Novel & Cerita The Disgraced

“It's for the best; you have disgraced this family. You can do this as a redemption for your disgrace.” Sophia, her stepsister, snickered. “You are just mad because you think that you are too good for the man. Should I remind you again? You are not that flashy and renowned author anymore. You are just a disgrace and a homewrecker.” Rose's eyes flashed, and she cleaned her fist. “You don't know anything about me and my life, so just keep shut.” Catherine intervened. “That's enough; get ready, Sophia.” “So who's the man I am getting married to?”.

Grace tried hard not to let her mind sway but she was losing against that enchanting smell. 'The hell is wrong with me.' Grace frantically shook her head as that smell was tempting. It was pulling her towards itself and she was willingly dropping her weapons. "But you are keen on disobeying me." Xavier continued speaking. The sound of his boots accentuated her heartbeat. His voice, on the other hand, held disappointment. Grace couldn't resist herself from rolling her eyes. 'Jerk. My disobedience disappoints him then what about him murdering people?' She felt disgusted. Now she was loathing herself from trusting this man. Indeed, she made a huge mistake last night.

“Dig into her past. Make sure every television station, every blog, every newspaper, and every social media platform talks about nothing except Lyvanne. I can help you with some of her personal information right here if it works for you.” My pulse raced with excitement; a wide smile spread across my face. “And Alexander?” I asked. “He'll be forced to watch the woman he still loves become the nation's disgrace.” I let out a long, satisfied, sinister laugh. The image alone filled me with satisfaction. “You're right,” I nodded. “Dead people become martyrs. But disgraced people lose everything.” The mysterious man chuckled and turned away. “Our business ends here.” “Wait!” As I called out to him

"I had an affair with Grace. A year into our marriage. It was wrong. I ended it, not her — Marcus told you she ended it, and that's what she believes, but I pulled back first. I made it messy. She was hurt and I handled it badly and I will carry that." I let the silence hold for a moment. "And then you dismantled her business." His jaw tightened. "There were legitimate disputes over the properties. What Marcus calls dismantling was a legal business disagreement that I did not handle with any grace." "Grace Park lost her company, Caleb." "I know that." "And you are telling me it was a business disagreement."

He thought for a moment before continuing. "Their conceit overwhelms me. They think and act like they are the most perfect, dignified, flawless persons in the world. I can't stand such hypocrisy any longer." "One could hardly blame them for that. Your family has an impeccable reputation for hundred of years. Thus far they has never been touched by any scandal or indignity. No wonder they despise me. I was born from misdeed, I live in disgrace, and now I've been soaking in scandal." He squeezed her hand gently in his hold.

Damian said more confidently even though he was slowly panicking in his mind. "Wait let me check," Gina said and stood up walking to get her book of records, she took the book and flipped it open reading word after word. "Well I have a Cara Hayes, but she was a junkie, a chronic one," Gina shook her head sorrowfully. "Poor kid died of overdose last week, but I believe that's not the Cara you looking for." "No," Damien slumped to the couch, his hopes deflated.

It was the first thing that felt almost normal since Finn threw me out last night. Grace slid behind the wheel and turned to me, her face pale. She looked at my face, my bare feet, and my ruined gown. “This is about that deadbeat husband of yours, isn’t it?” I tried to laugh, but it came out as a sob. “I don’t have a husband anymore. Finnian gave me divorce papers and forced me to sign them.” “What?” she yelled, hands gripping the wheel. “Babe… I swear to God, that is the best news I’ve heard in four years. Good riddance to that piece of trash!”

He stammered. " I have no idea what happened but thanks to your stupidity, the whole of Winchester already knows about what happened years ago and last night. And the story is so twisted, Serena is regarded as the whore here! The paper says she seduced both brothers!!" She threw at him, anger dripping from her word. Gerald could only stare ahead, his gaze unseeing. " Congratulations Gerald. But you just succeeded in ruining everything I've spent years to grow."

How could she smile, laugh, and dance the night away after such an act? Beatrice clutched the edge of her chair, barely able to process the public’s fury. Viewers had even dug up Victor’s past, exposing a history of reckless behavior: car accidents, violent incidents, rumors of a hit-and-run that killed a pregnant woman. Everything was out in the open now, and the Grays had become a national disgrace overnight. William wasn’t spared from the backlash either. The hard work they had put in to build their reputation was now all wasted. Beatrice was truly scared this time.

Vera suddenly asked, catching Grace off guard. “Ah," Grace flinched at the question. "No," she responded with a sad smile, "but I did do something worse, though,” she added. Taken aback, Vera asked in shock, “What?” Grace took a deep breath, her eyes meeting Mrs. Vera’s. She thought to herself, 'Maybe it's time she knew about my past.' Settling into her chair, Grace began to recount her story, holding nothing back. She spoke of the accident that shattered her life, her father's tragic death, her own trauma, and her mother's prolonged coma. She explained how her mother had only recently woken up, which was why she had disappeared for months.
