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

    Grace was getting swept away by the feelings Enrique was evoking in her, but then she suddenly pushed his away from her.Enrique drove his fingers through his wet hair and licked his lips while staring fixedly at Grace's beautiful body in front of him."What's the matter?" He frowned, trying to bring her into his arms once again."No, I want you to get out. I was taking a shower and you got in without my permission.""What is this? Do I require a ticket to join my own wife in the shower for a quick one?""A quick one?" Grace choked out. "Get out of here, I'm not a slut and there's no way I'm sleeping with you while you're treating me that way," Grace said, trying not to feel awkward standing naked with Enrique in the shower cubicle."I didn't see you complaining earlier.""I might have lost my mind a bit back then, but there's no way I'm letting you touch me while you are still mad at me.""Come on, Grace. We both want each other, you know how great it is between us, don't deprive us

    "What are you doing here?" Grace asked, breaking the hug."I apologize for looking you up, but I actually did. I wanted to apologize for what happened the last time," Emmanuel replied."It wasn't your fault and it's fine," Grace smiled."Really? I thought I caused big trouble between you and your husband.""No, you didn't. Enrique isn't like that, he was just shocked at seeing me with someone else whom he didn't know. So how did you find out where I worked?""I actually got your social media handles from Janet Morgan and I discovered that you aren't too active on them. So, I had to ask her where I could find you. I hope you don't mind," he smiled."I don't. Forgive my manners, this is Candy, my very good assistant. Candy, this is Emmanuel, a friend of mine," Grace said in introduction."It's a pleasure to meet you, Candy," Emmanuel smiled."Same here," Candy smiled."It's late and we are already closed, I was just about to drop Candy off and then head home. I'm afraid you got here too

    Grace was at the gym. She increased her speed on the treadmill, forcing herself to stay focused, but her mind kept going back to her fears about her relationship with Enrique.It had been two weeks since Enrique had left for Europe. His continuous involvement with Margot Prescott was the reason why he was always captured in camera by the press.He made sure to call her every night before she went to bed. Grace always replied in low tones, not particularly interested in talking with him after all the rumours that had been circulating as regards his ex and him.He asked the questions in the same format, questions about how she was doing, what she ate, how she was feeling, about the cafe and if Camila was bothering her. Grace found it difficult to understand whether he actually cared or if he was just doing it for show.She made sure not to ask questions about why he was spending so much time with Margot. She didn't want to seem like she didn't trust him, Enrique didn't love Margot, tha

    "You are back from your trip?" Emmanuel asked."Yes, I couldn't stand to spend another night away from the love of my life, it has been unbearable being apart for this long," Enrique replied, kissing Grace's cheek."I can understand. Grace is so beautiful and amazing, it's difficult to stay away from her for too long.""Yes, I guess that's why you are sticking to her so often?""We met at the gym and I took her out for dinner. I hope you don't mind?""Of course not, Mr—" Enrique pretended not to remember his name.All throughout his time away, he had been checking up on Grace and he disliked how the black architect was trying to get close to Grace."It's Emmanuel Sanders," Emmanuel smiled."Okay, it's nice to meet you Emmanuel. I apologize for how our last meeting went. I was really upset at seeing some random guy getting close to my woman," Enrique said, with his Spanish accent sounding more prominent."It's alright, I would totally do the same if I were in your shoes.

    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

    "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

    "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
