Grace's POV“Are you sure you want to go and see him? I can easily just pass a message across that you're fine and there's no need to worry about you. Vincent could go, or Adrianna. You don't have to stress yourself, babe” and this was the one hundred times Davis was asking me this question. As much as I really do not want to see that man's face, I just have to. I needed to know where he had been and his reason for leaving all these years. It's been three days since we started having this discussion, and he hasn't stopped asking if I was really interested in going. Before Harry and Catherine left for the U.K., Harry had instructed Davis to be very protective of me, especially now that I was pregnant. I don't know how I would explain to the men that I don't even feel pregnant at all. Davis was protective, that was for sure, but now that Harry had said so, it got worse. He doesn't take his eyes off me and doesn't allow me to leave the house. And that's one important reason he isn't l
Grace's POVWe stepped down from the limousine only to stand in front of a restaurant. Father had picked the place we would meet. It was an expensive restaurant, and it looked like the man had gotten wealthy while he was away. Davis pulled me gently by the waist, leading me into the restaurant. I breathed in and out before finally making my way into the restaurant. There, I asked for my father and we were taken to his table. When I saw him, I narrowed my eyes on him. He looked different from the man who left us years back. His eyes were fixed on me also, as he watched me move closer to him. He didn't act like he missed me, my heart tightened in my chest. Maybe somewhere deep down, I was expecting him to run to me with open arms for an embrace. I was expecting a wide smile or maybe a tear, saying he misses me but the very moment we got in front of him, he said,“Sit” He hasn't changed, and he won't. A poor rat that has pride that could choke someone. I rolled my eyes before sitting
Grace's POV“Where is Caroline? I asked you to come with her” The smile on my face shifted into an emotionless face. No matter how many years have passed, the pain remains. And somehow I still blamed Father for what happened that night too. He had children, and he abandoned them for so many years. He doesn't even deserve my audience. “Aren't we going to order something?” I asked him, ignoring his question. It wasn't like I wasn't going to answer the question, but I was hungry already. The man was dressed like a billionaire, he should be able to order one or two foods for his pregnant daughter, shouldn't he?“I can pay for your meals, but your so-called husband will have to pay for his own food” “Are you sure?” I asked Father. Davis's hand tightened, but he didn't say a word. He has been holding it down for me since I asked him to stop talking.“I eat a lot and my husband, doesn't” I explained to my father, but he didn't look like he cared as he stood on his word “Like I said, I d
Davis's POVI cannot be more proud of my baby girl. She is just the best. I just love how she is responding to her father. I thought I'd have to kill my father-in-law for making my baby girl cry, but who would have known that she could handle it all by herself? It seems as if the pregnancy was making her really tough. “Did you just tell your father to fuck off?” The bastard of a man asked. Grace didn't respond to him but turned to me instead, “Honey, I'll go use the ladies' room. I'll be back soon. When I get back, we will leave. You can do whatever you wish to do with him. I'm done with him” She kissed me on my right cheek before picking up her bag and walking away. My eyes followed her until she disappeared. The smile remained on my face even after she disappeared. It was the consciousness that someone was staring at me that made me turn to face him. My father-in-law. “Hello Father in law” my smile widened as I raised my hand to take his and shook it. He frowned before pulling
Davis's POV“Fuck!” I rushed out of the bathroom, especially after seeing the window broken. They had come in through the window, but how the fuck did that happen? The restaurant is heavily guarded by security men. Before I rushed out of the bathroom, I was already dialing Vincent's phone number, “Don,” he picked up at the first ring“Grace has been taken” “Fuck!” The man cursed under his breath. I could already tell that he was in a meeting because he said, “Meeting adjourned” Few seconds later, he asked, “What happened?” I was about to tell him all that happened when I noticed that Grace's father was no longer in the restaurant. I looked from the chair I had left him and looked around the restaurant, but he was nowhere to be found. “Where is the man who was seated there with me a while ago?” I asked one of the waitresses who was walking passed me. “He paid and left,” the lady replied. And my eyes darkened as my hand clenched on the phone, causing it to crack on my ear. “Fu
Grace's POV“Arghhh” My hand slowly moved up to my head, weakly, as I groaned. I slowly opened my eyes to see that I was in an empty room. A strange room.“Where am I?” I wondered as I tried to sit upright. I was so weak, it was like I was flogged with a log of wood. When I got up, I observed the room as I tried to remember what happened. When I left Davis, I made my way to the ladies' room and was using the toilet when someone knocked. I didn't respond since the door was locked there, it should have told the person that this part of the bathroom was taken. I expected the person to go search for another, but the person kept knocking.“Hey, can't you see it's locked?” I asked, pissed already.The banging became so hard and loud that I quickly wore my panties and was ready to open the door to give the person a piece of my mind. My eyes caught something strange, the shoes of the person, a male shoe. Immediately, I pulled out my phone ready to call Davis as I was already suspicious of
Davis's POV“Find the fucking bastard. All that concerns him, burn them down!” “Wouldn't that put Grace's life at risk?” Jack asked as Vincent and I made our way to Raymond's Mansion.“What should I do? Wait for him to call me?” I asked, pissed that Jack just couldn't do anything. According to him, he has searched, but he has no clue how to get to Grace. If only I had fucking forced her to wear the ring from the house and not pamper her. Now, we have no idea where she might be. “Maybe we should call instead. Grace is with him, Davis, we can't act rashly” My eyes turned teary as I bowed my head, wondering what to do. This was all my fucking fault. I shouldn't have let her leave the house. She was safe and secured there, but just one day she stepped out, and Raymond grabbed the chance. I didn't know what to do, my eyes were teary, yet I felt so upset, that I just couldn't cry. At this point, I was blaming everybody including Vincent and Jack, and I don't even know why, I was just s
Grace's POVAs the man continued to open the door, I rushed to hide behind the door, waiting patiently for him. The minute the door opened, I landed the toilet cover on his head so hard that it broke, and he fell on the ground, bleeding from his head. I quickly took the gun from him and kicked him before making my way out of the room. I also saw the man he had killed, and I shook my head in pity.My heart was racing, but I set before me nothing else than the mission to escape from here safe and sound. My head was banging, but I dare not think of waiting even for a second. I knew soon enough, the others would come around after the gunshot, so I went out prepared. I didn't get to breathe for long because the next thing I heard was, “Hey!”“shit!” I cussed before rushing into another passage. The building was a big one. There were doors everywhere I turned. I could hear the sounds of footsteps behind me while I ran. I was getting weak as I ran, but I dared not stop. It was when I heard
