CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
"I will send you an email with the list of the things I need you to get done before the end of the day," Enrique told Grace as the car came to a halt in front of Howard Tech."Okay Sir, don't forget the appointment with Mr Valverde," Grace said."Thank you, see you next week then," he said and Grace simply smiled knowing that she was going to see him once again that night for the movie.Grace tried her best to keep her head up as she walked into Howard Tech. It was a sort of challenge though.Everyone seemed stunned at her new outfit, some even had their mouths open like fishes while watching her."My oh my, isn't this Ms Grace Jones, what happened to you?" Giselle asked.She was as usual, at the new receptionist's desk, gossiping when she saw Grace."Hello Giselle," Grace smiled."That pantsuit is a from a designer brand isn't it? How did you get the money to afford it?" Giselle queried in her high pitched tone."I also love your suit, Giselle. Have a nice day," Janet Morgan said, ta

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
"So what movie are we seeing?" Grace asked as Enrique drove."It's a surprise, I just hope you haven't seen it already, though."Grace almost scoffed at that statement. She had hardly ever seen up to ten movies since Camila's husband passed."I'm not really the movie type, so I couldn't have seen it," she replied."Oh okay, then how about music. Do you like it? You seem like a fangirl of a boyband.""Really? Well, I'm kind of retro, I love Backstreet Boys, Westlife and NSYNC, they are my favorite," she smiled.Music had never been forbidden for Grace and Penny because Camila was a music lover. She usually had a Westlife song on whenever she was checking Stunning Agency's accounts."I absolutely love those guys too," Enrique said, tapping on his phone and then the intro of one of Backstreet Boys' most famous song filled the car.Grace yelled excitedly and started singing along, Enrique joined her and they sang song after song from his playlist."You have a terrible singing voice, you k

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
Saturday morning passed in a blur for Grace, she was in the hospital with Penny for her regular check-up.She spent her afternoon waitressing at a restaurant close to the house and then in the evening, Albert arrived at the flat to inform her that she was on duty that night too.Grace knew it couldn't possibly be Enrique who had hired her again, so she wasn't surprised when Albert showed her the details of the client, a sixty year old politician who was throwing a lavish party and wanted a beautiful young woman by his side.She dressed slowly, dreading spending time with the client. She had to remind herself that this was her job and she didn't need to like it, she just had to endure it for a little while longer.By the end of the year, she would have enough money to get she and Penny out if Camila's clutches. It was the only thought that motivated her to get ready for the night.She opted for a strawberry blonde wig and deep green contact lenses. Albert did a great job at darkening h

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
"What the hell do you think you're doing? I have a client waiting for me?" Grace yelled at Enrique when he started driving."I'm trying to knock some sense into you, damn it!" He yelled, his accent becoming more prominent."You're the one who isn't making any sense here. You have just kidnapped me from my client, do you have any idea how much he paid for my time?" Grace frowned."I am not stupid, while you were in the bathroom, I called your boss and made the necessary arrangements to purchase your time tonight.""What? Why would you do that?""Why not? I think I've delayed the contract signing. I'll get my lawyer to prepare the contract as soon as possible. How do you want anyone to believe we are in a serious relationship when you still go around with old bats like Mark?" Enrique fumed.He was so angry, when he saw Mark kissing Lila, he had the strangest urge to knock out the old man's teeth. How could he cheat on his wife like that?Enrique convinced himself that he would have been

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
Grace dressed casually in red sweatpants and a sweatshirt and Albert did his flawless makeup for her. Her long brown wig and ice grey contacts in place, she left Stunning Agency to find Enrique leaning on his black Sedan. He roamed his eyes all over her figure and smiled appreciatively."You look good even in a casual attire like this," Enrique smiled."Thanks, you look great too. Are you coming straight from church?""Yeah, contrary to what many people think about me, I'm actually a serious Christian. I never miss a Sunday service. Let's go," he said opening the car door for her.Grace and Penny had never been actively engaged in any religious beliefs while their parents were alive. When they started living with Camila and her husband, they had been allowed to attend church.As the years went by, Camila forbade them from doing so. She couldn't risk them mixing up with others and telling them the truth.They arrived at the same clothing store Enrique had taken her to the other day. "

"Here we are. This is my family house, only my parents live here, they spend the holidays in any of their other houses across the continent," Enrique told Grace as he parked the car in front of the gate.Grace's eyes were as wide as saucers. She took in the beauty and vastness of the property with greedy eyes. The gate alone, screamed wealth, she even found herself wondering how she was still surprised at how rich Enrique Black was."This place is amazing and here I was, thinking your mansion was the best there could be," she confessed."You don't have to feel intimidated by it, my parents have more money than they could spend for the rest of their lives, building this house was one of those things they did for the fun of it. They are very down to earth and wouldn't throw their wealth in your face," Enrique said."I never said they will," Grace replied."It shows on your face that you are scared they might think you're not good enough. I know this isn't a real relationship, but I want

"I'm so sorry if this bores you, but Enrique and I met in the most uninteresting manner possible, right my love?" Grace laughed, giving Enrique the signal to fill in for her.Catching her signal, Enrique was quick to reply with, "yes, that's the best way to describe our first meeting. You see, Lila here has plans of running a book cafe and the amazing thing is that she chose one of my properties for the location.""Really? That's great, tell us more about it? I would absolutely love to be your regular customer, Lila," Sophia said."Well, it's far from open right now. I'm still considering some decisions first. We should be open before the end of next month," Lila said."So how did it happen that you got close enough to become our dear, Enrique's girlfriend? As far as I know, my nephew has several properties and I see no reason why he should get involved in the process of you renting out one of them," Lucia said with a frown."Well, that's where Miguel comes in," Enrique said."Miguel?

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
"Good morning Mr Black, here's your coffee, Sir," Grace said as she walked into Enrique Black's office the following morning.After their kiss the previous night, neither of them had bothered to talk about it and Grace had simply left the car and headed into Stunning Agency where she spent the rest of the day training the new escorts at the agency.She had set her alarm and got to work twenty minutes before work time and also taken the initiative to buy Enrique some coffee. She was determined to make him realize that she wasn't an incompetent idiot.Enrique looked up from his computer and was surprised at how polished his usually dull assistant was looking.She was in a pink pantsuit which fit her slim body perfectly. The white heels she had on augmented her short height and her hair was styled neatly in a high bun."You look great today, Ms Jones. Pink is a nice colour for that hair colour of yours. Thanks for the coffee," Enrique said, accepting the drink from her."Thank you Sir. I

It was finally lunch time and Grace was just about to go down to the cafeteria to get some cheap donuts for lunch when her phone rang."Ms Jones, I'm waiting for you at the parking lot. Remember you promised to have lunch with me?" Mr Bright asked when she answered the call."I'm on my way, Sir," she said and hung up.This was her chance to finally get close with Mr Bright, why was she being so hesitant about spending time with him. What if he was interested in her? Shouldn't she seize this opportunity?Grace decided she was going to be open to the possibility of a relationship with Mr Bright. He was after all the man she had been crushing on for the longest time.She wasn't going to let her complicated relationship with Enrique Black blind her from the obvious interest Mr Bright had in her.Having come to that conclusion, Grace applied some lip gloss before entering the elevator. The doors were about to close when Giselle rushed in.The entire space was quickly filled with her druggi

CHAPTER THIRTY
"Wow! Oh my God, this place is so beautiful, Enrique," Grace gushed.For the past two weeks after signing the fake relationship contract, she and Enrique had been going out in dates. With the new house under renovation due to the book cafe she wanted to set up, Enrique had made one of his apartments available for her to stay in.She and Penny had moved in and Grace was extremely glad because her younger sister now had a better place to relax and write the novels that she so much loved writing. They also had a heater installed that ensured Penny didn't catch colds at night.Camila had been surprisingly quiet about Grace and Penny's moving out. Grace realized later that she was only interested in the money she was earning from Enrique's contract with Grace.Since the staircase incident, Enrique had been very much civil with Grace at work. She was now familiar with his likes and dislikes and even though coming to work everyday, meant she had to get up very early and work so hard at meeti
