Authors pov

Dominick looked at her with frown. Grace gasped when he suddenly pushed away making her fall on

the ground.

Grace hissed and looked at him confused but her eyes widened when she saw Dominick on the floor.

She screamed loudly when she realised that someone shot him.

"Dominick"

She rushed towards him but guards quickly surrounded them creating human barrier around them.

Anamika and Massimo ran outside when they heard her scream.

"Oh my god, Dom!"

Anamika screamed.

Massimo grabbed her by arm.

"He is fine, stay here. Don't come out..."

He warned and rushed towards Dominick.

"I want the shooter alive"

Massimo ordered angrily and his men scattered around the area.

"Move aside girl"

He said to Grace who was sitting closer to Dominick with shocked face.

Massimo inspected Dominick, Thankfully he was shot on arm but he was loosing blood. Massimo

picked him up and take him to the hospital.

Till then everyone rushed outside.

"Maa, what happened?"

Alexander asked when he saw Anamika crying.

"Dom h_he got shot"

She cried.

"It's okay, he will be fine... Let's go."

He assured her. He himself was worried but he couldn't show it because his family was already scared.

He took them to the hospital, following closely behind Massimo.

"Dad, how is he?"

Raajnandini asked when the reached hospital.

"They are doing surgery... He will be fine, he got shot on arm."

Massimo replied.

"How can he be fine?"

Anamika yelled.

"He has lost so much blood... And his blood group is rare"

Massimo pulled her in a hug.

"Relax baby, He is fine... They have his blood group... Relax, it's not good for your heart."

Grace was standing in the corner scared, she was worried about him too. She would have been in his

place but he pushed her aside and took a bullet for her.

"Grace, what happened there?"

Alexander asked.

"H_He was walking outside.... I followed him there, i wanted to talk but he pushed me and when i saw

he was on the ground..."

She replied.

"You didn't see the shooter?!"

He asked and she shook her head.

Massimo got call from his man and informed about the culprit. He disconnected the call and looked at

Alexander.

"Who is Rafael?"

Grace's eyes widened when he took his name. She never thought Rafael can do this.

"That bastard..."

Alexander cursed.

"He was working for Dom... Something happened he fired him."

"He is in basement... He confessed that he wanted to kill Grace but accidentally shot Dominick."

Massimo informed and Grace froze.

"Bullshit... Why would he attack Grace. He is lying to save himself."

Alexander said.

But Grace know that this might be true. She insulted Rafael and rejected his praposal may be he was

holding grudges and attacked Grace.

"Don't worry... You are safe here"

Raajnandini hugged Grace.

"He risked his life because of me"

Grace cried.

"He is fine... He will survive, you wouldn't be able to do it."

She assured.

"He is strong"

After few hours doctor came out.

"He is out of danger... It's not that serious. He will recover soon... For now we are keeping him under

observation, you can meet him tomorrow... But i need his old medical records, if you can bring it."

He informed.

"Yes, he has... We'll bring it"

Anamika replied.

He nodded and walked away.

"Alex call Gomez... He knows where is it?"

Anamika said and he nodded.

"He is out of town but he said it's in his study, don't worry I'll bring it..."

He assured.

"Grace come with me"

"Why do you need her?"

Raajnandini asked.

"It's her husband's study... She knows it better than me... Come grace"

He said.

Grace followed him towards the car.

"I don't know anything about his Documents."

Grace said when they come out.

"I know, sit inside. I want to ask you something."

Alexander said.

Grace sat beside him as he started driving.

"Now tell me, what's the story behind this Rafael... I didn't say anything inside because my parents

would have got more stressed..."

"Rafael was the one who told me to me meet Gomez for work... I had no idea that he wants me, he

was very upset that i chose to do contract with Dominick... One day before our marriage he offered me

money to pay loan and gave me marriage proposal but i refused. He even tried to mislead me on the

day of our wedding but Dominick didn't let it happen... I don't know what happened after that, i thought

Dominick has already killed him..."

Grace told him everything.

"So Dominick is aware of all this?"

He asked.

"Yes, I told him everything... Because I knew Rafael will definitely do something..."

She said.

"He is going to pay for it"

Alexander cursed angrily.

He parked the car in front of Dominick's mansion and they both walked inside.

Alexander walked towards his study and Grace was following him but she stopped when she saw

maids cleaning the room which was beside his study.

Grace entered inside when she saw paintings. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw her portraits

everywhere. That room was filled with her paintings.

She saw one painting where a girl was sitting on yacht and looking at the sky, it was familiar.

Realisation hit her, it was her on the yacht when he asked her 'Do you like stars?' it's her painting.

Her eyes watered when she realised that he was drawing her from the beginning. She looked at the

window when she heard bells, it was from wind chime which she gave him on his birthday. She thought

he will throw it but instead he kept it in his special place.

"Damn, he is really fucked up."

She heard Alexander and turned around.

"What more you want, Grace... I have never seen him loving like this. He really wants you... I knew you

are special for him when he punched me for you. Trust me he will never hit me for some random girl,

even after that i heard long lecture from him about whatever I did... May be he fucked up but everyone

deserves a second chance."

Grace wiped her tears but didn't say anything. She went to the hospital with Alexander.

"How is he now?"

Alexander asked Anamika.

"They shifted him in Private ward."

She replied.

"But he is unconscious."

"You go home. I'll stay with him"

Alexander said.

"Can I stay"

Grace asked and they both looked at her.

"Please."

Anamika looked at Alexander and nodded.

"Let her stay..."

She said.

"Call me if anything happens... Guards are here for the security..."

Alexander said and she nodded.

Grace walked inside his ward and sat beside him. His left arm was wrapped in huge bandage. He was

sleeping like a baby.

"Why you always play with me... Sometimes with my body and sometimes with my heart..."

She mumbled as tears escaped from her eyes.

Grace fell asleep beside him and woke up when she felt movements. She quickly looked at him. It was

already morning. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Dominick sat up with groan. He hissed when he tried to move his hand.

"Is it hurting too much?"

Grace asked and he looked at her.

"What are you doing here?"

He asked and she looked at him confused.

"What?"

She mumbled.

"Grace you don't have to be with me out of fear. I know I forced you and it was wrong. I have realised

my mistakes... I can't keep you with me forcefully... I know you want to leave me and you are right in

your place... I am setting you free, You don't have to stay with me..."

He declared and she looked at him shocked.

Anamika knocked on the door and entered with two nurses.

"Please wait outside we need to check him"

Nurse informed.

Grace was still looking at him with shock not believing what she just heard.

"Dominick what happened?"

Anamika asked when she saw Grace's state.

"You can send her wherever you want, I won't stop you anymore."

Dominick said to his mother with straight face.
