Chapter19
“Because just the thought of you fooling around with another woman with my name on your body makes me sick!”
Grace nearly blurted it out.
But with only three days left, she couldn’t afford to jeopardize
everything now.
So, Grace suppressed her disgust and said, “I had it removed to
get a new one.”
She added, “I was planning to give you a surprise.”
“Is that so?”
Antonio should have been relieved.
But for some reason, he felt a lingering unease.
It felt as though he was about to lose her…
Grace took the opportunity to stand up and put some distance between them.
“Do you remember this hourglass? I found it while cleaning
today.”

“Mm, back then, you were reading a novel about the desert and
felt so melancholic.” Recalling the past, Antonio couldn’t help.
but smile. “So I took you to the real dessert and collected this
sand.”
Grace asked, “So, does your heart still feel the same as before?”
Without thinking, Antonio quickly replied, “Yes, just like before.
It’s never changed!”
Grace allowed him to kiss the back of her hand, gazed at him.
intently, then smiled faintly.
That smile succeeded in dispelling the worry in Antonio’s eyes.
He froze for a moment.
Today, Grace seemed unusually cheerful and talkative.
As long as she was happy, he was happy.
Antonio glanced at the prominent wedding photo again and told
himself that he probably was just overthinking.
With that thought, his furrowed brow relaxed.
Three days passed, and the day of departure finally arrived.
Antonio had promised to accompany Grace, but just before they

left, Mylie called him away.
Mylie knew what day it was and still summoned Antonio,
intentionally provoking Grace.
Little did Mylie know this was exactly what Grace wanted.
In the afternoon, Mylie sent Grace another message.
It was a picture of them shopping for baby supplies together.
Instead of staying silent, Grace called her this time.
Mylie, who had been excitedly picking out baby clothes, glanced
down at the incoming call and froze.
For days, Grace hadn’t shown any reaction to her provocations.
Why was Grace suddenly calling her??
Mylie frowned, glanced at Antonio, who was sitting on the couch
flipping through a magazine, and walked to a distant corner to
answer.
She heard Grace’s cold voice.
“Mylie, why do you have to push me? I’ll haunt you even in
death!”
Mylie’s expression immediately changed. “Grace, are you trying

to scare me?!”
The next second, a loud crashing sound came through, startling
Mylie.
Meanwhile, Grace watched the distant flames rising into the sky,
slammed her phone down onto the ground, and put on her
sunglasses.
The professionals would deal with the rest.
In the helicopter, Grace looked back at the city she had lived in
for decades.
Goodbye, Antonio.
Goodbye, Astonburg.
From today on, Grace was dead.
She would embrace her new life as her twin sister, Alison
Parrish.
