After Steve left the house, Gabby stayed in the living room for a while, staring at the door he had just walked out of. She wasn’t sure why, but she felt a little uneasy from the way Steve talked to her before leaving. Was she in danger? If not, why did he tell her not to go outside without him? She felt a little nervous and she could tell that Steve was hiding something from her. Was he just trying to protect her or didn't want her to know about what was going on?She sighed and tried to shake off the feeling. “Maybe I’m just overthinking,” she whispered to herself.To distract herself, she went to the kitchen to clean the dishes. Steve had instructed the servants to be coming in in the afternoon and since she didn't have much to do, she decided to help with cleaning the dishes. Then she went back to the living room and picked up the marketing strategies book she had been for a few days now. But even though her eyes were moving over the words, her mind wasn’t taking anything in. Sh

Then he turned to Gabby. “And you must be the lovely young lady I have heard nothing about.”Gabby smiled politely. “Hi. I’m Gabby.” She said, shaking Josh's hand. “Welcome, Gabby. I’m Dr. Josh. Come in, have a seat.”They all walked in and sat down.“So, what is bothering you?” Josh asked, turning to Gabby with a warm smile.Gabby hesitated. “It’s hard to explain. I have just been feeling weird a couple of times now. Like something is pulling me toward something, even when nothing is there. I feel strange, and it makes my heart race.”Josh nodded and started scribbling on a notepad. “And when does this usually happen?”“Only thrice now,” she said.“Hmm, have you been doing something difficult recently?" Dr Josh asked while jotting something down in his notebook." Yes, but not very strenuous," Gabby responded.Dr Josh threw a glance at Steve who was just seated there pretending as if he wasn't understanding what was going on.He cleared his throat and then continued. " That seems

As Gabby stepped out onto the street, her phone rang. It was Steve.She picked up quickly. “Hello?”“Where are you?” Steve asked.“I’m coming back now,” she said, her voice shaking.“Is everything okay?” Steve asked.Gabby looked back toward the café. “I...I ... don’t know.”“I’m coming to get you,” Steve said firmly.“No, I’m already walking back.”Steve didn’t argue. “Okay, I’ll be waiting at the gate.”Gabby hung up and hurried her steps. Her heart was still racing, and her mind was filled with questions.Who was that man? Why did she feel so strange when he looked at her? And why did it feel like a part of her knew him?Gabby walked quickly back to the office, her heart still beating fast. She looked back from time to time hoping that he wasn't following her behind. How did he know that she was having strange feelings? As soon as she got close to the gate, she saw Steve waiting. He had one hand in his pocket, and the other was holding his phone. When he saw her, he rushed toward

Steve’s face turned hard. “Gabby...”“No bother, let me finish,” she said firmly. "And then, the way you reacted today when I told you about him wasn't normal. Brother, I have seen that look on your face before, when you’re hiding something. You always change the topic. You always pretend it’s nothing. But it’s not nothing, Steve.”Steve sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. “You have been through a lot, Gabby. You collapsed today. Maybe it’s stress.”“No,” she cut in. “It is not stress brother, it is something else. My body reacts in ways I don’t understand. I feel things I can’t explain. You keep telling me I’m tired, overthinking, or stressed. But I know when something is real.”Her eyes filled with tears. “I trusted you with everything. Why won’t you tell me the truth?”Steve walked slowly over to the couch and sat beside her, keeping his eyes on the floor. “Gabby… it’s not that I don’t want to tell you. It’s that I can’t.”“Why not?” she whispered.“Because once I tell you,
