DAMON'S POV
Grace said yes. I was excited about the family dinner but also nervous. My parents were so sad about her miscarriage. I felt broken and alone, she didn't want to stay with me in "our" room. When I told her to stay with me, so she reminded me everything I have done to her. I was a monster. I raped her, my own wife and tortured her in every possible way. How badly I wish if i could go back in time and changed everything. But everything is done now, she hates me and why wouldn't she? I will try harder to make her forgive me and make her mine again. It kind of feels impossible but I will try, I will never let her go this time. I sighed as I combed my hair and put my Cologne. My parents are about to come, I am excited and nervous at the same time. I went downstairs and Sat on couch and wait for my parents to come.
"Are you nervous Damon"? Asked my maid Maria . She is in her 50s, she is the only one who knows about everything. She was here when I tortured grace, she even tried to stop me but when she left, I went into the depression, she took care of me. Grace is like a daughter to her. She was also sad about her leaving.
"I am Maria". I said and sighed. I hope everything will go great.
"Everything will be fine Damon , trust me". She said and warmly smiled. I "hmm" in response and looked at my watch. Suddenly the door bell rang.
"I'll go get it." Said Maria. I got up and took deep breaths.
"Damon it's good to see you son, how's your shoulder". My mother asked.
"I am fine mom". I said and she hugged me and I hugged her back. I missed my parents. They kind of disowned me when they know about the whole truth behind grace's disappearance.
"Damon, where is grace."asked my sister Jennifer.
"She is in her room." I said and sighed.
"You guys aren't living in the same room right, well I am glad, she isn't gonna forgive you so easily" Jennifer said and glared at me. Jennifer and grace were best friends and when she knew about everything, she hates me and cut ties with me. I heard footsteps and I looked upstairs, there was my angel looking breathtaking as ever, coming downstairs. She was wearing and white off shoulder dress and had a natural look. She is naturally beautiful. She looked down at us and smiled genuinely. Her hair was as perfect as her.
"Oh my god, grace you've changed." Jennifer said and went to hug her. Grace hugged her back.
"I have missed you so much."Jennifer said and sobbed . I looked at my mother she has tears in her eyes too. My father was smiling at her.
"I missed you too" grace said and patted her back.
"Now, don't cry, you will mess up your make up." She said and laughed, Jennifer laughed too.
She looked at my parents and smiled.
"Oh grace my baby." My mother said and hugged her.
"How are you mom." Grace asked and hugged her back.
"I am fine, how are you my baby , i have missed you so much, we all missed you so much, especially Damon do you know he went into depression and tried to kill himself but now you came everything will be fine." My mother said and smiled towards her. She didn't smile back but muttered something under her breath.
"Well, who's hungry." My father joked.
We all seated. Grace sat beside Jennifer, I sat in front of her my parents sat beside me. Maria served dinner and smiled at grace which grace returned. They had their own moment. Grace didn't shed a tear, she was holding it back and covered her face with emotionless face. It is not easy to see what's in her mind. We started talking. Jennifer asked grace about Everything. Grace told us about her best friends Juan and Nick and told us about them, she told us about that she loves working in musical theatre and her boss is her brother. I could see her smiling. I love her smile. She is looking happy. Jennifer was asking her about Juan and grace told her that he was a player but also he is the most amazing person she's ever met. I kind of feel bad about hearing that because I want to be her everything.
"It's so good to hear about you,i am glad that you are doing great, we are happy to have you back, we can be together like before." My mother said and smiled at grace. Grace was clenching her jaw and holding the table as she was trying to control her anger.
"I am here because I am technically married to him, I am not here because I want to be with him again, that will never happen because I don't love him anymore. I love someone else, someone else who is not your son, so please don't tell me that we can be like we were before because we can never be." Grace said and got up from her chair and went in her room. She shut the door loudly.
"Mom why were you said that."said Jennifer.
"I just want her to be like she was before with us." My mother said.
"Do you really think she can forgive him so easily do you even understand what she's been through , losing her child and then being tortured by her own husband, her life wasn't easy mom." Jennifer said and sip the water.
"She said she's in love with someone else, do you know whom she was talking about Damon." My mother asked and I clenched my jaw, I don't like grace to be with that ALEXANDER KNIGHT. I FUCKING HATE him.
"She is in love with ALEXANDER KNIGHT." I said and looked down at my lap, my parents and Jennifer were shocked. Who wouldn't be.
"She is in love with the mafia leader." Jennifer said and gasped.
"Oh god he is dangerous, he is merciless" my mother said and put her hand on her mouth. I sighed. Well what a incredible family dinner.
