Seven years have flown by, but every step Tessa has taken has been one she hasn't forgotten. No matter what happened in her past, her feet had arrived in the city of Seattle.The city of wounds.Tessa pulled her suitcase out of the airport. she didn't expect to be greeted like everyone else who seemed to be hugging happily. she went alone so Tessa would come back alone too.Her eyes only looked forward. The sunglasses and mask covering her face were almost unrecognizable, plus the black hat covering her head. Her style was completely casual, wearing only a plain white t-shirt and jeans with rips at the knees. He stopped out front, waiting for a taxi that could take him to an address. "Tessa." Deg...Tessa's heart stopped in place as her eyes blurred, seeing Axel's face standing in the distance with the girl holding his right hand.Tessa tried to swallow her saliva to clear her suddenly choked throat. She had to get used to this from now on because that was what she had come back for
"You're awake."The baritone voice came back as Tessa's footsteps came out of her room. Tessa thought Axel had gone to work, but he was still at the dining table with his little daughter. "Hmm." Tessa just mumbled that she didn't know what to do. Because it felt, well, too foreign. "Sit down, let's eat together." Axel stood up from his seat and pulled out a chair for Tessa to sit on. Tessa was silent as Axel returned the sweet gesture that made her feel Dejavu. Instead of sitting in the chair Axel had prepared, Tessa chose to pull out a new chair for herself. This meant that she wanted to show Axel she would no longer follow his requests.Axel was silent when he saw Tessa sitting in another chair. Meanwhile, he had high hopes before. But Axel covered his disappointment with a big smile as he walked to the pantry picked up a glass of chocolate milk and poured it into a glass cup. Tessa noticed there was already one glass of chocolate milk on the table. Then why would Axel bring bac
Tessa looked at the branded bag in front of her. Tessa was looking for an expensive bag that would be a special gift, on Dara's birthday. It was the witch's birthday tomorrow and of course, Tessa wasn't going to miss the opportunity to show her face in front of Dara."May I help you, Miss?" Tessa turned her head and saw the shop assistant approaching her, Tessa smiled slightly. "Recommend which bag you think is suitable for a woman in her 60s?" Tessa asked the waitress who immediately touched one of the bags in the glass display case.A light brown bag that Tessa had looked at before, the waiter's hand took the bag out, from the glass display case and showed it to Tessa."What do you think Miss? This colored bag is a trend among women in the 60s Vintage and luxurious." The waitress again explained to Tessa the advantages which, according to Tessa, were very appropriate for Dara's use. "Okay, I'll buy this. But, please break the inside." Tessa immediately took out her Black card an
"Why did he come back!!!" Dara clutched the expensive dress she was wearing.Her eyes stared intently at the gifts she received on her birthday. However, one gift in between remained the highlight of Dara's eyes. It was from a woman whom Dara never expected to reappear and dare to appear in front of her and Xander. Dara thought Tessa was long dead! Since the incident seven years ago she had completely disappeared from the face of the earth.One thing Dara always remembered. That woman Tessa looked different, more like she was staring at Dara with a glint that Dara found very dangerous. I wondered what that cheap woman would do to her life.Dara walked over to the table and picked up the paper bag that she recognized as an expensive brand. Dara ventured to see what Tessa had given her, her hand opening the box and touching the expensive bag that looked beautiful inside.This bag had been Dara's lyrics last Sunday. However, she didn't expect to get it from that cheap woman Tessa. Dara t
Tessa opened her eyes. The atmosphere of Grandma Camelia's house was so soothing, that Tessa didn't go home to Axel last night. She chose to stay over at Grandma's house as she heard many things and learned many new facts. Tessa lifted her arms to stretch before her feet slid off the wooden bed, which had a soft mosquito net. Tessa's feet treaded on the fur rug that felt so soft, her feet continued to step through the balcony window and up to the boundary fence. The cool, fresh atmosphere was so tranquil. Grandma Camelia's house was very vintage. There were still many furniture, decorations, and colors that had an 80s vibe in front of the balcony. Roses and various other flowers look beautiful on the balcony. Tessa heard the sound of her cell phone. She turned her body around, left the balcony, and walked to the bed. Trying to find her cell phone among the many pillows, Tessa finally found hers.Tessa's breath seemed to stop as she saw Hardin's name on the line. It's so hard to swa
"You're in Seattle?" Hardin stood a meter away from Tessa's current position.Hardin doesn't know what else to say. It was devastating to know all this, the home he had come to think of as home. But apparently, that home wasn't enough to keep someone there waiting in peace.Now Hardin knows that no matter how long you're together, no matter how hard you try. Still, the winner is the old man who keeps his heart."Hardin I can explain to you." Tessa tries to move closer to Hardin.Hardin just smiles a little, he backs away from his footsteps as Hardin doesn't want to hear Tessa's explanation. Hardin raises his hand and stops Tessa from taking another step towards him."Tessa just stay there." Hardin smiles a little before he turns around and walks away.Hardin gets into his car and starts his Ferrari, leaving Axel's apartment. As Hardin speeds through the streets of Seattle, Hardin smiles and then laughs like a fool as tears fall down his cheeks. Hardin quickly wipes away the tears but
"Mrs. Gisella. The police are in front of the house," said the waiter approaching the woman who was wearing a face mask and also sitting on a massage chair. "What? The police." Gisella took off her face mask and looked at the waitress in confusion. "What are the police looking for?" Gisella thought to herself, she stood up from the massage chair. She walked towards the main room to meet the police who came looking for her."Good morning Miss Gisella Gabriella." Gisella saw two police cars in her yard. Gisella found it even more strange why the police had come to see her."Good morning..." Gisella answered the greeting with some hesitation."We are here to ask you to come with us to the police station for a report that you have committed attempted murder against the victim Mrs. Tessa Azela." The police showed a letter on the report that had Gisella's name attached to it. Gisella was silent, she knew who the police had named. However, Gisella did not expect this to happen when every
Tessa opened a can of beer and gave it to Axel. By now, the two of them were on the hood of a car that had stopped in a park. Supposedly, they were both continuing home after hours at the police station.Axel accepted the welcome can of beer that was presented to him. he smiled slightly, many things had happened in his life from the beginning until this moment. Axel felt tired of dealing with it, he wanted to stop and just be happy it was hard to happen."Are you happy?" Axel turned his head and looked at Tessa's face which was only focused forward."Of course not! The retribution that happened for those two people who ruined my life. Not enough! They should feel even more pain." Tessa took a sip of the beer in her hand, she looked into Axel's eyes with a piercing gaze."Hmm...""That's your only answer? I'm sure you didn't agree at first either, did you? I guessed it! The two people who did this are special to you, including Gisella! Who is the mother of your daughter Athena." Tessa
