Nathan’s car was still parked in front of the auction building, the engine humming quietly. Across the street, Nolan Pierce stood with Eric, smoking a cigarette as Nathan walked toward them.

The memory of that night came back. Sharp, brutal, unforgettable. The bar. The smell of alcohol and smoke. Nolan’s rough hands tearing her blouse while Eric held her down. The slurred insults, the heat of their breath. Only luck and the courage to fight back had saved her from something far worse.

And now he was here. Smiling, like none of it had ever happened. But Nathan knew everything.

What is Nathan planning to do? she thought, her chest tightening.

“Miss Caldwell,” Nathan’s driver called from the front seat, his silver hair catching the light from the dashboard. His voice was laced with worry. “Mr. Hale said you’re not supposed to leave the car.”

Tessa didn’t answer. Her eyes were fixed on Nolan, who had just crushed his cigarette against the wall before following Nathan and Eric toward the b

  • My Ex-Husband’s Vengeful Obsession   Chapter 128: Julian’s Final Payment

    The air in the courtroom felt heavy, thick with tension you could almost cut with a knife. Beside Tessa, Nathan sat as still as a statue. His hand wrapped around hers, gripping so tightly it should have hurt, if not for the tight knot of anxiety that had been lodged in her stomach all morning. Jack and Tyler sat right behind them, there as friends.On the defendant’s bench sat Charles Remington. He looked thinner, paler, but his eyes still held that cruel, arrogant glint she had always associated with him. Only today, that glint seemed dimmer under the weight of the overwhelming evidence Julian had presented.Tessa wasn’t afraid of him anymore. The nightmares about him still came, but less often now. They didn’t haunt her the way they used to. Sometimes they appeared, but not with the same force.One by one, the charges were read out loud by the judge. Each word landed like a hammer sealing his fate. Large-scale fraud, tax evasion, aiding a fugitive, kidnapping, torture, and premedita

  • My Ex-Husband’s Vengeful Obsession   Chapter 127: Everything Ends Tomorrow

    The bar smelled like cigarette smoke and alcohol. When the bartender saw Nathan finishing his drink, he immediately poured another glass.Nathan sat there alone, waiting. He didn’t like waiting, but tonight mattered. It was almost monumental, because tomorrow, everything would end.A perfume, far too sweet for his taste, drifted into his senses. Then, not long after, perfectly manicured nails brushed his shoulder."Long time no see, Nathan," a confident, familiar female voice whispered near his ear. "Still busy as always?"Nathan turned just slightly to look at her. She was tall, dark-haired, impeccably dressed. He recognized her vaguely, maybe from a charity dinner or a museum board meeting. He couldn’t remember her name and didn’t feel the need to."Yeah," he said shortly, hoping she’d take the hint that he wasn’t interested in chatting.She didn’t get the hint. She slid onto the stool next to him, resting her chin on her hands."Such a shame. Nights like this are boring… and there

  • My Ex-Husband’s Vengeful Obsession   Chapter 126: A Small Signal from Within

    Tessa was already six months pregnant. Her belly was round and tight, and every kick and every little shift was a constant reminder of the tiny person growing inside her.That day, Nathan finally took an entire afternoon to shop for what he considered the baby’s essential supplies. Or at least, what Nathan thought counted as essential.They walked through the aisles of an upscale baby store that looked more like a modern art gallery than a normal shop. Everything was white and minimalist, with the scent of fresh cotton and expensive wood in the air. Most of it actually wasn’t Tessa’s taste. She preferred things with color, either blue or green.Nathan was pushing the cart with the same focus he usually saved for multi-billion-dollar mergers.“We need hypoallergenic towels,” he said, checking a stack of soft fluffy towels that looked like they could fall apart with a single wrong move. “And organic cotton for his body. I don’t want his skin getting irritated.”Tessa just nodded and smi

  • My Ex-Husband’s Vengeful Obsession   Chapter 125: The Queen and Her Little Prince

    The cold gel on Tessa’s stomach made her shiver, but the tremor running through her body came more from nerves than temperature. After weeks of waiting, the day was finally here. The anatomy scan. Twenty weeks. Halfway there. And most importantly, today they would find out if the tiny kicker inside her was a boy or a girl.Nathan sat beside her on the narrow chair in the exam room. His posture was straight, hands resting on his knees, expression calm. But Tessa knew him too well. She saw the tension in his jaw, the quicker blink of his eyes, the fingers pressing lightly into the fabric of his pants. He was just as wound up, even if he always looked like he had the world under control.Silence hung heavy in the room, broken only by the soft hum of the machine. Tessa needed a distraction before the tension pushed her into panic. She was not only waiting to hear the gender. She needed to know the baby was healthy.“Hey,” Tessa said, turning to Nathan. “Seriously, if it’s a girl, what are

  • My Ex-Husband’s Vengeful Obsession   Chapter 124: Karen Hale

    Deciding to face Karen Hale was anything but easy. The memory of her cold stare, her quiet disapproval heavier than any shouted anger, made Tessa’s palms sweat. Karen was Nathan’s aunt, the woman who had stepped in as his guardian after both his parents died. She had raised him, shaped him, and become the last stronghold of the Hale family.Karen had just arrived from Amsterdam, and from their phone conversation alone, it was clear she didn’t like Tessa because of her family background.But Tessa was tired of walking on eggshells in her own life. Tired of the shadows of the past and the tension that never truly went away. If she wanted to rebuild her life, she had to start by healing the cracks around her. At least, that was what her therapist said.She met Karen in the greenhouse, on the grounds of a house Karen owned but rarely stayed in anymore. Karen stood there in gardening gloves and a wide-brimmed hat, watering her orchids with meticulous care, as if the world outside that smal

  • My Ex-Husband’s Vengeful Obsession   Chapter 123: The First Kick

    That night, Tessa slept restlessly. Something felt off.Was it another nightmare? No. This felt too real.Her eyes flew open in the darkness. The room was quiet, filled only with the steady sound of Nathan’s breathing beside her. Tessa placed both hands on her stomach, her heart starting to race. What was that? Was this normal?She had felt something, just for a moment. Not sharp pain, not cramps either. It was a strange sensation deep in her belly, like a soft flutter from the inside, a foreign movement she didn’t recognize.It disappeared so quickly she almost convinced herself it was nothing. Maybe she had imagined it, half-awake from a dream. But seconds later, it happened again.The baby. Something was happening to her baby.Her eyes widened as she became fully alert.All the problems she had been dealing with lately suddenly felt like real threats again. The miscarriage risk the doctor had warned her about early on, the liver issues, the mental pressure that had been building fo
