By noon the following day, Grace and Enrique were married, first in the courthouse in the presence of Sophia, Cesare and Miguel and Janet as their witnesses.

After the court wedding, they proceeded to the local church where The Blacks worshipped and were wed in front of all their family and friends.

Grace's wedding dress was a simple strapless white dress. It had intricate designs on it, she was no longer using the wig because her ginger-red hair had been dyed brown and styled to perfection at Sophia's insistence.

She looked so beautiful that Enrique totally forgot to breathe when she wanted down the aisle to face him.

Grace had no father or uncle to do that for her, so Miguel took on the responsibility since he was the one who introduced her to Enrique in the first place.

Grace laughed when she discovered tears in Enrique's eyes. He seemed so nervous and unlike himself. Grace also felt like crying, this was the moment she had thought was never going to be hers.

    "Welcome to Greece, Mrs Black," the household staff of Enrique's mansion greeted in Greek and then in English.Grace smiled and greeted them back in the little Greek she had learnt from Enrique.Enrique did the introductions, making sure that Grace was familiar with every single one of the household staff. "Congratulations on your wedding," they all said."Thank you," Enrique and Grace said in unison.They had landed in Greece about an hour ago and Enrique had been doing most of the talking because Grace couldn't utter a single correct word in the native language.Their chauffeur couldn't speak English, so Enrique had been doing all the translating. Grace was glad that the staff could speak English, she was definitely going to learn some Greek before the end of their two weeks honeymoon.Enrique spoke in fluent Greek to the staff and they all smiled before leaving the house."Where are they going? What did you say to them?""I told them they could all leave until tomorrow afternoon."

    Enrique felt his hands around the bed to hold his wife, but all he felt was the softness of the bed. Groaning, he wiped his eyes and got out of bed.She wasn't in the bedroom nor was she in the bathroom, so he wondered where she could have gone so early in the morning without him noticing.After taking a quick shower, he took out his toothbrush and put on some paste before brushing his teeth and splashing some water on his face. He smiled, thinking of how great things had been between he and Lila the previous night. She had been so responsive to every kiss and touch. It was as though she had been created for him, to suit him perfectly.They had made love all night until 2am when exhaustion finally brought them into the comforting arms of sleep. Enrique had never felt as happy as he was right at the moment.He left the room and went downstairs in search of his wife. A bright smile fell on his face as soon as he spotted her in the kitchen. The speakers were on, playing a hit from the

    "How do you always manage to wake up before me," Enrique asked Grace who was sitting by the pool.He trailed lazy, lustful eyes over her body which was clad in a skimpy red bikini. She had a hat on and as usual looked flawless.He bent to kiss her briefly and Grace smiled before replying, "you sleep a lot. I guess you're making up for the little amount of sleep you get on a regular due to your work.""Not just that, I have the perfect sleeping medication by my side. So what's up? What are the plans for today?" Enrique smiled, sitting by her side.Grace had been the one deciding what they got to do since the past week. It was a Monday which meant they had six days left to spend in Greece before going back to New York.They had gone fishing, skateboarding and swimming in the ocean, though Grace avoided more than one round of swimming to prevent her makeup getting ruined.They had also been doing cooking tutorials on YouTube and even shot an episode of Enrique's cooking show in their kit

    "What exactly is it?" Grace asked while Enrique led her out of the house.She was blindfolded and couldn't see a single thing through the material over her eyes. Enrique had promised he was giving her a surprise a while back, but he had delayed it so she couldn't wait to see what exactly it was.Grace had been receiving texts from an unknown number. The person had been threatening her with her secret, causing Grace to be continually on edge for the past four days. She hadn't checked the phone since the previous morning, so she was glad that she could have some rest for the time being.What she was sure of was the fact that she was going to tell Enrique everything as soon as they returned home to New York."We are here, you can now open your eyes, my love," Enrique said, smiling at his gift."You got me a car?" Grace exclaimed, smiling at the sleek black car in their parking lot with her name on the number plate."Not just that, I got you something else," Enrique laughed at the fact th

    Grace got up slowly from bed, when she heard the doorbell ring. Throughout the past three weeks, she had been at an all time low.Enrique had been flying all from city to city on business trips. Having worked as his assistant for a while, Grace was aware that he didn't really have to personally attend to all those business meetings.He probably wanted every reason to be away from his dishonest and lying wife. Since they arrived at the airport, three weeks ago, Grace hadn't set her eyes on Enrique again.He had taken every necessary measure to avoid seeing her. They had driven in separate cars from the airport. Even on the few late nights when he stopped by the house, he used one of the guestrooms and made sure to leave very early the following morning.Grace had only found out about his presence through the household staff and felt too ashamed to even enquire about how her husband was doing from them.The household staff were off duty that morning, so she had to drag her feet downstai

    The entire drive back to their mansion was spent in an uncomfortable silence. The radio wasn't even turned on which made matters worse.After an entire hour of driving, Enrique parked his car in their parking lot and got out to open Grace's side, but she beat him to it by getting out and walking angrily into the house.She made sure not to look back at him despite the fact that he was hollering at her.Catching up with her in the bedroom, Enrique said, "Lila, we need to talk.""It's Grace and I have absolutely nothing to discuss with a husband who abandons his wife and then shows up embarrassing her in a public place like that," Grace snapped."Whose fault is it? I can't even believe I've been addressing you as Lila when in fact you were Grace. How did it make you feel, fooling me like that?""I had no choice!""Did you now? That isn't even what I want to discuss. Why in God's name were you dancing so erotically with that random guy like that?" Enrique retorted."Erotically? I wasn't

    It was a great struggle for Grace to mask her excitement at seeing Enrique when she opened the door for him that Sunday.She had woken up at 4am to get herself ready for his visit at 7am. She had done her utter best to look flawless and nothing like a woman who had spent the past few weeks consumed in depression.Enrique had sent a simple text stating what time he was going to pick her up so that they could head to church together and then his family house later for brunch.Since their argument the other night after her episode of clubbing gone wrong, Enrique hadn't reached out to her. That morning was her first time seeing him and she tried her best to sound casual when she said, "you look well."Enrique scoffed, pushing back a stray lock from off of his face. His was breathtakingly handsome as usual. A true sight for sore eyes in his charcoal black suit which hugged his muscular physique."You look good too. Are you ready let's go," Enrique said after taking his eyes off of her beau

    "So please tell us, Lila. Why did-" Aunt Was saying when Grace cut her off with, "it's Grace."Aunt Lucia wrinkled her nose in displeasure and said, "why exactly did you lie about your name? Did you perhaps commit some crime?"Grace turned to Enrique who was by her side. She wasn't sure just how much Enrique had told his family.Just as she was about to speak, Enrique said, "Aunt Lucia, I would prefer it if we didn't discuss this.""Why do you sound so cold to her? Is it because of this slut? She has been nothing, but trouble since she came into your life. A cheap escort who even faked her true identity, I have to ask if you are under some spell or something, Ricky!" Aunt Maria raised her voice.Grace felt like she was just slapped hard across the face at that comment. Enrique got to his feet and pulled Grace up."That's enough! Mum, Dad, you can now see why I didn't want to bring Grace here after all that happened. Why won't Aunt Lucia and Maria just leave my woman alone? Why can't t

    "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
