Chapter286 My boyfriend, AntoKaufman, and my brother, Tyler Parrish, were both smitten with Michelle Conner, the new girl in town.

Antoabruptly ended our engagement, coldly stating, "I haven't had feelings for you for a long time, Grace.." Tyler, disregarding our mom's dying wishes that he look after me, dismissed my concerns with, "Michelle has such a hard life, and now she's like family.

You get that, right?" On my birthday, Antochose to be with Michelle, leavingalone.

On the anniversary of our mom's death, Tyler was celebrating with Michelle and her mom, oblivious to my grief. When they were off to Abalind for Michelle's design award, I set fire to our childhood home, a repository of shared memories.

The school was abuzz with rumors of my suicide.

They wept over my photo, expressing remorse for abandoning me, but it was far too late.

aKK "We're engaged, remember?" I reminded Antoat a party, hoping to jolt his memory, to reclaim ssemblance of our past.

The room fell silent, everyone anticipating his response.

He looked annoying. "Our engagement was arranged by our parents. It wasn't my choice." I pressed, my voice barely a whisper. "Then why did you agree to it?" I glanced at Antolounging on the couch, his shirt unbuttoned, revealing a scattering of hickeys.

A wave of nausea washed over me.

It was clear he had given his heart to someone else.

"I didn't understand what love was until now," he admitted, his gaze icy.

My breath hitched, a hollow ache spreading through my chest.

Antosighed, his irritation palpable. "Grace, we're adults. I have the right to choose who I want to be with. Let's not dwell on the past." Stunned into silence, I felt a strange sense of detachment, as if watching my own life unfold from a distance.

He'd made it easy to let go.

The door swung open, and Michelle entered, dressed in a waitress uniform, carrying a tray.

She flinched when she saw me. "I'm sorry. Wrong room." Instead of leaving, She looked at Antonio, tears welling in her eyes.

"I'll cfind you tomorrow," she whispered, her voice trembling.

She set the tray down and turned to go.

Suddenly, Antokicked the coffee table in front of him.

Wine glasses shattered, spraying shards of glass across the room.

A sharp pain shot through my arm as a piece of glass sliced into my skin.

Blood welled up.
