CHAPTER 49ROSEShe tried getting away from where she was just so, she could be call but it was to no avail as he didn't call back immediately, soon after she had made effort to get away her phone rung again.By now, she was at the car getting ready to leave —With her stomach rumbling due to the nerves that had settled in there, she dropped all the shopping bags onto the back seat and picked up her phone that had suddenly begun to ring from the car seat that was next to the driver seat. Even without checking the caller ID, she already knew it had to be Daniel calling. She had been anticipating the call the moment she had been debited for the five Christian Dior bags that she had bought, these were things she most definitely didn't need.Taking a sweaty lock of hair away from her forehead, she checked the caller ID and saw that it was indeed Daniel that was calling“Told you he was going to call." She called out at Anna that was still right there waiting, Anna smiles sheepishly. “Yo
DANIELAfter dinner, I watched as Rose smiled at the journalist before leaving the dinner table with the plates she could carry. She must have wanted to also give me time to talk to him while I walked him to the door. We left the dinner table also and walked towards the front door, the driver was already waiting outside when we got there. "Thank you for inviting us to dinner too and for the useful piece of information you gave us" The journalist said with a smile. I returned the smile as we shook hands, "It was a pleasure, I do hope that you would give us a good report about being a good couple when the article comes out" "Of course Daniel, I will not disappoint you, Thank Rose again for having us over, we will take our leave now" The journalist said before finally leaving for the car. I stood there and watched them till the car was no longer in sight before going back into the house. I saw that Rose had come back from the other plates and had cleared the table, she must have fin
ROSERose was beginning to feel a little awkward. She had no idea what was wrong with her and she hoped it really wasn’t what she thought. She was quite worried at the thought of her being pregnant. Even though she tried to get it off her mind and believe she was overthinking, she knew she certainly wasn't.No matter how hard she struggled with the thoughts, it ended up winning and clouding my mind instead, leaving her with what ifs and why should.Occasionally, she would walk to the mirror and check for any little bump with a microscopic view as she stared deep into the mirror. She would check for any little sign or any little push, perhaps.Going to the hospital would give her the answer she needed but maybe she didn’t need it yet! She couldn’t deal with all that, considering all that was going on.With each day that passed by, she seemed and felt a little weaker. It could probably be her thoughts but it had begun to affect her body and somehow, her ability and agility to do tasks e
ROSEAt the moment, we were in the waiting room awaiting the result of the pregnancy test. I had made sure to keep my distance from Daniel, occasionally casting him a glance.He had his hands wrapped across his chest and had kept a straight face all the while. At one point, I couldn't help but imagine breaking into his head so I could know what he was thinking about.Shifting my gaze away, I focused my attention on the wall.“I hope it comes out negative.” I muttered and immediately, Daniel turned towards my direction. Squirming where I sat, I had my gaze to the ground, hoping he didn't hear my words.After what seemed like forever, the nurse who had conducted the test, appeared, holding an envelope. On seeing this, my heart beat increased as I tightened my grip on my seat.“The result is ready.” She said with a neutral expression, making me sign in frustration. I was hoping I would be able to read the result from her face.She pushed the result towards Daniel who immediately tore the
DANIELLivid with the turnout of events, I decided to step out for a moment to clear my head. After locking Rose up, giving her the instruction not to leave, I headed to the bar.Bottles after bottles littered the table, still yet, I wasn't sober. I wanted to forget my worries as soon as possible but they kept staring at me in the face and making a mockery of me.“Why will she do that?” I muttered, my mind centered on the possibility of Rose getting rid of the child. Shaking my head sideways, I balled my fists and then sent them into the table.“She wouldn't do that.” I muttered, shaking my head sideways. I was finding it hard to believe that Rose purposely got rid of my child.That night, it was a miracle that I was able to get home without getting involved in an accident.The following morning, I woke up with a splitting headache as the event of the previous day set it. Rubbing my forehead, I swung my feet off the bed and then groped my way into the bathroom.On my return, my mind qu
ROSE RIGHT there I was again at this same place that had started it all, I couldn't get my mind of the thrill that had followed the sequence of events after dinner that evening, presently I was pinned up against the wall by this same man I could literally listen to my heart beating at this point.I heaved heavily with my back against the wall thinking about the situation and how I got entangled in this—From the way he kissed down my neck to the feel of his hands over me I could tell everything simultaneously, it felt as though life itself was coming to a pause right there at the Middle of my legs. The feel of his hands in my hair, his cooing voice in my ears that caused waves of passion he whispered his instent, his passion and everthing he wanted to do that evening.It all started that evening after losing a bet , when he had whispered to my ears what my task would be that evening for losing, initially in had laughed it out to thinking it was a joke l, I had thought about the dead
READER'S POVShe woke up with a bit of a start that next morning all she thought about was the previous night and how it felt within her Soul, the fact remained that she couldn't bring herself to hate the man no matter how much she tried to, it just seemed out of the ordinary, something impossible.She should end this madness now. She should turn around and leave as far away from him as she could, she saw the need to do that but still couldn't, perhaps she was enjoying this as much as he did.She hears soft murmurs from inside, then the rattling of her straps, he was right towering over her with a smug on his faceShe’s come all this way, and there’s no point in backing down now.Soon after he was done he steps back outside, a cream-colored drink in his hands —“Go take a shower,” he grunts.He says it like a slur, as she walks away furious.She was out of the cold showers In a jivy, shedresses quickly that morning, throwing on a pair of fitted jeans and a jacket.She walked to her
ROSE“You can't just sit back and do nothing. “Anna had been hammering on my need to fix all of the problems at the moment, in a way she felt disgusted after what I had shared to her.Truth be told I hated the possibility of being wrong as well, it was a bit ridiculous all of this that was happening at the moment, at some point I felt that she was coming on a bit more stronger than she had intended.“Are you even on the pill?"The truth of what she just said to me and I wondered how right she was about all of this. I wondered if one of these days I was going into her pregnancy and in a disturbing way kind of hoped that I did.Perhaps, a part of my soul wanted an irrevocable tie to all that was happening, or maybe I saw it as a way that would make him desire me again just like it should be …I wanted to carry his child and at the same time to do all kinds of fucked-up shit so he'd knew he was mine.She looked straight at me and it felt like she could read my mind, she had just fini
