StartNovelChapter 14
Janelle and her ex-husband had long since fallen out. She never dared to tell Antothat her cheating led to the
divorce.
She hadn’t worked since getting married. The divorce left her with nothing, so she turned to Antonio, pretending
she still had feelings for him to justify her return.
But what if the truth cout and Antofound out the child was another man’s?
“Antocan never find out!” Janelle promised herself.
After the check-up, Janelle looked really worried. Antothought she was stressing about the baby and tried to
comfort her. “Don’t worry. From now on, we'll focus on the baby.”
Janelle forced a smile.
Antowasn’t as calm as he sounded. He had never thought about marriage, and now a baby was suddenly in
the picture.
After dropping Janelle home, he found an excuse to leave.
Once he was out of sight, Janelle’s fake sadness faded away. She picked up her phone and called a friend from
out of town. “I've got Antonio. And I'm pregnant. Lucky me!”
Antofroze, his hand tightening around the doorknob, as he listened to her gloating from behind the door.

“I threw that woman out of the picture. Sucks for her, crossing paths with me.
“Tino might be looking for her, but Ill just say | feel sick, and he’ll crunning back.
“He always trusts me! When she suggested checking the surveillance footage, he didn’t even bother. She can’t
compete with me. Being Tino’s first love givesan edge she’ll never have. Plus, he never even called her his
girlfriend or anything. She’s a nobody.” Janelle’s unfiltered words hit Antolike a punch in the gut.
“The footage?” he whispered, recalling the at Dessert Tryst. His body tensed, and his hand clenched into
a fist.
Laughter echoed from the room, but soon it went silent.
Antowas in turmoil. He hurried to the parking lot and drove to Dessert Tryst.
He made sure no one was around and reviewed the footage from a week ago.
The video clearly showed Janelle provoking Grace until she staged her own fall. Grace didn’t touch her at all.
Their conversation was recorded too, and Antonio’s face grew darker with each of Janelle’s words.
He remembered how she had convinced him to find evidence against Grace. As he thought about her phone call
just now, his blood ran cold.
His heart raced as he tried to message Grace. Once the text was ready, he realized she had blocked him on
WhatsApp.

This hit Antohard, making his hands tremble. He then tried calling her.
This hit Antohard, making his hands tremble. He then tried calling her.
After a long beep, he found out his number was blocked too. Grace had cut him off completely. His heart sank,
and he felt like he couldn't breathe.
Antocouldn't hold back any longer. He dashed downstairs and headed straight to Grace's place.
The moment he opened the door, shock and dismay washed over him.
The living room, once cozy with Grace's things, was now empty.
The only thing left was a closet full of clothes he had bought for her. It was as if she had vanished without
leaving a trace.
Antostood rooted, his mind blank. His phone buzzed, snapping him back to reality. It was a call about a
package waiting for him.
But Antodidn’t recall ordering anything. Confused, he made his way to take the package.
It turned out to be an envelope. As he tore it open, the first line caught his eye and froze him: “Grace Parrish
voluntarily entrusts all her assets to AntoKaufman.”

He was desperate to find Grace and get answers, but every attempt to reach her fell flat. Frustrated, he lit a
cigarette.
Antojust couldn't get why she was so mad this time.

Normally, a few sweet words and a kind gesture would do the trick. But despite his heartfelt apologies, she
wouldn't even see him.
“Fine, give her more tto cool off. She's probably still mad, or she wouldn't have gone through all this
trouble,” he thought.
His phone lit up with a message from Janelle, asking him to cover. His face clouded over again.
He just couldn’t bring himself to reply or head back after what he heard outside her door and saw on the
footage.
“Guess | don’t know Janelle as well as | thought, huh? Is her sweet demeanor just an act?” he murmured to
himself. He almost hated himself for doubting her, but he couldn’t shake the feeling.
He stayed in the house for hours, finishing his last cigarette. Eventually, he decided to hit up their mutual friend,
Kylie Gallagher.
Kylie knew all about Janelle’s relationship with her ex- husband. She might be able to give Antosclues.
