Only You Chapter 21
Author's POV It didn't surprise Adrian when his office door opened suddenly and he heard shoes clicking against the wooden floor. Who else could it be other than his best friend? It was now like his routine to come everyday to his office just so he could bug him to get updates on Grace and see her face. But she ignored him at every chance she got, not even bothering to spare a glance at him. "To what do I owe the pleasure?" Adrian sighed looking up from his laptop, "this time?" Ashton gave him a cheeky smile before inviting himself to sit on the chair. "I need to know a few things," Ashton answered. Adrian scowled at his response, not knowing what he was talking about. "That is?" He asked. Ashton pressed his lips in a straight line before fishing for a paper in his coat's pocket. He slipped out a folded paper and handed it over to Adrian without saying anything. Adrian gave a careful look to the paper before raising his brow and taking it from his hand. He unfolded the paper and c
Only You Chapter 22
Author's Pov Grace got lost in the starry sky that stole her breath with the shine the stars were sparkling with. She blew some air on her hot chocolate before taking a sip from it. She was in deep thoughts about someone. Someone she didn't want to think about very often but no matter what she did, her mind betrayed her and her thoughts lingered on that specific person. She sighed remembering what had happened earlier. There was no doubt that she loved the surprise and really appreciated the hard work which was put into it. But she didn't want it from the person who did it for her. More like she didn't expect it. She desperately wished it was from someone she liked too. Why was he doing all of this? Sure he had found out the truth of the situation for which he fired her. But why was he ready to give up his ego just to have her forgive him? Would Ashton Knight in his right mind do that? This was the thing that was bugging her from the start and no matter what she tried she couldn't
Only You Chapter 23
Grace's POV I stood in front of the building that I promised to never even look at the last time I walked out of. I hate you Ashton Knight for making me break my promise. If it was up to me, I would have rejected to even be in this project, if only I knew Ashton would pull this stunt. Reluctantly, I took some steps forward, finding myself standing in front of the glass door. The two security guards instantly bowed down to me slightly and one of them opened the gate for me. That made me frown, knowing the last time I came here, I had to open the gate myself. And these guards? Why were they bowing to me? Giving them a confused smile, I walked in. Looking around the classy building, I noticed nothing much had changed. It was just the same as when I left it. More like when I had to leave it. Sighing, I walked forward until I reached the reception area. I saw Valentina busy on the telephone line while flipping through a few pages, trying to look for something. Finally after ending th
Only You Chapter 24
Grace's POV I took agonizingly slow steps to Ashton's office as I didn't want to see his face so soon. Why does he always have to bug me? Upon reaching his office, I gently knocked on the door that was answered with a soft 'come in'. Twisting the knob, I entered the quiet room. "You called me Mr Knight?" Ashton looked up from his laptop and nodded while pointing at the chair, asking me to sit. I obliged to the offer. "Update me on the project," he said while continuing to punch some keys on his laptop. I told him all that he needed to know. I informed him that Stephen had been a great source of help for the project as he had skillfully done all the tasks that were given to him. But as soon as those words left my mouth, I saw his jaw clenching and his fingers folding to form a tight clenched fist. I paused for a bit to see why he was acting that way, but continued after finding no apparent reason. But then he suddenly interrupted me. "I called you here to hear what you had to s
Only You Chapter 25
Grace's POV My last encounter with Ashton was way more than weird. The way he acted, almost actually made me forgive him. I know it's all just an act. Then why does my heart say something else? Is he really sorry for what he did? But why should I consider his apologies? He thinks everyone is just an insect under his dirty feet that he can so likely cripple and walk away without having to care. Damn! Why am I even thinking about it? I have seriously lost my mind. Getting up, I wrapped all my things as it was time to leave. I'm not going to lie but it's been quite hectic for me to come back and forth from my own office to Ashton's office. I mean why can't I just simply work at one place. I need to talk to Adrian and do something about this. Because Ashton has seriously started getting on my nerves. That man seriously just finds excuses to come to my cabin for no apparent reason, say a few words then leave. Then he would come and beg me to go out for lunch with him. When I refuse , he
Only You Chapter 26
Grace's POV After I had called 911, the ambulances were sent immediately and the police came in time to do their job. One of the cops had addressed me to confirm if it was me who had called 911 and asked a few questions which I answered. He then handed me an extra umbrella they probably had and went on with taking care of the scene. Moved away from the scene, closer to my car to look at tha damage that had been done. That bonnet was completely trashed. This would surely cost a fortune. Especially since it was literally a brand new car Adrian had just bought for me. I sighed and turned back to have a look where the accident just happened. A lot of bystanders had crowded the place but then I spotted someone I thought I was mistaken for. Was that Mr Knight standing there? What was he doing here at this time? Just to be sure, I lightly called out for him. But it came out more as a question. "Mr Knight?" He slowly turned around to finally face me. But the look on his face got me worri

Grace's POV I felt my heart thudding against my ribcage as Ashton silently drove us back to his house. I was freaking confused. What the hell just happened in the past few minutes. Ashton Knight kissed me. HE FREAKING KISSED ME ! AND I FREAKING LET HIM!? Why did I do that? Oh my God! How was I going to ever face him after that? Shit I should've pushed him away. I should have even slapped him. But why couldn't I bring myself to take those actions? Why the hell did I stay freaking still!? I'm finally going insane. I was so indulged in my thoughts that I didn't even notice Ashton pulling up the car into his garage. Wow. I really was lost that I didn't even keep track of the time. But what amazed me more was the beautiful mansion in front of me. A total dream house anyone would want to be in. It was a three story, black, gray and white mansion. The tinted glass windows gave it even a more luxury look. I knew he was rich but this house was literally just so pretty. I noticed a few more
Only You Chapter 28
Grace's POV I woke up to the sun rays beaming lightly upon my face as my ears filled the sweet chirping of birds. Stretching my arms out, I groaned, letting my body relax. Damn, I had a good night's rest surprisingly. Slowly looking around, I let my surroundings finally set in, only to realize I was not at home. Shit, how did I forget I was at Ashton's. This made my mind immediately wander off to yesterday's events. When he confessed to me. "I love you Grace. I am completely and undeniably in love with you!" He spoke, caressing my cheeks while looking deep into my eyes. I stayed still. The sudden shock made me speechless. Nothing came out of my mouth. He saw me gaping and therefore decided to break the silence. "Go to sleep," he whispered, moving forward to let his lips touch my forehead to give it a sweet peck. "You are tired. We will talk tomorrow. I promise." With that he moved off the bed and covered me with the blanket. "I'll be next door ok. If there is anything , don't h
