"What happened? Why's your face like that?" Mira asked when I entered the room, she was about to go out. "Where are you going?" I asked, Mira was always hard to find sometimes. Where was she always going? And what was she doing? I was curious."Out as you can see" she replied. "I asked why your face is sullen Mabel, won't you give me a reply?" I was taken aback by her words, since when did Mira start pestering people? At that moment it struck me that I had never suspected Mira, those times she would leave our room and won't come back until night, I was beginning to suspect. Though it was late."I was with the master," I replied."Oh….I see" she said. "Excuse me then, I'll leave you to rest now," she said. Well, she had the wrong idea about what Grey and I had been doing."Don't think such a thing Mira, the master and I didn't do anything!" I said looking embarrassed. "Uh?""Nothing happened between the master and I, we were only talking" "Talking…" she left the words trail off as s
The next morning at Grey's Mansion,"Good morning Sir" a girl greeted as she passed by me. Without responding to her greetings I walked past her towards Martha's room. I met Martha coming out of her room, she looked suprise to find me visit her."Mr Grey?" She said unable to believe that I had come personally to find her. "What is it?" I asked looking irritated."Nothing sir" she quickly replied. "Good morning Sir, and what has brought the master to come here? If I may ask" she said."I'm going for a meeting Martha, so I need you to dress Mabel up. She's the one to escort me today" I replied."Okay okay okay Sir! I'll get her for you sir, may I know the time that the master will set off for the meeting?" She asked, I glared at her coldy for questioning me."Do not ask me any questions!" I snapped and turned my back at her. "Bring Mabel out in thirty minutes" with that last order, I left without looking at her.....Glancing at my wrist watch for the fifth time, I growled. Thirty m
GREY'S POVAfter that, I knew nothing again. Everything after that was not clear to me till I woke up. Sounds of water dripping ws all I heard and I could feel the cold breeze touching me despite being in a room with no window. I knew immediately that I was captured so I put my head down waiting for any sound. I could see water dripping from my hair and my wound was still bleeding gently. I definitely must have lost a lot of blood but that's not what I'm concerned about now. I just hope I'm not dead before my men arrive. That is if they can even get where I am. Damn, I have done stupid plans sometimes. At least if I could fight my way out of this place, I'll be able to run somewhere but I don't even know where I am. "Is he awake? Looks like he's still out." I heard a man's voice. "Are you sure he is not dead?" Another man asked. I could see the shadows of the three people because the room was lit. "No he can't be dead. He was breathing few minutes before I poured the water on hi
Mabel's POV,I was shocked at how events later turned out, the meeting was ruined. Wow! That was one hell of a fight and I couldn't help but be amazed by it, it seemed like the enemies had been preparing for Grey. Then it struck me, the previous day I had overhead Grey talking over the phone with someone about an enemy they had captured, so this was it. The car soon stopped and the guards hurriedly came out, a group of nurse and a doctor were waiting for us. They quickly rushed Lord Fredrick into the hospital.Few minutes later,"What's the condition he is in, doctor?" I asked immediately the doctor that had taken Lord Federick into a ward came out."He is in a critical condition ma'am, although the bullet missed his heart. But he needs to undergo surgery" he replied and walked away when I didn't say anything. What could I say? It's not like I even know the man, my thoughts wandered off to Grey and I suddenly started feeling uncomfortable. Nothing must happen to Grey or else my miss
Grey's POV,Jolting out of bed, I winced as the pain I was feeling couldn't let me sleep peacefully. I stood up from the bed and went over to my wardrobe. I changed my clothes into a towel and went into the bathroom to take a shower. While in the bathroom,I undressed my wound and turned on the shower, the feeling of the cold water on my skin was like rubbing salt on my wound. I quickly turned it off and walked out of the bathroom, fuming with rage. I took out my phone and dialled Ren's number. "Lord Grey?" I heard Ren's hoarse voice and frowned, it seemed like he had been enjoying himself."In the middle of a crisis Ren, you are having fun with ladies! Isn't it?" I asked with an harsh tone."I'm sorry Lord Grey, I was bored and decided to visit the pub* he explained."Leave there this instant and come to the underground" I said and disconnected the call. Keith, that old fool, I'm going to make sure he pays for what he did! Tightening my grip on my phone, I was fuming with anger and
"Lord Grey, it seemed like Keith knew you would be meeting with Lord Fredrick" Ren said as he showed me his phone, I collected it and stared at the photo that was displayed on the screen."Who's this man?" I asked."He has been spying on you for a long time and is also the one who told Keith about your meeting with Lord Fredrick" Ren replied, I stared at the photo for a long time before handing Ren his phone." So what are you waiting for? Go and get this bastard!" I ordered."He's in the torturing room, we caught him on that same day when he was trying to run away" Ren replied, I stood up from my seat. "Let's go there" I said and we started heading to the torture room. From one side of the cell, I could see the informant looking half dead. Ren opened the door of the cell and I walked in. "We've asked him to tell us how he knew you were going to meet with Lord Fredrick but he won't say anything" Ren walked over to the man who seemed to be asleep, Ren was about to kick the chair he w
The next day,Standing in front of the mirror as I stared at my bruised body, all thanks to Mabel that would come each day to dress them. If not for Keith, I picked up my phone and dialled Keith's number. "Keith, are you prepared?" I asked immediately Keith received the call, he was silent for a while. I could easily guess that he was surprised that I had his number and even called him."What do you want Grey?" He asked. "And how did you even get my number?!" He quickly asked."How did I get your number?" I mimicked and laughed a dry laugh. I had gotten Keith's number from the informant we had captured the other day. "Did you receive the gift I sent to you?" 'the gift' I sent to Keith was actually his informant's dead body."Yes I did" he replied and laughed. "Get ready to receive your own gift, Lord Grey" when he called me by my title I could sense he was trying hard to threaten me but I am not a fool to fall into his trap."Really Keith? You have a gift for me?" I asked sounding sa
Mabel's POV,I was angry that Lord Fredrick wasn't comfortable with me around them, well I guessed maybe because he didn't trust me. After all, they are planning to go on a war with Keith and wouldn't want their plan to be leaked.I was curious about what they were saying and decided to eavesdrop on them. Not long after, I heard footsteps and quickly pretended as if I was going to enter the room."Miss please wait a moment!" I heard the doctor's hurried voice and turned to him, I smiled when I saw him and noticed the doctor's red face when I smiled at him."Doctor?" I called and held the door knob, it seemed like what Grey said was true. The doctor's a real pervert! "What is it doctor?" I asked when he got closer to me."Oh Miss?" He trailed off indicating that I should tell him my name."Mab" I replied not sure if I should tell him my full name. "And also it's Mrs, not Miss. Mrs Creed" I quickly added. The doctor laughed and moved closer to me until there was just a little gap betwe
"Mabel wait!" Grey yelled as he grabbed my wrist, my heart was racing fast as he grabbed my hand. Gosh! I had let the cat out of the bag and now I wasn't sure of what to tell him."Mabel," Grey repeated and I turned to look at him, he had the same facial features with my son and I wondered if he ever met Thomas my son, maybe he might guess….gosh! I'm thinking too much nonsense."I'm here," I murmured."Sit Mabel," he ordered but I continued to stand. "Take a seat Mabel," he repeated, after breathing I sat beside him. Grey was still holding my wrist as if I was going to run away if he ever let go of me."So, you have a son?" He asked and I nodded, he was silent for a while and I couldn't let myself imagine what was going through his mind. "How come nobody knew about it?" My heart skipped a beat when he asked that question.What should I say? That I left my son with his nanny all because I wanted to bring Grey to bar? Stupid! I thought for a while as my mind was in chaos, thankfully a l
Mabel's POVA week later, I was lying on Grey's laps as he sat on the couch, he raised his hand and starts stroking my hair gently. "Does it feel good?" He asked when he noticed that my eyes were closed."Mn," I nodded my head and he continued stroking my hair."Can I ask you out Mabel?" Grey suddenly asked."Really?" I asked without opening my eyes."Yes," he replied."I'm in!" I said with my eyes still closed."I'm guessing, where should we go?" He asked without stopping, I opened my eyes and our gaze met . "Do you have any place in your mind?" He asked again, I thought for a while and smiled."Yes," I replied still smiling at him."So, where is the place if I may ask?" I put my head down on his laps and he resumed with hisgesture."Uhm, let's go for a picnic at a park," I replied and waited for his response. "It's going to be crowded," he murmured and I understood what he meant. As a Mafia lord, he couldn't go anywhere freely because enemies could be lurking around so he needee
Mabel's POV,Standing in front of the balcony as I read a daily news on my phone, I frowned when I read the trending news "MAN FOUND DEAD IN A BUSH!" I took a close view at my phone to see the dead body of the man that had been found then, just then my phone rang. I looked at the caller and shivered. Desmond? He must have seen the news and is about to ask if I knew anything about it or maybe I had seen it."Hello Desmond!" I greeted as I received the call."Hi Mabel, how are you doing?" He asked, I could hear loud noises coming from the place Desmond was at and I guessed he was at the scene."I'm fine, what's up with the call?" I asked."Have you seen the daily news?" He asked, I was silent fir a while as I thought of what to give him as a response. "Mabel?" Desmond called when I didn't say anything."I'm here," I replied."I asked a question Mabel, is anything the problem?" He asked, he sounded worried and I smiled to myself."Not really," I replied. "Okay, so I asked if you had se
We got to my underground prison a few minutes later because the car had gone at it's highest speed."Stop here," I ordered and the driver stoped the car few meters away from the underground. Brian turned to look at me."Is Mabel in there? Because as far as I know, this isn't Keith's underground," he said and gave me a confused gaze, I laughed and patted his shoulder."Your cousin is in there," I replied,vhe furrowed his eyebrows and glared at me."Which cousin?""Keith's daughter," I replied and he let out a long hiss."None of them are related to me!" He snapped and got down from the car. Without waiting for me, he started moving towards the underground."Where do you think you are going?" I asked and stood by the side of the car."To save Mabel!" He retorted and continued walking."You won't find her without me," I said again, he stopped and turned to look at me."What the hell are you saying?!" He yelled and took hurried steps towards me, he grabbed my collar when he got to me. "Ar
Grey's POV,As I laid on the bed and thought of ways to stop Brian from coming to my place, Mabel's phone that she had forgotten in my bedroom started ringing, when I checked the caller I frowned. It was the same Brian I was thinking about, just what the hell did he want to tell her?I picked up the phone and received Brian's incoming call. "Hello Mabel," he said and I was filled with jealousy, this guy had his own way of charming ladies which I find annoying and perverting."Stay away from Mabel you brat!" I warned, Brian went silent for a while and then I heard him laugh."Are you not ashamed of yourself Grey?" He asked and continued to laugh."I should be asking you that question little brat!' I retorted and he laughed harder."You're so funny!" He mocked. "Picking a lady's phone call and warning a suitor to stop calling her, that is a very shameful thing to do Grey. Don't you know that?" He asked."Was that how your mother and father got to know each other?" I asked him back and
"What were you both about to do before I came in?" Emma asked as soon as Grey left the ward. I laid back on the bed and covered myself with the sheet, Emma was angry and pulled it away."What is it girl?" I asked and dragged the sheet from her which she dragged from me again."I won't let you sleep until you tell me what the both of you were doing in my absence!" She said and smiled mischievously."What's with that smile?" I asked and grinned at her."Nothing much!" She said and yawned. "So, the both of you thought I already left the hospital and was about to have sex. Isn't it?" She asked and we both laughed."Stop thinking far Emma!" I said while laughing."Stop thinking far Emma," she mimicked and we laughed again. "But seriously Mabel," she turned serious and I stopped laughing."Nothing was going to happen Emma, he was going to kiss me until you came in," I said, my cheeks were feeling hot as Emma continuously stared at me."Are you sick?" She suddenly asked, I frowned and shook
"Mabel?!" The door burst open, rudely interrupting the silence between Grey and I. Emma dashed in looking panicked but when she saw Grey and I, she frowned and relaxed a bit. "Emma?" I called and beamed a smile at her, she smiled back as she approached my bed."Are you alright Mabel?"she asked and I nodded my head, she looked at me not believing what I said. "Are you sure? Or is it that you don't want to tell me," she asked and pouted, I laughed a little at Emma."Why would I lie to you?" I asked, she shrugged and took the second seat beside me."Who knows? Maybe you don't want me to know how much pain you are feeling because you wil be worried," she said and paused. "Emma do you think thar-" I was interrupted by her."I understand Mabel," she said and smiled sadly. "You don't have to tell me," she added and u nodded in agreement."Anyways, how did you know I was stabbed?" I asked, Grey can't be the one to yell her. "Oh! Martha did!" She exclaimed and held my hand. "Martha told us
I woke up to find myself wrapped up with bandage , I looked around me and noticed i was in a ward and there was no one in here with me. The door opened and Grey walked in with a tray of food in his hands, then it dawned on me that he was the one who must have brought me to the hospital. I quickly closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep, I felt Grey keep the food on the table and walk towards me. He took the empty seat beside me and held my right palm, I heard him exhale and bit my lips secretly. "Aren't you feeling hungry?" I heard him say but still didn't want to open my eyes, I couldn't bear to embarrass myself in front of him. "Mabel open your eyes now," he ordered, I sighed and opened my eyes. "I'm sorry, "he starts to rub my palm and I frowned inwardly, just what is he doing?! "If I had come earlier, this would never had happened," he said, I was stunned that Grey could offer an apology. I couldn't believe it and snapped my eyes open to find a pair of blue eyes gazing a
I walked into the building which was a small restaurant and I spotted Martha at a corner, with a bowl of finished soup before her. She was looking out the window and when she noticed me, her face turned red in anger but she tried to keep it in. I walked towards her and sat before her with a questioning look. "Where the hell have you been again Mabel. This is what I hate about you. Keeping me waiting.""What do you mean by that?" I asked, I was confused and at the same time angry with myself for coming here. What connection do we both even have? I don't like her neither does she likes me so I wonder why she has called me here."Don't you dare talk to me in that manner you little wench!" She threatened, I shook my head and stood up from my seat."I'd rather leave than have you talk to me in that manner," I said and was about to walk away when she stood up from her seat and grabbed my wrist."Don't you dare walk out on me!" She yelled."This is not Grey's house where I have to obey you
