Broken Vows by Tessa Montgomery

Chapter28

The pills were different from what I usually took.

Although I studied obstetrics, I could still tell the difference.

Unless I was still groggy from sleep, I wouldn’t have mixed them up.

The bottle was on the bedside table.

Usually, no one else but Antonio would enter my room.

The answer was clear.

My hand holding the pills started shaking uncontrollably.

In the end, I collapsed to the floor with a thud.

“It’s impossible…”

I desperately tried to comfort myself, trying to believe in Antonio.

After all, we had truly been in love for so many years.

At our best, he’d protected me from a car accident, shielding me with his body just to keep me safe.

He said, “Grace, you mean more to me than anything, event more than myself. I can’t lose you.”

That day, I cried until I could barely breathe, vowing to love him forever.
