Breaking Free From My Ex (Grace and Antonio)

Chapter 75

I'd secretly dated Antonio Kaufman, my brother's best friend, for seven years.

I always believed a proposal was inevitable.

Then I discovered he was waiting for his first love to return.

I was a placeholder, a convenient means to an end.

***

I followed Antonio to a bar, eavesdropping on his conversation with friends.

"Antonio, now that your true love is back, what about Grace?" one asked.

Antonio's silence hung heavy in the air.

Another man snickered, "Freddy warned us off his sis... He wouldn't let anyone hurt her."

It was common knowledge.

"Alicia dumped me. I was just trying to get back at her," Antonio finally said, his voice so cold it felt like a stranger's.

Later, at Alicia Hogan's welcome-back party, Antonio showered me with attention.

But when Alicia bolted out in tears, he shoved me aside, chasing after her.
