ROSEI sighed in relief as I walked back to my room, my mind went back to how the previous minute had been and how close I was to blowing off everything while listening to Daniel rant forever about how I would have to fend off him now that my grandfather was gone.“Jackass!" I muttered out loud.Watching his entire reaction made me wonder if he was a man that I could find myself loving, the fact that he hadn’t hesitated to humiliate right there before Maurice.My teeth clenched as I took off my heels still feeling frustrated, or something was certain however and that was the fact that I wasn’t going to worship Daniel with the rest of the female population of this entire state.I could as well stand aside and watch as they line up for his attention—The thought was still filling up the corners of my mind when I heard my phone buzzing, still feeling agitated. I picked up and was quick to lash out at Maurice who had been the caller.I ran a hand across my hair still feeling that adrena
DANIELOn the way out of the apartment, I ignored that urge to go check on her right where she was in her room no matter how compelling it was.Maurice had insisted over and over about my injustice toward her but I was quick to use the Prescott men ain't weak , — Bit of excuse to defuse the entire situation.Still it was all I thought about the previous night enough that I was rolling out of my bed that afterglow.There was that need to clear my head before I exploded and it was becoming more intense with every new passing day with the Woman.The fact was love and Prescott's didn't mix, no matters to how much I tried it was just an emotion that left this angry gaze on the back of my head, to make matter worse each time I stared deep into Rose's eyes all I saw were her grandfather's coercion, his imperfections —The house was filled with stone-cold silence as I returned from my run dripping with sweat. Before I stepped out the door, I glanced back at the parking lot at the strange c
ROSE POVThe alarm rung as I woke up with a start, Wide awake, with all my synapses still firing from the previous night I tried concentrating my mind on what I had planned for the day—I texted Amy to remind her about our meeting later that evening, after what seemed like a while of going through my phone I dragged my feet to the bathroom.Soon as the hot shower water sliced down my skin, I thought about Daniel and why he was always the way he was. Could it have been something from his past or the fact that he hated the entire guts of me?Not being able to come up with anything I let an unpleasant weight pull on my chest. I turned down the shower and walked out of the shower, drying myself off.In a restless daze, I combed my wet hair while taking another look at myself in the mirror. I closed my eyes, in a way wishing I could only switch off a part of my mind and everything would be gone.When I opened them, I still felt it—I could still feel that strange feeling that had always be
DANIEL POVWalking through the hallway I made my way out of the work premises, it has been an hectic day that had me thinking for most of it. My phone buzzed and right there was the last thing I was expecting to see on Instagram.“What!”A picture of Maurice and Rose was all over the internet and that wasn't what I was so and so mad about, I was mad at the fact that she was all smiles.It felt absurd, reluctantly I was putting a call through to Rose.“Where the hell are you?" I started immediately and she picked up her phone.“I don't understand, why are you asking?"“Can, see your pictures here and you are flaunting yourself over the internet, all smiles have you forgotten you are married?"At that moment, my heart was filled with an anonymous feeling enough that I found myself with that need to channel out the strange feeling I was having.“Are you jealous?” she asked abruptly.“Why would you, there is no way I would be fucking just get your ass home and keep flirting with my best
DANIEL POVShe smiled at me seductively as if I had just told her the sexiest thing in the world. Then I wrapped my arm around her waist and drew her close to inhale her intoxicating perfume.“Alright,” she whispered, her teeth softly dragging the lobe of my ear in a way that made my dick to become very hard.It was crazy though, that as aroused as I was, I was still thinking about another woman. It made me angry. It made me desperate enough to do something …anything to rid her from my mind, from my head. It was absurd that this sexy woman was in front of me, touching me this way, looking at me as if I was the only man she had ever wanted and still, I could not stop thinking about Rose.“Good,” I said back, managing to smile back and then took my keys off the table and put it in my pocket.The woman, whose name I did not give damn about, wriggled her hips in front of me as we walked out of rhr hip. She was wearing a long red gown that hugged her luscious curves like a second skin an
ROSEThere was no sorry, no apologies none of that, just two people who were self absorbed in the sole called ego finding it hard to let go of what was in the past, didn't know how to react to what was being said so all I did was remain quiet, I could sense every bit of hesitation coming from him like he had more to Say.Still at that very seconds that fleeted away, if there was anything obvious, it was the hint behind his eyes that he would give anything to have me give full attention to him, it pointed out to just one thing at the moment and that was fact that if anything was missing to make out relationship make spicy than it should, it was definitely communication.What the hell do all men want!The situation was confusing, even after he had walked away I was left there at the same spot that I had been thinking about everything right from the onset and wondering the effect it had on my mindset at that same moment.Twenty minutes had passed since I arrived home, I walked to the ro
ROSE"What?? Are you sure of what you're saying?" Maurice asked"Of course I'm sure of what I'm saying. I even have evidence to prove that he cheated. The bitch he cheated on me with obviously doesn't know how to kiss because she got her lipstick marks all over his fucking shirt," I said, tears pouring down from my face."I'm sorry, girl. Do you want me to come over? I could jump into my car and ride over there right now if you want me to," Maurice said to me.I could hear the concern in his voice. I didn't want to trouble him so I said,"That won't be necessary. I'll go to bed now and we'll probably see in the morning or something.""Are you sure you don't want me to come over?" Maurice asked to be sure."Of course," I replied."Okay. If you say so, please don't let this issue weigh you down more than it should. Don't give Daniel the chance to know that he hurt you. Try to forget about it even though I know it's not easy," Maurice said in a comforting way."Thank you Maurice," I ackn
Rose's POVTo be honest, I don't know what to make out of Amy's words but notwithstanding, I decided to give her a listening ear. Ignoring her was going to be the one of the worst, in fact, my greatest mistake.After rubbing my sweaty palm against my dress, I began to tug on it as I awaited her to start speaking. When it seemed she didn't want to say anything, I cleared my throat to get her attention.“Hey, you're there?” I asked, my brows scrunched.“Yeah. I was waiting for your response.” She replied and I sighed.“About taming Daniel, what are you suggesting?” I asked to keep the conversation going.“It's hard and easy at the same time. Like I said earlier, he is dangerous, his looks and actions say it all, so it would be hard to tame but with my award winning tips, trust me, it would be easy.” She said and I scoffed.“Can you be serious for once? I'm getting tired already.” I groaned, rubbing my forehead. “Moreover, I doubt you know who you're talking about.” I muttered under my b
