Chapter 86
He refused to sign the divorce papers, with his ongoing distance from Sarah.
Sarah couldn’t handle it and tried multiple times to get him back, even resorting to taking pills.
Sarah couldn’t take it anymore and tried several times to force his hand with drugs.
Just two months postpartum, she managed to get pregnant again.
This time, Antonio seemed possessed, tending to Sarah’s belly every day with obsessive care.
When they discovered the fetus had deformities, Antonio finally let out a laugh.
“Are you happy now, Sarah? You made me drug Grace, and now the consequences are coming back on you. If it wasn’t for you, Grace and I wouldn’t have split! It’s all your fault! Why did you insist on having this baby?
“I was about to have a child with Grace. I could’ve been happy, but you ruined everything!”
Sarah was stunned.
She broke down in tears.
“Antonio! Didn’t you want to take care of me in the beginning? Why blame the child for everything? The child is innocent!”
“You said you loved Grace, but you cheated on her for four years! Do you

think she’ll ever take you back? No, she won’t! She’ll never forgive you!
This is your punishment!”
Antonio was already furious.
Hearing that, he completely lost it.
He grabbed Sarah by the neck, nearly choking the life out of her.
Sarah miscarried again, bleeding heavily. Her uterus couldn’t take it anymore after so many failed pregnancies.
When she saw my face in the operating room, barely hanging on, she forced a smile.
“You won, Grace.
“You won, didn’t you? Antonio still loves you the most.”

I didn’t respond, calmly switching out the surgical tools and finishing the procedure.
It wasn’t until the assistant wiped the sweat from my forehead that I allowed myself to relax.
Then I briefly turned my attention to Sarah.
“Sarah, not everyone is like you, with their mind consumed by love and men.”
“Antonio cheated, I divorced him. What’s so abnormal about that? But I can’t sacrifice my career and future for a scumbag.
“I didn’t give up on my career during pregnancy, and it led me to discover the truth about Antonio. I saved myself. As for your idea of winning? I couldn’t care less.”
Sarah stared at me, pale and confused.

Later, Antonio came to see me.
He held the signed divorce papers.
“Grace,” he said, his voice thin.
His face looked gaunt, and he was disheveled.

“I’m sorry for everything I did to hurt you. I don’t expect forgiveness, but I really love you. Can’t you give me another chance?
“I promise, I’ll love only you now. I won’t betray you again.”
I shook my head and took the divorce papers from him.
“Just go file for the divorce certificate when you can.”
At those words, the light in his eyes died completely.
After that, I didn’t hear much about them.
I only learned that Sarah had left, leaving the child with Antonio’s family, and had reported him for drugging her
While the crime wasn’t serious enough to ruin his life, it certainly ensured his career would be damaged.
Sarah came to apologize to me.
But I couldn’t bring myself to forgive her like a saint.
Treating her like a stranger was the best I could do.
My life was so long.
And I wasn’t about to waste it on insignificant people.
