I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 165

Even Grace James felt her body enjoyed Caden Shaw’s invasion much. They reached a climax at the same time.

There were the heavy breaths of the two. The bodies turned active, but the heart was cold.

“Caden Shaw! I will hate you.”

The man’s fingers trembled, but he still reached out his hand to wipe away the dense sweats on her forehead. His bottomless eyes were filled with unspeakable mixed feelings that Grace couldn’t understand. However, when she looked at that pair of eyes, her heart, which had been numb for a long time, felt the familiar pains... She gritted her teeth, confused and regretful. She should have been numb, but why the pain on her heart years ago when he glanced at her with disgusted eyes came back again?

Grace felt on his fingers wiping away the sweats on her forehead... Slam!

“Don’t touch me!” Grace’s cold eyes stared at the man. “Mr. Shaw, I will never stop hating you, until I die one day. Even though I forget who I am, and what my name is, I will never forget my hatred to you.”

The ruthless sentence came out from her gritted teeth, word by word. “Grace James hates Caden Shaw!”

Grace James, hates, Caden Shaw!

The man’s pupils shrank fiercely. He covered his left chest with his hand, tightly, and hoped to cover the acute pain on his heart.

Let her go, or let her hate him... His choice was always the same one, to let her hate him and never let her go!

However, he still couldn’t stand the pain when she said. “Grace James hates Caden Shaw!”

“You said, you love me, and even though you forget your name one day, you will still remember your love for me... Grace, you said that!”

‘How can you go back on your word?’

How could she change her promise?

“I don’t remember that.”

Caden was speechless. He just stared at this ruthless woman.

He was grave, serious, and anxious, but her reply was just “I don’t remember that.”

He had never felt so painful ever before.

Even the pain he got when she was in a great hurry to escape from him was more comfortable than it now!

There seemed to be a bomb on his heart, and Grace was the blasting fuse. She exploded the bomb... Bang! It made his heart broken completely.

Caden reached out his finger to touch her chin, lips, nose, and eyes. Suddenly, he covered the eyes full of hatred.

“I don’t care.” The deep voice expressed the man’s ruthlessness. “Grace James, you have no right to hate me. Do you think I will care about your feelings and thoughts?”

The cold words were spatted out without mercy.

But he...had no other choice!

“Grace James, I’m only interested in your body, so hold back whatever you are thinking about.”

Grace’s heart ached suddenly as she got Caden’s pitiless words. Her eyes were covered with the man’s huge palm, so she would never see the pain in the man’s dark eyes.

There were also regret, depression, begging...and even more suppressed hatred, the hatred to himself!

Rolling around and getting out of the bed, the man bent down and carried the woman in his arms.

“Ah!”

For her body hanging in the air, Grace screamed. “Caden Shaw! What are you doing?”

“Caden Shaw! Let me go!”

“Caden Shaw! I don’t want to go mad with you together!”

The man didn’t speak, but just carried her into the bathroom. He threw her in the bathtub, without gentleness, but still didn’t hurt her.

“It’s too late.” After throwing the woman into the bathtub, the man’s thin lips curved as he stared at her. “The hunting has been started. I’m the hunter, and you’re the prey, so I’m the one who dominates the game.”

Grace James hated Caden Shaw, and she wouldn’t stop hating him until she died, even though she forgot who she was one day... Since he couldn’t change her mind, let her hate him, for all her life!

Just let her hate him!

It was better for Grace to hate him all her life. That would be the happiest thing for Caden Shaw for the rest of his life... If only in this way could he entangle her all her life, he would like to accept and enjoy her hatred!

Grace’s face turned pale as she heard the man’s words... Yes, she was nothing in front of this man!

Caden squatted down and reached out his palm to Grace. The woman wanted to dodge, but was grabbed. Caden raised his head, and started at the woman, with the bottomless eyes able to know everything of her. “All these twenty years, I can get all that I want.”

With a crisp sound, Grace groaned slightly. “Hiss...” She raised her eyes up, and started back at him stubbornly... This madman! She lowered her eyes to check her leg, and found a fingerprint on her leg.

“I told you, to be obedient, or you’ll suffer a lot.”

“I hate you!”

She had said this sentence many times today.

“Whatever.” With the casual word spatted, Caden filled the bathtub with hot water, and then bathed for her.

“I can do this on my own.”

Grace intended to snatch the towel in Caden’s hand.

However, Caden dodged smoothly. He continued to bathe the woman as fast as he could. Then he stood up, took a long bath towel from the shelf, covered the woman with it, and then carried her together with the bath towel onto the bed again.

Caden quickly jumped onto the bed, but found the woman sneaked out of bed and strode to the door.

Just as Grace was about to get the light out of the room, her body hung in the air again. She gritted her teeth, and all of a sudden, she bit him on his shoulder, fiercely and mercilessly!

The skin where the woman bit trembled, but didn’t shrink.

“Caden Shaw! You madman!”

She kept yelling, and her hoarse voice got the yell even harsher.

Thud!

In a daze, Grace was thrown on the bed again. She opened her eyes, and saw the familiar face close to her. The man stood by the bed, and looked down at her in an imposing height. “Sleep.” He said this in a cold voice.

The revolt in Grace’s eyes never faded. She got up again with her hands pressing on the bed, and scratched and scrambled to get out of the bed. The man by the bed didn’t stop her at once.

Her hands and legs were painful, but she still managed to rush to the door.

The result was the same as before. The man’s huge palm kept her from the light outside again. Not only did she bite with teeth this time, but also she kicked his belly with her feet. However, the huge palm grabbed her legs.

Thud!

Grace landed on the bed again. Caden stood by the bed and looked down at the woman.

“Sleep!”

She tried once more, but she was unable to succeed.

“Do you want to have one more try?” The man asked in a low voice.

Grace gritted her teeth, lowered her eyes to hide the revolt in her eyes. She said slowly. “What do you want?” She clenched her fists tightly. “I won’t beg you anymore!”

Did he want her begging again?

Never dream about it!

She would never compromise as humbly as before!

And she would never beg him anymore!

“Too stubborn.” Caden spoke this with his thin lips opened and closed fast. The only two words reinforced Grace’s thought that he was just torturing her and wanted her humble begging... Who would still care about his feelings after being disappointed so much?

The man gazed at the woman on the bed, and sighed quietly. Did this woman think he needed her begging? What he needed was never her humble begging!

What he needed...was the woman who had been loving him for twenty years. He wanted that woman to come back to him!

Caden pulled the quilt to cover Grace’s body, and then he also got into the quilt. He embraced her tightly, and reached out his legs to control her restless feet. “Sleep, or do it again until you’re exhausted. You will also sleep when you’re exhausted. How about that?”

How about that?

He was asking her to make such a meaningless choice!

Ha...

“Mr. Shaw, please remember that you’re sleeping with a murderer on the same bed!”

The man’s closed eyes suddenly opened, and turned to stare at the woman beside him. The corner of his lips curved meaningfully. He didn’t speak, but closed his eyes again.

Not so long later, his slight breaths sounded in the darkness.

Grace took the opportunity to get rid of his arm.

However, his arm was as mighty as the pliers, controlling her body tightly and leaving no place for her to struggle.

The night went to be late, and the two persons on the bed became silent. Since she was unable to push him away, Grace had to look at this man, with mixed feelings.

Grace glanced at the bedside table... She even still kept humorous now. She thought, the stationery must have also stayed with this man longer than her.

How ironic it was!

Had destiny kept a pair of lovers from each other, or destiny had forced two strangers to get close?

No matter which the truth was, destiny must have been kidding them!

They should have stopped being fooled by destiny as soon as possible!

She thought like this, while she reached out her hand that was the only free part of her body to slowly buckle the man’s neck... Would the destiny be defeated as long as she choked this man to death?

Then she would be free, able to visit Erhai Lake, pay back for the life that she was never able to pay in this life. The trance in her eyes got heavier.

Grace increased her might to squeeze the air in Caden’s throat... All of a sudden! Her body trembled and her eyes turned bright again. She blankly stared at her hand on his neck... She... What had she done!

What was she going to do!

The fear appeared in her eyes, mixed with the tears flowing out!

Grace suddenly loosened her grip, and covered her mouth to hide the sound of sobbing in her throat, just with the hand which had almost killed Caden!

In the silence of the dark night, there was a quiet and intermittent sobbing.

She nervously turned her head aside, and hid it under the pillow... No watching, no listening, and even no thinking... But the palm still trembled terribly.

She even didn’t feel her body cold from her head to her toes, trembling in his arms.

The man suddenly opened his eyes in the darkness, and glanced at the woman’s head half covered by the pillow. There was sorrow mixed with gentleness in his eyes... Silly girl... He closed his eyes again, and was reluctant to scare the extremely frightened woman.

His hands and feet under the quilt, however, got even tighter to entangle the woman’s feet.
