After class ended, Grace immediately packed up her books before leaving class. She also made sure that the cellphone was kept in the bag, but there were no messages from Mr.Charmond among the piles of incoming messages. Her expression turned disappointed, so that Callin was interested to know the state of her close friend next door."You only need one more week to see Mr. Charmond every day, Grace." Callin said."Do I look like a girl who misses her boyfriend? I don't think so." Grace replied with a cynical face. "I made an important promise with the old man, there is a deal that I must change for our marriage."They left the class towards the campus gate, all courses had ended and gave them the freedom to breathe fresh air outside the campus.Callin laughed at this answer, she knew enough about Grace's struggling life. Until the decision to accept the marriage that Mrs. Launtin wanted, Callin thought it was a form of concern for Grace with childhood wounds and also for her mother."I
From morning to evening, Grace's wedding with Mr.Charmond became a luxurious wedding that filled the hotel room. Billionaires' cars continue to fill the parking area. There are even several billboards showing the faces of Mr.Charmond and Grace as a couple who are happily married today.Grace was surprised to find a sight she had never thought of when she became Mr.Charmond's wife, but it's not difficult for Mr.Charmond's business partners to charge high prices for the sole purpose of congratulating him.Even though it was enough to make Grace feel belonging a chance to boast, but she did not derive any satisfaction from her past desires.Mr.Charmond only provided proof of the transfer of the company, not including Grace's name as a CEO in it. At that time, the argument between them also filled the meeting at Mrs.Launtin's house, and lMr.Charmond still said with the first decision. He will give the chair of CEO when Grace has greater courage in holding the company, thus becoming a lead
_I cursed fate that made my enemy the man I call father._ Grace ManninhattanGrace put a list of Mr. Emeron and Mr. Flip's names on black paper, she posted it in the room with a warning about the grudge that she must finish in the near future. She feels has the power with the position as CEO given by Mr.Charmond, when she will turn twenty years old in the next month.Marriage was not the most beautiful gift for Grace, but the desire to meet her father actually made find happiness that she had never found in life. Happiness to give the suffering that she has felt with her mother, in the house given by Mr.Charmond.From childhood to becoming Mr.Charmond's wife, she had no home to return to except for the kindness of a man who ended up becoming a destiny in life, when she was moving towards adulthood."Grace, why don't you come home to your husband? It's very late." Mrs.Launtin stood in front of the bedroom door, her eyes fixed on the girls who were still busy with campus work."Isn't th
After attending the morning class and ending around eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Grace immediately directed her car towards the office. As per the agreement of Mr.Charmond, whatever happens in the future. Grace was not allowed to leave college. He even guaranteed that Grace's education would be completed in the title of professor.Despite only being met with laughter by the girl, even Grace had no desire to take master. She will only complete a bachelor's degree, if time still allows such an opportunity. She has no specific goals in the future, will only finish today's affairs and all the plans regarding Mr. Emeron. Several eyes gave a cynical look when they saw Grace arriving late, even though she didn't hear any bad words. Grace could read the attitude of Mr.Charmond's employees who still objected to her status as the new CEO.She immediately went up to Mr.Charmond's room, no matter how people saw her as a little girl who had power because of marriage."Is Mr.Charmond inside?"Gr
Grace closed her cell phone when car stopped at one of Mr. Flip's luxury restaurants, she had no plans to go to that place, it's just that the messages that came in a few hours with quite short introductions. Making Grace accept an invitation to meet from her brother. Unbeknownst to Mr.Charmond and her mother, if the two people knew about the meeting this afternoon, she would have been dragged home by Mr.Charmond regardless of the circumstances. Grace went to the restaurant alone, the time she used was during office breaks, because had class this afternoon.The restaurant waiter brought her to a man with a neat and luxurious look, but that smug face didn't change. Grace gave a sinister smile when found Mr. Flip sitting on the chair with his eyes on her."Hey, little sister."The greeting made Grace's laughter present, she pulled a chair not far from Mr. Flip's seat."Who is your sister?! Am I not your business partner, Mr. Flip?" Grace replied calmly, her facial expression not showing
Quite a good morning mood after last night's incident, there were scars on Mr.Charmond's hands when he was cleaning up broken glass, until several times Grace confirmed the condition of the man who had just gotten into the car."It's just a small wound, Grace. It won't kill me." He said with a chuckle when found the attitude of his wife who was quite sweet."I thought you wouldn't die just from a broken glass wound." The answer while fastening the seatbelt.Mr.Charmond took Grace to campus, while he had to have a meeting. Even his personal secretary was already in there."Today you have a business meeting with Mr. Emeron, correct?" Grace asked, her head to Mr.Charmond next door."Yeah, that's right. Have you seen the notes on my desk?"Grace nodded."I hope you act like you don't know about my meeting yesterday afternoon with Mr. Flip at the restaurant. And where did you know all that? You have spies working for me?" She folded arms across chest, there was a curiosity she wanted to know
Grace opens a photo of her mother which is in a small purse, the one she takes with her every time she leaves the house. There was only a photo of her and Mrs.Launtin, a photo with their young faces. When counting down, both of them were still only seventeen years old.According to Grace, Mrs.Launtin's face as a teenager was very shining. Two blue eyeballs that would make any man submit, but from a long story she had heard from her mother. Her meeting with Mr. Emeron when she was nineteen years old. No different from Grace's current age, she even had to accept one man as a partner when she was nineteen years old. Even though Grace had a sad life as a child, the house Mr.Charmond gave her was not a nest of anger, violence or assault from Mrs.Launtin who had to raise her alone. Grace knows that Mrs.Launtin's anger was very big when Mr.Emeron didn't want to involve her in an official marriage, and even left her when Grace was still in the womb. When she was born, she could only carry the
Grace left the work on the table after noticing the arrival of Mr.Charmond, a tall figure with a hint of good looks left, talking to the secretary. Grace's smile filled the corners of her lips, she received a nice gift when Mr.Charmond finished his business meeting with Mr.Emeron."Hi, Mr. Charmond." She greeted the man who opened the door of the room."Hi Grace." He replied. "I see your face is very happy."He confirmed the expression of his wife smiling."Ah, yes. I am indeed happy with your concern." Her fingers brought Mr.Charmond's hand to sit on the chair."Because I?"Grace's eyes narrowed a little to find Mr.Charmond's attitude, as if he didn't know what really happened. Until the man's laughter was heard in the room. Even though there was actually a big regret in Mr. Charmond when he didn't think long about involving Grace with a business project next month."Where are you from? You don't usually come out after the meeting ends." She asked."Meet someone." He deliberately gave
