Chapter: Chapter 32Tessy’s POV“Fuck!” I gasped out, a high-pitched cry escaping my lips the moment he slid a second finger deep inside me.Ryder paused, looking up at me through heavy, dark eyes. “Are you okay?”“Yes... I’m... I’m okay,” I slurred, biting my lower lip hard as he established a rhythmic, steady thrust with his fingers.He lowered his head again, wrapping his warm lips around my sensitive clit while continuing to finger me at a torturous pace. A wave of pure heat crashed over me, causing me to completely lose my fucking mind.“Fuck, Ryder!” I let out an uninhibited moan as his pace picked up speed.The sensation building in my lower belly was pure bliss—so overwhelming, so intense that it almost felt like I needed to pee. Panic flared in my chest. I needed him to stop before—“Ryder, I think I’m about to...”“Don’t hold back, Tess,” he rasped against my skin, his thumb circling my clit relentlessly. “Don’t stop yourself.”“Ryder, I think you should—fuckkkk!”I screamed out his name, my en

Chapter: Chapter 31Tessy’s POVI shouldn’t feel this nervous... right?I had thought about this a hundred times in my head, and I knew I was making the right decision. At least, I truly hoped I was.I stood outside Ryder’s bedroom door, taking a slow, deep breath to steady my racing heart. I pushed the door open, my gaze instantly colliding with Ryder’s dark, waiting eyes. Panic flared in my chest, and I nervously snapped my gaze down to the floor.I walked into his room and set my bag down on the chair. God, this feels so awkward. Was I completely out of my mind asking him for an orgasm yesterday? I must have actually lost my sanity.“Are you okay?” Ryder asked gently, stepping closer.I looked up slightly, swallowing hard. “Yes, I’m fine. Why wouldn’t I be fine?”“You seem really nervous, Tessy,” he murmured, watching me carefully. “Don’t tell me you’re about to change your mind.”I could already picture the smug, teasing smirk forming on his handsome face, so I forced myself to look him dead in the e

Chapter: Chapter 30Ryder’s POV“What the hell did you just say?” I asked, needing to be absolute fucking certain of what I had just heard.“You heard me, Ryder. I want you to give me an orgasm,” Tessy repeated firmly.I stared at her. Was this a dream or real life? Because it sure as hell felt like a fever dream. I sneaked a pinch to my own arm.Ouch. Okay, it was real.“You don’t need to overthink it,” she added quickly, her cheeks flushing slightly. “It’s strictly going to be sex. I just want to be... experienced and ready when I’m finally with Tristan.”A small frown tugged at my forehead. “So you need me to fix your sex life? You want us to be fake-dating and friends with benefits?”“Yes. Friends with benefits until I orgasms—then we stop,” she bargained, holding her head high.I couldn't stop the slow, cocky smirk from spreading across my face. “Is this really the same Tessy? I honestly never expected the day to come where you’d be begging me to make you come.”Tessy looked away, a ripple of embarr

Chapter: Chapter 29Ryder’s POV“I think there’s trouble,” Owen said, pointing his stick toward Danny, who was standing by the rink barrier whispering into Coach’s ear. “What do you think he wants? He’s not telling Coach you’re messing with his girl, is he?”“What the fuck are you talking about?” I snapped, annoyance flaring in my chest. “I don’t even speak to Rebecca anymore.”“Okay, okay! Don’t get all defensive about it—I was just messing around,” Owen chuckled, throwing his hands up in mock surrender. “I’m skating away now before you headbutt me.”He glided off, leaving me letting out a heavy sigh of frustration.What the hell is Danny doing over there? What are they talking about?Danny finally walked away, leaving Coach talking to Tristan. A second later, both of their gazes shifted across the ice and landed directly on me.What the fuck is going on?Tristan skated over to where I was leaning against the board.“Danny has officially lost his fucking mind,” Tristan grunted, unbuckling his helmet str

Chapter: Chapter 28Tessy’s POV“Oh my goodness, move!” I hissed, forcefully shoving Ryder off me.As the sharp knocking continued against the bedroom door, I scrambled out of his bed, frantically smoothing down my rumpled dress and running my fingers through my messy hair. I pulled open the door just enough to see my mother standing in the hallway, looking between the two of us.“Mom,” I squeaked out, my voice way too high-pitched.“Are you both okay in here?” she asked, concern lacing her tone.“Yes! We’re totally fine. I’m completely done looking at his room now, so I should really leave,” I blurted, stepping past her and rushing straight down the hallway.What the hell is wrong with me? I scolded myself, my face burning with embarrassment. Why do I keep letting him kiss me like that?Downstairs in the main foyer, Ryder’s dad looked up with a warm smile playing on his lips. “Tessy, your mom was just asking if you two wanted to stay and watch a movie with us.”“I’m so sorry, Mr. King,” I excused myself

Chapter: Chapter 27Ryder’s POV“Wow, Dad... you’re really going all out for tonight,” I said, a bitter edge of annoyance coating my words as I watched him adjust the dining table arrangements. “You’re throwing a dinner party in the exact house we built with Mom.”My dad paused, letting out a sharp sigh. “Not now, Ryder. Go upstairs and dress up nicely. I want tonight to be perfect.”My jaw tightened into a hard frown. “Of course, Dad. It’ll be absolutely perfect.”I turned on my heel and headed upstairs toward my old bedroom, annoyance thrumming beneath my skin. I hadn't stepped foot in this house in years. Walking through these hallways felt eerie; every corner was steeped in memories of my mother. My eyes drifted to the framed canvas paintings lining the walls. Mom and I had painted every single one of them together. Despite the ache in my chest, a small, nostalgic smile pulled at my lips.“Don’t worry, Mom,” I whispered softly to the empty hall. “I remember what you told Dad—that you didn’t want him

Chapter: Chapter 103Anna stood frozen on the steps outside the courthouse, the afternoon sun warming her face, yet her mind was completely numb. She couldn't believe it. She had actually won.Mr. Jeffery would spend the rest of his life behind bars. It was a case she had braced herself to fight for, expecting endless delays and grueling battles, but justice had finally prevailed.“You did it,” Anthony’s mom said softly, her voice gently pulling Anna back to reality. “You finally got justice for your parents.”Anna turned to her, a tearful, disbelieving smile breaking across her face. “This is all because of you. You made this possible.”“No,” Anthony’s mom insisted, shaking her head with a warm smile. “I won’t take the credit for any of this. You did this, Anna. Your strength got us here.”“Mom is right, Anna. My father deserves this and so much more,” Lola added, her voice firm.Before Lola could say another word, the heavy double doors of the courthouse swung open. Mr. Anthony—handcuffed and flanked by

Chapter: Chapter 102“Let me go!” Anthony yelled, slamming his fists against the bedside table and crashing everything in his hospital room to the floor.The nurses tried to hold him back, but he violently pushed them away. “Where is Anna? I want to see Anna!” he added, dragging his hands through his hair and shaking his head repeatedly as he tried to break past them. He made a desperate run for the door, but the nurses were finally able to pin him down on the bed. One of them quickly injected a sedative into his arm. Even as the drug entered his system, Anthony continued to fight, struggling to free himself from their grip until his eyelids grew heavy and his eyes slowly started to close.Outside the glass observation window, Anna’s eyes welled with tears as she watched him fall still. Her heart breaking, she reached for the handle to go inside, but the doctor stepped in her path, stopping her from entering.“Doctor, are you sure this will work?” she asked, deep concern laced in her tone.“Yes, so you do

Chapter: Chapter 101“I’m scared of how possessive you have become of me,” Anna said, the confession tearing out of her throat as hot tears finally welled in her eyes. She looked down at where Anthony's fingers were clamped white around her wrists. “I know you are scared that I might leave. But I am telling you, Anthony, I will never leave you, but…”Anthony’s eyes widened, the pupils contracting into sharp, dark points as his grip tightened even more.“But what?” he demanded, his voice cracking with a raw, terrifying desperation.“If you don’t get treated, then I don’t think I can continue our relationship,” she said, forcing the words out even though they felt like glass in her throat.“You just said you will never leave me!” Anthony's voice broke completely, a teary, frantic edge taking over as he scrambled closer to her on the bed. His face twisted in pure agony. “So why on earth are you saying this to me right now? Why, Anna?”“I said I won’t leave only if you agree to be treated,” Anna countered, he

Chapter: Chapter 100"What are you thinking about?"Anna’s voice broke through the fog in Anthony's mind. Instantly, a bright smile forced its way onto his face at the mere sight of her. He stood up from the couch as she approached."Here, drink this," she said, handing him a small cup with his medication. Anthony took it from her, swallowing the pills without breaking eye contact. "Good. You’ll be back to yourself in no time," she added, her lips curving into a warm smile."Thank you," he murmured."You don’t need to thank me. I just want you to get better," she replied softly.A faint, heavy smile touched Anthony's lips. The guilt in his chest was suffocating. "You shouldn’t have had to see me like that, Anna. I am really sorry," he said, a distinct hint of sadness bleeding into his tone. "But you don't have to worry, okay? You won't ever have to see me like that again."Anna offered a small half-smile, stepping closer until she stood right in front of him. She reached up, placing a calm, comforting han

Chapter: Chapter 99Anthony opened his eyes, his dazed gaze instantly fixing on the bedroom ceiling above him. A sudden flash of realization hit him, and his eyes widened in stark panic. He bolted upright in his bed, frantically repeating Anna's name as he tried to scramble out of the mattress."Hey, wait a minute! You can’t get up," Lola said, her voice laced with deep concern as she rushed over and firmly pressed her hands against his chest, pushing him back down. She pointed sharply toward the IV line taped securely into his arm. "You still aren't well, Anthony.""Where is Anna? Where is she?!" Anthony demanded, his voice cracking with sheer panic as his eyes wandered wildly around the perimeter of his room."I am here," a soft voice called out.Anna stepped into his line of sight with a gentle smile on her face, causing the overwhelming panic in Anthony's chest to instantly reduce. He couldn't help but smile back at her, his breathing finally slowing down."Anna, please come to me," he whispered, hol

Chapter: Chapter 98Anna’s eyes widened in sheer horror as a thick, crimson stream of blood began to slip rapidly from Anthony's wrist. A sharp gasp tore from her throat, and she screamed, the sound laced with a heavy, tearful panic."Why would you do that?!" Anna cried out, stumbling forward to close the distance between them.Anthony didn't even seem to notice the pain. His gaze was entirely locked onto her, glassy and desperate. "You won’t leave me... will you?""Anthony, this is absolute insanity! You are mad!" she sobbed, her hands shaking violently as she looked at the growing pool of blood."You won’t leave me... would you?"Suddenly, his knees buckled. The powerful, commanding man collapsed onto the floor, sinking to his knees as tears rolled down his hollow eyes. He looked up at her, utterly broken. "Please, Anna," he choked out, his chest heaving so violently it felt as though his heart might burst right through his ribs. "I am nothing without you."Anna stood frozen, completely terrified. She
