Extra Story - How Not to Marry a Mysterious Billionaire (Part 6 - Grace)
“Stop swinging your legs like that! It looks like a tremendous duck!” Elisabeth scolded Grace for the millionth time that day, causing her to stop nervously shaking her legs as she sat in the waiting room of the restaurant where her parents had taken her to meet her mystery fiance “And stop biting your lip or you'll get lipstick on your teeth! God, I never met a girl more slovenly than you! How can you be my daughter?”
“Shut up and stop causing an uproar!” Michael growled in a low tone, reaching over to grab his wife's arm after seeming to have finally finished confirming the reservation with the waiter who had accosted them the moment they set foot in that huge restaurant and who screamed exclusively "We have to make a good first impression on our son-in-law!"“Don’t you dare talk to me like that!” Elisabeth spat, moving her arm away from his grip, but at least in a lower tone “Do you have any idea how long it took me and how much makeup I had to spend to make her even remoteRelated chapters

"And this is where Simon's old room used to be." Mrs. Dickinson announced excitedly, opening the door for Simon and Grace to enter “I left him as he always was, at his request, but it breaks my heart to see how simple everything here is. Especially now that his help has made our children's rooms so beautiful and cozy...”"It's just as cute as he is..." Grace sighed, making Mrs. Dickinson laughs and Simon blushes.“Well, that was the last place I wanted to show your girlfriend. Oh, I'm always so happy to see you here again, my boy..." the old lady sighed, going to hold Simon's face by the cheeks as she had done since he was abandoned at the door of the orphanage, in a box, as a baby "And even happier to know that now you knew what love was. I've never seen you so happy before, not even when I was giving you extra time on my living room computer.”“It was great meeting you too, Mrs. Dickinson.” Grace smiled, looking genuinely thrilled to be there “It was so amazing to see the

“And finally, I want to thank our lead developer, Grace Evans, for making this indie initiative the game of the year.” Timothy Collins, the owner of the game development company Grace had been working for for almost 6 years, pointed her out from the middle of the row of all the other people who had worked alongside her on that project “This award belongs to all of us, folks. Thank you again."At the sound of that last sentence, the audience rose to applaud them and, right in the front row, Grace saw Simon, sitting next to Timothy's husband, with that beautiful smile on his face, looking at her as if he were seeing a Goddess on top of that stage, instead of a human being. And as thrilled as she was that her most beloved work had won the award that was every developer's dream, Grace couldn't wait to step off that stage and give her husband a hug.Finally, after another round of applause, she and her co-workers were finally able to step down from the stage and, without even worry

She could do this.The past was in the past and that scared, easily intimidated Andy was no more. She had been locked in that broom closet, with her hands bleeding and at the bottom of that lake, on that dark night, so many years ago. Now there was only Andrea Vamcap, a competent lawyer and part of a family she would never allow to fall apart, if only because she hadn't had the courage to face her memories and meet with the only person who could save the Vamcaps from Alphonse in that moment."Ms. Vamcap.” a female voice called and, as he turned around, Andy realized that she had been so deep in her own thoughts that she hadn't even noticed that the smiling secretary had returned and was now standing beside her “Mr. Ferrars will see you now. Please, follow me.""Thanks." Andy groaned, his throat raw with nerves.Biting the inside of his cheek to force his body to hold steady, Andy followed the woman to a private elevator and then down a wide hallway that certainly could have held an ent
How to Divorce a Grumpy Billionaire Prologue - Rose
“What does that mean?!”The sound of her husband’s growl made Rose swallow hard, but not out of fear. After spending an entire year preparing for this moment, she really had thought that she would be calmer and even content at this moment. But, as she turned towards Aaron, Rose realized that the only thing she had done was fooling herself. Because, seeing him standing in the middle of that office, his suit jacket tossed aside, the top buttons of his shirt undone, his dark brown hair disheveled and his eyes as dark as a moonless night covered in na expression of revolt , as if she had just cheated on him, Rose couldn’t help but remember the day they had become husband and wife in that same office. Of course, the version of Aaron that was before her now was very different from the man she had met that day and, maybe that’s why her heart was so tight when she had to say that sentence.“These are the divorce papers.” She explained, adjusting her glasses nervously on the bridge of her nose
How to Divorce a Grumpy Billionaire Chapter 1 - Rose
All her life, in movies and romance novels, Rose Springs had been told so many times that her wedding day was the happiest day of a woman’s life that, even subconsciously, she had believed it would probably be hers, too. But, at that moment, looking down at the mothball-smellingwhite linen pants her mother had forced her to wear, she could only think it was a shame that little dream wedding myth couldn’t apply to her right now.“What the hell, Rose! Fix that posture of yours! Do you want Mr. Vamcap see you bent over like a shrimp and give up on the marriage?” as if that irritated snarl wasn’t enough, a pair of rough hands grabbed onto Rose’s shoulders and straightened them forcibly, surely eliciting a cracking sound from her bones that couldn’t be heard, because her mother still hadn’t stopped her litany. “I told your father those etiquette lessons would be missed at a time like this! But he had to want to skimp on something so important…”“I doubt that Mr. Vamcap would mind if I was
How to Divorce a Grumpy Billionaire Chapter 2 - Rose
Rose imagined many things as she walked through the halls of the huge and imposing Vamcap mansion, being followed by her mother, cousin and sister, arm in arm with her father of the huge Vamcap mansion, while thinking about what her future husband would be like. She imagined him as a decrepit and disgusting old man, as na immature and arrogant boy her age and even as a frightening and ghostly figure, like Bram Stoker’s Dracula. However, when the four finally stopped in front of a large solid wooden door and an elderly man dressed as a butler allowed them to pass, Rose discovered that reality was very different from what she had imagined.Inside the room, which she realized was na office, there were only two people. One of them was a pleasant-looking woman dressed in a well-tailored suit who was arranging various papers on the table, so averse to the uncomfortable atmosphere that prevailed there that it wasn’t hard for Rose to guess that she was probably just responsible for validating
How to Divorce a Grumpy Billionaire Chapter 3 - Rose
Growing up with parents like Michael and Elisabeth, learning to be patient and mask her emotions was not only a necessity for Rose, but also a way to survive, mostly. Which didn't mean, of course, that she had simply become immune to negative feelings and that, from time to time, her temper didn't threaten to get the best of her. Like at that moment.“So, what are you saying…” she took a deep breath before continuing to talk to Jullian, knowing that he wasn't to blame for the situation, as he had even tried to inform her in a gentle way “It's just that your boss won't allow me to leave the mansion because he's afraid I'm working as a spy for my parents, but he won't walk around freely either, because my presence disturbs him?"“Uh…” Jullian looked away, as if he was embarrassed “Those wouldn't be the words I would choose. But, yes, in short, Mr. Vamcap thinks it would be wiser if you could avoid going out too far and avoid certain specific wings of the mansion, as I mentioned yesterda
How to Divorce a Grumpy Billionaire Chapter 4 - Rose
For a few moments, she even thought that her attempts weren't working, but, just as one of the small paper airplanes she was throwing in the air ended up hitting the back of the boy's hands and landing in his lap, Rose hid a smile, as she continued to pretend she wasn't paying attention to him, continued to sit on the grass folding paper into origami figures and more and more paper airplanes and boats. Out of the corner of her eye, she watched the little boy fearfully catch the little plane that had crashed into him, watching him in fascination, before shifting his gaze in her direction and looking closely at the way her hands were moving and folding the paper, until, as she imagined, he began to undo the folding that was in her little hands and try to imitate what she was doing, without much progress, of course. Again with a secret smile, remembering how she and Grace had done the same thing when they were his age and learned to make those paper toys, she started to make an even big
