"Well, Grace," he said smoothly, "it's good to know you are not heartless like you made me believe earlier. Have you thought about my proposal?"
Seeing the victorious smirk around Trent's mouth, Grace felt like strangling him to death.
Trent sighed when he did not get any response from Grace. "Sweetheart, I'm only doing this because I love you and for you, I am willing to be anything," he said.
Grace took a deep breath, her mind racing. She had sneaked out to see Trent without Jace and Wendy's knowledge. After thinking about the whole thing, she still wasn't reconciled to the idea of watching Wendy's mother die.
Was it not just to be his girlfriend? She will play along with him for some time while working on a plan to expose the devil for who he really is.
She was also banking on the fact that he might not do anything to her because of the respect he has for his Aunt, Jace's mother whom she was going to involve along the line.
