After meals, | was all about sketching design ideas or diving into whatever caught my fancy. When | had some downtime, | took a stroll, letting my thoughts drift away, just enjoying the peace and quiet.

Every now and then, bits of news from my old life filtered through. There was even a time when they reported | was dead. Then there was the whole Antonio and Tyler ---- Chapter 284 thing. They were really out for blood, trying to ruin Michelle and her mom.

Michelle, who was on top of the world with her win, suddenly became a public enemy.

And that wasn't all. Antonio and Tyler even took back every fancy gift they'd ever given her.
