Grace's POV

I did my best to hold back the tears, but they fell anyway as I walked down the aisle, thankfully hidden from the excited guest by the veil over my face.

It was my wedding day with Victor Mason. My mom had been radiating with joy ever since our wedding date was picked. When the wedding planning began, she was extraordinarily happy. I had to pretend to be happy in order to avoid raising suspicions.

Victor sent me more than enough money to prepare everything for my family. He specifically instructed me to ensure that the food was lavish and to buy my mother an expensive outfit. He was also the one who purchased my wedding gown and all the accessories that came with it. They were incredibly pricey, and honestly, if I had received that money instead, I could have built a house with it because the gown was just far too extravagant for my budget.

    Jill's anger boiled over as his bodyguard returned to inform him that Ashley's security had refused to let them in. “Did he give you a reason?” He asked, his face twisted in rage. “He said Miss Ashley had instructed him not to open the door for…you,” The bodyguard said with his head lowered. A low, menacing chuckle rumbled in Jill’s throat as he clenched his fist. Ashley’s sudden cold shoulder had started after she had lost the investment opportunity to Jack. “Open the door,” Jill growled, his voice low and deadly. His Bodyguard quickly got the car door opened for him and he stepped down, pounding the ground with furious steps. “Open this gate,” Jill bellowed at Ashley’s security, his voice sending a shiver down the man’s spine. “Miss Ashley would get me sacked if I did,” the security stammered, his body trembling with fear. Jill's jaw clenched in rage, his fist tightened. With a swift signal to his bodyguard, he lunged at the security without hesitation, delivering a brutal pu

    Victor Mason woke up to find Grace’s side of the bed empty, which was unusual as she was a late riser. Groggily, he sat up and yawned, calling out, “Darling, are you in the bathroom?” But there was no response. Still half asleep, he got up and went to check on her. His gaze landed on the wardrobe, and his eyes widened in confusion – Grace's side was almost empty. He rushed over to confirm what he was seeing, and clearly enough, most of Grace's dresses were gone, and a letter lay in plain sight. With a racing heart, he snatched up the letter, and tore open the envelope. His eyes scanned the content and his heart skipped a beat as he stared at a divorce paper. His body stiffened, frozen in shock as he tried to make sense of what was happening— Grace had disappeared without any explanation, but a divorce paper. They had been good before going to bed; what could have happened? Had Isabella confessed to her? Victor's anger boiled over as he grabbed his phone, his fingers trembling wit

    “The more you hide, the more you hurt your wife’s feelings,” Isabella said, her voice trembling. Victor’s gaze locked onto hers, his nose flaring with fury, but he remained speechless.Isabella continued, her tears falling. “She knows you’re hiding something from her, and it’s breaking her. She's scared, Papa. Scared for the family.”“Why can't you just tell her whatever it is?” She stammered, her voice breaking. Victor’s jaw clenched, his eyes had already turned red from anger. “You think you can tell me what to do?” he spat, his voice dangerously low. “I love my wife so much and that's why I'm doing all this. Isabella, be careful.” “Then leave me out of this,” Isabella snapped, her voice choking with tears. “I don't feel safe with you again. I wake up scared everyday. Please, let me do my life if you're not ready to open up to your family.” she pleaded, her voice trembling as tears streamed down her face. Victor's eyes narrowed, his voice low. “If you love your parents, zip you

    Isabella jolted awake at the loud knock on her door. Groggily, she grabbed her phone, the screen lighting up to reveal the time— she had only managed to sleep for two hours, her burdened heart had kept her awake late. A loud yawn escaped her throat as she rubbed her eyes, and then stumbled towards the door. “Good morning, ma’am,” Nancy greeted with a smile. “Nancy, good morning. You disturbed my sleep, what do you want?” Isabella replied, still yawning. “I'm sorry, ma’am. Master sent me to tell to get ready; you need to go to the family house with him,” Nancy said gently, her words instantly clearing Isabella’s fogginess.“The family house?” She repeated, raising an eyebrow and Nancy nodded in response. “What's happening there?” She asked, her voice laced with unease.“I don't know ma'am but I don't think it's something bad,” Nancy replied, her expression reassuring, but Isabella’s anxiety still lingered.“Are you sure?” Isabella pressed. “Yes, ma’am,” Nancy replied with a smile.

    In the Brooks' Mansion“Kim, why are you here without prior notice,” Mr. Brooks said, his face stern and cold. Kimberly’s arms wrapped tightly around herself, her expression cold. “I’m here to see my child,” she said, her voice firm.“But you know she doesn't stay here,” Mrs. Brooks said, her nose flaring with frustration. A low, menacing chuckle escaped Kim's lips, her eyes blazing with rage. “You’ve been denying me the opportunity of seeing my daughter…..my own flesh and blood.” “The daughter we adopted and raised as our own,” Mrs. Brooks snapped, her voice raised in fury.“Kim, if you are not careful, we’ll take legal actions,” Mr. Brooks added, prompting a mocking laugh from Kim.“Go legal,” she repeated, chuckling. “But don't forget your dark past,” she added, her lips curling into a sly grin.Mr. Brooks bit his lower lip in frustration, “What exactly do you want from us?” He asked, his voice laced with exhaustion. “My daughter!” Kim replied sharply.“But she doesn't want you

    “You have no idea how much I detest you!” The woman spat, her jaw clenched. Isabella’s body was trembling uncontrollably. At that point, her only prayer was for the ground to open up and swallow her.“Watch your back,” The woman said again, her voice deadly low. She shoved Isabella aside and stormed past her, nearly knocking her off balance. Isabella’s muscles tightened as she struggled to stand, and then stormed out of the house. “Are you okay, ma’am?” Isabella’s bodyguard said, rushing to her side. Noticing her rapid breath, he sensed danger and instinctively moved to storm into the house to find out, but Isabella weakly restrained him. “Don't worry, let's go.” Isabella whispered, her breath heavy as she handed over her bag to him.
