I have never been this bored in my entire life lying down on a hospital bed is more draining than running marathons. I just feel naturally weak and tired despite being on a bed. Time passes by slowly and a day feels like a week.I can't believe I have been here for just a week when it feels like a year. My wounds are healing fast also which leaves me terrified because I have to start my physiotherapy today and I'm not looking forward to that but I have to if I ever want to walk again. A part of me is looking forward to it because I will get to see him again today. He said he will here to accompany me and I can't bring myself to stop thinking about him. Despite my confusions and questions about everything because there are some gaps that don't fit with how my life is supposed to be but I can't help but daydream about the gorgeous man. He is always here everyday but it's never enough for me, I just want to put him on a platter and keep staring at him all day long.I didn't even re

Grace's POV I could barely sleep a wink since I received that bunch of strange roses last night. My worst nightmare is back again, I never imagined this walking time bomb would ever be able to get out of the jail but I guess I was wrong. That horrible jerk is the reason why I'm living like this today. He threw my once happy family into a sea of despair and he is still not satisfied. "What!" I shrieked at Hannah as she tapped me out of my thoughts. I have been snappy and irritated today. "I'm sorry for disturbing you but the phone you ordered is ready," she replied, surprised by my attitude. Apparently I lost my phone during the accident and I had to ask for another one, I'm glad it's here because I have been wanting to talk to mom for a week now. She will be worried if she doesn't hear from me for so long. After waiting for eternity the call finally got through but I got disappointed when it wasn't her voice that sounded from the other end. "She can't speak with you right no
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

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

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

It was currently dark in the whole house with the minimum source of lighting coming from the window in their room. I was amazed at how she was able to help me rest on the wall. 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.

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
