The sun felt like it was burning through Tessa’s scalp, mixing with the storm of thoughts spinning uncontrollably inside her head.

"Do you still love him?" Adrian asked, standing over her while she sat slumped on the deck.

Tessa forced herself to look up, but the sunlight was too blinding. Her vision blurred, and it was impossible to read the expression hiding behind his gaze.

"No."

"You think I’m that stupid, Tessa?" He let go of her arm and stepped closer, erasing what little distance remained between them. The position put her face level with his stomach, which made her skin crawl. She tried to stand, but his hand pushed down on her shoulder, forcing her to stay put.

"Why do girls always fall for assholes?"

"I didn’t—"

"You never give good guys a chance," he cut her off sharply. "You always choose the bastard who treats you like garbage. I accepted my defeat two years ago when you decided to marry him. I left the country to volunteer, did great things, proved I was a good man. And

  • My Ex-Husband’s Vengeful Obsession   Chapter 104: Emergency Call

    The engine howled like a wounded animal, devouring the asphalt at a speed that would make any traffic cop go pale. Nathan knew he had broken at least five laws. He did not care. His foot never left the gas.Jack followed close behind in a black SUV, running escort. His hazard lights swept the road ahead like the bow of a ship cutting through waves.The world beyond the windshield blurred into streaks of light and shadow. Inside Nathan’s head, one name echoed in time with his heartbeat.Tessa.The baby? Complications? Bleeding? A heart problem?Every possibility felt worse than the last, trapping his thoughts in a ruthless spiral. The doctor’s overly urgent tone, followed by the call cutting off without explanation, made everything feel ten times more terrifying.He slammed on the brakes at the ER entrance. Tires screamed, drawing shocked looks from bystanders. Nathan did not care. He jumped out before the engine fully died and ran inside, Jack right on his heels.“My wife!” Nathan sho

    Charles’s smile widened, twisted and terrifying. It didn’t reach his eyes, which were completely empty.“You’re young and don’t know anything yet, I get it,” Charles said, like he’d just told a terrible joke. “Relax. Your time will come. You’ll figure it out on your own.”Tessa’s mind raced. None of this made sense. Was he even sober?“Cut the crap and the games. I’m not here to solve your pathetic little mystery,” she snapped, without hesitation.Charles ignored her insult. He stepped closer, and Tessa held her breath.“Your father told me to pass a message to you.”The world seemed to stop. Her father? Talking to Charles? Impossible. Her father hated Charles. He knew Charles was the one who put him in prison.“That’s not possible,” Tessa said, shaking her head. “He wouldn’t...”“You’ll see him soon enough,” Charles interrupted, his voice almost theatrical. “Be patient, little Tessa. I’ll free you from that monster’s grip.”The words, coming from Charles’s cold, calculating tone, sou

    The white glare of the hospital room lights pressed down on her. The monitor beside Tessa’s bed let out a steady, monotonous beep, keeping time with her heartbeat. The sound was a constant reminder that despite the earlier panic, both she and the baby were fine.Dr. Bennett had just left after reviewing her latest test results, a satisfied smile visible even behind his mask.A few weeks ago, her heart issues had felt endless. Now everything was under control thanks to the medication. The idea of having to take it every day for the rest of her life wasn’t pleasant, but it was far better than the risk of things getting worse and endangering her baby or herself.“Everything looks good, Mrs. Hale,” Dr. Bennett had said earlier. “Your liver enzymes are back within normal range. The baby’s development is right on track. Honestly, this is an excellent example of well managed high risk pregnancy.”The words brought a wave of relief. After all the chaos, at least one thing was finally going ri

    “Why are we here?” Tessa asked.Nathan didn’t answer. He shut off the engine, stepped out of the car, then walked around to open her door. His face was serious, but not angry. More like someone who had already made a decision and wasn’t backing down.That was when Tessa saw them. Doctors standing at the hospital entrance, white coats on, looks of expectation on their faces. Her liver specialist. Her OB. Both clearly waiting.The realization hit her hard, like a punch to the gut. That phone call. How quickly Nathan had agreed to take her out. Not to meet a detective like he said. This was a setup. A trap to drag her to the hospital.The thing was, if Nathan had just asked her to see a doctor, she wouldn’t have refused. She wouldn’t have minded at all. What she couldn’t understand was why he had to lie, like an adult tricking a kid with candy when the real destination was the dentist.“Traitor,” she whispered without meaning to. It wasn’t anger in her voice, just pure shock.Nathan, app

  • My Ex-Husband’s Vengeful Obsession   Chapter 100: The Warning

    Nathan yanked the steering wheel toward an exit ramp, forcing the car into a sharp turn. The move dragged the truck behind them into the narrow curve, nearly tipping it over. Somehow, the vehicle managed to regain its balance, then surged forward again with a terrifying determination.“What do they want?” Tessa asked, her voice tight as her fingers dug into the seat.“Us,” Nathan said shortly, swerving around another car in a sudden maneuver that made their vehicle fishtail dangerously.That was when, through the rearview mirror, Nathan saw Julian’s car flash into view like a streak of silver. It slipped neatly between them and the truck, positioning itself as a living shield.Nathan’s brow lifted, half shocked, half disbelieving.He had to admit it. That third-rate lawyer had guts.“What is he doing?” Tessa asked, eyes wide as she followed Julian’s movements.Nathan didn’t answer. His focus was absolute. His mind raced, searching for an opening, a way out.Julian forced the truck to

    It was already ten at night, but the detective clearly had no intention of waiting any longer to say what he had just uncovered.The engine roared beneath the hood, a sound that usually calmed Nathan. Tonight, it did the opposite. His fingers tapped restlessly against the steering wheel, his gaze shifting between the road ahead and the rearview mirror. Behind them, Julian Steele’s car stayed close, clinging like a shadow.In the passenger seat, Tessa sat quietly, staring out the window. Her small hand moved slowly, gently rubbing her stomach.Nathan felt the tension in her silence. The meeting at the office earlier had left behind a sour feeling that still hadn’t faded.Without thinking, he slid his right hand off the wheel and rested it on Tessa’s thigh. The touch made her body flinch, as if pulled back from her thoughts. She turned to him, green eyes shining a little too brightly.Nathan forced himself to look back at the road. “I don’t like that guy,” he said, trying to sound calm
