Chapter 83
\nI’ve Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 83<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace, you are not the girl you used to be.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace\u2019s face froze, \u201cGloria\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace, don\u2019t you notice yourself that you are no more reserved and stiff? Before that, you looked so listless, but now you make me feel like you have come back to life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace tried to respond.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrace, who brought you back to life? Is that the man named Cayne?\u201d However, Gloria did not look happy or satisfied for Grace\u2019s revival at all, but scolded her.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou should know he bears an evil intention to get close to you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gloria was quite aware of the change of Grace at the beginning, but the man who tried to get close to her was a man with evil intention.<\/p>\n
Gloria spoke with difficulty, \u201cI will arrange a new dorm for you. And please promise me you will never meet him again.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo!\u201d Grace refused immediately while clenching her fists. But she also noticed the disappointment hidden in Gloria\u2019s eyes. Grace continued, \u201cGloria, I don\u2019t want to change a new dorm. I promise I will never meet him as long as I get five million in total.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gloria gritted, \u201cGrace, don\u2019t regret it since you insist.\u201d She glared at Grace and shouted. Then she left the office to avoid seeing Grace again.<\/p>\n
Grace stood still in the office, and the warning from Gloria kept lingering in her mind. Of course she knew that Cayne approached her for evil intention.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I just can\u2019t stop myself from being greedy. I want to have the same kind of feelings as a human.\u201d Grace was also aware that she should stay away from Cayne. But his appearance in her life brought her something different and even enlightened her life.<\/p>\n
Her wound used to be a taboo prohibited for anyone to touch, but now she even allowed Cayne to touch her wound a bit.<\/p>\n
Then, what about that man? Could she also dissolve the feud with him bit by bit in the same way? Just as what she did to her own wound.<\/p>\n
Grace was clear that Cayne was poison, but she was still willing to take that poison. She did it not because of affection or love, but the itch to leave like a normal woman aboveboard.<\/p>\n
She knew herself started to live like a normal woman just as anyone else and she had abandoned herself as a walking dead before. And she noticed it was Cayne who changed her from the date he appeared in front of her dorm and the kiss every time he offered on her wound.<\/p>\n
There were only two days left before the deal between Grace and Caden ended. Just as usual, Cayne finished what he should do and was about to leave the dorm, but he was stopped by a hoarse voice, \u201cWait!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnything else?\u201d<\/p>\n
He turned to look at the woman behind him, who remained silent. He noticed Grace was occupied with trouble. But he still waited for her to speak out.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell\u2026\u201d Grace stood in front of Cayne with her both palms drenched with sweat.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust say it. It\u2019s okay. I am listening.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cayne was gentle enough to wait for her words. But Grace still failed to tell him what she wanted to convey though she had been excogitating in her mind for a few days.<\/p>\n
However, it was really ridiculous that the most valuable thing on her body was the wound caused by the man she hated most.<\/p>\n
Looking at the empty stairs, she sneered at herself, \u201cEven if it was poisonous, I am willing to take it. Because it makes me feel like living as a human.\u201d<\/p>\n
She was grateful to Cayne for he got her out of the hell. However, she felt like being pushed into the hell again by him.<\/p>\n
But it did not matter to her, it was she who traded her soul out of greed and bore a vain hope to live aboveboard, but she was destined to live in the hell.<\/p>\n
Though it was quite obvious Cayne was a dose of poison from her view, she still so eager to him. That was because he brought her the feelings of living like a normal human after that hellish experience lasting for three years.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou deserve it, Grace.\u201d She told herself. It was a mark that could never be removed as a prisoner. She was so greedy for something that never belonged to her, but she never learnt a lesson. Why?<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is so hard to get money\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Maybe Caden would go to see her tomorrow.<\/p>\n
She felt a bit plain when Cayne left.<\/p>\n
\u201cLeon, I need another prey.\u201d Just as usual, Cayne would tell Leon to start a new hunting when he finished his previous prey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1288","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1288","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=1288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
