ROSEStaring back at Daniel, who was on the other side of the door, I gulped, using my body to cover the entrance so he wouldn't have a peek of my room.“Why the noise?” He asked with a sarcastic tone, looking me over.“I wasn't making any. What do you want from me?” I asked, trying hard to contain my anger. After everything that had happened this morning, I doubt if I would be able to forget it in a hurry.“Step aside.” he said but I didn't budge, instead, I stepped out of the room and then banged the door shut. “Let's talk out here.” I said, placing my hand across my chest.After clearing his throat, he used the tip of his fingers to scratch his forehead before saying, “I just want to let you know that, there is nothing going on between us and you shouldn't feel so entitled. Everything can be gone in an instant.”Irritated with his words, I snapped my head to the side, seething with anger.“Why didn't you come downstairs for breakfast when the maid came to fetch you?” He asked.“No
DANIELAll through work the next day I couldn't get my mind to concentrate on anything.In a way I couldn't get that face from Justin Powell out of my head, he had looked like a wife as though he knew her and was more familiar with her but that was all where it ended.I wouldn't have paid more attention to it If I hadn't seen them together at the exhibition and perhaps if she hadn't sneaked around, now with thoughts, it left me with more twist to believe that the two had something.I couldn't help but feel unsatisfied at the fact that she was meddling in my affairs—It was only later I was able to get the thought out of my head and that was While seated at the table with Maurice much later that evening.Maurice sat closer to where I was at the luxurious restaurant we had been face buried at work for the past three hours and thought it was only best we took time out.“What are you thinking about?" He arched his brows and stared straight at where I was.I took a deep sigh. In Spite of
ROSEFive hours ago…I watched him leave, at that moment several thoughts trailed through my mind, I tried weighing several thoughts through my mind.A heard a knock on the door just as I was turning away from the window and he walked into the room.“I am leaving for work, might not be coming back this evening." He muttered.I stared straight at him, locking my eyes with him.“Fine then… “ I turned away from him, still feeling annoyed at the entire situation.While hoping that he leaves the room, I turned to see him standing there locking gaze with me.“Do you still need anything?"" Yeah, he Stepped closer.”Immediately he did, I could feel the anxiety from earlier starting to feel me up from deep within, the thought of the night we shared sent shivers through my spine.“I don't need you getting out of here today."" Really, why?” I asked. "I thought…”" Just stay indoors!”He walked away leaving me standing there staring at his dismissal, I inhaled a deep breath of him.“I guess
ROSEFor a moment we sat there in silence, after the entire lengthy hours of talking and trying to convince me otherwise that he knew who I was, we arrived at nothing.“Can you do me a favor though?"“Yeah, what is that?" He asked just as he was turning off the ignition of the car.“Just don't tell Daniel anything, I am not admitting to the fact that I have a complicated past just as you say but please just do me this favor."He looked rather stunned at my request. “Why don't you want him to know?"“For now, please promise me."“Fine, I promised."I alighted from the car and made my way to the front of the house. In a way I hoped to myself that Daniel wasn't back yet, when I saw the parking lot empty with his ride I sighed in relief.Justin had just turned his car and was heading away when he stopped.“Rose." He calls out.Wondering what it was all about, I turned to see him waving my purse.“Oh, thanks for that." I made my way to get back to him to get the purse but just then I trip
ROSEDaniel Prescott was most definitely a mad man and it took today to know that!It was the longest twenty minute wait of my life, after the guard had literally dragged me in and shut the door I kept waiting to see how it would all go. Deep down In my mind I was hoping that he didn't shoot an innocent man like Frank. Still the odds were slightly tilted.How fitting my belief had been that all of this could have been averted while the chances fj thank happening seemed rather slim, it didn't take away the fact that it was possible.Regardless of how I felt I still dragged myself to the bathroom, turned on the shower, climbed in.My mind spun with desperate thoughts of how to fix this, but no matter how hard it seemed like I had tried, they all ended on a hopeless note.I clenched my fist and muttered lightly about how it was crazy that I had agreed to his term's all at the beginning, all this wouldn't have been the case If I wasn't entangled with a crazy, crazy man like Daniel Presc
A wave of shock rolled through me when I thought I would have to kill frank and to be sincere I thought as well that I could have as well as shot him in the head.My breath stopped and my stomach tightened as I walked out of her room…Anyone who knew me could write a full book on how possessive I was. And while I might be in denial at that face most of the time, it turned out what they thought about me was fact, every bit of it.I hated sharing anything that was mind and seemed to be defensive about.Having Frank out his arm around her waist looked to be the craziest things ever and even now with all the the craziest things that had happened, I was still feeling that dark aura in my mind.I rang up Frank as soon as I was in my room.“Do you remember our deal?" I asked.He was quiet for a while now hesitating to answer or perhaps perplexed by how easy I was able to convince him about agreeing to my wants.“Yes, I haven't forgotten."“Good for the business then… "I felt More or less
ROSE’S POVAs we walked down the escalator, the sound of our heels clicking on the concrete was the only noise that could be heard.For more than five minutes now, I have been waiting for Amy'e response but she wouldn't say anything. Not going to lie, it was annoying but I didn't mention it to her.It was her habit which I considered a bad one at that. Several times, I have tried to talk her out of it but since she is determined to keep up with it, I have no choice but to put up with her.Immediately we were off the escalator, I stood in front of her with my hands across my chest and my gaze fixed on her.“Young lady, aren't you going to answer my question?” I snapped.“A question? When was that?” She asked with a raised brow.“Are you fucking being serious here? I asked you a question before we got on the escalator and now you are acting as if I didn't say anything.” I scowled.“You didn't ask a question, you asked for my suggestion. What do you think? — it's a suggestion and not a q
ROSEHe was bleeding from his nose and lips as I stared at him rather astonished, Amy throughout the entire while had this look of astonishment on her face as she stared from Daniel to my face.“We will talk later, let me get going.”I watched her leave, as I stood rather awkwardly.Just yesterday i could imagine him spewing out his soul over the fact that I was touched by another man, now he was here again standing up for me“You are bleeding." I attempted to touch his nose but he took steps away from where I was.“Don't." But you are bleeding.He rolled his eyes instead. “Just get into the fucking car."The drive home was all quiet, I sat still for what looked to be a long time in trying to think of what was going on through his mind.We didn't make the right turn as we should and it surprised me, I looked uncertainly at the entire situation.“Where are we going?"He didn't reply, all he did was give out a grunt. He rolled his eyes. “I am going to my penthouse."I sighed, not knowin
170.ROSEWatching him with his son painted the most beautiful picture for any woman, and he looked so perfect regardless of whatever I had thought. Being with him meant I had to deal with a lot, now the man was not one perfect… You know, no one ever is, but still the past they say is the past.So when he had popped the question right there with the nurses watching, when he had asked that I be his wife again… My answer has been Yes. I didn't just go all the way to make the decision for nothing, as I had said it came with a lot of benefits, what I didn't say was that I had to deal with a lot of his mess, that was what loving someone is all about anyways … Dealing with the lapses and all.He looked to be quite aware of his attitude and didn't look to make a big fuss about it , perhaps he could sense that I was putting a lot into dealing with him as well and was doing what could be done to make it more accommodating for me.Regardless, I was living in this strange new world at the ba
ROSELooking past this man a long trail of air trickled in through the open door, drifting through the room for a minute or two before settling with that restless haste, at that moment my mind was drifting through different things at that moment with most having to do with a way to get over the situation that was pending at the moment, the more I tried to understand all that was going on that moment, the more my soul was filled with that feeling of uncertainty.At first, it was starting to look like he could be right, it had been three days since I walked Anna out of my house and at the moment, I was standing in her living room, with sounds of moans filling the air amidst the heavy scent of sex .It was obvious what was going on and I didn't have the need to be informed what it was all about, it was easy to tell because I had just watched her go in with Marcus of all people twenty minutes ago… I thought to myself if that was what he wanted to tell me all along. I blinked my eyes, m
ROSEThere were many things I couldn't get myself to do at that moment and the most definite one was finding answers to all that was going through the situation at that moment. I was still angry about the entire situation as it seemed blank at the back of my mind. Much as I tried not to think about it, it still felt crazy that I couldn't do anything or scream out in frustration.Still deep down in my soul, I could feel that regrettable feeling. In a way I didn't know where all the feelings from me were sprouting from but if there was anything I wanted it was to leave as fast as I could.Well all that happened yesterday, the wind blew throughout the room as it left me rather confused -Thought if him crept through my mind again, still beneath all of this was that question that remained yet unansweredMy mind went back tinted by the entire event yet again, I had lain in bed for a long minute, what was happening through all of this. In a way I found myself asking over and over again
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? Much as all this was going through my mind enough that all I did was roll my eyes.“Fine I had listened to you
Rose All that was happening made it hard for me to comprehend at that moment, still all this while It was still hard to comprehend why I am still not able to get him to understand that it would be hard to forget all that had happened.The past left a bitter feeling at the back of my mind, while still trying to comprehend all that was going my phone buzzed and I Picked it up immediately.“Where are you at?" 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
DANIELLife pulls some strings and you are just left at times behind trying to figure out what to do, such is that that I had found myself, I was left in the past leaving Right there amidst the damages I had brought upon myself.Perhaps this same reason was why she would never trust me again, when they say good things they say come in little packages at the moment that was the case of something I had taken for granted.I wasn't shocked seeing him walk into the pub,matter of fact my spilling my drink had nothing to do with Marcus at that moment, i was shocked about the woman he was with -It was funny in a way how I chose to perceive how intellectual she had to be all this whole while for being the last person we'd suspect all this while, for the first time that evening I wouldn't deny having that smile on my face.Only this time it wasn't because I was happy, rather I was damn shocked! The smile was there when the bartender had walked to where I was , while still thinking of what t
DANIELAn Intruder of my heart, that was the best way of phrase to qualify this woman that looked so radiating at that my moment, I couldn't tell what she was talking about at that moment.One moment we were having the best moment of our life and in the next she was all angry over a reason I didn't even know -“Are you fine." I asked again when she had Stepped out .She looked at me like she didn’t expect that I would ask her that question, she seemed most definately shocked at that moment, while still trying to get the thought of everything out of my mind.The atmosphere had completely changed since that past moment, here I was still trying all I could to play through the incident again, wondering how I could play through the incident again at the back of my mind -“I am fine, I just want some time to myself." She muttered through the entire incident at that moment.In a way, her scent had filled my nostrils and they got me fascinated about her. Her scent troubled my heart enough tha
ROSEIn the heat of the moment , I could feel my heart bleeding, here I was with a bleeding hand yet nothing was at the back of my mind, rather than how it felt to have him so close to me,was I getting Crazier!I stopped and pulled myself away. At that moment it made no sense doing this to anyone as I felt unreasonably cheap, or wasn't I.He stares at me trying to read the situation but then I was from it, while all I seeked was sanity it didn't help that all of this were happening -All of a sudden I could feel everything coming back to the my head, it was that moment that I had to pick between being cheap or just-“Step away from me." I pushed back at him, forcing out a grunt as I didI couldn't even look into his eyes to say those Words, I could feel the pain though … That bot of pain from my hands but there and then.When I did look up at him he appeared rather flushed at my actions with a smirk coming to his face as he blinked his eyes looking at me. " I can't understand what is
ROSEWill these good things last forever, it was definitely the last thought that had filled my mind as I tossed and turned on the bed, somehow my mind was still left heavy after all that had happened the previous day and I was still seeking a way out of it at that moment.While I couldn't make out how the night had gone especially after those few last moment after dinner, one thing was obvious and that was the fact that we were together, in other words I was at his apartment -I could feel it from how the room felt so warm and the fact that his scent filled the room, to make this more certain, I had turned and right there he was. That morning all I got while looking at him was this continuous round of disturbing taps at the back of my mind, it was surprising.in a way that after all this while, he still made my heart race, at the same time the feeling was welcome.At first after those first few minutes after I had woken up with a vision was still blurry, it was hard to make out the
