Thomas POVI wanted to comfort Grace but I had to restrain myself because I don't think it would be a good idea.I didn't want to give her false hope.It wasn't a good idea for Grace to come in front of me and tell me all these because I didn't know how I would respond.I just said nothing as I processed what she said while Grace looked like she wanted to break down crying.I didn't like seeing that look on her face so I averted my eyes.Grace's confession explains a lot of things ,why she has been helping me even while I was still with Natalia.Even if she was in love with me I don't know if I wanted to get involved with a woman right now. I wasn't emotionally ready and needed some time to focus on my healing before I started thinking about love , but I can't ask her to wait for me. That would be selfish and I don't know how I feel about her.I trust her but a committed relationship is something I can't get into now.I have to think about this carefully before giving her a reply.I

Thomas POVI didn't actually have any social life apart from going to work so I decided to accept Oliver's request when he invited me out with his friends the next day.I raised an eyebrow when Oliver mentioned friends.I thought he didn't have any friends. I came over to Oliver's office when I closed from work around 6pm and he was still rounding up his work.I lay down on the couch deep in thoughts and I kept sighing."Stop that Thomas." Oliver hissed at me.I sat up and narrowed my eyes at his words."You told me that some of your friends wanted to meet me but we are still here." I huffed at him.It was already 6:52 pm."What got your pants in a twist?Just shut up and lay back down please." Oliver glared at me."Oliver, what the heck dude?" I chuckled."You have been acting so grumpy since you came in here." Oliver pointed out."That's not true." I retorted."If you say so." He shrugged."Is this the part where I am supposed to ask you what happened?" Oliver asked with a serious f

Thomas POV The man trying to attack me didn't take my dodging his lousy attack as a cue to run but he lunge forward for another attack with his knife. I shook my head as I watched him attack blindly and I got a hold of the hand which held the knife and punched his face with my other hand,then I twisted his hand behind his back and pushed him to the ground using my kneel to hold him to the ground as his hold on the knife loosened and he let it go, I took the knife and tossed it away. Luckily I had seen someone jogging from afar when this whole ordeal began and as she got closer and saw us I asked her to call the police to which she did ,as the man struggled to use his free hand to push himself up but I punched him three times on his face and jaw and he fell back face first to the ground and I twisted his other hand behind his back holding him firmly to the ground. I would rather he get injured than he hurt me or run away. I must catch him because I don't want someone following me a

Thomas POVMr Hills chuckled as he walked closer to me."I thought you were staring at the couple,the guy seems like he wants to beat up his girlfriend, maybe you should help her first before we continue." Mr Hills said and I turned back my attention to Bobby and Kate.Bobby was acting aggressive and Mr Hills wasn't wrong to think he wanted to beat Kate up but if I go and intervene it would be me calling my words a lie.Maybe Mr Hills noticed the interaction between me and Kate and was testing me."I shouldn't involve myself in things that do not concern me. I think the couple have it covered." I replied.It would be rude for me to excuse myself to tell Bobby people were staring at the commotion he was causing in front of here.If he and Kate want to be the center of attention that's their business."Oh I thought you knew the girl." He said and I shook my head.That confirms my suspicion that he saw, was he testing me?"It was a misunderstanding on her part." I corrected and he nodded

Thomas povI pinched the bridge of my nose and sighed."What sort of nonsense is this? Who did this?" I asked my secretary who brought today's newspaper to me and she shook her head."I have no idea so I just saw this and I decided that you should see this as well." She replied.My secretary showed me the hate comments I was getting on social media from the news that I abandoned my family on her phone and then I had the newspaper in my hand, gripping it to the point that it ripped a bit.Someone out there is really working hard to get on my nerves.I tossed the newspaper on the table."Take back your phone. I need to make some calls." I told her as she took back her phone."You can leave."I told her.Even though I instructed my secretary to leave my office she still stood there in front of me so I glanced up to see her looking at me nervously."Is there something else you want to tell me?" I asked her."Some of our shareholders have called to know what's going on and I reassured them
