CHAPTER 23

AN UNEXPECTED GUEST

ROSE

My eyelids fluttered open and a stream of light rushed in, making me shut my eyes almost immediately. After counting ten in my head, I opened my eyes slowly and adjusted to the light.

Yawning, I tried to throw my feet off my bed but Daniel's hand which was wrapped protectively around my waist, made me lie back, sinking deep into the soft bed.

Last night was one of my best nights ever. If I had magical powers, I would make everyday of my life to be just like that of the previous night.

Daniel's attitude last night was so overwhelming and it melted my heart. I sincerely hope it continues this way, no doubt, it will make our relationship more enjoyable and stronger.

Still in my fantasy world, I heard a deep grunt and I turned towards Daniel only to see him staring back at me. I flashed him a coy smile but to my surprise, he still maintained his stoic expression.

It was as if I wasn't even existing and it hurted me to my bone marrow. I refused to say an

    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

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

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.

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.

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?"
