Missing? What do you mean she is missing?" Kelvin questioned.

"Have you gone nuts!? He said, angrily raising his voice, making the few patients that were present look at him in a weird way.

He immediately realised and remembered that he was still in the hospital and so he held the phone away from his ear and quickly walked out. He found his way into the garden in the hospital premises but far away from the wards.

As soon as he was away from the piercing eyes of the people around him, he continued his conversation on the phone.

"What nonsense are you saying? Are you saying you can't do a freaking minor job!?" Kelvin furiously asked.

"I'm sorry, sir. I don't know how it happened." Paul, one of Sorin's many guards, responded to his superior, Kelvin.

"How can you say you don't know how it happened? Where were you?" Kelvin asked him further.

"I was in the hospital, sir." Paul responded.

"So she disappeared or grew wings and flew away." Kelvin asked.

"You were supposed to keep an eye on her

    It was a warm summer evening, and the sun had just set, leaving the sky bathed in a warm orange glow. John Richardson sat on the chair and stared at the large wall clock in his study.The study was a vast, elegant space with high ceilings, big windows, and furniture that was designed specifically for it. It had a large fireplace, beautiful chandeliers, and detailed mouldings. The walls were adorned with priceless artwork, antique maps, and rare books.At one end of the study, there was a well-stocked bar, complete with premium liquors, vintage wines, and rare whiskies, including the red wine belonging to the Zaveris company. Also, there was a humidor stocked with the finest, priciest and rarest cigars.And at the other end of the study, there was a private library, with shelves lined with leather-bound books and first editions. The collection of books ranged from classic literature to modern business books and biographies of other successful people.The massive desk, which was crafte

    The elevator was a few floors away from the ground floor when it stopped to pick up some other people and at that moment my heart began to beat faster than normal. I was scared that my cover would be blown and I might be caught by one of Sorin's guards since they always worked undercover and they were always anywhere he was. Since I had seen one of them upstairs, I knew that there would definitely be more of them around the hospital but I was hoping not to run into any one.As the doors opened, I pulled my hood over my head once again, while using my hand to hold it over my face to prevent my face from being seen. A few medical workers walked in and thankfully, they paid me no mind. They immediately continued gisting as soon as they got in and the doors closed. I guess they had been discussing right before they got in and so, decided to continue with their discussion like I was invisible."Jane, have you heard?" One of them, who I found out was Sarah, asked."Heard what?" Jane respon

    Few Hours earlier at Daisy House Daisy Cole sat majestically in one of the chairs in her room while scrolling through her phone and snacking on some cookies and some red wine. The red wine was the one belonging to the Zaveris. She was one of the few people who could afford such exotic and expensive wine and it was the best wine, so why not?"Since Sorin is still angry and has refused to pick my calls, I might as well just chill and enjoy myself." She said to herself."I didn't really do anything wrong, did I?" She asked herself."I didn't …Whatever!" She answered herself."I'm sure he'll come around soon and will come back to me. After all, he is all mine." She said to herself once again and chuckled.She was still scrolling through her phone when one of her guards, Sonia, came and stood by her door."May I come in ma'am?" Sonia asked."Yeah." Daisy responded and Sonia smartly walked in."What is it? Is there anything I should know?" Daisy asked her."Yes ma'am." Sonia answered but w

    Hearing "I'm sorry" from a doctor has to be anyone's worst nightmare, especially for someone whose loved one is in a critical condition. Most times, it could only mean one thing - "we tried our very best but we lost him or her." So immediately the Doctor said "I'm so sorry", we all had almost the same expressions, our mouths were wide open because we screamed "Nooooooo" in unison but in a turn of events, the doctor realized what was going on and was quick to salvage the situation. "Oh No. I didn't mean they are dead." He began and our eyes lightened up with hope."So, what are you saying, Doc?" Kelvin immediately asked him because Sorin was too shocked to speak."Exactly! Doctor, were you trying to scare us to death?" Daisy rudely said but the Doctor remained calm."Please talk to us Doctor." My mum said.The Doctor sighed before and continued talking."I'm sorry I gave you the wrong impression, I think my choice of words was wrong at the moment but you all didn't wait for me to fini

She had dreamt about me, I was taken captive and extremely tortured and my captors were making fun of me because I was helpless and they derived joy in my pain. She tried to help but she couldn't till she woke up.She took a moment to calm down after which she grabbed the curtains and pulled it aside, revealing the bright morning sun shining through the window.

    "Time? Time for what?" I asked the Doctor."It is time for your examination." He responded."Examination? What Examination? Am I writing an examination? Please, I know nothing about Medicine." I said with a confused look on my face.They all looked at each other's faces and giggled."Mrs Zaveri, you're not going to be writing any examinations. What I meant was that, it is now time for your medical examination to be carried out." The Doctor explained."Oh…." I said as I understood what he was saying. "But why? I'm not sick, I'm completely fine." I added."Well, you suffered a memory loss a few days ago and so, we need to check what could have caused it and make sure that you are a hundred percent fine now." The Doctor explained further."I did? I had no idea." I said, with my eyes widened in shock."Am I going to be fine?" I asked, concerned."Of course, you will." The Doctor assured me."Okay." I responded.The first Doctor signalled to the nurses and in no time they tried to help me

    The Doctors rushed to the scene immediately they heard Kelvin's loud voice, and they immediately rushed Sorin into one of the VIP wards where he was instantly attended to. In no time, he regained consciousness and was stable but he was still told to remain in bed so as to rest.After he regained consciousness, the Doctors came out to a disturbed Kelvin, who had been pacing the whole time, looking agitated. Immediately Kelvin saw the Doctors walking out, he quickly asked,"Doctor? How is he doing? Is he fine? What went wrong? Was it an accident? Was it an attack?" He kept going on with the questions without giving room for any to be answered."Sir, Calm down. There is no problem at all. Just calm down." The Doctor finally spoke."But is he going to be okay?" He asked further."Oh, yes, he will. In fact, he has regained consciousness and he is sleeping at the moment. All he needs is adequate rest for now." The Doctor replied.Hearing the news, Kelvin's demeanor changed. He was no longer

    Sorin swiftly flipped off the blanket that was used to cover his body in a flash and as he was about to stand up, he was pulled back by the drip line that was attached to his hand, which he had forgotten was still there.Before Kelvin could stop him, he yanked it off forcefully without looking back and began to walk hurriedly towards the door. As he held the handle and was about to turn the door knob, Kelvin caught him."Sir, they are fine. They are responding to treatment, they will be awake soon sir.Kelvin had been with Sorin for a very long time, almost all his life, so he immediately knew what Sorin was trying to do and where he was headed. He knew he was in a haste to check on his parents, who were still unconscious. He knew Sorin must have been thinking that something went wrong while he passed out, which was why he quickly stopped him before he left the room."Sir, you need rest as well. They will be fine and they will be awake in no time, very soon. Let's trust the Doctors."

    SORIN'S MANSION DAYS LATER “Good evening, ma'am. Welcome back.” One of the maids, Maggie, greeted Anne as she helped her with her suitcase.“Thank you so much, Maggie.” She smiled in gratitude as she walked into the living room.She had just arrived from the three-day company summit and although she was completely exhausted, she was proud of herself. Jake had thought that she was going to fail woefully but to his shock, she did well. She impressed the foreign partners and they immediately signed the deal with their company, awarding them a five-year contract worth millions of dollars, that could be renewed after the initial term.She smiled proudly as she thought about how it all went down at the summit. She never believed that she could pull such a huge task off brilliantly, but she was glad that she was able to, especially with the support of the members of her team.Still in her thoughts, she suddenly remembered me and snapped out of it.“What of Drea?” She asked Maggie immediat

    As soon as Anne stepped out of Jake's office, and was out of his sight, she gasped for breath. Her whole body trembled and she had to lean on the wall for support.“Calm down, Anne,” she whispered to herself. “Breathe….” She took a deep breath, letting the air fill her lungs, and slowly exhaled, feeling her tension ease.As soon as she was able to calm down and put herself together, she heaved a sigh of relief.She thought about what just happened and what she said to Jake.Amazed by her sudden confidence, she said to herself with a big smile, “Well, that was kinda fun.”Slowly, her smile soon began to disappear as the realization of the consequences of her actions hit her. “But I foresee trouble from here on now.” She said to herself again.She suddenly heard a sound shattering glass coming from Jake's office, and immediately raced to the elevator, heading back to her floor.Back in Jake's office, he stared furiously at the pieces of his wine glass which he had just slammed to the

    A bit confused, Anne frowned as she asked, “Thanks to me? What do you mean?”He began, “Well, I saw a certain someone hurrying somewhere during work hours. I thought it was an emergency and so, I decided to trail her.” “Guess what I saw?” He smiled mischievously, while Anne just had a curious look on her face.“I saw that ‘certain someone’ walking into Sorin Zaveri’s mansion. Without any hindrance at that.” He revealed and Anne’s expression immediately changed, her eyes filled with guilt.“Shit!” She muttered inaudibly, closing her eyes.“Do you know what that means?” Jake asked, but she didn't respond.“It means that this ‘certain someone’ is a regular in that house.” He said further, his back, turned to her. “Do you want to know who this person is?” He asked, his smile as menacing and scary as it can ever be.“No.” Anne muttered, knowing that Jake was referring to her.She also knew he was going to say it, regardless.He suddenly turned sharply towards her. “That person was you, A

    NEW YORK ZAS HOLDINGSAnne was working on her laptop when Isabella walked into their large office looking a bit worried.“Anne?” She called the busy Anne, who still had her eyes focused on the screen of her laptop.“Hmmmm.” Anne muttered, “What's up?” She asked, still not looking at Isabella.“What did you do to Mr Richardson?” Isabella asked her.Anne furrowed her brows. “What do you mean? Did he say I did anything?” She asked, nonchalantly. “‘Cause last I checked, we do not have any business together for now.” She shrugged as she kept typing on her laptop.“He has just asked to see you.” Isabella answered, and Anne's fingers suddenly froze as she stopped typing and finally looked up at Isabella.“What!” She exclaimed. “Wh… why?” She stuttered. “What did I do? Did he tell you anything?”Isabella sighed. “I have no idea. He didn't tell me. He just told me to ask you to come to his office immediately.” Isabella leaned forward as she added, “And with the look of things, he seems to be

    “Yes.” Sorin looked up at her. “What is going on? Why are you yelling?” He asked, a bit irritated.“Really? Why am I yelling? Is that all you're going to say to me?” She inquired, with a frown.Sorin’s eyes narrowed in confusion. “I don't understand. What should I have said?”She hissed. “I've been talking to you here, but you've been ignoring me because you're focused on something else.” She complained, getting upset. “Are you mad at me?” She asked him.“No.” He answered coldly, not totally paying attention to her.She turned away from the mirror and faced him. “Is your laptop your girlfriend now? Is it more important than I am to you?” She asked, curiously.He leaned backwards, on the headboard, staring at her. “Daisy, please, don't even start now…”“What is it? I'm not wrong now, am I?” She snapped at him.“Fine! I'm sorry. I apologize for not paying attention to you. But honestly, I really didn't hear you.” He quickly apologized, not wanting her to suspect anything.“Why? Because

    FOUR WEEKS LATERLOS ANGELES Daisy slowly walked out of the bathroom, her bathrobe snuggled around her body. She gently settled into the white stool at her vanity, the soft cushion, giving her the needed comfort. She stared at Sorin through the mirror, and as her gaze remained on him, and his eyes fixated on his laptop screen, a sly smile spread across her face.“Finally, I have him all to myself.” She thought to herself, her smile broadening.Sorin looked up from his laptop. “You're finally done. I thought you weren't going to come out of the bathroom till tomorrow.” He said, jokingly and she chuckled.“Well, you know how I love my beauty baths.” She commented proudly.His head snapped backwards. “Beauty baths? What does that even mean? He frowned, playfully rolling his eyes.“How do you think I keep my whole body looking this fresh and hot?” She continued.Sorin furrowed his brows.She scoffed, shaking her head. “I don't blame you. You can't understand.”“I agree. I can NEVER unde

    “Ma'am?” Kelvin rushed in too. “Oh my goodness!” He exclaimed.“Call the doctor, immediately. “ Anne yelled, panicking. Kelvin immediately took his phone, and swiftly speed-dialled the doctor. “Hello Doctor. It's an emergency. Please come by the—”“I’m not dead….” I weakly spoke up, stopping him mid-sentence.“Oh my goodness.” Anne sighed in relief, her eyes welling up with tears.Kelvin was also relieved to see that I was fine. I saw relief evident on his face.Although I spoke weakly, at least it gave them the reassurance that I wasn't unconscious, or dead, maybe.“What is going on? Is there an emergency?” I heard the doctor's voice faintly from Kelvin's phone.He immediately checked his phone and realized the doctor was still on the call. “It's nothing, Doctor. Don't bother. Bye for now.” He quickly spoke into the receiver and ended the call.“You scared me.” Anne said, wiping her tears as she helped me sit up.“I know, and I'm sorry.” I apologized, my voice a bit inaudible.“You

    “Mr Zaveri has left already.” Kelvin reiterated, making it clear to Anne that Sorin wasn't around, and her outburst was basically going to be pointless.“Geez!!!” Anne slowly dropped to the ground once again.“So he was in a hurry to leave right after serving her divorce papers? How much more insensitive could he be.” She said, her tone filled with disappointment.“Actually, we had a heated argument. A bit of an angry back and forth. I guess that was what made him pack up and leave earlier than he was supposed to.” Kelvin explained, but Anne shook her head.“That’s not an excuse, Kelvin. He is just wicked and insensitive. That's all I can say.”She turned to look at him again and at that moment, it clicked. Kelvin's busted lip was as a result of his argument with Sorin.She swiftly got up. “He did this to you, didn't he?” She asked him, her tone filled with both curiosity and certainty.He maintained a blank expression. “Anne, it's nothing.”“That's not what I'm asking you, Kelvin.” S

    “I’m so sorry.” Anne quickly apologized with a bow.And without waiting to see who it was, off she went again, running with a sense of urgency. As she got to the road, she raised her hand, hurriedly hailing a taxi.Just as the taxi stopped and she was about to get into it, Jake's car arrived, stopping a few metres away from them. And as soon as he saw her, he immediately noticed that she looked distraught.“Isn't that Anne?” He asked Terry, who also tried to confirm if it was truly her.“It appears so, sir.” Terry replied, and Jake frowned.“It appears so? Or she is the one? Which is it?” Jake asked, visibly upset by Terry's choice of words.“I'm sorry, sir. She is the one.” Terry apologized, correcting himself.“Where could she be going in such a hurry?” He asked, out loud.“I have no idea, sir. Do you want me to find out?” Terry asked him.“Yes, find out.” Jake answered sharply.Just as Terry took out his phone to make a call, Anne's taxi began to leave.“You know what? Forget it. F
