Xan instantly stood in between Grace and Kirk, there was no way on this planet that he was going to let anyone near his new Bride!
“What are you doing here Kurt? You are not welcome here!” Xan growled.
The guests were streaming out of the doors and when they saw it was Kurt they sprang into action. Denug stood near Xan, as did Theo. The two Grandparents were been guarded by Hank.
James put his head in his hands and said “Kurt, come on man! Really?”
“Look I’m not here to cause any trouble!" Kurt said softly with his hands up in a surrendering sign.
“You are joking, right? The last time you saw Grace, you put her in the hospital! The other issue is that you felt that you had a right to marry my wife! On top of that, Grace has just been rescued from one of your gang members! That is after Nancy arranged the kidnapping of my sister! So, please excuse me if you didn’t get a wedding invite!” Xan roare

Tomorrow will be the last chapter and it will have no violence in*****Anderson’s Mansion - Tony’s Office“Well, Xan has just rung and said that they have safely touched down in Beijing! “ Hank said happily to Chris and Tony.“Very good. I wonder in which property they will stay in?” Tony said.“I bet you any money it will be Taohuayuan!” Chris said.“Ah yes, it would make sense from a security point of view,” Tony said stroking his chin.Taohuayuan, which roughly translated to Utopia, was a 33 bedroom mansion on its island in the Dushu Lake. It was a truly stunning location, with vast gardens. Tobias was already been prepared to be transported, in first class of course!“Oh, I think our Granddaugh
Seven months later Grace was having A cup of raspberry leaf tea overlooking the amazing garden and lake. She was contemplating how her life had changed in the last two years. She had gone from a quiet shy Doctor, who was happy to spend time in Senegal, To Phoenix and a married woman with a pixie cut. Grace had done things that she never thought she could do! Grace also now had a family, something she had craved from a child. Even though they had been married in England, they still had a wedding in China. It was more colourful and extravagant than Grace could’ve possibly imagined. Grace was embarrassed at all the attention, but when she saw how happy it made Xan, she felt happy too. The Triads had been so welcoming to her and so had the Syndicate. They were simply delighted that she could speak Mandarin and was so highly educated. When they found out the fact that she was expecting twins as well, they were practically bursting with
Kurt had to get out and have a walk. It had been three years since he has finished his rehab and he had been clean since then. He was happy about that, just like he was happy that he had eventually become friends with Grace and Xan. Such good friends in fact, that he was visiting them now in Beijing.Xan and Grace had been amazing hosts, even allowing him to stay at the penthouse suite in Xan’s most exclusive hotel. It was just, well truth be told Kurt was as jealous as hell of what Xan and Grace had. They seemed so in love, like two parts that made a whole. It was clear that Xan would die for Grace in a heartbeat, and she would do the same. “Even their kids were ridiculously adorable!” Kurt thought. It was true Edward and Chynna were capable of winning the hearts of everyone they met, including his. Kurt just wanted to find his soulmate and start his own family.“Easier said than done!” Kurt thought as he turned down a street. Kur
Grace was walking home from another heavy day of lectures. She was in her first year of medical school and managed to get into Sheffield University on a scholarship. This was vital for her, as been an orphan she did not have a family to fall back on. As long as she was careful with her loan, she could survive. Unfortunately, that meant walking home from the University to her cheap student house every day.Grace would not mind so much if it was not for the fact she had to carry so many books on her back. Grace was of average height at 5 foot 8, with mouse-brown hair that fell just below her shoulders. She often, like today had it tied up in a practical bun. Her eyes, which she considered her only beauty, were sea green. Grace shifted her backpack on her shoulders again. “Not long now,” she thought as she turned down an alleyway that cut between two houses. It was a shortcut that Grace often used. When she turned the corner she gasped. There was a yo
Kurt woke up to the sound of the gentle beeping of a heart machine. It took him a few moments to realise that he was actually in a hospital room. His head was banging and his body ate all over. One of the last thingS he remembered was those dick heads threatening to cut off his ear over a £50 Debt. He then remembered A young woman stabbing him and then he was able to breathe better.Kurt heard a voice that sounded as sweet as an Angel’s “You alright?”Kurt moved his head slightly and saw a woman with Miles brown hair and the most extraordinary eyes looking at him with concern. “Are you alright? I will get the doctor to come in and check you over.“ The woman stood up and Kurt felt the odd sensation that he did not want her to leave. She left the room and then came back with a male Doctor.“Ahh Mr Blackwood, it is great to see you that you are awake. You have suffered from a collapsed lung, which would’ve been
Seven Years Later.“Come on Kurt, you been at that paperwork for hours! You are hardly home anymore, let’s go and celebrate!” James pleaded With Kurt.Kurt just smiled, he had built his empire over the last 7 years and his friend had always been at his side.“I can’t believe you are the Head of my operations up North!” Kurt teased.“Is that what we calling it now? Operations?” Mocked James as he took a cigarette and lit it. After inhaling the first puff James stared at Kurt.“Kurt, you are head of the biggest “operation” in Europe and on top of that you are CEO of an extremely lucrative technology company!” James pointed out.“What is your point, James?” Kurt said. He could sense that James was about to give one of his famous “Stop and smell the roses” speeches.“My point is that you need to stop
“It’s him!” Grace said as she saw Kurt.“Who?” Anne asked confused“Give me a minute Anne!” Grace said as she got up and walked over to the Bar.“Yes, it definitely him. A little older perhaps, but it is Kurt!”Grace thought.“Kurt?! How nice it is to see you!” Grace said with a smile, not sure how to greet him.Kurt did not know what to say, he completely froze up.“Goddamit say something!” Kurt thought as there was an awkward silence.“Erm, anyway I just wanted to say thank you for the champagne. You did not have to, but it has made my best friends birthday extra special, so thanks!” Grace said calmly.Kurt coughed and managed to speak. “You are most welcome Grace!” Kurt said.“Would you like to come and share it with us? Maybe catch up on the last 7 years?” Grace said, trying to
Grace got up early, she was used to working on lack of sleep. She made herself a cup of coffee from the room’s refreshment tray. She was just about to pop in the shower when she heard a knock on the door.“Who could that be?” she wondered as she opened the door. A Maid and the bald man with a white beard stood in front of her.“ Excuse us for disturbing you Doctor, but we been instructed to upgrade you to the Penthouse Suite!” The man said“I think there has been some mistake. I am perfectly fine. Besides I am unable to afford such luxury!” Grace said. She could see the two members of staff were nervous for some reason.“I assure you there has been no mistake, the Boss was very adamant!” The man said.“The Boss?“ Grace asked confused“Yes Miss, Kurt Blackwood” The man explained.“How is he your Boss?” Grace asked still confused. She t
