A moment in time Chapter fifteen
Grace's POV Finally I'm out of this damn hospital, even if I can't walk yet it is still preferably that I'm not lying on a bed every hour of the day. It has been three long months, I'm happy I'm going home but I could hardly register what was happening around me as my mind wandered around about that walking ticking time bomb. No day has passed without him giving me a bunch of that annoying flower. I was pushed to by one of Mr Hyde's men because he had to discuss some things with the doctor. My wandering mind wouldn't let me be as my eyes travel to a black car parked not far from us with a window rolled down. Out of the corner of my eyes I saw a hand waving but I pretended not to see it. That jerk! The heavens decided to have mercy on me as Mr Hyde joined us moments later. "Start the car" was all I heard that drove me out of my thoughts. "what are you looking at?" Mr Hyde's hot breath fanned my cheek as he looked outside the window curiously in search of my center of attention

Grace's POV My mind was like a hurricane with loads of thoughts running in it. On one hand I'm happy that I'm finally out of the hospital and on the other hand I'm being hated by someone I barely know. I almost forgot!, the jerk with the flowers is also out there. "What are you thinking about?" I was too engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't hear Mr Hyde walked in."nothing" I replied trying to assemble my thoughts.An aroma invaded my nostrils before I could see the source. "That's hard to believe," he said gently, dropping the tray of mouth watering serving of food on the table beside me. I was stuck in that hospital for too long that I now end up drooping at the sight of food. I can't remember the last time I had a meal that I wanted not because I was made to eat it. I smiled thankfully at him and started eating with no care in the world. I almost moan at the rich taste of the steak on my tongue. It's been a freaking long time!I felt slightly embarrassed knowing that Mr

Gideon's POV "We weren't like this before"."Things became messed up because of her and even if you deny it, I'm positive she is cause for all of this". Vivian voice reverberates in the silent room. I'm honestly surprised by her sudden outburst, she has been this annoying recently and she is starting to irk me. "if you don't release them I also won't stop getting under your skin" she continues as she closes the distance between us. Her green eyes stared back at me with determination.I have known her for a long time and I'm still shocked that she has this side of her hidden all this while."Are you daring me?" I suddenly feel like laughing because of her futile attempt to intimidate me. "That is a game you will never win". I said finding her extremely funny. "Gideon""I'm doing all this because I still love you and I want us to get back together" she said suddenly after realizing that her plan has gone south. "I feel really bad seeing both of you together and I got overwhelmed

Grace's POV I like it when you smile" he said while taking my hands in his. I focus on his face and decided to indulge myself despite my anger at him. I don't know when or how but unintentionally I have come to care for this man that I bearly know. "Why are you mad at me?" he asked suddenly and I have nothing to say. I will rather die than confess my feelings to him. "I'm mad at you because you hit me with the door" I replied while glaring at him trying to hide my emotions. "oh!, I'm sorry. Let me rub it.""where did I hit" he asked and I could almost hear him chuckle. "Here" I replied pointing to where the door hit me. I barely feel the pain when the door hit me but call me dramatic. He gently rubs on the spot and kiss it. "I'm not a kid" I said feeling offended by the peck. "You do that to a kid not a grown ass woman like me" I said to his blank face. "okay" he replied while staring intently at me. He inched closer to me and our lips met.I welcome the kiss eagerly,

Unknown POV I feel the rush of excitement pass through my body, the car run at an insane speed under my guide. The uneven road gives me painful jerk as the car try its best to stay on its feets. The cup of hot coffee I kept between my lap spilled its content on my thigh making me grits my teeth at the impact of the scalding hot liquid on my skin. I parked the car a short distance from the house, grabbing blindly at the back seat for what I got on my way. The place is very quiet and every footstep I take on the granite floor is unusually loud. I opened the door and walked inside after locking it after me, on the outside this looks like an old house that is about falling apart but on the inside it is a whole new world. I switched on the lights as I made my way to what really brought me here this late, what has got me really busy recently. Twisting the lock, the door gave way and I walked into my world of fun. "How are you awake?" I asked amused by the brown eyes that sta

Unknown POV I lost track of time while I burned cigarette stick after stick.The once dark sky is now preparing for a new day.I walk slowly away from the window feeling cranky from lack of sleep and stiff from staying in position for too long. It's a new day and I'm really excited about what I planned on doing today, I really hope it goes well. The loud ringing of my phone had me stopped surprised."isn't it kinda early""what do you want?" I asked into the phone clearly not in the mood to handle the person on the other end. "oh! Really!" "How dare you ask me that after beating the hell out my assistant""Do you know what I want?!""I don't want to see you again"She bellowed in fury without giving me a break. "I don't know what you're talking about," I said, ending the call. I saw that coming but wasn't sure she was going to yell like that. Her so called assistant is just dumb and messed my plans yesterday, he deserves what ever he got. Shower took longer than I expected and

Grace's POV I woke up to the sound of water running in the bathroom but I was reluctant to open my eyes, I really hate it when I'm woken against my will or someone disturb my sleep.The soft creak of a door nearby had me opening my eyes.Wait a minute! Who is in my room using the bathroom?.Am I dreaming?I was slightly surprised by the different room am in but not to surprised when I remembered I drank too much last night. How did I make it here?What happened while I was out? "Good morning Mr Hyde" I muttered softly with what I believe to be a sweet smile to disguise how much of a mess my mind is. He remain standing by the bathroom door seemingly surprise or something. His hair was dripping water down his body and with no shame at all I trace the length of his magnificent body with my eyes, a towel hang around his waist and I couldn't help but wish the towel would slip off. "Morning" he replied with amusement tinging his voice. The intoxicating scent of his shower gel warf th

Grace's POV I suddenly wish we didn't have to eat out and just go home but I realized it was too late to turn back when the car pulled up at a fancy restaurant. "what's on your mind?" Mr Hyde asked after our order had been taken by a waiter. "You are unusually quiet today and I know that not like you," he continued while staring at me. I contemplated for a minute whether to tell him or not but I decided to go with the latter."Are you saying that I'm a loud person?" I asked with mock anger. "Not really but.." he stopped mid sentence amused by my dead stare."but what?"I asked waiting for him to continue but his attention was suddenly turned to his phone that was vibrating continuously."Excuse me" he said and he left to do whatever he had to do. I'm not hungry thanks to that sicko ruining my mood and appetite."You haven't answered me" I said without lifting my head when I felt someone sit across me thinking it was Mr Hyde."I can't remember we had a conversation going" A strang

He was supposed to be back tomorrow but somehow he is back earlier and for which I am very happy. In no time his house came into and I didn't even bother to park the car properly before rushing into the house. A maid told me he is in his study, and that is quite unusual because he is still working instead of resting. I stopped in front of study and waited a few minutes before knocking, my hand stopped mid air when I heard a familiar voice coming from inside. I'm not supposed to be eavesdropping on the conversation but my curiosity got the best of me. I wasn't hearing clearly and to satisfy my curiosity I put my ear close to the door, still nothing. I ended up resting on the door trying to hear them. Unexpectedly the door opened suddenly and I wished the ground would swallow me whole. "What

She asked, glaring at me."I was only startled waking up to your sleeping face dumbass" I replied glaring back at her."I have missed you terribly" she said suddenly chuckling at the choice of words.

With no questions she went off to set the other girl free making me wonder what she was planning on doing before or was my presence the breakthrough for that.She was pretty tall with a sturdy build, it makes sense that she was able to break the door.

He noticed something was wrong after exiting Vivian's house and he saw a car following him, he wasn't thinking much about it until it kept appearing out of nowhere.

A moment in time Chapter twenty six
Grace's POV I'm quite surprised in myself because of how far I had gone from the bed, when I thought of this idea it was just a fleeting idea that I never thought would be fruitful. I had only walked a few feets from the bed and it felt like a mile. My heart was beating fast against my rib cage, I'm more scared of him coming back and finding me like this than falling face flat on the floor. A few steps more and I am at the door breathing heavily, sweat made my clothes stick to my skin like jelly fish. Fear envelope when I realised the door might be locked but with shaky hands I reached for it and to my surprise it wasn't. I was too happy and forgot to not to let go of the wall, I rested all my weight on the door and once I opened it I barrelled out of the room falling face first to the ground. The pains and shock of the cold hard floor almost knocked the wind out of me, I can swear I saw stars. I didn't want to make any noise so I bit my lips to keep me from screaming. My nose f
