@FREDERICK'S HOUSEGerald's POV"Do you really wanna do this?" Father inquired, and I know he's against with this. I'm referring to Grayson's father, and still want the call him that because he takes care of me."He said I'm good to go, so there's no reason to stay here any longer.""You know he didn't mean it, Gerald. He doesn't want you to leave, and I know you don't either.""Look, he gave me permission. I'm leaving," I said to him. I put all of my clothes inside the luggage and I'm not leaving any single clothes in here. Especially since my biological father gave me a permission to leave, and that's what I'm going to do. "Instead of leaving, why don't you talked to him and make it up to your father?" He muttered. "Why are you so concern about us, dad? Aren't you supposed to be happy because I'm leaving?""I never become happy when my son leave. Even though we're not blood related, and you are not my real son. I care about you because you are a flesh and blood of the woman I lo
Erika's POV I came down to the kitchen because it's been a week now since I starve myself, and this is not good either. I realized that locking myself up is no good, instead I have to start my day without stress and positivity. I search for food because my stomach has been groaning for weeks, so when my eyes landed on the loaf and peanut butter I grab it. But I shock to see my mother behind me, she had this smile that I never saw to her. She startled me. "Mom! Why do you have to come up like that?""I'm sorry, Erika. I thought you weren't coming, so I'm surprised to see you down here. Are you hungry? You want me to cook?" Mom approach the fridge and get some frozen food. She begin cooking and even though that's easy to cook I still appreciate it. Mom cook me fried hotdog, and ham. After that scoop me a rice. I was just watching her until she finish cooking. "That's all I can cook because you've been there for weeks, and I thought that's the fastest food I can cook since you're al
Nicholas's POV"You know Erika won't sit still and wait, right?" I questioned made me turned to him, and I know he's been wanting to asked that to me."I know. What's the matter with that?" He said.I sighed before closing the book I'm reading, "I'm just reminding you that no matter what we do I can feel she won't listen to Asher.""Yeah. I know that. Why are you so worried?" I am not surprised to his answer.I shrugged, "Nothing. Just thinking what will her reaction after seeing her husband. Asher speak to Erika, and their conversation went well. He's thinking how can we hide this from your wife.""Easy. You'll inform me if Erika was here, that's why I can pretend sleeping. In that case, we are safe from her suspicions."What a smart idea yet dangerous. I am not sure she can buy that, especially since Grayson can't stand seeing her cry. I already saw that once in his house, he couldn't stand seeing his tears and immediately find a way to ease that. "You are doubting me, aren't you?
Erika's POV "We can go back, Erika. Please, don't do this."I halt from walking when Asher begged me, he's scared and I don't know why. We are currently inside of the hospital where Grayson staying in, and he's been stopping me since we arrive here.Wanna know how I found out? I caught him. His messages keep popping up and his sound annoy me, so I read it and saw the hospital's name. At first I'm not certain about it, but when I stated that name he become anxious. That's why. "Why are you stopping me? He's my husband.""I get your point, Erika. But don't you think it's too early to visit him?" He muttered. "I guess not. He need my support and Grayson's life was in the line of danger because of me, so I have to at least show my support.""Yeah. But he's going to get mad if he found out you came without his permission," he replied. "You won't mention this to him, right?" I said. Asher didn't answer and I know he will, which I have to rely on myself from now on and not to them. I k
Erika's POVI'm not allowed to touched him or even hold his hand, but Nicholas and Asher allow me to have a moment with him. Finally they let me see him, but this is going to be my first and last visit to Grayson. The beeping sound is enough for me to know he is already save from danger, and I have to wait. I have to wait until he wake up and show me his smile again, and made my day complete. He save me and instead of getting shot, he catched that bullet for me. "I'm sorry if I can't do anything for you. I know how stubborn I am these days, but I wanna see if your okay and away from danger..."I wipe the tears that escape my eyes and laugh on myself, "You will definitely scold me for being stubborn and disobeying your rules. That's why I'm ready to accept any consequences for being such a stubborn wife.""You are the bravest man I ever met, and made me change for good. You made me become more interested in life, and didn't get tired of me. So I am willing to obey you at all cost jus
Erika's POVI woke up from the voices coming inside this so familiar room, and realized I'm still here. This is not Grayson's room, so they probably place me in different room to check. I woke up and trying to recall what happened while touching my head and ignoring the people inside this room. "Mrs. Martinez. We're glad you are awake since we have a good news to say," the doctor said. I turned to the speaker and noticed it's just the doctor and one nurse, they probably checking if there's something wrong to me. "Where's Nicholas and Asher?" I questioned. "Mr. Nicholas head back to the room. Don't you worry, Mrs. Martinez because your fine and I'm sure you'll be glad hearing this," he answered. I confusedly looked at him and saw that smile in his face, which I wonder what does it stand for. He was smiling at me like I've been wanting this to happened, that's why I can't wait hearing it."Doctor?" I uttered because he seemed not yet prepare to tell me what he found. "Good news, M
Grayson's POV"You have no idea how elated I am after hearing this news from Asher. He complete my day, and all the burdens in my heart faded away."I caressed her cheeks and felt her soft skin into my palms. I must say I miss this meeting and my hands longing for her skin, she completes me.Her smiles, red lips and even her beautiful eyes. I miss those things, and couldn't deny how much I want her today. She's my treasure. Erika held my hand on her cheek and said "Your presence complete me, Grayson, and knowing he save you from death makes me praised him."I chuckled, "Who?""God. He bring you back for me, and I'm happy."I sat down properly and reach for her lips, then she responded to my kiss. Her lips is starving. I want more and want to taste it after being out to her life, and distancing myself. I pulled her closer to me and Erika ended up on my lap. She parted away and look directly into my eyes for a moment, and then she kiss me to show me how longing she was. Erika cut ou
ONE WEEK LATERErika's POVThe whole house is quiet and although I wanted to throw a party for Grayson's achievement in surpassing this kind of danger. However, I was told not to make any celebration because it can be use to harm us or our family members. I looked out the window when heard a car park outside the house, and my eyes twinkled when I saw Grayson coming out from the car. I quickly head outside to welcome him, and embraced my husband because I miss him already. "You miss me that much, huh?" He chuckled and I nodded while pouting. "Yes. It's kinda bored staying here because you know, we need to make sure we're safe from a danger. When are you going to stay here?" He pinch my nose before kissing my forehead, "I will soon stay on your side. For now, we needed to stay alert to every danger that will come. He might be everywhere watching us."I understand why he's paranoid about Gerald. I also understand why he wanted to make sure I am safe from him. He love me. "I made you
