The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio)

Chapter 3 Young Antonio

My parents passed away in a plane crash.

Overnight, I became an orphan.

My relatives from the Parrish family started fighting over the money, and everyone turned against each other.

After the funeral, I took the warm milk my aunt gave me in the car. The next thing I knew, I was waking up on a hotel bed.

The bathroom faucet was running loudly.

Feeling weak all over, I struggled to get away, but I ended up falling to the floor.

A big-bellied, greasy man came out of the bathroom, grabbed me, and threw me onto the bed.

"Not everyone gets to have the Parrish family's girl. I heard you're still a virgin."

As he talked, he took off his bathrobe, showing something gross, and lunged at

me.

I was terrified out of my wits. There was no way I could fight back. All I felt was total hopelessness.

Thankfully, Antonio kicked the door open as the man was about to tear my clothes off.

My eyes lit up.
