My Billionaire Ex-husband's Greatest Regret

Chapter 2Tessa Ford ~•~ Vanessa? He missed our daughter’s birthday dinner just to go out with that woman? My leg was still glued to that spot as I tried to process what was happening. I still couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Grayson was unbelievable. My eyes burned with rage and I couldn’t even look at the screen anymore. His hands were on her fucking waist! Different thoughts ran through my head and I needed a minute. I turned off the television and grabbed a glass of water. The water didn’t even help to calm the storm that was brewing inside of me. A bitter laugh escaped my lips. “Of course, it was about another woman. His ex-girlfriend, Vanessa.” It felt like the walls were closing in on me and I pressed my palms against the kitchen counter, trying to steady my breathing. Even if the image of them replayed in my head, a part of me wanted to believe that it was just a friendly meeting and it didn’t mean anything. When we started dating, Grayson assured me that Vanessa

Chapter 4Grayson Grant ~•~ I couldn’t believe that Tessa would look me in the face and constantly lie to me. For weeks, I had known about her affair, but I was too scared to confront her. I was scared because I didn’t want her to confirm the truth, it would break me. I had tried my best to move past it because I didn’t want our marriage to end. But I just couldn’t move past it. Tessa knew how much l loved her, she knew how much I adored our family, but she still went ahead to betray me. What she did hurt me badly, that was why I couldn’t even say what it was when she asked me what the problem was. It still baffled me that she tried so hard to act innocent, like she genuinely had no idea what I was talking about. Every word that came out of her mouth felt like another stab to my chest. I just couldn’t take it anymore, so I had to tell her the exact reason why I wanted a divorce.“You cheated on me, Tessa! That’s why I’m ending the marriage!” The words spilled out of my mouth b

Chapter 6Tessa Ford ~•~ “Where are you going? What do you want to do?” I asked, trying to reach out to Grayson’s hands which he pulled away. “Grayson, what do you want to do?” He didn’t say anything, he just got dressed and grabbed his keys. “I don’t owe you an explanation anymore, just sign the papers before I come back in the evening.” I still couldn’t believe what was happening. “Grayson—.” He didn’t even let me complete my statement, he just stormed out of the bedroom. I stood there frozen for a few seconds, still trying to process the entire situation. My eyes shifted to the envelope that was on the bed. He really wanted me to sign those papers? He wanted me to give up on our marriage? Was it that easy for him? I let out a sharp exhale and ran after him. I wanted to stop him. We still had a lot to talk about. Everything was just a misunderstanding and we didn’t have to end our marriage over lies someone else had told him. “Grayson!” I yelled his name as he trudged dow

Chapter 8Tessa Ford ~•~ I picked up the divorce papers from the bed and looked at them. I opened the side drawer and brought out a pen. I forced down the lump that had formed in my throat as my fingers hovered around the paper. Grayson had already signed his part. I wasn’t ready to get divorced. I wasn’t ready to end my marriage. I wasn’t ready to ruin my family. My mind wandered back to Raven. What would happen to her if we ended the marriage? Who would have custody of her? Did Grayson even think of her before signing these papers? I placed the pen on where I would put my signature. It stayed there for a few seconds. But then, I realized I couldn’t do it. I didn’t cheat on Grayson, and we didn’t have to end our marriage just because he thought I betrayed him. The only thing I needed to do was find out who actually told him about it and prove to him that everything was just a lie. Letting out a deep sigh, I shoved the pen back into the drawer and tossed the papers on the b

Chapter 10Tessa Ford ~•~ After the call with my mom ended, I dialed Grayson’s number. I needed to talk to him urgently, because I wanted to try and convince him that nothing had happened between me and Asher Frost. But as soon as the phone started ringing, he ended the call. “Ouch,” I whispered to myself and my chest ached so badly it felt physical. It was clear he didn’t want to talk to me. Maybe he was busy with Vanessa. I thought about tracking him down to wherever he was. It took everything in me to stop myself from doing something that crazy. Just as I was lost in my thoughts, my phone buzzed with a text notification. I glanced at the screen and it was a text from Asher, asking if I was going to show up at the office. I rolled my eyes. He was the reason why I was in that mess. But it wasn’t actually his fault. Anyway, I didn’t respond to his text. I decided to call Grayson’s best friend. I wanted him to help me talk to him and ask if he knew his whereabouts. I didn’t
