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.
Grace's POVMy mother looked teary at this point and even though I did not want to hurt her feelings she needs to understand that she hurt me by allowing Timothy to come into this house."Mum I didn't mean to say something that will hurt you but you have to understand that what you did was unacceptable and disrespectful to me." I explained to her." Have you forgotten what he did to me?" I asked as I took steps towards her."He wanted to apologize." She argued as I sat with her on the couch."His feelings shouldn't matter to you,all that should matter is what I say, don't remind me of things that hurt me mum you are supposed to care for me." I reminded her.I don't know if she seemed to forget that."And that is what I plan to do, that is why I want you to be happy." Mom said."You can still forgive him, Grace." Mom pointed out as she scoot closer to me as she held onto my hands."I have forgiven him, I just don't want to see him here." I told her."If you can forgive him then you can
Thomas POVI have been waiting patiently since I gave the anonymous tip to the police hoping that they will catch him in the act but I haven't heard anything from them so far.I don't know how long I have to wait but I need to get this done immediately.How sneaky can the fool be that the police haven't caught him, I mean he wasn't always the smartest and made wrong decisions all the time.Why can't he just do that now?"Is there somewhere else important that you would rather be ,Mr Thomas?" A voice snapped me out of my thoughts and I glanced at the man sitting in front of me.I sighed.I was yet to find out the reason why he was here and the way that it was fidgeting. I guess it wasn't a good reason.I smiled at him."Oh no this is the only important place I would be." I reassured him as I paid attention to him." I came to work, where else could I possibly want to go?" I asked rhetorically.I should keep my thoughts in my head because they were interfering with my work.The man sit
Thomas POV The woman started crying softly and I was unsure of what to do about this situation. What exactly does she mean by my son? Some of my workers that were in the reception area were staring at the woman strangely and me. Oh gosh I sighed. I don't want another misunderstanding after what happened with Kate. I rather avoid it in any possible way I could think of. The company security walked over to where we were standing and asked me what they should do to the woman and the man. "Escort them outside to avoid further misunderstanding." I informed them as I turned and headed for the elevator with my guards. Even if they wanted to speak with me this was not the way to do it. "Thomas, wait, we need to talk." I heard the woman call out to me but I didn't turn or stop. "He is my son ,he is my son.". I heard the man and woman continuously say as I got into the elevator. I don't understand why people think that they can disrupt someone's workplace with such nonsense attitudes
Thomas's POVThey both flinched and Mike glanced over to me.He shouldn't blame me for my reaction,I was growing impatient at their silence."I think we should first introduce ourselves. I am Simon and this is my wife Mrs Simon." The Man spoke up.I don't need anyone to tell me their names, I need them to tell me why I came here.I already knew their names when I looked over the file concerning them and nothing much was said about their missing child, no picture , nothing, just that they were looking for their child and he was about the same age as me.Looking at the couple in front of me, I don't know what to say in this situation.I just want this weight lifted off my shoulder because no matter how comfortable I am staying alone not knowing my parents I still wonder at times what type of people they were.What type of jobs they did, do I have other siblings?Thoughts like that cross my mind every once in a while and it doesn't go away that easily because no matter how hard I try ,I
Thomas POV After some days I got the results of the DNA test back. I wasn't their kid. They were lying to me and cooked up the story because they wanted to reap where they didn't sow. They must have thought that I would accept their family into my life without asking questions. I don't like the news when Mike, my bodyguard , gave me the results of the DNA test. I was a bit sad because even though I have lived without any family I could rely on , I thought there was a chance they were my family, I was also looking forward to actually having a family. "I think maybe you should go out for the weekend and have some fun." Mike suggested as he saw how I was acting with the news of the DNA test. I glanced up to him. The only fun I will be having now is making those two people homeless. Is everything I asked for ready? "Yes sir everything is ready but won't it be best that will report this to the police ,he might try to do this to someone else?" Mike asked. "Oh we are going to re
Natalia's POVI pondered on it for a while before sending that text message to Thomas.Even though I didn't get a response from him I hoped I would.Because I knew for a fact that my family now cared nothing about me and I needed to get out of this house.If I could do anything to get out of here I will ,even if it meant letting slip something I knew that was happening at home.I knew for a fact that Dad was bad mouthing Thomas to anybody that would care to hear, I am sure it must be bad for business for Thomas so I wanted to tell him about it so he would know I am on his side.Even though I wasn't sure that it would actually help anything or solve any problem between us, I knew it was a step in the right direction because right now at home I was treated like an outcast and someone that didn't exist and I was getting sick of it.If I didn't get back on my feet I would not be respected in this family ever again.Logan is taking it upon himself to taunt and harass me each day and no one
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
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
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
