Semua Bab Divorcing The Billionaire On Valentine's Day: Bab 1 - Bab 10

GRAYSONShe can't leave. She can't just up and leave like 5 years were nothing. And the audacity of her to file for a divorce.The house was quiet, awfully so. I mean it always was but knowing she had moved out brought another silence that was new to the house.And there was Johnny asking for Addie, his mother. How was I supposed to tell him that she was gone? How could she be so cruel to leave just like that?I couldn't take care of a 5 year old alone. I didn't know what I would be required to do.I stared at the boy's teary eyes and back at the divorce papers. This cannot hold at all.She has to come back. I'll make her if I have to.I glanced over the counter to find something he could eat. There was none. It was safe to say Adeline left the house without thinking about anyone but herself. Not even little Johnny.“How about we do pizza tonight, just me and you?” I tried to smile as I spoke to him, softly as I could but he frowned, tears falling from his eyes. Even I could feel the

GRAYSONI smiled at the file before me. It was Adeline’s. Damian had managed to get a whiff that she wanted to go back to school, law school to be precise and she happened to apply where he was a dean at. It's perfect. I smiled at the thought that crossed my mind. No, I wasn’t going to stop her from chasing her dreams. I was just going to show her that it was possible to be the woman she wanted to be and be mine at the same time.“Nice work. Keep her close, but away from any fucker that intends to befriend her. I mean it Damian.” I barked into my phone, unsure why I felt the need to keep her. There was a new feeling growing in my chest that I didn’t like. I recognized it. But it was the same that got me in trouble enough to make a mess out of me in the first place.My man was to simply woo Adeline, get her to agree to stay married while I fund her little dream.“Done. Don’t fuck this up.” He snapped back at me before hanging up. I stared at my phone for a second before placing it down

GRAYSONI don’t know what ideas Mr Archer may have planted in your head, but I am not a driver, and definitely not his.What I planted in his head. I knew Adeline to be many things, but proud and delusional was not one of them. Did she really think I went around talking to anyone who cared to listen about her? What was even there to talk about?! She was as bland as they come, living in a corner shelter she had created for herself, away from the world and anything remotely fun. What was it about her that would suddenly be so interesting that I would have to talk to the world about.I blamed myself really. I caused this. I put myself in the line of her insults. I let Johnny push me into desperation. Desperation that made me rope Damian into the whole thing, made me persuade him to lie that I was drunk. I mean, I was drunk, but not that drunk that I wouldn’t be able to find my way home.I just needed to see her. No, scratch that. I just needed her to come to the house so she could see Jo

GRAYSON“But just two days ago, I got a call from your assistant saying that the contract has been signed and we were just coming to pick up the copy.” The busybody assistant was quick to point out. The corner of my eyes twitched with the effort it took to not respond to the idiot.The consequences of my indulgence last night had taken their time catching up with me. My head felt it was seconds away from exploding.I ignored him and instead leaned against the chair and analyzed the situation. I wasn’t alone in the room. The new CEO of the Black Enterprises sat on the opposite side of the long meeting table, a man not older than his early twenties and not worthy of having a seat at the table. Our previous dealings had been with his father, Carl Black.“I agree. What’s this sudden development?” He opened his mouth to speak. I flattened the material of my pants trousers to keep my hands busy. Carl Black was better suited for knowing a good deal when he saw it, better suited for the kind

GRAYSONI shoved the phone back in my pocket after confirming it was in fact Adeline. Lila and mother left an hour ago so I was a bit skeptical about leaving Johnny, but he would be happier to see his ‘Addie’. I shut the door behind me and went to the entrance room.A lady in a red dress stood at the centre of the room, her hair cascaded down her exposed back in bold waves. She turned and it took a long minute before my brain registered that it was Adeline.“Adeline.” My eyes roamed her face. She did a winged thing with her eyes that made her eyes more obvious, I hadn’t even noticed she had blue eyes until that moment. Her dress glittered underneath the bright white light in the room, drawing attention to her curves, curves I never knew existed either, curves that had me stopping in my tracks and needing a strong drink. Did she transform overnight?!She demanded to see Johnny immediately she saw me. Still shocked to see her in anything but baggy t shirts and sweatpants, I didn’t trust
