Prince's POV*

"Well, well, well, look Gracie, your fuck buddy has come to try and save you. Prince, I want my daughter back in this house, right the fuck now," he snaps and I grin.

"Your daughter, Jase? Oh no, Bianca is Grace's daughter, and she's about to become my daughter," I insist. He looks somewhat nervous, but then he starts laughing.

"Your daughter, Prince? And they say I'm insane. Do you really think I'm about to let you take what belongs to me?"

"Well, I guess I'm just going to have to show you I have no plans of living the rest of my life without my fiancé and my daughter," I calmly say. He looks down at Grace and I step forward.

"Grace and Bianca belong to me, you short asshole."

"Aww, what's wrong Jase, you think my height is going to be a problem when I'm kicking your ass? I might be a little small, but when you make the mistake of pissing me off, you're going to see just how mighty I am. I am going to beat with in an inch of your miserable life. We can call it Karma, because you sure the hell didn't have a problem beating Grace with in an inch of her life."

"Have you lost your damn mind, Prince?  Look at you, and look at me, you don't stand a chance going up against me."

"Really, you don't think so, huh? Fine, let's find out." Just me and you, let Grace go."

"Prince, no," Grace snaps. I look down at her and wink.

"You really are insane. I can snap you like a twig." Jase chuckles. 

"Well, prove it instead of standing there like the coward you are. I mean, only cowards and pussy's believe in beating women. You have already proven you're no man, a man protects his lady, he doesn't use her as his punching bag."

"Shit, Jase," Grace panics as Jase grabs her throat and lifts her up.

"Or, how about I just kill your bitch right in front of you? Name calling isn't very nice, Prince."

"Damn it, Jase, come on, show me how much of a man you are. Like you said, I'm small and I don't stand a chance going up against you. You too chicken to fight a man instead of beating on an innocent woman?

"Grace deserves to die. She betrayed me. You have exactly one second to get my daughter in this house, or I will put a bullet in her head," he demands. I take a deep breath and look into Grace's terrified eyes.

"Don't you dare bring my daughter back into this house, Prince. Forget about me, Bianca is the one who is important.  After he kills me I already know you will kill him, Bianca needs you, Prince. I changed my will, I want you to raise my daughter. Walk away, please,  Bianca needs you if I can't be here to raise her and love her," she pleads.

"What do you mean you changed your will, Grace? Bianca belongs to me, and she will stay with me."

"Like hell she will, Jase. I had to make sure someone I trust will raise her and love her, that has never been you. Prince will be the one raising her."

"You bitch, you two better start saying your good-byes, cause you have less than 5 seconds to live. Any last words?"


"Yes, Prince, I love you too. Oh my god, I am so sorry I got you involved in my nightmare. I never wanted you to get hurt, I never wanted to drag you into this with me.  I know I'm asking a lot of you, but I don't trust anyone else raising Bianca. Just please, when she's older and she ask where her mommy is, tell her I did this in order to protect her. Please tell her I will always love her, and I will always love you," she sobs and I smile.

"Well, I would tell her all of that, if you weren't here, but you will be here, Grace. Do you really I came here with no back up?"

"What, Prince."

"Grace isn't the one who has less than five seconds to live, Jase, you are. Grace, use your head," I say. She tosses her back cracking his nose. She reaches out for me and I wrap my arm around her waist. We both fall to the floor and I use my body to shield hers. A single bullet breaks through the window, hitting Jase in the head.

"Oh god, Prince. Who just shot Jase?"

"Hey, you two alright?" Jerome asks us. Grace looks up to see him holding a riffle.

"Jerome, you shot Jase? Oh my god, the cops are going to arrest you, you will be charged with murder."

"No chance of that happening, Gracie."

"Why is there no chance of that happening, Jerome?"

"Cause, baby girl, I am the cops."

"What?"

"Grace, Jerome was an under cover cop before he came to work for me," I assure her. More cops come in and carries Jase out side.

"Prince, Grace, you two go home. I'll stay her and give my statement."

"Please tell me this is finally over. I no longer have to live in fear for myself or my daughter," she cries. I wrap my arms around her and help her up.

"Grace, it's over baby, it's finally over you no longer have to live in fear. Come on, let's get you and Bianca home," I say. She looks up at me.

"Do you mean your home, Prince?"

"No, Grace, I mean our home.  I'm tired of being afraid of opening my heart to you, you're already in my heart," I kiss her forehead and help her in the truck. I slide in and see Bianca sleeping on  Rick's lap. I gently pick her up and lean her against my chest.

"Are you sure about this, Prince?" Grace asks me. I gently kiss her lips.

"I have never been more sure about anything in my entire life. I really do love you, Grace."

I love you too, Prince,very much."


Kind of a short chapter this time, but the next chapter is what we have been waiting for. Prince and Grace share their love in a beautiful way.
