His Mistake, Her Revenge Chapter Twenty
-- Grizelda --He walked away and it felt like he took my heart along with him. The tears didn't stop rolling down my cheeks and I bit my lip till I tasted blood. I felt a mix of anger and pain. Pain caused by an overwhelming feeling of sadness. I felt broken and unable to be fixed again.Was this how little he thought of me? Was this how he wanted to play things? There was no other reason for what he just fucking did! He was using me, toying with my feelings! I wrapped my arms tightly around each other as I felt the chill run through my skin. Vicky came right in time and before he was completely out of sight, they passed by each other, her eyebrows shooting up like she didn't know he was present at the gala all along."Was that animal just here alone with you?" She quickened her pace towards me and her eyes became wide as soon as they focused on my face. "Griz, are you okay?""No, Vicky." My voice broke out and my eyes brewed with more tears than I could ever control. "I think you'

-- Alexander --My grip on the steering wheel was tight. Unfortunately for me, I couldn't meet the bastard of a father who dared come into my home to ask for money just to keep him from spilling our secret and ruining the peaceful life we've maintained for so long.He'd reached out later on and told us to meet him at a local restaurant with which we were headed. I was fuming. My blood was hot and I felt my knuckles turning white."Baby-" Lucy tried to reach out to my arm from the passenger's seat and I shot her a glare before she could get anywhere near me."Don't you dare touch me!" I shouted and she flinched. "I saw the condom you used under the bed. So that's how he ended up in our house isn't it? You called him over then he decided to use the opportunity to threaten you? And why wouldn't he?! You're probably also giving him my money because apparently, he's struggling without a proper job to feed himself."I turned my eyes to the road but I wished I could rest them on her a little

-- Grizelda --For days, I sat in the space of my office, making phone calls and aggressively typing things on my PC while thinking about one thing the most. Alexander. He was going to pay for everything. For treating me like trash. They were all going to pay. Lucy, his mother, for all they did years ago. For letting me wallow in self pity. I couldn't afford to rest until I had my revenge. I couldn't afford to keep looking stupid. And that was what they thought I was.Stupid. Vulnerable. Weak.Which they were all going to regret for thinking I was all of that. I couldn't wait to show them what I was really capable of. I felt myself desperate to the point of breaking apart but I didn't care. I didn't sleep. When the first idea came to my head, I went ahead and went for it.I barely had time for Leo anymore but I knew the more I focused on this, the more I could be done with it and things would be normal again. No, things would be better.And of course, I didn't rest."Don't you think y

-- Alexander --"Lucy, do me a favor. Call your boyfriend to meet with you for a date tonight and let me know your location once you're both together. Don't let him know I told you so." I said on the phone while I sat in my office chair.It took me a while to finally decide on making the phone call, and thankfully, the decision seemed the best way to come in contact with Spencer's father once again."You... you mean Jake?" Lucy responded on the call."Are there any others I should know about?" I asked her."No, no, that's not it. I just... you told him never to see me, again. You wanted us never to meet, so I'm confused." She stuttered. "Is this you testing me or something?""No, this has nothing to do with me testing you. I just need your help with this one little favor. Are you willing to help or not?" Talking to Lucy felt like using all the patience in me that I didn't have but I knew I had to keep a steady voice if I wanted her to listen to me."Did... Did he do something to you-"

-- Grizelda --I leaned back in my chair, the office was quiet except for the steady hum of the air conditioning. Sun rays filtered in from the windows and painted the office with a golden hue.I studied the sunrays for a while. As a kid, I used to be entranced by the light particles floating lazily in the air. I remember jabbing my hand through the rays to see if I could avoid getting sunlight on my skin.I chuckled at my foolishness back then.I shook myself out of that memory and willed myself to the present. I stared at the files on my desk, I grabbed one randomly, flipped through it and tossed it away. Anything that didn’t support my goal of bringing Alex firm to its knee had no relevance to me right now.My morning had been very productive. Too productive if you asked me. It was amazing how much could be accomplished with the right motivation. I had closed deals, reviewed budgets, and ensured every decision consolidated our strength in the industry while Alexander’s company cr

-- Alexander --The tension in the air was heavy as I marched through the hallway. My jaw was tight alongside every muscle in my body. The anger simmering in me was on the cusp of boiling over. Grizelda had taken it too far this time. Sabotaging my business was one thing but she crossed the damn line when she decided to harass my mother.Anger and desperation has never been a good combo and it wasn’t a good look on me but I didn’t care. All I knew was that I needed answers, and I was going to get them.The receptionist barely stammered and mumbled as I pushed through to her office. I banged on the door. I couldn’t care for formalities.Grizelda sat behind her sleek desk. She was the poster of composed power. Her dark hair were over her shoulders, and her blue eyes locked onto mine. It seemed she had been anticipating this confrontation for a while.“Alexander, To what do I owe this unexpected visit?”“Cut the crap. You know exactly why I’m here.” She leaned forward, interlocked her

-- Grizelda --The air still felt taut after Alexander stormed out of my office. His accusations about the texts were ridiculous. The look on his face when he realized it might not have been me seriously unnerved me.The speed at which he fled, as though some sick realization had struck him, remained in my mind longer than I cared to admit.I got up from my desk and walked to the window. I needed the city skyline to ground me.I walked over to the table and pressed the intercom button.“Please reschedule all my appointments for the rest of the day.”“Yes ma,” came the curt reply.I went back to the window and stared out at the horizon.The view always made me feel like I was in control. I was the Empress staring down at the blessed view of the empire I had reclaimed. However, even the towering skyscrapers couldn’t calm the nagging unease gnawing at me.There was a wildcard out there that I didn’t account for in my plans. This person, what were their motive and goals? Where did it be

-- Alexander --I was restless in my office. I felt gripped by a constrictive mix of rage and helplessness. There were so many missing pieces and the puzzle was still…a puzzle.The unknown number had been toying with me for days. I kept receiving cryptic texts that had made my skin crawl. My mother was rattled. My company was on the verge of crumbling. And every bone in my body told me that Jax Grey had a hand in it all.It just had to be him. It’s the only thing that made sense. I could feel his smugness during our last confrontation. Add that to his proximity and feelings for that are clear as day for Grizelda and Leo and you have a clear winner.Yet, why does my gut still say there is more to this whole charade that I’m seeing? That I’m yet to see the whole picture?Well, whole picture be damned. I’m going to do something with the pieces I have.“Nicholas.” I tapped the intercom button on the telephone.My Personal Assistant appeared in the doorway within seconds. He was a poster

-- 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

-- 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
His Mistake, Her Revenge Chapter Forty Nine
-- 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

-- 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

-- 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
