GRACELYNN MILLER……He was a jerk and always will be a jerk. How could he hurt me again? He's hurting the same place again and again. When he apologised to me first I thought he had changed. But he proved me wrong the next moment when he said I trapped Alec for a better life. So it was clear from his side he thinks of me as a money-minded gold-digger girl who is after money. And I had chosen to marry him for the greed of money. He thinks so low of me. I don't understand what I had seen in him back then to fall in love with a jerk like him. I think I was blind back then.“Hey!” I halted on my track when Beta Killian stopped in front of me on the ground floor. “Good to see you again. Welcome back. I don't know what to call you now, Gracelynn or Liliana.” Killian sounded cheerful. So I flashed him a smile. “I wish I could say the same to you. I'm not happy to see you. And yeah, you can go with Gracelynn. That Liliana you used to know, died long ago. So there is no need to recall her any
GRACELYNN MILLER…..I stared at her in utmost shock. “Huhh!” I shook my head at her nonsense. “You know, Gianna. You have gone mad out of jealousy. How can you say that Zade is in love with me? When he himself renounced me for you, his first love. Because of you, he has not even kissed me in the four years of our marriage. You have no idea what hell I have been through in those four years of my marriage.” I let out a bitter laugh, looking at the other side. “Now you are telling me, he has feelings for me. Really! Do I look like an idiot to you that I will buy your words? If you are in the mood to joke with me then please don't. If it was before then I would have laughed at your words but after my divorce joke felt like poison to me.” I noticed how she sighed heavily. “I know you will not believe me. But it won't change the truth anyway if you believe my words or not. But let me tell you, I don't care if he loves me or not but I love him. And I want him in my life. No one can take
GRACELYNN……“What's wrong with that?” Zade’s husky voice made my stomach twirl. “I don't like it. I hate it when you come close to me.” I said quickly and looked at the other side in anger. In the blink of an eye I found myself pinned against the wall, my hands above my head in his tight grasp. Zade was dangerously close to me. His warm breath caressed my face and sent the chill of desire down my spine. I looked down, not wanting to meet his eyes that weakened my knees many times before. But he made me look into his eyes by holding my chin with his forefinger and thumb. I stared into his eyes which were holding some unknown emotions I could put my finger on. “I don't care if you say you hate me. Because I know you still have feelings for me in the corner of your heart. So don't lie. I know you very well. You can change your name to whatever you like. But your heart will remain the same. And your heart loves me.” His face was emotionless. But his overconfident attitude pissed me of
ZADE MEADOWS“Liliana never loved you, Zade. She was always after your money. When you dumped her she chose someone richer than you. But I have always loved you. And only you, Zade. And you know that.” Grace sat close to me and said holding a pool of emotion in her eyes while holding my arm. “I don't know if it was love or something else that I used to feel for you, Gianna. But I never felt for anyone what I feel for Liliana. Even though we sever every tie between us, my feelings for her never change.” I removed her hand from mine. “I know you love me. But you can't insult Liliana like that. Because you can never love me the way she used to love me in your seven lives. I used to be the world to her. Her world used to revolve around me only. If she is not with me today then only I am responsible for that. I lost her because of my foolishness. And I will do anything to win her back.” My words were clear. I hope Gianna understood that she has no place in my life other than a good frie
GRACELYNN…..I was shocked at the sudden movement. I didn't expect Zade to kiss me. It was the second kiss we shared after our marriage. If it was before our divorce. I would have been the happiest girl in this world. But now I feel disgusted. As those lips of his had kissed other girls too. This thought made my blood boil in extreme rage. My hands turned into balls and the next moment he fell on the ground making a loud sound when I pushed him off me and gave a solid punch right on his pretty face.“What the hell!!!” Zade looked at me from the floor with a shocked expression then I saw blood oozing out from his nose. That means the punch was really hard. He immediately pulled out his handkerchief and held it near his nose to stop the bleeding. “What did you do, Lily?” Zade yelled out in anger. And I scoffed at him. “You deserve it. And let me correct you. I'm not Lily. I'm Grace. Hope you will remember this punch and from now on stay out of my way. Otherwise, the consequences wil
ZADE MEADOWS….."Hello,""Is this Zade?" I heard an unknown voice on the other side of the phone. I was driving so I was using an iPod. “Yes, who are you?”“Sir, May I know what's your relationship with Miss Gracelynn Miller?” I was confused by the interrogation over the phone call. “My ex-wife,” I replied with hesitation. “Oh! Your number was on her emergency contact. That's why I am contacting you to tell you that sir, you need to come to the Central Washington hospital as soon as possible. Miss Miller is seriously injured, someone admitted her here.” His words fell like thunder on me. And I put a sudden brake right in the middle of a busy road. “It's a murder case. Someone tried to kill her.”"WHAT!!!"“Please come to the hospital.”"I'm on my way. Don't worry. I'll be there in fifteen minutes." Saying that I hung up the call. I ran my fingers through my hair trying to make myself calm down. I couldn't breathe. And my pulse quickened. I felt like I was going to lose somethin
GRACELYNN…..When I opened my eyes the first thing I saw was Zade’s face. He looked like a mess but I saw the fear of losing something precious in his eyes. “Zade,” I called him with my weak voice. And he didn't waste any time and hugged me. “I can't tell you how scared I was, Lily. I thought I lost you.” His voice cracked at the end and it was the first time I saw him like that. He was always rough and tough. I have never seen him so broken like this. What would I say in this situation even though I thought I would not make it and die? I was never tricked like this. I never thought in my life that I would have to lose my life in order to save someone. And that too in the hand of the person whom I tried to save. I think I'm still too naive to trust others without a second thought. Suddenly Zade was being pulled away from me and I saw Alec standing before me, glaring at Zade. “How many times have I told you to stay away from my fiance, why don't you listen?” Alec yelled at Zade fu
Grace Lynn’s father barged into the room furiously. “I want some privacy here. So please stay outside until I'm done talking to my daughter.” Christian Miller ordered them in his dangerous tone which was enough to stop someone’s heartbeat. A mere glance of his could send a chill down someone’s body. And his death glare could shake someone to the core. They all agreed and stepped back after closing the door. Cristian Miller walked forward to his daughter who was lying on her bed holding her breath in fear. “See, what have you gotten yourself into? I told you to move on in your life and start your new life. But you didn't listen to me. You were adamant to take revenge on Zade. But this revenge game of yours has attracted enemies in your life. You are not safe here. Whoever tried to kill you might try to kill you again if they get to know that you are still alive. I can't risk your life anymore. So I have decided to take you with me.” Grace pulled up her best innocent face to convinc
