The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio)

The Lies He Told Me 152

I didn't want anything from them, neither Antonio nor the baby. I didn't want anything from my family either.

By the time I got back to the city from the clinic, it was late at night. I made a mental note to try to abort again when I got back home.

I booked into a random hotel, washed up, cried for a while, and fell asleep in a daze.

In the early hours, the rapid ringing of the phone woke me up.

My boss at the TV station was calling, sounding both frantic and hyped, "Grace. I heard there was a tornado at that castle you were at yesterday. Glad to hear you are alive. Now go and report it!"

He hung up before I could even respond.

I did work for a very important news channel, and they were aware of the wedding preparations I had.

They even knew it was going to be held in this famous castle that I always dreamed about. That was why my boss knew where I was.

A tornado? At the castle? I couldn't really believe that, but I would have to check their social media to see what went on

With a sigh, I got out of bed and turned on my phone. I didn't see much going on, and sadly not even one message from Antonio.

Then I checked Facebook. It was strangely uneventful, not even a post from my parents

That was when I saw Roxanne's latest post on Instagram-

a picture of her hand intertwined with Antonio's.

On their ring fingers were matching rings.

Seeing the pale scar on the back of Antonio's hand made my heart ache again.
