Chapter 1 288 Voervers Grace's grandmother , Kate Harding , and her daughter , Talia Kaufman , were laid to rest side by side . Though petite , they had filled her world with love . Her grief left her empty and lost . Meanwhile , the world kept spinning , with the internet buzzing about her husband and his " first love " and their baby on the way . On New Year's Eve , with celebrations in full swing , Grace took a desperate leap from the building . Her hatred for Antonio Kaufman ran so deep that her final wish was , " Antonio , may our paths never cross again . " *** Clutching the urns of Kate and Talia , Grace started humming hollowly , " Twinkle , twinkle , little star … " Kate used to sing this to her when she was little , and then Grace sang it to her daughter . Now , both were gone , leaving Grace so numb with grief that tears wouldn't come . When Antonio walked in , he found Grace kneeling on the ground , impatience clear in his eyes . " Grace , acting up again ? What now ? Yesenia saved my life . Can't you stop being such a jealous wife ? " he ranted . His rant didn't get a reaction , and her eyes stayed blank . Since Yesenia came back , Antonio had been like a different person - out all night , doting on her . At first , Grace tried to fix things , but losing Kate and Talia drained her . Loving him anymore felt like a betrayal to herself . Grace's blank stare and silence made Antonio clench his jaw . Angrier , he snapped , " Talia didn't turn out right with you . How can you even call yourself a mother ? " The mention of Talia's name jolted Grace out of her trance . Her eyes reddened as she shot back , " Antonio , what kind of dad are you ? " You can hate me , yell at me , even hit me , but how could you leave Talia alone at the playground ? She was only sev- en ! " When we found her , she was in pieces . She couldn't even rest in peace . " 0.0 % 10:56 Chapter 1 288 Vouchers Grace couldn't bear the thought of her daughter's tragic end . Unlike her usual meek self , her words were filled with hurt and anger . " Enough ! " Antonio cut her off , impatient . " Yesenia sent someone to pick up Talia . Just because I didn't take you to see your grandma , you come up with these crazy lies . " Grace felt a chill run through her , her eyes bloodshot . " No one picked her up . She ran into some creep- Antonio frowned , cutting her off again . " If you hadn't filled Talia's head with all that crap about Yesenia being a homewrecker , I wouldn't have had to punish her . " And you wanted the car to see your grandma right when Yesenia needed to go to the hospital . You're wicked ! " His hurtful words and the sorrow they carried left Grace on the brink of collapse , unable to find her voice . Thinking Grace had given in , Antonio coldly said , " Admit you're wrong and take Talia to apologize to Yesenia . " With that , he walked away without looking back . The air was thick with the smell of Yesenia's lily perfume . Grace felt sick and crouched down , vomiting . Apologize ? She'd rather die . Grace had been an orphan since she was a child , raised by Kate . She remembered the day Kate's house collapsed , and she called Grace for help . There were no taxis available in the Kaufman's villa area . With tears streaming down her face , Grace knelt and begged Antonio to take her there . But Antonio , cold as ice , refused because Yesenia had burned her hand making soup , and he had to be with her . The next day , Grace came home with Kate's ashes , only to find the horrifying sight of Talia's body in pieces . The criminal had cut her up so badly that there was no way to even piece her back together . Grace froze , staring blankly . But when she touched the tiny , stitched - up body , an agonizing cry escaped her lips . Talia was so young , barely getting a glimpse of the world . And Kate had been so excited to celebrate the New Year with them just days ago . Now , those beautiful memories felt like knives slicing through Grace . The morgue staff , out of pity , took her to the lounge . The television was broadcasting news about Antonio splurging on a gemstone called " Éclat " for Yesenia . Grace slid to the ground , her face ashen . 41.6 % 10:53 Chapter 1 Holding Kate's urn , she waited for Talia's cremation . Losing two loved ones in just two days completely broke her . She felt like an empty husk , with nothing left to give . On the screen , the host wrapped up , saying , " Mr. Kaufman is one in a million as a boyfriend . " Grace scoffed , " One in a million , huh ? "
