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
DANIELSince I returned from my fruitless search, I had been pacing around the living room, trying to gather my thoughts. I attest to the fact that I was mad at her but at this point, I couldn't help but be worried.If anything happens to Rose, no doubt I will also go down with her.Biting my bottom lips, I tossed my head aside, frustration gnawing in on me. I was already blaming myself for following the guards suggestion, if I had reported to the police, things would have been different.Rubbing my temple, I flopped on the couch only to stand up the next minute and then grope my way towards the kitchen.On my return, I didn't see the guard in the living room anymore, it was then my eyes fell on the door which was slightly opened. Curious to find out what the issue was, I pulled my feet towards the door, ensuring I didn't make any noise.Grabbing the handle, I pulled the door open, revealing the face of the guard who was holding someone.With my mind spiraling with different thoughts,
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
