I straightened my back. He looked down on me from the bottom of his heart, thinking I’d be overjoyed to be with him.
He was wrong!
“Antonio, if I could, I’d rather have never met you. If you stand me up again tomorrow, I’ll file for divorce in court.”
Seeing how determined I was, without any hint of joking, Antonio looked unpleased.
“Grace, are you serious? Do you have any idea how many women go to great lengths just to get me to notice them, and here you are, talking about divorce!”
Antonio laughed at my ignorance, but I laughed because he didn’t understand what love was.
True love had nothing to do with money.
“Antonio, I’d rather you were that debt–ridden poor guy than a wealthy man who lies all the time!
“I did love you, but it was not the real you!”
Antonio didn’t believe what I said.
“Grace, don’t pretend to be morally superior in front of me. You should know that it was your honor that I chose you from
so many.
“Not every woman gets the chance to be part of such a grand

plan. After three years of playing this role, you should be content.”
He looked at me as if he was doing me a favor. I really wanted to slap his face with my shoe, but I didn’t. He wasn’t worth me getting angry.
I pointed toward the door. “If you don’t leave right now, I’ll call the police.”
Antonio suddenly felt embarrassed. With a dark face, he decided to walk out.
I didn’t tell my mom about my situation with Antonio. After my father passed away, she raised me alone, and it wasn’t easy. I was afraid she couldn’t handle the news of my divorce, so I planned to tell her later.
But I didn’t expect Tessa to come to me.
I was about to leave for work in the morning when I saw her standing at my door.
Tessa looked up and down at me. “So you’re Grace? What a bumpkin!”
She was wearing all designer brands, while my entire outfit didn’t even cost 30 dollars, making her feel superior in front
of me.
“Tell me how much money do you want to get a divorce wit Antonio?”
I didn’t know what Antonio had told her, making her think I didn’t want a divorce, but I didn’t feel obligated to explain. Seeing me try to leave, Tessa reached out and grabbed me.

“I don’t care what tricks you used to seduce Antonio into marrying you. He’s mine. If you don’t agree to the divorce, don’t blame me for being rude.”
No matter how rotten my marriage with Antonio was, we were still legally married, and it wasn’t Tessa’s place to threaten me like this.
I coldly said, “This is my own business.”
Tessa began to insult me again.
“Is your mother dead? Didn’t she teach you not to covet other people’s things? I warn you! Divorce Antonio immediately!”
I was so angry I slapped Tessa across the face.
She could insult me, but she shouldn’t have insulted my mother. That was my bottom line.
Tessa covered her face, ready to explode, but suddenly
changed to a pitiful expres
“Ms. Parrish, I didn’t mean to upset you.”
I suddenly felt that she and Antonio were indeed a perfect match. They were both good at acting.
At that moment, a scolding voice rang out.“Grace, what are you doing?”
I turned around and saw Antonio, with a face full of anger. . le was coming toward me. I slapped him across the face again.
If it weren’t for him pretending to be poor and tricking me, and refusing to go with me to handle the divorce, I wouldn’t have to face such a situation.

Antonio was stunned by my slap. Clearly, given his status, he had never been slapped by anyone before.
“Grace!”
I smiled and said, “You asked me what I was doing. This was what I was doing.”
