The Man Who Broke Me (Grace and Antonio) novel Chapter 32

Chapter32

Grace’s heart skipped a beat.

She had guessed that Antonio was going to meet Mylie.

But she hadn’t expected him to be so bold as to arrange for Mylie to stay right next door!

On the screen, Mylie ran barefoot toward the door, throwing herself into the visitor’s arms. “Honey!”

The camera angle only showed his ankles.

Yet, Grace instantly recognized the visitor as Antonio, the very same man who had claimed he loved her five minutes ago.

The live stream chat was flooded with comments,

“Wow, so Mylie wasn’t kidding. She does have a rich boyfriend!”

“So the 160,000 dollars she got as a Valentine’s Day gift is real?!”

“No wonder she’s been spotted splurging in malls and getting chauffeured in luxury cars…”

“That explains why she became famous so quickly!”

“Every couple is outdoing the last one on this Valentine’s Day. I’m so jealous!”

On screen, the man let out a laugh, his voice husky.

“Why didn’t you accept the money I gave you? Do you think it’s not enough?”

Mylie giggled sweetly, “I don’t want your money. I just want you to be here with mel

She added, “I even got you a gift. You can unwrap it yourself…”

Mylie led the man into the room, and they disappeared from view.

The chat went wild with excitement.

Grace felt as if her heart was bleeding.

Just then, a ringtone shattered the silence.

When she answered, no one spoke.

Only a few soft, almost imperceptible breaths came through.

Grace clutched the phone, her knuckles turning white. “Antonio,” she said in a shaky voice.

All the noise on the other end vanished, replaced by Antonio’s shallow breathing.

“Honey, it’s me.

“It’s nothing. I just missed you.”

His voice was calm, laced with affection.

What a smooth liar.

Grace closed her eyes, a tear rolling down her cheek.

When the call ended, the man and woman appeared again in the livestream.

Mylie apologized in a sweet and pitiful voice, “I’m sorry. I accidentally pressed the button.

“Don’t be angry. I will accept any punishment, okay?”

“I’ll punish you right now then.”

With a shriek, Mylie was swept off her feet, and they disappeared from view again.

Grace’s eyelashes fluttered, and tears fell silently.

***

The next day, at an auction.

It seemed Antonio was trying to make up for his absence the night before, as he bid on a dozen priceless treasures for Grace.

Including the showstopper, a sapphire pendant called Endless Blue.

After dozens of intense bidding rounds, Grace felt exhausted and said, “Forget it.”

But Antonio’s eyes glinted with determination.

“Grace, if I want to give you something, no one can snatch it away.”

Grace didn’t respond.
