Quan's POV "Hey sis". I spoke up when I picked the call "What's up".she replied "I'm fine, you". I asked "I'm doing great, just calling to check on you" "I'm doing okay and dancing classes have been fine, and the kids here are amazing". I spoke cheerfully. "Seems you are enjoying that town".she spoke, annoyed. I chuckled at her behavior. I remembered how she discouraged me about coming to this town. She did everything possible, so I would change my mind in coming here, but I had strong will to come here for a strange reason l couldn't understand. "When are you coming back ?".she begged. "We've discussed this, and I've told you I still have about a year here". "I can't wait, I really miss you twinnie, you've been there for three years now, and it's not fair ".she sounded like a child. I chuckled softly at her behavior and took a sip of my coffee. "How will you be celebrating this Christmas". I aske
Grace's POV he walked out on me just like that. I hissed and took Bella's hand, and we walked home. Throughout the walk home, Bella kept on blabbering how good of a dancer her teacher was. I stared at her and noticed she has smiles all over her face as she talks about him. We got home and I met Miller in the garden. "Did you apologized?.she asked while giving me a questioning look. "Yes, I did ". I murmured "And".she asked raising a bow at me, I hissed and ran my fingers in my hair "he said okay". I murmured "Okay?". Miller asked, I hissed and left the garden. I wonder why Miller has been pestering me about apologizing to that dance teacher after she saw what happened last night. "Grace".she called out. I turn around and found her staring at me, "I don't know how you live in the city, but here in this town everyone is friendly, and I hope you do the same".she said those words as a warning and left me.
Quan's POV, I kept on changing clothes in front of the mirror. it was almost six pm and I still haven't decided on what to wear. I released a soft sigh and search my closet for a while before I finally concluded on wearing a yellow big polo and jeans trouser. I took a quick bath and changed my clothes . I left my room with a little gift for Mrs Miller. I crossed the road and walked over to Mrs Miller's apartment. I could hear laughter and low music from inside the apartment. I got to the door and softly knocked on it. Few seconds the door was opened revealing a stunning Grace. She was putting on a blue long dress with a slit at the corner and a Black sandal . She was incredibly hot, and I get she doesn't know it, "Would you like to come in ". her voice brought me back from my daydreaming. "Yes yes". l composed myself and walked into the house. The decoration in the house was simple and good. Different guests from the town were already seated and enjoyi
Grace's POV Without warning, he pulled me to him and kissed me. the kiss felt so familiar to me, like we've kissed before. all the organs in me was begging me to pull him to me and kissed him back.but then I knew it was wrong. I just lost my husband two years ago and here I am allowing a strange guy kiss me. With anger, I pushed him to the floor. he wails in pain and stared at me with so pains in his eyes that for a strange reason, I felt my heart clenched. But then I have to do this, and I have to do it now. "How dare you kiss me, you man whore". I shouted in anger. he looks at me with so much trauma in his face before standing up "I'm sorry, I was a bit drunk ". he said those words while staring at me. I lock eyes with him and noticed tears in his eyes, but he held them back. I believe he didn't want to share tears in front of a lady. "I was drunk and thought you were someone else". he spoke softly, but I Could see he was hurt. he stared one more time
Grace's POV "Can you sleep now ". I asked while caressing her hair. "Yes mom ".she smiled at me and closed her eyes to sleep. I released a soft sigh in reliefwhen I watch her sleep peacefully. these nightmares have been occurring since we lost her dad. Although Bella doesn't talk about what she sees in her dream, but I knew it always involves her father. I sat on the bed and watch her sleep. She was just the exact copy of her dad. Her light brown hair, long pointed nose and white skin. Whenever I look at Bella, l always see I see my late husband's female version.she is just five years old, and yet, she behaves like her father in so many ways. I put the blanket properly on her before leaving her room. I got to my room and memory of what happened few minutes ago flashed in my head I signed in frustration and sat on my bed. How could I be so stupid to fall for his seduction. I thought it was always Lady who seduces men, how come this time it's the other w
Quan's POV "Alright kids, miss here will be your dance instructor for today". "Okay Uncle quan". They all chorused in unison. "Thank you ". I told Liliana "it's nothing". She replied. I smiled at the kids and picked up my things and left for the cemetery. Today's was mom's birthday and I wanted to share it with her. I got to the flower shop and brought mom's favorite flower. I inhaled it and smiled just like mom would always do. The cemetery was a short walk from the flower shop. Within few minutes I was at the cemetery. "Good day mister quan". The cemetery security guard greeted me "Morning sir ". I replied with a smile and made my way to Mom's grave. Locating her grave was an easy one for me since I normally come here. I got to her grave and put the flower in her tomb. "Happy birthday Mom, look what I got you, your favorite hibiscus flowers". I said those words with a fake smile on my face. I felt tears threatening to fall down
Quan's POV Out of curiosity I followed her, and we ended up in a clean tomb decorated with flowers. I read what was written and realized it was her late husband .she released an heavy sign of pain and dropped the flower on the tomb. "Hey ". He spoke up in a shaking voice. "I just came to say hi and to let you know I miss you ". I stared at her and noticed how fragile she looks. She must have really loved her husband. he was gone two years ago, and it felt like she just lost him months ago. I did not know what came over me, I moved closer to her and placed my hand on her shoulder . She stared at me but did not say aword. "Hi". I greeted the late husband. Even if I didn't know him that much, people around said he was a nice guy. Grace stared at me, but there was no emotion on her face. She took in a deep breath and started walking away. I followed him behind until we were out of the cemetery. "Do you want to grab a cup of coffee or someth

I walk back home and started working on some documents, but I couldn't concentrate on work.the drawing I saw in Quan's apartment keeps flashing in memory, and it was tormenting me .why do I feel attached to That drawing even when I knew I don't know a thing about the drawing. I was still in thought when my phone started ringing, I checked the caller and saw that it was my bro "Hello bro" "Hey Grace, how are you?". "I'm great and Bella is doing fine". "That's good to hear". "Hope you are not having any difficulties over there ". She asked "Not at all bro" he hissed and kept quiet for a while before he spoke up "Are you finding anything over there strange". he asked "No , is the
