The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio) novel Chapter 272

Chapter272

I was diagnosed with terminal cancer.

I refused treatment, leaving the money for my mother.

She, however, gave it to my brother Remy Parrish, to spend as he pleased.

He gambled it all away, burying himself in debt.

For Remy, my mother then coerced me into marrying a murderer.

He killed me, dismembered my body, and flushed it down the sewer.

Severely ill and desperate for money, my mother was abandoned by Remy.

Only then did she think of me.

But I was dead, unable to help.

The day I died, my mom Laura turned 50.

She invited me to her birthday party for the first time.

I wore a long-sleeved jacket to cover the bruises my husband had inflicted.

Seeing me about to leave, he kicked me to the floor.

I had been ill for a year, and each blow felt like it was tearing me apart.

Desperate to attend my mother's party, I clung to his leg and pleaded, "Mom invited me to her birthday. It is the first time ever. Please let me go."

He stopped beating me but snickered.

Terror crawled through me. Panicky, I scrambled up, grabbed my mother's gift, and bolted for the door.

As my hand touched the handle, something hard slammed against my head.

"Dont you dare lie to me, bitch!

"Drop dead! Then you wont be sleeping around anymore!"

My phone rang before I lost consciousness.

Antonio answered, speaking gently to my mother.

Laura asked why I hadn't arrived.

Antonio glanced at me and told her I had changed my mind. Laura erupted in a torrent of curses.
