Chapter 57
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 57<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace, you don\u2019t deserve anyone kind to you as being kind to you is one\u2019s biggest mistake,\u201d Caden swore everything could insult her. There were fury and sorrow in his eyes.<\/p>\n
Caden\u2019s words hurt Grace a lot.<\/p>\n
She snapped up her head.<\/p>\n
Her gaze dotted with irritation. She had never been so out of control since Leona\u2019s death. Her voice was angrily hoarse.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know nothing! You just don\u2019t know anything! How dare you accuse me!\u201d I\u2019ve suffered what you\u2019ve never suffered. I was deeply hurt by what you don\u2019t understand.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know you too well, great President Shaw. I won\u2019t show up in this room, or in front of you, if you just give her a small punishment.\u201d Maybe it was a moment of insanity that Grace pathetically said in her guttural voice.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t care what you do to her. I don\u2019t care how you punish her. I just want to beg you not to kill her.\u201d She looked at the man\u2019s face above her. She knew him too well as he could throw her into jail when she was still the daughter of family James. It was no wonder he\u2019d take away Ruby\u2019s life.<\/p>\n
Caden didn\u2019t retort as there was confirmation in his eyes.<\/p>\n
Grace was right about him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to make another get killed. Directly or not, I don\u2019t want it anymore,\u201d Grace said sincerely.<\/p>\n
Is she begging for Ruby?<\/p>\n
No!<\/p>\n
Grace didn\u2019t care what would happen to Ruby in the end. All she cared was her life.<\/p>\n
She could never pay off the debt of Leona\u2019s death, which was wasted on saving her.<\/p>\n
It was her debt, her guilt, and her pain.<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t care about Ruby at all. It was true that Ruby was evil and selfish. It was true that she was indifferent.<\/p>\n
But she didn\u2019t want to ruin other\u2019s lives. It wasn\u2019t about good or evil.<\/p>\n
And that was why she \u201cwillingly\u201d came to Caden.<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t care what others thought of her, even if she was taken as a saint or Mother Maria\u2026Anyway, she\u2019d suffered worse when she was treated as a murderer, a prisoner, and a shameless bitch.<\/p>\n
However, Grace\u2019s \u201cI don\u2019t want to make another get killed\u201d irritated Caden.<\/p>\n
Grace meant the death of Leona, but Caden thought she implied the death of Wallis.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, he kissed her hard, ferociously biting her dry lips\u2026For the first time since Wallis\u2019 death, the truth slipped out of this mouth.<\/p>\n
Although he was sure that it was Grace who had killed Wallis, Grace never admitted, not even in the jail. Finally, she confessed.<\/p>\n
The feeling was weird as he didn\u2019t imagine it\u2019d feel so uncomfortable when she admitted what he was sure of.<\/p>\n
\u201cFinally, you admitted it.\u201d A cold voice sounded.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d Grace was confused, then she felt her underpants were yanked off her body.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace, I accept your request, and you\u2019ll pay for it.<\/p>\n
Without any gentle foreplay or caress, he thrust into her. Grace widened her eyes painfully and stared at the ceiling, suffering the tearing-up pain\u2026It seemed pain was all Caden could bring her.<\/p>\n
Overwhelmed by extreme pain, she was gradually getting sane\u2026Caden said she finally admit.<\/p>\n
Admit? Admit what? \u2026Get someone killed?<\/p>\n
Well\u2026He mistook her again.<\/p>\n
With his cold face, Caden noticed the woman beneath him was laughing insanely, \u201cHa-ha, ha-ha, \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you laughing about? Stop it!\u201d<\/p>\n
He was pissed off.<\/p>\n
\u201cHa-ha, ha-ha\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI told you to stop laughing.\u201d<\/p>\n
For no reason, he just hated her laughing, which upset him.<\/p>\n
She was alright when he came to her rescue in the booth.<\/p>\n
\u201cHumbert, where are you? Come over now!\u201d<\/p>\n
Humbert rolled his eyes. \u201cDude, even if I\u2019m your private doctor, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s proper to call me twice in one day.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCome over now. She passed out again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Humbert riled up. \u201cShe? Grace? She\u2019s not that sick. She just needs enough rest and medicine.<\/p>\n
By the way, why is she with you?\u201d<\/p>\n
Humbert thought of something and snapped.<\/p>\n
\u201cHoly Crap! Caden! Don\u2019t you tell me you did something evil to her? Her broken body is not tough enough for you to torture. If you really hate her, why not kill her once and for all?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWait up!\u201d He heard something unusual. \u201cBroken body? She\u2019s not disabled.\u201d<\/p>\n
Humbert smirked and said, \u201cShe\u2019s not that serious, just lacking a kidney.<\/p>\n
Caden\u2019s hand trembled as he heard what Humbert said. Humbert arched one of his eyebrows as he heard Caden\u2019s erratic breath.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ll believe what I said if you see the scar.\u201d<\/p>\n
Caden glanced at the woman on the bed and walked over to her. With phone in his one hand, he slowly rolled up her dress with the other hand.<\/p>\n
Inch by inch\u2026<\/p>\n
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho did this?\u201d His fury bloomed in his cold voice.<\/p>\n
A nasty scar was etched in her skin.<\/p>\n
He held out his shuddering hand, trying to touch it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1262","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1262","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1262"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
