Grace's POV Right now, I think I'd rather choose the ground opening up to swallow me than to go out, but not when my daughter's trust in me is at stake! I shouldn't have pretended and lied to Helen.Out of everyone in this residence, Davis was the one who caught me. I wonder how long he is going to use this against me.The moment I saw the shirt he had passed to me, I felt my legs give way. It took everything in me not to fall to the ground. I don't even know why I kept the fucking shirt! Grace, your words! Damn it! Davis! It's Davis! Oh my God. I'm now swearing too. And the word, Fucking? Davis!I breathed in and out severally, trying to calm myself before opening the door. I know what Davis can do. He'll tell Helen, I know he would, if I don't come out. With my breath held, I stepped out of the bathroom holding the sides of the white round-neck sleeveless top. It was short, it only covered me down to my ass. The rest of my slender legs were exposed. And the fact that I wasn't we
Davis's POV“Tell me” I sat down on the chair, immediately pulling out a box of cigarettes. I need everything and anything that could calm me down. Fuck! Grace is a bitch. “The DDS company is going smoothly, we just need to sign that contract with Mr. Leo, and we are good to go in the partnership contract. The casino has been reopened, Officer Raymond made sure of that. The stripper club FlameAll is lacking some strippers, and we would need to hire. Benson thinks it is wise that we divide the share of the income coming from the underground boxing ring, since it was his idea in the first place—” and I let out a chuckle, disrupting his speech.“Tell him to come to tell me that himself, the motherfucker” Ignoring Benson and his stupid request, I asked,“The Underground” “We are still trying to make the man speak. He claimed he didn't know who had sent him, and he was willing to give up his life for it because the man would come and take over”. “Same old bullshit, huh?” I asked, and I
Grace's POVTwo days and I'm still trying to hide from Davis. We always sit for dinner, but apart from that, I always tried to keep myself busy from his or Helen's talk of an outing. I know if he wants to get me, he can, but for the time being, let me do all I can to stay away from him.Although right now, we are all seated in the dining room having dinner. Helen and her father were discussing how fun their outing today was. Good for them that they could go out, but certainly not me.I quietly ate my food and refused to make a sound. Vincent sat with us in the dining room today as well. “Daddy, you said there was something you wanted to tell Mom and I should remind you,” Helen said, causing my heart to begin to race. I tried not to turn my head to Davis and I hoped he forgets whatsoever it was he wanted to say to me, but I heard Davis say, “Yes honey, thanks for the reminder” he wiped his lips clean before calling “Grace,” I contemplated whether to respond or not, but I knew I di
Davis's POVShe's getting on my fucking nerves! I swear, Helen is the only reason she is still breathing under my roof! She would have been long gone by now. I don't understand how the fuck she thinks and why the fuck she wishes to go out alone with Helen. To think that she is using attending church as an excuse to go out with me. Who the fuck wants to even go out with the bitch? I don't give a damn if she wants to spend the rest of her years indoors! But no one dares to disobey me, and this, I have to make it clear to her. I don't care if I have to lock her up in the dungeon again for her to fear me again.Fuck! I so much wanted to impute that fear in her. I so much want to fucking make her fear me, but Helen, not with Helen around.“Fuck!” Rooting out a cigar from the box, I lit it up to calm my raging heart. To hell with the bitch!“Daddy?” I quickly threw the cigarette out of the window before throwing a sweet in my mouth. Vincent's idea whenever I'm done smoking for Helen's sa
Davis's POV I stood next to the car dressed in my best outfit, waiting for Grace and Helen. Soon, they both came out looking gorgeous. Helen rushed to me, spreading her hands and I immediately caught her and carried her in my arms.Then I looked to see Grace walking towards us. Since she had always been indoors, she had never really dressed to go out of the mansion before. I swallowed as I saw a beautiful new side of her that caused my heart to skip a beat. She was looking like an angel in that white gown and blue jean jacket.She let the beautiful blonde hair fall over her shoulders and she had a little bit of makeup done. Fuck! It was different from the first time I met her. Back in the club, she was looking hot and sexy, giving out seductive vibes. But today, she is decently pretty, like an angel. So she can be sexy and hot if she wants to be and also as pure as an angel if she wants to be also. I smiled as I thanked the heavens that I had taken the time to dress up for this. I
Grace's POVMay the lord in Heaven forgive this human being sitting next to me. Aside from that, Lydia was going to kill me if she saw me with Davis, I knew he was going to ruin this for me. It was from his shirt to this! At first, when I saw him, I couldn't help but hold my breath at how handsome he looked.God! It was like the first time I saw him, only that he had his hair gel on his back today. That day at the club, his hair was rough, screaming the bad and dangerous man that he was. But today, he looked holy.It took everything in me not to pause to stare, especially when he was staring back. His eyes had moved and glanced through every inch of my body. It was when I was standing next to him that I noticed his arm. This human! I just knew that he wasn't taking this church thing seriously. I only rolled my eyes before asking him to go change, only for him to come out with a jean jacket. It took everything in me not to go back inside to change my own jean jacket to a black one.
Grace's POVWith my head down, I had gotten into the car. I refused to sit at the back of the car, so I sat in the front passenger's seat. I didn't want to look at the idiot's face.He had literally held me by the waist and pulled me towards the car, whispering into my ear, “Don't bother slapping my hand away, pastor Julius and his wife are watching the beautiful couple as they walk to their car along with their beautiful little girl” I gritted my teeth as I tried not to flare up. When I looked at him, I saw him grinning like a…Gosh! How did we get here?My head was starting to ache, I looked out the window as I wondered what would become of me now. All of a sudden, I'm thinking about my life, what will happen to me? Will I continue to remain in Davis's house?Just then, a phone began to vibrate in my bag. When I checked it, it wasn't mine, but Davis. I forgot I had hidden his phone in my bag during church service.“It's yours” I passed him the phone, but he held my hand with it, c
Davis's POVThe fuck!The anger I was feeling right now is beyond me! The fuck!Jerry was the one who had called while I was in the car. I knew the motherfucker was going to relate to me bad news. We had managed to catch the man who had tried to kill Helen back in that hotel. The video Jack had sent to Vincent showed us what we needed to trace the man, and we were able to track the fucker to his house. He was captured and brought to the dungeon last night.The plan was to deal the fuck with him today till he confesses but guess the hell what?He escaped! That bastard!It makes me wonder how skilled this person is to escape the torture room. Although the dungeon had more security than the torture room but the fuck! How did he escape? We made sure he was left with only a bed in that room. We had ripped him off everything, including his clothes. He was left with only his boxers. How the hell did he escape the residence as well?It took everything in me not to scream at Jerry when I hear
