The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio)

Chapter 248

Antonio saw Mollie and me looking happy, and it just made him madder. "What are you grinning about?" he yelled.

He clutched Mollie's shirt, threatening, "Spit it out. Who's the guy?"

Antonio bellowed at me, "Did you hand Mollie over to that jerk too?"

A mind full of garbage saw trash everywhere.

Back then, Antonio was with Caroline. She snapped some private pictures of me with another man and then showed them to Antonio to push for a divorce.

Antonio lapped up every word Caroline fed him, and the very next day after we split, he tied the knot with her.

I didn't bother to answer Antonio.

He was convinced he had it all figured out.

His breaths came out ragged, and he let loose with a few slaps on Mollie.
