The Billionaire's Ex Lover

The Man Of The Hour

Grey's POV

I have worked very hard to get to where I am today. All the money, the cars and the houses had to be earned. I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth so a lot of people thought that I was going to have things handed to me.

I am glad to say that my father was a very hard man, whatever I had, I earned. So when I was done with law school, I worked twice as hard to build my own company. It was not easy but me and two of my friends managed to make it.

In just eight years, we are one of the most top and prestigious law firms in New York. We represent all the big names, sports stars, people in the entertainment industry, business man and women, we even had a few men and women of the States as our clients.

I can't believe that I almost threw all of this away for a girl. I mean she was nice and she was a virgin when we met but it was never going to work with her. I even thought that I might have even loved her at some point.

No good would have come out of our relationship, we were too different, it was fun whilst it lasted but when I finished law school, my priorities changed. I didn't have the hearts to break up with her so I ghosted her.

I was young and a douchebag, I wasn't even planning on having a relationship that lasted that long, before she came into my life, I was in between relationships, I was young and I came from a rich family.

I drove a freaking Porsche to campus, I lived in an uptown apartment, all the girls wanted to be with me. Being a great football player didn't help my situation. If it wasn't for my passion for law, I could have had a career in football.

When I got my first job, I was busy, too busy to even think about dating, I knew then I couldn't be with her, I knew then that my dreams were too big to be disturbed by a love struck college girl.

After a few months, I was back in the game again, I had gone back to being a ladie's man. I have been with a lot of women since then but I have never lasted with any of them. They were all after one thing, my money.

I don't mind spoiling my woman, I mean I am a gentleman afterall but I was not going to get married to someone just because we had great s*x. I mean I still have a lot of life in me to be tied to one woman.

Then I met Rosa... Beauty and brains, she was a whole package. She didn't care about my money because she has her own. She's by far the longest relationship I have ever been in and it has only been a year.

Rosa is just a breathe of fresh air. I am even seeing a future with her. I am not saying that I am a perfect guy, I still lose my way every now and then and find myself coming home with a girl I have just met, even still I make sure that she doesn't find out about it

It has been a year and I think that I can focus on one woman. I mean she seems to be doing great plus she is not clingy which is great. I was sitting in my office thinking about which i***t had Jackson hired.

I have had to fire the one of the best guys we had because of a s****l assault complaint against him. I mean we are a prestigious company and we can't risk this coming out. I have also had to replace him with a female lawyer.

I was in no mood to do an interview so when they told me that we had to fill the position I gave the task to Jackson, he is one of the Junior partners, he made partner last year. He is by far the youngest and yet the brightest lawyer we had.

I knew that I had to keep him. He assured me that he had gotten someone what was going to get a great fit to the company. I still think that we should have moved Leah to another branch and not give her a promotion.

She was our office runner, a replacement PA, our coffee girl, our lunch girl, she even picked up our dry cleaning. She even gave me a nickname. When she first started working here, I thought that she was timid little thing.

She was unorganised and clumsy. She wasn't a good PA for me and after hearing that she was taking care of her whole family, I didn't have the heart to fire her so I made her our office runner. I created that position just for her and now they have given her to the new addition in the firm.

Jackson came into my office like he owns the place, he didn't even knock. He had a stupid grin on his face, I think it's safe to say that our replacement lawyer is here.

"Jackson... what can I do for you?" I asked him.

"I am here to tell you that I have officially employed someone, she signed the contract today." He said looking pleased.

"Well at least she can keep time." I said as I pretended to be working on something.

"Well aren't you even going to say hello to her? She's beautiful, a little old for me but she could very do, I think I might have found my new baby mama." He said with a grin on his face.

"Jackson you already have two kids with two different mother's and you are not even twenty eight years, why would you want another kid?" I said with straight face.

I mean I am not even thinking about kids right now besides that, I don't think Rosa would want to stop working, stretch marks won't be good for her job since she's an underwear model amongst other things.

I think the reason our relationship has managed to last this long is because she has such a busy schedule. She's hardly around for a long time. She always traveling around the world. I never thought I'd say this but I love the freedom I have in my relationship.

"Man kids are a blessing, I love my kids." He said with pride.

"Well good for you and Incase you have forgotten, office Romance a complete No." I reminded him of our policy.

"Party pooper." He said.

"Jackson some of us have work to do." I said.

"Fine, you will meet on Friday, I gave her the Clayton case." He said.

"You what?" I asked him. I could feel my anger coming up.

"Look you gave it to me and I have a lot of cases I am working on, I know what I am doing, she will be fine." He said.

"You better hope so or your ass is on the line." I said.

"Fine..." He said confidently and left the office.

Clayton is one of our biggest clients, she was my first client so she always got first priority. She has made us a lot of money over the years because we have won a lot of cases for her. I gave the case to Jackson because I trust him and what does he do?

He takes our case and gives it to the newest member of our team. I didn't think that he would give her this case. He could have given her any other client. I hope that she is as good as Jackson thinks she is because I will have his head if we lost our client.

She will be coming in tomorrow and I hope that she keeps our client happy, we have a board meeting on Friday and I want results, I don't care if she has just came in, we have court in two weeks, I need to be sure that she will she be up for the job.

I can't afford to have an incompetent person on such an important case. I got out of my office and I took the lift that took me down. I kept on thinking and wondering why he would trust her with such an important client.

I got out of the lift and saw Leah coming with a Starbucks coffee, I was about to ask her to get me one as well but then I remembered that she was not a runner anymore. She was now a PA. I think that I need to ask Leah about our new employee.

I waited by her desk while she took the coffee to her new boss. I had too much work and so she couldn't keep up with me, I hope that she will do better here. She came out and gave me as smile.

"Good morning sir, didn't know you came to these parts of the office." She said jokingly.

"Well I heard that we have a new employee, how is she?" I asked her.

"It's my first day but she doesn't seem too bad, she hasn't bitten my head off yet." She said.

"Alright then." I said.

"Is that all?" She asked me.

"Yes, I just wanted to know if you were fine here, you know we can always find her another PA, you can work with us again." I said.

"No thank you, my days of being a runner are over, I get to work with a woman for a change." She said with a smile.

"Fine, so where is she from, is she pretty? Jackson said that she was a looker." I said to Leah.

"Well she is the prettiest lawyer we have and that I can tell you for free, right now my boss needs her Expresso I'm sure she doesn't like cold coffee. " She said.

"Fine then I guess I'll meet her myself at the board meeting on Friday." I said.

"I thought that meeting was weeks away." Leah said sounding surprised. I think that she hasn't been notified about the changes.

"No it was moved to Friday, make sure she makes it in time." I said.

"Alright I'll update her diary..." She said walked past me to go to the office. She opened the door and I had a sneak peek inside the office. I couldn't see her face because her back was facing me but damn she had fine legs.

With legs like that, she could have easily been a model but he rack would be a problem, she has big and fine backside and if I was her man, I wouldn't let her leave the house, especially in those suit pants she was wearing.

I turned around and made my way to the lift. I got in and punched in the code that took me straight to the top floor where my apartment was. I am what you would call a workaholic, it made sense for me to live in the building.

I am afterall a majority shareholder and I this is one of its perks. You see the reason I am going upstairs right now is to take a cold shower because I needed it. I don't know who that woman is but I know that she is going to be a problem.

I have never been able to control myself when there's beautiful women around. I don't want to mess things up with Rosa, not when I am about to move things to another level. I went upstairs and went straight to my bathroom and got a cold shower.

I know it in my heart that I love Rosa and that I want to be with her and only her but the only thing on my mind was those beautiful legs and a wonderful backside I have just seen. I then went to the landline and I called my office.

"Mr Bolton's office how may I help you." my assistant asked me on the phone.

"It's me, cancel all my meetings for the rest of the day, I won't be coming back to the office." I said and hung up the phone.

I knew that going back would be useless as I wouldn't be able to get any work done. I would just be thinking about her. So I got dressed. I changed in my black Gucci t-shirt, my black Gucci jeans and black Louis Vuitton sneakers. I wore a black leather jacket and took my car keys.

I drove to my parents house. I needed to talk to my father. I got to the driveway and entered the secret code that opened the gate, it's funny that my parents haven't changed it. I went in and parked in the driveway.

I got out of the car and went to the house. I opened the door and I went in. The smell of cinnamon just hit me and I smiled a bit, that means that the chef was making cinnamon rolls which are my mother's favourite.

"Son? what are you doing here? is everything okay" My mother asked me with a worried face.

"Nothing is wrong mom, can't a son visit his parents without any alterior motive?" I asked her.

"Yes but not you..." She said.

"Yes son, spill it out." My father said as he walked into the room.

"Actually I am here for dad, I need to talk to him." I said.

"Alright then, I know when I am not wanted." my mother said and left the room.

"Scotch?" he asked me as he poured a drink for himself.

"No thanks dad, it's too early for me to drink." I said.

"Suit yourself." He said and took the drink. "Let's go to my office." He said and I followed him inside. It was still the same as I remembered it. The old bookshelf filled with my mother's literature books. She had every author you could think of, from Jane Austen to Thomas Hardy all first edition books.

It was a pretty impressive collection and I had always wondered how she managed to read all those books. Then there was a desk that has been there for over two decades now, the chairs where changed which was the only thing that had changed. I took a seat.

"So why did you drive all the way to the other side of town." he said.

"I need your advice on something." I said.

" I am all ears." I said.

"How did you know that mom was the woman you wanted to spend the rest of your life with?" I asked.

"Well son... it was not love at first sight, that much I can tell you. Our father's arranged for us to get married, you know back then I had a girl I thought I loved and she was nothing like your mother.

I was not keen on getting married at first but then I had to face reality, our union was more than about love, it was about business alliances so I married your mother and that's when we got to know each other.

I learned to love your mother just as she learned to love me, that made us to have a strong bond and through that, I have had the best thirty five years of my life." He said with a smile.

"Well that's helpful..." I said.

"Why son? do you have someone in mind? I didn't even know that you were in a relationship." my father said.

"Dad you have met her... her name is Rosa and I think I want to marry her." I said.

"I would put a hold on it if I where you." He said.

"Why do you think that?" I asked him.

"You are my son and I know you, you have never been unsure about anything in your life before, if you have to ask if you are doing the right thing then you are not ready my son, not by a long shot." He said.

He was right, I have never been unsure ant anything before, right now my father just showed me that I am nowhere ready for marriage. I think that I need to move things slow, I will ask her to move in with me first and I will just have to take it from there.
