Her Saving Grace Novels & Stories

"Before then, is there anyone you would like to call to tell them you are okay?" "No, not for now," I said, not wanting to talk to my dad yet. He had already chosen his new found love, so he can as well have a great life. "Can I ask about Camella instead? Did you happen to save her too?" "Camella, so that is her name," he said almost to himself. "Well, I found her, and she is alive but in a coma right now." "What?!" I was stunned to hear that, that I jumped off the bed. "I like her for reasons I cannot explain; she is like the sister I never had, and the few hours we spent together made me know she has a great heart."

Catching his breaths, he waited for Nicholas to spill the beans but he remained speechless which made him follow his gaze. "What part of 'I would never hurt you' you didn't understand?" Xavier finally seethed breaking her trance. Grace licked her lips and lowered her head. She didn't want to thank him for saving her but also lacked the courage to fight back so she kept quiet. But this was a reckless move. She was trying to save her child but at the end of the day, she’s the one who’ll be risking his life. Her haste decisions would always make Xavier her hero at the end of the day.

Grace instinctively covered her mouth and nose. Luke was shielding Grace as they moved toward the exit when a burning beam fell upon them. Grace's eyes widened, and she pushed Luke away. "Ms. Lewis!" Separated by the beam and smoke, they looked at each other. Coughing, Grace shouted, "Get out first! Find someone to save me!" "Ms. Lewis! I can't leave you!" "Get out!" Grace shouted, stopping him from approaching. After much hesitation, Luke regained his senses. "You must wait for me!"

Her lips curved into a weak smile, and she murmured, “It’s okay, Apollo… Ryan is one of the best doctors in the country… he knows what he’s doing.” I shook my head, trying to keep the panic from spilling out of me, but the tears on Ryan’s face and the helpless sobs of Mrs. Jones and Theodore only made it worse. Grace’s voice cut through the chaos, “Apollo… I love you.” My chest constricted, my throat tight, and I shook my head, “ I’m saving you, even if I have to give my life to the devil. Screw that, I’ll save you even if I have to go to heaven and fight God. I will let anyone try to take you from me, you are mine, Grace.”

A few of them even started cursing her outright. "She destroyed a family and killed an innocent child. A woman this shameless will get what's coming to her!" "Karma is real. She deserves to rot in hell!" Yet, Quintus still tried to defend Vanessa despite the embarrassment. "This has to be a misunderstanding. Nessa isn't like that." The nurse scoffed. "Birds of a feather flock together. Scum like you will get what you deserve too." She paused, then cleared her throat. "I was on the rescue team that day during the earthquake. This man knew that his wife had a blood clotting disorder, yet he still gave the emergency treatment slot to his mistress."

Christian’s voice suddenly cut through the thick emotions hanging in the air, and with a small nod, he left us alone. “Thank you, Grace,” I said the moment the doors swung open swung close, taking her hand in mine, “really. You saved my life, and I don’t know how to repay you.” Grace managed a weak smile. “Unless you want to pay me twice,” she managed a weak smile, “but it’s my job, Ms. Carter. Keeping you safe.” I squinted my eyes playfully. “Really? I didn’t know personal assistants did all that too.”

Her words barely made sense in my mind. “What did you just say?” I asked, my voice low and dangerous. Grace stepped forward, her chin raised defiantly. “She tried to kill you, Cage! If I hadn’t stopped her, you’d be the one lying there, not her! Why are you even wasting your time on her?” I stared at her, the weight of her words sinking in. Grace had saved me. I knew that. Berrilyl had been the one to betray me, to bring poison into my home, into my life. But none of that seemed to matter now.

"I know. I know. Just stay awake. Can you do that? Stay awake for me." Her eyes were already closing again. "No! Grace! Look at me!" He grabbed her hand. Squeezed it. "Stay awake!" Her eyes opened slightly. "Tried...to kill me." "I know. But you're alive. You survived." "You...saved me." "Always." He pulled her close. Trying to share body heat. But they were both freezing. Both dying from the cold. "I'll always save you." Grace's hand squeezed his. Weak but there. "Sophia?"

“That’s right! I’d rather die now than watch Harper marry someone else!” Anthony frowned. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, the sound of a gunshot rang out. “Hahaha! Die, you worthless trash!” It was Lucy. She had been hiding in a corner. She raised the gun and fired at Harper and me. Harper was the first to react. In a flash, she threw herself in front of me. Fortunately, the bullet went astray and struck the window. Eyes filled with madness, Lucy quickly fired several more shots at us.

Tried to break free. But I held on. Used every piece of myself. Every fragment. Every bit of consciousness I had left. Became her prison. And Grace—Grace was inside me. Safe. Protected. Carried in mother's consciousness turned into cage for monster. "Mommy, what are you doing?" Grace asked. Inside our shared awareness. "What's happening?" "I'm saving you," I said. "I'm saving everyone. I'm—I'm being foundation one last time. But not for humans. For her. I'm going to hold her. Trap her. Keep her contained forever so she can't hurt anyone."
