GREYSON'S POV "That will be enough for today, this meeting has concluded," I said to my board of directors, and then I leaned against my executive chair as everyone dispersed back to whatever was keeping them busy before finding something to do.My personal assistance device could see that there was a troubled expression on my face and then he asked me what the problem was. I looked at him and then my tiredness had collapsed into my palms before I laid back again against my chair. "I don't think you will be able to help with this, Davis." I said honestly to him for the past few weeks I have been doing everything possible to make that woman frustrated and hate me. I had expected her to stop begging me for a divorce that I was going to deny her anyways but instead, she will wake up and still treat me normally the way she did before. She wouldn't go to bed no matter how late it was in the night that I will arrive back, and she wouldn't even take a single bite of her food until I had
CALISTA POV"Just how useless can you be? I gave you only one job! just one job and you can't even do that right!I was looking at my husband as he scolded me as if I was some kind of child and my eyes bent down to the floor. He had woken me up too early this morning and I didn't mean around 8:00 in the morning. I meant around 4:30 sharp here, shaking me awake and the bed, and then told me that I should start preparing his clothes for when he will go to the office. "I go to the office and make money for all of us in this place the least you can do is prepare myself for me," he said to me I had a glance at the wall clock and seeing the atrocious time that he was telling me to hook up I did not even complain about that but I just pleaded that he at least allow me to sleep even if it was just for a few seconds."Sleep? Just how inconsiderate can you be? I asked you to do one thing most wives would be glad to do for their husband instead of just being an ornament in the house: "Will you
CALISTA'S POV "Waitress, we want another bottle here!" "I'm coming!" I can't believe that I'm only doing this right now, after my husband wants all the clothes that I had but at least the suitable ones that I can wear and pretend like I wasn't living ia miserable life I ended up getting the job that I didn't want to in the first place so that I will be able to take care of my needs. Since my husband said that because that we parents were not still enough to compensate for that one suit of his he also cut off my monthly allowance and said that I was banned from going to the kitchen to prepare any food for myself with what was available there. So even if I was the Queen Luna I still had to work like a servant, my in-laws had heard rumors about this add my mother-in-law Jasmine was the one that visited me the most asking how I was doing and concerning his remarks as well and whenever my husband know that she was coming to visit he will get me all dolled up and dressed properly so
GREYSON'S POV I was in my office that day when suddenly I was given a visit by a friend close to my late mate. Many people often called them sisters because of how similar they had looked before in the past, I never really saw that similarity but other people seem to be obsessed with it. However, we had a really friendly relationship and when she dropped by and asked me for some drinks I didn't see any reason to refuse her. There were very few people that I could ever talk about my late wife with and she was one of those few people so as we were driving over to a bar after I had concluded my work for the day we reminisced some wonderful memories that were somehow bittersweet now that I knew that my mate was dead."I'm sorry that I couldn't make it to your wedding. I was so cramped with work at that time but I decided to finally make some time for you to come and congratulate you. I hope it's not too late…" A cold disgusted shiver across my body as I thought about that woman that
CALISTA'S POVSo this is where it will finally end. I told myself as the incoming vehicle was approaching at such incredible speed that my body was so frozen with fear that even attempting to move out of the way left my mind completely and I just waited for an inevitable fate.And then I saw a lightning bolt travel across the sky as I closed my eyes and waited for the impact of the car when it finally hit me but then I felt a different kind of impact as I was landing. When I finally opened my eyes, I instinctively shut closed when I saw the car coming towards me, and there was blood spilled all over the road but it wasn't mine. It was my husband's. He must have pushed me out of the way of the car and then taking the impact himself I tried to get up on my feet but it felt like it had been dislocated but disregarding that I still dragging my feet until I was more of crawling rather than working until then I was finally next to him and I held him in my hands like a baby."Greyson….!" I
GREYSON'S POVMy wife and I arrived from the hospital after two more days of treatment. My parents had come to see the both of us but I have been so distracted by my thoughts that I could not even fully recognize when they came and left.But I made sure to leave the hospital before my wife after checking up on her because I knew that she was not going to leave until I joined her in the car and I didn't want to do that. I didn't know how I was going to face her and look her in the eye anymore. When I finally regain consciousness it was with the information that Calista had donated blood for me to the point that she passed out even though she herself had dislocated her leg, it was Leon who told me and I spent five seconds looking at him like a complete fool my mouth open with shock unable to process the information that had been given to me. And since that time till I finally went back to the palace I only had one question in my mind: why? I had treated her even worse than trash I hav
CALISTA'S POVI watched disappointment clock my husband's entire face when we finally arrived at the destination that I was speaking so proudly of and I felt kind of embarrassed but I didn't want to show it so easily I have been so thrilled when the maid came to call me as I was walking out of my shower that my husband wanted to eat with me.And then the moment he told me that he had cleared his entire schedule just for me- well he didn't exactly say he played his entire schedule he said he was free and asked what I wanted to do but they both translated in my brain the same way and I had gotten too excited and immediately said it the first thing that popped into my mind which seems like a bad idea because he didn't look pleased at all. After we bought our tickets and got him he looked like he could no longer hold his displeasure all into himself and turned to look down at me. "So this was your choice?" he asked me with an incredulous tone lacing his words and I felt like digging up
CALISTA'S POV I had not expected a lot of things to happen today, but the surprise that definitely topped the rest was my husband telling me that he wanted a divorce after what seemed like a perfect date. I stared at him with my mouth wide open because my jaw was too weak to keep it closed. My brain and my mouth battled together to think of the most suitable thing to say at that moment but nothing made any sense at all and I was still trying to wrap my head around what he said in the first place he wanted the divorce. Why? We have been getting along so well and today I was filled with so much laughter and smiles. He had even just kissed me just now and now he was asking for a divorce out of the blue? He hadn't asked for a divorce when he was treating me like trash but now that things were finally looking up he wanted to end our relationship. As he was attempting to come down from the Ferris wheel I pulled him back in with all the strength that was in my hand and of course that w
Epilogue Calista pov "Kids don't get so close to the water!" "Don't worry Mom, we aren't that close!" I eased my back into my reclining chair with a groan. "Gosh, they can be so stubborn at times... I wonder who they take it from," I said looking at my husband and he smiled back at me his eyes sparkling through his sunglasses. "Come on, sweetheart, you know they take it from the both of us." "Actually..." I was about to deny it and then just resigned to my fate trying to enjoy the sun at the beach, my eyes straight over to the beach as I saw my three children friends playing together and the sight alone was enough to make my heart immediately bubble-up with joy. When I was much younger I remembered Bella and her parents getting ready for the beach but I was never allowed to come with them on the rare occasion that I was actually allowed to come along. It was just to be their maid. I honestly thought that I would never have a family of my own. I sighed, this was going to mak
Calista povI was really planning to wait for the police but that was until I heard the cry of my children coming from inside the warehouse that I had traced Bella's phone to. Unable to hold myself back anymore I decided to enter inside of the warehouse through a back entrance. I had actually been familiar with this place before when I had first married my husband, however the business here had eventually collapsed and it was abandoned so I knew a secret entrance in the back way.The place was now so abandoned that trees were even going around it and it looked like a miniature wood, this proves to be in my advantage eventually because when I went to the back I was able to pick up a dead branch and then when I saw some thugs that wear circulating around the place probably as good as I was able to knock both of them cold with the branch that I had the second one proved to be a bit of a problem so I had to hit him a couple of times but when I checked out he was still breathing.My throat
Grey povAt my very last breath I told my brother to leave because I was not going to tolerate any of his nonsense anymore however instead of shutting up right there I'm turning around while he stroke his head what he just said to is something I could not bring out of my head he then said that there was no need for me to be in denial that Calista had never been satisfied by me and so she went over to see a real man that could do it.And that was indeed the last straw that broke the camel's back the next thing that happened was that I instantly zoomed over my office until I was standing right in front of him and before he could even blink his eyes I grabbed him and pulled it up squeeze his neck so tight that he could barely even breathe and he was kicking his legs about but I just kept on squeezing him my mind was telling me that if I just put in a little more effort his oxygen supply will be completely cut off and then he will just die.Revenge that had been driving me for what felt l
Grey's pov Even when I was keeping an expressionless face everything inside of me was telling me to brush this woman's head against the side of the wall but it's that I was somehow able to keep myself and I remembered everything that Calista had told me about how I was always losing my temper but this was a lot for a man to bare and when she finally said that the children beautiful twins that Calista were not actually mine. I was ready to squash her skull at this point then Calista came forward with her hands planted on her hips and then she asked Bella what was the source of that horrible accusation that was when she presented the contents of the envelope stating that it was a DNA result between me and the children and then she said that it was more than enough proof to show that I was not the father of them. I took the envelope and I looked at the contents then after I was done doing so I really began to shred the paper up as if it was nothing and so it this woman was nothing mo
Calista povThe fury that was coming out of him right now could be felt from a mile away and I thought that I was going to suffocate by just looking at him I have seen my husband angry before ulcer of many of the times does anger was directed at me but I had never seen him this furious this bloodthirsty and I knew that stiff look in his eyes he wasn't joking at all when he said that he was going to kill both his twin brother and Bella. But I just couldn't let that happen because nobody would even care about the crimes that have been committed behind the closed door if he killed them rather the only thing that will be advertised on was the murder that everyone was going to witness because I seriously doubt it when he said that he was going to murder them even if they were in a public place or not with the way his eyes were burning with fury which was exactly why I could not let him go.I tried to tell him that they were definitely going to get what's coming to them and then we began t
Calista pov The drive back to the palace was not as quiet as the one into my father's house because as soon as we were far enough from my father's house Gray asked me what my plan was after we had gotten all the information we needed on Bella, and she eventually got the punishment that she deserved.I was looking out the window screen at that moment when he asked the question trying to ignore him but I decided that if I didn't answer him he was just going to keep talking about it throughout the entire ride back to the palace so admitted to him that I was going to have a simple life with my kids and raise them alone he almost packed abruptly if it wasn't for observation that we were in a busy road then his eyes were over to me as he asked me what I meant by that. I looked at him straight in the eyes and told him that I meant every single word that I said and I seriously doubted that it needed any kind of explanation.His voice suddenly rose not in anger but it was definitely rising, h
Calista povI really miss to the days that I see my children all the time at least I didn't have to wait for literally weeks before I could look at them it could be a handful at times but when I didn't see them like this always feel anxious it was only the fact that they were under the care of their grandfather that made me able to sleep at night if not I would have been so troubled if they were actually in this Palace with Bella next door.After realizing that this woman was actually capable of poisoning her own son it would be no surprise to me at all if she attempted the same thing on my children and I was not going to let her get the chance to do something so horrible.While we were leaving the palace Grey said that we should take one of his less more conspicuous cars and that he was going to drive I really didn't care who drove as long as we got to see my children then when we8 approaching the car he went ahead of me and open the door to the front seat I just passed him by and we
Calista pov "I'm going to see my children today," I told Grey. He responded by his face contouring up with confusion though I don't understand what was so perplexing about what I just said. I had come to his room with the intention of taking his laundry to wash while I was actually there to tell him that I was going to see my children that very day. There was also another reason why I came here but this was one I was telling him about for now.He have been looking at me so expectantly the moment I walked in as if he was expecting me to jump right into the bed with him I could even see how he was intentionally closing on the way to attract me so I intentionally kept my eyes away from him but the time I was actually looking at him he seemed so frustrated but I was ignoring him."Don't you think it will be better if we visit the kids together?" He said suggestively and I mused on his idea then after a couple of seconds I shook my head negatively showing that I was not interested in tha
Calista pov The next day did not go exactly how as we planned it it was almost as if we have forgotten that the nanny was supposed to take care of the son because that was the worst timing possible the child fell sick, meaning that she was not allowed to leave his side for the entire day as he was not going to school so she would have to cater for his needs the whole day.The night before I had actually given her my number in the living room so that we will be able to communicate without meeting each other physically and avoiding the situation where I have to hide in the wardrobe from Bella she called me and it seemed as if she was about to burst into tears when she confessed that the child had suddenly fallen ill and she had to take care of him for the whole day.Just like that the time that I have been relying on since last night after she was shouted at by Bella but then I asked her to explain exactly what Bella did as usual she was a little hesitant but this time it was easier fo
