Only You Chapter 31
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
Only You Chapter 36
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
Only You Chapter 37
Grace's Pov My heart was ready to burst out of my ribcage with the intensity it was jackhammering at. The kind of jitters that went down my body, having Ashton in such close proximity is unbelievable. Why does my body react like that in his presence? And Oh my God! The moan that slipped out of my mouth! That was so embarrassing. It would have made me look so desperate. Gosh! Why couldn't I control my traitorous hormones? I didn't realize how long I was lost in my thoughts and didn't even touch the food before I heard the bathroom door opening and Ashton appeared in his glory. My mouth went dry at the holy sight. He came out in his shorts. Only shorts. This was too much for my fragile heart to handle. His abs were on display, my hands itching to run them down on his skin, feeling his rough body against mine. His wet hair was completely disheveled with a few drops of water still dripping from them. I gulped down the lump in my throat before diverting my attention back to the food
