The Billionaire's Ex Lover

Caught Up

Grey's POV

I don't know what's wrong with me, why the hell did I just do that? I should have just stayed away like I was supposed to, I was supposed to stay away from my ex, things might have been different. After she wouldn't talk to me in the office, I thought that maybe it we were not in the office, that maybe we could talk.

That's why I made sure to catch her when she was at the parking lot, I was actually hoping that she would be going to the apartment so that I can talk to her in private. She couldn't wait to get out. I mean she just wanted to get out of there as fast as she could.

I went home and thought that maybe I could get my mind off her but with Rosa not being home, I had an itch to see her again. I also couldn't just show up unannounced so I created an emergency. I can't believe that I did that. She didn't fall for that either, she practically kicked me out of my own apartment.

I thought that maybe she might have changed the codes but she hasn't. I can't believe that she was that careless especially since she didn't know what kind of person lived there. She has no regards for her safety.

Which is why I bringing in the IT guy to change the codes for her on Monday. I never thought I would say this but Abigail Brown hates me. I can't say I blame her though. I remember the day I decided that I wanted to marry her and spend the rest of my life with her.

At that moment, I wanted her to be the woman who will carry my name and kids. I genuinely loved her. I was only a couple of weeks from graduation, I thought that I would marry her and whilst she stayed in school, I would start a firm that we would both run someday.

Then I graduated and went home, I wish I can say that I got a warm welcome when I got home but it was the exact opposite of that. I had used my credit card to buy the engagement ring, the same credit card that my parents paid for, turns out I made a colossal mistake. My mother went mental when she saw what the purchase was for.

She flat out told me that I was throwing my future away, she said that she would never allow me to marry someone like Abigail, she said that she didn't come from the right family, she said that she was after our money and that I should forget about her.

I was madly in love with her that time so I didn't even want to hear anything like that, especially from my mother. I fought to be with Abigail but she shut it down as soon as I started it. My mother told me that she would make sure that she ruined Abigail's life.

Starting with getting her kicked out of law school, I know that I couldn't have been able to live with myself had I stayed. My mother would have ruined her. I then thought that I would just let her graduate first, that I would later come for her.

When that time I came I couldn't bring myself to do it. Not after the way I had treated her. She has always said that she loves law school so I knew that she would be a great lawyer, I also thought that I might have been two years too late to go back to her and get her back.

She was the only woman I have ever loved enough to want to marry them so that means that she was very dear to me, I wondered how much my presence would affect her if she had already moved on.

She has always been the most beautiful girl in the room, even when she couldn't see it, I could and I was sure that I was not the only man to see it. I was sure that she would have by then found herself a good man who would actually marry her.

I wondered how that man would look like, if he would be able to take care of her, if he loved her, I even wondered about their children and who they might look like, if they would have her beautiful hazel eyes or her beautiful thick hair.

Then I would be disgusted with myself for being jealous about a guy I have never even met. I then decided that I should save us both the trouble and stay away from her, for good measure, I moved away and went to the one place I never thought I would go.

I have never liked the city so New York was never an option for me, same as her and that's why I thought that coming here would be a good thing, the last thing I thought was that she would actually come and work in New York, at my own damn firm.

I must admit that she really threw me off when I saw her. I didn't think that I could ever see her again. She was even more beautiful than I had remembered. She looked so sophisticated and she was so well spoken and professional. Then I realised that she didn't have a ring on her.

Inside I jumped for joy a bit, at the time I didn't know why but as soon as I was alone I realised that I was happy because I still wanted her. I man to admit that I was happy that I might still have a chance. I didn't think that she knew about Rosa, even then it wouldn't matter.

I thought that I would never ever see Abigail so being with Rosa made sense but now that I realise that I might actually get her back, I am beginning to reevaluate my relationship with Rosa. I know that I feel something for her, but it can't be compared to what I still feel for Abigail.

In seven years I have not been able to get her out of my mind, I have not been able to forget about her, no matter how many women I dated, no matter how many one night stands I have had, it has always been her that I wanted, I would often imagine her face when I was with other women.

Then I would get angry that some other man might be kissing her, touching her and making her feel good, that some other man be hearing her sweet moans when he makes love to her, that another man would be touching what's mine, I would then get rough.

After I came, I would lose interest, because when I woke up in the morning, that person was not my Abigail. After I couldn't handle thinking about her I went to her place and it looked like she was expecting someone.

It looked very much like a romantic dinner for two, I nearly threw everything off the table with rage, she even cooked for the guy. I always loved her cooking, she would come to my apartment and cook me food to last me days and now she's cooking for another man.

She threw me out and I left, or atleast she thought I did. I waited to see who was coming to dinner, then I saw a man dragging his Gucci suitcase to the private lift, I knew then it was him, that had to be him.

I left and went home, I was besides myself as I was very angry, when Rosa came home I was drunk out of my mind. We even had a brief argument and she left, she always does that when we fight, I always ran after her but this time I didn't.

She walked out and I let her, what's more is that I didn't even care that she had gone, Abigail might hate me now but I know that I can turn that around. I admit that I might have came in too strong but I can't help it. Now I know why those legs made me feel the way I did the other day.

Everything in my head is telling me to go after Rosa and make things right but my heart tells a different story, I love Abigail and I probably will always love her. It was not too hard to pretend that she never existed because she was far away from me but seeing her again, man it got me all twisted up inside.

Last night was bad but this morning it's twice as hard, the guy had a bag with him, no doubt that he stayed over. They probably slept in the main bedroom because it has a bigger bed. I feel like storming in there and tell the guy to kick rocks.

I wonder if Abigail knows the kind of effect she has on me. I had made breakfast and the only thing I managed to do was to stare at it. I pushed my plate away because I knew that there was no ways I was going to be able to eat.

I stood up and I went to get my car keys from the coffee table in the living room. I didn't even know where I was going, I just knew that I had to get out of the house before I got crazy. I just couldn't handle all this crap about Abigail being with another man.

I drove around and found myself at a park. I don't even know what I was doing there. I got out of the car and I went to sit on an empty bench near the swings. There was kids playing in the sand box, other where on the jungle gym.

When I saw two little boys playing soccer my heart was heavy, I wanted kids of my own someday but if I stay with Rosa, that might not happen. She made it clear that she was not the mothering type, she said that she doesn't want to be a mother. It's her body so it her choice.

I was sitting there watching the kids when an old man came and sat on the bench next to me.

"Mind if I sit next to you son?" he asked me. I don't know why he even bothered to ask because he had already taken a seat.

"No sir, you can sit." I said.

"So which one is yours?" he asked me.

"Excuse me?" I said.

"I mean the boys, which one is yours?" He asked me.

"Oh! No, I don't have any kids." I said.

"Okay, are you married? " He asked me.

"Nope, but I was engaged once." I said.

"Feels like there's a story there..." he said.

"Yes, there is, I didn't marry her..." I said with a heavy heart.

"Sounds like you wanted to ..." he said.

"Yes I did, I had never wanted something that much." I said.

"I'm married, I'm on wife number four now, it took me three wives to finally find the one who was perfect for me. She might have gotten away but there's still time son, live your life now whilst you can." he said .

"Well I plan on getting married just once, which is why I haven't gotten married yet." I said.

"I hear you son, but you see you're handsome and you look like you're doing well for yourself, don't waste your good years hanging on to someone that left you." he said.

"Actually I left her, two weeks after I proposed to her I left her and I broke her heart, now I saw her again and I don't know how to deal with it." I said.

"Son how long ago was this?" He asked me.

"Seven long years..." I said with a heavy heart.

"it sounds like you are not over this woman." he said.

"Sound like you are right, seeing her again after so long has somehow messed with me." I said.

"Well you can always try to make it right, that's if she's still available." the man said.

"Well she's seeing this guy but I don't think it's serious." I said.

"Son, don't get your hopes high, you left her for seven years, that's seven years of hidden rage and anger inside, it will not be easy to get her back and if she's worth it then don't give up on her." he said.

"Albert..." an old woman called out.

"That's my wife, I have to go. Take care of yourself young man." he said.

"Thanks for the talk, you have lovely time." I said as he walked to his beautiful wife. When he got to her he kissed and that walked together holding hands. My heart filled with joy to see them like that. That is what I want, I want to grow old with Abigail.

He said that I must fight for her and that is what I am going to do, starting now. I love Abigail, I have always loved her, I can't just let someone else take her after I had already lost so many years with her.

I got into my car and I drove to the city with one thing on my mind and that is to get Abigail back. First I had to find a way to get rid of that guy she's with. I found myself at a car dealership and I brought her a Hybrid, the Benz is a company car, this one will be hers.

I have always promised to give her the world. I want to start now. I know that they guy will feel insecure that an ex has gotten her such an expensive car. I then went to the florist and ordered a thousand red roses to be delivered at the penthouse.

I want to make my intentions very clear to her new boyfriend, he has to know that I am coming for what's mine, I am coming for Abigail and no one is going to stop me. Once this guy sees that I can take care of Abigail better than he could ever, he will have no choice but to step back.
