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
DANIELI crossed my arms when I saw Rose walking down the steps and at that moment I could have sworn that all the anger and anxiety I was feeling at that moment was starting to disperse away from the back of my mind into the empty wind.I pursed my lips and chimed. “Wow!"She had to be the most beautiful woman I had ever seen descending those stairs. I was mesmerized watching her walk through the door, to the point where I was looking almost like a black swan— Beautiful and radiant, glittering underneath the moonlight.“You are beautiful," I muttered as I walked up to take her hands.She seemed rather surprised by my comment as immediately that smile that had been absent from her face came to life.Rose looked away shyly. I had seen her in her different state but never this way… Never this shy.“Thanks." She answered as I glanced at my watch.We were running late by an hour but I didn't care a bit, to me it was only right that the world waited for all of this out as I was with the mo
ROSEDaniel Prescott is a devil walking in the flesh and I could say that with all conviction, perhaps in the past I had thought there could be a kind of redemption for him or perhaps that all of this was a phase that would soon pass—Yet despite all of this madness at the back of my mind and whatever hope I had, would it be safe to say that evil this devil had no redemption?“We've arrived." He muttered for the first time since the incident at the jewelry shop.I clutched my purse as I alighted from the car, still very much feeling irritated about everything that had happened.All through that whole while I had that grumpy face on that showed that I was furious at him, he must have noticed the look on my face as he pulled me closer to himself the next moment.“You would kill that look you have on your face at this moment and won't make me look bad.”I shot a quick look up to meet his fiery gaze, I was still irritated by the fact he had the guts to speak this way after humiliating me
ROSEWho exactly was he?A stranger from my past? I couldn't help thinking at that moment as I stared straight at the man who had called me by name.“Sorry, I don't seem to know this face," I mutter hoping that he'd somehow just go away and leave me alone by myself.The man must have seemed settled by there wasn't more time for us to speak as we were all ushered into the art gallery hallway.I could feel his heavy presence as well that was right there behind where we were, as we were all in awe about the amazing paintings.It was just a matter of time before Daniel and myself were stopping at the other end of the room bemused by the artwork that we had right there on the wall.He clasped his hands with mine, his eyes watery as he stared at the beauty on the wall. I had always thought of what could bring a hard-hearted man like Daniel to his knees so easily. Guess I had my answers.“Isn't it so beautiful?" He muttered, clasping my hand even tighter.Finally, it occurred to me that out
ROSEWe drove in silence just the same way we had driven down to the art exhibition, I had a lot of questions busting throughout my mind but I didn't dare ask as I was unsure of the state of his mind at that minute, my guess was he was thinking about the state of the Middle age man he had hit back at the party.A heavyweight that felt too much to bear settled in my chest and I took a heavy gasp to swallow it all down, now and then I looked back to be sure we were not being trailed after his atrocious act.His phone buzzed and after answering I heard him sigh. “He is going to live."The world's were to me the best I had listened to the entire day as I was in a state of panic as well.An ambulance drove past us heading in the direction of the party we had left.“He deserved it," Hr muttered justifying what had just happened.I wasn't one to argue with him let alone comment on the Issue on the ground but if there was anything I felt at that moment of him speaking it was that bit of comfo
ROSEIt had all been a dream, and right at this moment, I felt really stupid staring up at the same man I was having a sexual dream about.“You got me all worried." He sounded agitated while making his way from where I was.I could immediately sense how irritated he was and looked around to see the mess I had created throwing up all over the floor before wallowing In my mass.The only part that seemed surreal was the fact that I had a warm bath assumably, as I was donning a nightie.Perhaps, in what I could consider a good gesture he walked towards where I was with two pills in his hands.“Take this you'd feel much better, and get out of those you are starting to stench."He walked away afterward and rang the maid through the telecom, and while one walked in a couple of minutes later I seized the opportunity to slip into the bathroom.Soon, I was walking out of the bathroom for the second time that evening all dressed for the night.Walking out toward where he was, my face was flushe
CHAPTER 22Shades of GreyROSEThe thought that I was making a mistake giving him my virginity filled my mind but I couldn't stop it, not at this moment that was filled with so much pleasure every dying second of the way.It started with the thumping, and my body heated as Daniel Prescott kissed me with absolute perfection. He might be imperfect in his ways but definitely, he was an author who knew his way around the sculpturing of my body like it was forged by him.“Oh, Daniel." I muttered his name.My voice was tinted with the heavy thoughts of the pressure to come, enough that I let myself be a part of it with all willingness…“You like what I do right."I hesitated with my answer and got a smack in the ass for it.“Yeah." I moan out my reply while still trying to succumb to the passion that looks to be sprouting from deep within.My eyes started to drift. Searching his face for a sign that he could feel this too, my palms roamed his macho body, as he kissed down the nape of my nec
