I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 81

His hand slowly smoothed away a wisp of hair on her forehand. Though confused Grace might be, she still noticed the intention of Cayne.

“Mr. Filocci, don’t you know how to show respect to woman?”

“Show respect to woman?” Cayne’s thin lips moved to utter, “But you told me that you are just a bitch who could do anything for money.”

“Though I am not Chinese, I know about what the bitches in your country try to do when they say those similar words.”

Grace sneered at her own with a bit self-mockery, ‘It is really ridiculous I want to remain pure after I claim myself as a bitch.’

But she still clenched her fist out of regret.

“You can do what you want wherever you like, but not here!” Grace glared at Cayne with her bloodshot eyes, “Not here!”

“What if I insist?”

Grace lowered her eyelids silently. But it made Cayne even more interested, As if what he saw in front of him was a dazzling woman.

How could there be such a strange woman, both humble but proud at the same time.

What made her like that?

Cayne actually felt a bit bored when he got along with her at the beginning, but now he was more interested in her.

Cayne slowly kissed her wound gently, and he clearly noticed that Grace shivered a bit when his kiss fell on her skin. Cayne was wondering how this wound was caused?

And who left her the wound? What if Cayne himself also had a chance to mark her body with such an unforgettable wound, he couldn’t help but dream of it.

Grace clenched her fists even tighter, with her palm bleeding as her fingernails deeply stabbed into the flesh. Beads of blood kept dripping on the ground.

Finally, Cayne let go of Grace.

Slap!

A clear and loud slap fell on Cayne’s face, which could be clearly heard in the empty staircase.

Cayne tilted his head aside because of the slap. He touched his own face with disbelief after a while, “That hurts!”

Grace’s hand seemed to tremble out of fear, but she still stared at Cayne firmly. She felt herself overwhelmed with the joy of revenge, “Since Mr. Filocci loves to touch other’s wound, now you should know how hurt it would be to be touched on the wound.”

Then Grace went upstairs as she finished her words, without looking back at Cayne.

Cayne stood still, staring at her back fading away from the stairs.

Cayne went downstairs and left the community. He got in his sport car, but the pain still lingered around his face.

He touched his own face a bit, “Damn! That hurts!”

He took out his phone and dialed Leon’s number.

“Do you know what time it is now?” Leon replied with annoyance.

Cayne turned a deaf ear to his attitude, “I was slapped.”

“Who? How many men did he bring with? Do you need backup?” Leon was putting on clothes.

“Only one.”

“Only one?” Leon frowned. He kept thinking about who would be the only one dare to slap Cayne in this city. Then it suddenly occurred to him that the answer might be only one man. Leon continued, “Is he Caden?”
