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.”

DANIEL It was barely three hours since she made away with my cousin and already I was starting to feel furious—"Where the fuck have you been?" I asked harshly, "How could she take my cousin away from my house without my consent, and then you leave me a fucking note without your where about!" I yelled at her "Uncle why are you yelling at me, you are scaring me" My cousin held the hem of my shirt as she whispered.I watched as Rose stood there not being able to meet my eyes, "Are you not going to make up an excuse?" I asked her again "I don't know what I want to say, I'm sorry that I took your cousin out of your house without telling you but she wanted to take a walk and I just did what she asked of me" She stammered as she spoke"You know better than to let a little girl make decisions for you Rose and you are just making flimsy excuses" I yelled at her."Should I have ignored your daughter's needs then? isn't my job to make her happy?" She suddenly raised her voice. I was shoc

ROSE The next morning left the simplest of charms in my heart, I had stretched on my bed and fluttered my eyes before opening them to another new day, in a way it felt awful waking up here at this same old place with Daniel lurking around but it didn't hinder the fact that I could see the beauty the day held .In a way it felt even harder trying to remind myself of why exactly I seemed to be in a better mood, still in the moment I stood in front of the window and pulled the blind aside enough to stare as the sunlight stretched across the sky.Beneath, was a woman — myself — Who was trying to understand what her complicated presence held, in my mind I was focused on the unpleasant.I was startled by a Knock which was becoming a frequent occurrence every morning.“Come in." I called out expecting to see Daniel as he had made it an irritating duty to be at my door each morning.Instead a trio of maids walked in one holding a tape rule. I was left dazed by the turning and measurements

ROSEA very weird dream, I got out of bed and tried to think about how the dream had gone in a way I was left feeling rather furious at the turn of events.I couldn't tell why it happened that way but still there was that look of satisfaction in his eyes that made the entire situation very difficult to handle.As it was all I could think about was his attitude of late, I wouldn't say I was exactly falling in love with him but still I was most certain his actions had been rather ridiculous, there was one thing I wanted to do at that moment and that was to get away from him.I had a substantial motive to immensely dislike him —The whys of it all didn’t matter.I had been gone all night thinking about the situation and how to get myself out of it , it wasn’t until I’d gotten back from my run that I had made up my mind completely to leave.I sat cross-legged on the couch, watching the news while sipping coffee, In a way I was still still dressed in my sweaty leggings and a top that I ha

READER'S POVThe intense rays of the sunlight shone on her face as she yawned on the bed lazily. Although she was awake, she didn’t stand up and she just maintained that position with her eyes shut.The sun was beginning to affect her eyes and she couldn’t take it anymore. She murmured in annoyance as she finally opened her eyes.She hissed loudly and finally sat down on the bed. She didn’t see the need to wake up that easily since she didn’t have anything to do. She had no plans throughout the day and she didn’t want to see anyone.She picked up her phone to check the time and it was a few minutes past eight and it turned out it wasn’t as early as she thought.She checked through the phone uninterestedly and she saw a lot of messages but she ignored them all. She threw the phone back on the bed and stood up to go and shower.She stood in front of the mirror and saw how pale her face looked.

ROSE POVAfter she said that word, I felt nothing but that feeling of silence filling me up from deep within,a crush or secret admirer?.I couldn't get myself to think about who it could be, much as I was still letting myself heal from the entire situation it still made it a bit difficult to get the thought of Daniel off my mind.As the room fell into eerily silence, I ran my mind through everything that was going on at that moment—In fact, the quiet seemed to eat at me the entire way in, starting from that tiny nibbling in my heart and finding it way right there to my soul, whatever this was it had the worse feeling of what could happen to anyone.And the worst thing about it was the fact that I still couldn't tell what all of this was about.The last thought that filled my mind before I let it explode through my lips was Daniel.“What if this is Daniel and he knows where I am, can you understand what I am talking about?"There was a piercing bit of panic in my voice as I spoke.I co

ROSE POVImmediately I stepped out of the cab, I hurried towards the elevator and then got in. Ignoring a co tenant, I sank into the wall, trying to steady my breathing but couldn't.“Are you alright?” The lady asked and I quickly nodded to avoid further questioning.“It's fine if you don't want to share but if it's something you can't handle all by yourself, you can always come to me.” She said and at that moment, the door gave way. Not bothering to give her a response, I stuttered out.Now standing in front of my door, I was searching for my card hurriedly. When I felt a strong gaze on me, I relaxed and then pulled it out.It turned out to be the same lady, this time around, I waved at her and then slipped into my house, slamming the door shut.With my back rested against the door, my eyes were tightly shut. At the moment, my heart was ramming against my chest in quick succession and my heavy breathing couldn't help matters.Holding on to my chest, I walked further into the living r

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?"
