Chapter Forty-Eight - Being Named As His.

-----

GRACE'S POV

I immediately called Dylan. He took my call on the very first attempt and I sighed, in relief that he took the call.

"Dylan, where are you?? Please tell me you didn't leave home yet?" I asked in a panic state. I just wanted him to get that bag as soon as possible.

"I just dropped Master and heading to the garage." He said and I eyes widened. Alex is here! My demeanour changed into fear, of what will happen when he'll see me and think that I'd didn't accept his proposal.

"Dylan, please, I really need a small favour from you. Please." I begged.

"Grace, you just ask once, don't have to plead." He said and I sighed with a smile and nodded but then realised that he couldn't see me.

"Dylan, please go home and get a packet of Tiffany's that is on my dresser. It has a box with a chain in it. Please get me that as soon as possible." I informed him.

"You got it. I'll be there soon." He said and I sighed.

"I couldn't thank you enough, Dylan," I said feeling so happy that he was ready so soon.

"Sure, Grace. I'll be there soon. Bye." He said and hung up and I waited impatiently for the chain to arrive.

Dory had been forcing me to come down with her, but I couldn't. I needed that chain before Alex saw me and got hurt again. I paced in the room and Dory was clueless. She tried and left, but this time, she came again.

"Grace, Marilyn wants only you to escort her downstairs." She said to me in a worried tone and I released a deep sigh. I couldn't deny her, she was Alex's Grandma.

"Okay, I'll take her down and soon come up," I told her and she nodded eagerly. I rushed out as I wore my heels and walked to Grandma Marilyn and held onto her as I guided her down the stairs.

"Thank you, Grace. I don't know what are you worried about. You do look pretty and Alex is trying to find you ever since." She informed me and my heart beat faster.

"Grandma, you don't know. I have to wear a necklace that Alex got for me. It is an answer to his proposal to me. If he found me without it, it'll just break his heart. It took too much time for us to be here and I... don't want to lose him." I muttered in a hurry.

"Oh, then I think it is too late." She said and pointed towards the person in front of me. Alex stood there and his eyes travelled to my empty neck and I could see the hurt flash in his eyes.

"Grandma, I need to go, now!" I said and rushed to Alex who left in a hurry. I followed him upstairs and then to the door and opened it to find an open space. It was like a small terrace.

"Alex! Alex listen to me!" I said immediately as I found him stood in the corner.

"No, Grace. I saw the empty neck and I know my answer now. I was a fool who thought you will accept my proposal. Who would want to stay with an arrogant guy like me, it is okay, Grace, I don't blame you." He muttered and I could hear his voice break.

I had never seen him sound so vulnerable. I felt at fault.

"Alex, let me explain once!" I said loudly but he won't let me speak.

"You don't need to explain anything to me. It's okay. I'll be fine. You leave or I can leave." He said and tried to leave the terrace and my dress stuck and I couldn't move.
