THE TYCOON'S HIRED LOVE CHAPTER FORTY-NINE
"Lila! Why did you leave like that?" Enrique asked, walking into Grace's office at the cafe."What? Why should I wait for that witch to keep insulting me?" Grace fumed."I'm sorry about that. I promise whatever Margot is saying is not true," Enrique said."Really? Why then did you suddenly need me as your fake girlfriend?""I've told you already about that and besides my reasons aren't important anymore because we are now together for real." Enrique stared at the woman he loved, he was really offended with Margot for ruining their date. He had just blacklisted her from any of his restaurants, but he regretted not doing it earlier.News of their encounter with his ex was already circulating on social media and Enrique was sure that Lila had seen it already."I'm sorry, but I can't help, but feel like you might still have some lingering feelings for Margot. I mean she's such a beauty and—"Enrique put his arms around her and hugged her tightly, kissing the crown of her head. "I don't l

"Grace, are you sure you're not bothered by what the people online are saying?" Janet asked.It was a Wednesday afternoon and Janet was visiting the cafe after work. It was George, the barista and Mrs Watson, the cashier's day off, so Penny was handling the cashier seat and Grace was responsible for the coffee.Candy was wiping the counters, something she did no matter the fact that the counter tops were sparkling clean almost all the time."Why would I be? They are just talking trash. I know what I have with Enrique," she replied."Everyone seems to be taking Margot's side due to her fame. They all think you're just Enrique's rebound and that he would get back to Margot as soon as possible," Penny said."That is nonsense. Ricky has absolutely nothing to do with that witch anymore," Grace said."How would you know that? You are so smitten, what did you just call Mr Black?" Janet teased."Ricky," she laughed before continuing with, "I was on a video call with Sophia and his parents. Th

"What do you want?" Grace snapped as soon as she got into the office where Adam was waiting for her."Wow, I cannot believe this. Delilah, the most expensive escort from Stunning Agency is the fiancee of one of my oldest friends. How hilarious," Adam laughed."I no longer work for Camila, I live a new life now and I'm no longer an escort, okay?" Grace said."Let me get this straight, Enrique has no idea about you being an escort, does he?" Adam frowned."It's none of your business," she replied."Oh my gosh, don't tell me he hired you as an escort and then fell in love with you? That is so dramatic," Adam laughed."Get straight to the point Adam. I don't have time for any games, I am no longer an escort and you are not a client of mine anymore, we have nothing to discuss. Why did you ask me to see you?""Why else? Don't you miss me? We had fun together, you know how much I love you? We could have some fun before joining the party again. What do you think?""You know exactly why you we

"Grace, there's huge trouble, wake up!" Penny yelled, tapping Grace to get up from her sleep."What is it?" Grace frowned, wiping her eyes sleepily.She was trying to get used to sleeping in since she had no job at Howard Tech anymore, but she couldn't understand why Penny wouldn't let her enjoy her sleep."The internet is going crazy with photos of you and Adam Fletcher kissing! How can you be sleeping when this is happening. Your phone has been ringing in the living room. Enrique—""Oh my God, let me see," Grace said, snatching her phone from Penny.There were dozens of missed calls from Camila, Janet, Sophia, Gabriela and Cesare, but strangely none from Enrique.Grace felt sick in her stomach while reading the article posted about she and Adam Fletcher. The headline read, "CELEBRITY BILLIONAIRE CHEF, ENRIQUE BLACK, MIGHT JUST NOT BE ENOUGH FOR HIS HOT CHEATING FIANCEE!""Oh my God," Grace repeated."You're in big trouble, I told you something like this was going to happen.""That w

"Who is it?" Grace yelled when she heard the doorbell ring."Just get off your fat ass and see who it is," Penny laughed."My ass isn't fat," Grace argued, getting up to check the door."Yes, it is," Penny insisted.After meeting up with Camila, Grace had gone straight home and told everything to Penny who was also incredibly disgusted by Camila's request. "Enrique? I assumed you were going to be too busy to stop by," Grace smiled, moving into his arms for a hug."I can never be too busy for you. I have a surprise, is Penny in?" He asked with a huge smile, revealing his even white teeth."Yes, Penny is on her laptop, writing as always. What's up? What's the huge surprise that has you smiling like that?" Grace smiled."I'm taking you and Penny out," Enrique replied."Where? Come on in, why are you standing outside?"Enrique walked into the house with two paper bags. "Hi Enrique," Penny greeted him, without even lifting her eyes from off of her screen."I got some chocolates for you bo

Grace and Penny followed Enrique out of his jet and they were completely stunned to see Enrique's family waiting for them.Miguel, Janet and even David Stone were there also. "How is this possible? They are also here," Grace laughed."Did you think Enrique was that much of a bad boy, to elope with you?" Miguel asked."Do not tease the bride, she is really stunned to see us all here," Sophia said, releasing Grace from a bone-crushing hug.Grace hugged everyone else with tears pooling in her eyes. "Thank you all so much. I thought you would all hate me by now.""No, my dear, Lila. Why would we hate you? Enrique had actually told us the entire truth about your fake relationship after the first Sunday brunch you joined us on. I am truly sorry that you and your sister, Penelope had to go through so much. She is indeed very pretty, by the way," Gabriela said, with a smile."Welcome to Spain, darling Lila," Arnold said."Thank you so much, Sir," Grace replied."We don't have to stand here, d

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.Nothing had prepared

"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."

"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
