Tessa's POV

I could see the disappointment on Mamang Olga's face. She didn't say anything, nor did she scold or advise me on what I should do. She remained silent as she took care of my clothes.

"I'll bring these clothes to your room upstairs. Don Enrico doesn't want you sleeping in the maid's quarter anymore."

"Mamang... "

I stood up to approach her but she avoided me and left the room without a word. I sadly went back to my bed and sat on the edge.

I can't say that I'm truly sad about what's happening because this is what I've dreamed of since then. But maybe I'm feeling guilty. After Mamang Olga trusted me, this is how I repay her.

I heard the door open and close again. I thought it was Mamang Olga so I quickly stood up and faced it, but I froze when I saw who came in.

"Miss Martha, what are you doing here?"

  • Stealing My Husband From His Mistress    Chapter 28

    Tessa's POVIt was late, but I was still awake, sitting pretty in the middle of the bed. I wasn't sleeping because I knew Darius was going to come into my room.That salon where my friend works is something else. They really made me look good, even I can't believe it. My eyebrows, eyelashes, hair, my whole face. It was worth every penny I spent."If it's just about beauty, Martha has nothing to brag about anymore. We're even! Maybe I'm even a little prettier than her after a good shower."I gasped when I heard the doorknob turn. I quickly fixed my hair and sat up straight."Tessa." Darius stopped in his tracks when his eyes landed on me.I had planned for this night. I bought some alluring sleepwear. I just forgot what it's called. My friend told me. Was it lingerie?"I've been waiting for you," I said, my voice soft and sweet.He swallowed hard, standing in front of the closed door. He was staring at me like I was a delicious meal."Are you just going to stand there?" I batted my eye

    Tessa's POVI heard several knocks on the door, but I didn't answer. I rolled my eyes as I stared out the window. A moment later, the door opened and Darius walked in."You didn't come down for breakfast. Are you not feeling well?"I still didn't answer, so he came over and sat beside me.He touched my forehead, checking for a fever."Are you mad?""You slept in her room," I said, pouting.He leaned closer and ruffled my hair like I was a child. "This little one is mad again. I didn't mean to. I just dozed off waiting for her to fall asleep. Don't be upset."I didn't answer and just turned away. He was making excuses again. How could he call that a nap? He woke up in the morning!"Alright, I have to go to work. Don't be mad, okay?"I bit my lip, trying to hold back my annoyance. Why couldn't that Martha just have a nightmare or something? It's so frustrating."What do you want me to bring you?"I glared at him. "Anything?""Yeah, anything, I'll buy it. Just tell me."I took a deep bre

    Tessa's POVThe excitement I felt when I told Darius about my pregnancy quickly vanished when I noticed he was silent.Instead of being happy and focusing on me, he turned to Martha, whose face suddenly lost all color."It's always Martha, Martha."I wiped away a tear that rolled down my cheek. I was trying hard not to cry because I didn't want to stress. It's bad for the baby in my tummy. But I couldn't help it, I was feeling hurt."Will even our child have to adjust? Shouldn't he be happy? That's what you're supposed to feel when you find out your wife is pregnant."I was still upset, so I didn't leave the room even when the maid called me for dinner. That maid, too. Now that Martha is here, she's hired a maid. Whereas before, I did all the chores.I grabbed my pillow and hugged it, leaning back against the headboard.

  • Stealing My Husband From His Mistress    Chapter 24

    Darius' POVAfter working for hours, I decided to call it quits and went home at noon. I couldn't focus anyway, with everything Severino told me swirling in my head. Plus, Tessa was adding to the chaos in my mind."Darius? Darling, you're home!"Martha's bright face greeted me as I entered the house. I smiled as she hugged me.I looked around. Usually, Tessa would be waiting for me when I got home. The moment she heard my car, she'd be running to greet me. But why wasn't she here?"Why are you home so early? Are you having lunch here?"I looked at Martha's smiling face. "I told my secretary I'm taking half a day off.""Really? Because of me? I told you, I'm fine. But it's good that you're here. Lunch is almost ready. We'll eat together, okay?"I wasn't really paying attention to what she was saying, my mind was preoccupied with whether Tessa was home or not. Damn it, did she run away?"Martha, is Tessa back yet?"The bright smile on Martha's face slowly faded, replaced by sadness. "I

I quickly showered and got dressed before running down the stairs.When I got to the kitchen, I found Darius and Martha happily having breakfast. They were laughing as they shared a meal."Oh, you're awake," Martha said with a smile, making Darius look at me. "Come, join us.""Tessa." Darius stood up and pulled out a chair for me. He stared at my face, as if reading my mind. "Let's eat."I almost saw red, especially because of Martha's behavior. The nerve of this woman, offering me a seat like I'm the mistress and she's the wife. She seems to have forgotten who she's talking to.When Darius sat back down and continued talking to Martha, I cleared my throat to get their attention again."No, you two go ahead," I said coldly, making Darius stop. "Looks like I'm interrupting.""Tessa."I was about to leave when Darius called my name. I heard his footsteps approachin
