Chapter eighty-six
? Rose ?
Rose POV
When I wake up it was already evening, I wonder how long I slept….
I didn’t bother to think of Alex, am too emotional devastated and hurting, he accuse me of alot of things, he doesn’t even trust me but for him to think that I could hurt our baby is the must painful of all this
“Argh!!” I scream as pain burst through my body as I wanted to sit up from the bed, I have been laying down for so long on the bed and my body is hurting all over
I badly want to use the toilet but I can’t move,every part of my body hurts like hell, I feel helpless…I can’t do anything, am hungry also.
I started crying again….I can’t take this anymore, am feeling suffocating
I struggle so hard to get up from the bed and use the toilet ” argh!!” God the pain especially in my stomach was much
How could Alex do this to me yet I still love him, but this relationship is no longer healthy for me, I need space from everything, going away for a while is what better for me
I don’t have any place to go but anywhere is better than here with Alex right now…I still love him but I have to think of myself
I manage to get up from the bed and limp to the bathroom, when I come across the big mirror inside the bathroom….I couldn’t recognize myself again..
My face was all bruise, my eye swollen and my mouth have cuts, I look like a ghost
” Oh my God” I little scream come out from my mouth as I take in my appearance, I started crying again, I can’t believe this is me
I look so thin and lonely, I can’t do this anymore
I don’t even have any identity, where will I begin.
All my life I have live through Aunty Beatrice and now Alex, the shocking realization that I had nothing is too much for me
My life revolves around Alex now but not anymore more, I promise myself as I clean up my tears
For once I will have to live for myself, I will go out there and search for the real Rose nothing this one, I have live my life for people around my for long now…it is time for Rose
I manage to have my bath, and went back to the room, I put on my hoodie and pack a little of my belongs, I have to hurry before Alex will come back, i just hope that he went out, I don’t think I could be able to live him if he begs me to stay
I have to hurry Before it will get more darker, I will use the little money I have when I was working for Richard to get myself so place to stay for now.
Before I will start looking for work somewhere else, cause I don’t think Richard will still love to have me work for him again, after the way I treated him this morning, all he has ever been to me was kind but I didn’t deserve his kindness
I will still come back to Alex but as an independent woman if the feeling is still there
I know that I will still love him, he showed me what love is all about, but now I have to go somewhere far from here for now
I come with nothing, I left all the cloth Alex bought for me and took the ones I bought with my money and proceed to the door
It was painful going down those stairs but I manage to get down, when I came down the stairs with my bag, I was about to open the door to begin my new life but the door open before I could open it
My heart immediately stop for a moment, Alex was standing at the door with a pizza box in his hand staring at me

Alex’Pov
I went to the pizza shop to get some for Rose she must be hungry, I throw away the food Richard made for her, I couldn’t cook that’s why I went to get her some pizza and she also loves pizza
I don’t want to live her for long so I paid for the pizza and rush back home
I open the door only to see Rose standing there as if she wants to go out, wait a minute she really wants to go out but she is hurt…
It was only then, I notice how nervous she is and the bag she is carrying in her hand as if she wants to travel
” Baby, where are you going” I ask coming closer
She kept staring at me saying nothing
” You can’t be out of bed, you are still hurting” I said trying to take the bag from her hand but she hold onto it tight…. I let go of the bag and put down the pizza on the ground
” Rose…. what’s going on” I ask as I cup her cheeks in my hands, why is she with this bag, she is still looking pale and needs to eat,
I feel so bad looking at how I bruise her face, I promise to make it up to her
She struggle off my hands that was on her cheeks, I was shock for her rejecting my touch
” Rose baby please..come with me” I said, I was having this bad feeling in my stomach, I just hope is not what am thinking, I took hold of hand her but she struggles it off again
” Rose… don’t do this” I said with a hurtful scared voice
” I Can’t do this…Alex I just can’t” she said crying
” You can’t do what… Rose please, let just go back upstairs and talk about this” I said
” Am l leaving Alex” she quickly said
” What!!!” I scream
