"Will you come with me?" Cora asked again and Grace could see that she was anxious and scared, an expression she never expected her to have. Cora was afraid that maybe her words might scare her off and she'd run away again, she couldn't figure out what her answer would be but prayed that she would agree.Grace didn't say anything and looked away; Cora's heart sank for she figured that she was rejected. But then Grace came closer to her rested her head on Cora's shoulder, Cora was confused by this but didn't say anything and waited for her.

They all were walking out of the cemetery when they crossed paths with someone, it was Grace's dad, with Mia by his side. He looked miserable, eyes red, hands trembling, lower lip quivering, and palms sweating. Grace was a little taken back after seeing him in that state, she remembered that it was his birthday soon and he used to celebrate it with her mother. He had a bouquet in his hands, it was of lilies, which were her mom's favorite. Grace was a little happy to see that he still remembered it and her mom was still alive in his heart.She opened her mouth and was about to say something, she wanted to call him dad and apologize to him

It was a new day and Cora was busy preparing everything for Grace in her country for they were leaving the next morning and was also solving some issues of the company. Grace was a little bored and decided to meet her friends for she had not told them that she was leaving the country and she also wanted to thank them for what they had done to her. She informed Cora about it who insisted on going with her. Lia looked at Grace anxiously, telling her that there was a lot of work left to do. Grace refused and told Cora that she should do her work and that she didn't want to disturb her. Cora pouted in disappointment and Grace smiled and ruffled her hair a little and then left the room. Cora was surprised at her action but got excited the next second for she was getting a little closer to Grace. Lia rolled her eyes and as

It was a similar place; the planes echoing loudly, announcements through the mic and crowded area but not so disturbing this time because Cora was holding her hand the whole time and guided her outside. They were a little tired after the 8-hour flight but still had a long journey by car to cover to reach the mansion.Grace dozed off in the car, her head resting on Cora's shoulder, who was quietly admiring her beauty and then working on some company's matters. She had been away for almost two weeks, and piles of documents were waiting for her to sign. Because of the time difference, it was still daytime in that country and that meant Cora had to go to the headquarters to check on everything.They reached the mansion after some time. Grace was amused to see the enormous mansion. The servants stood in two lines opposite to each other, greeting their boss. Cora took Grace's hand and guided her inside the mansion and showed her around. Grace got a little uneasy after seeing

"Get this document signed right now!" Ava ordered an employee and he left the room immediately to do the assigned work.She was sitting in an office and her name was written in front of the door. A pile of documents was collected in front of her and she looked exhausted and frustrated, even though it was early in the morning."When will all this finish? I have to find Grace..." She said and leaned back, staring at the ceiling blankly. She sighed deeply and then closed her eyes.It had been a year since that incident but instead of looking for her, she was working in her Dad's company. There was a reason behind that, she had made a deal with her father- that she would work for him, earn a specific amount in a year and he would help her find Grace and bring her back. She agreed because she knew that she was nothing without him, it was all because of him that she was so arrogant and proud. She wasn't capable of finding Grace alone, let alone bringing her back or ev
