Kitty! Kitty!” Grace shouted when she got to her floor, no way was she been trained by those idiots! She wanted out and she wanted to get back to Senegal.
“Kitty!” She shouted one more time.
“Yes Miss, I am here!” Kitty said.
“Kitty, can you please show me where my suitcase and things are? I also need a phone and taxi number please!" Grace asked.
“A phone and a taxi number? But what for Miss?” Kitty asked confused.
“Because I am going back Senegal!" Grace said.
“Pardon Miss?” Kitty said looking stunned.
“Kitty dearest would you mind leaving my Granddaughter and me alone for a bit. Maybe get some tea and some of those delicious chocolate cookies your Mother was planning to make?” Tony said in a gentle voice.
Kitty quickly nodded and walked away.
“Shall we go to your office?” Tony said as he walked to a door across from her bedroom.
“I am not going to apologise!” Grace said as she walked in and sat down on
Do you think Tony was right and what was Kurt thinking? Till next time my little Syndicates, take care!
Tony was having a business meeting with Xan in his office. He suddenly heard a knock on the door. “Come in!” Tony snapped and Kitty walked in nervously. “Well, Kitty?” Tony snapped “ I am sorry Sir, but she has refused to eat again!” Kitty said quietly. “Dam it!” Tony cursed and banged his fist down on the desk shaking the teacups. It had been three days since Grace had eaten and she only came out of her room for the bathroom. Tony knew he had broken her heart, but it seemed like he had broken her spirit too. “Why don’t I go and talked to her?” Xan suddenly said. “ You?” Tony said surprised. Xan shrugged and said, “I have a sister about Grace’s age and what is the harm in let me try?” “I suppose there is no harm in you trying. Kitty, please show him to Grace’s room” Tony ordered. Xan got up and followed Kitty to Grace’s room. Kitty knocked on the door, but as expected there was no answer. Xan pushed
A month later, Grace sighed with contentment. She had accepted that her life had changed beyond recognition. Even though she missed being a doctor, Grace's day was filled full of activity. Erin had indeed been teaching her etiquette, but not the traditional sort; the Gang variety! Grace had learnt how to read a room, tell if someone is lying, how to look strong and confident, the basic rules of gangs, the structure and even the Gang code. That was just the start! Andrew sessions were also enjoyable once he stopped been an arsehole. Andrew was simply delighted when he found out that Grace was fluent in Spanish, French and Mandarin. When asked how she knew this, she explained that there was a lot of downtimes when the clinic closed in Senegal. Her team was made up of a Spanish and Chinese Doctor with a French nurse. They all decided to teach each other their Mother tongue to help the team bond and their minds occupied. Andrew helped her practice those langu
Grace was called into her Grandpa’s office from the stables. Grace was relieved as she thought that she might have an excuse to get out of Lucas’s dance session. When she walked into the office, she saw Xan and Mrs Farthing were sat waiting for her.“Hello Grandpa, what can I do for you?” Grace asked worriedly. "Why was Xan and Mrs Farthing here? Had she done something wrong?" Grace thought.“Ah Grace, welcome! I have some good news for you, please take a seat next Xan!” Tony said.Grace did and said, “Ok Grandpa, what is the good news?”“Xan has asked Formal permission to Court you and I have agreed!” Tony said brightly.“Court me?” Grace said blushing deeply and feeling extremely embarrassed. She wished the floor would swallow her up just about now!“It is just an old term for dating Dear, because of your position Xan had to ask Tony!” Mrs Farthing
Xan watched Grace walk down the stairs and tried very hard not to stare at her too much, he did not want to scare her off after all! He could not believe his luck when Grace had so easily agreed to try him out. Xan made sure that he planned the date down to the last detail. But, as soon as he saw he could not remember a single detail. Grace was too busy concentrating on walking downstairs in far too higher heels to notice Xan’s lustful stare. “Why did I let Kitty talk me into wearing these stupid heels?” Grace thought. The momentary lapse of concentration resulted in Grace twisting her ankle and falling down the last couple of stairs. Xan instantly dropped his large bouquet of orchids and rushed to catch her. Grace was suddenly staring into Xan’s caramel brown eyes and could feel herself getting lost. “Are you ok?” Xan asked, his voice full of concern. “Oh my God! I am so sorry, Xan!” Grace squealed as she righted herself. 
Grace loved the fact that she was alone for the first time in weeks, alone and free. She did not know what had come over, whether it was the fact she was tired of men trying to control her or she needed space to breathe, but she had easily climbed out of the window! She had taken off her ridiculous shoes and slung them over her shoulder. Grace ran into the park enjoying the moonlight and fresh air, stopping briefly to look at a fountain. When she walked to the other side of the park and noticed a hospital. Grace walked over there with a smile on her face. Meanwhile, Xan and Hank were waiting anxiously for Grace to return. After 20 mins, Hank sensed something was wrong. “Mrs Ling, could you please check the loo to see if Dr Evans is OK?” Hank asked. Mrs Ling nodded and hurried to the female loo. She came back a couple of minutes later, her face white.“I am afraid she is not in there!" Mrs Ling said. “Shit! I knew she was upset!”
So, you know what you are doing Li Wei? Go easy on her today, she been through a lot” Xan instructed. “Yes Master, I will give the Lady what she needs!” Li Wei said in a strange tone. “Excellent, Denug and I will be in the meeting if there are any issues!” Xan said as he and Denug walked to Tony’s office. “Do you think it is wise to have Li Wei teach Grace today?” Denug whispered. “Yes, why not?” Xan asked surprised. “Well, you did reject his Sister’s advances!" Denug said seriously. Xan laughed and said "I rejected a lot of women, you know that. I am sure there were no hard feelings. Besides, he would have to have a death wish to hurt a single strand of hair on her head! I think we should be more worried about this meeting, who knows how Tony is going to take the news about events last night!” Denug nodded and they both walked into Tony’s office. ============================================= “Ouch, Li Wei
Grace knew the theory of being in a coma, but that was completely different from being in one. It felt like she was floating in a black sea, where she occasionally heard snippets of people’s voices. Grace had heard her Grandpa’s angry voice asking why she had not woken up yet. She had also heard Xan’s voice asking for to wake up, along with Kitty’s sobbing. Grace tried to concentrate on the voices that brought medical updates. She had heard the Doctor say she could have a bleed on the brain and needed to be moved to a hospital. Another Doctor saying she needed to have emergency surgery to release the pressure and now it was a matter of time for the brain swelling to go down. “We don’t know how much damage has been done, is any until she wakes up. She is off the ventilator, which is a good sign!” The Doctor had said. Grace had mused how much people talk when they think you can’t hear. Grace had heard her Grandpa crying and Hank trying to comfort
Grace opened her eyes and found herself blinking against the harsh light. “It is alright Grace, you are in hospital. Can you hear me?” A friendly Nurse asked. “Yes!" Grace said with a sore throat. “That is very good Grace. Tell me can you feel me doing this on your toes!” A Doctor with grey hair and glasses said as he pricked her toes. “Oww yes, Doctor! Please rest assured all of my nervous systems is fully operational!” Grace moaned. “Ah, I forgot you are a Doctor, Nurse Smith can you please give her a drink. I am Doctor Reed, and we have been looking after you. You came in with substantial injuries including a punctured lung, broken arm and bleeding on the brain. We operated to reduce the pressure and fixed you up!” Doctor Reed explained whilst Grace sipped some water. “Hang on why is my arm not in a cast?” Grace said. “You been in a coma for 3 months Dr Evans!" Nurse Smith said gently. “No, that can’t be
Kurt had to get out and have a walk. It had been three years since he has finished his rehab and he had been clean since then. He was happy about that, just like he was happy that he had eventually become friends with Grace and Xan. Such good friends in fact, that he was visiting them now in Beijing.Xan and Grace had been amazing hosts, even allowing him to stay at the penthouse suite in Xan’s most exclusive hotel. It was just, well truth be told Kurt was as jealous as hell of what Xan and Grace had. They seemed so in love, like two parts that made a whole. It was clear that Xan would die for Grace in a heartbeat, and she would do the same. “Even their kids were ridiculously adorable!” Kurt thought. It was true Edward and Chynna were capable of winning the hearts of everyone they met, including his. Kurt just wanted to find his soulmate and start his own family.“Easier said than done!” Kurt thought as he turned down a street. Kur
Seven months later Grace was having A cup of raspberry leaf tea overlooking the amazing garden and lake. She was contemplating how her life had changed in the last two years. She had gone from a quiet shy Doctor, who was happy to spend time in Senegal, To Phoenix and a married woman with a pixie cut. Grace had done things that she never thought she could do! Grace also now had a family, something she had craved from a child. Even though they had been married in England, they still had a wedding in China. It was more colourful and extravagant than Grace could’ve possibly imagined. Grace was embarrassed at all the attention, but when she saw how happy it made Xan, she felt happy too. The Triads had been so welcoming to her and so had the Syndicate. They were simply delighted that she could speak Mandarin and was so highly educated. When they found out the fact that she was expecting twins as well, they were practically bursting with

Tomorrow will be the last chapter and it will have no violence in*****Anderson’s Mansion - Tony’s Office“Well, Xan has just rung and said that they have safely touched down in Beijing! “ Hank said happily to Chris and Tony.“Very good. I wonder in which property they will stay in?” Tony said.“I bet you any money it will be Taohuayuan!” Chris said.“Ah yes, it would make sense from a security point of view,” Tony said stroking his chin.Taohuayuan, which roughly translated to Utopia, was a 33 bedroom mansion on its island in the Dushu Lake. It was a truly stunning location, with vast gardens. Tobias was already been prepared to be transported, in first class of course!“Oh, I think our Granddaugh
Xan instantly stood in between Grace and Kirk, there was no way on this planet that he was going to let anyone near his new Bride!“What are you doing here Kurt? You are not welcome here!” Xan growled.The guests were streaming out of the doors and when they saw it was Kurt they sprang into action. Denug stood near Xan, as did Theo. The two Grandparents were been guarded by Hank.James put his head in his hands and said “Kurt, come on man! Really?”“Look I’m not here to cause any trouble!" Kurt said softly with his hands up in a surrendering sign.“You are joking, right? The last time you saw Grace, you put her in the hospital! The other issue is that you felt that you had a right to marry my wife! On top of that, Grace has just been rescued from one of your gang members! That is after Nancy arranged the kidnapping of my sister! So, please excuse me if you didn’t get a wedding invite!” Xan roare
“You are pregnant? With twins?” Xan said astonished. He had always wanted a family but never thought it was going to be possible until recently. Now his Goddess had not only said she give him another chance but was pregnant with his children!“Are you alright?” Grace asked concerned. He looked pale and had been quiet for a few moments.“Alright? I am happy beyond words!” Xan said grinning from ear to ear. He kissed her passionately on the lips and said “What did I ever do deserve you my little Phoenix?”“I don’t know! I still think you kind of an arse hat!” Grace teased.“Well, you are right again of course. But I am never letting you go now, you do understand that right?” Xan said seriously and Grace chuckled.There was a quiet knock at the door and Anne popped her head around.“I am glad to see that you worked things out!” Anne said happily as s
“JAMES!” Annie shouted as she managed to catch a fainting Grace.“Sweetheart? What is wrong?” James shouted back as he ran up the stairs and opened the door. He saw Grace on the floor, with Annie putting her in the recovery position.“Call an ambulance now!” Ordered Annie.“It probably just low blood sugar level, if we ..” Theo said as he popped his head round.“No! We need an ambulance!” Annie snapped.“Anne?” James said he could see Annie was worried. Annie had dealt with Grace’s low sugar levels for years, yet she was concerned.“She’s pregnant!” Annie said staring at James. Instantly, James felt a mixture of pride and concern. Pride that Anne trusted him enough to trust him that information, but obviously concern over Grace.“Shit!” Theo cursed. His Dad was going to kill him if anything happened to either of them!
"Who the fuck are you?” Roared Jason.“I am Theo Evans! Leader of the Mad Dogs, son of a Gang Founding Father, Brother of Edward Evans and Grace’s Uncle! Now, you can either put your Dick away and walk out of here or....” Theo said.“Or what?” Jason said.“Or you can be stupid and try to shoot me with that gun!” Theo said.Jason of course was stupid and tried to shoot Theo. Theo saw it coming a mile off and disarmed him easily, breaking Jason’s wrist in the process.“You stupid Fuck! I am really going to enjoy watching them rip you apart!” Theo said.“Boss?...Shit!” Frank said as he came in and saw Grace bound, naked and bloody.“Prepare this Cunt for travel along with the Tramp. I will sort my Niece out, make sure no guys come in here, understand?” Theo said.Frank nodded and dragged Jason by his hair. Theo quickly got his knife out
“Who the fuck is it?” Tony snapped as he accepted the call.“I don’t why you are so angry you fucking dried out ball sack! I should be the angry one!!” Said a man roughly Tony’s age.His hair was now grey, but that did not hide his piercing green eyes that did not look like they missed much. The man was English by his accent.“I don’t have time this Chris and stopped using the Chairman’s line!” Tony snapped.“Not have time for this? NOT HAVE TIME FOR THIS?!!!!! YOU ARE LUCKY I AM NOT COMING OVER THERE TO GUT YOU LIKE A FISH!” Chris shouted.Xan was about to interrupt, but Hank made the signal not to.“I did what I thought was best!” Tony said.“Tell me how keeping my Granddaughter away from me was the best thing?” Chris snapped.“Who has Tony be keeping away from you?” Xan said.“Who the fuck are
**** Trigger warnings- torture and sexual violence mentioned*********"Why are you so surprised, Grace? You don’t think Kurt could have organised this do you?” Nancy said with an evil smirk“You fucking bitch! You won’t get away with this!” Grace hissed. She suddenly felt a sharp pain across her face as Nancy slapped her. Grace tasted blood in her mouth and she spat some of it out on the floor.“Is that the best you can do Nancy?” Grace taunted.“Oh no, my Sweet! I have all sorts of fun activities planned for you! But first, we have a short message to record. Now put her in the car trunk!” Nancy ordered.“Fuck you!” Grace screamed as Frank put her in the trunk of the Black MercedesBut before Frank slammed down the trunk lid, he whispered to Grace “Boss says help is on the way!” Grace nodded and the trunk lid was put down.“I presume the cont
