…Dave was so tensed that he shook the girl in his hands. He threw a look at Emah. “What happened?“ He asked. Why was she looking like that?Emah felt like crying when she saw her friend like that. Normally, Mia carried her medicine everywhere she went. Whenever she acted up, they would give them to her and she would be fine.However, it seemed like she was too worried earlier that she did not remember to carry them. “She is in need of her pills. She did not carry them with her,” she said. “What should we do? She is in so much pain…”Mia groaned a little louder before she went silent. She had passed out from the pain. Dave felt more tensed. “Miaa!“ He almost screamed. He seemed to have thought of something. He lay Mia on the seat and rushed for the door. “Look after her as I get her medicine. I will be back soon,” he said.Emah nodded. But the next second, she raised her hand to stop the man. “You… you don't even know what kind of medicine she takes…” she sighed, since the man was al

Dave kept on waving his hands, asking me to open the window for him. I made sure I had locked my door well before opening it for him.“Why are you here?“ I asked in shock. He was a big man but at times, he did things that left me bewildered. Who would be climbing the walls into a girl's room at night?“I missed you,” the man said and pulled me into his embrace. I was frozen for a few seconds before sighing. “How do you even do that? We were together just a few hours ago!“ I said. I even began having a feeling that there was something wrong with his brain.But the man did not seem bothered. He released me and sat on the bed. “Did she cause you any trouble?“ He asked with a look full of seriousness. I knew that he was referring to mom.“Nope… How could she dare do that when you had warned her?“ I asked and sat beside him. “Big brother, do you have some serious problems? You can't be coming to my room like this?“The man was so silent for some time that I could not tell what was going o

I turned to look at Emah, hoping that she would explain things to me. But she was the first one to speak. “What the hell is going on?“ She asked in confusion. “President Daniels?“I shook my head at her. “I wanted to ask the same question. Why is he President Daniels again?“ I asked.Dan, who was calm on the side, flashed us his phone screen. “Are both of you so dumb? Who in this country doesn't know President Dave Daniel's of ZD company?“ He asked.I furrowed my brows. I had heard of that company, but Dave Daniels… Anyway, I wasn't someone who liked social media so much. So I could only look between the two of them.Emah hit her head with a sigh. “Ah! I was just so stupid! No wonder he looked so familiar. He is the son of the great Zack Daniels, the Chair of ZD corporation. No wonder!““Mmh?“ I opened my eyes wide in shock. Was he the son of such an influential man? I had heard of Zack Daniels. And… Dave Daniels… When their names were put together, I finally recognized. I had heard o

After exactly one hour, I walked downstairs, my heart beating fast. Recently, mom had stopped talking to me completely, so I did not need to inform anyone that I was leaving.I found Dave waiting outside the gate, leaning against his car, his hands in his pockets. “Did you wait for long?“ I asked as he pulled me into a hug.“Nope, I just arrived,” Dave replied. He released me and opened the door for me. And looking at his face, I could tell that something was bothering him.Since he had said that he was fine earlier, I did not ask him again. I did not want to bother him too much. I knew if there was something he wanted me to know, then he would willingly tell me.“Mia,” he called abruptly as he started the car, and looked up at him. There was a certain urgency in his voice that I could not ignore.He was silent again for a while, his gaze focused on the road that I almost thought I was hallucinating, that he had not called my name at all.However, after a few seconds, he looked at me

I stood outside the car for a second as I stared at him. “Are you mad at me because of all this?“ I asked, feeling isolated again, just like I used to be in the past. Maybe he was not happy because I had refused to talk to Zack?I watched as he sighed and got out of the car. “Mia, I can't be mad at you, even if I try to. Go on. You need to get your answers,” he said and patted my back.Had it been any other thing, I would not have left him. But I really needed to see mom now. I slowly waved him goodbye and walked into the compound. I ran straight to mom's study room. That is where she spent all her time while at home, especially when her things had gone wrong.I pushed the door open, and I could see her irritated face as she looked at me. “You left at noon, it is twenty past eight. Do you think you own the house to leave and come as you wish?““Mom…” I called, ignoring her outbursts. I did not care about her attitude towards me today. All I wanted were answers.“Ooh…” mom exclaimed w
