“Dad, look Lynn is not looking good. She looked so pale. I think there is something that is bothering her.” Alexander told his father Christian who also noticed how pale Gracelynn was looking. He wanted to go and ask her. But he was also afraid that if someone came to know about their relationship then it would ruin their upcoming plan. Being a father he was worried for her. But he was angry with her for escaping home. That's why he decided to send Alex to Lynn. “Why are you worrying about her? She's responsible for her condition. She never listened to me and got herself into trouble. Let her stay on her own. She will come back when she feels like it. If you’re so concerned for her then go ask her. I don't care about such a rebellious girl.” Alex understood the meaning behind his words and smiled. He knew his father was also worried for her. But he will not show it. That's why he wants him to go and ask her. “You don't have to worry about her. She has a brother who loves her dearly

GRACELYNN…..“Have you lost your mind, Lynn? How can you create a mess here? Dad is really disappointed in you.” I snapped my head at him and glared at him with my blazing eyes. “Alex. Are you saying this? Then let me tell you I don't care what he thinks of me. And one more thing, when you can't take responsibility then don't take it on your shoulder.” I was so mad at that time that I didn't even know what I was saying. I just told him whatever came into my mind at that time.“Beatrix was your responsibility. You brought her to the party. So as her guardian, you should have taken care of her and kept her around you.” I emphasized on each word while pointing my finger at him. “But what you did?”“You left her alone in between the ferocious wolves who are ready to devour her.”“What if someone harmed her? Would you be able to forgive yourself?” I asked him and he looked down in guilt, realizing his mistake. “Now you have come to lecture me. If you had performed your duty properly the

GRACELYNN…..“It's a beautiful place, Alec. Who does this belong to?” I asked him when he brought me to the treehouse. I was sad and heartbroken after witnessing Zade kissing Gianna.It's been three years since we were divorced and it still hurts like hell. I know I shouldn’t have cried in front of Alec when we were engaged with each other. But I couldn't help it. My heart is not in my control.“It's mine. When I feel upset or stressed I come here. I feel relaxed here. That's why I brought you here to watch Starry Sky.” I looked at the sky and it was beautiful and soothing scenery. Looking at the stars I felt light.“Thanks, Alec. Thanks for everything you did for me. You were always there for me when I needed someone to lean on.” I expressed my gratitude from the core of my heart. And he wiped fake tears, hearing my words. “Will you make me cry now?” Then he stared at me with a pool of emotions in his eyes. He held my face tenderly. “What I did, did for myself. You are my life. And

GRACELYNN……Tring….Tring….Tring…..I heard some irritating noise that disturbed my sleep and my beautiful dream where a man was saving me from falling but before I could see his face that damn noise broke my dream. I stirred and tried to open my eyes slightly. But everything looked fuzzy. I moved my hand to search for my phone but I couldn't find it. I sat up on the bed and stretched my arms then rubbed my eyes to clear my vision. But all of a sudden I felt a throbbing pain in my head. I clutched my head with both my palms firmly. The pain was really unbearable and it was killing me. I blinked my eyes for some moment and finally, my vision became clear. And I got a 440-degree bolt shock. I looked here and there, up and down."I'm in a hotel room?" A fear of balls grew inside my stomach and I immediately looked inside the sheet to check if I was naked or not. But to my relief, I was fully dressed. I scratched the back of my head in confusion thinking about how I ended up here. Somebod

GRACELYNN……Zade moved his face close to mine and sniffed my hair that was scattered on my shoulder. “Your green apple scent always drives me crazy. Only I know how I have controlled myself whenever you tried to come near me back in time.” His voice was hoarse. And it sent heat to my core. I shouldn't be affected by his shameless actions. “Zade.” I was shocked when my voice came out hoarse. Suddenly a moan left my mouth when I felt his soft lips on my shoulder. He was leaving small kisses on my shoulder trailing to my exposed neck. “Zade, stop!” My chest was heaving up and down as I was breathing heavily. My heart was racing inside my chest. If I don't stop him I am afraid my body will betray me and surrender to him. I craved his touch for years but that time he didn't touch me. Now when I don't want him to touch me he is exactly doing what I wanted him to do years back when we were together. “I don’t know why I can’t stop, princess.” His wet tongue swirled on my skin as his breath
