Chapter 421 I Want to Pursue You Again
Grace's eyes were all teary, like morning dew on a delicate flower. "Please, stop. I'm begging you," she pleaded.
But little did she know, this vulnerable side of her only fueled the darkness inside Xavier.
He leaned in close and whispered, "Grace, that's not how you beg."
"Acting like this just makes me want to mess with you more."
And with that, Xavier made love to her with a tender yet commanding intensity.
When Grace woke up again, it was almost noon.
"You bastard!" she spat.
Grace lunged at Xavier, biting his neck harder until blood started to ooze.
The veins on Xavier's neck throbbed, but he stayed silent, letting her bite him.
When she finally let go, Xavier extended his hand. "Want to bite this too?"
Of course!
Another neat set of teeth marks appeared on his arm.
Even though Grace was furious, Xavier seemed pretty pleased, especially after she said she liked him last night.
"Grace, I need to tell you something," Xavier started.
There were things between them that needed to be cleared up. Grace might not forgive him, but that was okay; he was ready to chase after her again.
He had underestimated how much she meant to him; he couldn't live without her anymore.
"I don't want to hear it, get out!" Grace snapped.
Xavier's Adam's apple bobbed. "Actually, back then I..."
Grace covered her ears. "What? You think you can just toy with me? Call me over or kick me out whenever you want, treat me however you like?"
"Or do you think you haven't had enough revenge, and now you want something else from me?"
"Listen, Xavier, I'm not calling the cops this time out of mercy. But if my brother finds out, you're in big trouble!"
Grace glared at him, spitting out the harshest words.
But to Xavier, she had no real bite, and it even broke his heart a little.
He didn't mean it that way; he didn't want to hurt her.
"I want to pursue you again." As soon as Xavier finished speaking, she slapped him across the face.
Grace was silent.
Maybe she slapped him too quickly.
"You're crazy. If you don't leave, I will!" she said, trying to get up from the bed.
She would never believe Xavier's words again. Pursuing her was all a lie; someone like Xavier always had an agenda. She couldn't be fooled again.
Grace tried to leave, not bothering to deal with him, but Xavier stopped her. "You rest well, I'll go."
He had already had clothes sent over; they were at the door.
Wearing only a towel, Xavier went to get the clothes.
He changed right in front of Grace, without any hesitation.
Soon, he was dressed impeccably.
Grace didn't want to look at him, but Xavier insisted on being in front of her. Her eyes involuntarily glanced at his crotch, and then she noticed, were his pants too small? Why else would they be so bulging?
"Then I'll go. The driver will take you back. I've already had Daniel captured. If you want to kill him, I'll make sure he doesn't see the light of day tomorrow," Xavier said.
"Don't worry about Daniel, I'll handle it myself!" Grace replied.
Grace wasn't about to let Daniel off the hook. Since he treated her like this, she was going to make him feel the same pain!
"Okay," Xavier said.
"I..." Xavier's Adam's apple bobbed, his gaze lingering on her. He really didn't want to leave Grace.
But Grace's expression was cold, and she didn't even glance at him.
"I'm leaving," he said, deciding he'd explain everything to her properly next time he had the chance.
Grace was exhausted and didn't want to move at all.
Even though she hated this room, she rested for a while longer.
She found her lost phone beside the bed, probably brought over by Xavier.
Thinking about what happened with Xavier again, Grace felt a mix of emotions.
Forget it, it already happened. No point dwelling on it; it would only add to her troubles.
Her phone had a bunch of messages, some from her brothers, some from Hayden apologizing, and some from her assistant saying Hayden was willing to cooperate with them without any profit, which was like giving Iris money, and asked if Grace wanted to sign the contract.
Grace replied directly: [No.]
Someone like Hayden wasn't worth Iris signing a contract with.
Plus, she wanted to hold Hayden accountable. She remembered there were surveillance cameras in the private room, and when she was about to get the footage, Xavier had already sent the video to her email.
She could do whatever she wanted with it because the evidence was solid.
However, Grace didn't want to use Xavier's evidence.
Although she didn't know what Xavier meant by pursuing her again, she wasn't falling for the same trap twice.
Grace found the restaurant from yesterday, got the surveillance footage, and directly sued Hayden for intentional harm.
Then she found Daniel, who was almost beaten to death by Xavier yesterday. Now he was locked up by Xavier's guys. Grace went over and saw the bruised and battered Daniel.
His leg seemed broken, and when he saw Grace, he started to beg for mercy.
"Ms. Lewis, I was momentarily dazzled by your beauty. Xavier has already punished me for it. Please, let me go. I promise to go back to Oakworth and never have any improper thoughts about you again."
Daniel said this, but his gaze towards Grace was still so lewd.
Grace was really too beautiful, even with the purple kiss marks on her neck, it was obvious what had happened.
Despite regretting that he had helped Xavier get Grace last night, Daniel found himself wanting her even more. The allure of what had captivated Xavier was irresistible.
He didn't mind that Grace had been with Xavier; it made him even more excited.
Even while begging for mercy, Daniel's evil thoughts hadn't gone away.
Grace belonged to the Lewis family. As long as he survived this, he would have a chance to get her. Grace could be considered Taylor's stepdaughter. He could use Taylor to compel Grace into compliance.
Grace's cold eyes made Daniel's blood boil, intensifying his desire for her.
Grace didn't waste words with Daniel. She waved her hand and ordered the people behind her. "Make him take it."
This was something she learned from Xavier, using the same method to get revenge. She wanted Daniel to experience the feeling of being drugged with an aphrodisiac.
