CHAPTER THREE
ROSE POVThe morning light in the room coaxes me from my sleep. I groan in frustration as I lose what I was dreaming about.Slowly my eyes flutter open and as soon as they do, the events of last night bombard my brain. I had left the hospital angrily and hit an unknown Club last night so right now my head is aching and I can’t even remember how I got home.I got up into a sitting position, and just then Amy came in screaming at me jumping happily like she just got elected as the president of the country.“Hey!” I replied coldly and lay down.“Common, don't give me that. I’m sorry I declined your calls but I was getting smashed by hot pickles and honestly I only got to read your text yesterday. And I rushed here like a winded cat. How’s grandpa?” She sat close to me but her hands dramatically went over her nose.“Fuck! You reek so bad. You went clubbing at papa's condition?” She whispered, and I rolled my eyes.“He’s dying but marrying me off to a stranger” I scoffed.“Babe, I’m so happy for you. At Least you have a father that cares about you even on sick bed.”“I already signed the document and obviously it’s happening on Saturday” I groaned.“And that’s why I’m here. We are going on a shopping spree and also…” She stood up and turned around happily.“We are having a girls night. Atleast enjoy one more night of being single before that rich billionaire gets to fuck you.” She giggled happily.“Fuvk me? I hope he will be willingly to fuck a virgin as a sex freak” I rolled my eyes.Her face dropped on hearing that.“Sex freak?” She questioned.“I’m getting married to Daniel Prescott” I announced, and she gasped.“O…M…G. Rose!!!! Daniel Pres…cott?. His dick won’t even fit into those tiny holes of yours” She whispered.“Very funny” I hissed with an eye roll.She sat down close to me again, still surprised and shocked.“I’m serious?”“Oh! And here we are, talking about my future husband dick. Is that even proper?”“Sorry to say this but it’s a public thing” She shrugged.“You’ve fucked him. Isn’t it?” I questioned.“Of course not!!!. He’s too domineering and I can’t deal with it and obviously not his type but Rose that’s not the point. Are you really agreeing to this?” She asked, with a concerned look on her face.“Grandpa knows best” I shrugged.“You signed those papers already?” She asked.“Yeah,” I replied bluntly.“Then let's do this. Mrs. Prescott. Trust me! Daniel can be a big jerk but I’ve heard good things about him too. His jaws would dropped to the floor when he knows the kind of woman he is getting married to”“What kind of woman am I?” I sit up again, supporting my back with the pillowcase.“Rose, you are every man’s dream and I can’t believe a jerk like him will end up with the most reserved, respectable and talented woman I’ve ever known. You are a genius baby girl.” I smiled.“Really?”“Yeah and that’s why you are going to get up now, get dressed and let have fun today against tomorrow”“It’s tomorrow?” I asked, amused.“What are you talking about?. I saw uncle downstairs and he suggested this whole shopping thing” She giggled happily.“Grandpa?” My face lit up instantly.“Yeah…he was with some company and they seemed to be talking about the whole wedding thing. I thought it’s a small wedding not until I found out who your husband to be is from you”“Fuvk sake!”“Stop cussing and get dressed before he sweeps you off your feet tomorrow” She replied, sarcastically.“My hangover”“Dress up, I will prepare something to help that.” She kissed my cheek and walked out of my room.I smiled.At Least I have a friend like her and I won’t be left alone after marriage.But what, did she just call my husband dick “Public??”“Watch that mouth of yours!!!” I screamed.I managed to get out of the bed."Aggh" I groaned in pain.I stood up angrily and walked to my bathroom to get dressed for whatever Amy had in mind for me.It took me like an hour to get dressed and I settled for a plain red dress that revealed my curvy ass and then I settled for a cute flip flop and packed my hair into a high ponytail.“And here comes the bride.” Amy announced, as she sighted me coming down the staircase.“Common don’t be dramatic. I rolled my eyes, and walked towards grandpa to hug him in his wheelchair.“I raised you better than drinking and being brought home by a stranger. What if someone found out your real identity?” Grandpa said, and he sounded pissed off.“I…” I stuttered, and turned to Amy. She shrugged innocently.“Oh come on. I was discharged yesterday and was scared something bad must have happened to you” He concluded.“I’m not a kid and I’ve you forgotten I learnt taekwondo?” I joked.“You need to be a responsible wife,” he added.“Grandpa!!”“Your hangover tea is ready” Amy interrupts, she’s just trying to bail me out and I appreciate that.“But, why are we keeping my family wealth a secret?” I questioned.“It’s not a secret,” He answered.“But…”“His family knows except for him and that’s for a reason. You are going to be his biggest supporter and that keeping you safe is the reward” He spats out, and before I could argue further he ordered his guard to push his wheel again.“Always running” I rolled my eyes.“Common, chill out. Daniel Prescott is your husband to be, why are you getting yourself worked out” She pulled my hands, and walked me to the dining room.After having breakfast in the morning with Amy we head out to the mall.“MY BESTIE IS GETTING MARRIED TO DANILE PRESCOTT!!!!” She screamed out of the mall, and I was full time embarrassed that I pretended to not know her till we got to the car.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
