The moment I saw Daisy, my legs began to wobble underneath me.

"Good morning. Oh no, aftern…., no evening!" I stammered while trying to find the right words.

Daisy didn't even pay attention, she just looked at me scornfully and hissed before proceeding to walk to Sorin who was sitting up on the bed.

I saw his eyes light up with so much joy the moment she walked into the room and she drew him into a huge warm hug. My heart couldn't take it, I just kept looking at them because no matter how I tried, I just could not look away from them. I was also confused on whether or not to walk out of the room. While I was still struggling with organizing my thoughts, I heard Daisy say to me,

"Are you just going to stand there like an effigy or what?"

"And why is she looking like this?" Daisy asked and Sorin shrugged.

"Move!" She ordered and I immediately snapped out of my thoughts.

I opened the door and ran out immediately. I was sobbing profusely as I ran, leaving Kelvin with no other choice than

    “All this is happening because of him.” Anne said again, leaving the Doctor, who heard her clearly, confused.“Him?” The Doctor asked, unsure of what she was talking about. “Who is the person?”His eyes darted to Kelvin, “What is she talking about?”Before Kelvin could say anything, Anne tried to tell the Doctor the truth. “It's the same person that—”Kelvin cleared his throat loudly, cutting her off. She glared at him, but he held her hand firmly, and shook his head slowly.He turned to the Doctor, and said blankly, “It's nothing, Doc.”The Doctor furrowed his brow.“I mean, it's nothing you should be worried about.” Kelvin said again, also hinting to Anne not to say anything to the doctor about the actual cause of the situation at hand.Thankfully, she got the hint, and grunted in displeasure.“Are you sure though?” The doctor questioned further. “Because it looked like she really had something to say.”“Trust me, it's nothing.” Kelvin assured him, with his lip. curled into a slight

    NEW YORK NEW GEN HOSPITAL Anne paced nervously in the waiting area of the VIP floor, her mind all over the place. It had been hours since we got to the hospital and I was wheeled into the emergency room.Her heart raced as she thought of the worst case scenarios. Every “what if” she could ever think of, sent cold shivers down her spine.“Anne?” A familiar voice called out to her and she turned around.“Kelvin!” She exclaimed, rushing to him, sobbing all over again. “I didn't think you would fly back in. Oh my goodness.”“I'm sorry I'm late. I came as soon as I could.” He apologized.Immediately he landed back in New York, wasting no time, he headed straight to the hospital.He held her in his embrace, gently patting her back, and assuring her as he kept saying, “It's okay. Please don't cry. I'm here now. You're not alone in this.”Thankfully, it was the VIP floor of the hospital, and there weren't a lot of people present, so they didn't have to bother about being watched by any secr

    I had collapsed, and passed out.“Drea! Drea!” She screamed in horror as she rushed to me.Hearing Anne scream, Maggie, with another housekeeper rushed in to see what was going on.“Oh my goodness…” Maggie exclaimed, seeing Anne looking horrified, while I remained on the floor, almost lifeless.“Get the car right now!” Anne yelled at them, tears trickling down her face as she held onto me.The other housekeeper ran off, while Maggie stayed back with Anne to carry me all the way to the car.They hurriedly but gently placed me in the car and the driver zoomed out of the compound. And as they headed to the hospital, confused on what to do, Anne grabbed her phone and dialled Kelvin's number.“Pick up, Kelvin. Pick up your call.” Anne muttered amidst sobs, holding her phone to her ear.She hissed loudly as the phone made its last ring and wasn't picked up. She flung it to the footwell.“Be fast! We're running out of time. Step on it!” She yelled at the driver, who stepped on the gas, speed

    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.” “Uh.. I don't see how that is any business of mine, sir. I really don't understand what you're getting at.” She said, still looking confused.He scoffed, and raised an eyebrow. “Why do I feel like you already know what I'm about to say, but you're intentionally acting like you don't?”“Sir, I have no idea what you're talking about. In fact, I don't even know why I'm here or why we're having this conversation.” She said, with a curious look on her face.“Is that so?” He asked, with sarcasm.“Yes, sir.” She nodded as she responded.He smiled, “You'll understand soon enough. Just let me finish with what I was saying.”“Okay, sir.” She said, hesitantly.“Now as I was saying…. Guess what I saw?” He smiled mischievously, while Anne just stared at him, with curiosity still pla

    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
