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

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

DANIELI watched her leave and I was filled with fury at the mine she left. I was angered at the fact that she had walked away from me leaving me all alone there in the middle of the room.With the anger thudding heavily in my heart I stormed over to where she had gone to, at first I had seen that look of uncertainty in her eyes as she looked back at me—I didn't wait to even weigh her expression before I had the front door locked. My rough palm practically burned her as I grabbed Rose and jerked her up to face me.“What did you think you just did?"My eyes were fiery red as I was filled with anger, no one has walked away from me and the fact that she would do that made me feel more anger that left a burning sensation in my lower stomach.It took a moment to find her voice to speak, and once she did, it sounded more breathless and uncertain than it ever had.“What are you doing?” she questioned.I was mad. I had to be, to touch her that way to be this angry at her.“Let that be th

ROSEThe moment he walked out of the room, I knew that was my chance and I had to do something really very fast at the moment, it was mostly difficult for me to deal with at the moment, I knew to get away from him required for him to be totally out of sight…He walked into the room and I had seen him trying to look at my face to see if I had been sleeping.At first, I acted like I didn't know anything that was going on and acted as though I was sleeping.Soon after he had walked away, I was quick to Swatch into new clothes and made my way out fast as i could —Only when I made my way out did I find a bit of relief much to my own expectation. A warm breeze flowed through the streets as I made my way through. I could imagine to myself what he would be doing at the moment.Was he aware that I had left?It made more difficult the fact that all of these happening were as a result of two adults not being able to talk.Finally, I approached where I had been making my way to, I could hear my

ROSEThe shattering noise of the cup filled the and almost immediately I could feel his burning gaze come up to my faceI watched the hot tea stain on his white shirt and immediately I could feel my heart beating. I didn't know what to expect, didn't know if he was going to scream his head out, but whatever the feeling was going to be he didn't let it out as he felt all quiet.“I am so sorry,” I apologized hastily, bending to the floor and dropping the tray nearby while I used the serviette to try and pick up the broken pieces of the cup.As each made part of my soul touched with the wet floor, it instantly dissolved leaving me a mushy poodle of tissue and tea.He was yet to say a word- Yet to say anything, the thought of that alone made my heartburnI sighed. Something was definitely coming, he was definitely going to react but what was stopping him I didn't know.To my surprise he muttered.“It is alright Rose, please get off the floor.
