I Don’t Need Your Fake Love by Melandia

Chapter 117

After returning to Cruxfield, Antonio locked himself in the Kaufman’s villa, going nowhere and seeing no one.

Every day upon waking, he would have someone deliver several crates of alcohol to the room Grace used to live in, and he would drink himself into

a stupor.

Each time he drank, his stomach would be wracked with convulsive pain. He would then take some medicine along with the alcohol and continue to drink himself senseless.

After half a month of such self–harm, his body could no longer withstand it, and he was taken to hospital after vomiting blood.
