The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio)

The Lies He Told Me 154

Antonio didn't call me again until I got back to New York after the surgery. He seemed to think I said that in a fit of pique..

He sent several posts on Instagram, featuring he took Roxanne to try on wedding dresses, take wedding photos, and even choose gifts.

I ignored all his posts, went back to the station, and applied to the geological survey research team that was going to shoot a documentary on Antarctica.

Also, I reported to the news channel the documents that the village chief had slipped into my bag when he took me to the hospital that day.

When I learned the truth about the tornado, the last trace of my love for Antonio was replaced by disgust.

After all this, I went back to the small apartment I had lived in after graduation.

I packed up all the cheap, crappy gifts Antonio had given me over the past fifteen years.

Then I sent them to the wedding along with the divorce papers and a DVD containing the information about the school for Internet addiction I had researched over the years.

Levi was very young when he was sent to that school. Suffering from PTSD from being tortured, he had forgotten everything.

Over the years, I didn't bring anything up as I didn't want him to relive the pain.

Yet now as I thought about it, maybe I was wrong.

Before boarding, I blocked all Antonio and Levi's contact information. Then I pulled out the SIM card, broke it, and threw it in the trash.

From now on, I had nothing to do with these jerks.

At the wedding, Antonio felt uneasy for some reason.

He figured it was probably because of Roxanne's condition.

She had terminal lung cancer.

It suffocated him to think such a harmless, sweet girl would die soon.
