I never thought I would see Antoagain.
The project Edwin and I studied was a great success. I was given a brand-new identity. When I accepted the award on the stage, I saw Antositting among the crowd.
The world was too small. Despite my efforts, we met again. Antohad changed a lot.
The past three years seemed to be a blizzard in his eyes, covering Antowith an icy aura. No longer the successful businessman, Antonow looked sad with a permanent crease between his brows.
"Aren't you going to say hi? It's said that in the past three years, he kept looking for you like a madman and has traveled across the world. Even I'm moved by his persistence."

"Alright. No need to waste your energy on people who aren't worth it. Because of your excellent performance in this study, I've filed a promotion report for you. I believe your career is looking bright." Edwin wantedto receive the award along with him. But I was used to being low-key. Also, I didn't want Antoto see me.

"Grace, I'm sorry. Please chwith me. I promise you that I'll never make you sad again." Men always made promises so easily.
Antohad promised that there would never be lies or betrayal in our marriage.
He promised that our love would be like a star, unique and eternal. But he had failed to keep any of his promises.
I knew things didn't end well for Corine. Antohad suffered too. But they had it coming. It had nothing to do with me.
I already had notarted a new life, a life that few steps band had nothing towith Antoand our past I took a distancing myself from Antonio.
I looked at him and scoffed.
"Sir, it seems that you like to make promises. Too bad that you've mistaken." Noticing the doubt in Antonio's face, I took out my ID and showed it to him.
"No, I'm not looking at that. You can't fool me. You're my Grace. I'll always recognize you.
"Grace, please forgive me. You have no idea how miserable I am without you. Every night, I dream of you. But when I wake up, I'm alone.
"I don't want to experience that pain again." Antograbbed my hand stubbornly as if he was worried that I'd disappear without a sound again.
