Grace's POVI don't know what angel had sent Davis out of the house today, but I was the happiest person when he left this morning for some important business, as he told Helen.I have been searching for a way to leave with my baby girl, but the beast has been spending more time with my daughter than any other thing.I didn't wait for him to leave before I began to search for a way to leave this house without anyone finding out. For the past four days, I have been searching the in and out of the mansion. The place is so big, a dozen families can live here and no one would bother another. I was able to find different exits in the mansion thanks to Lydia, who angrily stomped towards that area two days ago. They were locked, though. It looked like it's been a very long time since they used any of these exits aside from the main door.Helen was playing with a few toys when I came to get her from her room. I watched Davis leave the mansion first and waited for the longest twenty minutes b

Davis's POVIt was when I handled my phone that I realized that it was Helen who had been calling me. I'm so glad I bought her a phone.My smart little girl had described the hotel her mother had taken her to through the phone. Grace just doesn't know who the fuck I am. “Daddy, Mommy said she wanted to take me to get ice cream, but she is sleeping now. I haven't seen the lady who sells the ice cream” Helen had said to me. The anger in my heart was so strong, it took Helen's voice to calm me down not to break the phone in my hand. “Where are you, Helen?” I asked, and my sweetheart described it the best way she could. And thank God, I had placed a tracker on her phone. “I'm coming, baby. I'm coming with the ice cream. Do not wake your mommy, I'm sure she is tired” “Yes, I think so too because she is sleeping” I didn't hang up the call and continued to speak with Helen until I went to the room. I released breaths I didn't know I'd been holding when I saw Helen safe and sound. I fi

Grace's POV The fight went on till Davis pulled me along with him, “Hey, where are you taking me? Helen!” I screamed again. She is the only one that can save me from Davis's cruelty. He hit me against the wall, “If I hear you call Helen one more time!” He snapped, and before he was done saying it, I yelled,“Helen!” “Oh, you little bitch!” He slapped the wall very close to my face and I flinched. “Davis, let her out of here!” Vincent yelled.Before I knew it, Davis pulled me into a room I never knew existed. I didn't know a lot of things existed in this mansion, though. I looked around me to find the room dusty. One would see that the room had never been used because the bed, couch, and other things were neatly covered. When I noticed there was no way out, I began to beg,“I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Davis. I won't try it again”. He ignored my plea and began to move dangerously towards me, while I took slow steps back. My eyes were already teary, I'm dead and gone.We continued our

Grace's POVI had given Helen a two-hour bath, not like it was what I wanted to do, but I just couldn't help myself from drifting to daydreaming Davis kissed me! How dare he? What was he thinking?From time to time, Helen would pinch my hand to pull me back to reality, and she did it again.I smiled at her and took her out of the bathtub. I covered her body with a towel before taking her to her bedroom.“Mommy, will you be following us to the mall? Daddy wants to get me new shoes”. Yeah, as promised, he has to buy them. How rich was Davis?“No honey. I'll be here waiting for you to come back” I kissed her hair that I had just used the towel to clean, It was still wet, though. “Alright,” she replied, making me wonder why she wasn't pressing like usual.I brow-dry her hair with the hand dryer before wearing some new clothes. I helped her pack her dark hair that she had clearly gotten from her father before placing her on the chair. She stood on the chair looking at herself in the mi

Grace's POVI sat there watching Helen as she brought out one by one the things Davis had bought for her. What the hell is this man thinking, wasting money like that? Again, I'll have to have a word with him But on second thought, I'll wait for some days or weeks. God!I haven't been able to stop thinking about the kiss. Worse, it's just taking me back to the night when we had…I can't believe I'm actually thinking about this. I want to stop, but I'm finding it difficult to. Whenever I close my eyes, I see Davis, I open it only to feel his presence as well. And I don't know, but why does Helen look a whole lot like Davis now that I'm looking at her closely?I need to stop my mind from drifting to him. I need to concentrate on how to leave this mansion without thinking of a kiss or his hand that kept moving down my lower back or his expensive cologne or his…“Stop!” “Stop what?” Adrianna asked and I blinked,“Huh?” “You said stop. What—”“Oh, I didn't mean… I mean…. Helen should st
