Grace's POVI was off work today so I decided to pay Thomas a visit.Thomas has asked me to come and work for him in his company and I refused because I don't think I will concentrate on work if I see him everyday, but I guess I will change my mind in the future.Mr Gabriel's company that Thomas now owns, I refer to it as his second company , Thomas's second company has few workers now because Thomas was firing most of them and rehiring.He was doing such a fine job handling two companies with small branches.I came here very early and I brought breakfast for Thomas because I know he is a workaholic and might forget to eat breakfast at times.I was free to love around now since I haven't heard from Timothy, my crazy ex boyfriend but I was careful and mindful of my surroundings.I walked into the company building. I greeted the security guards and I saw one person that made me smirk.I don't know when I started turning evil. I think Thomas has influenced me.I saw Natalia mopping the
A YEAR LATER Thomas's POV I was in my office looking over some files when I stopped to suddenly stare at the picture frame of Grace and I on my desk. She told me to keep it in my office so she could brighten my day anytime I felt weak. Remembering her words made a smile form on my lips. I was glad I met Grace and I was even more glad to have her as my girlfriend. She did more for me than I asked of her and she never expected me to do anything in return, that was how she showed me she loved me. Even if meeting Natalia made me go through hardships at least I met Grace and I would never want to change the past if it meant not meeting Grace again, that was how much she meant to me. Life takes drastic turns now and then all we need to do is brace up for the impact. That's what I did and I was glad I have gotten to this point where I feel confident and loved. I finally got the company back to its former glory and I told Mr Gabriel and Logan that this was what they couldn't do. Mr
Being in a desperate position was not something that happened to me often, but when it did I often started asking why it would happen to me and only me.Being broke and on the verge of going insane at any moment. I thought that was all but the only chance that I had at a good life was snatched away from my hands.How should I go home now? I thought that I would disappear from home but it seems that I have to go back to that place again.The screaming and fighting was deafening and going through that each day was bad for me.Why was I rejected? Why did this happen?I was so happy that I rushed over here today and yet my happiness was shattered.This was the only chance that I had of starting a new life but that went through the drain and now I am back to square one with no plans.Just my plain mind going back and forth thinking of all the possible reasons why this had to happen.I met Natalia again that day and that was when she made the offer that I didn't know how to refuse."Marry
The maid crossed her hand and huffed."I've been knocking for hours. Did you die in your sleep and suddenly wake up?" She asked in anger.That tone is not one that she should use on me as her madam's husband but since I am not paying her she doesn't care and would insult me as she pleases."What exactly do you want?" I asked her but the maid rolled her eyes at me.Moments like this I wish her eyeball would not come back to the center of her eyes and see her reaction." Mr. Gabriel sent me to call you down for breakfast. Everyone is already at the table but I guess his Majesty is waiting to be called upon." The maid scoffed."Mr. Gabriel asked for me?" I asked with surprise evident in my voice.I thought that my father in law didn't want anywhere near him. Why was he asking for my presence now?Did something happen?I have been careful to not do anything that would anger him but I guess one must slip up at some point.Either way I can't refuse his call that would just cause an argument
Something tells me that Natalia had already told her I would be coming plus always she would like to act like a prude and talk down on me before letting me see Natalia.This was the reason why I hated coming here.I have told Natalia countless times that her secretary is rude to me but not for once has she said anything concerning it so yeah that's how much my wife cares about what I say."I already have an appointment with her, didn't she tell you about it?" I asked the secretary who rolled her eyes at me."She has a busy schedule that can change at any moment but if you want to go in,you can go ahead." The secretary scoffed."After all she's your wife." The secretary said, sitting back on her chair with a grin on her face.It feels as if she had won a lottery by wasting my time here.I don't know why she was acting this way.I muttered a thank you and headed back to Natalia's door,holding the handle. I heard moaning and I pushed open the door and took two steps in and my stomach fel
Getting back home and meeting my mother in law and her two friends in the living room I greeted them and wanted to head up the stairs to my room when my mother-in-law Mrs Gabriel called me back.I walked closer to her and stopped in front of her and she stretched out her hand while she held her wine glass."Fill it." She said and felt More like an order as if she was doing it to show to her friends that I was nothing but an errand boy in her house.I was already silently nursing the heart break her daughter gave me and now she wanted to insult me more."What are you waiting for?" She said and I sighed,picked up the bottle of wine and filled it up for her."You can help fill my friend's glasses while you are at it." She said and her two friends raised their glass with an amusing smile on their faces.I dropped the bottle on the table and headed upstairs."Get back here you low life! Thomas! Thomas! You dare insult me in front of my guests in my own house!" Mrs Gabriel shouted angrily b
Mr. Gabriel Natalia's Father was so happy that she hosted a party for her to celebrate the success of the company much to Logan's dismay.Seeing Natalia gaining their Father's favor wasn't something that he wanted,after all he was the first child and was supposed to inherit the company when his father stepped down but now that Natalia is in the picture it was getting more hard for Logan.It made me feel better than Logan was upset at Natalia's success.Even if I could reply to his insults I can still indirectly use this and rub it all over his face for talking down on me.Even though I hoped Natalia would include me even a bit when my predictions were correct she never did . It had happened for years now so I was used to it.When she was busy receiving compliments I was receiving side glances and mocking."I can't believe that they actually let him still stay here, what is he doing here,I can't believe that he calls himself a man." One of the women sneered at me.They were not trying
I stayed indoors the next day hoping that everyone would leave before I went downstairs to eat even when I had banging on my door and Gabriel's angry shouting. I didn't even open the door. I didn't bother because I knew that it would not end in a good confrontation.It was about 11:30 in the morning when I was sure that everyone had left. I went to the kitchen and found Grace there.She made me breakfast and I ate and thanked her."I don't think this place suits you." Grace told me and I was taken aback by her words." I am just saying that you should go somewhere you are appreciated and welcomed…""I think you should mind your business." I cut her off and she pressed her lips together.I feel bad that I spoke to her this way but I don't want her getting into trouble with the other maids and getting her fired.She was the only one on my side here so I shouldn't get her into trouble."I am sincerely sorry I forgot my place, forget what I said... I really think I should mind my own busi

Thomas POVI wanted to go out on a date with Grace and as we were making plans an unknown number called me.It was Natalia again,she has been calling me and crying to give her a job.Grace told me to give Natalia the job and after that we can continue going on planning our date.She said she wanted it as a gift.I could only give her what she wanted.The only reason why I came along with her was so I could see my old room in Mr Gabriel's mansion.I just wanted to tell my past self that I made it, it felt nice.Natalia finished cleaning the mansion and she did a good job.I paid her and she wasn't staring at me anymore but had her head bowed in defeat. I don't understand why she was dressed so tattered and her hair was messy but I didn't bother asking.I told her to come to the company tomorrow.The company that I bought from Mr Gabriel, workers were lacking. At least she can keep the place clean before I get it back to a better position, if she does a bad job I will fire her.After e
Natalia's POVI was just standing and staring at Thomas and Grace as If I had seen a ghost.What's going on here?Why were they giggling as Grace wrapped her hand more tightly around Thomas's waist.There were two bodyguards behind them and I was just rooted to the spot not understanding what I was seeing.Grace suddenly turned to me with a smile."Natalia, shouldn't you start working you know you don't have all day, I think you know where the mop is, if you do a good job here he might offer you a better job." Grace said with a sweet smile and for the first time her smile sent shivers down my spine.Grace never fakes a smile but this time I don't understand why this smile made me uncomfortable."Grace, what are you doing here?" I asked in confusion.I was only planning on seeing Thomas here and I wanted to talk to him,there was no way he would see me in this bad state and not help me."I thought you were going to do your job immediately when you came here, I didn't think you would be
Natalia's POVThere was no sign on Dad's face to show he was joking.Was he actually going to disown me now I had nowhere to go?"Daddy no! Please no ! I didn't mean to bring Thomas here, I was just trying to gain your recognition. You have to believe me, mom please say something to Dad, don't let him kick me out!" I pleaded as I got on my knees, Mom said nothing as she just watched me.Logan, who was behind me, let go of my luggage to drag me out. He held me by my hand and dragged me to the floor when I refused to stand up.Logan was pulling me with all his might, mom was pulling my luggage out of the mansion and Dad was accusing me of ruining his life.I was pleading, crying and admitting that I was wrong but they didn't listen.I was dragged outside the gates ,my luggage was tossed on the ground."You should just leave Natalia,you have caused enough harm already and you are already an adult." Mom said as the door gate locked."Mom please beg Dad to let me stay!" I pleaded."No matt
Natalia's POVI was laying down on my bed, thinking about what to do next.Everyone in the house was acting so strange, and since Grace left I have been the one doing the house chores because the other maid left as well.Dad said he didn't have enough money to pay her or hire a new maid for now so I was stuck with doing house chores.Who would have imagined that I would be doing house chores now, how low I have fallen but who was I to complain since Mom that didn't work started cooking as well, I didn't know that my mother knew how to cook because I can't remember the last time she cooked anything for us to eat.Mom and Dad, I think they have reconciled.The drivers have stopped coming to work, so when Dad and Logan want to go to work Logan drives the car.It has gotten to such a bad point.I sighed in exhaustion, I didn't know that just doing house chores can be this exhausting.I really miss having someone to do these things for me.But it was only a matter of time and everything wo
Thomas POVI was curiously waiting to see who just walked in."I am home." The female voice announced as she walked into the living room and I turned to look at her.He was carrying a backpack so I would only assume that this was Grace's last sibling."Good afternoon mom, " she greeted her mom with a smile."Good afternoon… who are you?" She asked when her eyes landed on me."Jane, behave yourself,it's Grace's boyfriend." Her mother scolded her.I don't actually see anything wrong with what she asked, since she saw a strange man in their living room.Her eyes immediately lit up as she smiled and ran up to."Brother Thomas?" She asked curiously as she sat beside me on the couch."Yes." I smiled and she giggled."What took you so long to come to our house? I have wanted to meet you for a long time." She pouted."You wanted to see him for a long time, did you get to know him first?" Grace's Mom asked Jane who giggled."It's a secret." Jane said as she winked at her mother."Brother Thoma
Thomas's POVMike took steps closer to me ,to stop Mr Gabriel if he wanted to attack me."How could you do something so evil?" He asked."I did nothing wrong besides many of them wanted to buy your company and not help you,you know that right?" I asked him and he seemed to calm down."Besides, I was repaying you back for what you did." I said."What did I do?" He asked innocently."I knew you were the one bad-mouthing me to my business partners." I said and his eyes widened."Well it doesn't matter anymore since I have paid back your family half of the rage I feel." I said."Half? what more are you going to do to my family,we have nothing now?" He asked me with disbelief written all over his face."Haven't you taken your revenge already, I knew someone was asking people not to help me, it was you all along." Mr Gabriel said as he fell backwards and his body slammed on the couch."You are smarter than I think." I smirked at him.He sighed and looked away."Just leave, I can't fight wit
Thomas's POVMr Gabriel sighed."Did you ever think you would be kneeling down before someone you called a waste of space?" I asked him sarcastically and his shoulders dropped in defeat."You should stand up and sit down,my lawyer is coming in to finalize the deal of buying your company and mansion. If you need your lawyer present, call him." I told him."Mr Gabriel, did you hear me?" I asked as he was silent."Why are you doing this to me?" He asked with a small voice."You can blame your daughter for bringing me into your family by sabotaging my scholarship to a good university." I told him and he looked at me with teary eyes.Was I supposed to pity him?"Call your lawyer I don't have all day." I told him as he looked down to his laps as he slowly stood up and slumped on the couch."I don't have a personal lawyer anymore." He mumbled as he rested his head on the couch."Well that's fine all you need to do is sign the documents after reading it, my lawyer will read it out to you or y
