Breaking Free From My Ex (Grace and Antonio)

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

With Kate and Talia laid to rest, Grace found a glimmer of

closure.

But when she got home and saw workers taking down framed pictures in the living room-Talia's drawings, the last things she had left-her anger flared.

She stormed forward, eyes blazing. "What are you doing? Who told you to do this?"

Yesenia came downstairs in her pajamas, rubbing her sleepy eyes. "Grace, I want to hang my paintings in the living room. Antonio already agreed."

The noise brought Antonio down. "Grace, Yesenia's a pro. She says these drawings are too amateurish. Let's not keep them. When Talia comes back, Yesenia will teach her."

Grace's chest heaved with anger. "You think you can just toss them? These are my Talia's last keepsakes! She's never coming back!"

"Time and again, you test my patience. Burn every last one. Yesenia will teach Talia herself so she doesn't pick up your bad habits," he shouted, flaring up.

Grace broke down completely. She lunged for the drawings, but the bodyguards held her back.

The workers smashed the frames and threw Talia's drawings into the roaring fireplace.
