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

"Those fucking bastards" he cussed silently while fidgeting with the car keys trying to turn it on as fast as possible. 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. For a fact that it wasn't an outstanding car made him realize they meant business. He tried running from them an uncountable number of times but it wasn't working and they would appear out of nowhere like they had a tracker on him. He had checked himself earlier on to be sure they hadn't put a bug on him.The sky was beginning to darken and he had one more stop to make before heading home. Originally his days were never occupied but he kept driving around since morning in an attempt to throw them off.

Grace's POVWith more grunts and several shoves at the door it finally opens, I struggled to sit up but she helped me. 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. But the other girl was in a worse condition than her, she couldn't stand on her own. It tore my heart to pieces to see writhe in pain as she was guided out the room.

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.

Grace's POV I'm quite sure some drivers threw curses at me because of my murderous driving, I just couldn't keep my calm. A couple of days felt like a month, Mr Hyde is back from his trip. 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
