Chapter Fifty-Four - Being Named As A Tourist.

GRACE'S POV

"Morning, baby." I heard a raspy voice and I really wanted to open my eyes and see. I opened my eyes and I found Alex's face so close to me. His neck was directly in front of my eyes, as he was whispering things in my ears.

He slowly touched his beard-covered jaw on my cheek and pulled away. I gasped at the contact. This proximity was such a new feeling to me.

"As much as I want to lay with you the whole day, we have a tight schedule," Alex muttered and my breathing ragged. I smiled at him and caressed his face. He got a call and once he took it, his face changed.

"Ace, you won't leave the house today." He ordered directly and I gave him a confused look.

"Why? There must be a reason, tell me." Him making such a big statement must have a big reason.

"When I say you don't leave, you don't leave. No office for you, today. Stay home and take rest." He said with a straight face and I gave him a perplexed look.

"Can I just leave now or do I need your permission for that, too?" I asked and he lifted himself off me and I immediately rushed out of the room. Dory called me, but I rushed away into my room and shut the door behind me. I sat down, with my back on the door.

"How could he even Boss me around like that?! How could he! He could just tell me why he said that, couldn't he? But he always had to choose the hard way! Always!" I yelled at no one in particular.

I put on a black pencil skirt, but this ended above my knees, and paired it up with a maroon shirt and put on a maroon lipstick. I sprayed some perfume and tied my hair up in a ponytail and let my bangs fall on my face.

I was going, no matter what he ordered me.

I walked out of the room and didn't find Alex anywhere. I found Dory looking sad and sitting alone on the couch petting Browny who looked sad as well.

"Dory...what happened?" I asked very concerned as I saw her looking so worried. She looked up at me and she had her eyes filled with tears.

"Dory, tell me what's wrong, please." I sat down on my knees and she looked at me.

"Alex left early for Italy and when I called, I was informed that Alex's grandfather Robin had a major heart attack in the night. He was informed just now." Dory muttered.

"But... I...I was with him...when we woke up...how..." I paused as I couldn't contemplate what was happening.

"He left in night suit as he was informed. He didn't let me go with him. I'm afraid of him. He was very close to his grandfather." Tears finally left her eyes and I hugged her.

"Dory...I have to go...to him." I muttered with small treats of my own.

"Please be with him. He needs you. He...he needs you more than his breathing." Dory said and everything inside me churned. For someone so pure, I did wrong running away.

You could've been a little patient.

"I will... Dory, I will. I...love him, a lot." I muttered and looked down on the ground. She stood up hugged me.

"I'm glad you do. Cause loving him...is hard when he is so closed about everything. Don't leave him." She said and I nodded as I knew what she meant.
