Grisella's POVI was ready.I was ready to tell Julian everything. I trusted him now and I didn't want to hide anything from him."You can do this" I said to myself, putting on my lipstick as I got ready for the dinner.Something about this Uncle's Dinner stirred a weird feeling inside of me. A part of me felt like it was going to be a disaster.Maybe I'm just paranoid."It can't be that bad" I shrugged, dropping the lipstick back on the dresser. "Something is missing" I looked at myself in the mirrorAll I could see was a broken girl who was heading towards a dark lonely path. A broken girl who had learnt to put on a facade so, so good that she had almost lost herself.If not lost herself "I know what's missing" Julian's voice broke me out of my thoughts. I smiled up at him from the mirror when he placed a soft kiss on my cheekHe has been very supportive this period. He didn't even question me much and has been silently giving me emotional support. He didn't even know"My kiss for

Vector's POVI had planned so long for this day.The day I'd finally get what I truly deserved.The day where I'd bring down everyone who took what was rightfully mine. "It all started from when my father decided to have another bloody ass son" I chuckled darkly. My mother and father separated a long time ago, barely before I could even say the word "Daddy" properly. Three years later, he brought in a bastard and his damn mother. She was always too nice and It got to a point I didn't like it at all and figured out her games.~"Darling, would you be staying over? You should keep your baby brother company" She always said. Naive me would happily look after her son and play with him.~Mama warned me that she was playing a sneaky game and she would take everything meant for me and give it to her son.~"You're old enough. That's for Lorenzo" Papa always said, promising to give my own gift to my mother when he got one~It never came. He was such a huge liar. Then we got older and he bec

Grisella's POVEveryone was talking at the same time. The noise grew louder and louder as I quietly stared around. They were judging me. "Grisella is not your name, Darling girl" He announced again, loud and clear.No ambiguity. "Vector, this is -""Oh, looks like your little boyfriend knew all along" Vector turned to Julian who stared at me pitifullyI looked into his eyes, begging him to tell me he didn't know. Begging him to pretend like he didn't know. Begging him to say anything along that line.He avoided my eyes, answering my silent question. I gasped, closing my mouth. "Devani doesn't look shocked either so I'm guessing he knew before now too" The more Uncle Vector spoke, the more my heart squeezed in my chest."You.. you lied to me too" I pointed at him, walking closer. "Aww, get over it darling" He waved his hand dismissively. Everyone made way for me to come forward. They all stood, their phones in their hands. They were filming us."Uncle!" I yelled in disbelief He

Grisella's POV Rachel's cries had gotten louder than everEverywhere was quiet, you could hear a pin dropI was no longer shocked by any news I was going to hear anymore because I was suddenly numb.Or at least, that's what I thought.My body was here but my soul - lost and dead. The only reaction my body was exuding was tears. Painful tears."Finally!" Hannah, I mean Janet, stepped to the stage.To say I saw this coming would be a lie. A fucking big lie."Fuck" I heard Julian say. He didn't know this one."I guess you all didn't see this coming" Vector hugged his child. "You've made daddy proud""I did everything for you, Hannah. How could you do this" Rachel cried, pointing at Hannah a.k.a Janet.Scoffing, Hannah rolled her eyes - no damn remorse. "Dearest mum, you almost switched your attention to Grisella when father became too interested in her. You think I don't know?" Hannah eyed Rachel "Oh my God! My heart isn't working anymore" Rachel was being overly dramatic but I could r

"How could you stoop so low!" Swallowing hard, I moved my head to the direction the loud voices came from. My vision was all blurred out because of the tears that streamed down my face - hot, unending, unforgiving.It was out of my control.Everything was out of control "I did it for my family." Delilah stood her ground as she spoke to her husband, repeating the word she'd been saying since the revelation.Tiredly, I turned my head to the other end of the room where Rachel - I couldn't even call her mother. A mother who couldn't feel her child? A mother who didn't think twice to hurt another person because it wasn't your child? Devani and his wife argued seriously. She was equally crying. The cries hadn't stopped since we returned from the event. "You're wicked. How could you hide my child from me""Did you listen to me when I told you I had a hunch? Did you listen to me when I told you not to adopt that fucking child then?" Devani's voice cracked as he yelled. "You never listen, R

Julian's POVI was miserable without her.The room was losing its scent of her and I didn't like it. I inhaled the pillow she usually used. It wasn't enough.I missed her so damn much "I'm going to fuck you up, Vector" I pushed down her dress I had cuddled up with at night. I was losing it little by little but I didn't mind.I had to find her. Two weeks without her felt like death."I need to find my Grisella" My first reaction when I saw myself in the mirror was to jerk. I had grown into a monster. My beards had grown out of proportion - strong and scattered. Rolling my eyes, like I've been doing ever since she left, I pushed my tired body down the stairs."Jesus Christ, you look like shit" I scowled at Russo, not happy with his comment."Have you found her?" I sat on the kitchen island, waiting for his reply as I poured myself some whiskey."I wasn't looking for her" He answered truthfully. I stood up, shocked at the news. "You're kidding me, right?" I chuckled darkly, shaking m

Grisella's POV "Why are you doing this to yourself?" Slowly, I peel my eye lids open. They were heavy and tired from all the work they've been going through these past two weeks. If not three now"You've barely touched your food. Hell, you've barely been eating these days" Jenna eyes the quantity of the food and then, me. Groaning, I turned to my side. "I don't have appetite" my voice cracked."Don't tell me you're crying again. It's been weeks since everything happened" Jenna sighed softly. "I know you're still hurting and -""Just go away" I mumbled under my breath.I was missing him. I felt empty without him and i ... I don't even know if he feels this wayHow would he feel that way for someone who ruined him anyway?How would I feel this way for someone whose family ruined me? "I went away last time and came back to you in a terrible condition. I don't think I can do that, Grisella. Stop pushing me away" I felt the couch dip in from weight, then next was her hand on my ribs.

Julian's POVI've not been able to have good sleepYes, I had a roof under my head but ...There was this emptiness.It just wasn't enough for me"Boss, Russo is here to see you" I shot a glare at the guard. "Tell him to go fuck himself" I scowled, stirring the drink in the glass before throwing down the content."I would do what my boss says but i don't think my penis would reach my butthole" He shot at me and damn, it was disgustingI scrunched my nose up, eyeing him. "Ew bro.""Still drinking?" Rolling my eyes, I scoffed. "Leave me alone""Where has it gotten us?" There he goes again. I knew what he was going to say next and I wasn't ready for it."I'm not in a good mood, Russo" I stood up, walking up to the freezer to get more ice cubes.Anything to get away from him"You don't need to be in a good mood to talk about -""Russo." I snapped. Pinching the bridge of my nose, I breathed heavily. "There are other pressing things on my plate""You're comfortable because you had a penth

Julian's Pov"I will do whatever you want, just save her" I hung up, half agitatedLife had a way of forcing you into doing things. I was sure Russo would be happy now."We would like you to sign an agreement before we proceed" A nurse said, pushing a document towards me.Russo walked in on us, speaking up immediately. "What's going on?"Rolling my eyes, I snatched the paper from her. "What the fuck is this?" I flipped through the pages. Apparently, it was an agreement to sponsor Grisella's treatment for my hand in marriage. Janet was really shameless. "You're squeezing the paper" The nurse pointed out. Russo's hand on my shoulder made me jerk back into reality, releasing my grip on the paper."We don't have a choice. She's in a very critical situation" Russo squeezed my shoulder. I shoved his hands off my shoulder in annoyance. Who knew if he was even working for Vector."This is our chance. Grisella would be safe, we'd -" He turned to the nurse and then looked at me. "Just like w

6 Months LaterJulian's POV"Do you think mummy will take her revenge?" Ethan asked, holding the flower tightly. He has refused to drop the flower down on the tombThis was the first time he was coming to visit her ever since she ... she left us.Chucking, I teased. "Like dressed in a white gown and haunt them down? Nahh, that doesn't sound like what your mum would want to do" He laughed lightly. "Too bad" He had her sarcasm and just reminded me of her. I stared into his amber eyes like mine - just that this time it was sad and his sweet smile like that of his mother - cheeky and cute."Well" I breathed out heavily. "Too bad" I repeated, brushing my hand on his head."Mummy really loved me even when she didn't know I was hers. She would sneak me out of the shelter home to places I wanted to be." His voice cracked. He was trying to be a big boy. I swallowed hard, placing my hand on his shoulder. My heart broke when my eyes met his eyes again - tears filled and filled with so much hu
