Only You のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

Author's Pov Grace quickly went to the bathroom to lighten up her bladder, unaware of the foot steps that had followed and were waiting for her in the corridor. After doing her business she quickly washed her hands before drying them and opened the door to step out when she saw a figure waiting for her outside, blocking her way to exit. "What the..." She exclaimed, eyeing up the figure, her eyes widening after finally realizing who it was. "Mr, Worthing?" Her mind recalled the only time she had met him in the restaurant when she was working for Ashton and had refused to take money to betray Ashton for him. "Long time no see darling," he smirked, stepping in the bathroom slowly making her back away from the door. The door automatically shut with a click and her heart rate sped up. "What are you doing here?" She fired immediately. "Now it's not hard to keep tabs on where Ashton Knight is. And you being in the same place is just a cherry on top," he took a cigarette out from his

Ashton's pov After feeding Grace and tucking her in bed, I moved out of the room to let her rest in her privacy. I could take the guest room for today. But before that I needed to do something very important. Taking out my phone, I dialed a number. "Find Elijah Worthing. I need him alive. And I need you to do some things for me," I gritted out trying to contain my anger. "Yes boss," one of my men spoke on the other side of the phone before I hung up. Taking a deep sigh I started moving towards the living room to check up on Adrian and Macy. They were still here, wouldn't leave without knowing if Grace was fine obviously. Stepping into the living room I saw them sitting in the center of the couch with tense shoulders. "She's fine. Woke up for a bit, ate some food and went back to sleep." I informed the couple. Adrian stood up taking a deep sigh and Macy followed him. "I'm sorry about all of this happening at your engagement party. If it wasn't for my enemies, your special d

Author's Pov The busy streets of the city were bustling with the usual hustle and bustle. Grace's mind was occupied with her last interaction with Ashton Knight. The kiss to be precise. She couldn't get it out of her system the whole night. She tossed and turned after leaving abruptly from Ashton's place, realizing the position she had put herself into. There was obviously an awkward tension between them. Why was she even doing all of this? She was supposed to concentrate on the latest project she was working on. As she stepped into the sleek, modern office building, she was greeted by the friendly faces of her colleagues. Today was going to be more uncomfortable she thought as it was the day she had to work from Ashton's office. And there was no way he would not let the day pass without paying her a visit. Grace made her way to her office, ready to immerse herself in the day's tasks. However, as soon as she sat down, her phone pinged with a new message notification. It was Ashton

Grace's Pov "Where's the team?" I looked around to find no one but me and Ashton, as I stepped out from the car he sent to pick me up for the flight. "I thought this was a business tour." "It is, except there are a few changes. It will be just the two of us going. The team will be reporting to us from the office," he explained. "But…when did that even happen? I wasn't informed," this was so confusing, if we were supposed to go as a team then what changed at the last moment. Unless….he never wanted the team to go and just convinced me using that in his defense. Of course Ashton Knight would do something like that. "We're getting late," he didn't answer my question, instead started moving forth until we got to what looked like a private jet. "But Ashton? If they aren't going to be here for the meeting with the clients, how will they catch up on the details?" I was hot on his tail, still trying to get the reason out of him. "You are the head of the project so your being there

Grace and Ashton's day in Italy was a whirlwind of business meetings and cultural exploration. With a busy itinerary ahead, they were up at the crack of dawn, ready to make the most of their time. The charming city of Florence was their first stop, known for its rich history and stunning architecture. Their morning kicked off with a productive business meeting at a local café. Grace and Ashton met with potential partners, discussing strategies and collaborations over cappuccinos and freshly baked pastries. With matters settled, they headed to the renowned Uffizi Gallery, where they marveled at iconic works of art by Botticelli, Michelangelo, and Leonardo da Vinci. Lunch was a quick affair at a quaint trattoria, savoring authentic pasta dishes before rushing off to their next meeting. This time, it was at a modern co-working space, where they joined a brainstorming session with local entrepreneurs. The exchange of ideas was invigorating, offering fresh perspectives on business trends
