DON’T TOUCH HER! SHE’S MY WIFE 38-A STITCH IN NINE
ROSEI let out a sigh of relief when the door opened, revealing a maid instead of Daniel or his assistant. My heart was still pounding from the close call, the stolen paperwork tucked securely into the back of my pants. I had to think quickly."Are you alright, miss?" the maid asked, concern etched across her face."Yes, yes, I'm fine," I lied, forcing a smile. "Just feeling a bit lightheaded after my fainting spell earlier."She nodded sympathetically. "Mr. Prescott sent me to check on you. He was quite worried when you collapsed."Feigning nonchalance, I waved my hand dismissively. "That's kind of him, but I'll be just fine. You can tell him not to trouble himself any further."The maid hesitated, clearly unsure if she should leave me alone after the dramatic events. Pressing on, my tone grew firmer yet polite. "Really, I insist. I just need some rest, that's all."Finally, she acquiesced with a reluctant nod. "Very well, miss. I'll let Mr. Prescott know."As soon as she left, closi
DON’T TOUCH HER! SHE’S MY WIFE 39-BEATING THE DEVIL AT HIS GAME
READER'S POVDaniel barged into his office with the same amount of force that would bring down a grown man in a boxing ring.He could smell that there was something fishy in the air but he just couldn’t guess what it was.Rose was hiding something, that much was clear. It didn’t matter how innocent she thought she looked, he could feel it in his bones that there was something she was doing her best to cover, the problem was that he didn’t know what.He let out a frustrated sound from the back of his throat. He knew he wasn’t crazy and he knew he should watch the footage but he felt that there wasn’t going to be anything concrete there for him to find.Rose had been a little too nonchalant about letting him check the footage.Whatever she was hiding, she had probably gotten rid of it, so he knew that was a complete waste of the time.He rounded his desk and sat plopped down on his desk chair and began to tap his fingers impatiently on the table, trying to come up with a way to pin ri

DON’T TOUCH HER! SHE’S MY WIFE 41
CHAPTER 41READER'S POVRose came down from her car and looked around. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the parking lot was empty save a few cars and there were no people lurking around.She put her keys in her bag, put on her sunglasses and drew her hat closer to her face. She made sure that nobody was walking around in front of the restaurant whose red brick walls made it seem as if it was built in the sixties before walking to the front door. She nodded at the man tending to the front door, not saying a word so that she wouldn't draw attention to herself.When she entered the restaurant, her lips tightened into a grimace. There were a few people scattered around in the dining area of the restaurant; some of them were couples, others eating or drinking by themselves. Not too much crowd as if it would have been if it was a Friday night but the nature of the reason she had come to the restaurant made her uncomfortable.The truth was she would have preferred she was not se

ROSE'S POVIn pursuit of happiness…Knowing fully well that it was Daniel on the other side of the door, I propped myself up in readiness to accost him when he stepped in and immediately he walked through the door, I was quick to stop him. “Excuse me.” He said, trying to bypass me but I didn't let him. He continued trying only to give up when he saw I wouldn't let him be.“What do you want from me?” He snapped.“We need to talk.”“About what?”“Stop acting as if you have no idea about this.” Placing my hand on my hips and maintaining a strong gait, I resumed speaking, “About the company, are you going to consider my offer?”“Twenty percent shares? No.” He asked and he answered in a rush before he tried to brush past me but I held him back.“I’m not trying to be selfish here, that's why I asked for twenty percent. What if I had asked for thirty?” I scoffed. Daniel was making this very difficult for me.“I would have even declined if you asked for five percent.”“It's not as if I'm t

READER'S POVRose watched as Maurice Walked out of the room. Her eyes veered back to Daniel when they were now finally alone and she raised a questioning eyebrow."What do you want," she asked, watching Daniel walk closer to her.Daniel stopped in front of her and held her hands, it seemed to her as the most impossible gesture for her to make at that moment as her eyes battered as she blinked up at him in confusion, wondering about his sudden change in attitude.Just a second ago, he'd said hurtful things to her. She wanted to pull her hands away from his but decided not to."About earlier, I think we should leave everything behind and start afresh," Daniel said, looking into her eyes with sincerity.Rose frowned at him. Why was he saying this now?"Easy for you to say, you are not the one hurting from all of this," she said with a defiant tilt of her chin."Hurting? My God Rose, Why can't you see that I'm trying to put in efforts and all you are doing is undermining it . I know I h

DANIEL.I was let in soon enough by a man that had a tattoo right there at the side of his neck, nodding my head slightly I strolled right there into the darker part of the room, I could literally hear my heart beating faster.“Where is your boss?" I asked, looking around.I stood right there in the middle of the room, which had as many as five men seated around playing Poker.“Stupid move today, Daniel.” A man turned right there on the recliner chair that he was on with an arm resting on the back—“You are a hard man to find.” I flicked a glance toward him. “Did I ever tell you that?”As I spoke, I turned toward the only chair that was right there in the room as he rubbed a hand across his smile.“What do you want again?" He questioned. " I thought we were done with the entire scenario of having to follow her?” He asked again.“You assumed wrong,” I said dryly. “Yes, we found a bit of details about her but I need more, there is something about her that I can't seem to understan
DON’T TOUCH HER! SHE’S MY WIFE 45
ROSEI glanced at the clock. It was nearly midnight, but I knew the raging feelings inside would continue to drive me. On impulse, I reached for his lips and took him in mine.My breath caught in my throat. I was being so brazenly forward, especially for someone like Daniel who just made a misogynist remark at me.A tremor went through me at his skill of working the tongue, at the thought of his touch. Part of me longed for that contact. The wiser part knew I shouldn't allow it. And yet, I gave in to the temptation.His gentle fingers traced the raised ridge of my nape, sending tingles along my skin. Our faces were perilously close, his breath warm against my neck."Daniel..." I breathed his name like a prayer, leaning even closer. I could smell the sweet, manly scent of his hair.That was my last tether to sanity. Abandoned it, claiming his lips with a fierceness that surprised us both. Daniel made a muffled sound in the back of his throat but kissed me back with equal ardor, his ar
