Marrying the billionaires son

Another note?

Colton's p.o.v

I walk into my office and start pacing the room waiting for Patricia to come in.

Moments later the door cracks open and Patricia's head peaks in.
" sir I brought you the file you asked for and a note had arrived late last night for you."
Her heels click as she walks to me handling a file and envelope to me.

I thank her and she leaves. I sit down and decide to open the envelope first. It might be from Grey. Ripping the envelope open I pull out the paper. My eyes scan the long note to find who it's from at the bottom. Greys father Randel. I read the note fast

I have evidence that will put your dad in jail for a very long time. He's been stealing money from the company. Grey and you don't deserve to be happy. If you don't divorce her soon my friend on the outside will release the files of your dad.

Back from the dead one last time
       
                            - Randel

I stand up immediately forcing myself not to punch the wall or the desk. I sit down in my chair again once I've settled a bit. This could wreck my dad and put him in prison for awhile. I'm not ready to take over the company fully. The company, my dads life could go down the drain. My mind travels to Grey.

She's so precious and deserves the best with all that has happened to her.

If I can resolve this quietly my dad might not have to go to jail.

Besides Grey can find someone better.

Grey's P.O.V

"Oh shit did you just see she turned him into a fuckin zombie! Whyyyyyy" tris screams then sobs. I just home she doesn't throw her spoon at the tv while watching izombie. I bring another massive junk of ice cream to my face and eat it. The episode cuts off and tris is quick to hit play on the next one. While the episode loads

"I mean come on! The asshole was just chill about talking to his dad about a divorce!" I yell while waving my spoon around.

Tris gives me a look and pauses the show.

"Grey you've been having these little out bursts every 15 minutes are you sure you don't want to talk about it?"

"No No you enjoy your movie."

She hits play again.

Moments later

"That bastard you know I'm demanding his father give me my 2 million up front for my trip."

"Listen Grey just chill I got your card all set up and plane ticket to Spain. You can pay me back whenever. I just wish you weren't moving so far away."

I burry myself deeper into the couch and blankets. Hugging the tub of chocolate ice cream to my stomach like it's my baby I say " I just have to get as far away as possible to clear my head. I'll move back in a year. Besides that's when my card expires anyways."

" hi Mr. Dalton this is Grey." I speak through the phone.

"I was calling because I'm sure you've heard about my dad. I'm assuming the deal no longer stands so I'll sign the divorce papers collect my 2 million and be on my way."

He talks for a bit on the other end.

"Great I'll be at your office in 40 minutes." I hang up , grab my purse and tris's keys.

Walking into the office I rush to Dalton's office. I give a silent prayer to God that Dalton's office is 3 floors above Colton's.

"Why if it isn't my favorite daughter in law!" Dalton greets me with a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Let's just skip the fake nice talk and move on to the papers and a few other things shall we?"

Dalton hands me a stack of papers "read all of this and if you agree sign the bottom."

I nod and start reading

Moments into reading I stop " It says here I only get one million but we had agreed on two million."

"We had agreed on two million if you stayed married to my son for 2 years not almost 5 months. You should be grateful I'm giving you the 1 million plus a job as Colton's personal assistant whenever you want."

"Why would I ever want to work as a personal assistant for my ex?"

"Lets be honest you just married him in hopes he would fall in love with you so you wouldn't ever have to work again. You could be his personal whore." Dalton states calmly.

I throw the papers on the desk. "You know what! Just forget it. You and your son are complete asses anyways and I don't fucking need the money anyway!"

I stand up and walk away slamming the door as I leave.

"That bastard I can't believe he's a a -
The elevator dings and the doors open. I stand in shock as Colton walks in. He stops when he sees me. I do a quick scan of him to make sure he's ok. He has a slight frown on his face and he's clothes are wrinkled and he has bags under his eyes.
He steps into the elevator. I could swim through the tension in the air as the elevator doors close.

I can't help it "you know your dads an asshole."

"Now you know where I get it from." He gives me a small smile and wink.

I can't help but smile "Yea like father like son I guess."

He frowns at my words. "So Spain huh?" He says.

I stare at him in shock.
"You do realize Tris can never keep a secret?"

The elevator dings signaling we reached ground floor.

Colton walks out and so do I . He starts walking the opposite way.

"Colton I this might be the last time we I see you and I have to tell you.

I love you"

Colton's lips form a sad smile. He nods his head and walks away.

Hope this long chapter makes up for the short chapter. So I had a great big long letter from dalton but I accidentally deleted it. So I made a shorter version.
