The beginning

Flashback : One Month ago,"I refuse to marry him," Rose said firmly.But instead of getting riled up, Daniel just stared back at her with a stoic expression."Aren't you up to your neck in debt Miss Rose? My brother is in love with you. He is capable of not only keeping you happy but also giving a better life to your family. I suggest that you think over your decision one more time" said his brother.Her hand balled in a fist.Those words just infuriated her more because she is anything but one of those greedy, helpless and dependent girls who are waiting for their knight in shining armor to save them from their misery but before she could retort back, Daniel replied sternly instead."Mason, don't do that. It should entirely be her decision and I will completely respect it if she refuses to marry a handicapped person like me. But yes, I would like to state it clear for once that if Rose decides to marry me, I would definitely treat her family as my own." She just stared back at him

when?

Next day.Rose's point of view:Scene from the Dining area,As i headed out, "The breakfast is ready" I heard Daniel's voice getting me out of my daze."I am really getting late. I'd just grab something on the way." I reasoned out."Everything else can wait. Please eat. I would like to have a pretty company too for a change." He insisted in his sultry voice, staring right back at me.Pretty? Okay..I could feel my cheeks catching fire. I am not used to compliments hence it did feel weird or rather weirdly good precisely.I am sure my face has turned a lighter shade of red. Damn!At least the man knows to charm the woman with words.Letting out a sigh, I pulled out a chair for me to sit right next to him."Who made the breakfast?" I asked being curious."It's Lucy, our only maid. She has to attend her college too hence, she comes early to make breakfast and then attends her college and after college, she works here as helper till late evening." Daniel replied, digging in his breakfas

odd

Rose's point of view :The next day,On waking up, I was surprised to find myself alone in the bed. It's 8 in the morning and he wasn't back yet.As I walked out of the room, I heard some scrabbling noises from the kitchen. On Walking closer to an unfamiliar figure in my kitchen, I observed a blonde woman engulfed in scratching and rubbing something near the kitchen's sink."Hi, you must be Lucy, right? " I said standing behind her a few distance away. My voice made her stiff like a statue on her spot. She did not turn for a good few seconds. How can I not be suspicious then? Instead of acknowledging my presence, she is acting like a deer caught in the spotlight at the moment.Finally turning her head a little towards me, not completely, just slightly, she replied " Um hi. Yes, I am Lucy" of course i found it strange!"I did the dishes last night. So, what are you doing there?" I asked, curious as i tried peeking a little but couldn't see anything. Her body was covering the sink as

Scared

Rose Point of views :A kNIFE?With my eyes now wide opened, I felt myself frozen on my spot. My heartbeats echoed in my ears and my breath was hitched.Why does he have a knife in his suit pocket? I frowned."Are you okay?" Daniel asked in a calm voice yet it sent shivers down my spine.My mouth felt dry. On lifting my gaze to look at him, i noticed his narrowed gaze on me and thus quickly averting my eyes from him, I just looked down keeping a straight faceDid he figure out that I had seen it?What would I do if he did? But well, that can't be good.I swallowed hard, wishing I could just disappear in the air.Nodding in response, I somehow managed to stand up on my feet."I'd go get ready for college" I managed to say somehow in an audible voice.Excusing myself, I paced as fast as i could walking inside the bedroom.TWO HOURS LATER,In the lunch break,"A KNIFE?" Jessy asked back, clearly astonished to hear about it too."Yeah and could you please lower your voice. You are too lo

WHY?

Next Day.Rose's point of view :Scene from the college,"He lied? Really?" Jessy asked again puzzled."Yes" I simply said."So, you mean to say that he just simply refused to accept that he carries some unique kind of knife around with him." She said again."Yes. He said I might have mistaken a pen as a knife. Can you believe him?" I told her."Did you?" I heard her asking back immediately then."WHAT?" I was bewildered by her response."I am sorry but it could be a possibility. Why would he carry a knife with him?" She replied back with a frown.I narrowed my eyes on her and said "Not you at least." "Okay. I am sorry. I didn't mean to imply that you are lying. But maybe....uh, you are mistaken." She replied with hesitation."Yes because I am that dumb, right?" I told her in a louder voice with a glare."Oh, come on! You don't have to get offended" she whines."You know what I don't want to talk about my weirdo husband especially not with you anymore" I said and with that moved to w

Bad guy?

Rose's point of view :It's 3 am and I still cannot sleep. How can I sleep when I am sleeping next to a freaking creep! I couldn't help but think over his words over and over again.What could he mean by " You wouldn't want to know"Is he doing something dangerous? Something illegal?"I shouldn't have married this psycho" I whined inwardly."Calm down, Rose!" My mind screamed at me.Shutting my eyes tight and fisting my palm, I tried to calm myself but it didn't help me at all.Sighing, Maybe I am just over-thinking. Jessy could be right. He must be carrying the knife for his defense and maybe he is too shy or may be just ashamed to accept it.Yeah and that conversation, well, he must be just kidding! Yeah! That could be it. Honestly, I really need to take a break from the habit of over-analyzing things. It is really exhausting at times. I doubt everything, even my own doubts. He isn't that bad. He didn't force me into this marriage. He is giving me my needed space. He is also hel

Change of heart?

New Day.Rose's point of views:Scene from the college,Walking towards the table with our food tray in hands, I turned to look at Jessy only to find her staring back at me intensely."Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked her with a raised eyebrow"Like what?" She asked with a raised eyebrow."Like I have got horns on my head" I replied being annoyed and she just rolled her eyes at my comment."I am just curious." She replied with a shrug."About what?" I asked back."You did not mention a word about Daniel today. Is Everything finally okay in your life?" She asked back."Aren't you intringed?" I told her. "Can you blame me? Usually life after marriage is mostly all about romance for some but in your case my friend, it's a thriller-mystery.How ironically true that is!Sighing, I finally told her " Yes. Everything is fine." I cannot risk telling her for two reasons. Either she wouldn't believe me and would call it rubbish that would kind of discourage me to go against Danie

The first step

Next day,Rose's point of view :Walking out of the room, I heard Daniel talking on the phone with someone.He looked quite serious."Patience is power my friend. Don't worry about it. Yes, I will be there" i heard him saying in a stiff tone.On noticing my presence, he was smartly cut the call"Good morning" he said smiling back at me then."Don't mind Daniel but you don't sound like a scientist on the phone" I told him quite bluntly.His change in the expressions said he clearly understood what I meant."Really? What do I sound like then?" He teased "Like some skeptical character of the book" I told him.A light laugh eluded his lips."Well, I am glad that at least something about me makes you curious, " he replied."Honestly, a lot of things about you makes me curious" I said straight away, meeting his oceanic blue eyes."Well, um, anyways do you need a ride to college?" He asked.Clearly, he doesn't want to talk about it anymore hence diverting the issue."No, I'd manage." I said

New Day

NEXT MORNING Rose's point of view: Scene from the dining area,"So, do you have plans to surprise me yet again today?" He asked after taking a sip from his coffee.With a playful smile, I leaned a little towards him and replied "Do you want me to?" His eyes crinkled. Shaking his head in a clear no he replied back in a strict tone like a parent "I want you to go straight to college today. No more bunking" I simply nodded like an obedient kid.He turned to leave pressing a button on his wheelchair while I just watched him leaving.It was pointless to stalk him today. Clearly, he is on high alert mode ''Sighing, I was about to leave for college when the phone rang.It was Jessy."Hi. I was just about to leave for college. What's so urgent?" Rose asked her."College is cancelled today, Rose. We are all now leaving for the funeral" she said in low voice and a gasp escaped my mouth out of shock.Funeral?I froze on my spot."Whose funeral?" I asked her back in a barely audible voice.

lie?

Rose's point of view:The next morning when I woke up, I heard the sound of a running shower in the bathroom.I guess Daniel is back. I looked up at the wall clock. It was past 9 in the morning. I decided to go and make breakfast ready until then.AN HOUR LATER,"Hmm, nice coffee! " Daniel said after taking a sip of his coffee while I just smiled back in response. Picking up his phone, he started scrolling through his phone when I asked him straight away"Where did you go last night?"I observed his posture stiffened as soon as I asked him that. He just stared straight without blinking at first and then he slowly turned to look at me with a stoic expression that soon turned into a puzzled one in a blink.Meeting my eyes, he replied back with an expression like I said something absurd "Me? What are you saying? I did not go anywhere""Really?" I asked him back with knitted eyebrows and he just gave a confident nod."You were not by my side when I woke up in the middle of the night." I
