Prev Chapter Next Chapter

When Grace waked up in the morning, her eyes were a bit bloodshot and her mind was totally blank for

a moment. But after a while, she suddenly recalled what had happened yesterday.

She hastily sat up from the bed.

Grace glanced around and found that Caden had left.

She secretly heaved a sigh of relief but the felt a bit bitter in heart… She got up from the bed and finally

noticed that she had slept without wearing anything by his side for the whole night. She mocked at

herself… Were you so relaxed? How could you sleep soundly by his side?

Grace raised her hand and slapped herself on her cheek twice.

She could be relaxed by the side of any other except Caden Shaw!

She suddenly felt tightness in her chest… In the past, when she was imprisoned and had to sleep

beside a toilet bowl, she could not fall asleep. But yesterday, she slept defenselessly and soundly

beside Caden.

How could that be the case? How could she really sleep at ease beside Caden Shaw?

He was Caden Shaw!

The slapping was so loud, revealing how disappointed Grace was at herself.

Grace sat down on the bed in a dejected mood. Her hair became messy because of the two slaps.

There was bitterness in her eyes, but only she herself could understand this kind of bitterness. At the

next second, she slowly raised her head and then silently put on her clothes.

But the buttons of her clothes had been tore over by him.

She got up of the bed. But she was not in an urge to leave; instead, she walked into the washroom,

and then a messy woman appeared in the big, bright mirror.

Grace reached out her hand to turn on the tap, and then cupped water to wash up herself carefully.

She then glanced at her reflection in the mirror. All of a sudden, she fiercely grasped the tooth mug on

the wash stand and intended to smash it onto the reflection.

But she suddenly paused!

The tooth mug was just several centimeters away from the mirror. She just needed to close her eyes

and throw the mug out, and then she could break the mirror into pieces!

However, seeing from the reflection, the woman who was tightly holding the tooth mug, was shivering

violently.

Blue veins popped out on the back of her hand. But she still tightly grasped the tooth mug… After a

long while, she feebly lowered her arm and put down the mug, and then banged her fist on the marble

wash stand for dozens of times as if she couldn’t feel the pain.

With a cracking sound, the door was suddenly opened. Grace felt a puff of wind passing over her, and

at the next second, her arm was grasped by someone and she was pulled by him. The great force

caused her to stammer as she heard an angry shout, “How dare you to hurt yourself?”

As the words were finished, Grace was pulled out of the washroom.

“Let go of me.”

But the man ignored her as if he couldn’t hear it and pulled her towards outside in big steps.

“Let go… Let go… I said let go of me!”

Why she was treated in this manner?

Why he could do everything he wanted to her?

Why had she slept so soundly beside him?!

A gush of hatred surged in her heart.

She hated him!

She hated Wallis Venus!

She hated the James families!

But what she hated most was she herself!

With a loud sound, Grace was thrown into the sofa in the living room. “How dare you to hurt yourself?”

Caden glared at Grace coldly, “Who has given you the right to hurt yourself?”

What Grace was thinking at this moment was that she couldn’t forgive herself for easily falling into

sound sleep beside this man. Since she was charged from the prison, she seldom failed to control her

temper. But this time, she was infuriated; so she shouted in her husky voice, “This is my body! It’s

mine! MINE! Caden Shaw, it’s my body!”

There was obvious accusation of Caden in her red eyes.

“It’s my own body. I have been released from prison. President Shaw, do you understand what it

means?” She panted desperately and stared at him with her red eyes, and then shouted at him loud

with her hoarse voice, “I have been discharged from prison. I’m free now.”

The stubbornness flashed across her eyes as she emphasized it again, “I have been discharged from

prison. I’m free now.”

She wanted to tell him that it was none of his business no matter how she treated herself, for she had

been discharged from prison and was free. She had no relations with him any longer!

Caden squinted and glanced at her meaningfully, “Free?” He curled his lips into an evil smile and

asked, “Free? Tell me, can you be free after depriving someone’s life?”

Grace face, which had become red because of anger, suddenly became bloodless.

He had reminded her… How could her be free since she had owed her a life…Leona, my dear Leona, I

couldn’t pay off it, right? I couldn’t get pure freedom for the rest of my life, right? I couldn’t even decide

on my own life and death, right?!

Leona, thank you for having saved me.

But Leona, I also hated you for having died for me, and for giving me a reason to continue to live.

Leona, I’m so sorry. I’m just a convict with no past, no identity, no families, and no social background,

so I even have no opportunity to carry out my promise to you and repay your life!

Leona, I’m really a nothing-for-good.

Numerous of ideas flashed across Grace’s mind. Suddenly, Grace, who was thrown into the sofa

before, slowly raised her head and looked up at the man, “Let go of me.”

‘Let go of me.’ … Caden was breathless for a moment and his heart skipped one beat. He looked down

at the woman on sofa with a trace of weird emotion in his eyes. It was so weird that Grace was scared

and the hairs rose from her arms.

Caden suddenly smirked but his eyes still looked cold, “Okay, wait until I die.”

Grace’s lips became bloodless and she widened her eyes in confusion and disbelief.

“Caden Shaw, please don’t torture me slowly. Tell me, what the hell do you want to get from me? Isn’t it

enough? I have lost everything!”

She had nothing now. What did this man want to get from her? What could he get from her?!

“I have nothing now! I have lost everything! Look at me, Caden Shaw, look at me.” She propped herself

up from the sofa and leaned towards him until their faces were so close, and said in a husky and sharp

voice, “Look at me carefully! Have a closer look! What do I have now? Caden Shaw, what has triggered

your interest? Tell me! I’ll give it to you as long as I can find it on my body! Tell me! I can give you

everything!”

Leona, my dear Leona, did you see it? I was not that useless.

Caden was shocked by Grace’s beauty at the moment and sighed in heart… This kind of beauty bore

the craziness of a person who was in despair, just like the last struggle of a death row prisoner. He was

so astonished that he even forgot to breathe.

It seemed that… Grace in three years ago had come back… But there was a bit difference.

Her beauty had faded and she was no longer the arrogant daughter of the James family… But today,

this woman’s beauty carrying the craziness of a person who was in despair had shocked him…

“Really?... You can give me everything?” He slowly calmed himself down and asked.
