Grace woke up in her bed with Tobias sleeping next to her. Tobias had been thrilled to find out last night that Xan was not sleeping there and wasted no time in regaining what he deemed his rightful place. Grace knew that Xan was welcoming members of the Chinese Gang syndicate and most importantly his sister.“As if I did not have enough pressure on me!” Grace complained to Tobias, who responded by washing her face. “Urgh Tobias!” Grace said, but this did not seem to stop him. The door swung open and Kitty came in cheerfully.  “Afternoon Grace! Are you ready for the big day!” Kitty said in her normal bright cheery voice.“Afternoon?” Grace said. “Yes, afternoon! Your Grandpa told me to let you sleep in, especially after the beauty treatments yesterday” Kitty said. “You mean torture? I swear you have to be a mosaicist to do waxing!” Grace groaned.  Lucas had not been joking when he said that she would be waxed within an inch of

Tobias was not impressed with the situation, in fact, he was extremely worried! He had gone to sniff out a new smell when he heard his Mistress’s voice raised, he had turned to raced to her side. When he got there, he saw his Mistress fallen and smelled her blood. Now a strange man was wanting to touch his Mistress! Not on his watch! Tobias stood over his mistress, the urge to protect was overwhelming. Tobias barked loudly at Kurt to warn him to stay the fuck away!  “Get out of the way you stupid mutt! Can’t you see she is hurt and I am trying to help her?!” Kurt shouted at Tobias. Suddenly, Kurt heard a female voice call “Tobias! Tobias, have you got shut out again?”  “Kitty?!” Grace tried to say but was drowned out by Tobias’s barking. Suddenly, Kitty walked over and saw Grace lying on the floor with Kurt standing over her. “Oh my God Grace! Tobias, you stay right there, I am getting help!” Kitty said as she ran back into t

“Xan! How could you?? You knew that I wanted a small wedding!” Grace shouted  “Trust me, she wanted it ALOT bigger, so she has respected your wishes....in part!” Xan started to explain. “ My wishes? It's supposed to be OUR days, not hers!” Grace said angrily. “Look, Love, I know. It is just she doesn’t really have any female friends and she was so excited when I broke the news! Her wedding was organised by the Chinese Syndicate, so she didn’t have much say. She also was trying to take a load off you. Please Grace, just let her help a little bit!” Xan pleaded. Grace sighed. Xan did not ask for anything and I suppose the extra help could not hurt! By the looks of it, she had to have her ankle pinned and wired, so mobility was going to be an issue. “Fine, but I have a feeling I going to regret this!” Grace grumped. “Thank you so much! There is also one last thing, I have to leave the day after tomorrow!” Xan said.  “What

“What makes you think Chynna is missing Grace?" Hank asked urgently. “Chynna is extremely late back from the city, and her phone is turned off. When have you ever known Chynna's Phone to be turned off? She’s always texting me as well, about an outfit a new shop or about the fit guy that she has just seen! There’s been nothing Hank, nothing for hours!” Grace said anxiously. “Well, it needs investigating, luckily she took a car that had a GPS onboard. Let’s go and check that and I will try and contact the security personnel that will be with her. I will get someone to also hack into the city CCTV operation once we know the whereabouts of the car." Hank said as he took out his phone and started to ring his team. Within a few moments members of the household running around going into various offices. Andrew, as the Syndicate's head Black Hat (Hacker), had already hacked into the New York CCTV system. Grace would normally question the legality of this but she was

Grace woke up to a loud humming sound and she realised she was on a plane. Not the luxury plane that she had come accustomed to, but an old carrier plan where things tend to be pushed out the back.“Jeez guys I said I would be compliant, you didn’t have to drug me!” Grace complained as she tried to rub her neck unsuccessfully. “Really? Zip ties? Come on now!” She snapped.“Hey, sleeping beauty is awake! We could not take any chances, word on the street is you kicked Xan Lang’s arse!” The Mercenary who was called Frank said.“Well, he bloody deserved it for being an utter cockwomble!” Grace said and the guys around her chuckled.“That settles it, Dean, she is not American! No American would know such a colourful word as cockwomble!” Frank said. “Of course I am not American! What makes you think that?” Grace asked.“Well, sweetheart, you are going t
