Her Place in His Heart by Isabella Reed

Chapter49

They wanted to bury Melvin next to Celia’s mom, but | had already anticipated all this and was waiting for them

at the cemetery early on.

Upon seeing me, Celia turned pale, and she lunged atlike a madwoman.

“It’s you! You killed my dad!”

Antoquickly grabbed her around the waist.

Maybe he felt guilty about my mom, so he lied, “We're here to pay our respects...”

| cut him off coldly and then held up all the text messages he had been sendingnon-stop these past few

days, right in front of Celia.

“Grace, givesmore time. Once Celia is doing better, I'll break it off with her.”

“The only person I've ever really loved is you. Please, don’t give up on me.”

Celia only read two of the messages, and then she turned her head, glaring at Antowith tears in her eyes.

But pretty soon, the anger in her eyes went away, and she hugged Antonio’s waist tight.

“It’s OK, Antonio. As long as you stay with me, | don’t care about anything else.”

Antonio’s face showed he felt bad about it. His hand, which was about to push Celia away, stopped in the middle

of the motion. He looked at me, all hesitant.

| didn’t even spare him a glance and walked straight up to

Celia.

Afraid that | might do something, Antoquickly stepped in front of Celia to block my way.

| smiled, “Antonio, you want to bury my dad next to Celia’s mom, right? When you die, how are you going to face

my mom with that on your conscience?”

Then | looked at Celia and said, “This loser is all yours now!”

After that, | walked away from the cemetery, not looking back.

even once.

Maybe it was the last bit of decency Antohad left, but he ended up talking Celia out of it and didn’t let her

bury Melvin next to her mom.

Before Melvin killed himself, he made a will, leaving 80% of his money toand the rest to Celia.

He did this not out of guilt, but as a way to getto give up on avenging Celia.

But | had to say, his money was really dirty.

Antogot swayed by his own desires so easily, and that only showed one thing: what he loved the most was

himself.

So even if Celia managed to overcall the difficulties and end up with him, in the end, she'd just be like a

little smudge of mosquito blood on the wall.

Death was actually the quickest way out. It was living that was the real torture.

After | thought everything through, | decided to go study abroad and forget about the past.

When | left, | only told Janet. She looked like she wantedto stay, but in the end, she just said, “Take care of

yourself.”

She toldthat maybe it was payback, but Celia really had

cancer now.

| smiled a little, and that last bit of grudge in my heart just disappeared.

All the bad stuff was behindnow. The future felt wide

open.

The Side Story of Antonio:

I liked Grace when | was still a kid.

She was like a little sun, all warm and bright, and she just burst into my life and took over my heart.

When our family was going through its hardest time, only Grace and her mom wouldn't give up on us.

They were like angels sent to save us.

At that time, | made a silent promise that I'd be good to them,

no matter what.

But one day, my grandma passed away suddenly, and our whole family went back for the funeral.

| never thought that in just a few days, something big would happen to the Parrish family.

Melvin’s mistress showed up, pregnant, and started making a scene, saying a lot of mean things to his wife.

But | only heard about all this from other people.

When we got back, Grace’s mom had already asked for a divorce and started her trip around the world.

It tooka lot of work to help Grace get over what happened.

| thought I'd be with Grace for good; we'd get married, have kids, and be together forever.

But then Celia cinto the picture.

She toldshe likedmany times. And whenever Grace wasn’t around, she’d stick tolike glue.

At first, | was as cold as ice when it cto her. She was the daughter of that other woman, after all.

But one day, she just stopped clinging to me.

And | felt kind of empty, like something was missing.

From then on, | couldn’t stop myself from paying attention to Celia.

“My mom wanted to leave, but Grace’s mom had all these connections. She found out about my mom’s medical

records and sent people after her. They almost killed my mom!”

| didn’t believe Celia at first, but then she started crying hard and threatened to jump off the building to prove

that she and her mom were innocent.

“Antonio, | don’t want anything; | just want to be with you. Please, don’t pushaway.”
