I've Been There Before

Day after day, he cooked meals for her. When he went to work, he would take her with him so that he could always keep an eye
on her. They looked like a loving couple.
When others saw Grace, they were envious of her.
Her husband was handsome and rich. More importantly, he was nice to her.
As time passed, all the people around her knew about this.
Someone said that Grace finally led a happy life. Back then, she had made every effort to chase Caden.
Someone else said that she finally got what she wanted.
On a weekend.
“I want to see him,” said Grace.
“Who?”
“... My brother.”
Caden was a bit startled, but he still remained expressionless.
“Don’t worry about Payne.”
He just showed an indifferent attitude.
Grace slightly clenched her fists, and after a while...
“He is not in a good condition. I want to see him.”
Caden was convinced that she was trying to escape from him again, so he asked, “Am I not good enough to you? Is Payne
better than me?
Is Payne that important to you?
You still want to donate bone marrow to him, right?
I won’t let you see Payne.

Just give up on this idea!”
“Grace, you should never leave me!” he thought to himself.
He was furious!
At this moment, as long as she mentioned her brother, he would think of the fact that she had managed to escape from him
again and again.
“Whether Payne will survive or not has nothing to do with you. Grace, be a good girl, okay?”
He was so scared that he would use any means to keep her by his side.
He also wondered why Payne was so important to her.
Why did she want to donate her bone marrow to him at all costs?
Had she ever considered his feelings?
If something happened to her, what should he do?
Grace was also enraged. She had suppressed her emotions for so long, and she finally burst with anger.
“You are so unreasonable!
I just want to see my brother!
Besides, I have the right to decide what I can do!
You aren’t qualified to make any decision for me!”
“So you still want to donate your bone marrow, right? You want to escape from me so badly?” He was so furious that he became
even more unreasonable.
“Grace! Do you want to escape from me so badly?” he asked again.
“That’s right! I just want to escape from you! Are you satisfied with this answer?”
Back then, she didn’t dare to voice her true thoughts, but now she was fearless.

“You’re sick!
Do you want me to thank you for imprisoning me?
Do you think you are nice to me?
Hahahaha...” Grace laughed with tears welling up in her eyes.
“You think you are nice to me?
However, I don’t think you did all this for my own good!
If you are really nice to me, then let me go!”
Hearing this, he suddenly stopped his work.
With a grim look, he walked to her and said, “Take back what you said just now!”
“I won’t!
What words do you want me to take back?
‘Let me go?’
Or ‘I want to leave you’?
Caden!
I’ve had enough of you!
Why would I listen to you?
Why are you imprisoning me?”
She was so angry that she trembled all over.
She did everything he said.
She just wanted to see Payne. Caden had confiscated her phone, so she couldn’t contact anyone. She didn’t even know what
was going on with Payne.

She just wanted to take a look at him.
She should have hated Payne and even Master James.
But ... she just couldn’t do it.
In the dead of night, she was also afraid that her grandfather had despicable intentions. She was afraid that his purpose was not
just to make her be kind to Payne. What she feared most was that her grandfather had never loved her.
Then what was her point of living?
She remembered her grandfather’s kindness to her. She loved her grandfather, but then she was told that he might never have
liked her.
She loved Caden, but he refused her once and again. She had no choice but to accept reality.
But it turned out that her whole life was like a joke!
She just wanted to see what had happened to Payne. After all, he was her brother and she treated him sincerely when they were
young.
However, Caden didn’t allow her to see him!
“Grace, don’t make me angry.” His face darkened and he shouted, “Do you still remember that you shouldn’t mention the word
‘leave’ in front of me?”
Anger filled her heart.
“You are really sick!
You said that I killed Wallis, and I admitted it. Isn’t that enough?
Look at me! What else do you want me to do?
One life for one life?
OK!
I’ll give my life back to you!”

To his surprise, she suddenly grabbed a paring knife and stabbed it into her heart.
The moment she picked up the knife, she was acting on impulse, but when she stabbed it fiercely into her heart, she felt relieved.
Before she could show a smile, an expected thing happened.
She heard the sound of the knife piercing into flesh. Blood gushed out, but it was not hers.
She looked up and saw him holding the sharp blade tightly. Blood dripped from his palm and fell down onto the ground.
Before she could see his expression, he grabbed the knife from her hand and threw it far away. It seemed that he couldn’t feel
any pain.
The next second, she felt as if everything was spinning around.
Caden had picked her up.
Then she was carried into the bedroom by him.
Her face turned pale, and she instantly understood what was about to happen.
“Ladd, Caden is injured!” She knew that even if she begged him to let her go, he wouldn’t listen.
She could only shout loudly at the door.
As expected, Ladd rushed over from outside the door.
He murmured, “Boss ...”
“Fuck off!” Caden’s cold voice suddenly rang out.
Ladd stopped at the bedroom door. In the next moment, he turned around and closed the door.
“Caden! You’re crazy! Caden! How dare you!” she cried out in despair.
“Caden ... no!”
“Caden ... I will hate you forever,”

Grace shouted in despair.
This was the darkest day of her life.
“You imprisoned and even raped me. Caden ... what ... am I?”
Grace muttered to herself in a husky voice.
He paused. In the next moment, he reached out and covered her eyes with one hand. Then he kissed on the back of his hand.
“You are a very, very important person to me,” Caden thought to himself.
“Grace, don’t think about escaping anymore. In this lifetime, you are destined to be with me forever. If I don’t agree, you won’t be
able to escape.”
He was already crazy.
He felt sorry for her, but he couldn’t restrain his desire to possess her.
After everything was over, she said, “I hate you.”
He closed his eyes. When he opened them, he tried to suppress his agony.
“I don’t care,” said Caden in a cold voice.
Even hatred was good. He would be satisfied that he was the only one hated by her.
As long as he could occupy her mind all the time, he didn’t care whether she loved or hated him.
However, the moment Grace said she hated him, he felt so distressed.
