He lovedforever?
| stared at the drones in the sky, lost in thought.
Meanwhile, Antostrode toward me.
“Grace, what happened yesterday is all my fault.”
Under the colorful neon lights, amidst the crowd, his voice was utterly tender. “But you have to believe me. Even
though Kyla was the one who saved my life, you're the one I love. So, there's no need for you to lie.”
| suddenly felt like crying.
Make no mistake-l wasn’t moved. It was because of what he
said.
Together with my parents and Naomi, he treatedunfairly, and at the stime, he claimed he loved me.
How could he be so hypocritical?
“What's wrong?”
Noticing my silence, he pinched my cheek with his slender fingers.
“You're so skinny, Grace. You should eat more.”

It probably only occurred to him now that he was the one who sentto prison.
He was about to say something when the door of the Rolls- Royce Phantom opened, and a familiar voice rang
out,
“Antonio, Grace, why are you still outside the car? It’s so cold out there.”
It was Kyla.
My heart sank even more.

Then she said, “Grace, Mom and Dad have the accountant send you money regularly, right?
“How cNaomi said you were working in a restaurant?
“You shouldn’t do this. Those who don’t know might think Mom and Dad are biased and treat you poorly.”

to me.

“Grace, if you need money and are too embarrassed to tell Mom and Dad, letknow. Mom bought this on my
last birthday. It cost her 500,000 dollars. This should be enough to last you a while, right?”
500,000 dollars?
As | looked at the extravagant bracelet, | smiled self- mockingly.
A single gift of hers was worth 500,000 dollars.

My mom said, “Money is all you ever want. Do | owe you or what? You should be grateful that | brought you to
this world. Stop askingfor money all the time.”
From then on, | never asked my parents for a single cent.

Tears streamed down Kyla’s cheeks at once.
Seeing this, Antoimmediately took her side, defending her, “Grace, Kyla meant well. It’s fine if you don’t want
the bracelet. Such harsh words are uncalled for.”
See? This was the man who claimed | was the only one he
loved.
Whenever Kyla and | had a row, he always sided with her.
“Antonio, do the poor have to accept charity and be grateful for it?”
| asked him word by word.
