LOGINGrace's Pov Sleepless nights, loneliness, a cold bed.It was all I experienced during the days Silvano was out of town. I know I haven't given him the best treatment yet but not being here was worse. Luca and Harper are really trying their best. Harper slept with me one time. I couldn't sleep at night and woke up from my nightmare. Luca makes sure I wasn't idle, he makes silly jokes to make me smile, and he even orders takeout for us. They tried to cheer me up and to make me recover fast. Adrian and Elisabetta also came around frequently to see me and check up on me. For some reason, Elisa has been distant. Aside from the time I heard her say sorry, we haven't really spoken. She comes with Adrian and leaves almost immediately after him. The time Silvano called her to come and stay with me while he went out, she tried talking to me, but I wasn't having it. “Do you want to order ice cream, I am having a cake,” Luca said, walking by my side as I walked to the kitchen. “Yes, pl
“Silvano,” Luca's voice pierced through the room and my head snapped to the door. “She is responding,” he said, breathless like he had run all the way to where I was to tell me. Thank goodness. I sighed in relief as joy exploded in my chest and I smiled faintly before remembering Ivanov was about to call the name. I turned to him but saw his eyes were trained on Luca at the door. Should I wait to hear the name or go to Grace? I thought as I stared at Ivanov.It was hard to choose because I wanted the bastard's name so badly, I could already feel the rush of breaking the bastard's bones but I also wanted to be there for Grace. I wanted to be the first face she sees when she wakes up and opens her eyes, so I can tell her I have got her. That she was safe. I stood there staring at the man, not knowing what to do. “Silvano,” I heard Luca call me from the door. Antonio stepped closer to me and touched my shoulder, bringing me out of my thoughts.“You should go to her. She needs you

Grace's PovHis eyes raked down my body again and he trailed his fingers down my body, his eyes on me. He stepped closer to me leaving almost no space between us. I could smell his rich, musky smell which made my heart beat faster than it already was. His hand fell on my shoulder and his fingers slowly moved the robe from my shoulder. My hands, holding the robe against me, fell, and he was able to move the robe. It fell off my shoulder and he trailed his fingers down my exposed arm. Goosebumps erupted all over my skin and I saw him smirk when he saw it. That flirty happy smirk. It made my belly feel a certain type of way that is foreign to me.I didn't know what he was doing, taking his time but whatever he was doing was working because my stomach flipped as he trailed his fingers down my chest to the top of my breast and settled his hand there, his thumb brushing the sensitive skin.His thumb brushing my skin was electric like a jolt went straight to my core making me gasp softly.
Grace's Pov Or did he? He put his hand under my jaw and raised my head to meet his eyes. He didn't notice. Thank God.I sighed.He peppered kisses on my lips before pulling me to him, hugging me.Why is he hugging me? I was confused.He gave my back a gentle rub before pulling away from the hug and looking at me again.This time his gaze was softened and the molten desire in his eyes was replaced by a look of concern. His hands which were on me slowly lowered to his sides and I missed this touch instantly.“Did I...?” he began, his voice into a low, rough murmur.I shook my head, unable to meet his eyes as I looked down at my toes. I felt a sudden cold wave of self-consciousness wash over me as he kept looking at me, noticing my every movement.“Did I hurt you?” He asked, putting his hand on my shoulder."No. No,” I said, shaking my head “No. I am sorry," I whispered, pulling my arms up to cross over my chest in a small, defensive gesture and stepping away from him.“Grace…” he beg

Grace's Pov Silvano was getting dressed while I was in the bathroom having my bath. I don't understand what was going on, only that he asked me to dress up when I was going somewhere.To where, with whom, and why?He didn't answer me. I know I should trust him but when he just comes to wake me an
Silvano's Pov The second Luca said Russians, my blood turned cold.I didn't even need to ask which warehouses. I already knew. I knew the warehouses that were the target. They were my biggest warehouse in Italy. Grace stood up behind me, her hand brushing my arm. “I am coming with you?” she asked,
Grace's Pov The past few days have been boring, and hectic for the others. I barely see Silvano. I don't see him when he comes to sleep and he is gone before I wake up in the morning. It was like he wasn't sleeping in the same room with me. The little information I could get, I got them from Har
Grace's Pov The sound of the gunshot rang in my ears, it was louder than anything I had ever heard. It was louder than the night I first met Silvano. Was it happening again?Everything around me moved in slow motion.I screamed as I saw Salvatore stumble, his hand clutching his chest where the b
