Villains Fated Lovers

Chapter 5: Grace

The maid bowed at me before leaving my room. It was morning, two days after I went to the forest with Xander. The whole experience was magical. We were going to a party tonight too but I guess parties don't suck as much as they did before because Xander is always with me. The bitchy Bella remains bitchy but hey, that's the least of my concerns. The maid came to my room to wake me up then she left after I was awake.

I yawned and stretched my arms around and then finally got up. Fuck! I look like a zombie. Probably because of reading late at night again. How many times do I have to tell you Grace stop disagreeing with your freaking brain but no. You had to know if Lila gets killed for the plot or not. Shitty as curiosity.

I walked closer to my phone to see if I had any messages from Xander and when I checked no surprise I did. His messages always makes me smile. Usually they are good morning messages but this one is unique. It says, "I know your sleeping right now and wouldn't see my message right away but I just wanted to tell you good morning and that I love you. By the way do you wanna match outfits for the party. You liked it so I thought I'll ask."

Ohhh my god. He really knows how to flatter me. Of course I wanted to match outfits with him. I replied with a thumbs up and a heart emoji and left to brush my teeth and to freshen up.

Soon after I went down stairs to have breakfast but when I got to the dining table I noticed how my parents weren't there. I wonder where they are but nevermind. I guess they have work. I sat on the dining table as the maid brought me my food.

I'm so freaking excited for the party. What colour should I pick for my outfit. Let me think... My favorite colour is purple but Xander's favorite colour is coffee brown. A brown suit and a brown dress?... or a purple suit and a purple dress? Chill out Grace those are not the only colours in the word. Nevermind I'll just ask Xander.

I saw a maid and asked "Do you know where my parents are?". The maid looked hesitant to tell me but came towards me and whispered in my ear as she said "They had a fight but told everyone not to tell you. Please don't tell anyone that I told you" I raised my eyebrows at her and nodded. My parents had a fight? There's no way. My dad is always around my mom apologizing whenever they get into an argument even if it wasn't his fault. That's way things never actually got serious in between them but today they didn't even had breakfast with me? Something must have happened.

"Listen miss, Grace. Your home tutor will soon be here so please eat quickly so that you don't hold her waiting" The maid said as I put another piece of pancake in my mouth.

When I was finally done with my breakfast I got up and went to the study room and sat down on the couch waiting for my home tutor but she never came. Let me guess... My parents are discarding my education again for some party? God! I hate it when they do this. The party is in evening but these people just tell the teacher to not come and take a leave? I looked at the wall clock. At freaking 8:42 in the morning. My face is probably a bitch face right now but I can't help it. As someone who never got to see a school in their whole life I personally like learning. I like to read, I like to take tests and I like when I prove people wrong. That is, that rarely happens but still. Though I wonder what Xander must be doing.

I can't wait to rant to him about all of this and once I do get a chance I will- My thoughts were once again interrupted by my mother storming in and snatching the history book from my hands and throwing it across the room on a chair. "What happened mom?" I looked up at her. Her eyes full of disgust and rage as she said "Get up Grace. We're dropping you off at the Elrod's". What just happened? Seriously though what is going on.

"What happened mom? Where are you and dad going?". "Ohhh baby me and your father aren't going anywhere but me and you are going to stay at the Elrod's for sometime". My mother looked tense so I didn't said anything further and just got up and started walking towards the door. "Grace just grab your phone and go" I looked back at my mother with a confused expression on my face.
