Grace James And Caden Shaw Novel Novels & Stories

Chapter Two: The Edge of Everything The morning begins with silence. Not the natural kind, but the thick, pointed sort that hums under the surface like a held breath. The storm has passed, leaving the estate damp and steaming in the heat. Birds return to the trees. The pool glints blue beyond the patio, perfectly still, like glass waiting to shatter. Grace wakes alone, but not undisturbed. Her skin remembers his hand at her neck, the taste of his mouth, the way his breath had caught in his throat when she leaned in. Her lips are still tender, as if bruised by the pressure of everything they didn’t finish.

I’d sit at the dining table, open my laptop, and scroll through emails from publishers, podcast producers, and conference planners. My face was everywhere now. The Grace Carter story had gone from tragedy to trending. There was even talk of a N*****x adaptation. Still, I couldn’t read too many of the articles. They got pieces of it wrong, most people did except Noah. Noah knew every detail, the ugly ones, the humiliating ones and he never once looked at me like I was broken. He kissed me like I was his salvation even now, every day, sometimes twice. Nova would groan and yell, “Eww! Again?! Get a room, you two!” and run away laughing but I never got tired of it. The safety in it, the warmth,

I scrolled through the P*F, my grip tightening until my knuckles turned white. Subject: GRACE EVANS & SARAH EVANS Status: Untraceable. Last known location: St. Jude’s Hospital. Discharged against medical advice. Neighbors report they moved abroad for treatment funded by an anonymous donor. I scrolled down to the second section. Subject: REED FAMILY Status: Unreachable. Private Island in the Maldives. Communication blackout for three weeks. I let out a dark, humorless laugh. It was too clean. Too surgical. Grace vanishes. The Reeds go dark. And suddenly, a woman who looks exactly like Grace appears as Isabella Reed, securing a merger that saves the Reed family and keeps Sebastian in power.

At nineteen, Daisy Bennett thought love would save her from poverty. A scholarship student with dreams of becoming an elementary school art teacher, she falls deeply for Jace Kingston—the billionaire hockey heir who promises her a future beyond her struggles. But when forged evidence brands Daisy a fraud who cheated her way into university, everything shatters. Jace believes the lie and destroys their relationship in a single moment of betrayal. Pregnant and alone, Daisy disappears. Five years later, she has rebuilt her life as an art teacher—and the mother of a four-year-old son she raised without him. Jace is now a world-famous NHL superstar, haunted by the girl he lost and the truth he

I said, holding my hands out between us as if to stop him from coming closer. Hayden stepped close and placed his hands around my neck; the sudden touch of his cold fingers shocked me. He ran his fingertips along my skin like he owned me. “You are mine, Grace! Mine!” ********* FEW YEARS BACK I sat on the podium with Madison beside me, my eyes on the rink as I watched East Dale score yet another goal. “It feels so good to see you after the summer break”, Madison exclaimed, hugging me cheerfully. “Yet, the first thing you did after arriving was to watch your boyfriend’s game.” She snorted. I smiled, my eyes on the rink.

Grace dreamed of me? *****

She’d realized she’d kept herself alone to avoid getting hurt, but Gavin had shown her that, for love, the risk was always worth it. The door opened, and Grace entered. She wore the silvery bridesmaid dress that Kat also wore, and her blonde hair was piled on top of her head. She looked absolutely radiant, and Kat had to wonder if Grace Danvers had a secret of her own. “Adam wanted me to ask if you were ready,” Grace asked. Joy raised an eyebrow. “And you can ask him if he’s ready.” Then she smiled. “I’m as ready as I’ll ever be.” Grace practically bounced on her toes, and Kat eyed her. Was she touching her abdomen more often than usual, or was she imagining things? She bit her lip to keep f

Cassandra was really a very hot baddie; she has wealthy parents, same as Grace, just that her father died and all her luxurious life ended. And she had been treated badly a lot from both Victor and Alpha Nelson, all in the name of penury. Grace wore a very crazy black trouser that reviewed her well-curved shape; she also wore a white top that showed her stomach a little, though it was a moderate dressing; she wore her stocking and her very beautiful white shoe canvas. She made sure her long Raven black hair fell freely on her back and was reaching her at her buttocks. She tied a very beautiful scarf around it, and damn, she was looking so hot and pretty.

--- After, Cain didn’t speak. He just stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, nude, smoke curling from the cigar between his fingers as Grace lay in his bed, bare and marked and utterly undone. “I should send you back home,” he said finally. “Let you crawl into bed next to that little husband of yours.” Grace sat up, sheets sliding off her breasts. “He doesn’t ask where I go anymore.” Cain exhaled slowly. “Maybe he’s not as clueless as you think.” ---

“I need to pop to the loo, so I put our order in. Be back in a minute!” James waited till Grace was out of earshot before speaking. “What are you doing here Jason?” he hissed. “I don’t know what you mean?”Jason said with a smile. “Don’t act innocent with me, I invented the book on it! There is no way a cardio surgeon would come to a place like this!” Snapped James. “Why not? Grace does!”Jason said with a smirk. “Grace is special!” James said “That she is, my friend!” Jason said wistfully.
