Semua Bab His Mistake, Her Revenge: Bab 81 - Bab 90

-- Grizelda --"I don't have time for this." I said and pulled Leo along with me but Lucy squeezed her fingers around my wrist before I could run fast enough from the problem she was about to cause."Where do you think you're going, bitch?" She cursed, her eyes blazing."Hey!" Leo spoke up in my defense. "Can you be careful with the words you choose when speaking to my mom?""If you know what's good for you kid, you'll shut up before I use the same words on you too.""Lucy!" I snapped and yanked my hand away from her grip. "Don't even dare talk to my son like that.""Or you'll do what?" She folded her hands. "Call the cops on me? What are you? The president's daughter?""This is not even the right time for us to be fighting or having any arguments. I simply came here to have a nice time with my son, so why can't you just let me be and postpone your urge to cause problems for later?""Oh, no, no, no." She shook her head. "I've had enough time letting you go scot free. Not this time. No

-- Alexander --Leo peeked out from behind Margaret. His big eyes landing on mine. I knelt down to his level."Hey." I said softly. "You okay?"He nodded slowly. "She was yelling a whole lot.""I know, buddy. But it's over now."He sprang forward and hugged me tight around my neck. I closed my eyes for a split second, enjoying the way he showed his appreciation and somehow wishing he would even hold me longer than that as if trying to show me that he loved me more than words could ever admit.When he chose to release me, I stretched out my hand. "Where's mommy's phone?" It was in his hands all along as I had first noticed and he dropped it carefully into mine. "Good boy." I smiled.I stood and locked eyes with Grizelda. I handed her the phone and she took it before whispering, "Thank you. He must have taken it while he was behind me."I nodded with a half grin. "Thankfully so."Two weeks later, I found myself standing in front of her mansion as I rang the bell and waited for someone t

-- Alexander --The second I made my presence known in the party, everyone immediately landed their eyes on me and it was as if the party had become silent for even just a fraction of seconds. To make things worse, my eyes landed on Grizelda first and I instantly forgot how to breathe. She was gorgeous in that sexy black dress she was wearing!I blinked twice before I got myself and then I heard his voice. The birthday boy.“Daddy!” Leo broke the silence, his voice ringing out with pure joy.He sprinted across the living room, launching himself into my arms. I caught him effortlessly, holding him close.He felt heavier and taller. Also more solid. Like he’d grown ten times from the last time I saw him in person. I hugged him tight, swallowing hard as my throat tightened.“Happy birthday, buddy.” I murmured, my voice thick with emotion.Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes, but I blinked them away, refusing to show too much emotions or he wouldn't want to believe a grown man like hi

-- Alexander --I pulled on a nice pair of suit, arranged my hair, wore my favorite scent, stared at myself a little too much in the mirror and then I decided I was ready.I had slept very late last night which I didn't expect on my first day at home. I missed home. I missed everything. But home was a little too quiet for me now that I could barely find the sleep as early as I should've. Lucy was not here anymore, neither was Spencer. Not that I missed them much.Maybe I just wondered how Spencer was doing from time to time but that was it. All that filled my mind most was my baby boy. My one and only. That was why as soon as I got Grizelda's text last night, I knew it was duty calls. I needed to visit again as soon as possible. I was very much aware that we had planned tonight but I said fuck it. I couldn't be too busy to spend time with my family.I took in a deep breath and headed out the front door. This was the best I could do as a responsible father. After all, I'd been away for

-- Grizelda --The applause from the boardroom still rung in my ears as I watched the horizon from my window. I always thought it was the most beautiful sight ever. I could spend minutes just watching the skyline, as I surrendered myself to the beauty of nature.The streets shimmered with headlights. I glanced at my phone. There had been no missed calls, no messages from him asking about Leo’s day. This was unlike him. He had been sending for months like clockwork and it became a regular part of my mornings. Now, it had been weeks and I hadn’t seen him. There was no meeting at the school gate or any other chanced meeting that might have forced a conversation.As if he was gone and never coming back but I knew that was not true. It couldn't be true.Then why did I have to keep reminding myself of that in the first place?I picked my bag and jacket, gave my assistant a slight nod, and stepped into the elevator. The vacuumed space of the elevator quietened the storm in my head. I hated
