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
persuade himself that Alison wasn’t his wife and that he should let her
But the instant he saw her smiling sweetly at another man, his resolve crumbled in an instant! All those decisions he had forced himself to make under the guise of reason were gone.
Antonio’s eyes reddened, and as she struggled, he kissed her once.

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.
“Antonio, when are you coming back? When will you come and see
me…
“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.
“Yes, I’m hypocritical…
“If you were Grace, you would surely be able to feel that my heart still beats for you.
“If you’re not, then I can’t let you go. Ever since Grace left, my life has been in shambles!
“Grace, please come back with me…
“This time, I’ll definitely make amends with my life…”
Antonio was lost in his sorrow. He didn’t know that Alison suddenly pressed the car door unlock button.
Simultaneously, Javon’s men yanked the car door open and stunned Antonio with a stun–stick!
Javon looked livid and commanded his men to toss Antonio onto the plane.
Yet, Alison’s voice rang out in the night sky, “Wait.”
Javon’s body went rigid, and he slowly turned around.
One glance was all it took for him to understand her decision.
Alison stood there, her voice as frigid as ice, devoid of any warmth.
“She’s actually still living comfortably, without facing any consequences.
“And he actually has the guts to say those things to me.
“Javon, I want to go back.
“I didn’t want to get entangled with them anymore, but since they kept provoking me time and time again…
“Then I’ll make sure they get the punishment they deserve.”
Javon stared at her in silence, keeping silent for a long while. After a long time, his muffled voice sounded in the wind.
“I know I have no right to stop you, but please grant me one request.”
“What is it?”
“Let me go back with you.” Javon wanted to protect her.
Alison was dumbfounded, but finally, she nodded.
So, the next day, she said to Antonio, “Okay, I’ll go back with you. I just want to see the places where my twin sister and my parents used to live.”
Antonio looked at her in disbelief. He could hardly believe his ears.
t glimmer of light finally appeared in his otherwise dull eyes.
