DON’T TOUCH HER! SHE’S MY WIFE 38-A STITCH IN NINE
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

READER'S POVAll alone in his bedroom, Daniel thought hard. How did Rose know about it?

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.

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

ROSE'S POVIn pursuit of happiness…Knowing fully well that it was Daniel on the other side of the door, I propped myself up in readiness to accost him when he stepped in and immediately he walked through the door, I was quick to stop him. “Excuse me.” He said, trying to bypass me but I didn't let him. He continued trying only to give up when he saw I wouldn't let him be.“What do you want from me?” He snapped.“We need to talk.”“About what?”“Stop acting as if you have no idea about this.” Placing my hand on my hips and maintaining a strong gait, I resumed speaking, “About the company, are you going to consider my offer?”“Twenty percent shares? No.” He asked and he answered in a rush before he tried to brush past me but I held him back.“I’m not trying to be selfish here, that's why I asked for twenty percent. What if I had asked for thirty?” I scoffed. Daniel was making this very difficult for me.“I would have even declined if you asked for five percent.”“It's not as if I'm t

READER'S POVRose watched as Maurice Walked out of the room. Her eyes veered back to Daniel when they were now finally alone and she raised a questioning eyebrow."What do you want," she asked, watching Daniel walk closer to her.Daniel stopped in front of her and held her hands, it seemed to her as the most impossible gesture for her to make at that moment as her eyes battered as she blinked up at him in confusion, wondering about his sudden change in attitude.Just a second ago, he'd said hurtful things to her. She wanted to pull her hands away from his but decided not to."About earlier, I think we should leave everything behind and start afresh," Daniel said, looking into her eyes with sincerity.Rose frowned at him. Why was he saying this now?"Easy for you to say, you are not the one hurting from all of this," she said with a defiant tilt of her chin."Hurting? My God Rose, Why can't you see that I'm trying to put in efforts and all you are doing is undermining it . I know I h

DANIEL.I was let in soon enough by a man that had a tattoo right there at the side of his neck, nodding my head slightly I strolled right there into the darker part of the room, I could literally hear my heart beating faster.“Where is your boss?" I asked, looking around.I stood right there in the middle of the room, which had as many as five men seated around playing Poker.“Stupid move today, Daniel.” A man turned right there on the recliner chair that he was on with an arm resting on the back—“You are a hard man to find.” I flicked a glance toward him. “Did I ever tell you that?”As I spoke, I turned toward the only chair that was right there in the room as he rubbed a hand across his smile.“What do you want again?" He questioned. " I thought we were done with the entire scenario of having to follow her?” He asked again.“You assumed wrong,” I said dryly. “Yes, we found a bit of details about her but I need more, there is something about her that I can't seem to understan

ROSEI glanced at the clock. It was nearly midnight, but I knew the raging feelings inside would continue to drive me. On impulse, I reached for his lips and took him in mine.My breath caught in my throat. I was being so brazenly forward, especially for someone like Daniel who just made a misogynist remark at me.A tremor went through me at his skill of working the tongue, at the thought of his touch. Part of me longed for that contact. The wiser part knew I shouldn't allow it. And yet, I gave in to the temptation.His gentle fingers traced the raised ridge of my nape, sending tingles along my skin. Our faces were perilously close, his breath warm against my neck."Daniel..." I breathed his name like a prayer, leaning even closer. I could smell the sweet, manly scent of his hair.That was my last tether to sanity. Abandoned it, claiming his lips with a fierceness that surprised us both. Daniel made a muffled sound in the back of his throat but kissed me back with equal ardor, his ar

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.

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
