Chapter21
Maybe it was because I finally relieved the burden, I slept. extraordinarily well that night. I earned half a day off since it was my first day as an official employee.
I only got up at noon. I then went to the office.
Yet shortly, I was told that a homeless man at the gate wanted
to see me.
I was confused. Alexander was worried about my safety, so he followed me to the door. I saw a familiar figure from afar.
It was Antonio.
He looked much slimmer than before. His cheeks looked skinny, with dark circles under his eyes. Even his hair was messy. It had been a long time since he ever tidied himself up.
The moment he saw him, his desperate eyes lit up again. Yet when he saw Alexander, I could see anger burning in his eyes. He rushed over, trying to push Alexander away.
“Fuck off! Don’t get close to Grace!”

Unlike Antonio, Alexander always had a healthy lifestyle. He went to the gym regularly.
Alexander remained completely unmoved after being shoved by Antonio.
I frowned, not sure where this was going.
Antonio turned around at me, his eyes full of bloody threads.
He walked towards me and begged me with his head lowered, “Grace, please come back with me. Let’s not get a divorce, OK?” 1 shook my head.
“Antonio, we’re done. Whatever you’re doing right now doesn’t mean anything to me. You’re hurting me as well as Vivian.” “No, we’re not yet done!”
Antonio panicked. He tried to hold my hand, yet Alexander stopped him.
Alexander pushed him gently, yet Antonio fell to the ground. The ring that I left on the end table dropped from his pocket, circling around on the floor before it finally stopped.
Antonio’s eyes looked even redder. He held that ring with two hands and went on begging me.

“Grace, please give me a second chance, please.” I shook my head again.
“Even if you don’t sign the agreement, I can still sue you to get a divorce.
“You’re just stalling and it’s not helping at all. For the sake of Vivian and Chris, just sign it.”
I turned around. Antonio wanted to follow me, yet the security guards stopped him. He called my name over and over again, desperately and hopelessly.
Yet I would never turn around for him.
Later, I heard that Vivian ran away with all their money.
Antonio couldn’t stand the strike. He spent all his days drinking, not going anywhere. His life was completely ruined.
His buddies called me several times, telling me about Antonio’s rotten life. I didn’t feel anything as I listened to it.
A few months later, I received the divorce agreement with Antonio’s signature. Looking at the agreement, I felt that I was finally set free.
The past was in the past.
