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.

Tyler put it all out there online, saying Michelle's big award was a sham, that she stole it from me, and he had all the proof to back it up.
