46) LOST EVERYTHING!

Authors pov

Grace was sitting in the corner of her bedroom while crying her heart out.

She lost the last thing which she was cherishing, her self respect. She didn't give in till now because it

was making her feel free from the guilt. But last night she lost everything.

Her eyes are puffy from crying, head started throbbing again when she thought about last night. When

she remembered everything she was shocked, she wasn't ready to believe it. She thought her mind is

Playing games with her but it was true.

She ran outside and saw her marks on his whole body, it disgusted her.

Her moans are ringing in her ear, mocking her for everything.

"Please stop it, please stop."

She screamed while covering her ears.

It's not because she had sex with him, it wasn't something new but what broke her is, she initiated it.

That guilt and regret is too strong to forget just like that.

Till now she avoided doing it so she can walk out of the contract peacefully, knowing that she wasn't

desperate for his attention.

Last night she gave everything to him.

Her mind was filled with negative thoughts,

'he must be laughing at me. He asked me to give in and i Said No!, He won... Last night i became a

whore'

She was letting her mind feed on negative thoughts.

She came back to home before he wakes up. She has no courage to face him and deal with his

arrogant attitude.

Her throat started hurting after crying, she somehow managed to get up and washed her face.

Her eyes fell on her neck and she burst out crying again. Everything is mocking her. She splashed the

water on mirror blurring the image.

"I will never forgive myself for this"

It feels heartbreaking when you loose something which you were cherishing for so long. She regret

going to that club and drinking too much.

She came out and wiped her face. It was her last day of work. He has already given her days off

because of her injuries.

She calmed herself Down and called the Gomez.

"H_Hello, Mr. Gomez..."

"Yes, Grace..."

He answered.

"A_Actually, i am not feeling well t_today..."

She gulped back her tears.

"I hope you remember it's my last day... I was going to come there to give my resignation letter but i

can't come now... Is it okay if i email it to you."

"Yes i know that it's supposed to be your last day... But dear i am not the boss. You know very well who

signs the resignation letters."

Gomez answered.

"But i am not feeling well... Please do something."

Grace pleaded.

"Grace, i can't do anything dear. You have to meet him either way..."

He informed.

Grace Frowned.

"Either way? Why? What happened?"

She asked.

"Grace actually____"

Gomez informed her about everything and Colours from her face slowly drained.

Phone slipped from her hand and her legs give up on her like ground beneath her feet has slipped

away. Property © of .

"Hello, hello grace?"

Gomez tried to get her attention but failed and disconnected the call.

Grace grabbed her head between her hands and went in shock. She couldn't believe in her ears.

From the very first day she was counting each and every second for her freedom. She was relieved

that it's finally coming to an end but everything got destroyed. Her all hopes crashed down.

She was so shocked that she couldn't even cry anymore.

"Grace... Come down, I have got lunch for you"

She heard her father.

Grace stood up and walked downstairs. Her father was setting table, arranging sandwich and soda.

"I thought you will feel better. It's been so long we have had a chat."

He said and turned towards her, he frowned.

"Grace, what happened to your face?... Why are you crying?"

He didn't notice her bruised face till now. He tried to touch her face but she stepped back not letting him

touch her.

"How much did you borrowed again?"

She asked looking at him like a dead body.

Her father gulped.

"Honey, i know I fucked up again but i swear I didn't borrowed it for drugs... My friend told me to invest

in scheme and i thought it will work for us but i lost everything, it was a scam... But i promise, I won't

create any trouble for you. I haven't borrowed from him. It was someone else..."

"You borrow from Gomez"

Grace smiled bitterly as tears rolled down from her eyes.

"Do you know who is he?... Gomez is his right hand, it's his money dad. You again borrowed from

Moretti..."

She yelled.

Her father looked at her shocked.

"What? No!... It can't be"

He grabbed his head in disbelief.

"Why you did it again?"

She screamed at him.

"I told you, I'll handle it... It was almost over dad, you fucked up everything. Why?... Why did you take

his money again?"

She cried.

Her father was taken a back by her outburst.

"Grace please calm down... I am sorry, i am so sorry... I didn't mean to spoil your life but i really tried to

help you with it... Please give me some time, i will handle everything... Please work for him few more

days.'

He pleaded.

Grace scoffed.

"Work?!"

She said bitterly.

"Dad do you have any idea what i am doing to pay your loan?"

She took off her sweater and revealed her neck which is full of Dominick's marks.

Her father's face went pale, he was too stunned to say anything.

"Look at me... I am his whore. I am warning his bed so I can pay your loan... So he won't kill you and

me..."

She declared.

He looked down as his eyes filled with water and shame.

"I SAID LOOK AT ME"

She screamed.

"LOOK WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO ME. IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT..."

He couldn't hold himself back and started crying.

"I am sorry... I am so sorry..."

"You should have let me die on the cold street, at least I would have been free... You shouldn't have

adopted me..."

She said and his heart broke into pieces.

He grabbed her hand and looked at her pleadingly.

"Grace please forgive me... Don't say like that. You are my daughter, i don't care if we have same blood

or not... When i saw your beautiful eyes for the first time, i knew that there is some connection between

us... I couldn't leave you there to die... You are not adopted, I love you more than myself... But i don't

deserve you..."

He took out money from his pocket and placed it in her hand.

"I can't let you ruin your life anymore... Take it and run away from here... This is my problem, i will

handle it... I can't correct the past but i won't let it happen again. You don't deserve it... Not for a man

like me."

Grace frowned at him.

"They will kill you"

"I'll handle it... It's my fault, you sacrificed everything for me, not anymore... I am sorry, i failed as a

father."

He said.

"Go, run"

Grace looked at him as he walked out. Grace sat there on the chair looking at the money in her hand.

Her mind was screaming at her to run away from these chaos but her heart wasn't complying. Afterall

he is her father.

She looked at the door when someone walked in. She frowned while standing up.

"Rafael?"

"I heard whatever happened"

He said.

"I am here to help"

He placed briefcase on the table.

Grace looked at the money which he was offering her. She isn't that much naive to fall for his honey

words.

"And what do you want In it's exchange?..."

She asked.

"Marry me!"

Rafael asked and she looked at him shocked.
