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
