Authors pov

Grace looked at him nervously as his expressions suddenly changed. She was still scared of him,

afterall it can't change overnight.

Dominick saw fear in her eyes and tried to relax, he doesn't want to scare her as she has started

talking freely with him recently.

His eyes roamed on her, she was looking pretty in that dress. He walked towards her and gently pulled

her closer.

Grace gulped when he did that. She wanted to push him away but she was reluctant to try his limits.

She can't do it just like that, she was being careful while talking back or pushing him away. He didn't

like it when she did it before.

Dominick pecked her lips and neck. He was feeling happy today, after all he executed his plan

successfully.

"You were saying something?"

He mumbled on her neck.

Grace tried to avoid sparks which erupted in her body.

"Yesterday Rafael gave me that letter, he said dad is waiting for me outside."

She said and Dominick was listening to her calmly.

"But he lied... And___"

"And what"

He nuzzled in her neck. His hands were wrapped around her waist firmly.

Grace licked her lips. She was afraid that he might get angry, may be he will kill Rafael. She doesn't

want to be a reason for someone's death but she is not stupid enough to risk herself. She knows that if

Rafael can do that thing then he won't hesitate to do it again.

Dominick is the only one who can protect her now even if there is no one to save her from Dominick.

But she will try to lesser her enemies.

"Day before yesterday He offered me money and asked me to M_Marry him."

She said.

Dominick trailed his nose on her collar bone.

"And what did you say?"

He asked.

"I said no... I never wanted to marry a criminal."

She said.

Dominick chuckled.

"I ruined it for you... Didn't I?..."

He looked at her and tucked a loose strand behind her ear. She wasn't wearing earrings.

He took out a eartops from his pocket and Grace frowned when she saw sparkling diamond in it.

"I know what he did..."

Dominick said and she looked at hi shocked.

He took the one eartop and placed it in her ear, it was looking beautiful on her. Grace stayed silent

when he did with the same ear.

"And he will pay for it... You don't have to worry about that. Now, no one can touch you."

He kissed her earlobe.

"Beautiful"

He looked at her adoringly.

"It's a wedding gift."

"I don't need it"

She said nervously. She knows that it's expensive and wasn't in a condition to accept gifts from him.

"But it needs you"

He Smirked pecking her lips.

Grace couldn't how to answer it, he was acting completely different which is very shocking for her.

He went to grab his coat and she looked at the window glass. She touched her ear and small smile

appeared on her lips, it was beautiful. The feminine erge to flaunt it was Irresistible.

Dominick came out and saw her smiling, he didn't disturb her.

"At least it's going somewhere"

He smiled.

Her smile disappeared when he came back. Dominick led her downstairs for breakfast. Grace was

trying to look for Martha in huge dining hall but she wasn't there. Other Maids served their breakfast.

"She took day off..."

Dominick answered knowing that she is looking for Martha.

Grace nodded and kept staring at her food. She had no appetite, not when he is sitting in front of her.

"I want to meet my father"

She said and he looked at her.

"Not today"

He replied eating his food.

"But he is in basement... Why i can't meet him"

She countered.

"You said you will let him go..."

"Eat"

He ordered and Grace looked away madly.

"Grace eat your breakfast... We'll talk later about it."

He sighed but she didn't replied neither she looked at her plate.

She gasped when he dragged her chair closer to his.

"Bunny, it's very hard for me to be patient but i am trying for your sake..."

She looked at him when he said that.

"I can make you do things but i don't want to use those way on you... Don't make it hard for me, be a

good girl."

She can sense the hidden threat under those words.

Dominick brought the spoon to her mouth and she ate it.

"I'll eat it by myself..."

She said nervously and grabbed another spoon for herself.

"Your father is not in basement"

He said and her eyes snapped towards him.

"Then?"

She asked.

"I'll take you to meet him later, now eat your food."

He said.

Grace sighed in relief thinking at least he is not in basement. It was too much in her plate, she tried to

eat as much she can.

"I am in study..."

Dominick said after finishing his breakfast and walked away.

Grace wiped her hands and walked out. If her father is not here then she can leave the house, she

thought.

She reached the main door but guards stopped her.

"Sorry Ma'am, you can't go outside..."

He said.

Grace looked at him shocked. He has locked her in his house, she can't go out like before.

"Let me go."

She demanded.

"Then I have to ask chief first"

He said and she gulped.

Grace turned around and walked towards the back door, she sat there outside in the garden.

She couldn't believe that now she have to take his permission to leave this house. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

He ordered his guards, he already knew that she will try something like this.

"Will I ever be able to get out of this?"

She mumbled as her eyes filled with water.

She was worried that guard will complain to Dominick and he will punish her. He didn't do anything

yesterday but she wasn't sure about today.

She looked up and her stomach churned when she saw Dominick looking at her through the window of

his study room.
