DON’T TOUCH HER! SHE’S MY WIFE 61
READER'S POVAfter assisting her in arranging her belongings, Anna invited Rose to the living room for a little chit chat. She wanted to know their next line of action, she too was tired of the constant fight between Rose and Daniel.“You mean he allowed you to leave with your luggages in the middle of the night?” Anna started the conversation with a raised brow.“Yeah, he even offered to assist in riding me to my new home. Though, I felt it was the effect of the alcohol he had consumed.” Rose replied with a shrug, pushing her hair behind her ears.“Really? Dammit! That man is sick.” Pursuing her lips, she began to twirl her hair in between her fingers as she thought of what to say next.“You mean you two quarreled because of his ex-girlfriend?”“Yeah. It wasn't supposed to end in a quarrel, I only intended to know who she was and what relationship she shared but he wouldn't say. He told me to my face that it was none of my business.”“But when it was your turn, what did he do?” She s

ROSEA week later… His invitation was sudden. It wasn't as if I was interested in attending the reunion with him. Racking my head, I tried to come up with the perfect excuse to say but my head was blank. For the next few minutes that followed, I was alternating my gaze from the wall to the floor, making sure I didn't share any eye contact with him. I was still scared of him and if he had observed carefully, he would know. “What? Are you heading somewhere tomorrow.” He asked but in my haste I shook my head in the negative instead of nodding. “Then what’s the issue? It's fine if you don't want to go with me though, but on a serious note, I need you company. My colleagues are going to be in attendance with their wives and I don't want to be left out.” He said and almost immediately my mouth dropped open. This time around, I continued staring at him, not bothering to take my eyes off him even for a minute. A few minutes ago, I thought he had repented for real but that wasn't the case

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
