Chapter15 The next morning , Grace went to school with Laney as usual .
Grace , did you hear ? My brother asked Keyla to be his date .
for the companys anniversary celebration tomorrow .
The message is pretty clear , dont you think ? Laney never liked Grace .
Besides finding Grace too nosy, she could see her brother didnt love Grace .
If you have any self respect , you should let him go .
He belongs to Keyla .
When Antonio wasnt around , Laney always spoke to Grace in a disrespectful tone .
Grace was already used to it .
Laney , Im leaving soon .
Until then , dont push your luck .
Laney had never seen Grace lose her temper before .
No one besides her brother had ever dared to talk to her that way.
She was angry , but something told her that it was better not to piss Grace now .
You better mean it .

The first thing Grace did upon arriving at school was submit her resignation .
She gave away all her books to colleagues , taking only a few personal items .
Out of the campus , Grace exhaled deeply .
If not for Antonio , she never would have forced herself into a job she didnt even like .
Luckily , it had only been not a lifetime .
2 years D DON Chapter15 On her way home , Grace took a detour past Antonios company .
She was well educated in finance , yet she had trapped herself at home for three years .
Antonio had no ideal that her dream was to work in a towering office building like this .
Antonio , how do I look in this dress ? I dont want to embarrass you at tomorrows celebration .
You wont .
You look good in anything .
Just as Grace made her way outside , she overheard the conversation behind her .
Without looking back , she quickened her pace .
But Antonio noticed her .
Grace , what are you doing here ? Antonio jogged to catch up .
Maybe it was just his imagination , but it felt like Grace had been avoiding him lately .
Not that he was eager to see her , but this sudden shift unsettled him .
Arent you supposed to be at school with Laney ? Keyla walked over as well .
Grace could see the fury in her eyes , though Keyla kept a sweet smile on her face .
Grace , Antonio and I are going to pick out our outfits for tomorrow .
Would you care to join us ? Grace glanced at Antonio .
Every year , the company held an anniversary celebration , and not once had he ever brought her as his date .
Ill pass .
I have something important to do tomorrow .
Antonio , who had been looking awkward just moments ago , suddenly tensed up .
Grace , whats this important thing ? If you want to come , you can pick something with us- I wont be attending .
Antonio , I wish you both the best .
Grace smiled and walked away briskly , no longer wanting to be the third wheel .
Antonio chased after Grace again , ignoring Keylas protests .
Grace , what are you hiding from me ? The more Antonio thought about it , the more agitated he became .
This wasnt like her .
No matter how much he ignored her , she always bounced back .
But today , Grace seemed different .
For the first time , Grace shook off his hand .
She smoothed out the wrinkles in her clothes and then glanced toward Keyla in the distance .
With a smile , she asked , What about you , Antonio ? Are you hiding something from me ? Her heart ached .
No matter how many times Grace had tried to reason with herself , the pain and resentment still surged uncontrollably .
When they had first married , she had longed for love and care like any other girl would .
Antonio had given her nothing but cold indifference .
Antonios face turned red .
He realized Grace might have figured it out .
He wasnt heartless , but he owed Keyla .
Grace , Keyla and I- Enough .
I dont want to hear it .
O < Tears slipped down her face .
Grace used to smile so much , but lately , she had been crying far too often .
I have something to handle .
Goodbye .
Grace didnt want to hear Antonio say it was over between them and that he would marry Keyla .
For the past Grace , it would be too cruel , and for the present Grace , it just didnt matter anymore .
