Grace POV I was worried when I saw the news about Mr Thomas. As far as I know he was an orphan so I don't understand why someone would do something this horrible. I didn't want to call Mr Thomas at first, but I wanted to be sure he was all right because I knew that the topic of his family upsets him a lot. I thought he had found a family member, but that was not the case. Someone was actually trying to reap where she didn't sow. I still don't understand how he feels about me because what he says and how he acts are two absolutely different things. He tells me he wants to be with me and see me around him often but he also doesn't want to be in a committed relationship but what he said just now contradicts what he said earlier. I just hope you understand and come to realize what he wants from me because I don't know how long I can continue waiting on him. After we spoke on the phone I was just pondering on what he said. "Grace." I heard someone half yell and I nearly dropped t
Natalia's POVI watched Grace run out of the kitchen after I yelled at her to leave.These days everyone in the house has been avoiding me, even Grace who was always there for me.Everyone in this house is just a bunch of hypocrites.Just because I don't work anymore to make money, everyone is avoiding me and now I have suddenly become invincible in my own house even a maid can tell me she won't do something for me.I don't blame them though I blame Dad for treating me like trash and instructing the maids not to help me buy anything I requested.The only thing Dad did was allow me to live in the house. He doesn't even reply to my greeting or spare a glance at me.I don't know what Dad did about Mr Felix but Mr Felix didn't sue me and he won't be investing in our company anymore.Everyone is now seeing me as the enemy of the family because of this.I opened the fridge again and then I sighed in frustration.I shouldn't have chased Grace away, I should have told her to prepare something
Thomas POVMr Gabriel called me this morning before I even got to work and when I answered he had the nerve to scold me for speaking disrespectfully to him in front of Mr Hills in the event CEO Nelson hosted.Mr Hills was right about one thing, if Mr Gabriel's company stabilized, I was sure he would attack those that refuse to help him and I will be the number one on his list because he will blame me for leaving his daughter and his company and causing all these problems for him.I hung up the call.I think I have been too lenient that he dared call me to scold me as if I was his child.I just pity him.When I am done with him he would know that he should not put more fuel on a buying flame.A shareholders meeting will be held in my company very soon so I decided to go over the shareholders list.I have been preoccupied with things happening around me that I haven't paid much attention to my company, but this needed to be done and it was important that I knew who was coming to the sha
Thomas POV "I hope you weren't followed here. Did you take all the precautions I asked you to take?" I asked as she gulped and nodded."Yes...yes I did all you said I even left my phone at home." She stammered as she sniffled.With the way she was acting I could tell she was nervous and maybe reconsidering her decision to actually come and meet me."I think I know you from somewhere we have met before right?" She asked when she finally looked at me properly and I nodded."Can you promise that after today my name will not be mentioned to your husband?" I asked her."As long as you help me with what I want, I will not mention your name and even if it fails I still won't mention your name." She reassured me and I nodded.There will be no way this will fail, it has to work for my sanity sake."So even though your husband is a chronic cheat he doesn't want to get divorced from you right?" I asked and she nodded sadly and averted her eyes."I know that he cheats but I have never gotten evi
Thomas POVI went over to Oliver's office to tell him I had handed over the evidence I had of Jerry cheating on his wife to Jerry's wife."Did you really have to give it to his wife?" He asked me and I furrowed his brow in confusion."Well that will help in her court case. I decided to help out since it will benefit both of us if she got half of his property." Thomas replied."Do you think that Jerry will sit there and watch her do all this to him?" Oliver asked me."I hired two private bodyguards for her." He replied."What did you just say you did?" Oliver questioned."I hired two bodyguards to protect her even though she's not aware of it." I said again."You are spending money on someone else." Oliver sighed."I don't think you understand what I mean Oliver. I do not want to see Jerry anywhere around my company. I did not want to see him sit in my shareholders meeting. If spending a bit of money is going to do all that then that's fine with me." I replied.Oliver rolled his eyes a
Thomas POV Mike, my bodyguard , was reluctant to give me the information he had gathered as per my request.I persuaded him to give me what he found out and he sighed as he took out a file he folded out from his jacket and dropped it on the round table in the middle of my living room.I smiled at him and thanked him as I reached out for the file but his voice stopped me."I will advise you once more not to get involved in this sir." Mike said and I raised an eyebrow at that."Is it that bad?" I asked as I ignored his words and took the file and opened it.If it was that bad I need to decide myself so I need to see what was in the file first.I am not some scaredy cat to run away when the right hasn't even begun."It is that bad but I think you should do this as quietly as possible, you should be anonymous in this case and not let anyone know it was you." He advised me.What was he so worried about?I read the first line of a paper in the file and my eyes perked up and my lips turned
Thomas POV The next morning when I was still in bed since it was weekend my cellphone on my nightstand rang waking me up. I groaned as I rolled around in the bed whosoever is calling had such bad timing. I turn off my alarm on weekends because I need a nice long sleep without disturbance. I rolled over to the side where the night stand was and I tapped my hand on the nightstand before touching my phone and taking it. I groggy swiped the answer button without checking it was. "Hello." I said husky as I placed the phone on my ear. "Is that sexy voice only meant for me to hear?" A female voice asked and I furrowed in confusion as I pulled the phone away from my ear and rubbed the back of my hand softly on my eyes and then checked the caller it was Grace. I sighed inwardly ,she shouldn't be having other thoughts about this. I placed the phone back on my ear as I rubbed my palm on my face, then brushed my front hair to the back with my hand. "I was just sleeping and you called."
Grace POVI practically ran out of Mr Thomas apartment as I was so nervous.I can't believe that I asked if I could hug him and he actually accepted.This was not something that I would do but my sister had advised me that if I wanted something sometimes I should take it by force.I decided to put a little pressure on him but I don't think that hugging him would have this much effect on me.I was a blushing mess as I exited his apartment building, I just wanted to get home and hide in my room while smiling into my pillow.I hailed down a cab and got in.I can't still forget the scent of his cologne and the warmth coming from his body and his strong hands wrapped around my body.I want this closeness with him, I know I want him.The cab came to a stop in front of the apartment building my family lived in and I walked in, the elevator was broken and I didn't know when it would be fixed. I just sighed and took the stairs.I came to a stop in front of our door, unlocked it and walked in.
