Divorcing my billionaire husband (Antonio and Grace)

Chapter 56

Ten years. Ten years we'd been together, and finally, my boyfriend had proposed.

I had envisioned a future filled with joy, a future shattered the moment I saw him

- my Antonio Kaufman — embracing Stella Parrish, his first lolve, in the very home we were to share.

"I'll always love you. If you say yes, I'll marry you right away," Antonio whispered to Stella.

The agony was a physical blow.

His betrayal wasn't a recent event; it stretched back years.

Despair, raw and suffocating, consumed me.

I had to end this.

Inside, their fervent kiss echoed, each sound a chilling hammer blow to my heart.

I flung Antonio's engagement ring into the trash and dialed my mother's international number.

"Mom," I choked out, biting my lip to stifle the tremor in my voice, "Antonio cheated on me. I'm not marrying him."

My mother's voice was bright with something that sounded suspiciously like relief. "I'll book your ticket right away. You know I've always wanted you close."
