LOGINTessa“How are you feeling being at work after a long time, Tess?”Adrian asked me. We concluded a three hours long meeting with a new energy.“Yes, I do feel good but at the same time I feel I have missed a lot in my continuous absence. I feel it’s unfair that my team is working tirelessly while I sit at home and give them instructions.” I replied.“Tessa, it’s okay. You were not in a condition to work for long hours and maternity leave is sanctioned to all my married female employees.” He said.I shook my head. “No, Adrian, I feel like a failed boss so I want you to replace me with someone capable and fully devoted person for this position. Trust me, I will support it.” I confessed.He turned so we were standing face to face.“Tessa, I understand your dilemma and trust me I know what I am doing and, in my eyes, you are the right person for the position. It is your dream. Someone else can’t do it in your place.” He tried to explain it to me.I looked down at the sketches scattered o
Tessa“Sorry, princess. Daddy can’t hold you.” Logan was talking to his daughter who was in my arms.The girl who had been fussy for days, now giggling and making sounds after seeing her father. It was clear that she adored her father more than me whereas Lucas clung to my side.“Enough time with Lena. I think you should have your dinner now and rest.” I said but his smile faltered.“Can I spend some more time with the kids? I know the hospital environment isn’t the best place for them but I get bored here.” Logan said.I could understand him so I nodded my head but it was uncomfortable to lean on his bed side with a baby in my arms.“You can sit down here, I won’t bite you nor I am contagious.” Logan said patting the space beside him but it was a hospital bed, narrow for two people without brushing against each other.But my arms were paining after holding Lena for more than ten minutes in an uncomfortable position so I sat down on the edge of the bed with her in my lap now.“You can
Tessa“This is a risky plan. I think we should gather more information about this Italian guy. If he has possible links with Logan’s accident, then it means he had only targeted Logan. Maybe he’s insecure with Logan. Raelynn is two timing if our guess is correct.” Felix said.“Then we should expose Ms. Cowper so she’d be out of Tessa’s hair for good.” Adrian added.“Let’s stay low profile and keep a close eye on this Riccardo guy. Maybe, it’s Raelynn. We don’t know until we have solid proofs. Logan narrowly escaped death and this is something we can’t just ignore.’ I said.“Then let’s end today’s meeting. We can’t let them suspect us because three of us are meeting at one place. If they’re keeping a track on Tessa, they’d know and get alerted.” Felix said.“Okay, I am heading home now. Be careful both of you with what you’d do to dig more concrete information on Raelynn.” I advised them and we parted our ways.I was on my way to home, my phone rang displaying Logan’s number. I forgot
Tessa“You should go home, Tessa. Exhaustion is clearly written on your face and I don’t want you to fall sick when I am not able to look after you.”“You never babysit me so save it and look at yourself.” I rolled my eyes and adjusted his bed once he finished his breakfast which was a liquid porridge.“How is Garry’s family?” He asked me in a low voice.“I met his mother and wife yesterday. They’re devastated but I have assured them that we’ll take care of their family.” I said.“I can’t believe how did it happen. He was driving on a normal speed but all of a sudden a speedy tanker came from the other side and then it happened so fast.” He spoke.I looked up at him.“Logan, do you think that someone tried to kill you? I mean how could a random tanker came and hit you when the road was all clear. It doesn’t make sense to me.” I said.The air became tensed.“I’ll look into this matter once I’ll be fit again. Please, don’t involve yourself in this because I don’t want you and kids to be
TessaMy vision blurred with tears of pain and happiness simultaneously.I was finally able to see Logan who laid on the hospital bed, injured and under deep sleep due to the effects of sedatives.It wasn’t less than a miracle that he survived a fatal accident in which his driver died on the spot because the impact was on the left side of the car while Logan was sitting on the right side. But he was still injured. His head was bumped against the car window.He had deep cuts on his abdomen and legs and had stitches on most of them.He lost his consciousness due to loss of blood.But he survived what mattered to me the most.“Wake up soon. You scared me, Logan.” I whispered.He couldn’t see me so I let down my guards and expressed my weak side. I loved him, I loved him more than anyone in this world.The accident made me realize that wherever I go, I’d never forget him.He’d be in my heart forever.I carefully touched his forehead. His body was cold.“Please, get well soon because it’s
TessaI paced too and fro in the living room. It was around ten in the night but Logan wasn’t home yet. He said that he’d be late or probably stay at a hotel but he texted me around seven that he was heading back home.It had been three hours and there was no sign of him. His phone and his driver’s phone were also unavailable which increased my anxiety more.I hoped he was fine.But the uneasiness that I had been feeling since he left, it was only increasing with passing time. It wasn’t the first time when Logan was late but the fear was different.Suddenly, my phone rang, it was Logan’s number and I answered it without waiting for another second.“Hello, Logan where are you? Have you entered the city yet?” I asked him without waiting for him to speak first.“Hello, Ma’am, am I speaking to Mrs. Tessa Wilferd?” I heard a different voice.It alarmed me and I also heard sirens in the background.“Yes, I am but who are you and what are you doing with my husband’s phone? Where is he?” I tr
Tessa “Mommy, can you drop me at school today?” Lucas, who was ready to go to school, asked me.Usually, his driver or Logan used to drop him at his school and my routine was to pick him after school but his strange behaviour since the morning worried me. He was clingier, always sticking by my sid
Tessa “Mrs. Wilferd, is there any issue at your house? Please, don’t get me wrong but what Lucas did today, it was shocking for all of us. He’s such a good kid who behaves well but today he aggressively pushed his classmate and also punched him.”Lucas’ teacher told me something very disturbing and

Logan“Hey, love. I am sorry, I had to drop Mom at her friend’s place. I hope I hadn’t made you and Lucas wait for long.”Raelynn took hurried steps towards me and wrapped her slender arms around me for a tight hug. The mention of his mother made me remember the bruise on Tessa’s arm. I decided to t
