Chapter 31 

A burst of anger rose in my heart

My chair screeched across the travertine floor. I dumped the remaining pancake into the trash compactor

Kitchen’s right there.My voice sounded cold

Antonio leaned back in his chair, arms crossed behind his head

Still territorial about your damn food, I see.” 

Same old Grace,he drawled, pushing up from the table

I was speechless

As he passed me heading toward the spiral staircase, his hand brushed my hip. A foil packet appeared in my pocket

It was Plan B. 

Don’t forget,he murmured

Watching him turn to the second floor, even though it was the height of summer, I felt a chill all over

Actually, he knew everything

Antonio slept in for the whole morning. As evening approached, he came downstairs

His Tom Ford suit jacket hung with intentional carelessness, artfully tousled hair catching the chandelier light like some

Linda glanced up from her Kindle Paperwhite on the sofa. Dinner’s in thirty. Where’re you going?” 

Antonio crouched to buff a microscopic scuff from his Ferragamo loafers

Scouting my future wife,” he drawled

Keep joking like that,” Linda warned, nodding toward where I stood frozen in the archway, and Grace’ll end up marrying that nice Wharton boy from the club.” 

The temperature dropped twenty degrees

We both remembered the yellowed newspaper clipping in the library Local Hero Parrish in Brownstone Fire Saving Business Partner followed by the custody agreement that bound me to this gilded cage

Back then, the Kaufman family suddenly had a fire. To save his friend, Uncle Nelson, my dad rushed into the flames all by himself

Later, my mom also passed away due to illness

Uncle Nelson and Auntie Linda then raised me as their own

So they had always been looking forward to me marrying Antonio in the future

They also wanted us to be together

This was a fact that Antonio and I had known since we were 

young

Mom, stop making things up. You know I see Grace as family.”

Antonio’s feigned detached tone snapped me back to reality. 

When Linda left for the kitchen, I blocked his path to the 

garage

Off to serenade your precious Miss Perfect?” 

His head snapped up

You went through my phone?” 

His voice turned sharp all of a sudden

Then, seemingly remembering this morning when he was still halfasleep and asked me to turn off his alarm, the coldness in his eyes eased up a bit

Fine, since you already know, I won’t hide it from you

We grew up together. You should know how much time I’ve spent chasing her, right?” 

I did know

Madison was that music major who stood out like a rose among thorns at our school

While other girls drowned in oversized sweaters and sported boyish cuts, she flowed through hallways with Bridgerton 

curls and a dancer’s grace

That’s why when Antonio’s stray basketball hit her head 

during practice junior year, he fell harder than that rebound

The guy who never stuck with anything for a week suddenly became laserfocusedchasing Madison for two straight 

years

But even as prom king, Antonio struck out. Madison kept rejecting him over his lousy grades and latenight gaming binges

Tears burned my eyes as I stared up at him on the stairs

If you’re still hung up on herthen why’d you say yes yesterday?” 

My voice cracked. Why take me to that motel andand?” 

Antonio scoffed

Hold upI never agreed to your drunk confession. You planted one on me after babbling about feelings. What was I supposed to do? Let my sisterget humiliated in front of everyone?” 

What a considerate reason

My fists clenched

Then the motel?” 

He jammed his hands in his pockets, descending toward me

You were wasted! Bringing you home would’ve gotten me grounded for life. What happened after” 

A shrug

C’mon Grace, I’m a man.”
