LOGINChapter 154Tessa Ford ~•~Zane and I ended up spending a week in Paris. When it was time to leave, I didn’t want to, but I knew I had to because I had to see my kids and resume my job. Paris was such a beautiful city and I was glad that I got to experience it with a sweet man like Zane. When we got back to New York, he dropped me off at the house. He spent a few minutes with me before he left. “I already miss you,” I said softly as the call connected. Zane laughed. “I just left a few minutes ago.” I nodded out of habit. “I know, but I still miss you.” Zane was silent for a while. “Let’s get our lives here back on track and we can see each other again.” “Sure.” We talked for a while. I had to end the call because Jack and Jade were waiting for me to pick them up from Grayson’s house. For some weird, unknown reason, they claimed they didn’t want their dad to drop them off and insisted I’d be the one to pick them up myself. I didn’t argue. I just wanted to see my kids. Aft
Chapter 153Grayson Grant ~•~“They went on a fucking private jet!” I punched the wall in frustration. “Why didn’t I think of that?” I asked Ethan as if he had all the answers to the question. Ethan sighed. “Calm down, Grayson. You don’t want the kids to hear you.” “I should calm down?” I asked with a scoff. “For all I know, they could be having sex on that jet right now. I can’t be calm when I know that my Tessa is with another man.” “Even if you don’t want to stay calm, just reduce your voice,” Ethan replied. “And you don’t know for sure that they’re doing anything, just stop thinking about it.” I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Their trip was the only thing on my mind. I thought I’d successfully ruined it but I was wrong. Zane was a step ahead of me. “Why did she have to go with him?” I sat on the bed and buried my face in my hands. “Why?” Ethan took a step closer to me. “I think you should get some sleep or something, Grayson. You’re acting out of control.” He was right
Chapter 152Tessa Ford ~•~“Are you still doubting me?” Zane’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I exhaled. “I don’t know… I don’t know how I feel. I don’t know if I should let my guard down.” He stared at me for a long second. “You’re an amazing woman, Tessa. Grayson fucked up by fumbling you,” he said, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. “Any man who sees you would be attracted to you. It doesn’t always have to come with a hidden agenda.” “Are you sure? Pinky promise?” I was half-joking and half-terrified as I lifted my little finger between us. Zane’s lips curved. He hooked his finger with mine without hesitation. “Pinky promise. No schemes. No games.” I smiled. “Okay, thank you.” Zane chuckled. “You’re acting like your daughter right now.” I hit him playfully on his shoulder. “At least, she made me realize how sacred these promises are, and I hope you also know that you can’t break them.” Zane shook his head. “I have no intention of breaking them,” he replied sharp
Chapter 151Tessa Ford ~•~“Don’t worry about Grayson, I’ve made some calls to rectify the issues. We can travel in a private jet.” My shoulders slumped slightly at Zane’s words, and the knot in my chest loosened a bit. I knew I wouldn’t be completely relieved until we were in Paris. Grayson would go to any length to ruin the trip, and he had proven that to me. Zane noticed the worried look on my face. “Is anything the issue?” he asked, placing a hand on my shoulder. I let out a deep breath. “What if Grayson tries to ruin that one too?” “What? The private jet?” he tilted his head. “He won’t be able to ruin it. He doesn’t even know about it.” Zane clearly didn’t know Grayson well enough. “What if he figures it out?” “He won’t. As long as you don’t say anything to him.” I tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear. “Okay.” In about an hour, we were in the jet. As soon as the jet took off, I let out a relieved sigh and my lips curled into a smile. Grayson couldn’t do anythi
Chapter 150Grayson Grant ~•~When my private investigator told me that Tessa and Zane were going to Paris, I lost my shit. I’d pretended like I had no idea where they were going for the trip, and I asked Tessa about it. But she refused to tell me. I knew exactly why she refused to say anything. Paris had been on our bucket list for the longest time while we were still married. The funny part was that I’d planned on taking her there as a surprise on her birthday that year. But before it could get to her birthday, our lives took a 180-degree turn. Everything crumbled and we didn’t get to go on the trip anymore. Now, she was going to Paris with him and I couldn’t handle it. I knew I had to find a way to stop them from travelling. I did everything in my power to pull certain strings. Tessa’s passport was going to be flagged on the system and they would tell her that she had an unresolved court order, meaning she wouldn’t be able to travel for a few days. I also had to seek Sabin
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
