Having completed my last appointment with Malik I rushed back to my apartment.

I rang the bell and waited impatiently for Kate my flatmate to open the door.

"Hiya Ria" Kate greeted with a huge smile which I returned.

"Heya catty" I said and she groaned at my silly choice of nickname for her.

I walked in and dropped my bag on the couch before turning to face her with a huge grin.

"Why do you look so...excited Ria?"

"You wont believe who came to my office? "

"Lemme guess Leonardo Dicaprio? "

"No you idiot"

"George Clooney?"

I rolled my eyes as she continued to rattle of random names, I skipped back to the couch and lifted my legs on the coffe table before picking up the T.V remote and switching on to a random news channel where the news of Mrs. Perrie Malik flashed.

She had died due to a sudden heart attack within a short period of time and without any particular medical complications,  according to the newspapers. But her poor widowed husband i.e the extremely rich and handsome Zayn Malik seemed to have lost his mind. He had been going around saying that he killed his own wife and repeat exactly whatever he told me in my office. This seemed to have stirred up the police people and they started suspecting that he was indeed behind the sudden death of his late spouse and then suddenly lost his mind which seemed to intrigue me because the way he spoke about his late wife made me feel that he was, deeply in love with her.  But the police thought otherwise and that made his business partner and concerned housekeeper force him into visiting a shrink but at first he refused and hence was dragged to my office by his business partner Mr something or the other Styles or Stones... who cares. They wanted me to cure him of his depressed and mindless state so that he'd stop spreading rumours about himself and get back to his normal self.

I was ofcourse rudely interrupted by Kate who waa shaking me.

"Hellooo? Victoria to Earth" she said with a grin and I stared at her dumbly.

"Oh god Ria just tell me who came to your office I'm dying t-"

"Zayn Malik" I said cutting her mid sentence.

"Who? What? Why? When? Where? How?" She asked her eyes almost popping out of her head. She had obviously seen his pictures in the newspaper and knowing her she was probably crushing on the poor widowed person.

"Umm well you know he's wife died and... well he thinks he killed her but his housekeeper Malory or Melanie I forgot her name says that Mrs Malik died of a sudden cardiac arrest and her death was natural according to the postmortem report and thats what the newspaper says too." I ranted.

"Sooo?" Kate dragged her words

"So I think that he maybe hallucinating or something or he is probably losing his sanity" I said.

"Oh thats a pity"

"Ummm why's that?" I asked confused.

"Cause..." she said unsure of what to say.

"What?" I pressed.

"He is so hot, isn't he?" Kate asked her eyebrows wiggling suggestively.

"Yeah that he is." I admitted.
