The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio)

To repay the favor, I went out with the doctor from the hospital.

We watched the sunrise I had missed before, hiked, had a picnic, shared a meal, and enjoyed some drinks together.

He was a fantastic companion, offering the emotional support I so desperately needed.

I felt so much better now.

That day, the doctor dropped me off at my doorstep.

The moment I stepped out of the car, I froze.

Antonio and Sabrina were there, scrutinizing me, while his mother glared at me with disdain.

"Grace, have you no shame? You called the cops on us, got Sabrina and I locked up, just so you could go out with another guy!" Antonio snapped, grabbing my collar.

Sabrina, supporting his mother, walked up to me. His mother sneered. "Let's talk inside. Others don't need to see this."
