The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio) novel Chapter 305

Chapter305

My ticket got messed up right before I was supposed to board, and I was stuck on the ground.

I didn't sweat it.

I knew Antonio wouldn't let me go without a hitch.

I sent Linda and the gang on their way and told them I'd sort it out.

With my suitcase in tow, I scanned the busy airport and spotted Antonio easily.

It was a chilly spring day, and he was noticeable in his dark grey coat, tall and upright, sticking out from the crowd.

He looked at me with eager eyes.

I beckoned him over with a crook of my finger.

He came over with a smile. "Grace."

“Antonio, you messed with my ticket,” I said straight, no denying it.

He owned up to it without hesitation. “I had to. I can't just let you leave."

I gave him a cold stare. "Do you have a clue why I’m out of here?

“You and Tyler are history to me.

“Because to me, you guys are less important than strangers.”

Antonio started to panic. "Grace, I knew I messed up. I'll make it right. I promise. Just say you'll give me a shot, okay?"

His voice was low, not the strong, confident tone I remembered.

I shook my head. "No, you weren't under Michelle's spell. You just figured I was so into you and I could never walk away.

"Good thing you were cold enough to keep me up at night, hurting so much until I finally got over you."

The color faded from Antonio's face, and his eyes were bloodshot.
