Broken Vows by Tessa Montgomery

Chapter74

After countless sleepless nights, surprisingly caught some solid z’s on the flight.

In my dreams, Antonio’s face kept showing up, like he was just waiting for me there.

Back when we were just seven, we used to play games together.

He’d tell me he was the groom, and I was the prettiest bride.

When we turned eighteen, we made that game real.

He vowed to hustle hard and give me a grand wedding.

But when did things start to fall apart between us?

Did it start after Stella showed up, or was it before that?

I couldn’t even remember it anymore.

Antonio had been the center of my world for as long as I could remember.

No matter how much I tried to stay cool and get over him, it felt like my insides were being torn apart.

Once I landed, I didn’t even have the guts to turn on my phone.

‘Grace!”

My mom was waving at me, standing out in a sea of foreigners.
