Julian’s words still hurt me deeply, so I hadn't told him about my terminal illness yet. Although he begged me to forgive him all through the night, he woke me up with breakfast in bed, a pancake with “I'm sorry” written with jam on it. Finally, I told him that it was fine and pushed him to go to work.
A few hours later, I was set for my doctor's appointment at another hospital. The man looked to be in his late sixties with the kindest eyes that, even when he confirmed my stage four brain cancer, it felt like he was telling me good news.
“May I know how many times you've run this test? You seem a bit taken aback, Mrs. Averton.”
I adjusted myself and forced a smile.
“Well, I just found out myself last week. Even my husband didn't know.”
He frowned. “You mean you've not taken any tests until then?”
“No, I have. But all the tests I have taken, the doctor said it was just a weak immune system.”
He sat up properly, his frown deepening.
“Well, that's weird. Cancers get detected as early as stage one. Did you take the test in a standard hospital?”
“Yes, I did. In fact, it's one of the top hospitals in the city.”
“Then it is impossible for a professional doctor not to have detected cancer until stage four. I don't know for what reason, but I believe the doctor lied to you.”
“What?” I echoed weakly.
Wait, that is possible. How could a professional doctor not have detected cancer till it got to stage four? Why didn't I think of this? But why would he lie to me?
I went back to the hospital, but when I got there, I was told he had gotten transferred to the branch in Melbourne earlier that week. But the nurse gave me the office line of the branch.
When I pulled over a cab, I dialed the number. It connected on the fourth ring.
“Hello. Hope Link Hospital, Dr. Gideon speaking. How may I help you?”
My eyes lit up.
“Dr. Gideon? This is Tessa Averton, Julian’s wife. You remember me, right?”
No response.
“Dr. Gideon. You need to be honest with me right now. Did you know I had brain cancer and hide it from my husband and me all along?”
No response. His silence confirmed it was true. Anger boiled inside me.
“So, it's true. How could you? You know you can get sued, right? Why would you even do that? Were you paid to—”
The line disconnected immediately. I dialed the number again right away, but it didn't go through the second time.
When I got home, the anger had doubled, questions swirling in my mind. Why would Dr. Gideon lie? Why would he make me think I was simply a weak person when all along I had brain cancer, and how could he have possibly kept that from me until I had just three weeks to live? No, Julian must have this man arrested, even if it's the last thing I do on this earth.
As I made my way up the stairs, noises from Lila’s room halted me. It wasn't just any noise; it was moans. Soft, deep, and controlled, as if trying but failing not to be heard.
Could he be the father of Lila’s child and the owner of the used condom? Although I know I should probably mind my business in regard to Lila’s personal life, curiosity got the best of me. I walked up to her bedroom door, seeing that it had been left open slightly, and peeped in.
My gaze settled on Lila, her hair bouncing and her body jerking forward as someone thrust into her from behind. She was on all fours on the bed, her breasts slapping gingerly, her lips parted to release soft moans.
Then I slowly lifted my gaze to settle on the man thrusting into her.

I Came Back To Ruin You WARNING
CHAPTER 39: The Warning CallJulian’s POVMy study was suffocating. I paced the length of the Persian rug, my phone pressed so hard against my ear that the plastic dug into my skin. The ice in my whiskey glass had melted hours ago, leaving a watered-down mess that tasted exactly like how I felt: diluted, weak, and bitterly cold.My man had failed. A simple perimeter check at Felix Vaughan’s estate, and he was chased off into the ravine like a frightened dog within minutes. Vaughan’s security was suffocating her, walling her off from me.But Tessa was mine. She had always been mine.I hit redial for the sixteenth time that night. The line rang. I expected it to go to voicemail—she had been ignoring me since she woke up from that damn brain surgery. But then, a sharp click echoed in my ear."What do you want, Julian?"Her voice was flat. No anger. No venom. Just a dull, exhausted irritation."Tessa," I breathed, stopping dead in my tracks. A frantic rush of relief hit my chest, quickly
I Came Back To Ruin You FENCE
CHAPTER 38: Watching the FenceTessa’s POVI stood by the reinforced glass of the master suite, staring into the dark tree line of Felix’s estate. Sleep was a luxury I couldn't afford tonight. My head throbbed, a dull reminder of the surgeon’s blade, but my mind was too loud to rest.A shadow shifted against the wrought-iron perimeter fence.I didn’t step back. I simply pressed my hand against the cool glass and tracked the movement. It wasn’t a guard. Felix’s men moved with purpose; this figure lingered, testing the boundary.I picked up the intercom on the nightstand. "Markus.""Yes, Ms. Watson?" The head of security answered instantly."South perimeter, just past the oak trees. Someone is testing the fence line.""Locking down. Stay away from the windows."I didn't move from the glass. The feeling of being hunted—the same crawling sensation I had in my past life when Julian's lies began closing in—rushed back. But I wasn’t the prey anymore.The bedroom door opened behind me. Felix
I Came Back To Ruin You DINNER
CHAPTER 37: The First DinnerFelix’s POVI set the table myself in the smaller dining room. No staff hovering. Just the two of us. Tessa walked in wearing a simple black dress, hair still damp from the shower she’d insisted on taking despite the nurses’ protests.“Sit,” I said, pulling out her chair.She dropped into it without comment. “Smells good. You cooked?”“Chef did. I told him to keep it light.” I sat across from her and poured wine. “How’s the head?”“Still attached.” She picked up her fork and started eating. No compliments. No wide eyes. Just straight to the food.I watched her. Most people in this house trip over themselves to tell me how impressive everything is. Tessa chewed like she was at a diner.“You’re quiet tonight,” I said.“Recovering from brain surgery tends to do that.” She took another bite. “This is decent. Thanks for dinner.”Decent. I almost laughed. “You’re the first person who’s ever called my chef’s work decent to my face.”She shrugged. “I call things l
I Came Back To Ruin You SURGERY
CHAPTER 36: The SurgeryTessa’s POVI pushed through the estate gates at six sharp, keys in hand. “I’m heading to the Crown. Tell Felix I’m back at my desk and I expect no interference.”The head of security stepped forward. “Ma’am, Mr. Vaughan said—”“I don’t care what he said. Move.” I didn’t wait for an answer. My driver pulled up and I climbed in, already dialing Francesca.“Morning. Pull every billing file from the last quarter. Red flags only. I’m walking in at nine.”“Got it, Tessa. Three accounts look off already.”“Good. Have them ready.”I hit the office running. Francesca met me at the door with a thick folder.“These vendors,” she said. “Payments don’t match deliveries.”I flipped it open. “Get the leads on the line. Now.”First call, I didn’t waste breath. “This is Tessa Averton. You overbilled the Crown by forty-two thousand. Wire it back within the hour or I send the auditors and your name hits every industry blacklist by lunch.”The man sputtered. “Ms. Averton, there m
I Came Back To Ruin You APOLOGY
Lila’s POVI tapped out the message fast, smirking at my phone screen.“Hey Tessa, it’s Lila. I know things have been horrible between us. I was wrong. Completely. Can we meet? I want to apologize in person and offer whatever help you need with the hotel mess. Family should stick together. Let me make it right.”I hit send, then blocked and unblocked her number so it would look fresh. Julian was still pacing downstairs like a caged animal. I didn’t care. Let him stay desperate. I needed Tessa to bite first.My phone buzzed almost immediately. Tessa.“What game is this, Lila? After cheating with my husband.”I grinned and typed back. “No game. I’m done fighting. Julian’s losing it and I see how wrong we both were. Lunch tomorrow? My treat. Please.”Three dots. Then: “One hour. Public place. Don’t waste my time. If you bring Julian along with you, I'll have you both arrested for stalking and luring.”“I swear, Tessa. Julian doesn’t know about this.She replied almost immediately: “Alrig
I Came Back To Ruin You PANIC
CHAPTER 34: Julian’s PanicJulian’s POVI slammed my laptop shut so hard the screen cracked. “What the hell do you mean it’s gone? The article. The photos. All of it—deleted!”My assistant’s voice trembled over the speaker. “Sir, every link is dead. Sites are showing 404 errors. Even the cached versions got wiped. Whoever did this has serious pull.”I paced the living room, phone gripped tight. “Find out who. Now. I want names.”Lila slipped in wearing nothing but my silk robe, hair tousled like she’d just rolled out of bed. She slid her arms around my waist from behind. “Julian, baby, come back to bed. Let me help you forget all this stress.”I shoved her off, harder than I meant to. “Not now, Lila. Tessa’s article vanished. Someone’s shielding her. Felix? Has to be that bastard.”Lila’s face twisted. “Again with Tessa? She’s done with you. Move on.”“Move on?” I laughed, sharp and ugly. “She’s mine. She was always mine. I watched her for through those feeds. Every tear, every meetin

CHAPTER FIVEJulian came in with Lila as usual. They were bickering like a young couple in love when they walked in.“Why are you staring at me like that?” Julian asked.She replied, “I’m trying to figure out why you stole my fries.”He frowned. “Your fries? You ordered extra. That’s relationship f

CHAPTER FOURI couldn’t see well. The door was blocking my view. The door only allowed me to see Lila. As I was about to nudge the door open to see the man, Lila’s face jerked upright and she saw me. She quickly pulled off the man and tossed him further into the room, out of my sight entirely. Her
