DON’T TOUCH HER! SHE’S MY WIFE 58
ROSEA week later…Yawning tiredly, I fluttered my eyes open, my hand above my head as I stretched my aching body. I had just woken up from an eight hour sleep, yet I was feeling so tired and drained of all my energy.Sunlight streamed into the room, leaving it with rays of its energy for a minute, I was stalled right there at a spot looking around.All the images of this that had happened this week came rushing through my mind and the only option left for me that moment was to let myself fall away from the bed and head into everything I had planned for the rest of the day.Swinging my feet off the bed, I made my way towards the bathroom to clean up and when I was done I returned to my bed.For a moment, I remained in the same position, staring at the hard wall. Different ideas were running through my head at the same time, it wasn't as if I was thinking about anything in particular.Rubbing my nape, I yawned again and it was accompanied by my rumbling stomach which reminded me that I

ROSE“I'm sorry,I really didn't mean to barge into your room like that.” I rapped, my eyes to the ground as I feared the worst.When he still didn't give a response, I raised my head slowly, “Your friend is in the living room.” I muttered. Cleaning my eyes with both hands, I was shocked to see the room was empty and there was no sign of life in it. “But…” Gulping, I left his room and then returned to the living room to join Maurice.On my return, I met him scrolling through his phone with his legs crossed. Clearing my throat to get his attention, I walked up to him and with my hands folded across my chest, I said, “I’m sorry for keeping you waiting. I forgot that he left so early this morning.” “Early? Where did he go then? I have been to the office and he is nowhere to be found. Do you have any idea?” He asked, staring at me.“I don't. Why don't you try calling him?” I suggested and he gave me a thumbs up. Now sitting on the couch opposite him, I pulled my legs to myself as I aw

READER'S POVDaniel had just returned from the conference he attended that morning and so he decided to drop by his office. As if on a cue, Maurice pulled up beside his car and then climbed out too.“Hey, you're just coming?” He asked“Yeah. What about you?” Daniel asked, looking him over. Pushing his hands into his pocket, he began to head towards the building with Maurice trailing beside him.“I had to drop Rose off at her friend's home.” Maurice replied, not knowing the effect his response was going to have on Daniel.Tightening his jaw, Daniel kept a straight face, though he was boiling on the inside.Jealousy mixed with anger were the two emotions that were threatening to tear him apart. To make matters worse, Maurice wouldn't stop talking about how Rose looked sad and ill.Having heard enough from him, Daniel stopped walking abruptly and with his gaze now fixed on Maurice who was staring right back at him, he asked, “Did she complain to you?”“No, I was just assuming and I bet I

READER'S POVAfter assisting her in arranging her belongings, Anna invited Rose to the living room for a little chit chat. She wanted to know their next line of action, she too was tired of the constant fight between Rose and Daniel.“You mean he allowed you to leave with your luggages in the middle of the night?” Anna started the conversation with a raised brow.“Yeah, he even offered to assist in riding me to my new home. Though, I felt it was the effect of the alcohol he had consumed.” Rose replied with a shrug, pushing her hair behind her ears.“Really? Dammit! That man is sick.” Pursuing her lips, she began to twirl her hair in between her fingers as she thought of what to say next.“You mean you two quarreled because of his ex-girlfriend?”“Yeah. It wasn't supposed to end in a quarrel, I only intended to know who she was and what relationship she shared but he wouldn't say. He told me to my face that it was none of my business.”“But when it was your turn, what did he do?” She s

ROSEA week later… His invitation was sudden. It wasn't as if I was interested in attending the reunion with him. Racking my head, I tried to come up with the perfect excuse to say but my head was blank. For the next few minutes that followed, I was alternating my gaze from the wall to the floor, making sure I didn't share any eye contact with him. I was still scared of him and if he had observed carefully, he would know. “What? Are you heading somewhere tomorrow.” He asked but in my haste I shook my head in the negative instead of nodding. “Then what’s the issue? It's fine if you don't want to go with me though, but on a serious note, I need you company. My colleagues are going to be in attendance with their wives and I don't want to be left out.” He said and almost immediately my mouth dropped open. This time around, I continued staring at him, not bothering to take my eyes off him even for a minute. A few minutes ago, I thought he had repented for real but that wasn't the case

ROSE“I…” I swallowed my words when someone called out to him and slowly, I lowered myself on my seat. As expected, Maurice was giving me a pitiful look which I hated. Grabbing my glass of wine more tightly, I wanted to throw the content on his face but I held back, wishing he would just grab the hint that I was not interested in any games he was playing. “Hey, Rose, say hi to Ryan Millie, he is the mayor's son.” Daniel said, cutting through my line of thoughts. Forcing a smile, I raised my head and then exchanged greetings with the so-called mayor's son. I wasn't interested in meeting with anyone. All I needed was to leave this party as soon as possible. At this point, I don't mind staying in the bathroom, at least, I will be away from everything. “You look pale, is anything the matter?” Ryan asked with a look of concern on his face as he leaned towards me. The strong cologne he was wearing hit my nostrils and I had to grab my chest so I wouldn't puke on his face. “She's ill.”

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. 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.

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

The smile was there when the bartender had walked to where I was , while still thinking of what t
