“A disappointment! A disgrace, that's exactly what you are!”
Grace felt her body turn cold as she remembered the drunk encounter she had with her mother last night.
Her mother was always drunk and there was nothing she could do about it.
Grace did not want to think about it anymore and focused on the man who stood in front of her.
“How do you sleep at night knowing what you did?”
Grace asked him, her face Stony and her eyes glaring at him.
Victor scoffed, relaxing on the railings of the balcony.
“Your mother slapped you again?"
“That should not concern you. What you did was worse than being slapped.
You planned for me to get raped. You drugged me
“You should be glad that you had someone like that be your first. I am sure you are screaming with joy inside."
“Seriously? Would you just answer my question."
Victor sighed, running his hand through his dark hair.
“Look Grace, I wanted this engagement to end as simply as it started. I found someone I loved.
She didn't like that I felt sorry for you or the fact that it looked as if I was attached to you.
She did what she did and I supported her for it. It was a mess but what has happened has happened. Now go away.”He turned to walk away but Grace grabbed his arm.
“Did what we have meant nothing to you that you had to agree to her plans?
To hurt me this way? Don't try to act like a decent person, you are not."
Victor shook off her hand with all his might and she staggered a bit.
“Grace get over yourself. Look at you. You wanted to be a model but ended up being a lousy accountant.
You dress like a grandma and there is no class with you. How do you expect me to be with you?
I grew tired of it. Yes, you were awesome before. But now you just look like a puke in my eyes.
Cindy Rodriguez has the class, the body, and the heiress of a hotel chain, the daughter of a conglomerate.
Do you think you can compare? The only thing you have is being fucked by a rich man.
So continue being slutty and dreaming. Maybe one day you would be the fianceé of Alpha Nelson Divine” He pushed her off and walked away.
Grace was so angry she wanted to burst. She wanted to bring out her anger and swipe it against his face but she didn't.
Instead, she stayed calm walked out of the restaurant balcony, and headed back to work.
There was no use crying over spilled milk.
“Aiya! Miss Valdes, why do you have such an ugly expression on your face?”
Entering the office, Kiana Flores, the art editor, and her close friend brought a cup of warm milk to her desk as usual only to see her sitting there in a state of dizziness with half of her face slightly red and swollen.
Kiana looked at her with concern
“Trouble from home? Why don't you get some leave and go on vacation?
“I am fine really. Just get back to work."
“Oh okay,” Kiana dropped the cup of milk, and a piece of paper written on it was an internal memo.
“I just received an email from the director to edit some photos that would be published on the website this afternoon. They said it's very sensational.
Anyway, I would need a new iPad because mine is bad. Hopefully, you can cost this to my budget.”
Grace just nodded absentmindedly, the warm heat from the cup in her hand brought warmth to her entire body.
She was thinking about her mother who is always in a drunken mess, the slaps, her now ex-boyfriend, and the situation that took place in the hotel room.
She was glad that no one from her company was there to take photos.
That would have been a first-hand embarrassment.
Grace drank a few sips of milk before placing it on her table.
As she picked up the documents and reports from her table, she saw a magazine that she had been fangirling over a few days ago.
Victor was on the cover and she had drawn so many hearts on him. She didn't waste any time before shoving it into the shredder machine.
“Ah!”
Just as she was about to concentrate on her work, a sharp scream came from Kiana, provoking other colleagues who had just been in the office to look in that direction with strange looks on their faces.
Grace also turned towards Kiana.
“What happened? Why are you making a fuss."
“Grace…” Kiana trembled as she looked at Grace with an expression of worship and glee.
She pointed at her computer and then at Grace.“You…Are you going to be Alpha Nelson Divine's wife?"
Before Grace could reply, some women had rushed towards Kiana's computer, looking at what was on the screen. Some screamed in excitement, others looked at her with envy.
Originally, since she entered the company with little to no experience, no one knew who she was, but in the blink of an eye, a group of women surrounded her table.
“Grace, did you know since the moment you entered our company I knew you were not an ordinary person?"
“Grace, you are secretive. You are the fianceé of Divine's group president. You do not have to worry about food, clothing, or money.
Everyone would be placed on a platter of gold. Why did you need to come to work in such an unimportant role?"
“Is the person in the photo you? Your birthday party yesterday was so top-notch, that person that picked you up must probably be the driver that he had sent for you."
Grace wanted to choke on her laughter when she heard what they said about Victor.
“We are always interviewing them but I have never seen Alpha Nelson Divine. So unexpected that he is your fianceé.
You would have to see him every day. Looking at that handsome face must be so hot. Little Grace, you must help us from now on. You must introduce us to your fianceé and share the news with us.”
Grace was starting to get uncomfortable with the way they were crowding her. Her wolf senses were already telling her to change and run.
Grace pushed through the crowd and went towards Kiana's computer with a pale face.
She was shocked to see the photos that were taken by the reporters this morning being displayed on the computer.
She was in the center of the pictures and it was obvious that it was her.
Her hair was in disarray with just a blanket wrapped around her body, her naked shoulders being obvious.As she scrolled up her heart dropped into a pit as there were others where she rested her head on Alpha Nelson's shoulder and when it seemed as if they were kissing she was only hiding her face as a sign of acting.
'Divine's Group Chairman Spent Time With His Fianceé In a Romantic Hotel Room Last Night’ was the headline of the news.
Had she expected that Alpha Nelson would clear the rumor? Yes, she has. Very much so. Unfortunately, life doesn't seem to go as planned. A close-up of her face was shown. Anyone who knew her would recognize her after seeing this photo. With such clarity, even if she denied it and said that the woman in the photo was not her, no one would believe it. “Wow. I never knew you were such a big shot, Grace.” Kiana said. Grace took a deep breath, turned around, and sat back down at her desk under the envious gaze of her colleagues with pale faces. Just by listening to the chatter, Grace could not help but shiver a little, while raising her hand to cover her forehead and closing her eyes to calm her mind. “Grace, are you alright? You are shivering.” Kiana's concerned voice sounded again, but Grace only shook her head. Without a word, she switched on her computer on her desk, and in the next few minutes, every search engine had the same headline. It was trending and t
The club was one of the most famous clubs in the city. Grace had just gotten out of the taxi when a young man walked up to her to greet her. “Are you Miss Valdes?” He asked. She paused for a moment, staring at the man in a suit with suspicion. Seeing the vigilance in her eyes, the man smiled in understanding. He then spoke in a low voice “Mr. Divine is here and is currently waiting for you on the 15th floor. Grace nodded, then followed the man into the clubhouse, taking the elevator to the 15th floor. She could see a pool behind the glass doors as soon as she stepped out of the elevator. Two people were guarding the door, when they saw her they looked at the young man whom she had come in contact with before nodding and letting her in. The moment she walked in, her eyes landed on the figure swimming inside the swimming pool like an experienced swimmer. He was wearing a short black swimming knicker without a shirt and she could see his body very clearly. His fig
Immediately Grace was done signing the marriage certificate she dropped the pen down, turned and looked at him. Alpha Nelson took the pen and signed his signature too on the marriage certificate." I will be going to my house now." Grace said after they were done with the signature. "Not so fast wifey." Alpha Nelson said. " What do you want again?" Grace asked as she turned and faced him. "As a married woman don't you think you are supposed to be everywhere your husband is?" Alpha Nelson asked her in a teasing manner. "Are you asking me to sit down here and just watch you?" Grace asked. "That sounds great, as least you are watching the hottest body in the whole world" Alpha Nelson replied,smirking.Grace just rolled her eyes wondering what kind of man she has gotten married to. Nelson came closer to her and Grace felt her leg became weak.He was really happy seeing the effects he had on her. Who won't be? With how good looking he is with his six packs. "Actually Mr. Divine, I
The moment Grace got to the door of her boss's office she tookna breath she never knew she was holding.After she was done, she knocked on the door of the office." " Come in." A deep voice said from inside. And she immediately pushed the door open and went in. "Sir, you sent for me?" She asked her boss. " Yes Miss Valdez please sit down. Her boss said in a polite manner." And she immediately sat down. " Hope there is no problem sir?" She asked him. " I don't want to beat around the bush. Is Mr. Nelson Divine Truly your fiance as the post only says?" Her boss asked. "Ehh!" Grace tried to come up with a good lie but to no avail."How am I going to tell her boss that Mr. Divine is actually her husband and not just her fiance?" She asked herself while still in doubt on what to say to her boss. "I know that is your personal matter and you don't want to say anything but that is not why I call you to my office." Her boss said after seeing how quiet she was. She was grateful that h
"Grace!" Kiana called." Won't you go home? She asked. "Home?" Grace asked and looked at her watch, it was past 6 pm. She was so drained at her work that she forgot to check her time. "Thanks, but you go ahead I will leave shortly" She said to Kiana. She then starts parking her stuff inside her bag. When she took her phone from her bag and checked it, she saw five missed calls from a strange number. "Ohh! No. Mr. Divine told me I should be expecting his call. And now I miss his calls" Grace said as she lamented to herself."Hope he doesn't get mad at me for not picking his calls" she thought.At that moment she was done packing her bag and organzing her table, so she walked out of her office.When she stepped outside the company, there was a Black Range rover waiting for her. "Mrs. Divine!" The body guard said as he opened the back seat door for her to enter. Behind was the face of the man, her boss asked to invite for an exclusive interview. She immediately entered the car. "
It was 6 am in the morning when the alarm Clock of Grace started ringing. With a heavy eye Grace stressed out her hand and turned off the alarm. Let me sleep for 5 minutes again. She said to herself and dozed off. "Sis, sis, Wake up it's almost 6:30 you will be late for work." Grace heard someone saying in her dream land. "Sis, you need to wake up your phone is Ringing and it's your boss calling you." Grace's brother said. With the mention of her Boss Grace immediately woke up from her sleep and got down from the bed."Sis, your phone has been ringing and it's your boss calling." Elvis said the moment he saw that his sister was awake. Grace took her phone from him. There were 5 Miss calls from her boss and when she checked the time it was 6:35 am. Oh no. "I am late from work." Grace said as she thanked her brother and rushed to the bathroom to take her shower. 20 minutes later, Grace was already ready to go to work. So, she walked out of her room. Where she saw her mother and
Nathan, go find out if Gerald was able to drop off my wife at her place of work. Alpha Nelson said the moment he entered his office.Okay boss. Nathan said and walked out of the office. "Do you love her? Nelson wolf asked." Of course not. Have you forgotten she is not our mate. Alpha Nelson said to his wolf.Are you sure you don't love her? Because I don't want any problems when our mate shows up in the future. His wolf said. There will be no problem. Have you forgotten our marriage with her is just a contract marriage which will end within 2 years, 11 months, 3 weeks, 6 days? Alright, if you say so. I have always respect and follow any decisions you make. Nelson wolf said. You have too. You don't have a choice since you are stuck with me. Alpha Nelson said to his wolf. Just then Nathan walked inside the office. Alpha, Gerald said, "He just dropped Mrs. Divine at her place of work. Nathan said.Good. Alpha Nelson answered and just then his phone started ringing. "Nathan, who is
"Mr. Nelson Divine." Mr. Mason called out in surprise as he walked towards Alpha Nelson Divine. Whispering could be heard from Grace's colleagues."Wow! That means Mr. Nelson Divine is truly Grace's fiance." Anita said. " That is bad she didn't tell any of us about him." Another colleague said with an angry face."I am sure Grace had a reason why she kept her relationship a secret from us." By the way we are her colleagues at the office. Kiana said to them."You are right Kiana. At least she has shut the mouth of that wicked Miss Cindy over there." Anita said and they all turned to see the shock which was still on Cindy and Victor's faces. I thought you said, there will be no way Mr. Nelson Divine will come here for Grace? Victor asked Cindy. Thought too so. But how come he came here just because she invited her? Cindy asked while still in shock about the whole incident."Your are welcome to my company Mr. Divine." Mr. Mason said to Mr. Divine while scratch his hands for a hands
