The intimacy

Daniel's point of views :A short moment of eye contact and then that small smile on face.That's OUR intimacy.Just moments like these have become the most favourite part of my day.I don't take them as hints. Absolutely not!My heart is no longer looking for meaning in those gesturesI am just grateful for them.I don't know if I still have a chance with her or not. Honestly, I am not expecting one either.Her forgiveness is enough for me.Just loving this new change in our bond."The driver would drop you to college" I told her."Thanks," she said with a smile.With that my eyes were only on her as she stood up for leaving. Take care rose. God! I would miss you.LATER THE EVENING :Rose rushed inside the room straight as soon she was back.What's the hurry? I wondered.In about ten minutes, she walked out of the bedroom dressed in a red mini full sleeves dress.Where is she going?It will soon be dark. It's not safe, especially considering the circumstances we are dealing with."

FAILED?

Daniel's point of views :We failed?I was stunned on my spot.The grief is so strong that it has shook all of us. We thought we had it all in our control. We thought we had saved her.But we were SO WRONG!Another murder.We failed her.Sorrow pierced me to the core.With a heavy sigh, chase said in low voice"He managed to get Stella. By the time we reached her place, it was... too late." "Not just the basta*d brutally murdered her but he also challenged us leaving this message for us" chase added.Message?Swallowing, I peeked my head up to look at the white screen in front of me and as soon I did that my hand fisted into a ball and muscles went rigid.I could feel my breathing getting excessive.It showed words written on the wall with blood that said "You are right! Rose is next" It felt like someone had pushed me off the cliff and the sinking sensation followed by the hollow feeling.I was aware my face was turning cold, I probably looked like a pale white ghost.I am scared.

comfort

Rose's point of views :The serene quiteness made no difference to my thumping heartbeats.As we walked together,My mind was still trying to absorb what just happened back then.Ominous thoughts filled my mind likeWho was he? How long will this continue? I hate to feel so vulnerable everytime."Don't worry. You are safe now" I heard James saying.I exhaled a deep breath and just gave a nodI don't have much to say.Daniel should have been with me by my side.I couldn't help vex about that too.Where did he go all of sudden?"This area is clearly not a safe place. You should have at least called your husband to pick you up from the club" he said then in his evident British accent."How did you know about the club?" Jessy asked immediately"I guessed it seeing the attires" he replied back.Okay.."Um, my husband did insist but I refused him" I replied back softly."Thank god that you were there" Jessy said."Yeah" We bid bye to James as we reached out building On walking upstairs

Why me?

Rose's point of views :And then he told me everything...How he was appointed for this mission to find the mysterious murderer that has been brutally murdering women since months.How they found out that I was one of his targets and that he was chosen for my protection.Frankly, I was scared. Infact, I was terrified when he told me about Stella's murder.I couldn't help but wonder How sick could one be to do something so brutal!How could someone be so inhuman?Only a sheer devil would do something so sinful.Heaving out a sigh,"Why did you have the knife that day? Did it belong to the murderer?" I asked him.He nodded back and replied back "We had confiscated that knife from the spot on the night when we saved Stella earlier""And that night, I heard you stopping someone to burn someone alive. Um, what was that?" I couldn't refrain from asking."That was just another criminal we caught the night before. My colleague loses his cool easily but nothing of the sort happened" he replie

What changed?

Rose's point of views :"Damn! Will you please get out of your Dreamland, rose! It's getting annoyed now. What has gotten inside you?" I heard Jessy's complaining voice."It's nothing" I said softly and couldn't hide the smile I still have from the last night."Seriously? What changed overnight? The last time I saw you, you were this grumpy and worried young woman and now, you have this irritating goofy smile plastered on your face even while staring at this stained white wall" she exasperated.I looked back puzzled.Is it?I couldn't even tell."It's something related to Daniel, right?" She asked then with folded arms staring right back at me.I could feel my cheeks getting hot, reminiscing about our conversation last night.Of course, mostly the end part of that."We just had some talks." I replied softly "OH MY GOSH! Did you tell him you wanna give your relationship a second chance? What did he say then? How did he react? Tell me. Tell me everything!" She asked back enthusiastical

A picture

Rose's point of views :Almost running downstairs, I found Jessy talking to James.Just when James looked past Jessy towards me and then waved at me with his characteristic smirk smile "Hey" He suddenly raised his camera and clicked a picture of me making me momentarily startled on my spot.I had to blink a couple of times to regain back my composure" It's rude to click picture of someone without the permission. Please delete it." I told him straightaway."Come on! Just one picture" he said with a pout."I need pictures of every beautiful thing in this city. You are one of them" he added then.My eyes simply widened as i stared back lost for words now.He added " I am sorry. My bad! That was too cliche!""Remember when she said that she is married, she was actually serious that time, James" Jessy intervened.She sounded upset though."Oh...okay. I was just kidding" he said with a titter laugh which we reciprocated."It's okay but please delete my picture. I really don't like it" I

BEWARE!The POLICE MAINTAINS SILENCE ON THE MATTER!The headlines of every newspaper screamed the same thing.Things really has got out of hand after Stella's murder.Citizen's faith in us are shaken. Their rage is justified.Sighing,Disappointment can't even begin to explain what i feel inside about the whole thing.For the first time in my life, I am dissatisfied with my work.

Rose's point of views : It's been two days since I shifted back to this house. Things have been pretty smooth thankfully.Daniel hasn't left the house since then but he has been busy, more busy than ever. I have least seen him in the last two days.He only comes out for food but hardly talks.Knocking on his room's door, When I turned the knob,My mouth fell so fast i wondered why didn't I feel the touch of cold floor.Oh dear god..His room was a mess.There were piles of files on his desk.Pictures of possibly every victim on the walls and paper balls thrown down on the floors. The windows were shut. It was sheer darkness.It did not feel very homely standing here.Nothing like when I used to stay here and more like some secret investigation room.God!This is madness.The dim lights in the room already felt bothering. Finally noticing my presence,"What is it? Are you okay?" He asked in a soft voice, lacing concern.His eyes had bags. He looked like a mess himself, every bit of

He is here?

Two days later Rose's point of views :Late evening.Daniel has been out for the entire day today and still isn't home yet.Nothing uncanny has happened in the last few days that really makes me wonder what is the psychopath upto?Did he just give up? But...He wouldn't just give up, right? What is it then?With CCTV cameras in every corner and Lucy being there for me in the house, I wasn't worried for me.The only thought that was bothering me was Daniel's health. He has been over working since the last few days and often been skipping meals.I am grateful for all that he is doing for me and do appreciate his passion for his work and all his efforts too but the way he is neglecting himself in the process is just unacceptable. With a long sigh, Sitting up straight, I took out some magazines from the lower rack to distract myself for the time being when suddenly the TV got switched on, startling me on spot.Taking a moment to come out of the momentary shock, i looked around for the

The End?

Rose's point of views :When I fluttered open my eyes,Not very clearly though, but I noticed someone's presence standing at a distance in front of me.I choked on my tears.Just when......The doorbell rang.My breath ceased.Could it be Daniel?"Oh! Looks like the guy on the wheelchair is back, Rose. Wouldn't you welcome your dear husband? Come out sweetheart" I heard the creepy voice saying.My heart was thumping in my chest.Sweat pearls were dripping down my face. I could feel my breathing getting heavier.When Suddenly,The lights were switched on. The brimming brightness made me completely blind for seconds.When I opened my eyes, the figure I saw some time ago at a distance was gone now.He was nowhere to be seen.That made me even more anxious on my spot.I cannot stay hidden here now The second doorbell sound startled me.Who could it be?Is it a trap?I heard the door opening then."ROSE"It was Daniel's voice.He is home.I could hear the scrambling noise of Daniel's whe
