Chapter 229

Antonio remembered that back then, whenever he brought me along, everyone was green with envy over his awesome secretary. Unfortunately, all of that was ruined that night.

After that reckless night, everything changed.

Antonio still didn't get why I would go to such lengths to degrade myself and scheme my way into his bed.

All he knew was that when he woke up that morning and found me next to him, all the admiration he had for me turned into hatred.

The more he used to think I was great, the more he ended up hating me.

So even though we had to marry because of Ivan, he still couldn't make peace with me.

He even deliberately chose Molly, who was the total opposite of me, as a way to thumb his nose at the whole marriage thing.

But now, with Molly getting more and more out of line, Antonio wast starting to feel fed up.

Antonio's heart pounded as he pictured me and Ivan walking away with such determination.

Maybe it was time for him to stop acting so childish.

Maybe I had changed after all these years.

Maybe...

He hadn't seen me all day and was kind of lost in thought while holding a glass of wine.

"Am I being too much this time?"

That thought suddenly through his mind.
