Author's Pov "You look breathtaking," Ashton mumbled against Grace's lips as he continued to push her through the main gates of their home, locked in an intense liplock. Grace was lost in the searing heat of the kiss, her mind hazy with the sensual touches of Ashton on her body. "Too bad, the look's going to be ruined in a few minutes." He led her through the living room pulling her veil off, not having patience to finally make her his. He had given all the staff off for the day to not have any interruptions on their wedding night. The man was so impatient, as soon as the car halted outside the gate, he rushed out from his door to Grace's side, instantly pulling her out and smashing his lips on hers, not even waiting to get in. "Fuck," he let out a groan, cupping her breast giving it a squeeze earning a sinful moan from her lips. "Jump," he ordered and she immediately obliged to his command. His hands went to cup her hips as she wrapped her legs around his waist, instantly feeling t
Five years had flown by, and their once-tiny bundle of joy, Noah, was now a spirited four-year-old with a heart as big as his imagination. It was a sunny morning, and the aroma of excitement filled the air in the spacious kitchen of their luxurious mansion. Today was a special day—it was Grace's birthday, and both Ashton and Noah were determined to make it unforgettable.Ashton, donned an apron with as much determination as he approached his business deals. Beside him, Noah stood on a chair, his eyes wide with anticipation, wearing a miniature apron that read "Little Chef.""Alright, buddy, today we're baking the most amazing cake for Mama," Ashton declared, surveying the array of ingredients spread across the kitchen counter. Flour dusted the air as he attempted to pour it into a mixing bowl, but a gust of wind, courtesy of Noah's enthusiastic clapping, sent the flour swirling in all directions."Yesh Dad! We got this!" Noah grinned, his laughter filling the room.With Ashton's guidan
"I've had enough of you! I left everything for you, and what did I get in return? Nothing! I got nothing! And now, what's even worse is that you are blaming me for the loss you suffered because of your stupidity! You have a nerve John!" Screamed the 30 year old woman at her husband. If it wasn't for her husband's ignorant behavior, they would have been like a normal happy family like everyone else with their son and daughter. But no. John never had time for his wife as he was always busy making money. And recently after suffering a loss in his business, leaving them bankrupt, he blamed it all on his wife with baseless excuses. She had an idea about her husband's drug addictions and so knew what this was all about. She was tired. Tired of having to fight everyday. Tired of dealing with the same drama. At first she thought she could put up with his stubborn behavior, but how wrong she was. He only got worse as time passed. And everything had reached its limit. She couldn't bear to liv
Grace's povI was very tired when I returned home. My legs were numb with all the work, and I wanted nothing more than falling dead on my bed. "Mom I'm home," I announced plopping down on the couch but did not get any reply. Strange. "Mom?" Normally she is always waiting for me in the living room with something nice prepared to eat. I checked the whole house but did not see her anywhere. But then my eyes landed on a note that was lying on the table. 'Gone for grocery shopping honey. Will be back in a few.' Well that explains why the house was so quiet. I took a shower and came out to do my assignment. It was actually tough attending highschool and working at the same time. I was almost done when the shrilling ringtone of my phone distracted me. Sighing, I answered the call. "Hello?" "Is this Grace Miller speaking?" The voice from the other side asked. "Yes. How may I help you?" "We are very sorry to announce that your mother got into an accident and she is currently at the hos
Author's PovHe was greeted by his workers as soon as he entered his office. Many bowed down at him while others did not dare to say a thing in his presence. He only merely nodded at them. He was very cold and stern. A total workaholic. Would talk only to the point. Doesn't care about anyone but his business. Always looking for ways to win and be successful, even after having abundant success. That is what everyone said. Maybe they were all correct. Except they were missing a tiny detail. He didn't care about anyone but he truly cared about his best friend. The only one who has ever been with him in even the most difficult times. They have been together since highschool and both grew up as successful business men. Only that he achieved a little more success than his best friend and owns the number one empire in the world. Not that his friend was very far behind with the second largest business in the world. He took his private elevator to his floor, as he entered his office with prou
Grace's POV After finishing the loads of work my boss dumped on me, it was finally time I reached home, not before buying an instant noodles packet for my dinner. Yep because that is the only cheapest meal I can afford as of right now. After having dinner, I checked my phone to see any important notifications. Having none, I called it a day and slipped into a deep slumber. The whole week went by with nothing serious happening, except for the loads of work, and my boss finally learning my name. He is still the same impossible jackass, but I just have to deal with it as of right now, because I'm in need of money, and this job certainly pays me better than any other I have had so far. I was making my way to the small kitchen in the office to get him his coffee when I saw I had company. I however ignored the man standing there and continued making the coffee. He of course noticed me and decided to start a conversation. "Hey," the guy smiled at me. "Hi," I nodded back at him. "You ne
"Good morning," I wished Mr Knight as I entered his office to serve him his coffee. His ignorant ass of course didn't wish me back. But I was used to it by now. I proceeded to keep his coffee on his desk when I noticed something. He looked a little pale than usual. His eyes looked tired and he was breathing a little more heavily. He almost looked vulnerable. "Are.. are you ok Mr Knight?" I couldn't help but worry. He chose to stay quiet and continue doing whatever he was doing on his laptop. Suddenly his head rocked a little as his hand shot up to clutch the side of his head. "Oh God! Are you ok?" I instantly rushed to his side to keep him in place. His eyes closed momentarily as he released a deep sigh. I placed my palms on his forehead only to find out he was burning. He had a fever, and he was here this early in the morning working his ass off. Is he serious? "Mr. Knight, you have a fever." I gasped out. "Just leave me alone. Get out right now," his voice boomed in the office a
Grace 's PovWe were making our way to this restaurant where he had to meet someone for a business meeting. I was in his car and the tension was thick. The silence was threatening and the hard expression on his face didn't help at all. We were at the restaurant in a few minutes. A guard opened my gate and helped me out. I thanked him softly before moving behind Mr. Knight, as he continued walking in his powerful strides. I had to run a little to keep up with him. We were escorted to a private area by the workers as soon as they recognized Mr. Knight. I saw that the person we had to meet was already there, and we joined him at the table. "Hello Mr Knight. It's nice to meet you finally." He offered his hand and Mr Knight accepted, shaking it firmly. "What is the reason that you wanted to meet me in a hurry Mr. Worthing?" Mr. Knight asked as he took a sip from his coffee. "Well Mr. Knight, I thought of the tempting deal you had offered my company a few weeks back. I have made up my mi
