steal my heart

<21> Kissed Me

"No!" Grace responded in a hurry, "I
didn't hide from you, Mr. Shaw!"
Lies!
She was hiding from him!
But...
"What's the matter with your voice?" How hoarse was her voice!
"I have a sore throat." Grace lowered her eyes and refused to say more.
"Are you afraid of me?"
Grace's eyelids twitched, but she
didn't refute Caden who was standing beside her bed raised his eyebrows slowly the menu and felt even unhappier.
Suddenly, he leaned forward. Grace
saw in a horrified trance as hepropped an arm on the mattress beside her, and suddenly narrowed the distance between them.
His other hand reached out to
Grace; and when she subconsciously
shrunk backwards, Caden said in a
calm voice, "Don't move."
Seeing that Grace sat motionless
obediently, Caden pushed her bangs
aside and ran his fingers on the scar
on her forehead. Grace was already
not well; it was really hard for her to
ignore Caden's cold finger touching
her. the menu Caden stroked the scar softly with his fingers, pursed his lips, and asked unhappily, "How did you get this scar?"
Grace looked up at Caden in front
of her. Hypocritical bastard! How did she get it? As if he didn't know about it! She replied stiffly, "Got hurt."
Thanks to you! She added in her heart.
The finger stroked the scar and
slowly began to travel downwards towards her lips.
Her skin beneath his fingertips was
dry and peeling, and was pale in color.
Grace did not dare to move at all.
She stayed in her place with her neck
stiff, as his palm held most of her face.
His thumb moved across her lips,
caressing softly. The strange thing was, even though her lips were not soft and plump nor pink and alluring like blooming petals, her dry and pale lips somehow aroused his desire.
Caden's eyes became dark with desire. The next second, he took her lips unceremoniously. His fiery hot lips covered hers. Grace had no strength to resist, she passively accepted Caden's domineering kiss.
Sweet Caden was totally immersed in the kiss. After the kiss, he suddenly remembered...
"Is my kiss good or was that bastard
Franklin's kiss better?"
Grace was still in a daze, and her
pale face had become red because of
the kiss. Before she could recover
from the kiss, she heard Caden ask her coldly.
"Huh?"
What 'Huh? Caden frowned, "I'm
asking you something. Is my kiss good
or that bastard's?"
What the fuck is this?
Seeing that Grace still didn't answer,
Caden was annoyed. How long did it take to think about it?
Was that bastard Franklin's kiss that good? Did it leave such a long-lasting
aftertaste?
An unknown strange anger erupted
in Caden's body; Grace didn't even
have the time to understand what was
happening. She just had time to take in
a sharp breath as she was pushed
down on the bed hard and pressed by
Caden. The next second, Caden
lowered his head and kissed her on
her face. Grace let out a "Oh" as
Caden brought his hot lips frantically
close to her lips and kissed her fiercely.
Sucking or biting, he must hurt her!
Caden couldn't understand his own
thoughts and the strange emotion
erupted in his heart, even though the
woman under him was the culprit who
killed Wallis three years ago at the
moment, and even though he hated
this woman.
But he could never allow this woman to have other men in her heart!
She was not allowed to into Franklin!
Or anyone else! Except for Caden,
even if Grace lived her whole life under his torment, he would never allow other men to live in her heart!
At that moment, Caden didn't think
about why he had such a crazy overpowering desire only for Grace.
He had decided long ago that he hated this woman, but he never thought about why he cared so much about Grace's every move. Later, he would regret it countless times; he would regret what he did to her today and three years ago.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Someone coughed pointedly outside the door of the ward. Grace was startled and subconsciously pushed Caden's shoulder away from her. However, the man was stubborn and powerful. He folded his arm around her pressing her under him. He put a big hand on Grace's cheek, trying to confine her in this manner, and continued to kiss her lips. He sucked her lips and made unscrupulous sucking noises, not caring that there was a third person in the ward.Grace's face flushed red and hot in embarrassment. The sound of kissing echoed in the entire ward.
In the midst of kissing, Caden
opened his eyes without interrupting
the kiss. His dark eyes locked on the
face of the woman in his arms; her
intoxicated stance made him satisfied.
Only then did he let her go, and
elegantly glanced at the door of the
ward.
"What are you doing?" He asked in
a lazy voice. Fucking bastard!
Humbert was about to lose his mind
in annoyance! He called him to run to the restaurant to pick up food and now he had the audacity to ask him what he
was doing here?
Caden. Could you be more shameless?
Humbert placed the huge thermos
on the cabinet beside the bed, "Don't
do this kind of thing in the future. It's
immoral to do this in broad day light."
Caden didn't react at all. However,
Grace was red from head to toe.
She buried her head in shame, wishing to find a crack in the ground to
disappear into In just a moment, so many things had happened. Grace was very muddle-headed and confused...
Why did Caden kiss her suddenly?
Grace's heart was flustered and
confused Her heart that had been dead for such a long time was shaken up in a moment.
Humbert pulled Caden by his hand
and pulled him out of the ward. "She, she. Is she Grace James?" Humbert knew that it was Grace. He recognized her that day in Room 606.
But what he couldn't believe was the
scene he just saw in the ward. She
was pressed under Grace and he
kissed her, really?"What? Don't you have eyes to see?"
"No!" Humbert grabbed Caden,
who had already turned around and
was about to enter the ward, "Caden,
you don't have feelings for her, do
you?"
Oh!
This time, Humbert was successful
in making Caden pause in his tracks.
The man slowly turned around and
looked at Humbert dangerously, "Who
are you talking about? Feelings for
who?"
"Grace." Who else could he be
talking about? Humbert could feel
Caden's eyes pierce through his soul.
Caden, my bro, please don't use your
infrared eyes to scan me anymore,
OK?
He just put forward a reasonable
guess! Was it necessary to treat him
like this?
When Caden went into the ward
again, he found Grace sitting there stiff, as if she was frozen in the ice cellar! He glanced at her coldly as his thin lips spit out cold words, "Eat, I had Humbert specially go and buy the food on the bedside cabinet for you."
Grace stared at Caden with her mouth open, but only she herself knew that a corner in her heart that was closed and silent for a long time was slowly opening its door,"After all, you are for sale. Since you are selling yourself, I should pay you if I kiss you." Then he took out his wallet, took out a large stack of cash from it, and carelessly threw it on Grace's bed,"This is the reimbursement for your hospitalization by the company. If this is not enough then ask Gloria for more.
Bang!
The door was opened and then
closed again! "Take good care of your
body so you can earn more money for
me."
Caden left looking chic and carefree, leaving Grace looking ashen-faced on the hospital bed. She thought he kissed her because he felt something for her. She thought it might be a signal. She was wrong!
This man hates her, as always!
He would only torture her and humiliate her. He won't love her.
She was fooled again.
"Caden, those words you said to
Grace are very hurtful. Do you know
that?" Humbert followed behind
Caden while saying what's on his mind.
"Do I need to consider her feelings?"
"Since when are you so willful?
What if you regret treating her like
that?"
Caden handed a cigarette to
Humbert, he smiled in disagreement
thought. "Just smoke and don't think
wildly" Regret? Would he?
Absolutely not
Humbert stopped talking. He
actually felt that Caden would not
regret anything. He didn't even see
Caden regretting Wallis accident at
that time.
"Want some drink?
"I have to take care of some matters at the Royal Club."
Humbert brazenly followed Caden
to the Royal Club at once.
Royal Club. Gloria called Ruby to the office
"You live in a dorm with Grace and
she's sick, you didn't felt anything
unusual?" Gloria sat on the sofa and
asked the girl in front of her
Actually, she had no impression of
Ruby. Yesterday when Grace didn't
come to work, she went to the HR
department and checked the details of
Grace's employee dorm. She also
checked the employee dorm
registered for and saw Ruby who's in
the same room Gloria had seen all kinds of people since she had worked for so long, Employees from the dorm, when another one didn't come to work
because she's sick, Gloria wouldn't
believe that Ruby didn't notice it at all.
That would actually mean that Ruby
neglected Grace on purpose.
Last night it was so dangerous that
Gloria still got deep impression of it.
When she saw Grace at her dorm.
Grace already had a high fever If she didn't go there on time, Grace
might just die there. Gloria didn't care about Ruby's indifference and
disregard, but if someone died
because of that... She wouldn't dare to keep such people like Ruby
Gloria had always been detailed
about work, just now she also checked
Ruby and Grace's relationship. The fun
thing is, Luna, the 606 VIP room's
escort told her something she would
never imagine.
Ruby was upset. Gloria was someone who Ruby would never reach. had called her to the office today...
Ruby thought that she must have done
something wrong But when she heard Gloria mentioning Grace... Ruby felt at ease.
It turned out to be because she and
Grace lived in the same dorm, so
Gloria asked her something routine. It
scared her to death
"Gloria. I'm not close to that woman.
That woman...? Gloria lifted her
head up and scanned the girl before
her.
Gloria raised her eyebrows and
asked with interest. "That woman?"
Ruby felt helpless at Gloria's
expression. But after giving it a thought. she didn't think that she had said anything wrong. What did Gloria mean by that?
"Ruby, do you despise Grace so much?" Gloria suddenly asked.
Of course, who would not despise
that kind of woman?
... Ruby almost answered like that
subconsciously.
But she also felt that she'd ruin her
image in Gloria's mind if she had said it like that...
Actually Ruby thought too much,
Gloria had so much work and if not for
Grace's matter, who would know who
Ruby was.
Ruby prepared some words at heart
before she cautiously looked at Gloria
and said, "She did those undignified
things and it was already known all
over Royal Club, how could she sway
on the ground... picking money up?
Gloria, everyone said that she's very,
very, very..."
At the very last, Ruby looked so
embarrassed to even say that.
Gloria suddenly laughed. Her laugh
was like the winter snow that melted in
the early spring, it was so brilliant that it was a bit strange.
Ruby thought, she wouldn't have
said anything wrong, right?
Ruby didn't feel ashamed when
thinking of Grace.
Gloria looked at Ruby with a smile,
"Very what? Very shameful? Or very
lowly?" her red lips curved into a smile,
she really hated Ruby.
Gloria suddenly retracted her smile
and sneered, "I've seen your information, and you're from S University, right? Do you think
that being a waiter in such a club
makes you more noble than others?
You think that you are pure and clean?
Do you feel that Grace was very lowly
so she didn't have the right to live with you? Even if she got sick and didn't come to work, you can just completely ignore her?"
Ruby looked at Gloria in confusion...
What did Gloria mean by that?
She's a student from S University,
she would definitely hear out what
Gloria had meant by that.
Gloria stood up and walked over to
Ruby. Gloria was tall and she wore high
heels too, Ruby suddenly looked very
short when faced with Gloria.
Gloria had been engaged in the business world for so many years and
she looked like a queen with her
professional attire.
The young and inexperienced Ruby
couldn't compare to her.
"Ruby, you thought you're noble
and pure? You have lofty ambition?
You despise Grace from the bottom of
your heart? Let me tell you that you
can't compare to Grace!"
Ruby was not convinced, "Gloria,
your words are over the line! I worked
hard to get into S University, and as a
student of S University, would I be
inferior to a shameless woman? We're
both poor but I would never do
anything for money. Even if I work part time at Royal Club, but I am a waiter, 1 am different from that Grace who would do anything for money!"
"bah," Gloria sneered, "Don't think
so highly of your own self. Rich people
and wealthy princes come and go to
Royal Club. With any of their pressure,
how noble would you think you'd be?
You still remember what happened at
606 VIP room that day, right? If Grace was not softhearted and helped you out, you thought you can still stand
here and say those sarcastic things
now?"
Ruby turned pale. She did remember what happened on that day, but, but, but that couldn't prove anything!
"Even if that was true, Grace indeed
helped me. She helped me out but I
didn't tell her to wag her butt like dogs on all fours to please those guests. In the end she did it for money. What does that have to do with me?"
Gloria wanted to laugh out of anger,
she felt Ruby didn't deserve Grace's
help at all. She looked at Ruby closely...
"Why did Grace save someone like
you?"
