All Chapters of My Husband Chose Intern, I Chose Racing Prodigy: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"Grayson, which server crashed in the middle of the night this time?"I leaned against the headboard, watching him button his shirt with one hand while searching for his car keys with the other. He paused for half a second at my words, then turned around and slipped into the well-practiced expression of a devoted, apologetic husband."Client data went haywire, and the tech team can't handle it. I need to go back to the office and oversee it myself."He walked over and leaned down to kiss my forehead. I turned my face away and pointed at the keys on the nightstand. "Then hurry up. Don't let the company go bankrupt because you showed up a minute late."Grayson didn't catch the sarcasm. He assumed I was just sleepy. He smiled and ruffled my hair. "Tomorrow's the weekend. I'll take you to that lakeside restaurant. You've been running yourself ragged with the IPO prep. You deserve a break."The moment the bedroom door closed, the smile dropped from my face.I picked up my phone. A few minut

Back at home, Grayson pulled a thick shareholder agreement from his briefcase."Several investment firms are requiring consolidated voting rights before the IPO." He sat down beside me, his tone earnest. "We need to sign a profit guarantee and share custody agreement. If you temporarily transfer your voting rights to me, the company will be able to make decisions more efficiently."I sank back into the couch and flipped from the first page to the last.On the surface, the agreement looked like a standard pre-IPO governance arrangement. But the hidden clauses were beautifully crafted: if quarterly profits fell below the agreed target, my shares would transfer at a nominal price into a family trust controlled by Grayson. On top of that, I'd assume personal liability for certain debts.Even more conveniently, the profit settlement account ultimately pointed to a vendor called Redwood Consulting.What Grayson didn't know was that three months ago, I'd already discovered that large amounts

The next morning, I walked into the office as usual, only to find two private security guards posted outside the executive suite.Grayson was sitting in my chair, the newly effective equity agreement spread across my desk. He stubbed out a cigarette, his expression dark. "You've been temporarily suspended by the board. The quarterly close shows that profits missed the guarantee target. Your voting rights and share custody have been transferred to my trust.""When did the board hold a meeting?""Emergency vote overnight." He smirked. "I had enough proxy votes. You're under investigation for damaging the company's image and leaking proprietary information. Your system access is revoked until the inquiry concludes."I glanced at the insignia on the guards' uniforms. "A private company has no authority to confiscate my personal devices or prevent me from contacting my attorney. You'd better make sure they stay in the hallway and don't lay a hand on me."Grayson stepped close and lowered hi

Over the next two weeks, the commercial case, the divorce proceedings, and the criminal investigation all moved forward at the same time.Family court, citing preliminary financial tracing, prohibited Grayson from disposing of marital assets. The commercial judge found that he had severely breached his fiduciary duty to the company and its shareholders. Based on wire transfers, false invoices, and forged authorizations, the DA's office sought an arrest warrant.On the day of the final hearing, the judge confirmed that the equity agreement was void due to fraud and undisclosed conflicts of interest. All my shares were restored. Grayson was permanently barred from any role in company management and ordered to return the diverted funds, cover audit costs, and pay punitive damages.The divorce ruling didn't strip him of everything simply because of the affair. Instead, the court divided assets based on their origin and on willful dissipation: the company's initial capital had come from my

After Grayson went to prison, his parents sent a letter through their attorney accusing me of forgetting all our years together and insisting I could have given him one more chance before the criminal investigation. My lawyer asked if I wanted to respond. I told her to send back the court verdict and the list of companies he'd harmed.Shared history doesn't mean giving an adult unlimited immunity from the consequences of his own choices. He hadn't just deceived me. He had defrauded employees, vendors, and investors. Hundreds of families depended on that company for their livelihoods. I had no right to forgive him on their behalf just to preserve my image as the gracious ex-wife.That was the last time I dealt with anything from Grayson's family. From then on, whether they sent apologies, accusations, or pleas, my attorneys filed them away. I never read another one.A year later, we went to Iceland.The northern lights unfurled slowly across the sky outside Reykjavik, ribbons of green a
