Grace I plopped down on my bed after kicking off my heels. I groaned, staring at the ceiling. Why can't things go my way for once? Another day wasted. If I don't pay tomorrow, then I won't have a place to live! God please help me! I beg you! I got up and changed out of the dress. My stomach growled, making me glare at it. Moving towards my kitchen, I grabbed an instant noodles packet from the cabinet and started boiling it. After having my so-called dinner, I succumbed to sleep. The next day, I was extra nervous when I made my way to the office. This didn't go unnoticed by many people and Stephen even approached me to ask if I was ok. Giving him a fake smile and a polite answer, I started making my way to the employee's elevator. But I stopped in my tracks when dizziness enveloped my head. I swayed a little, stumbling on my feet but still managed to balance myself. Stephen was quick to run to me and hold me by my shoulders. "Woah there! What is happening to you? You are definit

Adrian's POV Grace told me her whole story. And I couldn't believe she was indeed the 'Grace Miller' who was working as P.A for Ashton knight a.k.a. my best friend. She told me how he treated her like shit. Honestly I knew if there was any other girl in her place, he would have treated her the same. After what his mother did with his father, he had a stigma attached to women. 'They are nothing but gold diggers' that was his belief. I felt really angry after knowing how terribly he fired her like that. He should have at least given her a chance to clarify the situation. But no. I knew my best friend Ashton Knight to always act on impulse and then regret later. I didn't want to keep Grace in the dark by not telling the relationship I had with Ashton. It wouldn't have been fair to her. But that didn't mean I would not support her. Hell I will not let him come close to Grace anymore. She had already suffered so much. And I can't let that happen again. But that also didn't mean that

Grace's POV It's been a week since I've applied for a few jobs, because all I have been doing is sitting at home and eating chocolate. 'Home' saying that word felt nice. Just how much I wanted to have my own home. Anyways so about the job. I applied to a couple of companies but they all instantly rejected me, not knowing why. I mean you at least should tell me what my fault was or if I was not up to their standards. I would have honestly accepted it. "Found it," I sighed as I finally found the business card I was fishing for so long in my purse. It was the card that the camera man at the charity event offered me before I went inside the hall. I remembered that the company he was working for wanted a model. Well I'm 5 feet 5 inches. It's not too tall for a model but I look taller with heels so I guess it could work. And I think I was just a little above average looking. Well the people say otherwise. I've got comments on my beauty which are very hard to believe for some reason. I pl

Ashton's POV Two weeks. Two fucking weeks have passed and I got no trace of her. Two weeks of pure torture. I continued staring at her portrait hanging before me in my bedroom as I took another sip from my wine glass. Yep, I didn't have the heart of leaving that beautiful portrait to rot in the office so I brought it home for some reason. And to add a cherry on top, I decided to hang it in my bedroom. Why did I do that? I have no idea. I have officially gone crazy. This girl has made me crazy. I continued staring at her in anger. Anger because I could see her but not talk to her. Anger because she disappeared. Anger because she was not picking up her phone. Anger because I didn't see her in my office any more. Anger because............ I missed her. I knew I was drunk by now. I had literally finished three wine bottles and was still thirsty for more. I needed to get rid of that feeling. The feeling in my heart that was pulling me close to her. The feeling that was changing the r

Author's POV Leaving Adrian's office, Ashton strolled down the corridor in hopes to find Grace's cabin so he could just have one look at her. He still didn't have the guts to confront her after what he did, but knew he had to do something about it soon. Not being able to find her cabin, he asked the receptionist for the directions to Mr Adrian's P.A. She immediately guided him to the room telling that she might be inside. Ashton gave her a nod before she left. Standing outside her cabin, he didn't know what to do. He knew that he wouldn't be able to say anything once he saw her. But dismissing all those thoughts, he reminded himself that he was Ashton Knight, and he wasn't afraid of anything. Thus with determination encasing his body, he knocked on her door. Grace was busy proofreading some documents when she heard a knock on her. Who could it be? She thought as she softly told the person to come in. With her eyes still fixed on the paper, she heard the door open and some shoes
