2024-10-29 19:42:56Grace was sitting in the bathroom, leaning against the door, staring at the floor. Her eyes were blank and there was no emotion visible in them just like on her face. She wasn't shaking anymore and her heartbeat was a lot more stable now. There was complete silence and no movement outside.
She had been motionless for a long time and then slowly looked up. The room was a complete mess, all the bottles were on the floor and there was a small crack on the mirror. She stood up and stared at her reflection again. Her hair was messy, clothes ruffled and eyes blank. Her arms and legs were bruised, a little blood was stuck in her nails and her eyes were red and were dried out from all that crying. Her lips moved a bit but no words came out.
She took off her clothes slowly and as she stood in front of the mirror again, she noticed that there were faded bruises on her body as well which Ava didn't notice earlier because of the dark. She turned on the shower and washed up. She wo

It was a new day and they all were going to see the aquarium that day. Ava was quite excited about it and was all ready for she woke up early that day. Grace was in the washroom and was still getting ready."Babe, hurry up!" Ava called her and was getting excited."Give me a minute," Grace shouted back."We're gonna be late like yesterday..." Ava whined as she pouted cutely."I still have to do my hair," Grace said as she stood at the door, staring at Ava who was sitting on the bed, eagerly waiting for her. She had her clothes on but she still had to fix her hair which was a complete mess at that point. "How about you go down and gather everyone for they were late yesterday and in the meantime, I'll hurry up and get ready..." Grace suggested and was quite hesitant about her reply. Ava looked up and smiled at her brightly."It's a great idea." She said in excitement and stood up, Grace smiled at her reaction and was relieved. "I'll kick them all out
Tomboy and her admirer Taken over by ego
The journey was quite long for the aquarium was on the other side of the city. Elijah was still sitting with Grace for he found that place pretty peaceful, he was listening to some music and had borrowed earphones from Grace while she was looking outside enjoying the beautiful scenery. She was a little calmer than before, maybe because there was someone beside her- someone who didn't question her.Ava was playing with others the whole time, they all sat in the front seats; she didn't even bother to look back at Grace even once, neither did she realize that Elijah was sitting beside Grace. She enjoyed being among people who were loud and
Tomboy and her admirer "Don't tell her..."
When Ava was hugging Grace, her back was towards the open area, Grace noticed Elijah standing at the back, he wanted to walk to them but then Ava started kissing her. He had a disgusted expression on his face and walked away immediately. But as Ava went away, he returned and walked towards Grace; he wanted to confront her and ask what was happening. But he saw her crying on the floor from some distance. He felt bad for her but then remembered they both had lied to him.Grace heard footsteps and wiped away her tears away and grabbed her phone from the floor and was about to get up when she saw Elijah standing in front of her. She flinched
Tomboy and her admirer A little calmer
"I'm sorry..." Ava said from behind and they all turned to look at her at once. She had clenched her hands tightly and looked kinda awkward in that situation for she rarely apologized to anyone. Grace had a blank face while the others were shocked to see that Ava was apologizing to someone but also knew that she was doing it for her pleasure, she needed Grace now.Well yeah, it's true, but she didn't need her but she wanted her, Grace was like a trophy for her which she had to win at any cost. Ava was obsessed with her, she wanted to own her and keep her only for herself, she wanted Grace to just be with her. She wanted to capture her li

Grace felt a cold breeze that sent shivers down her spine, she slowly opened her eyes and was shocked to find herself standing on a bridge. She looked around and realized that it was her favorite place, where she used to hang out with her mom for it was an old bridge and was not used anymore; not many people went there. It had turned a little shabby but the scenery was still as beautiful as before.She smiled as the old memories flashed in front of her eyes. She remembered how happy she used to be when her mom was around and life seemed simple when she was by her side. Grace never felt afraid before; her mother always knew about her sexu

It was 7 in the morning and Grace started getting ready for college for she felt that if she sat there longer she would start overthinking again and it will just give her depression and more anxiety. She was early at college that day so she spent her time in the library before her class started. She loved reading, books took her into a different world and she also learned a lot of new stuff. She got engaged in a book and didn't know when time passed, she got distracted when her phone buzzed, it was a reminder that her class was about to start. It had already been 1 hour since she had arrived at the college.She rushed to the lecture room

Tomboy and her admirer Are they against them?
There was complete silence in that room for a few seconds and Grace was starting to get anxious for William hadn't said anything.He smiled after some time and looked at her. "There is no doubt that she loves you so much and has changed so much, just for you." He said and smiled softly, which he rarely did. "I do think it is partially our fault that's she's this way (anxious and insecure) and I'm guilty of that. I promised my wife to give my children the best life but I think I ruined it. So if there is a way to amend it, I'll surely do it."Grace smiled and was relieved that everything worked out in the end. Alisa was happy for them and hugged Grace while Oliver was confused but accepted them after digestion of the whole situation.William called Cora inside after that and she was confused to see everyone so happy."You chose the right girl, brat," William told her and she smiled and was relieved."Thanks, grandpa."

Tomboy and her admirer Meeting Cora's family
They entered the mansion and the guard guided them to where Cora's family was waiting for her. Three people were sitting in that room, her mom, wearing a red dress and looking like an older version of Cora; her father and grandfather wearing formal, looking similar in looks, the way they sat, and the cold expressions. Grace was quite scared of meeting them. She knew that her parents had accepted them but it was only her mom, her dad was just cooperating for he feared that Cora would leave the country and he wouldn't have an heir. Gabe sat silently in the corner, he also didn't like his dad much cause he wasn't even given a chance after he was involved in the accident. Mr. Oliver Abel just put a title of useless on him and pretty much threw him out of the company.Cora took a deep breath and entered the room, holding Grace's hand for she didn't want to run away anymore, she wanted to face her fear and show them who she was, whether they accepted her or not.Grace was re
Tomboy and her admirer The love phase
It was raining heavily, the weather was slowly getting colder and people started going back to their homes. Some were enjoying the rain, getting wet and dancing on the roads. Some were complaining about the weather while others were enjoying it, feeling at peace as if the rain washed away all the negativity. While some were reminded of the dark past and were crying, the rain accompanying their tears.Ava was still sitting in the cafe, alone but was at ease for she had finally moved on. She was able to get out of her lies and accept reality. Unknowingly, Grace had helped her free away from her past. Ava decided to change herself and become a better person. After thinking for a long time, she took a deep breath and she called her father and told him that she was coming back. Her father was surprised and asked if everything was alright. She replied positively and further told him that she would try to be a better daughter this time. He was relieved and happy; deep down he thanke
Tomboy and her admirer Grace's true love?
"But everything happens for the good. I'm happy with who I am now; I can accept myself as I am and I am loving myself which I never did before." Grace said and looked at Ava, her eyes were a little gentler. Ava started to feel more comfortable. "It's better to just move on. Let's just believe that we were just strangers who accidentally crossed paths and it all led to all this chaos. But I don't hate it, I don't blame you either. Cause it was because of all that that I met someone special and who makes me feel like I deserved to be loved, who has made all of my insecurities vanish." She started smiling without even realizing it. Ava noticed it and realized that she had already lost her and there's no use in trying to get her back for it would just hurt them more. The room was filled with silence again but there was no tension anymore. They were relieved for they had told each other everything they wanted.In that silence, Grace found her answer. It was love that she felt towa
Tomboy and her admirer Ava or Cora?
Ava was standing right in front of her, holding a bouquet; looked at her as if Grace was her everything as if she had finally found her other half. Grace was startled by what had happened but the very next second she glared at her in anger. She was reminded of all those horrible things that Ava had done to her. Ava was confused to see that sight; it seemed as if something had changed as if the person in front of her was a complete stranger. Grace took a deep breath and walked towards the car, ignoring Ava completely for she didn't want to talk to her, she didn't want all that pain back, she had to protect herself this time.Grace sat inside the car and slammed the door. Cora was getting more anxious every second, but she didn't say anything and just firmly held her hand. Grace squeezed her hand lightly and rested her head on Cora's shoulder."I'm okay," Grace said and Cora smiled faintly.They went back to the mansion and everything became normal in no time caus
Tomboy and her admirer "You did enough, darling."
It was evening, the whole day had passed but Grace was still not out of that room. Lia and Austin were getting a little worried for she had not eaten the whole day but they could do nothing but wait for her. The evening passed in no time and the night came and the door finally opened. Grace came out, looking lost and gloomy. She ran to her room without even looking at anyone else. They got a little worried for her because it seemed as though she had cried. They tried to call Cora but there was no reply from her side. Helpless, they went back to their rooms.It was past midnight and Cora finally came back, she looked exhausted and tired. Initially, the meeting was scheduled for next week but she preponed it because she didn't want to be at home that day; she didn't want to face Grace because she was expecting a rejection, she didn't have any faith in herself.Grace was sitting on her bed, hugging the pillow, thinking about what she should do next. Her answer could hurt
Tomboy and her admirer Cora's past...
The sun rays entered the room and fell on the bed, where Grace was lying, looking as pretty as ever. Her hair a little messed up and one foot out of the blanket so that it wasn't too hot or cold. She woke up because of all the sunlight that had entered the room. She turned over and touched the other side of the bed, it was empty and cold. She opened her eyes to see that there was no one, nor on the bed neither in that room. A sigh escaped her mouth as she remembered that Cora was gone away for the meeting. It had been a long time since she had woken up alone, without Cora by her side.She got out of bed after procrastinating for a long time and started getting ready for the day. It was the weekend so she didn't have to go to the college and thus had woken up late and also because Cora was not there, who usually woke her up.She went out of the room and the workers greeted her and gave her birthday wishes. She smiled and thanked them. She went down to the dining area an
Tomboy and her admirer Nightmares of past
Complete darkness all around, even though Grace had opened her eyes and there was pin-drop silence and she stood alone in the center of the abyss. That place seemed familiar even though she could no see anything. Slowly the feeling of anxiety filled her and she froze in place due to fear, not taking any step forward; something didn't feel right, as if it was the silence before the storm.After some time, she could hear a low voice but couldn't tell what it was no matter how closely she tried to hear it. That sound increased every second and she flinched as she understood what it was. It was the voice she heard every time she felt depressed, the voice that told her to die. It became unbearable in no time. She covered her ears but it was of no use."You're useless! No one loves you! You should die instead! A piece of shit! Worthless! Just a burden! Just die!" These words kept repeating and echoing back to her in that abyss. Grace cried and struggled to avoid that- to not
