Accepted

"Grey… I love you…" Laura's voice echoed throughout the room making everyone gasp. Immediately Grey's wide hands wrapped around her.

"Stella… pinch me… am I dreaming?" Xavier whispered to Stella. Stella pinched his hand. Immediately he cried out in pain. Grey glared at Xavier. Soon Xavier zipped his lips. Watching the whole scene Amelia clenched her fist.

Grey indicated Xavier to continue the meeting and walked out of the conference room holding up Laura. Laura, who was immersed in smelling his fragrance, forgot about her surroundings.

"How romantic they are…" As soon as Grey walked out Xavier mumbled. Immediately Stella hit Xavier's back to warn him. Immediately he cleared his throat to gain people's attention.

"If you guys had enough watching we could continue with the meeting," Xavier said as the crowd was still staring at the door. Immediately everyone concentrated back. But…

"Miss Amelia… Anything wrong?" Xavier raised his eyebrows noticing Amelia who was standing with red cheeks due to anger. Amelia tried to defend herself but suddenly her assistant held her back. She sat back on the chair as she held herself back from exploding.

Meanwhile, Grey walked holding Laura. The people who were walking around stood shocked seeing their boss carrying a girl. As Grey loosed his hold on Laura to open the door Laura tightened up her hold on him.

"Grey… don't leave me… I am sorry. I will never do anything to hurt you." Laura cried out thinking he was pushing her away. Before he could respond Laura started to kiss his face. Grey stopped his walk as her lips started to shower kisses on him.

"Grey… I love you. I am sorry for pushing you away. I am sorry. I couldn't live without you. Please… talk to me." Laura attached her forehead to his. Grey gazed at her closed eyes and then at her shivering lips. Tears were visible on her cheeks.

"Miss Knight. I think you should open your eyes." Grey said in a cold voice. Immediately Laura opened her eyes. She gazed at his emotionless face. She gulped and scanned their surroundings.

The room appeared to be white. Right at the centre a table and a pushback long chair were arranged neatly. At the right end, there was a big couch which faced the glass window with the city view. Laura stood with wide eyes. Grey gazed at her pendant which was gleaming.

"Miss Knight… if you had enough of staring at my cabin you can look at me." Grey's cold low voice made her flinch. Immediately she held Grey's hand and started to cry like a kid.

"Grey… I am sorry… I know I shouldn't do that to you. I just…" she stopped her words and closed her eyes.

"I just… shouldn't kill your Dad. I made a great mistake. Please forgive me. " Laura said in between taking deep breaths. Grey stared at her. Seeing Grey not responding Laura started to curse for her stupidity.

"Even though Wilfred harmed you he is your dad but I just couldn't control myself seeing him hurting you. I couldn't see anything happening to you Grey," she murmured.

"Why? We are just strangers Laura…" Grey held her elbow and pulled her to him. Laura lowered her head.

"Grey… please listen to me…" Laura whispered.

"Okay… I will… Now tell me what you want to say." Grey left her hand and stepped back.

"I am sorry…" Laura said gazing into his eyes. Immediately he smirked.

"For what?" Grey snapped.

"For murdering your dad." Laura lowered her eyes, noticing his intense stare at her.

"Accepted," Grey said. Laura gazed at his cold eyes. Immediately she felt a pain in her heart.

"Grey… I…" Laura hesitated to speak.

"Go on… I am hearing…" Grey crossed his hands on his chest.

"I am sorry… for hiding my… real identity." Laura stammered.

"Accepted," Grey said. Laura gulped as his voice echoed.

"I am sorry…" Laura swallowed her words.

"For what this sorry for…" Grey asked in curiosity.

"Grey… I…" Laura began to sweat as she gathered her words.

"Miss knight… please… tell me what it is. I have to go." Grey said impatiently. Immediately Laura closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Grey… I love you." Said Laura sternly. For a few seconds, there was a pin-drop silence. Laura felt like crying. Tears filled her eyes.

"Accepted" Grey's words entered her ears. Immediately she opened her eyes wide in shock. The tears she had in her eyes started to flow out continuously.

Laura stared at Grey who was still standing as if he was unmoved by her words. But his words made her gaze at him in awe.

"I think I listened to you a lot, Miss Knight," Grey said and proceeded to the door. As he crossed her Laura felt her legs getting shaky. But suddenly Grey scooped Laura's waist in his hand and slammed her back softly to the wall.

"Miss Laura Knight… Do you think I am satisfied with these words of you." Grey stared at Laura's shocked eyes. Grey's eyes travelled to her lips. Slowly he lowered his head and nibbled her lips.

"I just missed your scent… it took a long time for you to come to me," Grey murmured as his breath fell on her lips. She gazed at him perplexed. He smiled.

"I love you" he whispered. Laura widened her eyes in shock.

"I am different… I do not belong here…" Laura complained. Immediately Grey stepped away from her and started to laugh hard. Laura frowned.

"Is it? Then why did you come here running to express your feelings." Grey asked, stopping his laugh. Laura lowered her eyes as she didn't know why she was there confessing her love.

"Or did someone force you?" Grey raised his eyebrows. Laura immediately nodded her head negatively.

"I guess the young princess of the Knight monarchy is not such a fragile girl for being forced to do something," Grey said casually. Instantly Laura stared into his eyes in shock.
