Chapter 138

Grayson Grant

~•~

“Do you think I should just buy a nightclub or start from scratch?” I asked Tessa as we drove around the city to look for different properties.

She paused to think for a moment. “I think you should just start from scratch. It would be better that way.”

“Why?” I glanced at her for a second before shifting my gaze back to the road.

“I don’t know. I just feel it’s better that way because a third party won’t be involved. And it’s less risky.”

She had a point.

We stopped at the different locations that an agent had sent us. Everything was nice — the location, the size, the buildings, everything.

It was a difficult task picking just one.

But eventually, I made a decision.

I paid for the place immediately and also made arrangements for the work to begin the next day.

I felt a little bit relieved because I was one step closer to saving my company. The thought of the authorities finding out about the illegal stuff happening there made me restless and ner

    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

    Chapter 143Tessa Ford ~•~The party had already started by the time we arrived at the venue. My heart melted as I saw the kids having fun. I scanned through the crowd to find Nora. I let out a deep breath as I finally saw her. After a moment, I walked up to her. “Hey.” My voice was barely above a whisper. Nora exhaled sharply. “Hey.” “Thank you for showing up and keeping the party running,” I continued, my voice sincere. I was really grateful that she put our differences aside to make the kids happy even without my presence. Nora forced a smile. “It’s fine, Tessa… I’m sorry about your sister and all her silly shenanigans.” I laughed. “Sabine is going to get what is coming for her this time around.” Nora and I were silent for a while. Suddenly, she pulled me into a warm hug. “I’m sorry about everything. I’m sorry that I was being cold and distant towards you.” Her apology meant a lot to me and I was happy that she was finally apologizing. I missed my best friend badly. S

    Chapter 142Tessa Ford ~•~‘Now you know how it feels to steal something from someone.’ That was the sentence they were clinging to — the one Sabine had twisted into a confession and handed to the police. But I never admitted to stealing her designs. I never admitted to stealing her clients either. Those words were being taken out of context. I had no idea she was even recording our conversation. I’d done it in anger. In frustration. In a moment when I was tired of being accused of things I hadn’t done. It wasn’t a confession. But here I was, sitting in a cold room that smells like disinfectant and being treated like a criminal over a lie.I leaned back against the chair and closed my eyes, forcing myself to stay calm. Because if I let the panic take over, I would lose myself completely. Sabine had planned this. She had everything perfectly planned. She intentionally made it happen on my children’s birthday. Her cruelty still baffled me. I couldn’t believe that she was the

    Chapter 141Grayson Grant ~•~“What on earth is wrong with you?” I asked through gritted teeth as Sabine finally answered the call. She hesitated for a moment before she responded. “Wait, am I late for the party or what? Don’t worry, Amelia will be there as soon as possible.” I had called Sabine earlier to ask her to bring Amelia over to the party because the kids wanted her there, but Sabine knew damn well that wasn’t the reason I was calling her. She was just acting oblivious and being a bitch. I couldn’t hold back a scoff. “Why did you have Tessa arrested on an important day like this?” I demanded, my voice dripping with accusation. “Oh,” she let out a low sigh. “Tessa stole my designs, and I warned her. So you can’t blame me for trying to get justice.” I snorted. “Justice? On that kids’ birthday party?” I shook my head in disappointment. I wasn’t even surprised. “Are you forgetting that she’s your sister?” Sabine hissed. “Then she would have listened to me when I went to

    Chapter 140Grayson Grant ~•~I still hadn’t been able to open the new nightclub. Not because I didn’t own it. I did. The papers were already signed. The full amount was paid. I even had the keys to the building. But the city had stepped in. A few days after I finalized everything, they flagged the building for inspection. They claimed that previous owners skipped some safety approvals during renovation. They wouldn’t let me open until everything was checked and approved again. And God, it was taking so much time. Even my money and connections couldn’t help me. I had no choice but to wait. And that meant that I had to continue laundering money through my company. It made me restless and gave me sleepless nights. I kept on imagining that one day, the authorities would walk up to me and apprehend me if they found out. Most of the time, I shoved those thoughts aside and forced myself to be optimistic. I hoped that I would get the nightclub running soon and that my company would b

    Chapter 139Tessa Ford~•~My heart melted as I watched Jack and Jade make their birthday wishes with their eyes closed. After they blew out the candles, I dropped the small cake I’d spent the night baking on the table and pulled them into a warm hug. Everything still felt so surreal. I couldn’t believe that my babies were growing bigger and bigger every day. And with everything that had happened this past month, we were still standing. “Thank you, mama,” Jade whispered in my ear.“We love you, mama,” Jack added. As I watched them, I couldn’t help but reminisce about the day they were born. I felt all alone and at some point, I thought I couldn’t do it anymore. I wanted to die — I’d never admitted that out loud. But when I eventually gave birth and saw my beautiful babies, I knew I made the right decision by having them. But I wasn’t ready for the sleepless nights that came with newborns. It wasn’t an easy task doing it alone. Most times, I wished things hadn’t gone wrong betw
