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
Natalia rolled her eyes at my words and placed her hand on her hip."It doesn't matter how you feel about this all that matters here is me and how I feel" She replied with arrogance."Are you out of your mind?" I asked in annoyance." You want me to accept the child of your lover?" I asked in disbelief, staring at her as if she had grown two heads, because honestly I am starting to think she did." If you knew you were going to cheat on me you should have done it properly and not get yourself knocked up,you should come up with a better plan for your child because I am not going to accept someone else's child as my own!" I shout in anger."I think we will have a problem there because I am not getting rid of this child Thomas, you have to accept it,there is no other way around this, We are married and it's normal for us as a married couple to have kids. I think we have waited long enough." Natalia said with on single remorse as she stood her ground.A frown on her face.Did she actually
