I was still lost in my many thoughts when I drifted off to sleep on the couch in the main lounge. I guess I had been sleeping for hours because I didn't notice when someone walked in. I was awakened by the slam of the door and jerked up from my sleep in fear as I thought the house was about to be robbed.
As a matter of fact, I had not gotten accustomed to the fact that I was already married and living with someone. And also, if not that I wasn't thinking straight, why would I think a Billionaire's house like Sorin's, was about to be robbed when there were numerous guards in the house.
I began to hear different sounds coming from upstairs and I became more confused. I tip-toed into the store room and found a golf club. I picked it and started following the sound I was hearing, I was determined to strike but I was shaking at the same time. I mean, what could a frail young woman do to defend herself if situations come to the worst?
As I made my way into the room, I heard a glass shattering on the well-tiled floor which made me shake the more in fear. I stopped in my tracks for a while and summoned courage.
Holding the golf club up in the air, I screamed as I charged towards the room, closing my eyes and swinging the club in the air.
"And what the hell do you think you're doing?" He thundered, holding his head which had been hit by the club in my hands.
The golf club fell off my hands as I looked in shock, with my hands covering my mouth at the sight of what was before me.
I had hit Sorin's head with the club! The impact had now caused a deep wound on his head and he was bleeding.
He swiftly held unto the spot on his head with his hands as he looked at me in horror.
His eyes widened and became as red as thick blood, his brows narrowed as he stood up and began walking towards me while I kept walking backwards.
I could see the blood on his head had now started dripping down to his eyes. I kept walking backwards until I was stopped by the wall behind me and I could move no further. As I hit the wall, I felt a strong pain in my left shoulder and I flinched in pain but I paid no attention.
I was focused on the man in front of me, who was looking like he was about to tear me into shreds.
"Are you trying to kill me? It's bad enough that I have to marry you and put up with you and now you're trying to kill me in my own house?"
Tears began to well up in my eyes as I began to speak but the right words just refused to come out of my mouth.
"I'm sorry, I...I thought……" I began to stutter.
"You thought what? You are always thinking! You always do everything wrong!" He continued speaking in anger, his hand still holding his head.
The sound of his angry voice called the attention of the guards in the house and they hurriedly ran to us. They stopped as soon as they got to the door because they knew better than to enter into the room without being summoned.
"Boss, are you alright?" Kelvin, Sorin's personal guard and assistant asked with concern in his voice.
Seeing how quiet the room was, he sensed something was wrong and asked again, "Sir, may I come in?"
"You may." Sorin finally responded.
Immediately, Kelvin rushed in and was dumbfounded at what he saw. He immediately knew what had happened, he looked at me in utter disbelief and ran towards Sorin to help him.
"Sir, should I call the doctor? I think there might be a wound already. Should I call the ambulance?" Kelvin kept asking questions but Sorin didn't speak, he only shook his head while I stood there, not knowing what to do or what to say.
"There will be no need for that, I'll be fine. Just get the First Aid box, I will fix it myself." Sorin said to Kelvin and he immediately turned to walk out of the room.
"And Kelvin?" Sorin called out and Kelvin stopped in his tracks. "Please, get her out of here this minute!" Sorin commanded and Kelvin obeyed immediately.
"Ma'am, this way please." Kelvin said to me, gesturing for me to walk out of the room but I was too lost in thoughts that I didn't hear him.
Since I stood like a statue and didn't hear or move, Kelvin turned to look at Sorin, because he didn't want to touch me without permission.
Kelvin had been Sorin's personal guard since he was much younger. He was the only one Sorin trusted and he was the only one who knew everything about Sorin. Anyone who tried to hurt Sorin would always have Kelvin to contend with because He was totally loyal to Sorin to death. Although, he was a little bit older than Sorin, they were like brothers when they wanted to be and he had sworn to protect him with his life. Even though Sorin always put up an "i-don't-care" attitude, deep down, he would do anything for Kelvin.
Kelvin was smart, muscular and well-built, he always had a straight face and will never be caught cracking a smile. He always came up with the best solutions whenever Sorin had too much on his plate which was why he was Sorin's most trusted guy.
Although handsome too, his looks were nothing compared to Sorin's. Sorin was perfectly handsome, he was always the talk of the town, every event he attended, he sure would always make a mark. The Head of both male and female would always turn the moment he stepped in the room. He was just perfect!
"Sir?" Kelvin called out to Sorin and he turned to look at him and he, in turn, looked at me.
As Sorin turned towards us, he noticed what Kelvin was calling his attention to. It was me, I was so far in my thoughts, I didn't know what was going on anymore at that moment but tears kept pouring out of my eyes.
"Carry her out, if you need to! Don't just stand there like a fool, Kelvin!" Sorin thundered in anger.
It was like his voice brought me back to life, I felt like a fool, a disgrace, and I felt helpless. At that moment, it felt like my legs could no longer carry the little weight of my little body. I crashed down to the ground in fear and passed out.
"I wish I could lay my hands on that good for nothing girl! Urrrrgggggghhhh!!!! I sure would squeeze the living day out of her.""How could she do this? How foolish and clueless can she be!" Daisy Cole said angrily while pacing around her room."I really do not know why you would agree to such useless arrangement in the first place. Just look at you." She continued as she bent towards Sorin to check his wound which was now covered with a band-aid. Her beautiful black eyes travelled round his entire face to see if there was any other wound inflicted on her precious boyfriend, Sorin.Sorin tried to calm Daisy down and explain the whole situation to her but she wasn't having it. She was fuming in anger. Only if she could lay her hands on me at that moment, I'd be a dead and gone."Calm down, Daisy. You're just being unnecessarily dramatic." Sorin said to her.Daisy, shocked at Sorin's words, stopped to look at him,"Dramatic? Did you just say I am dramatic?""Yes, Daisy, you're just bei
"Sir? Are you okay?" Kelvin asked his boss, as soon as he got into the car but got no response from him.He immediately knew something was wrong. Having been with him for years, he knew something must have happened for Sorin to walk into the car and slam the door the way he did. He also didn't wait for the car door to be opened for him before he entered the car.Getting no response from Sorin, he didn't want to ask too many questions so that he wouldn't anger him more.Sorin's phone began to ring but the moment he saw the caller ID, he silenced the phone and looked away.Kelvin peeped from the front seat and saw the caller too- It was Daisy. "Sir, your phone has been ringing. Aren't you going to pick it, sir? Kelvin asked, concerned because the phone kept ringing but Sorin wouldn't budge.Sorin raised his eyebrow and stared at Kelvin with utmost anger which made Kelvin look away immediately."Mind your business! If you know what is good for you, you'll drive this minute!" Sorin comma
"Strange? What do you mean, Doctor?" Mum asked, not because she was concerned for my health but because she didn't want any of their plans disrupted."Is she going to die?" Dad asked the doctor which made the doctor turn to look at him in utter shock."What!?" The doctor almost screamed in shock."How could you say such things, sir." The doctor asked him. "If you're going to be this negative around my patient, please leave this room." The doctor added."We're so sorry Doctor, my husband was just worried for our daughter. It was just the wrong choice of words." Mum said, coming to the rescue once again."It's fine, I just do not like any negative utterances and actions around my patients, whether they are conscious or unconscious." The doctor explained further."I'm sorry, Doctor. It won't happen again." Dad said to the doctor."There's no problem." The Doctor replied after which, he picked up his stethoscope and checked my heart beat once again while my parents watched in anticipatio
The Black, tinted Rolls-Royce, halted in front of The New Gen Hospital. Kelvin turned off the engine and called out to Sorin because he was far away, in his own world."Sir? We're here." He said to Sorin, which made him jerk about into reality.As he peeped outside through the car window, he began to wonder why they were at the hospital at that moment."And what are we doing here, Kelvin?" He asked Kelvin, raising his eyebrows in confusion."Mrs Zaveri is here, sir." He answered."Mrs Zaveri? What are you talking about, Kelvin?" Sorin questioned him further.Kelvin paused for a while as he began to think of what Sorin's reaction was going to be like when he finally told him that he brought him to the hospital to see me, his wife.He had thought Sorin heard him earlier, when he asked if they should come to the hospital to see her but it just dawned on him that Sorin didn't hear because he paid no attention at that moment but now that they had gotten to the hospital, he knew it was goin
There's been a very serious car accident, sir." He was finally able to say after pausing for a while to catch his breath and compose himself."Who was involved? That girl?" He asked."I'm afraid… She isn't the one sir." He answered."Then who? And if she wasn't the one, why were you planning to kill us?" He asked him further."Mr and Mrs Zaveri, sir. Your parents." He finally said, after garnering a lot of courage."What!?" How come? How? Where? When? Both of them? Are they injured? Is it very bad?" He kept questioning Kelvin as he began to shake like a lone leaf on a stream of water."I'm yet to get the full information, sir but they are at the New Gen Hospital. Damn! I think they were the ones who were rushed into the hospital when we were leaving. I'm going to turn right back now." He kept talking but got no response."They'll be fine. I hope they will be fine." He kept reassuring Sorin."I can't lose them too. No way! Please stay alive for me. Don't leave me alone. Please." Sorin
I heard rushed footsteps coming towards the door of my room and in the twinkling of an eye, different doctors and nurses walked into my room, in a single file. All of the doctors wore white coats over their blue scrubs and they had their stethoscopes with them while the nurses only wore light blue scrubs.Apparently, the Doctor who came to check me was the renowned Doctor Matthew Kent; the Chief Medical Director and the Head of all the other doctors in the Hospital. Little wonder why they all came in their numbers immediately he called. He was also the most skilled surgeon in the hospital and mostly attended to patients in the VIP rooms. It was like he was created just for the main purpose of being a surgeon because he didn't have to stress too much, all he had to do was check the patients' files, check the patients' symptoms and give a diagnosis and after various tests were carried out on such patients, he was always correct and the others felt he was too proud. This made him also g
Anne sat on the edge of the small bed in her small room, she felt uneasy, it was like something was wrong but she could not figure it out yet. She had just gotten back from work and she was tired but the way she was feeling, overshadowed the tiredness. She began to bite her nails and tap her feet continuously on the rug in her room, while the fingers on her other hand kept tapping her knee at the same time. This, she always did whenever she was anxious and needed to figure her thoughts out."Why do I feel so uneasy?" She asked herself, as she began to drown herself in different thoughts.Anne Jones; my best friend, we met in college and we were roommates, well, that was before I dropped out of college since my parents could no longer sponsor my education and they ordered me to stop, due to reasons best known to them. They claimed they had no money anymore but I knew that was all a lie, they just had other plans up their sleeves. Anne was not from a wealthy family but they were comfor
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
