She really got involved! She was not supposed to help Ruby!
Grace was filled with regret.
"Hey, i'm asking you, cleaner.'
Grace only had to nod.
The cynical voice laughed happily, and said to Ruby, “Have you heard? A cleaner is better at looking at the situation than you, having a good self-knowledge.' He grabbed the bottle of wine and put it on the table again, “Drink ¡t all. Otherwise, call Gloria over.' Gloria was the one who interviewed Grace.
When it came to Gloria, Ruby was a little scared. Her family was poor and she came to Royal club as a waiter because of the high salary. lf
Gloria came here, then she would lose her job.
"don't call Gloria!" Ruby grabbed the bottle of wine on the crystal table. "! drink!" She said. Before drinking, tears came down.
"Wait a minute." In the darkness, a low voice sounded unhurriedly. Grace turned her back to the dark corner, and when she heard this voice, she began to tremble violently.
Panic crawled under her eyes, and her breathing began to heavier.
"Turn around. In the darkness, the voice commanded.
Grace felt her legs were too heavy to move. She said to herself desperately, "Not to me."
"I say it again, turn around. You, the cleaner."
Grace felt like she was punched. She knew she had to do it. Her teeth were trembling up and down. She wore heavy clothes, turned around hard.
The atmosphere was very weird. At this time, everyone discovered that something was wrong.
The cynical boy pinched his fingers to his lips and whistled happily, "What a game we have today."
A man on the sofa shouted, "Ingemar, shut up, don't disturb me watching the show."
"Fuck, Humbert, youre so fucking bad.”
Grace s eyes were full of fear, she wanted to escape!
Three years in prison, one thousand and ninety-five days and nights, her life was filled with untold suffering. She never dared to have any unreasonable thoughts about Caden after coming out the hell on earth. What left was the unforgettable fear and dread of this man.
Even though she still had obsession and love for this man, these feelings had been buried in her heart long ago, and wouldn't come out again.
"Look up.' The voice ordered slowly. Grace moved one by one with his orders.
The light was dim, and the man, hiding in the dark corner. She did not dare to look closely when she came in, no wonder she didn't notice him.
Caden was like an emperor, sitting gracefully in the corner of the sofa, with his slender arms resting on the armrests of the sofa. His chin was rested on the back of his hand, which looked very elegant. But he wore a pair gold-rimmed frames glass, stared at her like a hungry wolf, as if he would tear her apart anytime and anywhere.

The readers' comments on the novel: I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden)
How can a woman suffer so much? How can a man be too cruel initially robbing her of dignity and all, then deceiving her after he knows he loves her? How can they not remarry, making their offspring illegitimate? The line between love and hatred is truly fine indeed! Thank you for this story....
