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!

Day drinking -I

At first, Grace had decided to randomly drive around the area. She had done that for precisely 30 minutes before the realization hit her. How long could she drive for? Gas cost money, and at the moment, she was obviously short on it. Who knows when she was going to get the next job? If, it was going to be a good one.

She had remembered to read the recommendation letter, and it was glorifying to say the least. Clara must have used some words from Google or Oxford dictionary, because those were not in anyone's ordinary vocabulary.

A glorifying recommendation was great especially when Clara had mentioned her personal number for a phone call if needed, but in today's date, it was just not enough. Sure, she had the apartment in her name, so the rent was covered, but the electricity and the water bill would have to be taken care of.

Her grandmother was going to support her for sure, even pitch in money, but for how long?

She parked the car in her designated spot for her apartment building before getting out with the box in her hand, while the purse was edged between her side and her arm.

Thankfully, she met no one on the way up to her apartment. Opening the door after unlocking the door, she slammed it with a kick, not caring if her grandmother heard her.

Grace paused, hearing for any sounds of kitten heels, clicking on the floor and coming towards her. When she had none, she concluded that her grandmother was again playing bingo on a Monday.

A Retirees life was better than her at the moment.

She sighed loudly as she slammed the box on the table and then fell back on the couch.

Unemployed. Fuck.

Alejandro Vega had fired her. Miguel was probably in on it as well. Of course, the brothers would keep each other informed about the decisions.

She really had thought that Miguel had been interested in her. Maybe that was not the case anymore, because if he had been interested in her, he would have stood by her side in this. She had not stood in any information, and he knew that she had been played by her superior, and he knew that too.

He should have taken her.. she thought so in disappointment. She would have done the same for him.

Grace looked towards the kitchen. The groceries were stopped, the pantry was full, bills were paid for this month. This month she was not going to have any problem. But still, she had to start looking for a job as soon as possible.

She then looked at the staff she had brought back from the office she worked at.

Perhaps it Was not too late to go for a party..
