Imprisoned by the CEO

“You will have to marry me and bear me a child.”  “What the fuck?!” Logic flew out of the window when Grace heard him say that. “Excuse me, what did you just say?”  Maybe, she was the one who had heard him wrong. It could have been anything except marrying him and giving him a child.  “You heard me,” Christian tsked, “but I’ll repeat it. Marry me and have my child.”  Her mouth opened and gaped at me. In her mind, she was trying to make sense about what was going on. How in the world had it come to be? What in the world could make the situation come to this?!  “No?” Grace replied, but then realized that the word was not firm enough. “No.” she said again. Christian frowned, and it seemed so innocent like he had not asked her the most unbelievable thing. “Why not? I thought you wanted to help me. You offered.”  “I offered my help, my brain, my support not my,” she hesitated, “stomach!”  What was the word for it? “Womb,” he provided.  “Yes!” She slapped her hand on the table. “You don’t get my womb!”   “I don’t?” He challenged.  “No!”  “What if helping me out means Lorelai coming out of a coma?”  Grace felt her heart drop. “What?”  Christian nodded. “What if helping me out, agreeing to what you have to do for me, means bringing your grandmother out of the, that she is in?”  ******** Grace  was one strong girl and with the people she put her trust in, that was only a small number, she knew she could conquer the world, or at least she thought to herself.  When her best friend proposed a deal that could change their lives, she made a decision that was going to be mutually beneficial to both of them.  But one renovation led to many and everything has been just a game, a manipulation from him. Everything was full of deceit, lies, planning and plotting against her. Every single thing, right down the fact that only he had been her friend…  Everything was a lie and she had been living it, willingly.  Tropes; Friends to lovers, office romance, best friends, frenemies, marriage of convenience, possessive villainous and morally gray heroes!

A cappuccino- I

The pounding in her head made her wince. It hurt.

Her brain hurt.

She opened her eyes forcefully only to close them just as quickly. It was bright, too fucking bright for her to keep her eyes open.

What the fuck?

Grace sat up and opened her eyes, then arrow them into slits as she looked around the green. This was not her apartment.

Where was she?

Taking the blanket off of her, her eyes went through the very decorated room. It was minimally decorated, and it gave the idea that no one lived in the room. There were no personal touches for anyone.

Grace placed her hands on her waist and touched cotton. She looked down. She was wearing a cotton shirt, a huge cotton shirt.

The hell?

Somebody changed her? Mia?

She frowned, trying to remember details, but only came up with the vague ones.

Mia had been there. She had gone to the club with Mia and had quite a lot to drink. The pain in her head was a testimony to that.

What happened after that?

Who got her home? Where was Mia?

Grace moved towards the door of the room and opened it, coming into the hallway. One end was there whereas the other one letter to a bigger and open area. She followed it and came into the living space.

Whose house was this?

it was obviously not hers. Mia's house was more in a bag and pink tones, resembling a soft corner of an aesthetic that she often talked about. This house was minimal, in gray, brown and dark tones. This house belongs to a man by the looks of it.

Who?

She took another step, coming closer to the sitting area.

"You are awake."

She gasped and whirled around to the direction of the boys, finding herself looking at the kitchen and at him.

Christian. "You."

"Me," Christian smiled a little, "Good morning, Grace."

"Good morning." She wished back. "Is this your house?"

"Penthouse, yes." He corrected her. "Would you like a cup of coffee?"

"Can you make a cappuccino?" The words left her mouth before she could even control them. He was definitely going to say Italian heritage. No, he would not, he would not—

"Madam Italian and heritage." Christain chuckled and turned around, getting started as support stuff out of the cabinets.

What was happening?

Grace kept her eyes on her one's best friend and slowly moved to the kitchen. Only two barstools were attached to the counter that stood as a line of border in between the living space and the kitchen. She did not sit in one, rather just stood with her hands on the counter, watching him carefully as he made her a cup of cappuccino.

Christain was making her cappuccino. He was making her something after three years of no communication from his side and from her own. Three years of not answering any of her calls and simply leaving..

With cappuccino ready, he placed the cup on the saucer in front of her. "Enjoy."

She glanced at it, scowled and looked back at him. "What the fuck?"
