Divorcing my billionaire husband (Antonio and Grace) novel Chapter 1

Chapter 1

In my previous life, my husband Antonio Kaufman framed me for infidelity to legitimize his affair.

After being reborn, I signed the divorce papers without hesitation.

Antonio’s lover was exposed.

Not wanting her to be labeled as the homewrecker, he begged me while holding the divorce papers in his hand.

“Milton gave his life to save me. Sienna is his only sister, I couldn’t possibly turn my back on her when she needed help. You understand, don’t you, Grace?”

Back then, Antonio’s car was sabotaged by his rival in business. When the car was getting out of control, Milton Padilla threw himself towards the driver’s seat and turned the steering wheel to avoid danger, totally putting away his own safety.

Antonio emerged unscathed, but Milton was injured severely. On his deathbed, he entrusted Antonio with his sister, Sienna

Padilla.

During these years, Antonio had taken care of Sienna because he felt he owed Milton.

In my previous life, when I found out Antonio was about to sacrifice me for Sienna’s sake, I lost it and tore the divorce papers into pieces.

After I was diagnosed with stomach cancer, I had a change of mind. I decided to let go of both Antonio and me.

But then Sienna said, “Grace, why did you change your mind all of a sudden? Is this your new trick, trying to torture Antonio?”

Affected by her words, Antonio was certain that I was pretending to be sick and even felt that I was playing hard to get. To get rid of the pressure of public opinion, he framed me for cheating on him and filed for divorce.

Consumed by despair, I took my own life.

“Grace, we’ll tell everyone that we’ve been planning on getting a divorce since a year ago. It was only delayed due to some personal matters.”

Antonio’s voice broke through my daze as I stared blankly at the glass of water in front of me.

The day before, the paparazzi posted evidence, which immediately labeled Sienna as “Antonio’s alleged lover“.

Since everyone knew Antonio was married, netizens slammed Sienna, calling her the homewrecker.

Meanwhile, Antonio, the CEO of the Kaufman Group, was slammed for being unfaithful to his wife, and the company’s stock price took a nosedive overnight.

In my previous life, when the scandal first erupted, I had laughed at how misleading the rumors were, and how easily the public was fooled by some baseless photos.

But when Antonio handed me the divorce papers, my smile froze. It was then replaced by bitter irony.

I questioned him about his relationship with Sienna hysterically.

If it was indeed groundless rumors, he could have had millions of ways to make them go away, but he chose to sacrifice me.

“Grace?” Antonio’s voice snapped me back to reality.

“Trust me, Grace. This is only temporary. Once the storm passes, we’ll get back together.”

I looked up slowly, my gaze falling on the document on the desk.

“Grace, this isn’t what I want either. You do get it, right? After this thing ends, I promise I’ll make it up to you, OK?”

He held me from the side, looking at me affectionately. His tone was so gentle as he coaxed me.

I remained silent.

Sienna, who was standing on his other side, looked pitiful with a ghastly pale face, her eyes brimming with tears. “Grace, please. Help me, OK?

“Now that Milton is gone, I have no relatives left. I really don’t know who to turn to. Please, Grace.”

With that, she was about to bow to me. Seeing this, Antonio immediately held her by the waist and pulled her into his

arms.

“What are you doing?”
