When his ex-girlfriend returns, seeking assistance for her sickness, she also doesn't mind. She even tries her best to make his ex-girlfriend happy and comfortable.

He even insults her and sends her to jail after stealing a million dollars in her name! What happens when she returns with her true identity as someone far richer and stronger than him in the business world?What happens when she also returns with a son that looks exactly like him?

View More-- Grizelda --“Grizelda,” He called my name from behind and my breath seized.I knew he was coming to talk to me and most of all, I'd seen him speaking with my son but pretended not to notice. I was pissed at Vicky for not keeping to her word and I had to hurriedly send a random woman to help me rescue Leo. Thank goodness that she had quickly agreed to help me. After all, the woman had seemed so excited to witness me talk to her like I was some goddess or angel.Slowly, I turned away from the group of women I was giving a bit of my attention to and faced Alexander. Silently, I prayed to God that this wasn't about Leo. That he hadn't noticed Leo's resemblance with him or I doubted I was ready to answer any of his questions. He didn't deserve any answers. He didn't deserve anything at all that concerned me and my life. Not anymore.I tried to keep a cool and distant expression as I stared into his hazel eyes that was no different from Leo's ones. Leo was the cutest child I ever laid my
-- Alexander --My heart felt painful as I watched her stand on the stage and address her guests. It felt like a dream. I wanted to pinch myself to wake up. It was a dream, wasn't it?I felt my insides going into a turmoil. The woman on the stage was unrecognizable. That wasn't the Grizelda I knew. That wasn't the woman I'd gone on dates with and with whom I'd decided to spend the rest of my life. That was someone else. Someone powerful, untouchable.It was a side of her I'd never seen. Confident, completely at ease, easily fitting into the world of the elite. A world consciously at her fingertips.Amongst the crowd around me, my ears picked up hushed voices belonging to a group of men in particular. They stood not far from me, so I could hear them clearly."Yeah, I never knew James' daughter was this breathtaking. She really is the Grizelda Williams whom I hear is supposed to be some kind of business genius, even though she's always kept out of the spotlight. She makes me want to hav
-- Grizelda --I felt bored in my own welcome party. I realized how much I wasn't used to my own set of rich people. They were pompous and proud. At least, the ones that were currently present at the party hosted because of me. I had to keep my smile while they all eagerly came to greet and talk to me. The men came off as irritating.They knew I wasn't married and they thought they could use the opportunity to show off their assets in conversations and throw nothing other than wealth from their mouths. I fought hard from reminding them that they couldn't be compared to my father's, so what was the essence of bragging to me about it? Couldn't they be sensible enough to know that money was far the least of my concern?I needed a real man for goodness sake!In the middle of conversations, my mind pondered off to Leo. Somehow, I felt uncomfortable that he was with me at the party. I had tried to convince my parents to let me leave him behind at home under the care of my hired nannies, but
-- Alexander --It wasn't a mistake. I wasn't dreaming. My eyes weren't seeing things. It was Grizelda. Truly the woman I'd been searching for and thinking relentlessly about like a mad man. I couldn't believe she was standing right in front of me.She looked so beautiful. Maybe because it felt like forever since I had seen her. Her skin was the finest shine now. Her hair like the best hairstylists all gathered in one place had attended to it themselves. She wore a long white dress that fell to the ground and covered the heels that she might have been wearing under it. It hugged her in all the right places, showing me curves that I might have never noticed or knew existed on her.Her gown was even more stunning than the one I bought for Lucy, although I'd spent so much money on it. It wasn’t just elegant, it screamed expensive and I was confused. Her choice of color baffled me. Every other person at the party went along with the dress code, all glamored in either wine or black, yet sh
-- Alexander --I stood in the space of my office, staring out at the busy streets for a long moment, my mind racing. Every decision I’d made, every step I’d taken to build the life I thought I wanted, was starting to crumble.I'd felt the eyes glued on me the second I'd walked into the building, the undercurrent of tension running through my employees like an electric wire. Everyone was scared for me. Scared for the company and the doom it was about to face.It was like the world was counting on me and the gravity of pressure felt heavy, forcing me into a state of depression. I felt hopeless and I couldn't even let it show. Shame washed over me. It was my company, yet it felt like I had no control of every single piece of it. I was the damn CEO for goodness sake. I balled my fists into my pockets, digging my nails deep into my palm. I hadn't slept in the past three days. I felt restless."Sir!" My office door flung open. I turned away from the window and saw Nicholas walk in with a d
-- Grizelda --The sound of my heels echoed off the fine hardened stairs of my mansion as I slowly approached my son and sister waiting for me in the living room. It was obvious that I carried a different type of energy. Different from five years ago. I had returned to reclaim my place as the daughter and heir to the most powerful family in this city. And I was back to show them all who they had underestimated.Anyone who hadn't laid eyes on me in the last five years would lay eyes on me now and be scared to see the woman that I had become. I wasn't just Grizelda Williams, the shy daughter of James Williams and abandoned ex-wife of Alexander Kingston that everyone once knew. I was the woman who had known real pain and betrayal and come out stronger and harder, and fierce.I trailed my fingers lightly against the railings and kept my chin in the air. I inhaled once again the space of my new home. My son, Leo and I were back to New York from the UK about a week ago. While I was ready to
-- Alexander --Everyday, I found myself becoming more depressed despite all the success and riches that surrounded me. I felt incomplete without Grizelda by my side. I had searched for her for years and found nothing on her. Like she had disappeared completely just as she'd planned to from a heartless man like I was. I could never forgive myself for what I did to her and it ate me up everyday.I tried her phone number severally on different occasions, hoping it would go through one day, but I was only deceiving myself. She had probably changed her number. I wanted to see her just once and apologise for the pain I caused.My company grew bigger and bigger and I grew richer and richer. My mother had everything she ever wished for. All she had to do was snap her fingers and I would have everything being sent to the mansion I gifted her.Everyone was happy, even my new wife and her son, Spencer, who was now five years old. He looked nothing like me. I had blonde hair and hazel eyes, wher
-- Alexander --Alone in my office, I stared at my phone, wondering if I should text my ex wife or not. A few days had passed since she left me and it felt like a whole month, already. I couldn't seem to get her out of my mind. Was she really gone forever?Out of frustration, I dropped my phone on my office table and ran my fingers through my blonde hair. For the past few days, I'd been fighting with myself not to text or call her. I had my pride to feed. She was the one who left me. She was the one who cheated on me. Sleeping with other men behind my back for how long now?And how could I be so foolish to still be thinking about her? Why couldn't I just let her go? Why was I so unwilling to accept what life had given to me? I didn't want to believe that the woman I fell so deeply in love with on the very first day I set my eyes on her, could have never loved me the same way in the first place."Alex!" I jumped when I heard a voice in my office. I sat upright and adjusted myself immed
-- Grizelda --I blinked back confusion and tried to make out the doctor's face. He wasn't joking. The smile on his face was huge."Who is your husband? He must be happy to hear the news." I traced his vision to the ring on my finger. I was still wearing my wedding ring so now he must have thought I was still married. "Your first pregnancy?""Hold on a bit, doctor. It must be a mistake. I can't be pregnant. I don't remember sleeping with any man since I got married.""Not even your husband?" The doctor's eyes flew wide open."No, no, that's not what I meant. What I'm trying to say is that my husband is impotent. So there's no way I'm pregnant for him. And neither have I slept with another man that wasn't him. Please you have to recheck again.""I'm sorry, ma'am. But it's the truth. We can't be wrong here. You're pregnant and it's up to four months now." The doctor reaffirmed. "Or do you want to abort it?""No, no." I tried to breathe as my head struggled to digest the information.I l
-- Grizelda --I stopped by my favorite restaurant to have a meal alone. It was an expensive restaurant. It was such a great news that I could finally use my husband's money to pay for the food I ate.I missed the restaurant, anyways. I was always at home unlike before I got married. I had to quit my job just to become a housewife, but all for the sake of my husband. My Alexander. The one and only person that managed to keep my heart from being snatched from any other man. It was like I was under a trance. I loved him so much that I was willing to do anything for him.Recently, he broke the news to me that his ex girlfriend would be staying with us in our mansion for a while since she just got discharged from the hospital. I hadn't thought twice before I agreed to the decision. I had turned deaf ears to everyone, including my best friend, Jax Grey, who claimed that it wasn't normal that my husband was very willing to pay his ex girlfriend's medical bills, not to talk of wanting her to
