I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden)

Caden weighed his body on her, he looked at her and her tears quietly.

Grace closed her eyes.

Time was ticking.

Finally, the frown between her brows dissipated.

Caden glanced at the almost empty IV saline bag.

He proceeded to pull out the injection proficiently.

His grandfather made him practice martial art as a child, he partook in real combats and got hurt quite often. To him, pulling out a needle was as easy as a pie.

"Get up," said Caden to Grace plainly after he pulled out the needle, "How long do you plan to stay here? Go back to where you came from."

He was driving her away.

Grace hung her head low, she quietly sat up and tried to push herself off the bed, she stood wobbly on the floor.

"Shoes." He threw an obviously large pair of shoes to her, it was probably his shoes.

Grace stared at her feet and said, "Where are mine?"

Caden folded his arms, he sneered at Grace, "I told you already. You went to work not knowing your own condition and fainted at Gloria's."

"You troubled the company to call you a doctor and put on an IV drip for you."

"But my shoes..." Grace couldn't understand what did this have to do with her missing shoes.

"I said, you fainted at Gloria's. Don't tell me that you thought I was the one that carried you to my room and called the doctor for you?"

""It was Gloria?"

"Yes, Gloria is just too soft-hearted, she called the doctor for you and put you on a drip. Your shoes are probably at her place."

"You were originally at the Royal Club's general manager's office, it would ruin our reputation for you, a nobody, to be lying around in there and having the IV drip on you."

"Only my place was most suitable to let you rest temporarily."

Caden talked so much today and he didn't even realize, when added up it was more than he ever talked last week.

"I didn't take you in willingly."

Grace hung her head low and was silent again. Of course, she knew how much Caden hated her and that he treated her like an annoyance.

She knew it very well that he despised her.

"Thank you, Mr. Shaw, and... I'm sorry."

Thank you and sorry were the only things she could say to him.

Would she be more expressive if it were Leon or Franklin instead?

But the thought of it made her all frantic again, the anger inside her was reignited even though it was completely extinguished just a few moments ago!

Suddenly, Caden hold out his long arms and pulled her towards him, she was in his arms. Before Grace could react, his hand slid down to her skinny waist and Grace's face immediately turned as pale as a sheet. She could clearly feel Caden's warmth from his palm on the right side of her waist.

Who did Caden think he was?

"Tell me, why did Franklin know that one of your kidneys was missing?"

Grace stopped breathing!

What Caden said made her head spun, she felt faint and listless.

Caden looked at her and a flash of jealousy appeared in his eyes, even though he didn't notice it himself.

"Let me tell you!"

Grace was all zoned out, how did Caden found out that Franklin knew about her secret?

Did he investigate her? The thought of it made her felt unspeakable rage out of the blue. Why! Why!

Why could he do whatever he wanted to her?!

Even if she was a convict under labour reform, even if she went to prison!

"You're not saying anything?" Caden was also boiling with anger.

He squinted his eyes... Was there something going on between her and Franklin?

"He saw you naked?"

Grace's heart throbbed in pain upon hearing that!

Caden Shaw, what did you take me as?

She clenched her hands that were hanging by her thighs into a ball.

Grace stayed silent, but she was trembling from anger.

Caden was also enraged and the fact that Grace wasn't saying anything made him misunderstood even more. "How much?"

Grace's eyes were wide open, and she couldn't believe her ears! She felt pain even while breathing.

How much he said...

"Young master Cordon didn't pay me."

"I was willing to just show him everything."

"Who wouldn't like a handsome young man like young master Cordon?"

"And I thought you knew, Mr. Shaw, that I am not worth a penny."

"But young master Cordon was so gentle, I was even willing to pay him. Ah, young master Cordon, I long for his kisses even until today."

In Caden's eyes, she was nothing but a bitch, that was why he could say something like "how much did you got paid".

In Caden's eyes, she was just a tramp!

"I am willing to let young master Cordon use my body again if he wanted to. His kisses made me long for more, that immense pleasure one gets on the bed with young master Cordon was indescribable. Maybe I should try to get him drunk again so that I can get another opportunity to have..."

Grace couldn't say another word without even finishing her sentence!

A forceful kiss landed on her lips!

Caden's handsome face was filled with rage and jealousy!

What was this mouth saying?

How dare she said that she longed for young master Cordon's kisses?

How dare she said that she was willing to let young master Cordon have his way with her again?

Did she want to make love to young master Cordon?

How could she spout the word "making love" so shamelessly?

His anger was piling up in his heart, every sentence she said, added fuel to the fire. Finally, Caden couldn't stand it anymore and shut her annoying mouth up by kissing it ever so forcefully.

He thought about what Grace said about Franklin kisses the whole time he was kissing her. She said that she longed for his kisses always.

They shared a lingering kiss and Grace caved in. It wasn't as if he never kissed her before, but his kisses today were different than last time.

Their breathing got warmer and she felt like she was drowning from his kisses.

Her brain was all mushy, she whimpered unintentionally.

Her whimper was like an aphrodisiac to the atmosphere, the anger in Caden's eyes turned into lust, he quickly pushed her onto the bed.

She was tender and delicate, she already spent a lot of energy spouting all those nonsense just now. She could never win in a real fight.

But she never would've thought that in the end...

Caden didn't do it all the way, it wasn't like he didn't want to, but he suddenly thought of how fragile her body was and that she already went through a lot today.

He hurriedly stood up, Grace was still lying on the bed and her eyes were glossy. It ignited the lust in him, but he said coldly instead, "You're shining with happiness, you really thought that I would make love to you? A woman like you is enough after just one time, not to mention that... Grace, you're filthy."

He strode out of the bedroom upon finishing his sentence. Grace was still lying on the bed, her face as white as a sheet.

"A woman like you was enough after just one time, not to mention that you are filthy." What he said repeated in her mind, he was probably only curious about how it would feel like making love to an ex-convict.

In his eyes, Grace was plain and had no merits. She shouldn't be sad about it, the same thing happened three years ago.

"Grace, you're filthy..."

"Shut up!" She covered her ears and tried to mute the sound repeating in her mind!

"Shut up! You shut up! Shut up!" She felt miserable, but she didn't dare to yell out loud. She suppressed her voice and screamed soundlessly!

She made a repeated low pitch and deep sound as she suppressed her voice. She found it to breathe.
