Chapter 10

Tessa 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

    Chapter 167Grayson Grant ~•~‘She finally said yes.’ Time seemed to freeze around me and my breath vanished as I read the caption on Zane’s new social media post. He didn’t show Tessa’s full face. He didn’t need to. Even from a mile away, I could recognize Tessa. My phone felt heavy in my hand. My chest tightened as a single, terrible question lodged itself in my mind. What did she say yes to? Getting married? I blinked hard, hoping I’d read it wrong. What the hell was going on? Didn’t they just meet each other like yesterday? Why were they moving really fast? I thought about calling Tessa. She told me she was really busy with work, but she lied to me. Tessa was busy preparing to go out with someone instead. I couldn’t understand why she lied to me. I was certain that her date wasn’t even over. Letting out a deep sigh, I looked at the picture and zoomed in on it. I wanted to figure out which restaurant they were having dinner at. But I couldn’t figure it out from tha

    Chapter 166Tessa Ford ~•~“What do you want to talk about? I’m in the middle of something,” I asked Grayson as I applied foundation on my face. I was getting ready for dinner with Zane, and I didn’t need any distractions. “The nightclub. We have an official opening now, and I wanted to ask if you would want to attend.” My heart leaped for joy. “Are you serious?” I asked as if I didn’t hear him correctly the first time. “Yes. It feels so surreal because it took so much time. At some point, I even thought about giving up on it.” “I’m glad you didn’t,” I replied with a smile on my face. Ever since I advised Grayson not to listen to Vito when he threatened to report him to the authorities, I’d been scared. Vito was really upset when Grayson refused to give in to his impromptu demands. What if he had made things worse for Grayson? The fear had sat at the back of my mind for days. I felt like there was a bomb that was waiting to explode. But I felt relieved knowing that the compa

    Chapter 165Tessa Ford ~•~“You really went one week without speaking to me? Now you’re showing up at my door for what?” I couldn’t hide the irritation in my voice as I glanced at Zane from head to toe. After he humiliated me at his office, I didn’t bother calling him anymore even though I was really tempted to. Every time my phone buzzed, I hoped it was from him, only to be disappointed when it turned out to be someone else. He didn’t bother to reach out to me. No calls. No texts. No nothing. But he wanted me to open my doors to him. “Tessa, you needed to see things from my point of view,” he replied, his voice almost a whisper. “Just let me inside so we can talk.” “Talk?” I scoffed bitterly. “Talk about what? When I went to your office to find you, you threatened to fire your receptionist because of me.” His face fell and he let out a defeated sigh. “I know, but I was hurting and I needed space.” I rolled my eyes. “Grown men don’t behave the way you did. Grown men communicat

    Chapter 164Tessa Ford ~•~As I pulled into Zane’s driveway, I groaned and dropped my head against the steering wheel. What was I doing? What kind of woman had I become? Showing up at his office just because he refused to answer my calls or texts felt reckless.But I couldn’t stop myself. His silence was killing me. I stepped out of the car and made my way to the building. The receptionist asked me to wait in the lobby after I told her I wanted to see Zane. I was happy that he was at work. A few minutes later, she called me back and told me that Zane was swamped and wouldn’t be able to see me. My stomach dropped. He really didn’t want to talk to me. I knew he wasn’t swamped, it was just an excuse to make me leave. But I wasn’t leaving until I spoke to him. I didn’t drive all the way down to his company just to be ignored. “Please, can you tell him that it’s really important?” I begged, my voice almost cracked. She let out a deep sigh. “I don’t think it’s going to change an

    Chapter 163Grayson Grant ~•~My chest ached as if something inside me had cracked. I thought I’d finally found a way to get Tessa back to me, but I only made things worse. Back at the restaurant, I could tell that she was pretty upset and jealous, even if I didn’t admit it to Davina. Throughout the night, I kept thinking about Tessa. I wanted to call her that night, but I decided to wait until it was morning. I thought our conversation would end with both of us confessing that we still had feelings for each other, but Tessa caught me off guard. All of a sudden, she started acting like she wasn’t bothered by my date anymore, and my chest twisted painfully when she mentioned that Zane was in the picture after I talked about feelings. When I saw the blog post earlier, I was the happiest person. I was so certain that it would cause a rift between her and Zane. But I was disappointed when she told me that everything was good between them. I knew I had been acting nonchalant and tr

    Chapter 162Tessa Ford ~•~After dropping the kids off at school, I went straight to my office. I had a lot to work on, but the entire time I was distracted. I kept looking at my phone, I was hoping I would get a text from Zane. Or even from Grayson. It felt like I was about to lose my mind. But still, I forced myself to work on the dresses that I had to deliver to clients in a few days. After about three hours, I took a break. I had a quick snack and also tried calling Zane for the umpteenth time. I rolled my eyes when the call went straight to voicemail. What was I even expecting? Why did I think it would be different? Frustrated, I tossed my phone on the desk and grabbed a bottle of water. Just as I was about to open the bottle cap, my phone rang. I dropped the bottle quickly and reached for my phone. I thought it was Zane who was finally calling back but I was wrong. “Hey,” I whispered as the call connected. “I wanted to wait for you to cool down before reaching out to
