Broken Vows by Tessa Montgomery

Chapter42

They wanted to bury Melvin next to Celia’s mom, but I had already anticipated all this and was waiting for them at the cemetery early on.

Upon seeing me, Celia turned pale, and she lunged at me like a madwoman.

“It’s you! You killed my dad!”

Antonio quickly grabbed her around the waist.

Maybe he felt guilty about my mom, so he lied, “We’re here to pay our respects…”

I cut him off coldly and then held up all the text messages he had been sending me non–stop these past few days, right in front of Celia.

“Grace, give me some more time. Once Celia is doing better, I’ll break it off with her.”

“The only person I’ve ever really loved is you. Please, don’t give up on me.”

Celia only read two of the messages, and then she turned her head, glaring at Antonio with tears in her eyes.

But pretty soon, the anger in her eyes went away, and she hugged Antonio’s waist tight.

“It’s OK, Antonio. As long as you stay with me, I don’t care about anything else.”

Antonio’s face showed he felt bad about it. His hand, which was about to push Celia away, stopped in the middle of the motion. He looked at me, all hesitant.

I didn’t even spare him a glance and walked straight up to Celia.

Afraid that I might do something, Antonio quickly stepped in front of Celia to block my way.

I smiled, “Antonio, you want to bury my dad next to Celia’s mom, right? When you die, how are you going to face my mom with that on your conscience?”

Then I looked at Celia and said, “This loser is all yours now!”

After that, I walked away from the cemetery, not looking back

even once.

Maybe it was the last bit of decency Antonio had left, but he ended up talking Celia out of it and didn’t let her bury Melvin next to her mom.

Before Melvin killed himself, he made a will, leaving 80% of his money to me and the rest to Celia.

He did this not out of guilt, but as a way to get me to give up on avenging Celia.

But I had to say, his money was really dirty.

I only kept the companies that my mom used to run and sold everything else for cash, giving it all to charity.

I wanted to get back at Celia, but I changed my mind pretty fast.
