"What is that, sir?" A concerned Terry asked Jake.

"Are you out of your mind or out of your senses? Which one is it?" Jake thundered at him.

"I'm so sorry, sir." Terry said, still confused.

Jake smashed his fist on the table, making some books and files fall off the table.

"Are you trying to tell me that you do not know the contents of the papers you brought here for me to read?" He asked Terry who was visibly shocked at Jake's outburst.

Terry picked up the papers which had been scattered all over the place and he put them together while Jake looked on as he did this.

After he put them together in one piece, he looked at Jake who was glaring at him and it was very obvious that he was fuming in anger.

"Sir, I really do not know what is going on. If only you can tell me, I will know what to do." He said, carefully choosing his words so as not to anger Jake any more.

"Go through the papers yourself, you dimwit!" Jake shouted.

Terry proceeded to open the papers and as he kept flipping the

    I hurriedly tried to get up, but he quickly caught me before I could step away, his hands wrapping gently around my waist. “Sorry? Why apologize for kissing your husband?" He asked, his voice was warm, and reassuring.“Trust me, this is all I've ever wanted,” He continued, his eyes locked on mine. "For us to be free with each other, without hesitation.”“For you to finally acknowledge me as your husband, and be free to do whatever you like with me whenever you feel like. You know what I mean.” He winked, and a shy smile spread across my face.“Come here…” He murmured, his voice low and inviting. As he pulled me closer, I felt my pulse quicken. Our lips met again, and this time, I didn't run. Instead, I let go of my doubts, surrendering to the moment. I felt seen, wanted, and loved.As we kissed, the world around us melted away, leaving only the gentle hum of intimacy. His hands slid up my back, drawing me closer, and I felt a rush of warmth spread through me. Every touch seemed to i

    I wanted to see what his reaction was going to be like. I thought he was going to be disappointed in my family, but instead, he just stared back at me, his eyes holding no judgment for me or my parents and their dubious ways.He held my hands and said, “Thank you.”“For what?” I asked, my eyes staring deep into his eyes, utterly confused.“For everything. Most importantly, for trusting me and for being vulnerable with me. A very silly man like me.” He rolled his eyes, and I chuckled lightly.He really knew how to make light, an already tense situation.“Come on. What do you mean?” I asked, curiously.“I almost lost you, babe.” He answered. “I almost let you slip off my hands because I was stupid.” He said, with regret.I sighed, and held his hands too. “It's fine. That's all in the past. At least we're here now and that's all that matters.”“Yes, we are. And I'm grateful for this. Trust me, I won't stop loving you and I won't stop showing you to the world that I am yours and you are m

    And for the coming weeks, I always looked forward to our dinner dates, every night because we always had fun moments together. Thankfully, we didn't have to come face to face with reporters or random strangers because Sorin always made sure to book a private dinner room for us, knowing how uncomfortable and nervous I sometimes get with many unknown people around me.We would have little talks, deep conversations, be vulnerable with each other, also adding little jokes here and there till we lost track of time.We were basically trying to make up for the time we spent physically and emotionally apart from each other.One time, Sorin took me to one of his vacation homes across the city; a gigantic mansion.We pulled up to the mansion, and Sorin led me inside. The dining room was set for dinner, with crystal glasses and fine china on the table. Prior to our arrival, the chefs had cooked a delicious meal, exactly my request, and as we walked in, the aroma of the delicacy filled the air.

    “Please sit.” Sorin offered me a chair, opposite his. “Are you hungry? What would you like to eat?” He asked, and I could sense that he was completely nervous.I was quite nervous too, but Sorin was trying so hard to please me, so he appeared somewhat shaky, and I didn't like it.He spoke further. “Should I order something for you? Or would you prefer to pick something on the menu?” He got up, and tried to pick the menu for me.“Please calm down. I'm beginning to feel like I'm a bully here.” I suddenly blurted out, and he immediately stopped what he was doing.“Why would you say that?” He asked, still surprised as he slowly took his seat.I shrugged. “I don't know. It just feels like you're walking on eggshells around me.” I stated.“Really?”“Yes, and it makes me somehow uncomfortable.” I answered honestly.“Oh, I'm terribly sorry about that. I just don't want to make any mistakes tonight.” He answered, trying to calm down.I sighed. “It's fine. It's okay to make a few mistakes. We'

    MONTHS LATERFor the next couple of months, Sorin kept sending me romantic notes and handwritten apology letters, alongside breakfast. He sent them on a daily basis without fail. And after every letter, he always included a place for me to meet him and would always wait there for me even when he knew the probability of me not showing up was highly likely.He also sent Kelvin to get me every night, while he would always wait for me at the restaurant, cafè or anywhere else he mentioned in the letter.Sometimes, scrolling through social media, I would see posts about him and secretly-taken pictures of him alone at the places he had wanted us to meet.In total, he wrote about fifty-two(52) apology letters and fifty-two(52) romantic notes, sending each pair with my breakfast every day, including weekends. How he was able to keep up with writing them every single day despite having to go to work daily, still baffles me whenever I think about it. One amazing thing was that the letters and

    My phone alarm blared loudly, startling me, and I was jolted awake by the noise. It was 9am.“Uhhhh….” I groaned as I blindly tapped the alarm with my fingers, hoping to silence it, and I rolled over to the other side of the gigantic bed.Barely had I shut my eyes for a few minutes to catch some more sleep when the alarm set off again.“Nooooo…” I pulled the duvet over my head, kicking into the air.Realizing the alarm was determined to wake me up, I finally pulled the duvet off my head, picked up my yelling phone, and turned the alarm off. Exactly what I should have done in the first place; obvious solution, yet so delayed.I yawned and groggily got out of bed, still rubbing my eyes. Usually, I wouldn't wake up so late, but I guess the whole stress of the last couple of hours, coupled with some of the meds I took last night knocked me out for so long.I headed into the bathroom to brush my teeth; the first thing I did every morning before heading downstairs for breakfast.As I brushe
