Please Me Daddy (Gracie) novel Chapter 215

“When everything is over,” she said carefully, her voice steady but vulnerable, “will you marry me?”

I froze completely.

My eyes locked onto hers as the words sank in. She quickly looked away.

“You don’t have to answer now,” she rushed to say. “I’ve been thinking about it for a while. I even bought a ring to propose to you, but I was scared. Now I don’t care. I want to be brave. I want you to marry me, Apollo. You don’t have to rush anything, I’ll be here, waiting, whenever you’re ready.” (1)

I couldn’t take my eyes off her. She was already starting to look anxious, clearly worried she had said too much, when I reached up and gently cupped her cheeks, my thumbs brushing against her skin.

“You never fail to amaze me, princess,” I said, leaning closer. “I really don’t deserve you.”

Before she could respond, I kissed her, slowly this time, with every unspoken promise pressed into that single moment.

Hi Grace. Missed me?

Grace

“Congratulations, you’re one and a half months pregnant, Miss Grace.”

The words echoed loudly in my ears as I stared at the doctor sitting across from me, disbelief written all over my face. My heart began to pound so hard against my chest that I could feel it in my throat. My body froze in place as my mind struggled to process whether I had heard her correctly or if my exhausted brain was simply playing tricks on me.

But when I looked at the calm confidence in her smile and the certainty in her eyes, I knew immediately that this wasn’t a misunderstanding or a dream.

This was real.

I was really pregnant.

The room felt strangely distant, like someone had muted the world around me. I couldn’t think of what to say or how I was supposed to react. I simply stared at her, my mouth slightly open, my thoughts completely blank. I hadn’t expected this. I came here thinking it was just a stubborn fever that refused to go away, something stress–related, and explainable.

Who would have thought that instead of an illness, it was a life quietly growing inside me?

My fingers curled tightly into my palm as the realization finally began to sink in.

When I didn’t respond, the doctor tilted her head slightly, concern flickering across her face. “Miss Grace? Is something wrong?”

I slowly lifted my gaze to her, trying to speak, but nothing came out.

She smiled gently. “It’s okay, Miss Grace. I’ve seen this many times. Most women are so shocked when they first find out that they don’t even know how to react.” She adjusted the file in her hands and continued calmly. “Let’s take this slowly. I’ll ask you a few questions, alright?”

I nodded, even though my heart was still racing uncontrollably.

“When was the last time you were intimate with your partner?” she asked.

I looked at her, heat rushing to my face almost instantly. “Yesterday,” I answered honestly.

She chuckled lightly, not embarrassed at all. “That’s good. Intimacy is healthy for the body. Now, when was your last period? Did you get it this month?”

Thinking back, I realized something I hadn’t noticed before. I hadn’t gotten my period this month. With everything that had been happening, I hadn’t even thought about it.

“But, how is that possible? One and a half months?“. I asked. “My partner doesn’t… you know, release inside me. He only started recently.”

I knew I was being blunt, but I needed clarity. I needed to understand everything.

Instead of looking uncomfortable, the doctor smiled reassuringly. “It’s actually very possible to get pregnant even if your partner pulls out in time,” she explained patiently. “The withdrawal method isn’t foolproof. Pre–ejaculate fluid can still contain sperm, and timing it perfectly is extremely difficult.”

My heart skipped a beat at her explanation.

So all this time, even when Apollo was careful, even when he always pulled away, I still got pregnant. Instinctively, my hand drifted to my stomach, resting there gently as a soft, relieved smile slowly formed on my lips.

Thank God.

Thank God he was the father.

Even though it had been a long time since I’d been intimate with Charles, there was still a possibility that he could be the father of my child. I didn’t want to take any chances. And yet, even if the baby hadn’t been Apollo’s, I knew I would still love this child with everything I had. But I couldn’t deny the truth stirring inside me.

I was happy that Apollo was the father.

The doctor noticed the change in my expression and smiled. “I can see you’re taking the news well now,” she said. “What about the baby’s father? Are you planning to tell him?”

I lowered my gaze to my stomach and allowed my trembling fingers to rest there fully, pressing my palm gently against the flat surface as though I could somehow feel the fragile life forming inside me, and for a long moment I simply sat there in silence.

At first, a small part of me considered not telling Apollo immediately, because the old me would have hesitated and tried to handle something this life–changing alone, convincing herself that it will only make things harder for the both of us, but I was no longer that woman who hid her pain or her fears. I had promised myself that there would be no more secrets between us, no more silent sacrifices, and no more carrying the world alone when I had someone who willingly stood beside me. $1

I trusted him. I trusted what we had built together, and just like he had been fighting his own demons and pushing himself to overcome his trauma for me, I would also be brave for him.

I lifted my head, steadied my breathing, and nodded firmly as I said, “Yes, I’m telling him.”

When I stepped out of the hospital, the world outside felt strangely different, and the afternoon breeze brushed softly against my face while my thoughts raced faster than ever. The driver waiting at the entrance immediately stepped forward, bowed his head respectfully, and opened the back door of the car for me.

I nodded in thanks and slid into the backseat, settling into the cool leather as the door shut behind me with a quiet click that sounded far too loud.

Through the rearview mirror, the driver glanced at me and asked, “Where to, ma’am?”

“Take me home,”

“Yes, ma’am,” he responded before pulling away from the curb.

As the car began moving, I leaned back and once again placed my hand on my stomach, this time more protectively than before, and a soft smile spread across my lips as I imagined Apollo’s reaction when I told him the truth.

I wanted to surprise him.

My phone suddenly rang in my hand, interrupting my thoughts, and when I looked at the screen and saw Apollo’s name flashing brightly, I could not help but smile immediately.

Talking of the devil.

I answered the video call, and his breathtaking face filled the screen, his sharp features slightly tense and his dark eyes focused entirely on me as though nothing else in his world mattered.

“It’s only been a few hours, Mr. Reed,” I teased gently, trying to hide the excitement bubbling inside me. “Are you missing me already?”

His lips curved faintly, but the concern in his eyes did not disappear as he said, “I heard you went to the hospital. Are you okay?”

I was not surprised that he knew, because with how protective he and my family were, nothing concerning me ever stayed hidden for long.

“Yes, I went,” I admitted calmly. “But I’m okay, so you don’t have to worry.”

He studied my face carefully through the screen, as though trying to detect the slightest hint of deception, and I smiled reassuringly before adding, “I’m really fine, and I’m already on my way home, so when you get back you’ll see that I’m perfectly healthy.”

After a brief pause, he nodded and said, “Alright, but take care of yourself and do not overwork.”

“I won’t,” I promised, then narrowed my eyes playfully and added, “Now go back to your meeting, because I know you’re probably making an entire room of executives wait while you call me.”

The unapologetic look in his eyes confirmed that I was right, and I shook my head fondly before waving lightly at the screen and saying, “Talk to you later. Love you.”

Before he could respond, I ended the call, staring down at my phone with a warm smile that refused to fade.

Suddenly, the car slowed down abruptly and then came to a complete stop, causing my body to shift slightly forward with the unexpected motion.

I frowned and looked up, noticing that we were nowhere near home.

“Why did you stop?” I asked, confused.

The driver didn’t turn to face me. Instead, he spoke quietly, his voice heavy with something that sounded like guilt.

“I’m sorry, Miss Grace. I don’t have a choice. This will help pay all my debts.”

A cold, sharp fear stabbed through my chest at his words.

“What do you mean you’re-”

Before I could finish speaking, the door beside me opened abruptly and someone dressed in a dark hoodie and wearing a mask quickly climbed into the backseat next to me.

My heart began pounding violently against my ribs as I pressed myself back against the seat, “Who are you?”

The person reached up slowly and pulled the mask down.

“Hi Grace. Missed me?”

My breath left my body in a silent gasp as my eyes widened in horror.

Katherine.

The woman who had disappeared days ago without a trace was now sitting inches away from me, her eyes filled with something unhinged and dangerous.

Instinct immediately took over, and I lunged toward the door, grabbing the handle and pulling it desperately, but it would not budge because it had been locked from the front.

I turned toward the driver in disbelief, but he looked away.

Katherine’s lips curved into a cruel smile as she said softly, “Finally, you’re alone. You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting to catch you off guard.”

Before I could say anything, she lifted the steel pipe in her hand and swung it toward my head with brutal force.

The metal collided with my skull, and an explosion of pain tore through me so violently that my vision shattered into blinding white light, and a broken sound escaped my throat as the world around me began spinning uncontrollably.

I collapsed weakly against the seat, my strength draining away far too quickly, and the last conscious thought I had was not about fear or anger but about the tiny life inside me, as my trembling hand instinctively moved to cover my stomach in a desperate attempt to protect my baby.

Hi Grace Missed me?

Then everything went completely dark.
