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

His Mistake, Her Revenge Chapter Fifty Nine
-- Alexander --I sat in my office chair, staring daggers into my laptop screen as it played the video in front of me; Jax Grey and Vicky Townsend. I finally reached forward to pause it, unable to take it anymore. One part of me was satisfied for sure.I had made a huge progress.The audio file was open, paused just when whoever was listening to it would have heard enough. Vicky Townsend’s voice was the loudest of course, dripped with malice. My fingers still lay on top of the play button, not pressing it yet as I replayed their conversation in my head. I had watched it over and over again.“You're saying she agreed to your proposal?!” Vicky laughed in the recording. “If only she knew this was just to get rid of her once and for all. I can't believe she'll finally be gone for good this time. I don't know how else to thank you, Jax. I thought when she found out about me, I was done for.""No, I should be the one thanking you, Vicky." Jax's disgustingly cheerful voice came next. "I woul

-- Grizelda --One last time.I told myself as I sat waiting for Jax to show up for dinner at an upscale restaurant the next day.One last time to figure out if he was still worth it or not.I knew I missed Vicky. But the Vicky I knew was gone. Maybe she never even existed.I was tired of people stabbing me in the back. I was yet to trust Alexander himself. If only I didn't need his assistance in all of this, I would have preferred he was at a safer distance from me.I replayed my conversation with Jax on the phone. How I'd texted him for us to meet again. How his reply came too fast.I felt disappointed. He was too eager. There had to be a reason I never found Jax to be a potential suitor. Definitely not because I'd fallen for Alexander. I'd known Jax all my life. I had just...My eyes finally caught a glimpse of him then someone blocked my view. I sat up straight, readying myself before he came into view again. I took in a deep breath until he came closer and I stood as he greeted m

-- 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
