(From this chapter onwards, the story would be in Grace's POV, with only a few exceptions where it would be Third Person POV.) (PS. A few chapters later there would be some steamy scenes. So make sure to check it out!) Today was the day, I was to get married to Archer Dawson. The next in line to succeed the Dawson Group. I was standing beside a Rolls Royce Ghost, that picked me up from the Villa as scheduled. I had gotten the message from Archer through the head maid to be ready on time.Now I was waiting outside for him to show up. Apparently, he was handling something very important. The reason why he wasn't the one to pick up his own “bride”.Dressed in a simple yet elegant long skirt and silk blouse, I assessed the surrounding. People were coming in and out of the building, every now and then. Mostly we're couples, adorning beautiful smiles.But I was the only one who could see them, as I was standing in a relatively private area. I looked at there content smiles, and a little

The ride wasn't long. It was barely five minutes when they reached a beautiful villa. It was not in the same area as others and was basically secluded. It wasn't that big as well but it was beautiful and had a vintage look to it.Archer helped her out of the car and led her inside the villa. He took her through a corridor that led to a wonderful courtyard, which had a hut looking place that was decorated with flowers, and candles. He pulled the chair out for Grace and they both sat. Grace was about to ask him something when she heard footsteps behind her.A few men dressed in staff uniforms laid out a few appetisers on the table.“Miss Grace, I hope you like the dishes. I don't know about your usual likes and dislikes, so I just prepared a little bit of everything.”“Well…it doesn't really looks like a little Mr. Dawson.” She teased him with an amusing expression. The table was

“What do you mean by you don't know where she went?”Olivia looked at her daughter and replied, “I don't know Anna. They just told me that someone took her away, just when the auction started.”“So that means that they bought her right?”“No. The man told me that the bidding was yet to start when some man appeared on the stage and took her away brazenly. Without a word and without a cent!”“But, how could they let someone just barge in and take her. I'm sure they had security there, considering it is such a gathering of big shots.”Olivia massaged her head as she listened to her daughter's questions. She was infuriated and confused. Who would take Grace away, just like that. She thought she might make a few millions by selling her off but this happened! “Did they see his face?” Anna asked.“He was with another man, they were both wearing masks and had bodyguards with them. And it all happened so fast that they were out of the door, in the blink of an eye!”Olivia's enraged voice mad

Grace “I don't think I'm in the wrong room, Miss Grace.” The man extended his hand towards me for a handshake, “Harvey Ashton.” My eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing his name. Ashton, that's the most influential family in the city. And the heir of it all, Harvey Ashton was sitting right in front of me. Tentatively, I reached out a hand for the handshake. He clasped it firmly and shook it before reclining back in his chair. “I believe we are not acquainted, Mr. Ashton. So I'm really puzzled by this visit of yours.” I said, genuinely perplexed. “Indeed we are not acquainted. However, I'm well informed about you.” He replied. “And how do you know about me?” I inquired. “Miss Grace, we're merely squandering time having this insignificant conversation, and I do not have so much time to spare. So I'll just get straight to business” he responded in a serious tone. I didn't appreciate his way of speaking. He is the one who encroached in my hospital room uninvited, and now he wa

Grace Conner I woke up to unfamiliar voices in my ear and a subtle smell of disinfectant in my nose. “Oh you're awake. Please don't try to move. You have sustained a bullet wound in your stomach so you might also be feeling some pain. Let me just check your vitals before I go call the doctor.” The nurse checked my vitals and then with a few words of caution left the room to call the doctor. Her absence gave me time to look around the room. The room was spacious unlike any hospital room I had seen. Except for the medical equipment that was around the bed there was a seating area to my left and a kitchenette on the right side. There was also a door in the corner which I supposed was a bathroom. I was barely registering anything though. Except for the fact that I remembered getting shot. I thought I died, how did I end up here? Fuck! If they informed my family I'd be dead. The feeling of dread caught me. I couldn't go back there. My thoughts were interrupted when the door was

"She still isn't awake?" Tyler asked from the driver's seat as he continued to keep his attention on the road. "No," Lily replied glancing at the woman with half her body lying on the backseat, her wrists secured with a tight rope behind her. "Do you think I should untie-" "No!" Tyler cut in before she could complete her sentence leaving her to pout. Tyler sighed glancing at the only woman who made him weak in the knees through the reareviw mirror, "You know it can be dangerous. We don't know her. What if it's all a plan and nothing else? Your kindness may not be returned the way you give it Lily." Lily stared out the window at the passing night scenery of the familiar area she had grew up in, knowing he was right but she still couldn't help but feel empathy for the woman. "Let's leave her to a hospital, we can pay and go. It's not like it's our responsibility," He said making Lily snap her head at him. "No! Tyler what if those she was running from find her? She will be so helpl
