Filed To Story: The Scarlet Vengeance: Justice of a Framed Beauty Novel (Grace & Jason)

Grace knew that her words next were only going to get crueler.

Knowing that she was an ex-convict from the beginning, he respected her, never looked down on her, and stood up for her when many were mocking her.

He was great, and there were qualities in him that she thought were noble.

If she really chose to be with him, then maybe she would spend the rest of her life in a plain but sweet way.

She thought he would make a very good husband too.

However, just because he was a nice man, she did not want to be emotionally indebted to him.

Clearing up any confusion might be the best thing for them.

“Because I don’t love you, it doesn’t matter how long you wait. If I love you,

I’ll even marry you tomorrow,” Grace said word after word.

Every word made Chase Harper’s face paler.

“We… can slowly develop feelings for each other. I’ll work hard to give you a bright future,” he said. He left the Sanitation Service Center and started a business in hopes of being successful so that he could get a chance to win her over!

“But sometimes, some feelings just won’t develop no matter how much time you’ve put in,” said Grace as she unbuckled her seat belt. “You’re great, but I don’t love you, so don’t waste your time on me. Really. It’s not worth it!”

Just as Grace was about to open the door and get out of the car, suddenly, there was the sound of a seat belt unbuckling.

Chase Harper turned to the side and

 hugged her.

“I… I really like you. I… I know I’m useless. I can’t provide you a lavish lifestyle, but I can accompany you every day. I can do everything I can to protect you. If you’ve know you never tried, how do you know can’t develop feelings for me no matter how long it takes?”

He was stuttering. He was so anxious yet so earnest.

Grace’s nose felt a little sore. It turned out that there was someone who liked her so much.

It was not for any other reason. He just respected her no matter how destitute she was.

She did not push him away. His hug felt very, very warm.

It was because of this warmth that she hoped that one day he could meet a woman who really loved him!

“Chase Harper, thank you for liking me, but even now when you’re holding me, I feel nothing for you. Do you think it’s necessary to try?” she said.

In her ears came the sound of his silent breathing.

A black car was parked not far away. The man inside looked at the pair embracing each other in the car ahead while his hands on his lap tightened…

The night was dark.

Grace was already asleep in her bed in the quiet room, but the light by her bedside was on.

Ever since moving out of Reed Residence, she began turning on the light when she slept at night again.

The soft light fell on her face, making her sleeping face seem serene and gentle.

Suddenly, the door of the rented house was gently pushed open. A figure entered the house and closed the door behind them.

The light fell on their body, reflecting the gloom on their face.

Jason walked to the bedside step by step, looking at Grace who lay fast asleep on the bed.

The scene he witnessed today repeated before his eyes again and again.

He met the man Chase Harper when she was still working at the Sanitation

Service Center. Unexpectedly, she was with that man again now.

‘She… even let the man hold her.

‘Does she know that when I saw that, I kept asking myself why she didn’t push him away? Why?

‘Is she… attracted to that man?

‘Is that why she’s willing to let that man hold her like that? Would she… date that man someday? Would she let the man kiss her? Would she… marry that man and have children with him?’

At the thought of these possibilities, an acrid feeling spread across his chest, accompanied by a feeling that left him breathless.

“Is this the man you’re going to use to forget me?” the cold voice murmured.

However, the sleeping woman made no answer.

Jason stared down at the sleeping Grace.

After a long while, he bent over to her cheek as if he wanted to get a closer look.

“Don’t like other men, okay?” he muttered.

He was the one who had kicked her away. He was the one who wanted to break up with her, and he was the one who wanted to stop loving her. However, he could not accept it when he saw her being so intimate with other men.

He was conflicted.

Meanwhile, she was still in a deep slumber.

His line of sight moved from her eyes to her nose bridge, lips… Almost uncontrollably, he moved closer and closer to her, trying to take in her scent.

“Um…” Her pink and tender lips unconsciously opened, muttering something in her sleep. It was like a fuse that made Jason tremble suddenly.

Then, as if possessed, he kissed the woman’s seductive lips…

‘Um… Something seems to be pressing my lips. It’s so hot… Grace was so drowsy that she could only vaguely feel something on her lips.

Her instinct was to escape it, but she could not seem to do it.

Then, she slowly regained consciousness.

‘No, someone’s kissing me!’ She instinctively opened her eyes, but they were filled with darkness.

‘It’s a hand! It feels like a hand. A hand was covering her eyes, so she could not see anything.

The kiss deepened.

‘Who is it? Who’s kissing me?’ Grace was full of fear, struggling almost with all her might.

However, her struggle was subdued by an absolute force.

She could not break free nor escape.

However, she suddenly caught a whiff of a familiar scent accompanied by the kiss that made her tremble.

‘It’s… Jason?’

They had been the most intimate with each other, so how could she not know his scent? Besides, this kiss… This familiar feeling…

‘It had to be him!

‘Why is he kissing me? Why is it like this?

‘No, I don’t want it!’

Grace gave a sharp bite and her mouth was instantly filled with a smell of blood… Then, she heard his grunts of pain.

However, he soon planted an even stronger and more powerful kiss. It was like a storm, almost leaving her breathless.

“Let… Let me go… Let me…” she stammered, trying desperately to pull his hand away from her eyes.

The moment her eyes seemed to see the light in the room, a hand struck her at the back of her neck, making her faint.

Jason looked at the person he knocked out.

He almost lost control and just wanted to have his way with her here.

Her struggles only intensified his desires.

Under the lamplight, a trail of blood dripped from the corner of his lips. It looked so shocking.

His fingers gently wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth. This was… the pain she gave him.

He even wanted to cherish this pain.

‘Am I possessed? I’ll take anything she gives me!
