His Mistake, Her Revenge Chapter Fourteen
-- Grizelda --The next morning, the loud sound of my alarm pinched through my ears. I dragged myself from bed even though I knew I had no plans of leaving the house. I decided to work from home this time.I stepped into the shower first thing and took a cold bath before wrapping myself in a thick bathrobe and heading down the stairs to be sure Leo hadn't gone to school yet. I needed to see him. I needed to see the face that lighted my soul and gave me reason to stay alive in this cruel world.He sat at the dining table, all focus on the breakfast dished before him by my dutiful maids and not noticing me as I stood watching from afar. I took in a sharp breath while staring at his face. The way he smiled. The way he furrowed his brow when he concentrated. It was like staring at the man I once loved, himself. As much as I distanced myself from Alexander, Leo remained the subtle reminder that Alexander’s presence was still everywhere in my life.And I kept that truth all to myself. Away

-- Alexander --I was foolish. I was stupid. I couldn't believe how I could have acted so rashly at the welcome party. Confronting her like that. The only chance I had to clear my wrongs and I used it to lash out at her instead, making things worse for myself. Now, she'd never forgive me. And I wouldn't even know if I'd be able to see her, again.I dragged my hand furiously down my face and hastily loosened my tie, expanding the knotted space around my neck while I felt like it was choking me. I felt restless. I stood up from my office chair and began to pace back and forth.Still feeling frustrated, I walked back to my desk and swept everything off the surface, angrily, from paper to files to documents and even the mug of coffee which had been brought for me earlier this morning. "Arghhh!!! Alex, you're so stupid!" I screamed, knocking everything off without a care and the mug fell to the ground, shattering in pieces. I ran my hand through my hair afterwards and pulled at it.I felt

-- Alexander --All over again, the same thing was happening to me. I stared down at her for as long as I could and it was like time itself had stopped. I could hear the sound of my heart beating loud without an ounce of control. I felt dazed just like I had felt at her welcome party. How the fact that she had been so close to me after pulling her to my chest had done wondrous things to my soul. She was the most beautiful creature I'd ever laid my eyes on.Just like the time of the party, I felt like she was feeling the same for me and I wondered if it were my imagination. It was like she stared back at me with just about the same amount of lust in her eyes. I couldn't tell if it were ridiculous to think so. But I felt the strong force to bring my head closer towards her and steal a kiss from her lips. Just to remember how she tasted like. I was dying to remember how her lips felt like against mine.Apart from that, I tried to use a little bit of logic while I shifted from thinking wi

-- Grizelda --The living room felt like the best place to work. I chose to settle into the deep cushions of the sofa, enjoying the soothing, quiet moment of my abode which wrapped around me like a blanket. I should've felt at peace but maybe half at it.A cup of tea which waited for me to take only my third sip, sat on the side table, probably feeling abandoned already. The brightest light came through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the sun casting it's golden hue on every object close by and lighting up the house as much as it could in the day. I had financial reports laid out before me, which I flicked through and tried to focus on. Trying not to be bothered by anything else.The reports were positive, the numbers were good, the projections solid but the constant thoughts that rained in my head wouldn't let me feel at ease.Clearly, my mind pictured on and on the awkward moment Alexander and I had shared yet again. How our eyes had locked for that one very brief moment, stirring up

-- Alexander --The gala was crowded and lively just as I expected it to be. My eyes scanned the room, searching for Grizelda. I finally found her. Thankfully, she was alone. I felt my best shot eagerly waiting for me to take it.From afar, I could easily tell the reason my heart refused to let go. Long before knowing about the wealth she had, there had always been something about her. Something rare. Something to fathom about.Currently, her dark hair hung up, exposing the delicious curve of her fair neck. The perfect elegant shape of her body was thrown into a deep red dress, the kind that commanded attention, the kind that would make any man swoon at a single glance. But it wasn’t just the dress. It was her. The way she carried herself now, like she cared about no one in particular. And why would she? She’d morphed into an unimaginable version of herself. She didn’t need anyone. Not even me.But I knew exactly what I was here for. I started pushing my way toward her and just as I g

-- Alexander --Her lips were soft and supple. Heavenly, just as I imagined them to be. I couldn't have helped it. I snaked my hands around her waist, pressing her tight against me, eager to do much more than that. Eager to sweep her off her feet, making sure that her legs were clutched around my waist while I'd unzip my pants and slide right into her middle. I didn't feel her kiss me back on her own accord, yet I continued while I felt myself losing control.In the end, she pushed her hand against my chest to slowly break the kiss. Her breathing was the opposite of steady as I'd taken most of her breath away and now I watched her try to regain it."Alexander." She whispered my name.I pinched my eyes closed, half expecting a slap to meet me across my face for the stupid action I just made. But nothing came and I opened my eyes. Her eyes were still fixed on me and tears were beginning to rain from them.I felt like I'd just fucked up and the force to regret my actions began to sink in

-- 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

-- 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?

-- 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

-- 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

-- 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 --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
