Her Place in His Heart by Isabella Reed

Chapter42

I proposed to Antonio Kaufman, my boyfriend of seven years.

But what greeted me was my stepsister, Celia Parrish, holding up her marriage certificate with Antonio.

Apparently, Antonio had been cheating on me. He had given his heart to Celia.

I had lost, completely and utterly.

But I wasn’t about to forgive what they’d done.

“Grace, I have cancer,” Celia sobbed, holding onto my dress. “My last wish is to have a fancy wedding. Could you wait until I’m gone to propose to Antonio?”

“Stop lying,” I said coldly, shaking her off. I was done with their drama.

Antonio glared at me. “She’s your sis. Can’t you be a little more understanding?”

I froze, stunned by his words.

He knew well that Celia’s mom had destroyed my family.

Using her pregnancy, her mom forced my dad to get a divorce.

And there Antonio was, backing up Celia.

Rage surged through me, my eyes blazing.
