More Than Lust novel Chapter 43

Grace's pov

I don't know if i should be thankful or upset and angry with my destiny. It's showing me different sides of life which i don't want to see or experience.

People says things happens for a reason, each and every thing takes place because it's either connected to our past or future. Whatever happens, happens for a good.

I doubt I believe in it anymore, there are so many things happening in my life and I don't think they are good for my future.

Why that happened to me? That night is still haunting me. Sometimes I think if it wasn't for chief then what would have happened with me. He came on right time.

I should be grateful to him. Today I am Alive because of him. He didn't stop there, he helped me to stand on my feet again. Last two days he was being too gentle with me. We were actually having normal conversations. And My body is getting addicted to those massage, it feels so good. I saw his different side in these few days including vacation. And surprisingly he didn't touch me sexually. He was taking care of me and it's actually very surprising for me.

The man who didn't even care to reply my greetings is now taking care of me like i am someone special to him.

I sighed and looked at my feet, i was terrified thinking that i lost my legs. We never understand the value of something until we loose it. I kept walking on the footpath.

I have come out to take a walk in the garden which is few minutes away from my house. It's feeling good. I want to walk until i believe that my legs are fine and i am normal now.

Face is also fine now, little scratch on forehead and spot on lips that's it. I healed well.

I thought Chief will scold me for blaming Leena without any proof, but i am sure that she is the one who did this. That man was talking to woman and she is the only one who hates me. Chief didn't say anything, he acted like he didn't hear it.

May be he doesn't care or may be he can't do anything to her because she is his fiance. I am not complaining, he has done enough for me and that's more than enough. I can't expect from him to punish his own fiance. He looked happy when she declared their marriage.

I can't do anything to Leena either, she is powerful, she has connections and I don't have any proof against her.

I was getting comfortable around him. I wasn't scared anymore. Now I can Converse with him without stuttering. He was treating me good. And that was making me uncomfortable. I am not used to his good side.

I have very light heart. I get attached to people very easily and trusting people quickly is my biggest weakness. I can't be mean to people when they are good to me.

Till now he made it easy for me to hate him because of his behavior but he snatched that reason from me.

Before it turns into something which i don't want, I had to run from there. I told him that I want to go home and he didn't stop me. Why would he, he must be busy in his wedding arrangments. Day after tomorrow he is getting married. It's very easy to fall for a man who is incredibly handsome and being gentle and caring.

But i can't forget last four months just because he is being gentle with me for few days.

Should I really blame him for that?

I mean he is right, I myself chose this. It's my father's fault and i can't do anything about it. I did it to save our lives. At that time warming someone's bed seemed easier than dying.

Should I really blame a stranger because he is treating me like a whore which actually I became with my sobar decision. Of course he will treat me like one.

Now a days i am trying to look for a positive side in all this. At least I didn't get beaten by him, i am not ending up in his play room. He actually saved me and at least he is handsome, it's not some aged man with nasty mouth. And I have saved my dignity by not giving up.

It might sound stupid but it's saving my sanity.

And most important there are only two days left. Today and tomorrow. Today is almost over, it's almost evening. Something weird is happening in my stomach and heart.

There is fear, curiosity, excitement and something which I can't point out. I am scared that something is going to happen.

I have decided, i am not going to keep any grudges with anyone. Neither chief nor Leena, i want to live peacefull life and for that I have to leave everything behind.

"Hey, Grace"

I turned around when i heard my friend's voice. Ruby, is my college friend, gothic beauty. She is nice girl but she is a rebel, she does dangerous things.

"Hii.. Ruby."

I smiled.

"Oh my god what happened?"

She frowned looking at my face.

"Grace, what is this?"

I nervously touched my face. It's not that bad but bruises are still there.

"Nothing, little accident... It's not that serious"

She gently touched my cheek.

"No darling... It's not accident. It looks like someone has abused you... Are you in abusive relationship? Who is that motherfucker?"
