The woman in the snapshot, from her bridal gown to her makeup, looked just like Grace, who he'd seen not long
ago.
Antonio’s face dropped the cool act the second he saw the photo.
He grabbed the phone and flipped through the photos.
When he saw the kissing one, his head almost blew a fuse. A panic he’d never felt before surged through him.
His hands trembling, he fumbled for his phone and dialed Grace.
He kept calling, but it went to voicemail every time.
Fury was eating away at his sanity.
The endless beeping made him snap, smashing his phone on the seat. Clenching his teeth, he ordered the driver
to turn around.
His friends were too scared to say anything, until Wade Hunt, with sbravery, spoke up, “N-Antonio, Livia is
waiting for you.”
“Go back!”

His roar sent a chill down the driver's spine. Not bothering with traffic rules, the driver made a quick U-turn and
sped off toward Nelykon.
The sports car roared into the hotel again. Antoran up the stairs, not even waiting for the elevator.
In the lobby, the wedding was done, and they were doing the rounds of
toast.
1956
Grace, in a wedding dress, was with Devin, meeting his family and
friends
They were in the middle of the toast when hotel security cin chasing Antonio, getting everyone's attention
With everyone looking on, Antodidn’t hesitate. He rushed over to Grace, grabbing her wrist and trying to pull
her away.
Grace was taken aback by his return, trying to steady herself and break. free from his grip.
But he was too strong for her. She stumbled and fell to the floor.
Devin was quick to kneel down and help her up. Seeing the red marks on her leg, he couldn't hide his worry.
Once Grace was on her feet again, Antomade another grab for her, but Devin stepped in, standing
protectively in front of her.
His face, usually so friendly, was now cold as a winter's day, his eyes icy as he stared at the intruder.
“Antonio, I'd appreciate it if you'd treat my wife with srespect!”
The word ‘wife’ sparked a flash of rage in Antonio's eyes.
“Your wife? You must be mistaken, Mr. Hudson. Grace works forat the Kaufman Group!”
His statement left everyone in earshot stunned.
They wondered, “So Devin’s secret wife was also Antonio’s assistant?”
Feeling the weight of the curious and malicious glances, Grace took a steadying breath and met Antonio’s gaze
with an untroubled calm.
“Mr. Kaufman, my resignation has been submitted. It’s just a formality
now.”
Antowas well aware of her resignation.
His words were a power play, a bid to assert his control. But her public. defiance was not what he expected, and
it made him furious.

“You resigned, but don’t forget, your mother has served the Kaufman family for thirty years, and you've lived in
the Kaufman's hfor ten. How can you just turn your back like this?”
For the first time, a flicker of amusement crossed Grace's face at his
accusation.
“Mr. Kaufman, this is a business matter, nothing more. You're a man of importance. Why would you be concerned
with someone as insignificant
as me?”
Her words seemed to resonate with the onlookers, who nodded in
agreement.
In Cruxfield, it was no secret that Antoand Livia had a thing going on. It was out of character for him to be
involved with an assistant.
With just a few casual remarks, Grace managed to distance herself from him. Antonio's gaze turned colder, and
he shot Devin a sidelong glance.
“You, as a servant's daughter, are not in the league of the Kaufman family, but can you really reach the Hudson
family’s high standing? You should know your place!”
