Chapter 2 All because of one little phrase : " I owe her . " [ ] When Blake had to choose between us , he always picked her . Every damn time . [ ] No matter how much drama Scarlett stirred up , Blake would always expect me to be the one to back down . [ ] When Scarlett got wasted and destroyed my design portfolio - three days and nights of work down the drain - Blake just patted my head and said , " You can always draw it again . " [ ] Every single date we went on , Scarlett would blow up his phone with calls , demanding he come home . [ ] Every vacation we planned , she'd find some excuse to tag along . [ ] Whatever gift I got , she had to have the exact same one . [ ] She managed to ruin every important moment in my life . [ ] One text , one call , and Blake would drop everything - and me - to go running to her . Didn't matter where we were or what we were doing . Even getting our marriage license kept getting delayed because whenever we tried to make it official , Scarlett would throw a fit and threaten to kill herself . [ ] And every single time , Blake would get that cold , distant look on his face and rush back to comfort her . I put up with this bullshit for ten years . Ten years of Blake telling me how " mature " and " understanding " I was . [ ] Well , I'm done being understanding . That word has become a fucking joke . [] " You never used to ask questions like this . Today you're way out of line . " [ ] Blake's eyes were ice - cold , like he was looking at a complete stranger . [ ] " What you owed her before is one thing , but now my sister's life is on the line ! " [] Blake bent down , picked up the pen , and held it out to me . " Grace , you know damn well that if I can make you lose once , I can make you lose again . " ] " Over and over . " ] His words were a crystal clear warning - he'd always protect Scarlett , no matter what . [ ] The kind of fierce loyalty he'd never once shown me . [ ] That sentence was also declaring the death of my ten years of love . [ ] No kuom for Me ? No Problem , I'll Plant Them on Your Grave Chapter 2 " Fine . I'll sign . " ] The moment the pen touched paper , I swear I could hear Claire crying . My tears blurred the ink , like my heart was bleeding all over the page . ]] Blake straightened up , and for just a second , I caught something that looked like distress in his eyes . [ ] " I'm sorry , Grace . I don't have a choice . " ] ] He was wrong . I'm the one who never had a choice . [ ] " After we're engaged , I'll move you into the main house . " ] " And I'll have a talk with Scarlett . Make sure she knows to leave you alone from now on . " loosened my grip on the pen and actually laughed . [ ] " 0 H The Harrisons were old money royalty , and I was just some middle - class nobody who'd somehow caught their golden boy's attention . IT Blake and I had only made it this far because he'd fought his family for me , stood up to all their pressure . Back then , I thought if he was willing to go to war with his own bloodline for me , then I had to make sure he didn't lose that fight . [ ] So when it came to Scarlett , I always put up with everything . [] I thought he didn't understand all the mind games women play with each other , but it turns out he knew exactly what was going on . For ten whole years , he'd known Scarlett was targeting me . [ ] He'd enabled her for a decade , letting her hurt me for ten straight years . " Don't bother with the move . I'm staying at my place to take care of Claire . " I didn't even look at him as I walked out . [ ] Maybe I'd spent so long desperately wanting the Harrison family's approval that moving into their mansion had become this twisted obsession . [ ] But now ? Now that place felt like a goddamn prison . ] The second I stepped outside , I ran straight into Scarlett coming home . [] She had designer shopping bags hanging off both arms , with a couple of staff members trailing behind her carrying at least a dozen more . [ ] " Grace ! You're here ! " [ ] " Blake said I seemed down lately , so he gave me his black card and told me to go shopping therapy . " She waved the bags like trophies . Chapter 2 " You probably have one too , right ? " My hands clenched into fists at my sides . Looking at her fake - sweet smile made me physically sick . [ ] The person who destroyed my sister got to go on shopping sprees , while the victim didn't even get to speak up . [] I pushed past her without a word and got in my car . In the hospital room , looking at my sister covered in tubes and wires , my guilt peaked . [ ] I pulled out my phone . [ ] " Hello ? " " I'm sending you the victim list . Help me contact them for a joint lawsuit . " ] " Right , tell them Marcus Stone is the attorney . " [ ] Isn't it just going to court ? ] I won't sue directly , but I can get others to sue . [ ] Blake Harrison , I'll make sure you regret this ! [ ] Not only will I sue , I'll use that settlement money to fund it . [ ] mi
