"You have to let me go"

Grace Said.

"What if i Change your mind?"

He replied.

She couldn't understand how to react.

"I don't think you can do that"

She shook her head.

"What if?"

He asked while grabbing his robe.

Grace gulped nervously, he was looking quite happy.

"Then I'll do whatever you want"

She accepted the challenge.

"Fine"

He Smirked.

"Get ready, we need to leave"

"Where?"

She frowned.

"You will know"

He replied walking out.

Grace got ready, she wore off-white dress and walked out. Dominick was already ready in his black

suit.

She looked at him curiously but he didn't tell her anything. He held her hand and she gave him weird

look, she wasn't expecting him to hold hands like romantic couple.

Dominick hold her hand and they walked downstairs. Her all attention was on their holding hands, his

hand was warm and large. she has never hold hands before.

Grace's lips turned into wide smile.

"Martha"

She ran towards her and hugged her.

Martha was in living room. She hugged her back.

"Where were you, I missed you so much"

Grace said.

"I missed you too... You are looking beautiful, dear"

Martha smiled.

"We are getting late"

Dominick Said.

"We will talk later."

Martha said and Grace nodded.

Grace walked out with Dominick. He was walking ahead. Suddenly Grace screamed loudly and hugged

him from behind.

Dominick quickly got alert and looked around when she screamed, then he realised that his bunny got

scared because of dog who was barking at her.

He suppressed his laugh, she was holding on him for her dear life. But it was reasonable because his

German Shepherds are big and scary.

He stood there and didn't do anything to stop his dogs. He was enjoying her hug.

"Chief car is ready."

His driver said.

"Bunny, they won't do anything to you."

He said and she stepped back from him.

"Are you scared of dogs?"

She looked at embarrassed.

"No, but they look agressive and scarry... Normally I love animals."

She mumbled.

"Good, I'll introduce you to them when we come back..."

He said and opened the car door for her.

"Or may be i shouldn't, they will catch you if you tried to run."

Grace looked at him with wide eyes.

"T_They will eat me alive"

"No, only I can eat you"

He Smirked.

Grace cleared her throat awkwardly and sat inside.

He sat beside her. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

"No one can touch you without my permission, you don't have to worry about anything."

"Why?"

She asked.

"You said I am no one special... You cleared it on that island. Then why did you marry me, why are you

acting like you care for me."

"If i would have told you that i care about you, how you would have react. You would have freaked out,

it would have terrified you because I know you fear me..."

He replied casually while she was looking at him with frown.

"You would have done something stupid. I didn't wanted to ruin my plan"

"Plan?"

She asked confused.

"Yes, Plan to make you mine"

He replied smirking.

Grace looked at him with raised eyebrows.

She stayed silent after that not knowing how to react.

There car come to halt and she looked outside curiously. She got out and looked at Dominick confused

when she realised that it's rehabilitation centre.

He led her inside and she followed him while looking around. It was nice place, with garden and other

facilities. There were many people, some young and some older.

She halted by the glass door when she saw her father in session. He was actively taking part in it which

shows that he wants to leave his addiction.

Her eyes watered when she saw him like that.

Dominick looked at her with small smile. He realised that her father really matters to her otherwise she

wouldn't have done all these things for him. But he also knows that her father has Fucked up so many

things and he would have done it in future too. So he decided to send her to rehabilitation, he talked to

him and her father agreed because he wanted to become better person for his daughter. Grace's father

was really regretting his decisions.

"Don't you want to meet him?"

Dominick asked.

"I will disturb him"

Grace wiped her tears.

She was about to turn Back but her father saw her and came running towards her.

"Grace."

He hugged her tightly and she did the same.

Dominick walked away to give them privacy.

"Are you okay? Did he hurt you?... I told you don't do it"

He said with watery eyes.

"I am fine and now that i have seen you like this, i am feeling better now... Dad i am so proud of you"

She sobbed.

"I should be the one saying that... I am so sorry Grace."

He caressed her head.

"I promise I'll make everything right. We will live like before, i promise."

Grace smiled at him and wiped her tears.

"I am doing great dad, i am fine. He didn't hurt me. You don't have to worry about it. Just focus on

yourself, i want to see my old father. Can you do that for me?"

"Yes, off course my child. I promise"

He kissed her forehead.

"He talked to me"

He said and Grace looked at him.

"It sounds like he loves you... May be that's why he married you and did this for me... But still i want

you to be careful, he is still a criminal and i don't trust him with you. Be careful."

"Yes, now go back. Don't miss it for me."

She sent him back.

Grace looked at her father with sad smile and walked out. She doesn't believe that Dominick can love

her but she can't deny the fact that he is changing. But when she thinks about 'love' with him, it scares

her.

"Why did you do this?"

She asked when she saw him. He was looking at the garden.

Dominick turned around and looked at her.

"Just taking few steps to build your dream life."

He replied.

"Why?"

She gulped.

"You are smart enough to understand 'why' but still you want to act ignorant then we can do that"

He said.

"I can't do this."

Grace shook her head.

"You know it's impossible."

She said in panick. She can't love the man who has given her nothing but fear.

Dominick grabbed her hand and jerked her forward.
