Chapter 103

Grayson POV:

I couldn’t fully believe what had just occurred, i never once thought he’d find his way back into my life, I never thought he’d entertain the idea enough to come back into my life.

I explained the situation and Theo confirmed there were snipers on the roofs. We had been gravely outnumbered so there was no reason for them to doubt me.

I explained the situation upon our return and after my mother–in–law sat there glaring at me to open her mouth and ask if there was a better reason I left. I walked out Matt and Elizebeth behind me.

“It was really him?” Matt asked me.

“Yes,” I couldn’t believe it myself so I understood their apprehension.

“I need to go and speak to my mother,” I realized as we moved away.

She’d know how to play this best. Marcus was one animal my father was a far greater beast, if I wanted to get my wife back I now had to go against him and win. Never had been good at that, even as a kid never could win against him in any game. Most fathers let their sons win so they know what it’s like, not mine he’d relish in putting me down.

She was married to him, she knew him better than anyone. She knew what he hated and what he loved, she knew what would drive him crazy. She knew what he’d do next, how he would play this game. I’d always valued her opinion but now it was about to be the word of the goddess.

I walked past my house and into her small cortège, she preferred to be on the edge of things. I entered and the delightful sound of laughter hit my cars. After I had built my own house my mother requested I burn her old one and build her this place.

It was an easy thing to do; there’d been no happiness in that house. She’d taken in the two rouge children, they’d both relaxed immensely with my mother as their guardian.

“No, no not like that,” my mother was standing over them laughing as she taught them how to make bread. She was so happy and I was about to ruin that for a good while.

“Grayson!” She smiled beckoning me over. “Come come help,” she looked at my face and looked at the two teens “Go to the school and see if they need any helping hands,” she instructed them.

They were good kids and did as they were told moving away from her and bowing their heads to me as they left.

“What’s happened?” She looked as if she suspected the worst.

“We lost him,” I explained, partially.

I avoided her gaze like I’d stolen randy. I couldn’t tell her, to bring her back to the hell she’d lived in, dragging her into the walls she’d built around herself. She’d shut off almost all of herself to survive.
