DON’T TOUCH HER! SHE’S MY WIFE 34-REMINISCENCE
READERS' POV“Is there something you want to say to me?” Rose asked, readjusting her gown.“Please sit.” He replied, pointing at the chair opposite him. Rose did as he had said expecting him to start speaking but about ten minutes passed without him saying a word or even making an attempt too. He only decided to break the silence when Rose adjusted on her seat.“Well…” He filtered off as he allowed his shoulders to slump before he propped himself up on the chair he was occupying.“So… are you ending the conversation now? You asked me to wait.” Rose said with a raised brow, staring back at him.“Well…” he filtered off again.“Are you alright? It's fine if you don't want to share.”“No, I will.” He took a brief pause and then continued. “The last relationship I got into was three years ago and since then, I crossed my heart, not wanting to love again.”“What happened between you and your partner?” Rose asked, her attention piqued as she stared back at him.“Her name was Priscilla, yeah…

ROSEI shoved the sheets over my head, the anger I felt still threatened to take over. How could he?! It was one thing to be rude, but it was an entirely different thing to get to the point of almost hitting me! He definitely crossed the line the moment the thought even so much as crossed his mind.Daniel had always proven to be on the stubborn side, blunt to a fault and never knowing where to draw the line between giving his honest opinion and being rude.The shivers still ran through me everytime my mind went back to how his hand had been so close, so close to actually causing damage, to me! I have to do something, there was no way I was going to let something like that slide. Maybe if he hadn’t gotten physical I would have let it go, but he had. But wouldn’t I be overreacting though? Ugh!I swiped my phone from the night stand and dialed the one person I knew would always have answers for me. Anna.She picked up on the first ring and I couldn’t help but smile as her cherry voice ca

Daniel's POVSitting behind the kitchen counter, I had a cup of coffee to my lips as I scrolled through my laptop. Today, I had a few engagements so I had the whole morning to myself.This morning, since I had nothing to do, I decided to review my work since the week began. When I was done, I rated myself a five star since it was satisfying.Still sipping from my cup, I allowed my eyes to wander around but didn't find anything of interest. Bored out of my mind, I returned to my room, hoping to get lost in a journal but I couldn't stay still and so I had no choice but to prepare and leave for work.About an hour later, I was in the company's garage, swinging my briefcase as I made my way to the elevator that was going to take me to my office.Some staff were gathered at a corner chattering, I wanted to know what they were talking about but I didn't stop even for a second.On getting to my office, I met Mike arranging some files on the table and immediately he saw me, he straightened

ROSEI needed to do something crazy at that moment, something that is totally out of the blues …Immediately I heard those words and the fact that they knew who the buyer was I felt the need to pull out one more stunt.The good thing was I was a master of disguise and this could as well work and the bad part was a part of me really wanted to Know how he would react to all of this, especially to what wanted to do.I rolled my eyes as I watched the two men talking, just then I took a few steps away and acted as though I was trying to excuse them.I walked a couple of distance's away before crashing right there on the floor making certain that I made a thudding noise.“Fuck w-hat just happened!" I heard Daniel's scream.He was quick to reach where I was, tilting my head I could feel his gaze boring into mine . With the rate at which his heart was beating and how he was sounding I could have almost given myself away.“Get me a bottle of alcohol." Just as I was about processing the tho

ROSEI let out a sigh of relief when the door opened, revealing a maid instead of Daniel or his assistant. My heart was still pounding from the close call, the stolen paperwork tucked securely into the back of my pants. I had to think quickly."Are you alright, miss?" the maid asked, concern etched across her face."Yes, yes, I'm fine," I lied, forcing a smile. "Just feeling a bit lightheaded after my fainting spell earlier."She nodded sympathetically. "Mr. Prescott sent me to check on you. He was quite worried when you collapsed."Feigning nonchalance, I waved my hand dismissively. "That's kind of him, but I'll be just fine. You can tell him not to trouble himself any further."The maid hesitated, clearly unsure if she should leave me alone after the dramatic events. Pressing on, my tone grew firmer yet polite. "Really, I insist. I just need some rest, that's all."Finally, she acquiesced with a reluctant nod. "Very well, miss. I'll let Mr. Prescott know."As soon as she left, closi

READER'S POVDaniel barged into his office with the same amount of force that would bring down a grown man in a boxing ring.He could smell that there was something fishy in the air but he just couldn’t guess what it was.Rose was hiding something, that much was clear. It didn’t matter how innocent she thought she looked, he could feel it in his bones that there was something she was doing her best to cover, the problem was that he didn’t know what.He let out a frustrated sound from the back of his throat. He knew he wasn’t crazy and he knew he should watch the footage but he felt that there wasn’t going to be anything concrete there for him to find.Rose had been a little too nonchalant about letting him check the footage.Whatever she was hiding, she had probably gotten rid of it, so he knew that was a complete waste of the time.He rounded his desk and sat plopped down on his desk chair and began to tap his fingers impatiently on the table, trying to come up with a way to pin ri

This didn't feel right, something was off with Rose, why did she look like that? First, she knew about the news quickly, and another moment she had come up with a plan when he was yet to think of something.This was too suspicious, she must have had a hand in this, she definitely knew something about this and he was hellbent on finding out about the truth.If the truth came out and he found out that Rose knew something about it, she should better feel sorry for herself or get someone who'd feel sorry for her!He walked out of the room to find her sitting on the couch, legs crossed, and a glass of juice with her. Seemed she was celebrating herself for his downfall, but this was not the end. Definitely not the end!Rose seemed to notice him

CHAPTER 41READER'S POVRose came down from her car and looked around. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the parking lot was empty save a few cars and there were no people lurking around.She put her keys in her bag, put on her sunglasses and drew her hat closer to her face. She made sure that nobody was walking around in front of the restaurant whose red brick walls made it seem as if it was built in the sixties before walking to the front door. She nodded at the man tending to the front door, not saying a word so that she wouldn't draw attention to herself.When she entered the restaurant, her lips tightened into a grimace. There were a few people scattered around in the dining area of the restaurant; some of them were couples, others eating or drinking by themselves. Not too much crowd as if it would have been if it was a Friday night but the nature of the reason she had come to the restaurant made her uncomfortable.The truth was she would have preferred she was not se

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.

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.

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

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

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."
