CHAPTER 143Daniel pov I patiently waited outside to see Rose but she wasn't coming out. I felt like I was going to lose it. Soon, she came out of the house but immediately she saw me, she turned to go back inside but I was quick enough to catch up with her. “Rose please…let's talk” I grabbed her wrist “What is it?” She asked. Her eyes were devoid of the slightest emotion “Please, I want us to talk this time. I want us to sort…” “Can't you see it? There's nothing to sort out, not even the tiniest thing Daniel. I don't want to ever see you!” Her eyes widened like a wounded lion. I tightened my hand around her wrist, my heart kept racing like I was going to die any moment from now. "Rose, please just hear me out. I know I've made mistakes, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make things right between us. Let me make amends please"She angrily jerked her hand away from my grip, her eyes held nothing but pure hatred. "What do you think of me? A house
CHAPTER 144Daniel ' POV I called her best friend Anna over to the house. He was like the only person I could talk to about the things that were bothering me and the fight I had with my wife was really bothering me. While we were sitting at the dining table, sipping some wine, Anna asked me, "When you asked me to come.over, your voice sounded really urgent and I was scared something terrible must have happened. I come rushing down and you're looking a mess. What's the problem, my friend? I don't think I have ever seen you this way."I sighed deeply, before looking up to face my friend. "Anna, I think my marriage is about to be over," I replied. A confused look appeared on her face. "What do you mean by that? What is going on? Talk to me, Daniel," Anna said. "Rose and I had a terrible fight and that fight just puts our marriage on the edge. I don't know if we can recover from it. I'm so scared; I don't want to lose my wife.

Rose povI sat behind my sleek desk, completely emersed in the work I was doing on my laptop. My fingers moved swiftly as I directed my secretary about an upcoming meeting, my mind was wrapped around the work I was doing. The television in my office was on a medium volume and I could hear what was being said. The reporter was giving news on government-related stuff and honestly, none of that was my business. My eyes darted to the TV immediately I heard Daniel's name. He was going about his philanthropist behavior again and I scoffed “Yeah so that's all for today also, arrange a meeting with Mr. Alfredo,” I said and she nodded before leaving the office. Once my secretary left, the mention of Daniel lingered in my mind. Although I pretended not to be interested, his name stirred the emotions I'd been hiding with work. During our last meeting yesterday, how I left him outside and how much it hurt came rushing down on me. I suddenly felt my hands shaking willingly. *Flashb
CHAPTER 146READER'S POV Daniel refused to believe that his ex-wife, Rose, was pregnant. He wanted to believe that her best friend was just pulling his legs and nothing more but Rose kept on saying the same thing.“I would never lie about this Daniel…” She went on and on trying to convince him but she was interrupted by eager and confused Daniel.“But if she is, why is it that she did not tell me? I mean even though we have our differences I have the right to be aware of this.” Daniel explained. Now, with his fingers on his right hand invading the space on his head as he played with his hair trying to calm down.Rose nodded before she eventually spoke, “Remember what I said earlier? That I do not even want to speak with you or even see your face but I had no other choice but to shove my emotions away and do the needful by informing you. If my best friend is pissed and blinded by her emotions, I have to stand in the gap for her and do the needful. It is up to you to set things right.”
CHAPTER 147Rose’s hands clutched the steering wheel tightly as she navigated through the city streets with a sense of urgency. These past few months her pregnancy had been teeming with with complications, causing her frequent visits to the hospital. Today was one of those days, she was tired of having to always rush to the hospital but also scared of losing the child, her mind was filled with prayers as she hoped she wouldn't lose the baby. Without much thought, she whispered to herself “ I can't lose my baby too, oh God.”“You won't darling, I promise. Everything is going to be alright you'll see.” Anna, her best friend said as she squeezed her arms assuring her.“Now stop frowning, how about some music, good music is sure to take our mind off things.” She said in a cheery voice as she battled with the dial.Rose nodded, grateful for the distraction, she couldn't bear to think what she would have done if Anna hadn't been there for her.A small smile graced her lips as she managed t
