His Mistake, Her Revenge Chapter Forty Three
-- Alexander --I leaned back in my leather chair, steering myself slowly to the left and slowly to the right, lost in the turmoil in my head. It felt like the wrong time to remember Grizelda's painful words to me at the hospital but I did and clearly."I've decided to give Jax a chance in my life..." She had said.The words were like tiny needles pricking against my skin.Jax Grey. He was finally successful in taking Grizelda from me.Apart from that, there was a lingering pain in my chest. I felt deeply broken inside because it felt like everyone was suddenly against me. I felt alone with no one to turn to.I stared once again at the crumpled drawing Leo had given me last time I picked Spencer up from school. I'd been the one to crumple it, squeezing it tightly in my hand while emotions welled up inside of me. It was a picture of a family, properly colored with crayons.No matter how many times I stared at the drawing, I felt the same amount of emotions brewing inside of me. It was

-- Grizelda --Back at my parent's mansion to spend some time with them while I also brought Leo along, I settled in front of the television in the living room as I poured myself a drink. A breaking news alert caught my attention and shock had me in its hold as I saw Margaret standing at a podium, her face calm and composed.“As a grandmother, it is well obvious that I would want what's best for my grandson. Not just because I love him with all my heart and want him by my side, but because I want to ensure he's raised in an environment that prioritizes his well-being,” she said, her voice steady. “It’s clear to me that certain environments can be bad for a child's growth and upbringing.” My grip on the glass tightened. She was making this public. She was declaring war.“If you will not turn that off, I'll turn it off myself.” My father came out of nowhere, breaking through my concentration and before I had time to object, he went ahead and disconnected the tv plug from the sockets.

-- Alexander --My jaw hung loose when I saw Grizelda live on the TV screen. She sat composed, but like a queen appearing with a deadly look on her face like she had come to announce the presuction of those that had dared to go against her.“I have been a single mother for years, caring and nurturing my son till this very stage." She said smoothly, her voice calm yet laced with fire and authority. "Therefore, I believe if there should be anyone willing to claim him from under my care, they should be ready to prove more capable of catering for him better than I have. But that isn't the case now, is it?” She continued.“All I sense is family legacy being placed as a priority, as well as a struggle for control being brought to my face. The people I've seen are people who refuse to accept that I have built my own life, independent of them, and I refuse to be bullied. I refuse to allow my son to be used as a pawn in their game.” Her words sounded final.I clenched my fists. This had to be

-- Grizelda --I watched Leo fall asleep on his bed while I was just almost done with reading his bedtime stories to him. His tiny body curled against the pillows, his golden hair shimmering in the glow of the nightlight and the peaceful rise and fall of his chest indicating how probably deep he was in the world of his dreams.Hopefully, it was a good dream.I brushed a stray strand from his forehead and kissed him there. My love for him only grew more everyday and the will to protect him and keep him safe grew stronger day by day as well.I remembered how my blood boiled with simmering rage during the interview earlier today.Alexander Kingston had promised me, given me his word while we stood face to face, agreeing that there would be no dragging over Leo, yet what if it was all a lie?In the blink of an eye a custody battle was placed on my table? All for what?! It was exactly what I'd wanted us to avoid, yet he brought upon a damn legal war over Leo!Jax had to be right! It would

-- Alexander --I drove away in my car and they didn't hesitate to shut the gates behind me, the sharp clang of the metal gates symbolizing the superior power of the Williams Estate. And to think that years ago I always saw them as gods and never would have thought for once that one day I'd have the audacity to stand in front of their gates and plead to speak with their daughter.That was the kind of influence the Williams had in the entire country.But unfortunately, I'd once been married to that 'daughter' without knowing she was connected to the Williams family.I slammed my palm against the steering wheel, feeling the weight of my frustration pressed heavier on my chest.Damn you, Grizelda!I was trying my best to fix things, to prove that I was on her side in every way, yet I felt her shutting me out without any aid to it. Even audacity couldn't help me out.Her sliceful words repeated endlessly in my mind. "Then show it. Don't just fucking come and spell it out to my face."I ex

-- Alexander --Jerry hesitated. "Grizelda Williams has more enemies than even she knows." He said. "It's all connected to her."My blood ran cold and my patience grew thin as I clenched my fist. "Just tell me who it is." Silence. And on the other end the silence felt too long than necessary. Then Jerry finally spoke."Vicky Townsend." He said.My face went pale and I stiffened.No.That wasn't possible.For a moment, I wasn't sure I had heard him correctly."Vicky Townsend?" My voice was a quiet breath out of my mouth. Even I didn't believe myself. "Jerry... "Jerry sighed. "It is true, sir. I made thorough findings before putting a call through to you. Grizelda Williams received a phone call last night. She had no idea who the caller was but I had to find out. It was Vicky.""What did she say?" I asked after a few moments of digesting the information."Something about Grizelda focusing on the wrong enemies. And how it was fun to watch from behind the scenes."I inhaled sharply. I d

-- Grizelda --The vacation at my parents' mansion was over. Leo and I were back at my place that loomed, waiting for us to return. I stretched out of bed in the morning and saw an early text Jax left for me."I'm heading to our favorite spot today just because I missed it. Plus it'll help me take a heartwarming break from work. Care to join me?"I smiled as memories flooded in. Memories from our childhood, all created at that same favorite spot."Sure." I replied and sent the text straight to his DM."Great!" His response came shockingly faster than I'd had time to blink and I giggled.He was sure reminding me of the good old days.I soon took a quick bath and sat with Leo for breakfast. While I ate, my eyes watched him, his fork in hand, drumming noisily against his plate, his scrambled eggs untouched but left to be stabbed severally in all the places possible and occassionally pushed to the left, and then to the right."Leo?" I finally allowed myself to draw his attention. His head

-- Grizelda --“Grizelda,” I watched Alexander's Adam's apple go up and down as he repeated my name quietly this time. He looked from me to Jax. "I'm sorry if I'm interrupting but please I need to speak to you."The shadow in his eyes caught me by surprise. He looked...I couldn't quite find the right words.Sad, but just with a touch of silently restrained anger. I assumed I would find his fists clenched, if I looked down at his hands.Luckily for him, he had them tucked in the pockets of his trousers.I heard Leo's words running back into my ears like a thunder bolt."Dad is a good man."Was he really?What about Alexander did Leo like so much?Leo wasn't the one who felt what I did after being rejected and sent out of my own matrimonial home like I never meant anything to my husband.Leo was just a child. He wouldn't understand. It wasn't my fault that after all Alexander's much effort at apologizing for everything, it was still hard to trust him.Or was I taking things too far?I

-- Alexander --Grizelda didn't repeat her words. She didn't need to. I'd heard her clearly.I dropped my gaze, my hand closing tightly around the fork I held, my head pounding for absolutely stupid reasons. This was stupid. Why had I just reacted that way?Like I was angry? No, like I was surprised?This game of chasing was over, remember? I had no right to be mad? Or surprised. There was no me anymore. There was just Grizelda and other men now.I swallowed. "What did you say to him?" I asked before raising my head again."I told him I needed time to think. Look Alex..." She shook her head. "I'm sorry, okay? You were right about Vicky and I shouldn't have fought you over Jax. No matter what your accusations were, I had every right to be smart about it. Be sure you were wrong first, but you know what? I don't know what to believe anymore. I find him suspicious and I don't like that I do. For once in so long I was glad that everything else was going smoothly even if other parts of my l

-- Grizelda -- With one hand still holding the black box, Jax brought his hand back to mine from across the table again, his fingers still feeling irritatingly cold around mine.The open black box sat between us. The diamond ring inside sparkled like a precious jewel, waiting to be taken hold of.My eyes glued onto it.Slowly, my head began to make sense of what was going on.Jax had come prepared. For all I knew, he had seen this coming. All the questions I was asking him. All the sense of untrust towards him, and then he thought to make his final move to get it all over with.A checkmate.If I agreed to marry him, then it would all be over.He was planning to lock me into his world.It was the answer I failed to admit all along.Once again, Alexander was right.I was bound to leave Williams Corporation behind. It was just the perfect reward Vicky was getting out of Jax. Or rather, the reason Jax was willing to work with Vicky. She was the perfect bait to make his plans work. If onl

-- Grizelda --I saw Leo off to his room and stayed a little while before he slept.I returned to mine after with the same heavy heart I carried inside, sat down at my desk, pulled my laptop closer and unfolded it. I pressed the power button while I watched the screen brighten up immediately.I waited, logged in and finally began typing. It wasn't work I was doing.I was prying.I couldn't get Jax’s issue of betrayal off my chest. So, that was exactly what I was finally about to take care of. To uncover the truth myself.I had access to every major business database, and I knew exactly how to look for discrepancies. Jax was smart. That, I could admit. But not if he was thinking he could outsmart me.I began looking well into his recent transactions, searching and cross-checking them with rapt attention.At first, I missed anything that seemed suspicious. Nothing seemed out of place. His investments were clean. His companies' activities were nothing different from the ordinary.But th

-- Grizelda --Alexander's words refused to leave my head.His warnings.His claims.His insisting.His proofs.I stood in my bedroom, my legs just agreeing to walk away from the window side as I'd been staring out into the vast decorated surrounding of my mansion for far too long, although of course, my mind was trapped elsewhere.I sat on my bed, grabbing the glass of wine from the bedside drawer. I took a sip, the liquid running down my throat, instantly making me feel nauseous. I winced. Everything was unbelievably messing with my head.I wanted to cry again. I dropped the glass of wine back onto the bedside drawer and closed my palms over handfulls of my hair.What if Alexander was also right about Jax?It wasn't making any sense.All this while.I'd never expected to have enemies in my own circle.This was insane.My phone vibrated endlessly on the bed and I picked it up."Mom?""Hello, sweetie."Besides my mother’s voice, there was another voice in the background. It was my fat

-- Alexander --Anxiety grew by the second. Oxygen was far, patience was scarce and what was worse?The fact that I couldn't concentrate on anything else!My phone sat on my desk, face-up, the screen dark. Grizelda hadn't called, hadn't reached out.This was bad. She was wasting my time.I couldn't be more wrong than what I was thinking; she had lied to me. Made me think she was believing my every word, made me think she truly was going to confront her sister on the matter but turns out she hadn't planned to at all, had she?I drummed my fingers restlessly on the desk.I had waited for her feedback in vain.I covered my face with one hand and snatched my phone from the desk with the other.I exhaled, pressing my fingers against my temples as I dialed her number on my phone.I waited. It rang a few times and eventually, it got declined. I gritted my teeth, proceeding to text her instead."We need to talk.""No, please. Leave me alone, Alex. I'm tired, okay? I just want to be left alone

-- Grizelda --The folder felt heavy in my hands as I stepped through my front door. I already had Margaret Kingston's custody case on my table but I assuned life was unwilling to spare me with more problems.Now this?I hoped to God that the content of the folder wasn't true.My pulse thundered in my ears.Only one way to find out.I pulled out my phone and texted Vicky. "Dinner at my place?"Vicky's response came swiftly back to me. "Sure! That sounds nice, really. When do you want that?""How about right now?" I asked."Right now? You're missing me that much?" A smiley emoji was attached to the message."Very much. I just crave a little time with you.""Alright, I won't be long. Give me a few minutes and I'll be knocking right at your door.""See you soon." I was glad she agreed to come.But my heart refused to stop racing and my palms refused to stop sweating.The woman whom I had bonded with for years. My sister in all but blood. The woman who I seemed to have loved more than eve

-- Alexander --I fumed with serious anger as I hopped behind the wheels of my car and twisted the key into the ignition.I glared at the road as I headed back to take care of business at my office. It had been so long since I was genuinely happy. It had just been one frustrating day and another.A hell of a week!I gripped the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles turned white. My knuckles couldn't count how many times it had to go through that routine.I shook my head.Why was it so hard to just get things done and over with once and for all?I had expected Grizelda to be stubborn. To have thought otherwise would have been me lying to myself. Yet it was hard to resist the anger that made my heart thump hard in my chest.Jax Grey.It was such a disgusting romantic moment I had caught them in.She trusted the people closest to her with unwavering loyalty. Blind to nothing but the truth.And Vicky Townsend? She was certainly the most difficult to get rid of. She had been in Grizelda's
