บททั้งหมดของ My Billionaire Ex-husband's Greatest Regret : บทที่ 121 - บทที่ 130

Chapter 121Tessa Ford~•~ I tapped my fingers on my thigh nervously as I waited for the call to connect. Every second that passed made my chest tightened even more. Finally, she answered the call. “Sabine, where is my daughter?” I demanded, my voice filled with accusation. “Where did you take my baby? Why did you take my baby?” The frustration in my voice was palpable. I couldn’t take it anymore. I was desperate to find my daughter and Sabine was my only suspect. She was the only person I could think of who would hurt me. She had tried to sabotage my life in the past and I was certain that she wouldn’t hesitate to do something as cruel as taking my daughter. “Tessa… what are you saying?” She forced her voice to sound confused but I could see right past her. I scoffed bitterly. “What am I saying? You’re seriously asking me that kind of dumb question?” I asked, my voice filled with annoyance. “Why did you kidnap my daughter?” Before she could respond, the banging on my door inc

Chapter 123Tessa Ford ~•~ “Grayson, I’m not letting this shit go,” I said firmly. “You have to tell me how you ended up getting Jade from the kidnappers, and you have to tell me the truth.” His shoulders slumped. “Why can’t you just let it go?” he asked, letting out a heavy sigh. “I paid the ransom money and now she’s here.” “That’s bullshit, Grayson,” I scoffed. “You want to tell me that you had $100 million cash just lying around?” He nodded. “Yes.” I shook my head. “You’re lying to me and that’s not fair, this is my daughter’s life we are talking about here.” Grayson was silent for a beat. He let out a sigh and began pacing around the kitchen. “Nothing is going to happen to Jade anymore. She’s safe,” he continued, trying to sound convincing. “Even if I did something illegal, I’ll be the one to face the consequences.” “You’ll be the one?” I snorted. “So you’ll get in trouble and leave the kids heartbroken?” Grayson wasn’t making any sense. He stopped in his tracks and lo

Chapter 125Tessa Ford ~•~ “Mama, can we have a superhero-themed birthday party?” Jack tugged at my sleeves as I ushered him and his sister to the car. Jade scoffed. “No… can we have a Disney princess-themed party instead?” I exhaled sharply. “Let’s think about getting you both to school first. We will talk about your birthday some other time.” “Okay, mama,” they both responded in unison. The twins' birthday was coming up and the only thing they had been talking about was their birthday party and what they wanted. It was still a few weeks away but they wanted me to start preparing early, so they’d have the best birthday. According to them, it was their first birthday in New York and they wanted it to be extraordinary. After they settled down in the backseat, I made my way to the driver’s seat and started the car. When the car pulled out of the driveway, they continued talking about their dream party in the back seat. Even if I hadn’t started planning, I was certain that I

Chapter 127Tessa Ford ~•~I didn’t expect my peaceful afternoon to spiral into chaos, but somehow Grayson Grant had that effect on my life — whether he tried or not. As if it wasn’t enough that he showed up at the restaurant, he was also trying to steal one of Zane’s biggest clients. We didn’t even stay back to eat our food because Zane was too upset and didn’t want to be in the same space as Grayson. Could I even blame him? Grayson knew exactly what he was doing. As we walked back to my office, he got into his car. I didn’t go inside; I stayed in the car with him, even though he insisted I leave. “I’m so sorry about everything.” I apologized even though it wasn’t my fault. Zane’s jaw was still hard. “Why does he always act like that? I know we were rivals when we were younger, but I’m not that guy anymore.” He dragged a hand through his hair. “Ever since I came into your life, I haven’t even done anything to upset him.” Zane didn’t know that being with me alone was enough t

Chapter 129Tessa Ford ~•~“So how long are you going to ignore me for? Please call me as soon as you listen to this.” I let out a sigh as I left what seemed like the millionth voicemail for Zane. Ever since we had that conversation in his car, he had been acting weird towards me. He barely called, texted, responded to my text, or even hung out with me. I had to admit that I missed him. And I wanted him around, but I wasn’t ready to be in a relationship with him. It wasn’t about Grayson, but it was because I felt it wasn’t the right time to get into a relationship. I needed to focus on raising my kids and taking my career to the next level. Zane wasn’t a distraction from all those things, but I could get carried away sometimes. Why wouldn’t he just understand me and be patient? I tossed my phone and got out of bed. It was early and I had to prepare myself for work and get the kids ready for school. I hated school days because it was a lot of work, but I loved doing it for my k
