Beauty and Her Beast Chapter 46: Grant pov
I pull in through the gates and drive down the long driveway that leads to my front door. The lights are on throughout the mansion so I can assume someone is awake inside. I park in front of the entrance knowing that Jeff will put my car in the garage when I dismiss him from his watch. As I open the door, I can hear voices in the second reception room, so I walk there first and as I enter the space, I see Jeff and Jack seated on the sofas with coffees in their hands. “Good evening, how is Angel?” Both startle and whip their heads around to stare at me. I realise they didn’t hear me enter but this is normal for me. “Um, she is still resting upstairs. We didn’t have the heart to wake her, and Anya said she would let us know if she wakes up.” I nod to acknowledge what Jack has told me and turn to make my way to the bedroom. I slowly open the door and my heart hurts at what I see. The be

After everything that happened with the police, Grant convinced me to stay at the mansion to rest on Friday. I spent the day in the gardens since it was mild, and Lobo enjoyed being able to get out and play. In the evening Grant came home from the office and we had dinner and then relaxed on the sofa together for the rest of the evening. Normally an evening like that might be considered boring but, I feel so relaxed and safe in his arms that I could’ve stayed that way forever. As usual, this morning I woke early but due to my promise to Grant I decide to get a cup of coffee from the kitchen and then bring it back to the bedroom to drink. I decide to sit out on his balcony with a blanket around me as I watch the sunrise. “Angel? How long have you been awake?” I look over and see Grant standing in the window opening wearing only his boxers and looking edible. “Long enough to be able to watch the sunrise. Did I wake you?” “No, but I do wish that you would sleep long enough for me t

Inside the spa is amazing. Everything is elegantly decorated and set out to ensure that the environment is relaxing for the customers. We approach the desk and Anya tells them we have a reservation under the name Cerulean which shocks me even though by this point I really shouldn’t be surprised. The woman at the counter smiles and invites us to the changing rooms to get ready. She shows me the list of activities that have been arranged and I wonder if we are going to have enough time for it all. First, we have time to head to the showers before going to individual rooms for treatments. The treatments start with a facial and foot spa, followed by body treatment which then leads to a full body, head and neck massage. After that, we are advised to head into the salon for a manicure, pedicures, makeup, and hairstyling. I feel out of breath just reading the list but as I attend each appointment the stress and strain melt away from my body and mind leaving me utterly relaxed and my skin

I’m so nervous waiting for the girls with Ellis. I can’t understand why I am feeling this way. I have never been nervous to attend an event with a woman before. But when I saw the tux that she chose for me I was immediately intrigued to find out what her dress would be like. She had mentioned after all that she was planning for us to match. Anya steps out in a green mermaid dress and the colour and style suit her well. Ellis is stunned and murmurs to me under his breath. “God this woman is perfect. What did I do to bring this woman into my life.” I smile as I watch him approach her as she reaches the bottom of the stairs, and they are perfectly matched. But I worry because I still haven’t seen Angela. Where is she? Why didn’t she come down with Anya? Jack calls out and my gaze lifts to the landing waiting to see her. I am not prepared for what I see. She steps around the corner and begins to descend the stairs; I am rooted to the ground staring in awe. She truly is a vision. Her

We enter the building arm in arm, I can see people turning their heads to look at us as we walk through the crowd. I feel so nervous and out of place here. “Hey, relax, you are beside me so nothing bad can happen. Besides, you look breathtaking, so all these looks are them appreciating you while they try to figure out who you are.” “Oh, is that all, then in that case why should I be nervous at all.” “Haha, don’t worry Angel, as long as you remain by my side tonight all will be fine.” We continue walking and I smile at a few people who greet Grant before saying their hello’s to me too. We are talking with another hotel owner when I feel him tense up. I look around to try to figure out what the problem is, but nothing jumps out at me until I follow his eye line and that’s when I see her. Rita is standing directly across the room from us with her new man and flaunting her good fortune. I cast my gaze on the men and women closest to Rita and also to us and the looks that other people

When I come out of the stall to wash my hands, I am confronted by three women from the party who clearly followed me. At first, I decide to ignore them and focus on my hands, but they don’t seem to like that. “Oh, look it’s the escort.” “Hmm yes, and it seems that she thinks she is too good to acknowledge us.” “What a joke. Women like her are a disgrace. Taking all our men for themselves.” “I don’t even know why they call themselves escorts. We should call them what they are. Overpaid whores.” I snap, that last comment was the last straw. I’ve heard of high-end escorts and even looked into how they earn their fee and none of them includes sex in the contract. They are purely company for bachelors who need to attend a function with a date and nothing more. “If I were you, I would do more research before slinging insults and accusations at people.” They stare at me as though I am an alien after I speak. “Who are you to speak to us like that?!” The screeching is hurting my ears

As I watch Angela walk away from me, I notice many guests follow her with their eyes. The men take notice of her which causes the women they are with to notice her too. I worry that this may cause her trouble that she doesn’t deserve. Ellis wanders over with two drinks in hand and passes one to me. Anya is also by his side, and it seems as if they have been joined together all evening. “Where is Angel?” I face Anya to answer her question and realise that this is a perfect opportunity to try to avert any potential disasters. “She went to the bathroom to freshen up, but she has been some time, I wonder what could be keeping her.” Anya frowns for a moment before looking up and I can see she has decided something. “I am going to see if I can find her. I will be back shortly.” Ellis pecks her on the cheek and I nod as she turns to head to the bathrooms. “You and Anya seem close.” “That woman is amazing. Please don’t screw things up with Angel.” “What?” “I only mean that Anya is f

“That is the best thing I have heard all night. There is no way that a girl like you is dating a man like my husband. Look at you! There is nothing about you that would draw a man from this circle to you for anything more than a quick lay. So, enjoy this night while it lasts because I can’t see you attending anymore. I growl low in my throat in anger at Rita’s words. So much of what she just said is wrong but also, she insulted my woman directly in front of me and I will not accept that. “Ex-Husband.” The room freezes as she utters those two words and I swear you can hear a pin drop as everyone is watching us waiting for what is going to happen next. “What?” “You heard me. Grant is your Ex Husband because he threw you out on your lying, cheating, botox-filled ass and now that he is looking to someone else for happiness you cannot stand it. But Rita there is something you need to understand.” “And what is that?” I can hear the anger and indignation in Rita’s voice as she speaks

When I open the door, I see Angela crouched by the toilet, so I rush in to check her.“Angel?! What’s wrong baby?”“Ugh, bad morning sickness. Sorry if I worried you but this is a more comfortable position for me at the moment.”“It’s okay, I just wish there was more I could do to help.”“Mmmhmm. Hopefully the doctor can give me something to help when we see her.”“I hate seeing you like this.”I lament as I watch her lean back over the pan to be sick once more. I hold her long hair back for her while she heaves and expels everything still present in her stomach. Her complexion is very light, she seems quite pale, and she is also sweating from the exertion.The last two retches only produce small amounts of saliva that she spits out, so once it seems that she doesn’t have anything more to bring up I hurry to the sink and get her a glass of water.She takes some light sips from it and settles back on her haunches.“Thank you, I think I’m past the worst of it now.”“How often have you be

Angela is pregnant!Ellis was right, but if I tell him that, his head will get bigger, and he will become unbearable so I will not be telling him anytime soon. What I am most shocked about is the fact that she told me so soon after finding out herself.All I can assume is that she must have enough trust in me and in us that she felt that she could be open and honest with me about this, and I love her all the more because of it.For so long I was stuck in a relationship with someone who didn’t care for me as a person and was only interested in material gain, who lied to me on many occasions to keep themselves out of trouble.Now that I have Angela, and I am experiencing such a caring and positive bond, I know I made the right decision to leave Rita, but also, I was right to follow my emotions with Angela.She truly is an Angel.As we leave the restaurant and climb into the car, I am still on cloud nine thinking about all the possibilities that could become reality once we meet with a do

“But with you Angel, everything is different. With you I want to see you carrying my children, and yes, I want more than one. I want to build a family with you and even marry you, when you are ready for that.” I am shocked by his candour and by his words. I never expected him to say all of that. My emotions swell and before I can stop them tears begin to fall from my eyes. “Angel? What’s wrong?” He panics and reaches across to hand me his handkerchief; I chuckle as I take it from him and try to dry my eyes. “Nothing is wrong. What you said was so beautiful that I couldn’t help myself. Sorry, my emotions are all over the place at the moment.” “Is there any particular reason why that would be? Are you sure you are alright.” “Yes, Grant, I am, I promise. But there is something that I should probably tell you, I just don’t want you to be too shocked.” “What is it?”

As we step into the foyer of the restaurant I am amazed by the interior décor. It is stunning, the walls are lined with mirrors and the Matre de stands behind a mahogany pedestal near a pair of wooden doors with glass panels that lead into the main dining room. “Good evening, Sir, Madam. My name is Paul may I take your reservation name?” “Cerulean.” “Please follow me.” He is almost falling over his own feet to lead us to our table, I find it a little comical. “Whatever did you say to them when you made this reservation?” “I don’t know what you mean. Besides, I asked Ellis to help me make the calls.” “Overworking your best friend again?” “No, not at all. He was happy to help me make this the perfect night for you.” I squeeze his arm affectionately to let him know that I appreciate the effort he is making. Crystal chandeliers give it a rich ambient feel, the tables are mahogany with white tablecloths on them. Every table has a pair of red roses in a vase as a centre piece whic

I hang up and glance out of my office window at the city below. Could it really be possible that I’m about to become a father?I think about my own father and the strained relationship I have with him and my brother now. I won’t let that happen to my family. No matter what happens I always want my children to know that they can come to me for anything and that I will be there to help and support them.Two hours later I message Simon to check in on things back at the house.G- “Are the girls home yet?”S- “Not yet but they are due shortly. I had a message from Anya recently saying they are en route.”G- “Good. I will get ready here at the office then head over to collect Angel in time for when she should be ready. Don’t let her be late, we have a schedule to keep.”S- “Don’t worry I’ve got everything organised.”G- “Thanks.”I put my phone away and try to focus on work, but I just can’t do it so instead I check the itinerary for the evening to make sure everything will go smoothly.“Yo

I’m sitting in a board meeting not really listening to what these men are saying because all I can think about is Angel and wanting to know if she is enjoying herself at the spa. She looked so tired this morning and I’m worried about how obsessed she has been with figuring out what is going on with the board of directors at her father’s company. That’s a point, I should audit my directors to make sure they aren’t trying to swindle me. Suddenly the door bursts open and everyone turns as Ellis rushes in. “Boss! I need you urgently.” “Ellis, I am in a meeting.” “Yes, I understand but this cannot wait, otherwise it might require divine intervention.” The way he stresses the word divine and stares intently at me has the hairs on my neck raising. “Excuse me gentlemen it seems I have to handle this immediately. Compile the rest of the reports and send to me to review by email. That will be all.” I leave the room at a brisk pace and head to my office. As soon as the door is closed, I

“Please madam, we have already apologised and explained that the spa was closed for the day exclusively by a very important client. We will be more than pleased to accommodate you here tomorrow, but we are unable to see you today.” “Impossible! I have an exclusive pass to enter here, and no one has the right to deny my access upon my request. How can she have more influence than me.” She then storms over in my direction and continues her barrage. “Tell me, how did you do it? You must have done something very shrewd and unspeakable to hook him like you have. Otherwise, why would he even look twice at someone as lowly as you? You are not fit to even lick the shoes of members of our society and yet you stand there as though you are better than me. Disgusting tramp!” In the distance, I hear the phone on the desk ringing until it is picked up, but my focus remains on Rita. Her words are hurtful and deliberate, but I don’t care for them. She was the one who had the affair and decided th

“Angel! How was it? I feel soooo goood right now.” Anya gushes when I see her in the corridor. “I know what you mean. I feel amazing.” She grins and hooks her arm through mine as we follow Heather and eventually walk into a parlor for skin treatments. “Alright ladies I will leave you now, my colleagues here will have you glowing in no time.” Anya beams excitedly next to me and we head to the facial treatment section. My left hand subconsciously lifts, and my finger strokes my cheek feeling the sunken area where the glass ripped through my face all those years ago. “Angel, are you alright?” “Mmhmm.” I respond absentmindedly. “Hey, don’t worry about your scars, who knows they might have some suggestions for helping it to fade a little if that would help you.” “Do you think so?” “If the experts don’t know then I don’t know who else would. Come on let’s get facial and full mani-pedi treatments. If anyone deserves it, you do.” I chuckle and follow along to a seat and sit down.

Knock, knock, knock. “Angel? Are you okay in there?” I hear Anya calling to me through the bathroom door. I don’t know how long I have been sitting on the toilet seat staring at the plastic stick in my hands. The handle moves and because I didn’t lock it the door opens, and Anya’s concerned face appears. “Angel?” I just stare at her not able to form any coherent thoughts. She frowns but when she glances down at my hands she gasps and steps closer to get a proper look. “Is it? Are you?” She looks into my eyes excited and hopeful but all I can do is nod slowly. “Ahhhhhh! Oh my god! I knew it!” She screams in excitement and begins jumping around my bathroom like a crazy person. “What am I going to do?” I whisper and she finally stops bouncing to look at me in concern. “Are you not happy Angel?” “Well, sure I guess, a baby would be nice, but I don’t know if I’m ready or if Grant even wants kids. It’s not like it’s a subject that has come up between us or anything.” “Oh, I see w
