CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE
The entire drive back to their mansion was spent in an uncomfortable silence. The radio wasn't even turned on which made matters worse.After an entire hour of driving, Enrique parked his car in their parking lot and got out to open Grace's side, but she beat him to it by getting out and walking angrily into the house.She made sure not to look back at him despite the fact that he was hollering at her.Catching up with her in the bedroom, Enrique said, "Lila, we need to talk.""It's Grace and I have absolutely nothing to discuss with a husband who abandons his wife and then shows up embarrassing her in a public place like that," Grace snapped."Whose fault is it? I can't even believe I've been addressing you as Lila when in fact you were Grace. How did it make you feel, fooling me like that?""I had no choice!""Did you now? That isn't even what I want to discuss. Why in God's name were you dancing so erotically with that random guy like that?" Enrique retorted."Erotically? I wasn't

CHAPTER SIXTY-TWO
It was a great struggle for Grace to mask her excitement at seeing Enrique when she opened the door for him that Sunday.She had woken up at 4am to get herself ready for his visit at 7am. She had done her utter best to look flawless and nothing like a woman who had spent the past few weeks consumed in depression.Enrique had sent a simple text stating what time he was going to pick her up so that they could head to church together and then his family house later for brunch.Since their argument the other night after her episode of clubbing gone wrong, Enrique hadn't reached out to her. That morning was her first time seeing him and she tried her best to sound casual when she said, "you look well."Enrique scoffed, pushing back a stray lock from off of his face. His was breathtakingly handsome as usual. A true sight for sore eyes in his charcoal black suit which hugged his muscular physique."You look good too. Are you ready let's go," Enrique said after taking his eyes off of her beau

CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE
"So please tell us, Lila. Why did-" Aunt Was saying when Grace cut her off with, "it's Grace."Aunt Lucia wrinkled her nose in displeasure and said, "why exactly did you lie about your name? Did you perhaps commit some crime?"Grace turned to Enrique who was by her side. She wasn't sure just how much Enrique had told his family.Just as she was about to speak, Enrique said, "Aunt Lucia, I would prefer it if we didn't discuss this.""Why do you sound so cold to her? Is it because of this slut? She has been nothing, but trouble since she came into your life. A cheap escort who even faked her true identity, I have to ask if you are under some spell or something, Ricky!" Aunt Maria raised her voice.Grace felt like she was just slapped hard across the face at that comment. Enrique got to his feet and pulled Grace up."That's enough! Mum, Dad, you can now see why I didn't want to bring Grace here after all that happened. Why won't Aunt Lucia and Maria just leave my woman alone? Why can't t

CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR
Grace was getting swept away by the feelings Enrique was evoking in her, but then she suddenly pushed his away from her.Enrique drove his fingers through his wet hair and licked his lips while staring fixedly at Grace's beautiful body in front of him."What's the matter?" He frowned, trying to bring her into his arms once again."No, I want you to get out. I was taking a shower and you got in without my permission.""What is this? Do I require a ticket to join my own wife in the shower for a quick one?""A quick one?" Grace choked out. "Get out of here, I'm not a slut and there's no way I'm sleeping with you while you're treating me that way," Grace said, trying not to feel awkward standing naked with Enrique in the shower cubicle."I didn't see you complaining earlier.""I might have lost my mind a bit back then, but there's no way I'm letting you touch me while you are still mad at me.""Come on, Grace. We both want each other, you know how great it is between us, don't deprive us

CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVE
"What are you doing here?" Grace asked, breaking the hug."I apologize for looking you up, but I actually did. I wanted to apologize for what happened the last time," Emmanuel replied."It wasn't your fault and it's fine," Grace smiled."Really? I thought I caused big trouble between you and your husband.""No, you didn't. Enrique isn't like that, he was just shocked at seeing me with someone else whom he didn't know. So how did you find out where I worked?""I actually got your social media handles from Janet Morgan and I discovered that you aren't too active on them. So, I had to ask her where I could find you. I hope you don't mind," he smiled."I don't. Forgive my manners, this is Candy, my very good assistant. Candy, this is Emmanuel, a friend of mine," Grace said in introduction."It's a pleasure to meet you, Candy," Emmanuel smiled."Same here," Candy smiled."It's late and we are already closed, I was just about to drop Candy off and then head home. I'm afraid you got here too

CHAPTER SIXTY-SIX
Grace was at the gym. She increased her speed on the treadmill, forcing herself to stay focused, but her mind kept going back to her fears about her relationship with Enrique.It had been two weeks since Enrique had left for Europe. His continuous involvement with Margot Prescott was the reason why he was always captured in camera by the press.He made sure to call her every night before she went to bed. Grace always replied in low tones, not particularly interested in talking with him after all the rumours that had been circulating as regards his ex and him.He asked the questions in the same format, questions about how she was doing, what she ate, how she was feeling, about the cafe and if Camila was bothering her. Grace found it difficult to understand whether he actually cared or if he was just doing it for show.She made sure not to ask questions about why he was spending so much time with Margot. She didn't want to seem like she didn't trust him, Enrique didn't love Margot, tha

CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN
"You are back from your trip?" Emmanuel asked."Yes, I couldn't stand to spend another night away from the love of my life, it has been unbearable being apart for this long," Enrique replied, kissing Grace's cheek."I can understand. Grace is so beautiful and amazing, it's difficult to stay away from her for too long.""Yes, I guess that's why you are sticking to her so often?""We met at the gym and I took her out for dinner. I hope you don't mind?""Of course not, Mr—" Enrique pretended not to remember his name.All throughout his time away, he had been checking up on Grace and he disliked how the black architect was trying to get close to Grace."It's Emmanuel Sanders," Emmanuel smiled."Okay, it's nice to meet you Emmanuel. I apologize for how our last meeting went. I was really upset at seeing some random guy getting close to my woman," Enrique said, with his Spanish accent sounding more prominent."It's alright, I would totally do the same if I were in your shoes. Grace is a rea

CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHT
Grace rushed out of the bed, bolting straight to the bathroom. She bent over the wash basin and spilled out the contents in her stomach.She felt so sick to her stomach and the gagging continued until she curled up like a ball on the white tiles."Baby, what is wrong with you?"Grace was about to reply, but instead felt another bout of nausea hit her as she threw up once again. Enrique held back her hair the whole time and Grace felt terrible that he was seeing her in such a state."Take it easy, I'm here. You will be fine," Enrique said, patting her back, softly.Grace attempted to get up, but her legs felt so heavy and weak, she only squatted once again.Enrique washed her face with warm water Enrique lifted her up in his arms and placed her on the bed."How long has this been going on?""I don't know, about two or three weeks back," Grace replied weakly. Her head felt like it was spinning around and she just wanted to feel fine.The constant nausea was something she couldn't underst

CHAPTER SIXTY-NINE
"I don't know why I'm feeling so nervous all of a sudden," Grace sighed. She was dressed in a purple business suit with her ginger red hair let down in waves across her shoulders.Her makeup was flawless, making her look regal and untouchable. Enrique had helped with her makeup and dressing because he had been afraid to let her be alone for a second."You have no idea how nervous I am too, but then we have to get you treated. You can't keep feeling this way. I don't like it," Enrique said, arranging her hair to cover the red patch on her neck.Grace suddenly remembered what happened earlier that morning between them and she blushed when she realized that Enrique was also thinking of it."I'm sorry that I got so wild with you like that, you weren't even feeling too good and I did that," Enrique said."Why are you sorry? I wanted every bit of it too."Grace hugged him and then Enrique kissed her forehead before leaving the car.He opened the door for Grace, holding her by the waist. The

CHAPTER SEVENTY
"So what is it? Why won't you tell our close friends about our good news?" Enrique replied when they were seated on a couch in their house. Enrique had decided to stay at home with Grace for the entire day and hence delegated his duties to his executive assistant."I just don't want the news to be out there yet. Camila wouldn't be happy to hear that I'm pregnant, neither will your aunts. I just can't help, but feel reluctant to share such news with them," Grace replied."I never said we would tell them about it. Surely, you will tell Penny and Sophia about the baby at least?""No, not even them. I just want to take it all in first. I'm not even sure I want all of this right now. I don't want to tell anyone until I'm sure," Grace said, honestly. "What do you mean by that? Are you considering a termination of the pregnancy? Why? I don't have a problem with us getting so lucky at once," Enrique said."Enrique, please understand me. I have never been pregnant before, not even while slee
