Chapter16 On her last night at the Kaufmans residence , Grace returned late .
She had met with Keyla at Keylas request .
How did you get my number ? Keyla smirked .
Laney gave it to me , of course .
Grace wasnt surprised .
Those two had always been close .
Just get to the point .
I havent got all day .
Keyla scoffed .
Its not like you have anything to do besides babysitting Laney .
I hear Antonio has never touched you in the past three years .
What are you still holding on to ? Under the table , Grace clenched her fists so hard that her nails dug into her flesh .
The humiliation burned deep .
Indeed , Antonio had never touched her , except that drunken night when he had kept calling out Keylas name .
The pain in her heart that night had been far worse than the physical pain .
Yet somehow , she had gotten pregnant because of that night .
For a time , the child had made her reconsider leaving .
But in the end , Antonio would never belong to her .
Let me be honest with you .
Everything Laney did to you was my idea .
How does that feel ? You spent three years taking care of that girl , but shes sick of you .
Antonio is grateful for 0.00 % < Chaptert what youve done for his family , which is why he doesnt have the heart to tell you to leave .
But Grace , do you really want to be with someone who doesnt love you ? Whats the point of it ? Grace struggled hard to stay calm as she responded .
Keyla , you and Laney got what you wanted .
Ill leave .
Grace stood up .

She hadnt lost to Keyla or Laney , but she had lost to herself .
Shed thought she could win Antonio over as long as she tried hard enough , but she failed .
When Grace got home , Antonio was waiting at the door .
Why are you back so late ? Grace was usually the one waiting at home .
This was the first time that Antonio had waited for her to come home , but it was also the last .
I was meeting with a friend .
Why was your phone off ? Dont you know my brother is waiting for you to eat ? Im starving .
Laney grumbled as she started to gobble up the food that had been reheated three times .
Grace only then realized her phone had died .
Sorry , the battery ran out .
Come eat .
Antonio rarely cooked , but when he did , it was always O O O Chapter 16 delicious .
Grace had no appetite , but to avoid suspicion , she forced herself to sit down .
This would be her last meal with the Kaufman family .
After dinner , Laney went straight to her room .
Antonio was quiet .
He opened his mouth several times but couldnt bring himself to break up with Grace .
In the end , Grace broke the silence .
Antonio , lets break up .
It was a breakup , not a divorce .
Because they were not legally married .
It had only ever been a one sided love .
The dream had ended , and it was time to wake up .
Antonios hands froze as he cleared the table .
The forks and spoons slipped from his grip , falling to the floor .
He crouched down to pick them up , but for a long time , he didnt stand .
Grace grabbed a broom and quickly cleaned up the mess .
After tidying the table , she turned back to Antonio .
He was just as handsome as always.
His eyelashes were longer than hers , and when he smiled , there were faint dimples in his cheeks .
But he rarely smiled at her .
When he did , there was always a trace of distance in his eyes .
And yet , despite everything , she had been crazy about him .
I know you dont love me , so Im letting you go .
She smiled at him , but the smile no longer carried its usual passion .
Antonio stared at Grace .
He knew this smart girl would have figured it out by now .
He had racked his brain to come up with a proper way to break up with her , but she just did it with ease .
Grace , Im sorry .
Grace waved it off with a smile .
Antonio had never promisec < Chapter 16 her anything , so there was nothing to apologize for .
Actually , Im grateful for these past three years .
Its not your fault .
You just dont love me .
Tears welled up in Graces eyes , eventually streaming down her face .
Still , she kept a smile on her face , telling herself that this would be the last time she cried for Antonio , 0
