Chapter 118

Tessa Ford

~•~

I felt so helpless.

I didn’t even know what to do.

After the call with Grayson, the knot in my chest became tighter. I knew that Grayson was keeping something from me.

But I didn’t ask further questions.

As I paced back and forth around the room, my phone started ringing. A disappointed sigh escaped my lips when I saw that it was Zane.

I honestly expected it to be Grayson, or anyone else who could have positive information about my daughter.

“Hey…” I couldn’t hide the sadness in my voice.

“Tessa, how’s everything going? Has Jade been found?” Zane’s concerned voice echoed from the other end of the line.

I sighed heavily. “No…” my voice cracked. “Nobody has heard anything,” I added.

“Damn,” Zane muttered under his breath. “I’m so sorry.”

I didn’t respond.

“Is there anything I can do to help?” He continued.

I shrugged my shoulders. What could he possibly do to help find my daughter?

“Zane… Grayson thinks that you might be behind it.” The words lef

    Chapter 149Tessa Ford ~•~“I’m going to miss you, mama.” Jade held onto me as if her life depended on it. “Why can’t you take us with you?” She groaned. I smiled softly. “Because you have school and the trip isn’t for kids.” Jack frowned. “Why didn’t you wait until school was over and take us to a place where kids are allowed?” He demanded, his voice filled with frustration. I couldn’t help but laugh. “Don’t worry, I’ll take you guys on a trip during the holiday,” I promised. “This one is just for a few days.” “Pinky promise?" Jade asked as she stretched out her little finger so I would seal the promise. I nodded. “Yes, baby.” After we interlocked our fingers together, she let out a defeated sigh. “You’ll call us every day, right?” “Of course, I will.” Grayson was at the front door, waiting for us to say our goodbyes. When we were finally done, I led the kids to the door. They went into the house, leaving Grayson and me alone. “So you’re really going on a trip with him, huh

    Chapter 148Grayson Grant ~•~I knew that if I wanted Tessa back, I needed to stop doing things that would annoy her — like controlling my temper.And I failed woefully at that part when I saw Zane. I crashed out and almost ruined the kid’s party. I spent the whole night reflecting on my actions and how I could have handled the situation better. When I woke up in the morning, the first thing that came to my mind was to apologize to Tessa. But when I told her that I called to apologize, she sounded shocked and was taken aback by it. “What do you mean? What behavior?” The surprise in her voice was clear. “What are you talking about?” A sharp exhale escaped my lips. “It’s about what happened with Zane. I shouldn’t have behaved that way,” I admitted quietly. “I’m sorry about everything.” Tessa was silent for a while. “Grayson, what has gotten into you?” She asked with a soft chuckle. “I know you can apologize about certain things, but not about Zane. What happened?” I couldn’t te

    Chapter 147Tessa Ford ~•~“Ever since I came into your life, have you had anything intimate to do with him?” “No.” The lie left my mouth before I could even think about it, smooth and automatic, like a reflex I’d perfected over the weeks. Zane didn’t respond right away. “Are you sure?” He asked. My heart thudded painfully against my ribs. Why did I just lie to him? And what if he already knew the answer because Grayson had thrown it at his face or something? I hesitated. Then I let out a deep exhale. “I’m sure,” I lied again. I hated myself for lying but I was certain that Zane wouldn’t be able to handle the truth. I mean, he got upset the last time just because I told him that I had something planned with Grayson. This time around, he would lose his mind and wouldn’t want to talk to me anymore. Maybe lying to him was the best option. And I didn’t think Grayson had bragged to him about kissing me already. After the scene at the party, they hadn’t seen each other, so it was

    Chapter 146Tessa Ford ~•~By the time the party was over, everyone was exhausted. But the kids couldn’t stop talking about how much fun they had. At the end, I was grateful that the day wasn’t ruined even if Sabine tried her best to sabotage everything. Grayson offered to take the kids to his house, but I refused. After what happened earlier, I wanted them by my side. It was a good thing that they didn’t insist on following him because I would have lost my mind. After a short ride, we arrived at the house. I got the kids ready for bed because it was already late. They didn’t have dinner because they had so much to eat at their party. I honestly wasn’t in the mood to make anything either. Soon enough, I’d tucked them in bed and made my way to the bedroom. As I shut the door behind me, I sat down on the edge of the bed and dragged my palm down my face. I sat there for a while before I reached out for my phone. I wanted to check up on Nora and remind her that she had something

    Chapter 145Grayson Grant ~•~I couldn’t control my emotions even if I tried. I didn’t want to create a scene at the kids’ party but at the same time, I couldn’t ignore Zane. He really had some nerve showing up at the venue. Tessa claimed that she didn’t invite him, but I didn’t believe her. Seeing Zane brought back certain emotions that I had been struggling to suppress. He didn’t only steal my clients and my employees, he also stole my wife. He took Tessa away from me. At that moment, Zane was the person I hated the most. I even preferred Vito over him. I needed to figure out something that he cared about — not work-related, and take it away from him.Maybe then, he would realize the gravity of what he was doing to me. I still didn’t understand why Tessa would believe that he was genuinely interested in her. Zane only approached her just to get to me. I’d told her about it multiple times but she felt that I was just speaking from a place of jealousy. But she was wrong. I wa

    Chapter 144Tessa Ford ~•~Zane. What was Zane doing at the party? We weren’t even speaking. And I didn’t invite him. I knew that Grayson wouldn’t be happy about him being there, so I didn’t bother to tell him about the party. I didn’t even want to start thinking about the chaos that was about to happen. I had tried so hard not to ruin the kid’s party, and wasn’t about to let two grown men with massive egos make everything crumble. “Did you invite him?” Nora asked with a hint of amusement in her voice. I shook my head, letting out a scoff. “No, I wouldn’t invite him… we aren’t even speaking.” Nora’s eyes widened. “Why?” I sighed. “That’s a story for another time,” I said as I stood up from the chair. “I need to get over there before things escalate.” Nora nodded in agreement. “Yeah, you should.” Letting out multiple deep breaths, I made my way to the entrance. “What’s going on here?” I demanded, my eyes darting between Grayson and Zane. Grayson didn’t let Zane set foot in
