Chapter 211Grayson Grant ~•~“Grayson! Where the hell are you? I’ve been trying to reach you for over an hour.” Ethan’s distressed and urgent voice echoed from the other end of the line. I’d barely even woken up from my sleep. I let out a loud yawn. It was still early in the morning. How did Ethan have so much energy? And why was he trying to reach me? Did something happen? I sat upright on the bed, suddenly alert. “Is it Amelia? Is she okay?” “Yes, yes. Amelia is okay,” he replied and I let out a relieved sigh. “It’s not Amelia. It’s the FBI.” Panic crept into my chest. FBI? “What?” I gasped. “Yeah, they surrounded the entire building.” “Like the company?” I asked, my heart pounding in my chest. “Yes. Where else?” He let out a heavy breath. “I’ve been trying to control the situation, you need to come down here right away.” “Oh my goodness,” I muttered as I got out of bed. “I’ll be on my way right now. But we took care of everything, right? They won’t find anything.” “I

Chapter 213Tessa Ford ~•~I paced around Zane’s office restlessly as I waited for him to be done with the meeting he was having in the conference room. He had no idea I was waiting for him. His assistant let me inside. I didn’t even give her a chance to stop me from entering. My eyes darted over to the clock on his desk for the umpteenth time. I’d been waiting there for over ten minutes and I was getting impatient. After a while, I let out a deep exhale and sat down on the couch. My chest was tight. I kept thinking about what would happen during the search at Grayson’s office. I wouldn’t be able to forgive Zane if anything happened to the company. Why would he do something like that just because he was in his feelings? “Tessa, I didn’t know you were coming,” Zane’s smooth voice dragged me out of my thoughts. I didn’t even know when he walked inside the room. I looked up and saw him standing by the door, his arms folded around his chest. He looked calm — nicely dressed in his

Chapter 215 Grayson Grant ~•~“They’re still not done?” Tessa’s concerned voice echoed through the other end of the line. “Do you need me to come over?” I shook my head. “No, no. You won’t even be able to get past the crazy crowd outside the company.” Tessa breathed heavily. “Is it that bad?” she asked, her voice filled with worry. “I’ve talked to Zane, and I think he’s going to undo what he did.” My shoulders slumped slightly. “Are you sure?” “I gave him an ultimatum.” I chuckled lightly. “What was it?” “I threatened to end our relationship.” If the situation were different, I would have actually loved for him to choose to end the relationship.But I couldn’t have my cake and eat it too at the moment. “Wow, that’s… smart.” Tessa laughed. “Not really. What if he actually decided to end the relationship?” she muttered. I still wasn’t okay with the fact that she was dating someone else, but I didn’t focus on that part at the moment. “He wouldn’t. You know he’s doing all the

Chapter 217Tessa Ford~•Nora called me. She didn’t talk much. She just asked me to check the link she’d sent to me. I slid down the wall as soon as I saw that Grayson had been arrested. But he assured me that they wouldn’t find anything. My eyes became blurry and my head started spinning. He promised to call the kids. Now he’d been arrested. What would I say to the kids? And Zane… he promised that he would take care of the situation and undo everything. Why was Grayson being taken away in handcuffs? It felt like I couldn’t breathe properly. I didn’t even know what to do. After a while, I dialed Ethan’s number. The phone rang a few times before he responded. “Hey, Tessa.” His faint voice came through the other end of the line. “Ethan, what is happening? Why did they arrest Grayson?” I asked, my voice breaking. “Calm down, Tessa,” he replied softly. “I don’t know the situation yet, I just left him alone at the office, and the next thing I heard, he’d been arrested.” “

Chapter 219Grayson Grant ~•They didn’t let my lawyer or even my family see me until the next day. I was so livid but I chose to stay calm. I kept thinking about Tessa and the kids. I wondered how they would react to the news of my arrest. When they finally allowed me access to my lawyer, I was the happiest person. “So Grayson, you’re trying to tell me that he fabricated all those things because of a high school beef?”I nodded. “Yes.” My lawyer laughed. “Are you sure? That’s a pretty intense allegation.” I leaned forward. “You really think I would lie about something like that?” I asked, raising a skeptical brow. “You can ask Agent Carter about the beef — the one-sided beef. He might admit to that part even though he’ll never admit to forging the evidence.” My lawyer was silent for a while, then he dragged a hand through his hair. “So tell me, what happened back in high school?” he demanded, his curious eyes fixed on me. I let out a deep exhale. “It was stupid,” I said. “S
