His Mistake, Her Revenge Chapter Thirty One
-- Alexander --I checked my wrist watch as I rested against my car.Any moment now.The school bell finally rang. The chime echoed through the air which signaled the end of another school day. Children flooded out of the building in a rush of backpacks and laughter.I shifted against my car. My gaze was fixed on the school gate. It was the same routine I had grown used to over the past few weeks but today, there was a flutter of anticipation in my chest.I was here for Spencer. Not entirely.Don’t get me wrong. I cared about the boy. I couldn’t bring myself to treat him as anything less than my son. My newfound enthusiasm for picking him up from school stemmed from someone else entirely.Leo.His hazel colored eyes mirrored mine. His hair was blonde as mine. There was something about him that drew me in, an invisible string pulling me closer. Each time I saw him, I felt a connection and warmth I couldn’t quite put my finger on. It was undeniable now. He was my son, though he didn’t

-- Grizelda --I barely registered the slight buzz of the television as I sat on the couch. I had a book in my laps as I watched Leo play with his building blocks. He was unusually quiet today, though I didn’t press him about it. He had these moments where he would just stare vacantly into space and be completely lost in his own little world. I had learned to let him come to me when he was ready.“Mom,” his voice cut through the silence.“Yes, sweetheart?” I concentrated my gaze on him.He placed a block carefully on top of his tower with more concentration than was needed. I could see his hesitation. Whatever he wanted to tell me was obviously a big deal to him.“I don’t think Spencer is Mr. Kingston’s real son.” His voice was low and deliberate.I blinked as my heart skipped a beat. “What? What will make you say something like that?”Leo shrugged as he maintained his concentration on the blocks. “They don’t look alike. Think about it.” He glanced at me briefly. His hazel eyes shone

-- Alexander --The email I just read had knocked the air out of me.Grizelda had invited me to lunch. I pinched myself and yes I wasn’t dreaming.Initially, I thought it was some kind of mistake or some trap of sorts but the words were clear and left no room for errors.'Alexander, We need to talk. I’ll meet you at Pellegrino’s at noon, tomorrow. I’m sure you still remember where it is.'The message was short, calm, and contained no hostility. It left me stunned. I sighed deeply.Grizelda wanted to talk to me? After all the years of silence and distance, she was willing to sit down with me?There must be an angle I was not seeing. She had a play here. I’m sure she did.I tossed around in my bed that night. I was too tensed to sleep. I burnt calories thinking of what she wanted to talk about. As daylight got closer, I felt my tension slowly turn to excitement.I got to Pellegrino’s earlier then she stated. My heart palpitations were through the roof as I entered its familiar space. Th

-- Alexander --The drive home was terrible. My conversation with Grizelda tugged at my heart. I was angry, sad and filled with a hardened resolve to confront Lucy. Lucy had blocked her. She had deliberately kept Grizelda from reaching out to me and giving me news about Leo. I had swallowed everything Lucy had done but not this time.I wasn’t without blame either. For years, I had known that Spencer wasn’t my biological son. I agreed to Lucy’s plan because it was very convenient at the time. It was the only way I could give my mother what she wanted; a grandchild. How could I tell her that her son was infertile?I wasn’t comfortable with the arrangement anymore after realizing the cost Lucy made me pay without my knowledge.I needed to make this right. I had allowed myself to live in the shadow of her lies for far too long. I accepted her version of our reality without questioning it. That ends now.As I walked into the house, the sound of laughter from the television greeted me.Luc

-- Grizelda --The hospital room was dark and quiet with the faint hum of machines the only sound in the room.I almost changed my mind from coming here. I didn't know if he would want me around after all that happened the last time we spoke. I casted all those thoughts aside and raced down to the hospital immediately I got the news about his mother's collapse.I found him sitting on a chair inside as I stood at the doorway for a bit. He leaned forward, his elbows were on his knees and his eyes had bags underneath them. His shoulders bore evidence of the weight he carried in his heart. I felt a stab of pain in my chest as I saw him like that."Alexander," I called out softly and walked towards him.He turned slowly and looked at me. I could see fatigue and misery in his eyes. I blinked back the tears that were about forming in my eyes because memories from when we were still together came flooding in. When I would be there for him in similar situations and he would be there for me in

-- Alexander --The strong smell of sanitizer hung in the air as I sat down beside my mother's bed. I had barely touched the food beside me. All my attention was on her. I watched her chest fall and rise in rhythm as she breathed. She looked frail and old. The woman I saw on the bed was far from the vibrant assertive woman that I had known my whole life.The doctor already said she would gain consciousness anytime soon but it didn't make it any easier for me. The message on her phone was stuck in my head.'Spencer is not your real grandson. Your son has been lying to you. He's impotent and will never give you a grandchild.'My stomach twisted every time I thought about it. Whoever sent that message had done more damage in one moment than I could ever hope to repair."Alex?" My mother called out with a faint voice. I leaned forward towards to her, my heart beating faster."Mom," I called her, relief flooded my cells. She blinked several times in a bid to focus her vision. She finally f

-- Grizelda --I was folding laundry and shuffling my feet to music from my sound system, when I heard the knock on the door. I stopped and listened. I wasn't expecting anybody today. The knock was consistent and sharp. The visitor was rather impatient.I frowned as I wondered who that could be. I imagined Vicky being the one. It could be her. I dropped the semi folded clothes in my hands and made for the door.I opened the door and came face to face to the last person I ever expected see. Alexander's mother. She stood in front of me with a proud stance and a disdainful look on her face.How did I not know not know that was finally discharged from the hospital? Alexander should have told me, but he didn't. At least, I expected him to, considering our last encounter. Unless he was still sad about everything I told him.His mother sized me from head to toe with that look of disdain permanently etched on her face.I decided to play it cool. It was obvious she was here for a fight and I w

-- Grizelda --Sleep was worlds away from me as I tossed on the bed. I turned and checked the time. It was 5.55 AM. My head kept racing. She actually went through with it. The court papers kept flashing through my head.I read the summons and my heart felt like it was being overrun. The writing was cold and threatened to overwhelm me. I told myself that no court was going to give custody of Leo to her. It just didn’t make any sense. It wasn’t enough, the fear still lingered. I could feel it creeping slowly into my mind like something I couldn’t escape.I sat up on my bed. I could see the first light of dawn coming up the horizon. My room instantly felt too small to contain the storm that threatened to spill over inside me. I stood up and made my way to the kitchen. I hoped a cup of coffee might be able to make me relax.The silence of the house was broken by the gentle whisper of the kettle. I rested my body against the kitchen counter and just stared lazily at the vapor escaping from

-- 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
His Mistake, Her Revenge Chapter Fifty Eight
-- 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
His Mistake, Her Revenge Chapter Fifty Five
-- 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
