The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio)

Chapter273

When I received my cancer diagnosis, I began planning for my mom's future.

My brother, Remy, wouldn't care for her.

So, instead of using the money for treatment, I gave it to Laura, hoping she could hire help when she was older.

She, however, saw my gesture as nothing more than a performance.

The party ended, and Remy wanted to leave, but Laura refused.

She was waiting for my monthly allowance: $10,000.

Her friends, overhearing this, tried calling me, but couldn't get through.

Laura flew into a rage, flipping a table. "I told her to marry Antonio, and she resisted. Now she's living comfortably and abandoning Remy and me."

Her words brought it all back.

She had forced me to marry Antonio, a murderer.

He had served time for killing his ex-girlfriend and ex-wife, but his wealthy family secured his release.

Laura was a paradox. She claimed to love me, yet I was always the one giving.

Remy always came first.

Then, Antonio arrived at the party.

"Antonio, what are you doing here?" Laura asked, her eyes lighting up with anticipation of a gift.

"Grace said she wouldn't give you your allowance. I thought that was wrong, so I brought it without her knowing."

Laura embraced him. "I knew you were more family than she is."

Antonio smiled warmly.
