Grace's POVI had given Helen a two-hour bath, not like it was what I wanted to do, but I just couldn't help myself from drifting to daydreaming Davis kissed me! How dare he? What was he thinking?From time to time, Helen would pinch my hand to pull me back to reality, and she did it again.I smiled at her and took her out of the bathtub. I covered her body with a towel before taking her to her bedroom.“Mommy, will you be following us to the mall? Daddy wants to get me new shoes”. Yeah, as promised, he has to buy them. How rich was Davis?“No honey. I'll be here waiting for you to come back” I kissed her hair that I had just used the towel to clean, It was still wet, though. “Alright,” she replied, making me wonder why she wasn't pressing like usual.I brow-dry her hair with the hand dryer before wearing some new clothes. I helped her pack her dark hair that she had clearly gotten from her father before placing her on the chair. She stood on the chair looking at herself in the mi
Davis's POVThe outing with Helen was just awesome, that's the best way I can place it. Like I always say, she has a way of viewing and describing things. I wasn't sure how she was going to act without her mom, but she always surprises me. She didn't only get a collection of shoes, as we both agreed. We had moved to the clothes part of the mall. Helen had picked a lot, and I fucking thank the Lord that I had the money to pay for all of it. “Okay baby, can we leave now?” I asked Helen for the umpteenth time. And like always, she answered,“Just one more” “Fuck!” I cursed under my breath. One more has been more than ten more. Now, I'm beginning to regret why I didn't take Grace with me. At least, she'll be able to stop Helen. Not really because there was no money but because I was damn tired of walking around searching for one dress to shoe, then a jacket and even a hat! Where does she want to wear all of these to? Next time, I'll just ask Adrianna and many more guards to go with h
Grace's POVI sat there watching Helen as she brought out one by one the things Davis had bought for her. What the hell is this man thinking, wasting money like that? Again, I'll have to have a word with him But on second thought, I'll wait for some days or weeks. God!I haven't been able to stop thinking about the kiss. Worse, it's just taking me back to the night when we had…I can't believe I'm actually thinking about this. I want to stop, but I'm finding it difficult to. Whenever I close my eyes, I see Davis, I open it only to feel his presence as well. And I don't know, but why does Helen look a whole lot like Davis now that I'm looking at her closely?I need to stop my mind from drifting to him. I need to concentrate on how to leave this mansion without thinking of a kiss or his hand that kept moving down my lower back or his expensive cologne or his…“Stop!” “Stop what?” Adrianna asked and I blinked,“Huh?” “You said stop. What—”“Oh, I didn't mean… I mean…. Helen should st
Grace's POV“You dare kiss my man?” Lydia got up“I did not, Lydia. It never happened” I tried to explain to her, but I could see the girl vibrating in front of me.“Shut the fuck up! I am Princess Lydia, don't you dare call me by my name!” My first instinct was to run, but I knew I couldn't. Not with Helen standing behind me. I could feel her tremble when Lydia began to walk closer to us, while I walked away slowly with Helen. “Helen, leave here,” I said to my baby but her grip on my trousers only tightened Adrianna, a smart girl I must say, rushed towards us and pulled Helen to herself. I don't know where they had run into, but I heard the door lock.Helen kept yelling from the room they had run into, but I was glad Adrianna had made such a smart move. It was me alone with Lydia. The guards were there standing like a statue staring at us. Now, I'm wondering why they are not doing anything about it. Why aren't they helping me out?“You dare to place your dirty mouth in that of my
Davis's POV"Mr. Davis, I'm sorry but there's nothing you want to say to me. Someone died in your casino. First question, why was a gun allowed in there?" The police officer asked with rage. Not like I feared though.I don't have time for this shit but I remained there staring at him as he spoke. All these while, Vincent was outside making some calls. "I'm not saying a word until my lawyer gets here" I replied with a smirk as I continued to relax against the chair. I haven't said anything other than this since I sat here with him. Truly, he was arguing with himself. "Mr. Davis, there's nothing anyone can do about this. Whether you get a lawyer or the president, the casino will be shut down forever!" I let out a yawn, ignoring his fucking words."Mr. Davis—" The door flew open, Vincent walked in, "Don, Helen," he said with a disturbed look. I hate to see that look on his face, it always tells me that something I might not like is going on. "Hey, you can't be in here!"I took the
Grace's POVIt's been three days since the incident with Lydia. I was asked to remain in bed and I had to obey like an obedient child. Helen and Adrianna spent a lot of time with me, but Davis never showed up. Vincent comes only in the evening with the excuse of bringing my food to me, but I know better than that. He was sent by Davis!He'll ask about my health and about the pain in my waist, like he is doing right now, “Did you take your drugs today?” “Yes, I did” I replied to him with a fake smile. “And my cream?” I asked him because I knew that was the next question, “I applied those too so do not worry too much about me” He nodded with a straight face, I wonder if he ever smiles. His face softens when he is around Helen though. I can't deny the fact that these men love Helen so much. “Okay, finish your food and rest,” he said to me before walking out of the room.I wouldn't be angry if they didn't check on me, all I cared about was Helen, and she is always here or else she wa
Davis POV“Davis, she said she is getting worse. She was shaking when I got to her room” Vincent said the minute he entered into the study.A frown settled on my face, as I dropped the gun I was cleaning with a dry rag, “Didn't you say she was getting better just last night?” “That was what she said, but I don't understand why she is getting worse now. It must be a fever, I've called the doctor” I nodded, that's the best thing to do now. “When do you plan to see her? It's not far from here, you know. It's just a few stairs away” he said with a knowing look and I rolled my eyes at him. Standing up from the chair I was sitting on, I pulled out a stick of cigarettes from the box and lit it. Looking out the window, I said, “I won't be at ease until I place Lydia in her place. That bitch dare to beat Grace up even after I explained things to her?!?”“Well… you didn't explain the part that you were going to be kissing her also" “Fuck you!” I swore at Vincent in rage. Damn! I hate the
Grace's POV“Ah!” I screamed when the doctor held a part of my hips. Of course, I wasn't feeling any pain but pity for anyone who thinks I'll be going anywhere with Davis. I suspected that Vincent will go get the doctor, so I had rehearsed what to do in my head. The only pain I was feeling was now seeing my daughter's pitiful face. “Ahhh!” I screamed when he pressed harder. My face was deep with a frown, I tried to squeeze out tears from my eyes so that it would look more real than before. And suddenly the door burst open, and Davis rushed in.“What the fuck are you doing that's making her scream?!?” He thundered at the doctor.Helen rushed towards him, and he picked her up immediately. “I thought you said she was getting well?” He asked again, anger visible on his face. I wonder how Helen can remain in his arms with that face. He is still handsome alright, but his eyes were something else. Whenever he is angry, his eyes switch from blue to deep dark blue. I could see the fire i
