Chapter 50
Antonio examined Grace’s photo, refusing to believe that she was married to someone else. He told himself she must have doctored the image to make him stop looking for her. He had to find her and apologize.
Keyla had learned about Grace’s departure from Laney yesterday. With Grace out of the way, she believed she could finally be with Antonio. Early in the morning, she came to see him.
“Antonio, why did you leave in such a rush yesterday? I called you, but you didn’t answer.”
Laney had told Antonio yesterday that it was Keyla who had followed her on Instagram first. Keyla claimed that she and Antonio had once been at couple, but Grace had broken them up. Laney had always disliked Grace, and hearing how Grace had ruined her brother’s happiness only fueled that hatred. So, she had decided to help Keyla get rid of Grace and reunite her brother with Keyla. However, everything Keyla had said turned out to
be a lie.
Antonio studied Keyla carefully. In his memòries, she had always been pure and kind, not the kind of person who would hurt others. But he also knew Laney wasn’t a liar. Everything he’d learned yesterday told him that Keyla might not be who he thought she was.
“Now that Grace is gone, you must be happy, right?”
Keyla’s smile froze on her face. Why would Antonio say that? She feigned hurt, her eyes misty.
“Antonio, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that I have something to do with Grace’s leaving?”

apologize, but to confess his feelings. Antonio imagined how surprised she would be if she knew he loved her too. Once he told her he loved her, she would surely forgive him.
Antonio checked for flights, trains, and buses, but he found nothing that could lead him to Grace. She seemed to have vanished.
It wasn’t until the early hours of the morning that Antonio returned home. The house felt eerily empty. He missed the days when Grace would keep the light on and bring him a cup of tea no matter how late he came home. Now, the house was dark and silent, and he was all alone.
Grace hadn’t had a good night’s sleep in a long time. It took her a moment to realize she was in Shane’s villa. They were married now.
“Grace, breakfast is ready.”
The bedroom door opened, and Shane’s smiling face came into sight. Grace’s heart warmed, and she realized it had been years since anyone had made breakfast for her.
The table was laid with her favorite food, something her grandmother used to cook every day. Grace hadn’t had this in three years, as she had to go with the Kaufman siblings‘ food preferences.
She watched Shane pull up a chair for her. Everything felt just like the old days.
She lowered her head and smiled. Maybe Shane wasn’t such a bad choice
after all.
