The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio) novel Chapter 298

Chapter298

In the car, Antonio's face was grim.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is not available right now. Please try again later,” the automated voice droned.

He got the same message three times in a row.

Next, Antonio dialed Tyler's number.

Dead silence was on the other end.

Michelle, noticing Antonio's eyes never strayed her way, rubbed her arm and let out a quiet wince.

Antonio still didn't react at all.

Two calls, two failures. Antonio's frustration was as clear as day, his eyes sparking with irritation. "Floor it!"

The driver hit the gas, the car lurching forward.

Michelle tugged at his sleeve, her voice barely above a whisper. "Antonio, please, this is scaring me."

Back in the day, Antonio would have melted, wrapping her in a warm embrace.

But not today. He just gave her a quick look, his brows knitting together again.

Michelle's voice trembled with worry. "Antonio, you don't think something bad happened to Grace, do you?

The place he knew so well was now just a mess of ruins.

It was clear the fire had raged for hours, turning almost everything to dust.

The remains had been doused with water, some of it seeping into the burnt ground.

In the middle of the debris, Tyler was kneeling, his hands by his sides, blood slowly dripping down.

It hit him the news he'd caught on the ferry.

Everything his friend told him was true.

The call Tyler got from the police was the real deal too.
