Author's POV It didn't surprise Adrian when his office door opened suddenly and he heard shoes clicking against the wooden floor. Who else could it be other than his best friend? It was now like his routine to come everyday to his office just so he could bug him to get updates on Grace and see her face. But she ignored him at every chance she got, not even bothering to spare a glance at him. "To what do I owe the pleasure?" Adrian sighed looking up from his laptop, "this time?" Ashton gave him a cheeky smile before inviting himself to sit on the chair. "I need to know a few things," Ashton answered. Adrian scowled at his response, not knowing what he was talking about. "That is?" He asked. Ashton pressed his lips in a straight line before fishing for a paper in his coat's pocket. He slipped out a folded paper and handed it over to Adrian without saying anything. Adrian gave a careful look to the paper before raising his brow and taking it from his hand. He unfolded the paper and c

Grace's POV I stood in front of the building that I promised to never even look at the last time I walked out of. I hate you Ashton Knight for making me break my promise. If it was up to me, I would have rejected to even be in this project, if only I knew Ashton would pull this stunt. Reluctantly, I took some steps forward, finding myself standing in front of the glass door. The two security guards instantly bowed down to me slightly and one of them opened the gate for me. That made me frown, knowing the last time I came here, I had to open the gate myself. And these guards? Why were they bowing to me? Giving them a confused smile, I walked in. Looking around the classy building, I noticed nothing much had changed. It was just the same as when I left it. More like when I had to leave it. Sighing, I walked forward until I reached the reception area. I saw Valentina busy on the telephone line while flipping through a few pages, trying to look for something. Finally after ending th

Grace's POV My last encounter with Ashton was way more than weird. The way he acted, almost actually made me forgive him. I know it's all just an act. Then why does my heart say something else? Is he really sorry for what he did? But why should I consider his apologies? He thinks everyone is just an insect under his dirty feet that he can so likely cripple and walk away without having to care. Damn! Why am I even thinking about it? I have seriously lost my mind. Getting up, I wrapped all my things as it was time to leave. I'm not going to lie but it's been quite hectic for me to come back and forth from my own office to Ashton's office. I mean why can't I just simply work at one place. I need to talk to Adrian and do something about this. Because Ashton has seriously started getting on my nerves. That man seriously just finds excuses to come to my cabin for no apparent reason, say a few words then leave. Then he would come and beg me to go out for lunch with him. When I refuse , he

Grace's POV I felt my heart thudding against my ribcage as Ashton silently drove us back to his house. I was freaking confused. What the hell just happened in the past few minutes. Ashton Knight kissed me. HE FREAKING KISSED ME ! AND I FREAKING LET HIM!? Why did I do that? Oh my God! How was I going to ever face him after that? Shit I should've pushed him away. I should have even slapped him. But why couldn't I bring myself to take those actions? Why the hell did I stay freaking still!? I'm finally going insane. I was so indulged in my thoughts that I didn't even notice Ashton pulling up the car into his garage. Wow. I really was lost that I didn't even keep track of the time. But what amazed me more was the beautiful mansion in front of me. A total dream house anyone would want to be in. It was a three story, black, gray and white mansion. The tinted glass windows gave it even a more luxury look. I knew he was rich but this house was literally just so pretty. I noticed a few more

Author's Pov It was Macy's birthday and also the day Adrian decided to propose to her. And so for that he had arranged a grand birthday party for her inviting all of their friends and some business associates who were close. It was supposed to be a surprise for Macy and Grace was given the job of secretly bringing her to the venue without her getting the hint that something was going on for her. But Macy being Macy obviously knew that the so-called clubbing Grace was forcing her to go for was none other than a surprise birthday party for her. Otherwise it wouldn't be a coincidence that Grace, who would never go to a club in her life, would force and drag her to one that too exactly on the day of her birthday. Not being a party pooper, she went with the flow and did not let anybody get the hint that she somehow smelled the initial purpose of the plan a few days back and wouldn't ruin it to let Adrian and Grace surprise her for her birthday. But what she didn't know was the other surpr
