Chapter: Chapter NineteenPatrick’s POV“Hey Diego, where is Grace?” I asked the moment he got on the line.“Boss… I told you about what she did last night, after the officer didn’t let her in, right?” I balled my fist as I recalled, Diego had told me that she nearly let a car run after her, just because the officer didn’t let her see her father. The pang returned, and I grabbed my chest as I wiggled to the left. “She is so obsessed with Doctor Dean, that fool was willing to risk her fucking life,” I muttered to myself.“Boss?” Diego asked, but he didn’t hear what I said.“Yeah… I recall. You said the officer took her into custody.” I gritted my teeth at the thought of her having to sleep behind bars. I shook my head as I tried to push off the thoughts.That served her right, she brought it upon herself. She deserved to be behind her father, but that would be when I was done with her. “She isn’t out yet?” “No, boss. Should I arrange for her to be released?”I paused. Should he get him out? I asked myself,

Chapter: Chapter EighteenGrace’s POVHe crossed the door, realization dawned on me. I was spending the night here. Fuck.Now I regret acting suicidal in front of a law official, he thought he was doing me some good by keeping me here all night. What is Patrick doing right now? I’m sure he would be looking for me… Damn, where do I tell him I went?The female constable whom the officer spoke to stood up and came in front of me. I stared at her boots for a second, before I looked up to her smiling face. I felt a bit of warmth spread in my chest, at least she wasn’t as grumpy as the officer outside. “What’s your name, miss?” she asked. “Gra-” I paused, eyes darting sideways. I can’t lie to her. “Sofia Dean.”She raised a brow, glancing over me. I’m sure she was wondering if I had lost my mind. “Miss Dean, who are you here to visit?”I huffed. “My father, Doctor Dean.”She nodded and took my hands. “I will be taking off your cuff, but… You promise to remain calm on the bench?” I nodded as I rolled my eyes. “I

Chapter: Chapter SeventeenGrace’s POVThe car kept coming at full speed, honking like a maniac. Why the heck doesn’t he just slow he fuck down.I was not getting out of the way. If I'd died today, it would be my punishment for betraying the man I love.I deserved every bit of it. At least, it would be better than having to explain to Patrick about who I was, I can’t endure the pain. I love you, Mr. Patrick Vanner. I resolved as I pressed my eyes shut, my fists balled tightly by my sides. As I heard the car’s honks get closer and louder, I gritted my teeth. Then the lights flashed on my face, I raised my hands over my face, as I yelled out of fear, then I felt a strong hand grab my arm, and I was whisked out of the way, before the car drove past. “Damn, girl, do you want to die?” the officer asked as he stared at me in horror.I blinked back at him, I could barely see his pale face clearly. My vision was still blurry because of the headlights of the car, flashing at my eyes. “Fuck,” the officer growled. “W

Chapter: Chapter SixteenGrace’s POVHow could I be so easily fooled by that guy, Daniel? Is this my dad’s doing? I am so disappointed in Dad. I can’t believe I have been a fool all this time. I sat in the back seat of the cab as it drove through the dark streets. My hands over my mouth as I muffled my sobs. I felt used, I felt betrayed by the person I trusted most in the world.I am such a fool. how could I go after an innocent man, trying to ruin him without making sure that I was following the truth.A while ago, I had just finished taking shots of the evidence against Patrick Vanner. The evidence that proved my father’s innocence, and though it would hurt so bad, I was going to seek justice for my father.Just when I was about to close the laptop, I saw a file tagged ‘DEAN’S DEEDS.’ I opened it, and I saw my father, on camera, operating on patients who were tied up and awake. It was obvious it was without their consent. My father had self-written records of vile experiments he did on people, people who

Chapter: Chapter FifteenPatrick’s POV“Well played,” I muttered as I watched Grace stomping on the flash drive Diego had given to her with the fake evidence on it.Yeah, fake. I had to get Diego to forge everything there, even the video was photoshopped, to see if Sofia Dean would take the bait, and she did.I licked my lips as I looked away from the camera on my phone. I was still seated in the toilet seat. I knew that the moment I left her in the room, and turned on the shower, so it would look like I was taking my bath, she would go downstairs for the flashdrive.Smartly, I planted a camera downstairs and connected it to my tablet which I had dropped in the toilet. I just picked it up and I have been watching her. I have confirmed that she is the daughter of that scum.I guess like father like daughter, he played the public and she played me. Only thing was they were not smart enough, I laid the trap and she was exposed, so easily, just like her father.Silly girl, I loved her. Shit. I breathed heavil

Chapter: Chapter FourteenGrace’s POV“Hey, I said, no,” Patrick growled as he yanked his phone from my hand. I furrowed my brows as I saw him slide his phone inside the back pocket of his pants.“Why-”“Shh,” he said. “Don’t be stubborn.” He grabbed my arm and pulled me back to the table, then he lifted me and placed me on his thighs again.“Pa…”“Be quiet, let’s eat.”I drew a deep breath, pressing my lips into a thin line, as I watched him eat. He didn’t look up at me for some time, until he lifted the fork to my mouth and said, “Ahh.” I took it and chewed quietly.Why the sudden switch? He acted a bit aggressive a while ago, didn’t he? Or am I thinking too much?I shook my head as I breathed out sharply. I might be overreacting though. He winked at me as he raised another scoop for me to eat. I smiled and took it on. Once we were done eating, Patrick carried me in his arms and took me to his room. He placed me on the bed, he got up and walked into the bathroom. I should check on the flash drive before h
