I proposed to Antonio Kaulinan , my boyfriend of seven years .
But what greeted me was my stepsister , Celia Parrish , holding up her marriage certificate with Antonio .
Apparently .
Antonio had been cheating on me .
He had given his heart to Celia .
I had lost , completely and utterly .
But I wasnt about to forgive what theyd done .
Grace .
I have cancer , Celia sobbed , holding onto my dress .
My last wish is to have a fancy wedding .
Could you wait until Im gone to propose to Antonio ? Stop lying .
I said coldly , shaking her off .
I was done with their drama .
Antonio glared at me .
Shes your sis .
Cant you be a little more understanding ? I froze , stunned by his words .
He knew well that Celias mom had destroyed my family .
Using g her pregnancy , her mom forced my dad to get a divorce .
And there Antonio was , backing up Celia .
Rage surged through me , my eyes blazing .
Antonio didnt notice and continued , Thats between your parents .
It has nothing to do with Celia .
Can you stop taking it out on her ? Chapter 15 The man I thought I knew felt like a stranger .
Not long ago , we went to visit my mothers grave together , and he had driven Celia away when she showed up uninvited .
But looking back .

I realized he was trying to protect her .
Celia looked at Antonio with gratitude , her tears streaming down as she held out the marriage certificate for me to see .
Im not as great as Grace .
Antonio is the only one whod marry me .
If I tear this up , will it make you feel better ? Before she could finish , Antonio snatched the certificate from her hands .
He clutched it like it was precious .
Celia .
dont say things like that .
Im gonna make this right .
Ill make sure everything is perfect for you the marriage , the wedding , everything .
Then he turned to me , his face cold .
This is just temporary .
Celia doesnt have much time left .
When its over , Ill come back to you .
Seeing him protect both Celia and that marriage certificate , I couldnt believe a word he said .
The curious looks from the crowd felt like needles , making me feel more like a clown than a bride .
Before I could respond , Celia sobbed louder and stepped between me and Antonio .
Grace , I never want to mess up your relationship .
Everything was my idea .
If youre angry , take it out on me , she said .
Watching Celia keep up her act , I couldnt help but laugh .
15400 So , your moms a homewrecker , and youve learned a lot from her .
Bitch , you deserve your illness .
I let all my anger out on her .
The slap came out of nowhere , leaving my cheek stinging .
I looked at Antonio in disbelief .
He used to say his biggest dream was to marry me and be by my side forever , but now he hit me for the woman I hated most .
All my love and hope for him disappeared at that moment .
My friends couldnt hold back any longer .
They rushed over , surrounding Antonio and Celia .
Seven years of Graces life wasted on a jerk like you ! And now youre marrying the daughter of a homewrecker ? one of them shouted .
Antonio pulled Celia close , afraid that someone might hurt her .
It was laughable .
What a joke my proposal had become .
I looked down at my wedding dress .
The whole thing felt meaningless .
Antonio had sworn hed always be with me .
When did he start siding with Celia ? I motioned for my friends to hold off and asked the question that had been haunting me .
Antonio kept shielding Celia , sneering , Grace , you were just a kid when your mom died .
Do you think you know the whole story ? Youve let hate blind you .
Leave me out of it .
