The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio)

Chapter 5 The Route

Helena had a few tricks up her sleeve.

With those sneaky moves of hers, she managed to keep Antonio around until evening again.

I was leaning against the headboard, telling the kids their bedtime story, when my phone vibrated with a new message.

"Mommy, your phone is ringing." My elder son Rory handed me the phone.

"It's not important." I glanced at the screen and flipped the phone face-down on the bed. "Let's keep going with The Little Mermaid. If you were the prince, would you choose the princess from the neighboring kingdom or the mermaid princess?"

I chatted with the kids for a while.

After they fell asleep, I turned on my phone.

It was a selfie from Helena.

Antonio was lying in bed, his handsome face relaxed in sleep, the blanket pulled up to his chest, revealing his shoulders and

pecs.

There were clear hickeys and scratch marks on his skin.

Helena, also topless, was lying on Antonio's arm, facing the camera, and gave a smug pose.
