The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio)

Chapter 224

My

boss Antonio Kaufman and I had been married for six years, a secret hidden from everyone, including our son Ivan.

He'd never acknowledged our relationship publicly, and Ivan wasn't allowed to call him "Dad."

After Antonio missed yet another Ivan's birthday for his mistress, I decided on divorce.

I would leave the city with my son.

"Mr. Preston, I'll be next month to study abroad. Here's my resignation." I told my manager.

Trent Preston looked surprised. "Why?"

I lied. "My husband's in Esnaria, and I'm moving there with my son."

He sighed. "I see no grounds to stop you."

As I left his office, I saw Antonio and Molly Nash walking towards me.
