"I don't know what you're talking about," Grace countered."You don't know? I can't believe this, why are you trying to dispute my claim? You are Grace Jones, don't you think I know you well enough to recognize you despite whatever form of disguise you take on?" Janet snapped."I'm sorry Janet, but I have a very valid reason for this, I just can't explain to you yet. Can you just keep this between us?" Grace pleaded."I just don't understand, why do you have to pretend to be someone else. Is your name Grace Jones, after all?""Yes, it is. I'm so sorry, Ms Morgan," Grace said."Ms Morgan? I should have understood that we weren't friends, but I was foolish enough to think we were. You still refer to me so formally, Grace and we are not even at work. Do you know why I didn't expose you to Enrique?"Grace blinked back her tears, she felt like a total fraud. It was obvious that Janet's encounter with her tonight was going to cause a friction between them."It's because I was confident that

"What new job?" Grace frowned at Enrique, wondering what exactly was going through his mind.No matter how tempting whatever job he had for her was, she had to refuse. She couldn't keep being around him while acting as Lila, he could easily figure out who she was just like Janet did.As long as she had already taken the job as his PA at work, it would mean Enrique would have more time to observe her and probably figure out the similarities between she and Lila."I want you to be my girlfriend," Enrique said."What?" Grace gasped.What was happening, she had no intention of dating someone as rude and annoying as Enrique Black, why the hell was he asking to date her?"I don't want to be your girlfriend," she replied."Do not flatter yourself, I have no interest in someone who works as an escort. It will be a contracted relationship. You will only do the things required for a girlfriend to do when we are in public. I kissed you because I wanted to know if you could do a good job at convi

"Ms— I mean Janet, please could you come to the entrance for a moment?" Grace pleaded as soon as Janet answered the phone."What is it, Lila or is it Grace?" Janet snapped.Grace knew that Janet had every right to be mad at her, but she was the only one who could help her get access into the building. "I'm really sorry about everything, Janet, but I'm in a fix right now, please I need your job or Mr Black will have me fired," Grace pleaded."I'm on my way," Janet said before hanging up.A few minutes later, Grace saw Janet walking up to her. She was dressed smartly in a pink business suit that enhanced he slim, feminine figure.Her long blonde hair was pack in a tight bun and her face was set in a frown when she came to stand in front of Grace."What are you doing, standing here like this?" She queried."I left my ID at home, so I can't get into the company.""Really? How could you forget it? Today is your first day as Mr Black's assistant and you are going to be late. It's already f

"Hi, Ms Jones. What are you doing, standing outside? Did you come out for some coffee?" Mr Bright asked as he came up to the entrance where Grace stood.Grace turned sharply at the sound of his voice. Her entire face lit up like a Christmas tree as she saw Me Bright. He was always coming to her rescue whenever she needed help."Yes, Mr Black needed some coffee and asked me to get it from Stella's.""Why are you waiting outside after getting it, then?""I forgot my employee ID at home while rushing to work. I don't have access into the building without it," Grace explained, feeling so stupid at having forgotten her ID."That isn't a problem, why didn't you call me? I would have gotten you a replacement. How were you able to get in before?""Ms Morgan allowed me in.""Let's go in, I'm sure Mr Black doesn't take cold coffee," Mr Bright smiled.Grace followed behind him and when they got into the reception hall, she said, "I'm so sorry Sir, but I have to rush up now. See you later."Mr Br

Penny had stopped by at Tanner's to drop Grace's ID and also join them for lunch. Grace and Janet had just waved Penny goodbye, watching her taxi drive off when Janet asked, "why do you and your sister use mobile phones. Don't you like the convenience that comes with smartphones? I've noticed that you're always using this outdated phone with no camera, but I had thought it was simply your choice. After seeing Penny with the same phone, I knew something must be wrong.""I like it, it works just fine. I mean I used it to call you and Penny, didn't I?" Grace replied avoiding Janet's suspicious gaze."Why don't we get you and Penny smartphones? What do you say?" Janet smiled.Grace looked up at her nervously, thinking of what Camila was going to do if she ever found Grace or Penny with a smartphone."It's not necessary, we are very old fashioned. I like the mobile phone as it is. I don't take pictures and I don't use the internet, so it's not necessary," Grace replied.They got into the c

"You are up again tonight, Lila," Camila said after waking Grace up from her nap."I've told you never to call me that at home. I am not Delilah," Grace snapped, rubbing her eyes."Oh please, spare me that crap. We need to discuss something very important," Camila said seriously.Grace looked up at her cousin who looked very much sober tonight. She had dyed her hair bright pink and was looking very much like a plastic doll at the moment.Camila had undergone several surgeries to enhance her looks and now one could tell by looking at her face and breasts, that she had some work done."What is it?" Grace asked tearing her eyes away from Camila's weird hair colour."What exactly did you do? Why is Mr Enrique Black so interested in you?""What are you talking about?" Grace frowned."You thought I wouldn't find out, didn't you?""Find out about what?""You are sleeping with the guy, aren't you? Why did you have to make it seem like you weren't? That can be the only reason why he keeps aski

"You play dirty, don't you?" Grace smiled, noticing how many people from the press were outside taking photos of them."I never knew that, are you ready?""Yes, I am.""Just ignore the stares and hushed talk around. We are going to have dinner, if we want people to buy this idea of us dating, then we have to at least be seen at the most expensive and famous restaurant around," Enrique said.Enrique got out of the sports car and made his way over to her side to open the door for her.Grace got out of the car, forcing herself to keep smiling. She wasn't surprised when Enrique opened the door of backseat and handed her a bouquet of red roses.She was the one who picked the flowers up for him at work, so she wasn't even flattered. She simply smiled for his benefit as well as that of the other people watching them.They walked into the restaurant and were excorted to the best table upstairs. After getting seated, Enrique asked, "so what would you like to eat?"Grace pointed the fanciest dis

"Why are you still up?" Grace asked Penny when she walked into her room."I've been setting up my new phone and yours too. We really have a lot to learn, this phone is amazing. Why did your former CEO let go of a company that makes something as amazing like this?" Penny asked typing away on the phone."I don't know, I guess he didn't have the necessary resources to keep the company running. Let me see what you've done to the phone," Grace said, sitting beside Penny in the bed.Penny turned and looked at her sister who looked kind of happy which was strange. Grace was always in a terrible mood after getting back from work at night."Did something happen?" Penny asked."W— What would happen?" Grace stuttered."Something must have happened, you just stuttered. Wait a minute, why are your lips like that?"Grace quickly covered her lips and muttered, "like how?""Like they were just thoroughly ravished. Did the client gift you those roses?" Penny teased.Grace choked on a laugh and tried to

"Mr Black?""Yes, Dr Fernandez. What is the situation now? How is she? How is Grace? Can I see her?"Enrique had been waiting the entire night with Penny and Sophia. The rest of their family had gone back home to return the following morning.It was about 2am when Dr Fernandez came out of the operating room. "I am truly sorry to be the one to tell you this," Dr Fernandez began with sad eyes."What is it, doctor? Please, talk to me," Enrique pleaded, dreading a bad news."What is wrong with my sister, can we see her now?""She is out of danger right now. She suffered a serious head injury, but we have operated and stitched her up. She is unconscious fir now due to a concussion. She would probably regain consciousness later today or tomorrow perhaps. There was no brain damage. She suffered several fractures and there are some cuts and injuries which we have treated. It is unfortunate, though that we couldn't save the baby. With the bruise on her belly, we suspect that she hit her belly

"My question for you is why a used condom is in our trashcan? Don't even try to lie your way out of it. This is concrete evidence of the fact that you brought in a man while I was away. Tell me how many times was it?" Enrique roared in anger."Why are you raising your voice at me? How is it my concern if you forgot to trash the condom?" Grace frowned."Of course I will raise my voice! You have no idea how disgusted I feel. Someone else has had you in our matrimonial home, how do you expect me to react to that?""Wait a minute, let me get you. You are accusing me of having sex with someone else? I haven't even been around for a while," Grace frowned."It's an old one, which shows that you and your partner made use of it while I was away at the office! We didn't use any protection the last time we had sex here, so it obviously isn't mine.""I don't have any partner, what nonsense are you accusing me of? Is this how lowly you think of me. That I would let someone else asides you to touch

Grace had to interrupt Enrique's advances as soon as they entered the hotel room for her best friend's wedding party. She questioned, "Enrique, what exactly are we doing here?" as her eyes surveyed the venue.Enrique pulled her closer and replied with an air of mystery, "We're here to fulfill a need, can't you tell?" before planting a kiss on her neck.Grace pushed him away and asked, perplexed, "What did you just say? This is my best friend's wedding party. I can't believe you would suggest we have sex during the reception. Plus, we're supposed to be the maid of honor and best man for the wedding!"Despite looking dapper in a white tuxedo, Enrique's behavior sent chills down Grace's spine. His eyes bore an unfamiliar look, and she couldn't help but feel like something was off.He persisted, "I don't see why we can't have some fun when we're both feeling it. Don't you feel the same way? It's frustrating."Enrique compelled Grace to touch his erect member, but she recoiled and questione

Janet and Miguel's wedding ceremony finally took place after two days of meticulous planning. Miguel's best man was Enrique and Grace was honored to have been chosen as the chief bridesmaid. She had been residing in a sumptuous suite with Penny and Sophia since the night of Janet's bachelorette party.Grace had been perplexed to learn that not only had Enrique been acting strange on the phone whenever she rang him, but he had also been avoiding her entirely by not taking her calls or visiting her at all, making excuses about work whenever she questioned him. The previous day she had driven from the hotel where she was staying all the way to their mansion, only to be informed by the housekeeper that Enrique had been sleeping outside since the night she left for the bachelorette party. She had attempted to contact him numerous times to ascertain his reasons for staying away, but her calls remained unanswered.Enrique's family was also present for the wedding, but at the reception party

Grace inquired, "Where are we headed?"After a morning without feeling any morning sickness, Grace woke up with an unusual sense of happiness. She even prepared breakfast, without any feelings of nausea.Enrique couldn't help but gaze at the sight of Grace's gorgeous face. She ate her breakfast with a sense of ease, feeling relaxed and content.Not wanting to be intrusive, Enrique refrained from checking Grace's phone for any traces of past messages from the unknown sender. Could it be that she was unaware or had not received any messages from them before?"Ricky, you seem to be lost in thought. What are you thinking about?" Grace asked."Nothing, my love. First, we plan on catching a movie, followed by a picnic, and then I'll take you somewhere nice," Enrique answered."Where?" Grace asked eagerly."You'll find out soon enough. Go get dressed, so we're not late for the movie. Sophia and Janet will come in the evening to snatch you away from me," Enrique joked."Alright, honey. I'll s

"So tell me, what is it between you and Margot Prescott? Don't even tell me that it's nothing, because I know what I've been seeing on the internet. I might be dyslexic, which prevents me from reading properly, but that doesn't mean that I can't see the photos of you two," Grace said."So you do care?" Enrique smiled."What do you mean by that? Of course I care and that's why I'm asking. Are you trying to avoid the question or what?""Margot is doing business with me," Enrique replied vaguely."Business? What kind of business could she possibly be doing with you, Enrique? Last I checked, Margot was still very much a supermodel. So tell me what a supermodel has to do with a famous restauranteur and businessman like you, my dear?" Grace asked with her hands akimbo."I find this amazing, Grace. You didn't even ask me this question on my return. Why now all of a sudden when the answer doesn't even matter?""Of course it matters. I want to know why my own husband was traveling all around E

"So what is it? Why won't you tell our close friends about our good news?" Enrique replied when they were seated on a couch in their house. Enrique had decided to stay at home with Grace for the entire day and hence delegated his duties to his executive assistant."I just don't want the news to be out there yet. Camila wouldn't be happy to hear that I'm pregnant, neither will your aunts. I just can't help, but feel reluctant to share such news with them," Grace replied."I never said we would tell them about it. Surely, you will tell Penny and Sophia about the baby at least?""No, not even them. I just want to take it all in first. I'm not even sure I want all of this right now. I don't want to tell anyone until I'm sure," Grace said, honestly. "What do you mean by that? Are you considering a termination of the pregnancy? Why? I don't have a problem with us getting so lucky at once," Enrique said."Enrique, please understand me. I have never been pregnant before, not even while slee

"I don't know why I'm feeling so nervous all of a sudden," Grace sighed. She was dressed in a purple business suit with her ginger red hair let down in waves across her shoulders.Her makeup was flawless, making her look regal and untouchable. Enrique had helped with her makeup and dressing because he had been afraid to let her be alone for a second."You have no idea how nervous I am too, but then we have to get you treated. You can't keep feeling this way. I don't like it," Enrique said, arranging her hair to cover the red patch on her neck.Grace suddenly remembered what happened earlier that morning between them and she blushed when she realized that Enrique was also thinking of it."I'm sorry that I got so wild with you like that, you weren't even feeling too good and I did that," Enrique said."Why are you sorry? I wanted every bit of it too."Grace hugged him and then Enrique kissed her forehead before leaving the car.He opened the door for Grace, holding her by the waist. The

Grace rushed out of the bed, bolting straight to the bathroom. She bent over the wash basin and spilled out the contents in her stomach.She felt so sick to her stomach and the gagging continued until she curled up like a ball on the white tiles."Baby, what is wrong with you?"Grace was about to reply, but instead felt another bout of nausea hit her as she threw up once again. Enrique held back her hair the whole time and Grace felt terrible that he was seeing her in such a state."Take it easy, I'm here. You will be fine," Enrique said, patting her back, softly.Grace attempted to get up, but her legs felt so heavy and weak, she only squatted once again.Enrique washed her face with warm water Enrique lifted her up in his arms and placed her on the bed."How long has this been going on?""I don't know, about two or three weeks back," Grace replied weakly. Her head felt like it was spinning around and she just wanted to feel fine.The constant nausea was something she couldn't underst
