I Don’t Need Your Fake Love by Melandia

Chapter 5
Grace turned around and saw Antonio, looking really scared.
As soon as she hung up, he rushed over and grabbed her hand. “Grace, who’s immigrating?”
Grace kept her cool. “It’s just a friend. She’s thinking about moving overseas and wanted to meet up before she leaves.”
Maybe she looked too calm. Antonio never thought she could be lying. But he still hugged her tight, his voice shaking with fear. “I
thought it was you. You really freaked me out.”
Grace forced a smile. “It’s just immigration. No need to freak out.”
Antonio’s heart was racing as he tried to explain, “Grace, you know my family’s history, right? We have three generations in the
military. We’re not allowed to go abroad.”
Grace paused and then said, “If I mess up, you can yell at me or even hit me, but don’t go abroad. Not being able to find you
would kill me.”
Grace, held tight in his arms, smiled softly, “I get it.”
It still felt weird to him, so for the next few days, Antonio was glued to Grace’s side.
Even though his friend opened a new club and invited everyone to a party, he made sure to bring her along.
He kept an eye on her every day. Grace didn’t know how to

sneak away to the immigration office, so she just went to the party with him.
As soon as Grace entered the private room, she was mobbed by a bunch of guys.
“Grace, have fun today. We know you like it chill, so we’ve got classical music playing and the place has been emptied out.”

“That’s right, Grace. We’ve prepared some desserts for you. Antonio filled us in on all your favorites.”
“Come on, Grace. Have a seat here. We’ve got your favorite fruits all washed and ready for you.”

Antonio watched the scene and raised an eyebrow. “Since when did you guys get so good at pleasing a lady?”
“Everyone knows Grace is the apple of your eye. If we don’t keep her happy, you won’t hang out with us, right?”
“It’s true! Antonio, ever since you got married, you have rarely hung out with us. We’re so sad, so we can only pamper Grace
together with you.”
Everyone was cracking up, and just as the mood was at its peak, a slim figure walked in.
It was Kenna.
The manager hurried over to stop her. “Sorry, we’ve got VIPs today. No other customers are allowed.”
But Kenna just brushed him off and walked in directly. “Hey, Grace, Antonio. It looks like you’ve chartered this place. Mind

if I join in?”
Without waiting for an answer, she walked right over and sat beside Grace. Under the dim lights, she guided Antonio’s hand
toward her skirt.
Grace shuddered a little and couldn’t help but glance at Antonio. His expression changed when he saw Kenna. He wanted to get
her out of there. But just as his hand touched Kenna’s skirt, he closed his eyes and his fingers twitched slightly.
Right then, Grace felt suffocated.
She did her utmost to hold it together, acting like nothing had happened.

In the middle of the party, Grace excused herself and headed for the bathroom.
She kept washing her face with cold water, trying to snap out of it when a snarky voice broke the silence.
“Grace, you’re still young. You should really dress to impress more instead of looking so formal.”
Grace looked up and caught Kenna’s reflection in the mirror, a touch of scorn in her eyes.
“Look at this.”” Kenna whipped open her coat, showing off a slinky lingerie set with fox designs.
“You know how guys are, right? They’re all about what they see and just want to have fun. Want to bet? If I tell Antonio about my
outfit, he’ll probably ditch you and make out with me instead,” said Kenna triumphally.

Grace shivered a bit, not uttering a word. She shook the water off her hand before going back to the private room.
Kenna walked in shortly after.
As she walked by, she casually glanced at Antonio’s phone and tapped it.
Antonio glanced at his phone and saw a brief text. His throat tightened and his eyes darkened.
Then he casually tossed the phone back into his pocket and abruptly stood up.
He said, “Grace, I need to make a call. You stay here. I’ll be right back.”
Without waiting for an answer, he hurried out.
Shortly after, Kenna made an excuse and left too.
Watching their retreating figures, Grace tried her best to hold back her emotions, but the pain in her heart felt like a sharp knife,
stabbing her over and over.

She hurt so much. She wished she could pull Antonio straight to hell with her. She couldn’t wait to make him hurt more and suffer
more.
As evening approached, Antonio, who was supposed to be back in the afternoon, still hadn’t shown up.
The guys exchanged uneasy glances, and one of them finally stood up to suggest they take Grace home first.
They made an excuse for Antonio and said that he might be held back by something.

Grace just felt sarcastic.
What else could hold him back besides Kenna?

But she didn’t say anything and just quietly left the room.
The guys kindly sent her to her car, but as soon as she got in, she realized she had forgotten her bag.
Just as she was about to go back to the room to get it, she heard a long sigh from inside.
“We finally sent Grace off. If she had stayed any longer, I would have definitely slipped up. I don’t know how Antonio managed to
act so well in front of Grace.”
