Grace's mind raced as the implications hit her. Grey was having someone investigate his near-drowning incident from years ago?
The betrayal stung. He claimed to trust her completely, yet here he was, conducting a secret investigation behind her back.

If Grey uncovered the truth—that Evelin had actually been his rescuer—Grace would lose everything. Her carefully constructed future as the chairman's wife would crumble to dust.
Among all her potential suitors, Grey represented her best shot at the life she craved. She couldn't let him discover what really happened.
Acting on pure instinct, Grace let herself collapse to the floor, crying out in manufactured pain.
Grey immediately ended his call and rushed back into the room, finding her crumpled on the ground.
"What happened?" His voice carried genuine concern as he hurried to her side.
