Grace's POV

I woke up to the sun rays beaming lightly upon my face as my ears filled the sweet chirping of birds. Stretching my arms out, I groaned, letting my body relax. Damn, I had a good night's rest surprisingly. Slowly looking around, I let my surroundings finally set in, only to realize I was not at home. Shit, how did I forget I was at Ashton's. This made my mind immediately wander off to yesterday's events. When he confessed to me.

"I love you Grace. I am completely and undeniably in love with you!" He spoke, caressing my cheeks while looking deep into my eyes. I stayed still. The sudden shock made me speechless. Nothing came out of my mouth. He saw me gaping and therefore decided to break the silence.

"Go to sleep," he whispered, moving forward to let his lips touch my forehead to give it a sweet peck. "You are tired. We will talk tomorrow. I promise." With that he moved off the bed and covered me with the blanket.

    Author's Pov It was Macy's birthday and also the day Adrian decided to propose to her. And so for that he had arranged a grand birthday party for her inviting all of their friends and some business associates who were close. It was supposed to be a surprise for Macy and Grace was given the job of secretly bringing her to the venue without her getting the hint that something was going on for her. But Macy being Macy obviously knew that the so-called clubbing Grace was forcing her to go for was none other than a surprise birthday party for her. Otherwise it wouldn't be a coincidence that Grace, who would never go to a club in her life, would force and drag her to one that too exactly on the day of her birthday. Not being a party pooper, she went with the flow and did not let anybody get the hint that she somehow smelled the initial purpose of the plan a few days back and wouldn't ruin it to let Adrian and Grace surprise her for her birthday. But what she didn't know was the other surpr

    Author's Pov Grace quickly went to the bathroom to lighten up her bladder, unaware of the foot steps that had followed and were waiting for her in the corridor. After doing her business she quickly washed her hands before drying them and opened the door to step out when she saw a figure waiting for her outside, blocking her way to exit. "What the..." She exclaimed, eyeing up the figure, her eyes widening after finally realizing who it was. "Mr, Worthing?" Her mind recalled the only time she had met him in the restaurant when she was working for Ashton and had refused to take money to betray Ashton for him. "Long time no see darling," he smirked, stepping in the bathroom slowly making her back away from the door. The door automatically shut with a click and her heart rate sped up. "What are you doing here?" She fired immediately. "Now it's not hard to keep tabs on where Ashton Knight is. And you being in the same place is just a cherry on top," he took a cigarette out from his

    Ashton's pov My heart pounded in my chest, as the doctor continued examining Grace. An oxygen mask was instantly placed on her face to make sure plenty of oxygen reached her lungs after being deprived from it for so long. Every fiber of my being was consumed by a seething anger that threatened to boil over. Grace lay motionless on my bed, her face pale and fragile. The doctor monitored her vital signs and provided the support she desperately needed by giving her some injections. My hands clenched into fists at my sides as I fought to contain the overwhelming surge of rage coursing through my veins. The scene replayed in my mind like a nightmare on an endless loop. I clearly remembered the moment of seeing her lifeless, sprawled on the bathroom floor. And after the CPR, she came back to consciousness for two minutes before passing out again in my arms as I carried her out. With every passing second, my fury intensified. I couldn't forgive myself for not being there to protect her,

    Ashton's pov After feeding Grace and tucking her in bed, I moved out of the room to let her rest in her privacy. I could take the guest room for today. But before that I needed to do something very important. Taking out my phone, I dialed a number. "Find Elijah Worthing. I need him alive. And I need you to do some things for me," I gritted out trying to contain my anger. "Yes boss," one of my men spoke on the other side of the phone before I hung up. Taking a deep sigh I started moving towards the living room to check up on Adrian and Macy. They were still here, wouldn't leave without knowing if Grace was fine obviously. Stepping into the living room I saw them sitting in the center of the couch with tense shoulders. "She's fine. Woke up for a bit, ate some food and went back to sleep." I informed the couple. Adrian stood up taking a deep sigh and Macy followed him. "I'm sorry about all of this happening at your engagement party. If it wasn't for my enemies, your special d

    Grace's pov Why was I even doing this? I questioned myself, shocked as my feet brought me to his place having a mind of their own. Shaking my head, I finally decided to head in, knowing since I'm already here, I might as well check what's going on. The guard at the door greeted me before giving me a smile. I guess he already recognized me. Stepping into the living room that I knew too well, I examined the place before spotting a carelessly thrown coat in the center of the couch. I instantly knew who it belonged to. I heard some shuffling coming from the kitchen. Curiosity got the best of me and I went in there only to spot Ashton with his back turned towards me, going through some drawers fishing for something. He finally found what he wanted and I only realized it was a first aid kid that he held in his hands after Turing enough so I could see his front. Feeling another presence, his eyes fell on me and widened with shock not expecting me there. "Grace?" His voice came out

  • Only You   Chapter 34

    Author's Pov The busy streets of the city were bustling with the usual hustle and bustle. Grace's mind was occupied with her last interaction with Ashton Knight. The kiss to be precise. She couldn't get it out of her system the whole night. She tossed and turned after leaving abruptly from Ashton's place, realizing the position she had put herself into. There was obviously an awkward tension between them. Why was she even doing all of this? She was supposed to concentrate on the latest project she was working on. As she stepped into the sleek, modern office building, she was greeted by the friendly faces of her colleagues. Today was going to be more uncomfortable she thought as it was the day she had to work from Ashton's office. And there was no way he would not let the day pass without paying her a visit. Grace made her way to her office, ready to immerse herself in the day's tasks. However, as soon as she sat down, her phone pinged with a new message notification. It was Ashton

  • Only You   Chapter 35

    Grace's Pov Why was everything so weird lately? Ashton literally ordered me to go out with him for dinner as if I'm his girlfriend? The heck not. Who the hell is he to order me like that? I agree it was sexy but still! I'm done being ordered around. Then why didn't I say no? Because you are starting to enjoy his company..you are growing to like him idiot! My heart taunted. But I can't. I can't like him! That was out of the question. He is annoying and rude and always angry and those are all the traits that I don't like! But you can't lie, you enjoy your moments with him. Ugh, my mind and heart would never get out of this war. I need to get some air. Snapping my laptop shut, I decided to walk out of my office. There were still 20 minutes left until work hours were done. Making my way to the elevator, I don't why but I pressed the top floor of the company, which means the rooftop. I honestly wanted to see how the city looked from a view so high. And how the wind would feel crash

    Grace's Pov "Where's the team?" I looked around to find no one but me and Ashton, as I stepped out from the car he sent to pick me up for the flight. "I thought this was a business tour." "It is, except there are a few changes. It will be just the two of us going. The team will be reporting to us from the office," he explained. "But…when did that even happen? I wasn't informed," this was so confusing, if we were supposed to go as a team then what changed at the last moment. Unless….he never wanted the team to go and just convinced me using that in his defense. Of course Ashton Knight would do something like that. "We're getting late," he didn't answer my question, instead started moving forth until we got to what looked like a private jet. "But Ashton? If they aren't going to be here for the meeting with the clients, how will they catch up on the details?" I was hot on his tail, still trying to get the reason out of him. "You are the head of the project so your being there

    Five years had flown by, and their once-tiny bundle of joy, Noah, was now a spirited four-year-old with a heart as big as his imagination. It was a sunny morning, and the aroma of excitement filled the air in the spacious kitchen of their luxurious mansion. Today was a special day—it was Grace's birthday, and both Ashton and Noah were determined to make it unforgettable.Ashton, donned an apron with as much determination as he approached his business deals. Beside him, Noah stood on a chair, his eyes wide with anticipation, wearing a miniature apron that read "Little Chef.""Alright, buddy, today we're baking the most amazing cake for Mama," Ashton declared, surveying the array of ingredients spread across the kitchen counter. Flour dusted the air as he attempted to pour it into a mixing bowl, but a gust of wind, courtesy of Noah's enthusiastic clapping, sent the flour swirling in all directions."Yesh Dad! We got this!" Noah grinned, his laughter filling the room.With Ashton's guidan

    Author's Pov "You look breathtaking," Ashton mumbled against Grace's lips as he continued to push her through the main gates of their home, locked in an intense liplock. Grace was lost in the searing heat of the kiss, her mind hazy with the sensual touches of Ashton on her body. "Too bad, the look's going to be ruined in a few minutes." He led her through the living room pulling her veil off, not having patience to finally make her his. He had given all the staff off for the day to not have any interruptions on their wedding night. The man was so impatient, as soon as the car halted outside the gate, he rushed out from his door to Grace's side, instantly pulling her out and smashing his lips on hers, not even waiting to get in. "Fuck," he let out a groan, cupping her breast giving it a squeeze earning a sinful moan from her lips. "Jump," he ordered and she immediately obliged to his command. His hands went to cup her hips as she wrapped her legs around his waist, instantly feeling t

    Author’s Pov In the soft morning light, Ashton Knight stood before the mirror, his fingers fumbling with the silk tie that would soon rest beneath his crisp collar. The room was filled with a quiet buzz, the scent of cologne lingering in the air as he prepared himself for the most significant day of his life. His reflection stared back, eyes reflecting a mixture of nervous anticipation and boundless excitement.The weight of the moment settled on his shoulders, a beautiful blend of anxiety and joy. Butterflies fluttered in his stomach, their delicate wings a testament to the magnitude of the occasion. Each precise movement as he buttoned his white suit jacket and adjusted his cufflinks, a silent vow to be the best version of himself for Grace.As he ran a hand through his hair, Ashton couldn't help but smile, the corners of his lips curving upward in sheer happiness. Today, he would make a promise that would echo through a lifetime, a commitment to love, cherish, and protect. The tho

  • Only You   Chapter 46

    Author's pov The day was here. Grace couldn't help but feel her stomach churn in excitement and nervousness at the same time. If a year before someone would have told her she would be getting married to Ashton Knight then she would have blatantly laughed at the person for even having such a ridiculous and foolish thought. Her brain played a movie of all the flashbacks and memories she had spent with Ashton from the first day she met his obnoxious being to the day she started loving him. Yes, she hadn't told him that yet, but Grace Miller had fallen in love with Ashton Knight. If not, then she wouldn't have said yes to getting married to him in the first place. She giggled lightly remembering the times where he actually made her hate his guts. Just how fast the night changes. "I'm pretty sure whatever you are imagining is very pleasant but I need you to stop giggling Grace or I'll mess up your lipstick," the make-up artist scolded her like a child. "Sorry," she fought the urge to

  • Only You   Chapter 45

    Ashton's Pov My face contorted with fury as I remembered watching the security footage, my fists clenched in white-knuckled rage. The screen displayed the horrifying moment when the muggers attacked Grace. Determination had burned in my eyes as I made my men trace the motorbike's number plate, my mind calculating the best way to make them pay for their act. And right after two days, I was successful in finding those bastards alive. "They are in there Boss," I gave a single nod to my secretary, Luke, someone who I always ring up for these grave matters. With swift, purposeful steps, I made my way to the hidden torture room I had prepared for my special guests. The air was thick with tension as I entered, the dim light casting eerie shadows on the walls. My footsteps echoed in the cold, metallic space, amplifying the gravity of my intent. The two bastards were bound to chairs, their eyes wide with fear as they realized the tables had turned. My voice was low and dangerous as I appr

    Author's PovIt had been two weeks now and and Grace had recovered from her head injury. It wasn't very severe to begin with. Things would have been a lot different if the person had actually shot her instead of hitting her with the gun. Although she did suffer with a mild concussion for a few days. But everything was well now. And things had gotten back on track. Preparations for the wedding were now complete. "Damn, I can't believe all the days just flew and my big day is tomorrow!" Macy exasperated, dropping on the couch. "I know right?" Grace added. "I am so nervous. Gosh I don't know what will happen tomorrow. What if I fall walking down the aisle. What if…." "Calm down woman. Noting is going to happen. And I know you are going to slay your model walk down the aisle." Grace cut her off to calm her nerves. "Are you mocking? I am not supposed to model walk tomorrow!" "Hahah, given the enthusiastic freak you are, I can already imagine you doing that.""Shut up," Macy threw a

    Ashton's povMy heart leapt out of my chest when I heard the words on the call. Grace is in the hospital, we were mugged. They hit her with their gun. Macy had called me immediately after telling me that Adrian was already on his way. I literally raced against time, breaking all speeding rules to get to her as soon as I could, all the while praying nothing happened to her. My pulse quickened, sending a frantic rhythm through my veins as I clutched the steering wheel with white-knuckled determination. The tires of my car squealed in protest as I accelerated, the engine's roar mirroring the turmoil inside me. My knitted brows were a testament to the fear and urgency that gripped me.The world outside my car window became a whirlwind of blurred neon lights and indistinct shapes, each passing streetlamp casting fleeting, eerie shadows across my face. This was not how the night was supposed to end. They were supposed to enjoy it cozed up in their pillow fort ending it with a movie. She

    Grace Pov"What do you think about this one?" I pointed at yet another bridal dress hoping Macy would take a liking to it. "I'm not sure. Those flower patterns are not my type," this girl is never going to find her wedding dress like this. We've been out for three hours now and she has rejected every dress that was shown to her. "I was thinking about something with a slit maybe?" "Oh God Macy! You could have said that a lot earlier and by now we would have been done," I know I hate shopping but it's her big day and everything has to be perfect so I'm trying my best to keep my calm. I love her of course and my brother. And for them I could put up with this whole situation. "Ok, let me try this one," she took a beautiful white dress from the rack with a slit running on one side before going into the changing room. I decided to sit before my phone rang. Obviously it had to be Ashton. "How's my life doing? I hope your sister in law isn't making you regret your decision?" He cheered up

  • Only You   Chapter 41

    Grace's Pov The last week has been nothing but a bliss for me. Ashton did not miss a single moment to prove his love for me and to shower kisses whenever he saw the moment. The days I worked from his office were extremely delightful as everytime after working hours, we would go out to eat and then hit my favorite spot near a secluded lake. We would spend our time star gazing and then suddenly the air would get hot and make us end up in crazy sensual, most bombastic makeout sessions that I have fallen in love with. His kisses are something else. The feel of his lips, the way he takes control, almost makes me want to lose myself in him completely. We have kissed in places that I never imagined I would have in the first place. Having full blown make out sessions in the car and his office was nothing compared to the ones where he would sneak into the ladies bathroom and surprise me to have some fun. Not only this but once we got so lost in making out in the coffee machine room that he for
