Chapter 78

Grace's POV

17 288 Wouchers

My fiance, who I will marry in a few weeks, is with another

woman.

While I'm right here, trying to weave through my asthma attack, he's right there dancing with her.

His eyes are glued to her, failing to spare me a single glance, even though my chest is heaving up and down and I can barely breathe.

I've been in love with Antonio for eight years now. And for a while it felt like he was in love with me. But everything changed when that woman showed up.

Now, it seems like I barely exist to him.

Only when their dance is finished does he go back to me. But even then, he just leaves to go home with me. I get in the car, and once I open the glove box, I find a diamond ring.

"What for?" he asks, but I don't answer him. I just head to the shop in the distance.

A few months ago, I decided to have a wedding dress custom-made for me. But now, I don't think I have any use for it. I just need to have the whole thing canceled and destroyed.

But just as I walk into the shop, Antonio follows me.

He shoves my coat on my face, shouting, "Why do you always leave your stuff, Grace? I'm tired of picking up after you."

Antonio is a neat freak. He doesn't like when I leave some of my stuff in his car.

But I look at the coat he tries to give me, and I notice something. "That's not my coat."

His irritation vanishes at once. He picks it up, his expression now considerably softer than when we started talking.

I know that it's because the coat belongs to Cecilia Smith.

Every time she leaves something in his car, it only leads to a
