Then I noticed that I was immobile, my limbs were impossible to move.A heart monitor was beeping beside me and it's really disturbing.Where am I? How did I get here? I didn't have enough time to brainstorm on my current situation as the door opens gently. I became slightly relieved as Lisa and Steph walked.But something was odd as they stood feet away from me like I have a plague or something. "why are you guys standing over there?""And why is Steph looking like she is about to cry? I asked, my voice coming out raspy and stiff."Can you get me some water?" I asked directly at Lisa. I have a lot of questions but I think I need water first. "How did I end up fucked up like this?""My whole body feels like it got chewed on by a crocodile" I said rapidly after I got my throat moisturized."You had an accident, and you end up like this" Lisa answered me plainl

"wait! I will check who is there" she stopped one of her underlings that was about to open the door. "who is it?" she called out but no one answered, she got the shock of her life as her eyes landed on the person before her. She breathed out in relief but a headache started forming in place of her fear. "what are you doing here?" she asked in a hushed voice scared someone will hear them.

Grace's POV I could barely sleep a wink since I received that bunch of strange roses last night. My worst nightmare is back again, I never imagined this walking time bomb would ever be able to get out of the jail but I guess I was wrong. That horrible jerk is the reason why I'm living like this today. He threw my once happy family into a sea of despair and he is still not satisfied. "What!" I shrieked at Hannah as she tapped me out of my thoughts. I have been snappy and irritated today. "I'm sorry for disturbing you but the phone you ordered is ready," she replied, surprised by my attitude.

Chapter fifteen
Grace's POV Finally I'm out of this damn hospital, even if I can't walk yet it is still preferably that I'm not lying on a bed every hour of the day. It has been three long months, I'm happy I'm going home but I could hardly register what was happening around me as my mind wandered around about that walking ticking time bomb. No day has passed without him giving me a bunch of that annoying flower. I was pushed to by one of Mr Hyde's men because he had to discuss some things with the doctor. My wandering mind wouldn't let me be as my eyes travel to a black car parked not far from us with a window rolled down. Out of the corner of my eyes I saw a hand waving but I pretended not to see it. That jerk! The heavens decided to have mercy on me as Mr Hyde joined us moments later. "Start the car" was all I heard that drove me out of my thoughts. "what are you looking at?" Mr Hyde's hot breath fanned my cheek as he looked outside the window curiously in search of my center of attention

Chapter sixteen
Grace's POV My mind was like a hurricane with loads of thoughts running in it. On one hand I'm happy that I'm finally out of the hospital and on the other hand I'm being hated by someone I barely know. I almost forgot!, the jerk with the flowers is also out there. "What are you thinking about?" I was too engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't hear Mr Hyde walked in."nothing" I replied trying to assemble my thoughts.An aroma invaded my nostrils before I could see the source. "That's hard to believe," he said gently, dropping the tray of mouth watering serving of food on the table beside me. I was stuck in that hospital for too long that I now end up drooping at the sight of food. I can't remember the last time I had a meal that I wanted not because I was made to eat it. I smiled thankfully at him and started eating with no care in the world. I almost moan at the rich taste of the steak on my tongue. It's been a freaking long time!I felt slightly embarrassed knowing that Mr

Gideon's POV "We weren't like this before"."Things became messed up because of her and even if you deny it, I'm positive she is cause for all of this". Vivian voice reverberates in the silent room. I'm honestly surprised by her sudden outburst, she has been this annoying recently and she is starting to irk me. "if you don't release them I also won't stop getting under your skin" she continues as she closes the distance between us. Her green eyes stared back at me with determination.I have known her for a long time and I'm still shocked that she has this side of her hidden all this while."Are you daring me?" I suddenly feel like laughing because of her futile attempt to intimidate me. "That is a game you will never win". I said finding her extremely funny. "Gideon""I'm doing all this because I still love you and I want us to get back together" she said suddenly after realizing that her plan has gone south. "I feel really bad seeing both of you together and I got overwhelmed

Grace's POV I like it when you smile" he said while taking my hands in his. I focus on his face and decided to indulge myself despite my anger at him. I don't know when or how but unintentionally I have come to care for this man that I bearly know. "Why are you mad at me?" he asked suddenly and I have nothing to say. I will rather die than confess my feelings to him. "I'm mad at you because you hit me with the door" I replied while glaring at him trying to hide my emotions. "oh!, I'm sorry. Let me rub it.""where did I hit" he asked and I could almost hear him chuckle. "Here" I replied pointing to where the door hit me. I barely feel the pain when the door hit me but call me dramatic. He gently rubs on the spot and kiss it. "I'm not a kid" I said feeling offended by the peck. "You do that to a kid not a grown ass woman like me" I said to his blank face. "okay" he replied while staring intently at me. He inched closer to me and our lips met.I welcome the kiss eagerly,

Chapter nineteen
Unknown POV I feel the rush of excitement pass through my body, the car run at an insane speed under my guide. The uneven road gives me painful jerk as the car try its best to stay on its feets. The cup of hot coffee I kept between my lap spilled its content on my thigh making me grits my teeth at the impact of the scalding hot liquid on my skin. I parked the car a short distance from the house, grabbing blindly at the back seat for what I got on my way. The place is very quiet and every footstep I take on the granite floor is unusually loud. I opened the door and walked inside after locking it after me, on the outside this looks like an old house that is about falling apart but on the inside it is a whole new world. I switched on the lights as I made my way to what really brought me here this late, what has got me really busy recently. Twisting the lock, the door gave way and I walked into my world of fun. "How are you awake?" I asked amused by the brown eyes that sta

"How dare you ask me that after beating the hell out my assistant""Do you know what I want?!""I don't want to see you again"She bellowed in fury without giving me a break.
