Chapter 1 Tessa Ford ~•~ “Where are you, Grayson? It’s almost eight and she has been waiting for you since five. Can you please pick up the damn phone?” I said through gritted teeth. The automated voice followed right after. “Your message has been recorded.” I hung up with a sharp exhale, tossing the phone on the couch. I couldn’t believe Grayson, it was our daughter’s birthday and he wanted to disappoint her. Grayson had been acting really weird for the past few weeks. At first, I thought it was just a phase because he was stressed with work. But I knew it was more than that when he started shutting me out, barely speaking to me, coming home late, and treating me like we were just strangers living under the same roof. I tried to be patient with him, I tried to talk to him, but he refused to open up about what was happening. Instead, he continued acting cold and distant. I just couldn’t believe that he would extend his harsh treatment to his daughter. “Mommy.” Raven’s soft

Chapter 2Tessa Ford ~•~ Vanessa? He missed our daughter’s birthday dinner just to go out with that woman? My leg was still glued to that spot as I tried to process what was happening. I still couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Grayson was unbelievable. My eyes burned with rage and I couldn’t even look at the screen anymore. His hands were on her fucking waist! Different thoughts ran through my head and I needed a minute. I turned off the television and grabbed a glass of water. The water didn’t even help to calm the storm that was brewing inside of me. A bitter laugh escaped my lips. “Of course, it was about another woman. His ex-girlfriend, Vanessa.” It felt like the walls were closing in on me and I pressed my palms against the kitchen counter, trying to steady my breathing. Even if the image of them replayed in my head, a part of me wanted to believe that it was just a friendly meeting and it didn’t mean anything. When we started dating, Grayson assured me that Vanessa

Chapter 3Tessa Ford ~•~ “Lying to you for weeks? What are you talking about?” I asked, genuinely confused. I stared at him in anticipation, waiting to hear what he was about to say. Grayson scoffed. “You really want to act like you don’t know what I’m talking about?” He asked, his brows furrowed. I nodded. “Yes, if I have been lying to you for weeks, why didn’t you confront me about it? We always talk about our issues.” Now I understand why he has been acting weird, but I couldn’t recall lying to my husband about anything. He stood up from the bed and shook his head in disappointment. “We shouldn’t be having those kinds of issues in the first place.” He said, his voice stiff and cold. “What issues, Grayson? What are you talking about?” “Tessa, I’m not in the mood for all of this, I had a long night and I would love to rest.” He said, trying to end the conversation as quickly as possible. But I wasn’t going to let that happen. There was a problem and we needed to talk about

Chapter 4Grayson Grant ~•~ I couldn’t believe that Tessa would look me in the face and constantly lie to me. For weeks, I had known about her affair, but I was too scared to confront her. I was scared because I didn’t want her to confirm the truth, it would break me. I had tried my best to move past it because I didn’t want our marriage to end. But I just couldn’t move past it. Tessa knew how much l loved her, she knew how much I adored our family, but she still went ahead to betray me. What she did hurt me badly, that was why I couldn’t even say what it was when she asked me what the problem was. It still baffled me that she tried so hard to act innocent, like she genuinely had no idea what I was talking about. Every word that came out of her mouth felt like another stab to my chest. I just couldn’t take it anymore, so I had to tell her the exact reason why I wanted a divorce.“You cheated on me, Tessa! That’s why I’m ending the marriage!” The words spilled out of my mouth b

Chapter 5Tessa Ford ~•~ I shook my head. “No, I’m not signing the papers. I didn’t cheat on you. I have no idea where you got your information from, but you’re wrong!” The envelope fell to the ground but Grayson picked it up and tossed it on the bed. “I’m done talking, Tessa. I already have all the proof I need and nothing you say is going to erase everything I saw.” He said, his voice sharp. “Just sign the papers so we can get over with this shit.” This shit? I forced myself to hold back the tears that were threatening to fall from my eyes. “Can’t you see that someone is trying to come between us?” I asked, my voice catching in my throat. “I didn’t cheat on you. I would never betray you like that.” Grayson didn’t seem moved by what I had said. He was determined to believe whoever had fed him those lies. He couldn’t even give me the benefit of the doubt. He couldn’t even talk to me about it when he found out whatever he found. So for four weeks, he thought I was cheating on

Chapter 6Tessa Ford ~•~ “Where are you going? What do you want to do?” I asked, trying to reach out to Grayson’s hands which he pulled away. “Grayson, what do you want to do?” He didn’t say anything, he just got dressed and grabbed his keys. “I don’t owe you an explanation anymore, just sign the papers before I come back in the evening.” I still couldn’t believe what was happening. “Grayson—.” He didn’t even let me complete my statement, he just stormed out of the bedroom. I stood there frozen for a few seconds, still trying to process the entire situation. My eyes shifted to the envelope that was on the bed. He really wanted me to sign those papers? He wanted me to give up on our marriage? Was it that easy for him? I let out a sharp exhale and ran after him. I wanted to stop him. We still had a lot to talk about. Everything was just a misunderstanding and we didn’t have to end our marriage over lies someone else had told him. “Grayson!” I yelled his name as he trudged dow

Chapter 7Grayson Grant ~•~ A part of me felt bad for answering Vanessa’s call in front of Tessa. But another part reminded me that I didn’t have to care. Besides, I wasn’t doing anything bad anymore. I had already told her I wanted to end the marriage and had already signed my part of the divorce papers. But as I drove over to the hotel to meet Vanessa, my mind wandered back to Raven. I shouldn’t have left the house without talking to her first but my mind was clouded with rage. After a short drive, I arrived at the hotel. Vanessa and I met at the lobby where she was already waiting for me. “I didn’t think you were actually going to come.” She said with a mischievous smirk as I stood in front of her. I rolled my eyes. “Why did you ask me to come here?” I asked, the frustration palpable in my voice. “Have you told your wife about our arrangement?” She asked, scanning me with her eyes. “That’s not really your business, Vanessa,” I said coldly. “I thought we already talked abou

Chapter 8Tessa Ford ~•~ I picked up the divorce papers from the bed and looked at them. I opened the side drawer and brought out a pen. I forced down the lump that had formed in my throat as my fingers hovered around the paper. Grayson had already signed his part. I wasn’t ready to get divorced. I wasn’t ready to end my marriage. I wasn’t ready to ruin my family. My mind wandered back to Raven. What would happen to her if we ended the marriage? Who would have custody of her? Did Grayson even think of her before signing these papers? I placed the pen on where I would put my signature. It stayed there for a few seconds. But then, I realized I couldn’t do it. I didn’t cheat on Grayson, and we didn’t have to end our marriage just because he thought I betrayed him. The only thing I needed to do was find out who actually told him about it and prove to him that everything was just a lie. Letting out a deep sigh, I shoved the pen back into the drawer and tossed the papers on the b

Chapter 9Grayson Grant ~•~ “How do you know that she didn’t cheat on me?” I asked, my eyes fixed on Ethan. “What are you talking about?” He didn’t respond immediately. I trailed behind him while he made his way to the living room. “Ethan, what are you talking about?” I repeated, my voice sharp. “This is Tessa we are talking about. I don’t think she would cheat on you.” He said, taking a seat on the couch. I let out a scoff as I sat down across from him. “That was the same thing I thought. I trusted her and that was a terrible mistake.” Ethan exhaled deeply. “Wow, I still can’t believe that she would cheat on you. I mean, Tessa has always been loyal, even when…” I didn’t let him complete his sentence. “This isn’t about anybody else. It’s about Tessa and her affair with her model.” His eyes grew wide in shock. “Her model? Like her client from the fashion house?” He asked with a hint of amusement in his voice. I nodded, my chest tightening. “Yes,” I replied, my voice low. “She

Chapter 10Tessa Ford ~•~ After the call with my mom ended, I dialed Grayson’s number. I needed to talk to him urgently, because I wanted to try and convince him that nothing had happened between me and Asher Frost. But as soon as the phone started ringing, he ended the call. “Ouch,” I whispered to myself and my chest ached so badly it felt physical. It was clear he didn’t want to talk to me. Maybe he was busy with Vanessa. I thought about tracking him down to wherever he was. It took everything in me to stop myself from doing something that crazy. Just as I was lost in my thoughts, my phone buzzed with a text notification. I glanced at the screen and it was a text from Asher, asking if I was going to show up at the office. I rolled my eyes. He was the reason why I was in that mess. But it wasn’t actually his fault. Anyway, I didn’t respond to his text. I decided to call Grayson’s best friend. I wanted him to help me talk to him and ask if he knew his whereabouts. I didn’t
