Grace’s POV
I gathered bubbles in my fist and looked at it like it’s something interesting, just to avoid talking to him.
But it’s impossible considering the fact that i am laying on his chest in the bath tub and he is waiting for me to finish my stupid act.
I somehow avoided his question in bed but it seems impossible now.
To be honest the Dom which left one week ago was little different from this one. He was ignorant and it was good but this one is too stubborn and strict, i must say that i am feeling a bit nervous since he has come back.
The way he controlled me in the bed was surprising to me because he commanded and i obeyed like it’s our routine. I don’t know how it’s working.
He grabbed my hand and i closed my fist tightly but he intertwined his fingers with mine despite of that.
“Are you done acting ignorant?”
His chest grumbled beneath my back.
“I am just trying to relax…”
I mumbled gathering foam with my another hand.
“I asked you something…”
He grabbed my another hand.
“And i think i gave you enough time to think about it.”
I dropped my head and sighed.
“I will answer when i will get one…”
I turned around splashing some water out of the tub.
I rested my hands on his chest and looked at him, he still looks amused and in some kind of dilemma. His eyes are scrutinizing like he is judging my every move.
“I asked you what happened to you but you didn’t answer…”
I said looking into his eyes.
“Give answer and take answer… As simple as that…”
He raised his eyebrow.
“It doesn’t matter what happened to me…”
He grabbed my chin and gently squeezed my lips.
“I need your answer, now!”
I removed his hand and turned around.
“I asked first!”
I replied and laid on his back.
“Answer whenever you feel free… But you are not getting one before that… Now let me enjoy my bubble bath, i am sore.”
He laid back in the tub and tilted my head upward on his chest making me look at him.
“You are supposed to be sore…”
He said and i felt heat rising on my cheeks.
“And answer to your question is i got into accident… Some bruises and cuts that’s it…”
I smiled when finally i won. He answered first.
“You are lying… If it wasn’t that serious then why you ignored my calls. Why you didn’t come home… And why are you acting grumpy… I mean you were already grumpy but not you are acting like a different person…”
“You talk too much now…”
He chuckled.
“What do you mean by now…”
I frowned.
“I was always like this…”
“You had a chance Grace, why did you choose to stay?”
He asked and this time there is no escape.
I got up from his chest and sat at the opposite side of him.
“I don’t know…”
I sighed.
“I don’t know why i stayed… I know it was golden chance..”
I rested my face in my palms.
“I just couldn’t… It felt like i have more reasons to stay than leaving this place. And i don’t know the reasons… Don’t ask me why because my head hurts whenever i try to pressurize myself.”
I looked up when he pulled me closer and took me in his embrace. Fuck, i didn’t know that i was missing this.
I placed my face in his neck while he gently trailed his fingers on my back.
“What are we Dom?.. why this feels more than just sex… Why it’s so different?”
“We will find out soon, Bunny… I promise!”
He held me in his arms. Kissing and caressing me god knows for how long. Like he was waiting to do this.
I wrapped my hands around his shoulder and it hardly fits in my arms.
“God! You are so big…”
I said and he chuckled.
“I am not big… You are small.”
He replied.
I looked at him.
“Excuse me… I am normal. You have those extraordinary genes of the Italian mafia…”
He looks so beautiful with smile but he hardly smiles. I wonder why?
He gently removed wet hair from my face and pecked my lips.
“I missed you, bunny”
He missed me? Really?
“Still you didn’t receive my calls”
I rolled my eyes.
“First of all tell me who the fuck gave you access to phone.”
He asked and scrunched my eyebrows.
“You are so mean…”
I got up from the bathtub.
“Here i was trying to know about you and you are saying this… Unbelievable!”
I grabbed the robe and pulled on.
He got up after me.
“Yeah! Because you are my captive… And you shouldn’t get access to any digital media…”
He wrapped towel around his waist and there was sudden urge to snatch it off.
He looks handsome in suit but i like him without clothes. I smiled to myself with the thought.
“And you still acted careless and left me alone for a week…”
I smirked.
“What if i would have escape?”
He chuckled and it wasn’t friendly chuckle, it was mischievous.
“You really think you can cross the door without my knowledge?…”
“Offcourse… I did… Yesterday!”
I replied.
“Your father let me out without your permission…”
He looked at me with smirk.
“You are still naive… I love it…”
What does he mean?
Massimo is a former king, of course he has authority to control things in this mantion. But is there a possibility that he needs to inform Dom before letting me out of the house.
I looked at Dom, he is almost ready.
“What do you mean?”
I quickly wore random dress and fixed my hair. He was wearing his tie.
“What do you mean by that?”
I stood in front of him. He fixed his tie and grabbed me by my waist.
“It means you are mine and your every move is controlled by me… Even if I am not around you…”
His eyes holds promise.
“Thank God I am not your wife otherwise I would have Kill you everyday…”
I rolled my eyes and started walking towards the door.
But stopped when he didn’t come with me. I turned around and he was standing there with unknown expressions like he didn’t like something, but what?
“Hello Mr. Kidnapper… Let’s go, i am hungry!”
I said and he nodded.
We walked downstairs, His family is already at the dining table. Great! I am always late. It’s so embarrassing.
“Good morning!”
Dom was first to greet them. Anamika’s smile is ear to ear.
She got up and hugged him.
“Welcome back!”
Dom hugged her with same desperation.
“Missed you, Maa.”
“Hi Brother in law”
Bella teased.
“Hi Bella!”
He smiled and i frowned. No, he used to scawl at her everytime. What changed?
He dragged the chair out and looked at me.
I looked at him confused.
“Sit, Grace…”
He said and sat down.
Why is he pulling chair? His family doesn’t know anything about us.
“So how was it?”
Anamika asked and he looked at her.
“Surprised?”
She chuckled.
What are they talking about?
“Hmm! Nothing i can’t fix…”
He replied and looked at me and i ignored him.
I don’t know what they are talking about so i better focus on food.
“I doubt!”
Alex chuckled.
“Welcome to the team…”
He said and Bella slapped his arm.
Am I the only one who doesn’t know what are they talking about, because everyone else seems to understand and enjoy the conversation.
“It won’t be hard to change it…”
Dom replied.
“There is…”
Alex now sounded serious. He looked at me.
“By the way Grace… Your brother called me, he wants to talk to you…”
Alex gave a look to Dom while handing me his phone.
I dropped my spoon and literally snatched the phone from his hand.
“Hello Vlad?…”
My eyes watered when i Heard his voice.
“I am sorry…”
I walked away from the table before i start crying in front of everyone.
I stopped and looked at Alex.
“If you don’t mind, i want to talk to my brother somewhere alone…”
“Off course…”
Alex said instantly, smirking at Dom who was glaring at his plate.
“Thanks”
I said and walked out of dining room.
When i came out i heard faint sound of plates breaking but i didn’t pay much attention because Vlad is on the call.
