Grace“ Tristin, you need to listen to me. ” Instinctively, I leap behind him.He takes long strides, walking away with a predatory ease that makes my heart heavy.Before I can reach him, a hand closes around my wrist and pulls me back. I glance at the hand, and then the face of the man holding me back.Anger simmers beneath my skin, threatening to spill over. Desperate, I take my eyes off Ethan and look in the direction where Tristin disappeared.He didn’t even spare me a look. Not even once.“ Was it you? ” Ethan asks, his fingers digging in my flesh.I wince and jerk my hand free. “ I wish. But you are just too stupid to fight Tristin, Ethan. You should give up now. ”“ This is only the start. A little setback can not stop me, Grace. ” Ethan says, grabbing my wrist again.I grit my jaw, ready to retort but a familiar voice makes me halt. I move towards the railing, my wrist still clenched between Ethan’s hands.Lily stands on the stage, wearing a glittery black dress that highlights

GraceEthan doesn’t look shocked this time. He grits his jaw and looks back at me, his eyes raging.Suddenly, Ethan grabs my arms and pulls me towards him. Silence falls in the Hall, all eyes on us, waiting for this formidable man to take his revenge.“ What? ” I smirk. “ Do you not like your wife anymore? Do you want to kill me? ” “ Forget about it. ” Ethan hisses under his breath, his hold tightening over my arms.“ What?” I search his face.“ Forget about the divorce.” He whispers and pulls me closer. “ Even if you beg and cry— ”“ Ethan.” Lily screams.My brows lift as my gaze rises to Lily. She grabs the side of her head and faints close to the edge of the stage.Before she can drop from the height, Ethan crosses the distance between them and catches her in his arms. “ Lily. ” Concern reflects in his voice, and in the way he holds her body close to his chest.The silence breaks as people start whispering among themselves. “ Did you see that? ” “ Mr. Calder clearl

Grace“ You just never change. How many times has it been already? ” I murmur, attempting to get up but he hovers above me, pressing me down with his weight.“ I will never let you go. ” Ethan seethes, leaning in to press his lips to mine. I turn my head away and glance at the lamp placed on the side table. Ethan grips my chin harshly and makes me face him again. I hold my breath, staring into his half-lidded eyes. “ Your lover boy knows you are here with me. Josh caught his men spying on your whereabouts. ” His lips curl into a sinister smirk. “ what do you think about that? ”I blink, my hands going still by my side. My blank face makes Ethan frown.“ He doesn’t give a fuck if you sleep with me or what I do to you here. ” He hisses, grabbing my left wrist to pin it above my head. “ Why do you think I care about it? ” I sigh, finding it hard to panic.He is on top of me, drunk and furious, yet I find it hard to react. His Tristin talk doesn’t bother me either. Tristin probably re

GraceI sit on the floor silently and stare at the blood that still stains my hands. After the rush of emotions, everything has gone numb inside me again.“ They have asked us to make life difficult for you. ” Detective Marlo stands on the other side of the bars and reveals.“ Did Ethan’s family return from abroad? ” I wonder.“ They want you to suffer for hurting Mr. Calder. Eventually, they will bring some people inside and get them to torture you. ” He discloses, without answering my question.I nod. I expect nothing less from the Calder family. Ethan usually kept them out of the country because they were problematic but now that they are back, and Ethan is not conscious, they will do everything to make life hell for me.“ I didn’t expect you to be such a woman. Why did you do that Mr. Calder? ” He sighs.I don’t know why he came or why he is being so nosy. “ You could have run away instead of calling the police and ambulance for him. Mr. Calder’s people would have dealt with the

GraceI push myself to my feet, ready to defend myself until the end. The woman on the right lunges for me.I raise my arm in front of my face protectively. A gasp erupts from my mouth as the blade slashes across my wrist. The other two surround me and grab my arms. I thrash, trying to free myself but they have more strength than me.They pull my arms down, exposing my face to the one with the blade. I twist and turn, and watch as she shoots me a vicious look.The glint of the blade appears terrifying in the darkness. My throat dries as I direct my gaze to her face.She grabs my cheeks and squashes harshly. “ Now stay still, Bitch. You don’t want me to poke your eyes. ”I grit my jaw and shake my head, refusing to stop fighting. She grabs me harder and brings the blade closer to my face.Instinctively, I lift my leg and kick her in the stomach. She shrieks, stumbling a few steps back. “ You slut! ” The one holding me from the left smacks my head so hard that my vision blackens for a

GraceFor another day, I stay locked up and the man stands guard. The Calders try to cause trouble, but their people are handled easily by the Robertos. As their power game continues, I find myself in a trance. He says Tristin had an accident right after leaving the event. This means he got into an accident when I was thinking of reaching out to him. Did Ethan really cause his accident? My heart clenches at the thought. But then, I am forced to think about the sudden disappearance of Lily.If…Ethan caused Tristin’s accident and Tristin is unconscious…Who took Lily? Did someone take her or she disappeared? The mystery around Sebastian Roberto’s death and the secret that Lily holds has become more confusing. In the end, the detectives call me to the interrogation room and ask me the dreaded questions. Where is Lily Whitlock? What did I do to Lily Whitlock? No matter how many times I tell them that I did nothing to Lily, they don’t believe me. I have no alibi. Ethan’s men destr

Grace“ Did you… ” I swallow the lump in my throat to prepare myself for asking the terrifying question. “ …try to kill Tristin? ”Ethan’s hand falls by his side as a cold look flashes across his droopy eyes. “ he is all you care about… ”“ Did you? ” My chin wobbles. “ did you do it because of me? ”Ethan stares into my eyes. I don’t know what happens, but in that moment, the look in his eyes becomes detached and it feels like we have finally chosen a separate path at the crossroads. We are no longer lurking on the edges, desperately trying to stick together. Now we know, there is no going back. Maybe, we knew, when I tried to kill him. Maybe he realized the truth when he almost ended up dead.“ No. ” Ethan shakes his head and looks away from me first. “ I had nothing to do with his accident. ”The weight on my shoulders becomes less heavy. The numbness leaves my body and my eyes water. I have been so scared in there. The voices still ring inside my head. But the thought that haunt

Grace“ What are you doing here, Grace? ” Alma blocks my way to the room Tristin is staying at.The reception people refused to talk about his condition so I had to come up personally. But before I could go inside, Alma appeared before me and refused to step away.“ Alma. I am here to check up— ”“ I heard what happened. ” She says, not letting me finish. I was about to tell her that I would check up on Tristin and then leave, but she didn’t look ready to hear any of it. She looks…different. Her eyes are not kind, and her lips are not smiling anymore. My chest tightens. “ Ethan…didn’t cause that accident. ”She must be angry because she thinks I am responsible for Tristin’s condition. “ I know. ” Alma blinks calmly, surprising me.“ Do you know who did this? ” Unconsciously, I step ahead and ask.Alma looks down at my feet and then looks up. A cold glint flashes across her eyes but it’s gone before I can understand the reason behind it.“ It was an accident. A drunk truck driver hi

Grace“ I don’t know what you are talking about, Mrs. Roberto. ” Luca says, bringing my attention back to him.“ Do you expect me to believe Tristin has abandoned his old ways completely just to appease me? Or do you think I am blind and deaf? Or maybe…do you think I don’t know about the people you and Tristin tortured in the past few days just to find Sebastian? ” I scoff, my eyes beginning to burn.Luca’s brows lift as he stares at me.

GraceIt’s fine to see Tristin’s face, but what are those intense emotions?Ethan has moved on. Or that’s what he desperately wants me to believe. So why did he have that look in his eyes?I throw away the blankets and get out of bed. As I am passing by the mirror beside the door, I pause and look into it.There are scratches all over my neck—injuries I have caused myself. I brush my fingers against a long line before smiling at myself.A few weeks ago, when I cut my finger while trying to make apple pie, Tristin made a terrible fuss over it. He had stayed home for the whole day to look after a small cut—something I have found so extra on his part.But now that I am covered in scratches, he won’t come. I swallow as my gaze drifts higher to the bandage on my forehead. He knows…what Ethan has done to me. There is no way I can ever…sleep with Ethan in my right mind or anyone who is not Tristin, for a matter of fact.And yet, Tristin didn’t…give me the benefit of the doubt. Not even once

Grace“ There are no traces of drugs in your system. ” Doctor Yvonne Smith, who is a woman in her 30s, sighs as she hands me the results.They have done everything as fast as possible, but now the results have come out opposite of what I was expecting.I stare at the report, and another suspicion starts growing. What if Ethan has bribed these people, and I am being an idiot for believing this?“ And about the other thing, we can’t really be sure, Mrs. Roberto. You were taking a shower for so long, and there are no clear signs of penetration. It can be because you had gentle consensual intercourse, or it can be because you didn’t have any intercourse at all. There is no way to tell. ” She continues in her professional voice that’s tinged with a hint of sympathy. I stare at the paper in my hands, going over every line several times as if searching for something that will confirm my doubts and not go completely against it instead.When Mom and the servants found me in the bathroom, I fe

GraceHe wraps his arms around my knees and looks up at me, hoping for me to pick him up. He was gone for so long.I reach out with shaking hands and pick him up. He presses his face into my neck before I hear him sobbing against me. My knees give out from under me, making me drop in the middle of the lounge. His cries grow louder.I pat his back weakly, my eyes burning but no tears welling in them. He continues to cry for a long time—or maybe it feels like that for me because my arms have gone numb.“ Seb, don’t cry. Be a good boy. Don’t make your Mommy worry about you anymore. ” Mom steps closer and caresses the back of Seb’s head.He pulls his head out of my neck and stares at me with his wet, round eyes. It’s like someone has gripped my heart, refusing to let it go.“ Are you…worrying, Mommy? ” He murmurs, grabbing my cheeks in his small hands.I shake my head, like a robot who has no feelings but only knows how to respond. “ I am fine, Mommy. See. ” He shakes my cheeks as if tr

Grace“ He came out of nowhere and saved you? ” Now that he says it aloud, it sounds so weird. Even Ethan’s reasoning regarding that matter is making my head spin. “ Yes. ” I nod, the guilt tightening like a noose around my neck. “ I…ran out of the cabin while…they were busy fighting among themselves. A kidnapper chased me, and I ended up falling from a low cliff into the lake. ”“ And Ethan saved you again? ” He says before I can finish what I was trying to tell him.The noose tightens. I nod again. “ he did. ”“ What happened then? ” Luca asks calmly.I continue, knowing that Tristin might not listen to me, but if I can convince Luca to believe me, Tristin will listen to him. He trusts Luca, after all.“ I had no phone on me. And I was freezing. We were wandering in the woods when we came across the cabin and that old man. He offered to let us stay until the morning because there were dangerous animals in the woods at night. I didn’t want to stay—I swear…I didn’t. But…I had no opt

Grace“ It’s better if he doesn’t show up in front of Boss for a while. ” That’s what Luca said when I tried to take Ethan with me.Ethan agreed with what Luca was saying. I was desperate, but even in that desperation, I had realized what would happen if I asked Ethan to explain things to Tristin while he was still reeling with the shock of seeing what he did.That’s why, without saying anything, I followed Luca. Tristin was long gone, and the journey back home left me feeling numb.Now, as I sit in the backseat of the car and stare at my home, I feel foreign in my body. Tears have dried, and my mind has grown eerily silent. How much can someone cry anyway?What is the use of crying, to begin with?There are some things in your life that you can fix and some mistakes that can be amended. But then there are things, these mistakes that don’t get fixed or can’t be made right. “ Doctor Smith is waiting inside. He will take a look at you. ” Luca says from his spot in the passenger seat.

I drank the same alcohol you did, Grace. Don’t you remember? ”“No...” My voice falters, my knees threatening to give out beneath me. My mind is racing, trying to piece together fragments that don’t exist. I can remember—I tell myself.But everything is so blank. “ You are lying. Tell me you are lying. Say we didn’t...that we didn’t do anything. Please, Ethan. Just say that this is all your plan, and we… ”Ethan’s jaw tightens. He runs a hand through his hair, his voice rising in frustration. “ I would have told you if I could, but I don’t remember anything! I don’t remember touching you or…or leaving those marks on you. But they are there. So, I must have.”The weight of his words crushes me. My legs give out, and I collapse onto the floor, clutching the sheets to my chest. Tears blur my vision as sobs wrack my body.

GraceMy head pounds like someone is smashing a drum inside my skull. I groan, my body heavy and sluggish, and that’s when I feel it—a hard yank on my body. Rough. Unforgiving. My eyes flutter open, and the blurry image of Tristin comes into view. I want to call his name, but my throat feels so dry, and my head is about to explode.Tiredly, I blink while trying to reach him. And that’s when I start to make out what he is doing. He is above Ethan, fists flying as Ethan lies on the floor, blood dripping from his nose and lip. My brain can’t catch up with what is happening.“ Tr—Tristin? ” I croak out. My hand instinctively reaches out, grabbing his arm to stop him. “ What—What are you doing? Stop… ”He doesn’t stop. Instead, his arm jerks, shoving me backward like I am nothing. My head slams against the headboard, and a sharp pain shoots through me. Warm liquid trails down my forehead, and when I touch it, my fingers come back red. Blood. I am bleeding.I push myself up, my vision bl

But I can’t think too much. I have to check. I push open the door to the cabin. Luca is right behind me, pulling the man along with him. The air inside is thick, heavy, and the dim light from a single lamp makes everything look wrong.I don’t think. I just move.I open the door to the only room. And then my heart stops.There she is. Grace.The world around me comes to a stop, and everything inside me turns upside down.She is lying in bed. Bare shoulders exposed to the light, the blanket barely covering her. For a moment, everything feels distant. Is this real, or is it my hyper imagination tricking me again?I don’t understand what I am seeing. My eyes move down, and I see a man’s arm wrapped around her. Holding her. Pulling her close.No one does that. Only I do. She will never—never let anyone
