His Mistake, Her Revenge Chapter Sixty Seven
-- Grizelda --The night was wasting away and yet sleep hadn't come. I pushed the chair in the room next to the window and sat on it, staring out and above into the sky, staring at the stars. I wondered if I stared at them long enough and tried to count them, then it would make me tired and have heavy eyes that would make me eventually willing to fall asleep.I tried not to think of anything in particular, apart from the stars above, and how beautiful the sky looked. It was sad that I had to do this just to fall asleep. I had no idea this place would affect me that much. The only thing my body had to benefit from it was having no opportunity to skip meals and then being allowed to go right back to bed after that and doing absolutely nothing.So maybe my body was indeed recovering from the absence of stress. But definitely a slow recovery because I doubted my mind wasn't stressed. Which would affect my body too, even if just a little bit.I sighed but then a knock sounded on the door.

-- Alexander --Grizelda sat with us for breakfast. Lucy, Spencer and I. Lucy was always relentless with her death stares, but as usual, Grizelda always ignored them.After breakfast, I followed Grizelda up the staircase, my pace slow and deliberate. She made it seem easy by maintaining an even pace, but I definitely saw the tension in her shoulders, the way she balled her hands into fists at her sides. She knew I was right behind her, and she hated it.So, it was nice to see her take her frustration out on her bedroom door, sharply turning, her back against it, and blocking my entrance. "What do you want?" Her tone was low.I held her gaze. Her eyes were dark and unreadable. "Well, you didn't asnwer my question when I asked over breakfast." I said simply. "I want to help you with work while you recover. Face it or not, you need my help."She let out a sharp, bitter laugh. "I need your help?" She folded her arms across her chest defiantly, lifting her chin. "Like I've been needing sin
His Mistake, Her Revenge Chapter Sixty Five
-- Grizelda --It felt as if the silence wrapped around me like a stifling blanket.Once again, I was unable to sleep. I was sprawled on the large bed, my attention practically glued to the ceiling. It became something that repeated almost every night. Either I found it hard to sleep or I woke up in the middle of the night and found it hard to fall back asleep.There was so much on my mind. I hoped Leo was alright in Margaret's house.And then there was still Vicky's betrayal. The hot disappointment I felt for Jax. My parents. How they would react when they found out about Vicky. And Jax. The Williams company. The much work I still had to do in Vicky's absence.But most of all, the fact that it was still hard to stay comfortably in Alexander’s house because it was nothing like the way it used to be when I once called it home. Alexander's mansion was now a place I felt trapped, no matter how much I tried to find comfort in the cage.Sleep wasn't coming. I felt very tired and my body ac

-- Alexander --I was surprised when Leo ran up to me and said, "Daddy! Will you please take me to see your mother now? I want to visit her today."My heart literally flew up to my throat and got stuck there. I had been sitting in the living room, settled there to focus on watching TV, and Grizelda was there, passing by when he'd decided to hop in front of me, blocking my view and throwing the words straight to my face.I felt myself halfway from having a heart attack. I turned to see her reaction, but she simply looked at me then looked away while she also walked away.Does that mean she approved?"Yes, I told Mom and she said yes." Leo grinned at me as if reading my mind. Then he picked my hands up while he still stood, blocking my view and I still sat and yet, he didn't reach my height. "She's my grandma too, isn't she? I want to spend some time with her. Maybe a couple of days. Maybe a week!"He was saying it like it was something so fun to talk about and I swallowed. "Y–Yeah. Are
His Mistake, Her Revenge Chapter Sixty Three
-- Grizelda --I felt restless, although it was time for me to sleep. Everywhere reeked of past memories. Memories I never ever wished to revisit.The framed painting on the wall made everything worse. I was unable to sleep, unable to think clearly as it triggered past events to flutter in my mind and it made me all the more scared to close my eyes and fall asleep in such an uncomfortable state, lest I dreamt of the old times I spent with Alexander Kingston as my husband then. I couldn't afford to think about the past or even dream about it.I had nothing to do with the past anymore and I had no reason to revisit it. What was in the past was in the past. I had come a long way into the future now, where things were different.There was no us anymore. Hence, there was no need to be reminiscing on the days we were.I raked my fingers through my hair out of frustration and sat upright on the bed. Nothing was helping.This was ridiculous. I couldn't take it anymore. I decided to stand up

-- Alexander --I sat behind the wheel, Grizelda sat in the front seat, Leo sat in the backseat. His mood seemed to have changed. It was a positive one now. As he glanced out the window, he never stopped smiling.I guessed he knew one thing for sure. He was going to be staying at my mansion for a few days. He would get to see me almost everyday, eat the same food I ate, walk the same floors I walked. The thought of that must have made him so excited. But I couldn't tell if he knew just how much that same thought was making Grizelda have a permanent frown on her own face.Her hands were folded as she glanced out the window. She didn't seem cheerful at all. She wouldn't even look at me. I knew for a fact that the only reason she wasn't fighting with me right now was because she had inwardly admitted that she was too weak to do so, but I could imagine a storm coming for me later.I swallowed as I gripped the steering tight. It didn't matter. As long as I cared about her safety.Nothing w

-- Grizelda --The wordings on my laptop screen doubled. I rubbed my eyes, fighting back the feeling of dizziness. I returned my fingers over the keyboard, proceeding to continue typing, but my head felt heavy once again. I swallowed hard, the suffocating presence of fatigue threatening to completely kick out the air out of my lungs."Ms. Williams, are you there?" My caller on the other end refused to take a pause, unaware of my struggles at trying to keep up with what we were discussing. "Your response is urgently needed. The investors might have no room for delay—""I know." My voice came out sharp, yet a thin escape from sounding weak and hoarse. "I’ll go on with drafting the final decision now and have it ready within the next hour."That was a lie. I knew I couldn't do it. There was no way in hell I could do it. But there was no escaping this. I'd told Vicky to stay away from me and my family and she'd listened. She didn't show up at work either, leaving me to handle all the work

-- Alexander --I cocked an eyebrow when I saw Jax’s text that same night.He wanted us to meet somewhere and have a talk.I contemplated within myself if it was worth it before I proceeded into the bathroom to take a shower.Eventually, I arrived at the planned location before him, my eyes glancing around as I waited. The glass that I was drinking from had ice and it had rendered some of the ice cubes on the surface of the water to begin to dissolve, however I was not at all willing to drink.Jax showed up, however. He took the empty seat opposite me immediately, his look no longer resembling the self-satisfied, scheming type. Instead, it resembled one that contained at least an aspect of desperation. With his elbows supporting him on the shining wood, he leaned toward me, his eyes shining with something mixed with malevolence and forced politics."I'll cut straight to the point since you know why I'm here, Kingston. Let's not pretend that we don't know your sole reason for wanting t
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
