"How is this possible? How can this be happening at this moment? This is someone I have not seen in so many years. How can he be here right now?" Anne began to ask herself, while also looking confused."Maybe it's just a mistake, maybe he is just related to the CEO. Yes! That's what it will possibly be." Anne thought to herself, staring blankly at the wall beside her.Anne found it hard to believe the young man before her in the CEO's seat was that same Jake she knew long before that day. She found it hard to believe that he could be the CEO of ZAS HOLDINGS. She just could not imagine.Bringing her out of her misery, Jake cleared his throat loudly, calling her attention to him immediately. She hastily composed herself.Finally getting her attention, they began to speak in hushed tones, trying to deliberate, leaving Anne confused.She could have sworn right there and then that she would never get the job because all hopes of getting that job flew out the window the moment Jake walked i

I had taken my bath immediately after my discussion with Kelvin in the morning. I began to look for suitable clothes to wear, but to my frustration, I could not find any."Gosh! What do I wear now?" I asked myself as I stumped my feet on the ground in frustration. It was now almost the time I and Kelvin agreed upon to leave the house.I quickly picked up my jean trousers and t-shirt and put them on. I also had my long hair tied into a neat bun and wore one of my few sneakers. I accessed myself in the mirror and I was satisfied with my look."I guess this should do." I had said out loud as I looked at myself in the mirror once again.Although my parents were a bit rich, their wealth was nothing compared to the Zaveris- it could not come anywhere close. They wore good clothes but they didn't care much about what I wore or even if I had anything to wear. All they were after was themselves and themselves alone, which was the reason why i never went with them to important functions and ce

As we stepped out of the car and began to walk into the house, the other guards saw us, and they immediately rushed to help out with everything Kelvin was helping me carry. "Welcome ma'am." They all said in unison."Thank you very much." I responded, with a smile.They led the way and I followed closely behind, but as we were about to step into the living room, I spotted Sorin in the living room and my heart skipped a beat.He stood with his back turned to us, his broad shoulders standing out and well-carved out in his clothes. He wore a knitted woolen peach round neck long-sleeves and black free trousers."Good day, sir. " They all chorused and bowed their heads.He suddenly turned around and began to stare at me. As he kept staring at me, the smile that was previously on my face immediately disappeared. "Good day." He responded to their greetings and they all left, except Kelvin who waited behind."Hi." I awkwardly uttered.He didn't respond and I didn't bother to say anything els

I could not believe all I had heard. I felt like a piece of thrash, I felt rejected and forsaken. I felt so helpless. At that moment, I wished I could run away into the warm embrace of someone who would love me for who I am and not because they are forced to be with me.If my parents were good ones, I would have gone to them but I only knew that would make matters worse if I ever tried it. They would not hesitate to send me back to Sorin's house and add more pain to the one I was already feeling.My heart was so heavy, it felt like it was carrying a million pounds worth of load. It was aching so badly and I began to struggle to breathe properly. I soon began to shake and fell on my knees."What the hell are you doing here? Haven't I warned you to stay out of my business?" He asked, thundering at me."Why are you so bent on making both our lives frustrating and miserable?" He said again.I could not answer because the pain I was feeling was unexplainable.He picked up his phone and dia

I pulled away from Kelvin immediately or should I say, I flew away from Kelvin the moment I heard Sorin's voice. I immediately looked at him and saw him staring angrily at us. If I didn't know better, I would have thought he was jealous, but I was sure he wasn't because this was someone who didn't want to have anything to do with me, so why would he be jealous? There was no reason for him to be, but one thing I was sure of was that he was shocked. I was very sure that it caught him by surprise.I began to shiver like I had been doused with icy-cold water. I didn't know what to say to him or how to defend myself. Kelvin, knowing Sorin very well, didn't say anything either. Hence, there was an awkward silence in the room. I knew that whatever I wanted to say at that moment would only annoy him more than he was already, and I didn't want that. My heart could not take any more lashing out from him. I began to think of what to say to escape the awkward silence. I was also worried about Kel
