Alexander POV

After calling Dad I made my way to guest room although I've shifted to my own room now, I forget few things, as I was about to twist the door knob it was opened from the other side on seeing it was none other than Grace. I apologized to her if unintentional I've her feel uncomfortable to which she just denied but her voice sounded wobbly as if she cried her heart out. On taking a look on her face, indeed my thoughts were correct

Her doe eyes were red as if they were begging for someone to hold her, to ease her pain, to Love her.

I slowly brought my hand to gently touch her cheek, I asked her

What made you Cry Tesoro mio?

I see surprise in her eyes oh shit,

I mean Grace what happened why were you crying?

No, I... wasn't it's just.... I've little cold.

Oh, okay you should take care Grace, let's go mom is waiting downstairs.

I know she's lying; she has always been like this caring & kind towards others constantly worrying about other but neglecting herself and she had always been one reserved one, it took her good amount to time to trust me but looks like it's gone now. Maybe I can talk to her after dinner.

Author POV

As Grace and Alexander were coming down the marble staircase, Grace heard her name being called by someone familiar,

Grace is that you?

This voice seemed familiar she thought only to see him sitting on couch with one more person

Andrew? It's you? Oh my god

She excitingly went towards him and smiled at him

Well guess my wish of meeting you again were fulfilled by stars itself.

He said in flirtatious manner

You two have meet each other? Uncle James asked

Yes uncle, today while coming back home during the bus ride I meet him. Oh wait!

She quickly searches for something from her purse his wallet

Here you forgot this.

Handing him the wallet he has a surprised look in his eyes.

Thank goodness! I thought I lost it.

Indeed, thank you Grace, my son is pretty forgetful.

This voice......

Uncle Richard! Turning around Grace looked at Alexander whose excitement and happiness was seemed to be beyond sky.

Alexander quickly rushed towards the main entrance and embraced his uncle in a hug.

Richard Blackwood, the owner of Carlo's Business and the brother of James Blackwood. He was a second father to Alexander and he looked up to him with admiration. Mr. Richard always supported Alexander more than his dad ever did, even when Mr. James wanted to send Alexander to Italy his even uncle argued with him. Although he owns some shares of Blackwood Empire, he has his own Business.

Alexander My boy! Look at you now all I can see a Man standing in front of me. Mr. Richard said patting his back.

I'm glad to see you uncle but I've been back since more than a week how come I didn't meet you?
