Chapter46
Alison was furious and slapped Antonio hard.
Yet Antonio seemed to have lost his mind and kept on kissing her violently.
All of a sudden, he stopped. He looked at her intently and then murmured his anguish.
“I don’t care who you are, whether you’re Grace or Alison. Right now, you are the only one that keeps me going.
“Grace, do you know? I miss you like crazy. I miss every frown and smile of you. I miss our wonderful past….
“I swear, I’ll treat you well from now on. I’ll make up for everything. Please come back, please…”
During the days when Alison was missing, he tried his best to

The simultaneous ringing of two mobile phones added a touch of tension to this confined space.
In the next second, the car’s Bluetooth automatically connected, and Mylie’s sobbing voice came through.

“Come and see me. I really miss you…”
Then, there was a sharp shout to stop her, and the phone call was abruptly cut off.
Alison glared at the almost mad Antonio in front of her, her eyes brimming with hatred.
She bit down hard on his lips, and immediately, the taste of blood filled the space between their frenzied lips and teeth.
Antonio let out a grunt and finally stopped.
He gasped for breath and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. “Did I hurt you just now…”
“You hypocritical bastard!”
Antonio was jolted by the undisguised hatred in her eyes. A multitude of complex emotions flickered across his gaze. Eventually, he closed his eyes and spoke with self–deprecation.
