The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio)

Chapter301

Life here in this country moved at a relaxed pace.

When I had some downtime, I took a stroll, letting my thoughts drift away, just enjoying the peace and quiet.

Every now and then, bits of news from my old life filtered through.

There was even a time when they reported I was dead.
