“Aunty,” greet Grace upon entering Alexander's residence. It's been a long time since he's set foot there.
“Grace, is that you?” Maria who was in the kitchen came out and smiled when she saw her adopted daughter.
“Finally you come home,” Maria hugs Grace very tightly. Although Grace was not her real daughter, she always loved her.
“I'm sorry, Aunty. I'm doing a lot of work so I can't go home,” Grace said. He didn't tell the truth because he didn't want to worry about Aunty Grace.
“What are you going to stay here?” ask Maria.
“Yes, I will stay here,” Grace has sent a message earlier to Gregory that tonight she will not return to the apartment. He would stay at Alexander's residence and let go of his longing for Aunty Maria and Uncle Chris.
“Alright then clean yourself first, Aunty will prepare dinner.”
Grace immediately headed for the bedroom she used to occupy. He smiled when he saw that nothing had changed. Everything looks so clean and neat. He was sure that Aunty Maria always asked the maid to clean it even though she did not go back there.
He went to the bathroom and cleaned himself up. He soaked with warm water and a little aroma therapy. When he finished, he took his clothes and went down to meet Aunty Maria.
“Is there anything I can help you with, Aunty?” ask Grace.
“Bring this to the table. Thank you, dear.”
Grace arranged all the side dishes and vegetables onto the table. He also tidied the plates and spoons according to their place.
“What will Theo go home, Aunty?” ask Grace.
“Ya, Aunty who asked her to come here.”
His family got together, the right time for him to announce his wedding plans with Gregory and also the arrival of Gregory's family.
After 30 minutes, Chris who had just met his friends back. He has not been with Oscar and Hector for a long time, so he will not miss the opportunity when his two friends have free time.
“Uncle,” greet Grace.
“Grace! Uncle misses you,” Chris walks up to Grace and hugs her. He rubbed Grace's head.
“I miss you too, Uncle,” Grace returned Chris' embrace, a very warm embrace of Dad. It is undeniable that Grace misses both her parents so much. However, God was kind to her by giving the parents such a good substitute.
“You're crying, Grace?” ask Chris.
“Sorry, Uncle. I just miss you guys so much,” Grace said as she rubbed the tip of her eye.
“Uncle stay to room first yes,” Grace nods her head and returns to the dining room to continue her pending work.

“Married?” Alexander's family was very surprised by what Grace said.
“Are you forced by him? Be honest with Uncle, let Uncle take care of them,” said Chris.
“Congratulations, Grace,” Freya moved to sit next to Grace and clasped her hands, “I'm glad to hear this happy news.”
Freya is currently pregnant with her baby with Theo. Theo becomes very protective of Freya, but Freya is not his name if he does not argue and has an intelligent brain so he can always fool Theo.
“I can help you prepare a beautiful wedding,” Freya said.
“No!” theo shouted, making Freya turn her head and look at her husband.
“Why do you always ban me? So annoying!” grunts Freya.
“You are pregnant. Setting up a wedding is not easy, understand a little,” Theo said.
“True what Theo said, dear. Later let Uncle and Aunty prepare,” said Maria.
“But before that, they want to meet first,” said Grace.
“You just say when and where, we will definitely be there. Or if they want to come here also no problem,” said Chris.
“Thank you, Uncle, Aunty,” Grace hugged them both.
“We just want your happiness, baby,” Maria said with a smile. Mary's motherly aura was so intense and showed warmth to Grace.
“I love you all.”

“Nal, pay the best lawyer to get me out of here. If it doesn't work out, muster all our strength and destroy this place,” Marco said as he got the chance to call. He is currently in custody in the Mexico City police force after he recovered from treatment for a gunshot wound.
“Good, Sir,” says Naldo. Behind the phone, Marco smiled as he was sure he would be out of there soon. In addition to knowing Dante and Vicente, Marco is also known in the underworld in Norway.
Meanwhile, Naldo who had just finished receiving a call from his master, returned to sit in the soft seat that was usually occupied by Marco. He took a sip of the cigar and raised both his feet on the table, enjoying his power.
“He thinks I'm stupid and will help him get free? Just enjoy it all, while I will enjoy everything here,” murmured Naldo without any guilt.
Naldo did not plan at all to help a Marco Lawrence. He would not even care anymore and would let the man remain in Mexico City to receive the punishment.
He laughed loudly in the spacious room and had a very high ceiling with paintings decorating it.
“Protect there, Marco Lawrence!” Once again Naldo laughed so loudly that it seemed to echo in the room.
“Gracia Lawrence, is it time for me to pick you up to return to this mansion? I've changed, now I have it all and will give it back to you, as long as you want to be my wife. I will make you the queen of this mansion and I am the king,” said Naldo with a cynical smile created on his face.
Meanwhile at the Mexico City police station, Marco smiles after contacting Naldo, his confidant. He was convinced that Naldo would soon come to free him.
Just look when I'm free, I'll make you all feel my vengeance. Without knowing that Naldo did not move at all to obey his orders.
