The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio)

Chapter301

I had put down roots in a tiny country.

Life here in this country moved at a relaxed pace.

I slept in until I woke up on my own. Then I headed out for some grocery

shopping, and after that, I cooked a meal at home.

After meals, I was all about sketching design ideas or diving into whatever caught my fancy.

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.

Then there was the whole Antonio and Tyler thing. They were really out for blood, trying to ruin Michelle and her mom.
