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
His Mistake, Her Revenge Chapter Sixty Two
-- 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
His Mistake, Her Revenge Chapter Sixty
-- 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
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
