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. She proceeded to have her bath and she came out tying a towel on her body.She sat in front of
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
DANIELIt felt like forever, at that minute I was standing right there with her right in front of where I was, at the moment my first thought had been thatEvery time I saw her, my blood burned hotter, searing a possessiveness into my chest, these were feelings I thought had receded till this very moment again —All I could feel was that familiar thudding in my heart, there was no way for me to stop it at that moment as it looked to sink deeper and deeper into my subconscious mind.Still I couldn't believe at that one moment that I blew everything and was now standing right here in the middle of it all like a fool.Even afterwards that she had walked away I was still a bit furious as I stomped into the room.Maurice walked in with me. “How in the hell did I miss all of that , how was I silly to let her go , I paraded the room feeling angered.“Take it easy."“Take what,?" I was a bit agitated.“You think I'd let her leave that way, I am calling someone to trackher."He was able to rea
READER'S POVShe was confused, three times in a row had she gotten the same gift and it was making her uncomfortable, with the entire feeling taking a toll on her mental health she decided to push it and concentrate instead on a more thrilling issue that was on ground.She was presently at the new building with her friend Anna both discussing to details everything that had happened.The interior decorator had been running late and it was only when they were about to give up and leave that she had walked in.The long day ended with them taking a long stroll through the entire vicinity marking this and those places that were in need of new touches. By the time that they were done, she was so tired that she couldn't wait to leave.They made a few stops on their way home mostly to pick up In order, soon she was pushing her way through the door and kicking off her shoes as she made her way in .“And you say she denied it." Anna asked .“Bluntly. " She answered.She had been telling her abo
Daniel.She was still everywhere at the back of my mind, and it made it more difficult that she left some of her things around that I was seeing more frequently.Still I searched my way out of the madness that was consuming me deeply, at the moment I was in her old room looking around and filling my mind up with things that needed to go.It made more serious the fact that I had heard more things about her, it left a feeling that felt almost like betrayal.But do I deserve to be angry at her yet?A part of my mind made me seem more or less like a hypocrite, I was undeserving of her love no matter how hard i looked at it, at the same time the fact that she had lied to me as well as realizing there was more I needed to find out, like who else was lying.When she had left, she made certain that she didn't take with her anything bought by my money, it was all there— the bags, wigs and more.It smeared a feeling of bitterness in my soul enough that all I felt at that moment was anger, ange
READER’S POV It was all over now, he stared straight at him while signing the restraining order, the last few weeks she's been crazy right there at the back of her mind. She hadn't been expecting what he did, as a matter of fact she wanted something difficult from everything that had happened, if she had thought that it would be easy to make her mind clear of everything, it was false. Like a flash of lightning her mind went through everything again… She wanted it all gone, every single feeling of animosity she had toward him at the moment, it was seemingly more confusing at the moment. One week ago. She had been waiting for three straight hours. That afternoon she had been there to try to sign the document that was needed to start her business from the social council. All her mind was settled in getting In and getting out as fast as she could . The unlikely hood of that unwinded in the next minute when she saw the last person she wanted to see walk into the vicinity. It was
DANIELStunned, I continued staring at the dent on my car and soon I was blinking rapidly in a bid to clear my vision but the scene was still the same.“This can't be happening.” I muttered, trying hard to process what was in front of me but I couldn't.Suddenly, I felt blood rushing to my legs and at once, I took my hands off the window pane and then began to walk hurriedly out of the room.Seconds later, I was running with Estella trailing after me.“Don't try anything stupid.” She yelled, trying to beat my pace but I didn't give her the chance to do so. Rose had crossed the line and I was going to put her in her place.“Daniel.” Estella called. Halting at once, I swirled in her direction, causing her to bump into me. Seeing I had my gaze on her, she began to move backwards slowly with her lips slightly parted.“Mind your fucking business.” I snapped, shaking my fist in her face before I resumed walking hurriedly towards the door.Now standing in the garage, a few feet away from whe
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.

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
