Davis's POV It was late at night when Vincent and I stepped into the house. The lights were out and I wondered why. Although they might have slept off, I didn't expect that they would turn the light off before going to bed. As if on cue, Vincent pulled out his gun as well. "Grace, Helen…" I called as I went to switch the light on.Everything was okay outside when we passed but we can never be too careful. Immediately I switched the light on, I pointed my guns with both hands at both sides of me. Only to hear, "Surprise!" With my eyes closed, I exhaled, a breath of great relief. Jesus Christ! These two would be the death of me. "Helen" I breathed out as I moved the gun away, hiding it behind my back. Helen had a wide smile on her face as she looked at Vincent and I. In front of her was a big cake."Did you bake that?" I asked as I made my way to where she stoodIt's 10 pm already, Helen is supposed to be asleep. Why isn't she? And what's with the cake? Where is Grace?"Baby,"
Grace's POVNo matter how I called Davis, he never turned back to look at me or Helen. Not even once. It broke my heart so much, but I was more concerned about his life. He had locked the door behind him, so we would not follow. I hate it, I hate the fact that he is trying to be strong. I've lost people in my life, and only I know how scared I was. He didn't understand that he wasn't only endangering himself but also Helen and I. What will happen to us if something happens to him?If something happens to Davis tonight, I'll never forgive him. Never!I'm literally trembling right now. The sweat that had rolled down my face was enough to bathe. It just felt like the night from five years ago. How I had felt when I saw Caroline's body on the ground.I don't know why, but I keep seeing Davis's body on the ground. It's so scary, but I keep seeing it and I don't want to. My imagination was killing me, and it's making me cry some more. These are pains I do not want to face again. I don't w
Grace's POV“She must have gone to her room,” Davis replied with a shrug“But I thought we were to sleep in your room tonight?” I had to ask but instead, Helen said, “Daddy, I'm sleepy” She hugged Davis tighter, circling her arms around Davis's neck. He kissed her neck before saying, “Go to sleep, honey,” He moved out of the room to his. Before placing Helen on the bed. That was when I saw the time, it was 5 am already. What the hell!When did everything even happen? “Sleep Grace,” Davis said to me as he got out of the bed after dropping Helen on it. I couldn't help but ask,“What about you? Aren't you going to sleep?” “I will. I want to check up on something, and I'll come and sleep” he replied. “What's that?” I couldn't help but ask, I was scared that if he left, he'll never come back. I didn't want to lose him.“Hmm, Adrianna” he replied, and I narrowed my eyes at him “Davis, when will you be back?”He had the look of a brave warrior on his face, but I can't overlook the fac
Davis's POVA day of peace is all I ask! I don't know who the fuck these people were, but I dare not underestimate them. The last time they came with full force like this, I had lost so many men and Nanny Mariam as well. This time, I refuse to give them any breathing space. Immediately I walked out of the mansion, I began to fire at them. I didn't fucking care if there were survivors or not, my family were inside that building. I made sure no one made it into the mansion. I may have made a similar mistake before, but I wasn't going to try it ever again. My men stood firm as well, bullets flying everywhere and the sounds of guns too. Some of the enemies had escaped, but I made sure Bruce did not make it out of the residence. I captured six other men along with him. Only a few were able to escape. “Take them to the dungeon” I instructed Vincent, who ordered the other men beside him to take the seven men into the dungeonMy eyes landed on Bruce and I smirked,“You'll wish a fucking
Grace's POVI woke up to an empty room. Neither Davis nor Helen were in the room. I sat up to look around. When I checked the time, I realized that they must have gone to the living room after waking up. I yawned before stepping down from the bed. I stepped out of the room and went downstairs to the living room, it was empty as well. What surprised me was how clean it was. Because of what happened last night, I expected the house to be damaged somehow, but everything was intact like nothing ever happened. I shrugged before making my way to the kitchen, the place was quiet, there was no Adrianna or Helen. “Adrianna? Helen?” I called, but no one responded. Or was I dreaming?There's a belief that if you're in a dream, and you wish to know if it's a dream or not, all you have to do is check your fingers if they were five in number or six. If it's six then, it's definitely a dream, I raised my hands up to look at my fingers, they were both five. I sighed in relief, it's not a dream.
Davis's POVFuck! Grace wasn't supposed to be here! Damn! This is the main reason I wanted Adrianna back in the house. But she insisted on seeing the man getting tortured. I didn't think too much about it, since Grace would never come here anyway until she did. “You see what you caused!” I barked at the bastard, Bruce. His head was down as he didn't have any more strength to lift it up. I had patiently pulled out all his fucking teeth. The bastard thought I was here to play, I had made sure to give him more than he had done to me. After killing his men in front of him, just like he did to mine, I began to pluck out his teeth one after the other before moving down to his fucking fingers. I pulled out all his nails with a fucking plier one after the other. Yes, the bastard screamed. He screamed so loud, and I was glad the torture room was not just underground, but also made of soundproof doors. After asking him so many times who his fucking boss was, he finally confessed, but his
Davis's POV“I'm so, so sorry” I apologized, but the girl didn't look like sorry would solve this one. “Davis, please. I beg you, let me go. I didn't sign up for this” she cried. Her tears were rolling down her cheeks and when I took a step forward to wipe the tears away, she took many steps back in fear. Fuck!My jaws clenched, and my hands formed a fist beside me. I looked from her to Adriana who was standing close by, begging for help with my eyes. I didn't know what else to do, I was helpless for the first time since I met her. I don't want to lose her, I can't afford to lose her. “Can you let him explain, Grace?” Adriana asked, and I was grateful that she was trying to help me out because I swear, I was fucking lost for words.“What is there to explain?” Grace asked with a choked voice, causing my heart to break.“There is always something to explain. Give him a chance to explain” she pleaded. I stood there staring at them both as I didn't know what to do anymore. Even if Gra
Grace's POVThe video made me rooted to the ground. I watched Vincent take Helen from Davis before walking upstairs. I forced myself to move my legs after minutes of staring at him. I made my way to where Davis stood. He didn't move. His eyes held something I couldn't explain. They were different from what I had ever seen in Davis. They were teary, and I could also see the fear in his eyes. He didn't want to lose me. He was scared that I'll leave him with Helen.When I got close enough to him, I began to undo the button on the wrist of his long sleeve shirt. I was shocked, myself, when I saw him wearing a long sleeve. But I didn't think much about it. I felt he did it for a change, I didn't notice….I thought I had checked him well last night, but I didn't. He made sure I didn't suspect a thing. And I didn't.I rolled his sleeves and he quietly watched me as I rolled his shirt up, but it refused to move further at a particular spot, so I stopped rolling. Ignoring the look he was gi
