Rose povI sat behind my sleek desk, completely emersed in the work I was doing on my laptop. My fingers moved swiftly as I directed my secretary about an upcoming meeting, my mind was wrapped around the work I was doing. The television in my office was on a medium volume and I could hear what was being said. The reporter was giving news on government-related stuff and honestly, none of that was my business. My eyes darted to the TV immediately I heard Daniel's name. He was going about his philanthropist behavior again and I scoffed “Yeah so that's all for today also, arrange a meeting with Mr. Alfredo,” I said and she nodded before leaving the office. Once my secretary left, the mention of Daniel lingered in my mind. Although I pretended not to be interested, his name stirred the emotions I'd been hiding with work. During our last meeting yesterday, how I left him outside and how much it hurt came rushing down on me. I suddenly felt my hands shaking willingly. *Flashb

CHAPTER 146READER'S POV Daniel refused to believe that his ex-wife, Rose, was pregnant. He wanted to believe that her best friend was just pulling his legs and nothing more but Rose kept on saying the same thing.“I would never lie about this Daniel…” She went on and on trying to convince him but she was interrupted by eager and confused Daniel.“But if she is, why is it that she did not tell me? I mean even though we have our differences I have the right to be aware of this.” Daniel explained. Now, with his fingers on his right hand invading the space on his head as he played with his hair trying to calm down.Rose nodded before she eventually spoke, “Remember what I said earlier? That I do not even want to speak with you or even see your face but I had no other choice but to shove my emotions away and do the needful by informing you. If my best friend is pissed and blinded by her emotions, I have to stand in the gap for her and do the needful. It is up to you to set things right.”

These past few months her pregnancy had been teeming with with complications, causing her frequent visits to the hospital. Today was one of those days, she was tired of having to always rush to the hospital but also scared of losing the child, her mind was filled with prayers as she hoped she wouldn't lose the baby. Without much thought, she whispered to herself “ I can't lose my baby too, oh God.”“You won't darling, I promise. Everything is going to be alright you'll see.” Anna, her best friend said as she squeezed her arms assuring her.“Now stop frowning, how about some music, good music is sure to take our mind off things.” She said in a cheery voice as she battled with the dial.Rose nodded, grateful for the distraction, she couldn't bear to think what she would have done if Anna hadn't been there for her.A small smile graced her lips as she managed t

Daniel pov “The baby…” she muttered in shock “Yes…our baby” I answered she immediately stood up “Anna told you about it right?” She asked “I made her do it. I want to take care of you and our child…” “It's my child, not yours and I don't want you to have anything to do with me or my baby,” she said making my heart drop to my tummy “But you didn't get yourself pregnant did you?” She eyed me bitterly on hearing this “That doesn't mean you also got me pregnant” She tried to walk away but I grabbed her wrist “What does that mean?” I asked but she only gave a sly smile “The baby might not be yours idiot!” she said. Her voice was barely above a whisper. What she said seemed to have pierced my heart, I felt a sharp pain in my chest and fell on the chair “Go home safely…” she said and walked off like nothing happened. How could she say something like this? Did she sleep with another man after we separated?As I watched her walk away, her words echoed

ROSEWere this the pregnancy hormones they spoke of, call me crazy but at that moment there were lot of things running through my mind, it was almost as though I was feeling paranoid about the entire situation, or it was just the fact that I was meeting this news peopleSo far my attempt to put Daniel Fraser out of my mind and been quite successful, it was crazy to think of but at the same time, it was the best for me, best for the child—“Are you fine ma'am." It was the nurse speaking, I turned and realized that I had been so self absorbed and didn't realize that she had been standing there for quite a while.“Everything is fine." I was quick to answer. My mind blurred everything else she said while I concentrated on the one paramount thing that seemed to be at the center of my mind. “So Miss Rose, can you tell us how you feel in this trimester?" In my head it felt as though everyone was looking at me, I could feel my skin burn up as I i could feel it heat up from my anxiety.Of

CHAPTER 151ROSEIF there was anything any woman was afraid of it was Having complications during the pregnancy , as it was, I happened to find myself in that list and it was not just anything, I had that fear that this might just be a complication or maybe I was just over reacting.Soon as Anna pulled into the drive, she drove to the back of the parking lot of the hospital and parked next to one of the cars. It was a brief moment of anxiety as I walked gingerly toward the detached building that might have been awkward for a hospital.. I didn’t know what to say at that moment—who could blame me? I’d never even been in this condition. If there was anything I could feel at time it was most definitely anxiety — I must've been so distracted by my thoughts that I didn't know she was right next to me, it was after speaking that I became quite certain about my thoughts..At first my heartbeat jumped when she spoke.“Are you fine?" She muttered firmly. “Dinri, worry yourself. I am assured

CHAPTER 167ROSE“What are you doing? “That had been the first question that I had on my lips-He merely looked at me with his gaze saying a thousand things at that moment, I couldn't say what was happening but still with his heart racing wildly it was easy to say that he was definitely up to something." I looked at him blankly again.” My attention was drawn to where he had touched me earlier and I could swear that it still burned.Everything about the moment did, while expecting that he did speak , he didn't instead he merely looked at me while still locking his gaze in."I just need to tell you that there is a need for you to be careful.” He muttered. “Be careful about your friend Anna. “I was so confused about everything that was going on that I couldn't decipher all that was going on at that moment.What could this be about?Why did he want me to be careful about her?

I asked immediately.Anna seemed to be hiding something as she seemed usually quiet -“Is there something you want to tell me?" Anna muttered and I found myself thinking of why she had asked.For me it most definitely had to be for a subtle reason, one that left me in a daze still pondering about the situation.“No, I am just here … why did you ask?”While still running through all the entirety of what to say at that moment, I tried again to play through the entire situation at the back of my mind."What are you doing throughout the rest of tomorrow.”I was still trying to get thro
