Steal my heart novel (Grace James and Caden Shaw)
Chapter 57 I Can't Afford to Owe Another Life

"Grace, you don't deserve anyone kind to you as being kind to you is one's biggest mistake," Caden swore everything could insult her. There were fury and sorrow in his eyes.

Caden's words hurt Grace a lot.

She snapped up her head.

Her gaze dotted with irritation. She had never been so out of control since Leona's death. Her voice was angrily hoarse.

"You know nothing! You just don't know anything! How dare you accuse me!" I've suffered what you've never suffered. I was deeply hurt by what you don't understand.

"I know you too well, great President Shaw. I won't show up in this room, or in front of you, if you just give her a small punishment." Maybe it was a moment of insanity that Grace pathetically said in her guttural voice.

"I don't care what you do to her. I don't care how you punish her. I just want to beg you not to kill her." She looked at the man's 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'd take away Ruby's life.

Caden didn't retort as there was confirmation in his eyes.

Grace was right about him.

"I don't want to make another get killed. Directly or not, I don't want it anymore," Grace said sincerely.

Is she begging for Ruby?

No!

Grace didn't care what would happen to Ruby in the end. All she cared was her life.

She could never pay off the debt of Leona's death, which was wasted on saving her.

It was her debt, her guilt, and her pain.

She didn't care about Ruby at all. It was true that Ruby was evil and selfish. It was true that she was indifferent.

But she didn't want to ruin other's lives. It wasn't about good or evil.

And that was why she "willingly" came to Caden.

She didn't care what others thought of her, even if she was taken as a saint or Mother Maria... Anyway, she'd suffered worse when she was treated as a murderer, a prisoner, and a shameless bitch. However, Grace's "I don't want to make another get killed" irritated Caden.

Grace meant the death of Leona, but Caden thought she implied the death of Wallis.

Suddenly, he kissed her hard, ferociously biting her dry lips... For the first time since Wallis' death, the truth slipped out of this mouth.

Although he was sure that it was Grace who had killed Wallis, Grace never admitted, not even in the jail. Finally, she confessed.

The feeling was weird as he didn't imagine it'd feel so uncomfortable when she admitted what he was sure of.

"Finally, you admitted it." A cold voice sounded.

"What?" Grace was confused, then she felt her underpants were yanked off her body.

"Grace, I accept your request, and you'll pay for it.

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... It seemed pain was all Caden could bring her. Overwhelmed by extreme pain, she was gradually getting sane... Caden said she finally admit.

Admit? Admit what? ...Get someone killed?

Well... He mistook her again.

With his cold face, Caden noticed the woman beneath him was laughing insanely, "Ha-ha, ha-ha, ..."

"What are you laughing about? Stop it!"

He was pissed off.

"Ha-ha, ha-ha..."

"I told you to stop laughing."

For no reason, he just hated her laughing, which upset him.

He suddenly slammed into her hard.

"Ah...Ha-ha...Ah...Ha-ha...ha-ha..." He wanted to make her feel the pain, but she laughed through it.

What's so funny?

She was the bitch to be blame. She was the murderer who got Wallis killed. How dare she laugh out loud! "Shut up your fucking mouth!" He yelled, which didn't work. He was annoyed as he got an idea.

"Hmm!" Caden leaned down and pressed his lip on hers.

Now she could shut up.

Next second!

"Ouch!" Caden snapped up his head, his thumb swiped away the blood on the corner of his lips. "You bite me?" He questioned her.

The woman opened her mouth and said in her guttural voice, "President Shaw, I admit that I did get someone get killed, but it wasn't your Wallis." She closed her eyes after saying it. She was too exhausted... to say anything... Before passing out, she still thought about:

To explain it?

Will it work?

Will he listen to me?

Why to explain if he doesn't listen to me.

I'll explain to someone that is ready to listen to me.

"Hey, open your eyes!" Did she close her eyes to avoid him?

Caden narrowed his eyes and bellowed, "Open them up!"

But she gave no response. Caden nudged her, and her head limply fell to the side. Caden's heart skipped a beat. "Grace! Grace!"

He was shocked as he moved backwards. He cradled her in his arms and rushed to the bedroom.

Holy crap! How came she was so hot?

She was alright when he came to her rescue in the booth.

"Humbert, where are you? Come over now!"

Humbert rolled his eyes. "Dude, even if I'm your private doctor, I don't think it's proper to call me twice in one day."

"Come over now. She passed out again."

Humbert riled up. "She? Grace? She's not that sick. She just needs enough rest and medicine.

By the way, why is she with you?"

Humbert thought of something and snapped.

"Holy Crap! Caden! Don't 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?" "Wait up!" He heard something unusual. "Broken body? She's not disabled."

Humbert smirked and said, "She's not that serious, just lacking a kidney.

Caden's hand trembled as he heard what Humbert said. Humbert arched one of his eyebrows as he heard Caden's erratic breath.

"You'll believe what I said if you see the scar."

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.

Inch by inch...

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.

"Who did this?" His fury bloomed in his cold voice.

A nasty scar was etched in her skin.

He held out his shuddering hand, trying to touch it.
