Chapter 243

“Grace, I know I’m responsible for what happened to your brother. But my mom said that if you’re willing, I can marry you,” said Antonio.

I was floored, seriously doubting my cars that he’d come up with such a ridiculous proposal,

He kept on about it excitedly. “Grace, be my bride. Let bygones be bygones, and we can make this official faster as long as you let go of this issue. Your brother would’ve wanted this, right? It’s like granting his dying wish.”

I was seething. Their thinking was just too far–fetched.

I wasn’t the same Grace they could twist around their fingers.

I gave him a look that could freeze water.

“Do I owe you a thank you for playing the considerate guy? Antonio, you make me sick.”

Antonio’s face fell. He was taken aback by my refusal, considering the strong feelings I once had for him.

“Grace, let’s not dwell on the past. I know I screwed up, but cut me some slack to fix things. No one’s perfect, and you can’t just write me off without a second chance,” he said.

With them watching, I tore the check into pieces. Gina was furious, shoving me in her rage.

“Grace, get over yourself. You’re threatening to tie the knot with Antonio? Take a good look in the mirror. You against us? Be serious.”

“Grace, we’re giving you this offer because of Antonio.”

“Yeah, grab the cash and back off. The idea of you marrying Antonio? Not happening.

They all jumped on the chance to lecture me their tones heavy with commands.

I had always kept my mouth shut and did whatever they said My constant obedience let them get into the habit of bossing me around.

“Is that right? We’ll see about that. Keep your guy on a short leash, and make sure he stays away from me.”
