Since then, we started seeing each other more often.
Trevin would go with me to cocktail parties and carry drinks for
- me.
When other models were short on time, he’d make time to shoot ads for me for free.
When I worked overtime, he’d bring his homemade cupcakes and keep me company.
During a break after finishing a big project, we went to Afferry to watch the wildebeest migration and to Lerriland to see the
aurora.
He took me to lots of places I’d always wanted to go.
Then came the day he confessed to me. Somehow, I became
nervous.
Meeting his earnest gaze, I said nervously, “Trevin, I have a one- year–old daughter.
“I’ve been in a very painful relationship, and I’m scared of getting hurt again.”
But he took my hand, his eyes full of passion. “Grace, I’ll love your daughter as if she were my own.
“If you spend more working, I won’t stop you from focusing on more than just family. If you want a break, I’ll go with you to

“Don’t worry. I’ll do my best to heal the wounds in your heart.
“I will never let you sacrifice yourself for me.”
My eyes filled with tears and I asked him one last question, “Are you gonna love only me forever?”
Trevin gently kissed away the tears at the corners of my eyes and said firmly, “From the past until now, my heart will always be yours.”
Our life together was extremely happy.
It even made me forget all the pain I had endured.
I changed my phone number and canceled all my domestic information.
It didn’t matter if Antonio didn’t sign the divorce papers. I used fake ID info back then. Since I couldn’t be found now, our marriage should be invalid.
I thought Antonio would never find me in this lifetime.
At a reception I was hosting, I held a glass of wine and chatted and laughed with others.
But suddenly, a trembling voice came from behind me.
“Grace, is that you?”
A familiar yet revolting voice rang out, and I turned around.
There was Antonio’s face right in front of me.

“Grace, I’ve been searching for you for so long. Your legs are actually healed!”
He rushed forward eagerly and attempted to grasp my hand.
I frowned in disgust and stepped back a few paces. “Keep away from me. Don’t you dare touch me!”
He stared at me in disbelief, his eyes brimming with sorrow.
“Grace, what’s gotten into you? I’ve spent a whole year looking for you. How could you treat me like this…”
But all I felt was irritation. “Isn’t it absurd for you to pretend to be so affectionate?
“Just looking at your face makes me sick.”
The guests around us shot surprised glances.
“Ms. Parrish, it seems you’re in an old romantic issue.”
“But this man… We won’t disturb you. See you.”
They gave me some space to deal with Antonio.
I took a deep breath and spoke in a cold, emotionless voice, “Antonio, you made me lose a kidney, left me paralyzed, and. even tried to kill my baby out of your selfishness.
“What on earth makes you think I’d treat you nicely?
“Do you think that I’ve been longing to see you again?
“Wake up! It’s already a mercy that I’m not seeking revenge on you. What more are you dreaming of?”

His eyes immédiately turned red, and he shook his head. “Grace, I know I was wrong.”
