Chapter 1
My husband was celebrating his first love’s kid’s birthday while our daughter lay gravely ill.
I begged my millionaire husband to find the best doctor for our daughter.
But he snapped at me and hung up.
“Don’t interrupt us!”
“Grace Parrish, if you let your jealousy get out of hand again, I‘|| divorce you!”
I could only watch as Luna Kaufman took her last breath in my
arms.
When I got home with my daughter’s ashes, I saw Dorthy Barnett kiss Antonio Kaufman’s cheek.
“Antonio, thank you for giving Allen a fabulous birthday. But would Grace… Is Luna OK?”
Antonio was always mindful of boundaries, but this time, instead of pushing her away, he placed a hand on her waist.
“Don’t worry. Grace only said that to get me home. She’s a bad influence on Luna. I regret having Luna because she’s spoiled.”
With tears in my eyes, I felt my heart was torn to pieces and finally had no more illusions about Antonio.

Since they wanted to be together I’d let them.

When Antonio saw me, he withdrew his arm from Dorthy’s waist, his face flashing across a hint of guilt.
“Why didn’t you tell me when you were coming? I’m about to send someone to pick you up.”
Antonio was visibly flustered.
He forgot the last time I came to the military area alone and asked him to pick me up. He said he was busy, so I asked if he could send a colleague over.
However, he responded in a disgusted tone, “Grace, my subordinates are not your servants. If you act like a princess. again, I’ll divorce you.”
The train station was far from the military base. I nearly got abducted, but instead of showing concern, Antonio just called me stupid.
On the contrary, whenever Dorthy went downtown, Antonio would drive her over. Even if he was not available, he would send his subordinate to do that.
I said in a flat tone, “It’s OK.”
Antonio sensed that something was wrong with me and paused.
“Has Luna gotten well?”
At his words, I clutched the backpack tighter against my chest, as if shielding Luna.

I said, “Luna…”
Suddenly, a boy knocked me over
I grazed my wrist on the ground. In the pain, I tried my best to protect my backpack.
He almost broke the box containing Luna’s ashes, so I was
angry.
“Watch it!”
Dorthy’s son, Allen Kaufman, was standing behind me, looking bitter.
“You watch it! Why’re you back?”
Antonio frowned and hissed, “Enough! Grace, he’s just a kid. Don’t be mean to him!”
Dorthy stroked Antonio’s chest.
“Don’t be angry. I’m sorry for the trouble Allen and I caused for you. We’ll leave now…”
Hearing that, Antonio got angrier.
He glared at me. “You didn’t do anything wrong. She did.”
Antonio’s words wrung my heart.
With bloodshot eyes, I thought, “They are family, while I’m just an outsider.
Then I’ll leave.

Suddenly, Allen pulled out my backpack.
“Is there food in it? I want to eat it!”
The box was pulled out and fell to the ground.
Allen reached out with his dirty hand.
“What is it? I want to eat it!”
My head seems to have been smashed with that bang.
My eyes widened in shock as I shoved Allen away. “Don’t touch. it!”
Antonio looked furious.
“What are you doing? Allen is just a kid. How could you do that to him?
“Let me see what it is!”
Allen cried and pulled my hair. “I don’t care! I want to eat it!”
Breathless, I felt pain in my scalp, tears rolling down my cheeks.
“It’s Luna’s…”
Dorthy hugged Antonio.
“All right, Antonio, since it’s Luna’s thing, Allen shouldn’t have it.”
Antonio scoffed.
“This is my house. I decide who gets what.”
I held the box tightly and rushed into my bedroom in silence.

Antonio thought that I was taking out my anger, so he snorted, called me unbelievable, and took Dorthy and Allen out.
I prepared a divorce application and packed my things.
One week later, I’d take Luna away and never come back.
