Author’s POV
“You got to be fucking kidding me”
Massimo gritted angrily.
“He dared to do this with our family”
Anamika was sitting on the couch holding her head in disbelief.
“He has brainwashed Grace, dad…”
Alex said.
“She thinks he really cares for her and we are her enemies… I don’t know how to solve this matter, because i am not aware of her mental health… She has forgotten everything, completely blank.”
Massimo closed his eyes to control his anger.
“He dared to play with our family… He needs to pay for this.”
“Poor girl… We don’t know from what she has went through”
Anamika closed her eyes sadly.
“Vlad agreed to meet us but he wants her back…”
Alex declared.
“The fuck we are giving her back…”
Massimo growled.
“She is our family!”
“No! I am not letting her go anywhere”
Anamika looked at Alex.
“I don’t care about your fucking Mafia business… That girl don’t deserve any of this.”
“Grace herself wants to go back”
Alex replied rubbing his forehead.
“Because she doesn’t remember anything!”
Anamika said stubbornly.
“She has no idea that Vlad is using her… Massimo, I don’t care what you have to do__”
She became restless.
Massimo gently grabbed her arms and pulled her closer.
“Trust me, Tigress!”
He gently caressed her cheek trying to make her relax.
“I won’t let her go.”
He promised.
“Now! Be a good girl and take Deep breaths… Your heartbeats are raising…”
He is still scared for her heart condition.
“I hope they didn’t do anything to her”
Anamika closed her eyes and placed her head on his chest, letting him sooth her. Her own nightmares flared in her mind.
“Alex!”
Massimo said while caressing his wife.
“Meet Vlad… You know how to deal with people like him but, he shouldn’t be seeing Grace’s face again…”
Alex nodded with smirk and left the library leaving his parents alone.
Grace was sitting on the bed madly. She didn’t like the way Dominick behaved.
“What are you sulking for!”
Her eyes snapped towards the door when she heard Dom.
He sounded unbothered, he casually took of his watch and tossed it on the counter.
“Are you seriously asking me this?”
Grace asked in disbelief.
“Are you acting dumb or you really are?”
Dom sighed and rolled his eyes.
“You are extreme.”
Grace gasped and sat on her knees looking at him offended.
“I am extreme… Don’t make me count your doings…”
She spat madly.
Dom chuckled at her reaction.
“Why are you so mad, Bunny?”
He cocked his eyebrow.
“Because you are fucking asshole”
She gritted.
Within seconds her tiny jaw was in his clutched. Grace whimpered and tried to push him away but he was stronger.
He twisted her one hand behind her back while she grabbed his wrist with another.
“You have dirty mouth…”
He mumbled on her lips.
“It makes me punish it.”
His hot breath fanned her lips.
His eyes mischievously looked at her.
“Should I punish you?”
He smirked, dragging her closer.
He placed his lips on hers but hissed when she bit him. He quickly released her and and cursed.
“Shit!”
He tested blood in his mouth.
“I told you… Don’t you fucking dare to touch me.”
She smirked.
Dom glared at her.
“You want to test my limits, Fine!”
He said madly and locked the main door.
Grace frowned when he stormed towards the closet and she heard shuffling sounds.
She ignored the nervous lump in her stomach but her eyebrows furrowed when she saw Dominick coming back with handcuffs and leather belt.
Her instant reaction was to run towards the door.
“Take a step forward and I’ll break those pretty legs…”
He warned but she didn’t listen.
She was about to reach the door but was yanked back by him.
“Leave me!”
She screamed.
Grace thrashed in his hold but he was too tough to move.
Grace felt sudden panick in her veins. It was like she wasn’t afraid of him one minute ago and now he is the only one she should be scared off.
Her body started shaking when he looked at the rod over his bed.
“No!”
She tried to fight back.
Dominick didn’t pay attention to her thinking she is trying to trick him with her fake fear.
“Leave me”
She closed her eyes when yanked off her dress.
“Please Stop!”
She sobbed.
She couldn’t open her eyes, it was like she is in other world.
Dom frowned at her reaction, it didn’t look like she was faking it. He stopped and gently touched her arm.
“Grace!”
“Chief please don’t punish me…”
She sobbed.
“Please, i am sorry…”
Dom was taken a back by her words. People call him Chief and his submissives were used to call him the same but he wasn’t expecting this from Grace’s mouth.
That too like she knows him, while in reality she has never seen Dom’s that side. At least that’s what Dom thinks.
He doesn’t know that Grace is having flashback.
“Grace, open your eyes.”
Dom gently shook her.
“Please, Please, Please…”
She pleaded holding her hands tightly around her chest.
“I am sorry…”
Dom clenched his jaw.
“Open your fucking eyes…”
He yelled at her.
Grace obeyed, she slowly opened her eyes but her eyes didn’t look like a Grace Dom knows. There was extreme fear and tiredness.
“Please Don’t hurt, Osman…”
She mumbled before fainting on his chest.
Dom quickly grabbed her before she falls down but he was extremely confused by her reaction.
He thought she will fight back.
“Who the fuck is Osman?”
He closed his eyes frustrated.
He picked her up and placed her on the bed.
“Grace!”
He patted her cheek but she was passed out.
*****
“She looks fine”
Doctor said.
“She should wake up or else you will need a doctor for yourself…”
Dom threatened.
“Dom!”
Anamika warned him, realising that Doctor has started sweating nervously.
Grace whimpered and slowly opened her eyes. She blinked few times to adjust her vision and saw everyone either sitting beside her or standing at the bed.
Doctor breathed in relief when she finally opened her eyes.
“What’s going on?”
She grabbed her throbbing head and tried to lean against the bedpost.
“How are you feeling now, Miss?”
Doctor asked.
Grace looked at the mid age doctor, who was almost bald.
“Terrible!”
She groaned grabbing her head.
“Do you often face situations like this?”
He asked.
“No!..”
She answered.
“Wait! What do you mean by situations like this?”
“As per Chief’s Description, It indicates that you had a flashback of your forgotten life.”
He declared.
Grace looked at him like he is alien.
“I didn’t get any flashback…”
She said madly.
“This asshole!”
She looked at Dominick who was standing there guilty but rolled his eyes when he saw old Grace is back.
“He did something to me…”
Anamika gasped at her words. The grace she knows will never talk to Dom like this.
“God! What happened to her”
She mumbled looking at Bella.
Bella smiled.
“It’s just a trailer”
“Excuse me, i didn’t do anything…”
Dom replied defensively.
“Don’t put blame on me for your fucked up past.”
Grace clenched his jaw and got up from the bed like a angry cat to scratch Dom.
Anamika and Bella held her before she could reach him.
“Grace!”
Anamika was shocked by her reaction.
“I am going to kill him…”
Grace thrashed in their hold.
“Everytime he gets on my fucking nerves…”
“See! You guys were blaming me…”
Dom shrugged.
“Look, who is the crazy one here…”
Grace threw pillow at him which he easily dodged.
“I’ll show you how crazy i am”
Grace yelled at him.
Massimo furrowed his eyebrows at Grace’s new avtar and walked out while shaking his head.
“God bless him this time…”
He chuckled.
“I already know”
Dom mocked.
“Dom!… Leave the room”
Anamika ordered.
“I am going to kill him”
Grace said like a mad woman.
“Grace! Behave yourself…. You are only in shirt.”
Anamika said and Grace looked at her.
She quickly pulled her Shirt down and pulled blanket over her legs.
Anamika and Bella sighed when she finally got distracted by her clothes which she doesn’t remember wearing it.
“Aren’t you afraid of Dom?”
Anamika asked out of curiosity.
Grace scoffed.
“Afraid my ass.”
Anamika looked at Bella flabbergasted by Grace’s changed attitude and Bella shrugged.
“This is our grace!”
