“You’re just unbelievable!” Curtis muttered through gritted teeth as he leaned closer to Tessa.

His voice was low but burning with irritation that he could no longer hide.

The muscles along his jaw tightened visibly, and the faint vein at his temple throbbed. “You still want to frame Lauren?”

“She deserves it!” Tessa snapped back instantly, her tone sharp and unwavering.

Her fists clenched tightly on the table, the knuckles turning pale as the storm of emotions within her threatened to spill

  • The True Heiress, His Worst Nightmare   Chapter 105: Rage And Survival

    Fear gripped Tessa as she could hear her weakened heart pounding violently in her chest, each beat feeling like a drum against her ribs.The sharp edge of the knife brushing lightly against her face sent cold tension crawling through her entire body like ice water spreading through her veins. Her wrists already hurt badly from struggling against the ropes for so long, the rough fibers cutting into her skin and leaving raw marks, yet she forced herself to remain calm outwardly, to keep her expression neutral.That was the only way to survive this moment.Lauren stood before her breathing heavily, her chest heaving with exertion, her eyes unstable and burning with anger that had clearly piled up for too long. The hatred in her expression no longer looked ordinary or controlled. It looked dangerous. Unhinged. Completely beyond reason.Tessa slowly lifted her face toward Lauren despite the fear clawing at her chest, despite every instinct screaming at her to look away."You can't change

  • The True Heiress, His Worst Nightmare   Chapter 104: Wrath In The Dark

    Tessa was tied to a chair, still unconscious, in an abandoned building in the middle of nowhere.The entire place smelled of dust, old wood, rusted metal, and damp walls that looked like they had not seen life for years. The building itself looked forgotten by the world. Broken windows lined parts of the upper walls while cold evening wind slipped through the cracks, creating eerie whistling sounds across the empty structure.The ceiling above looked weak and stained from years of rainwater leakage. Some parts of the floor were wet while others were littered with broken planks, empty cans, and scattered debris.Tessa’s hands had been tied tightly behind the wooden chair with rough ropes that pressed painfully against her skin. Her ankles were tied too, leaving her unable to move properly even in her unconscious state.Her hair looked slightly messy from the rain earlier while drops of water still clung faintly to parts of her coat.Her breathing remained slow.Weak.Unaware of the

    Tessa sat quietly unlike her, at the head seat of conference room.The large conference table stretched across the room, polished so clean that the reflection of the overhead lights bounced faintly across its surface. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows stood behind Tessa, revealing the cloudy afternoon outside. The weather looked dull and heavy, as though rain had been threatening to fall since morning.Yet inside the conference room, the atmosphere remained tense and focused.Tessa sat upright in the leather chair at the head of the table, her fingers resting lightly against the armrest while several files lay neatly before her. Ever since taking over Ecofel officially, the air around her had changed completely.Nobody dared to take her lightly anymore.Not after what happened to Lauren.Not after Flower Gods became the biggest jewelry sensation in the city.Standing by her both sides, stood her assistant - Kira and on the left was Melina holding up a file to her chest.Kira stood pro

    She snap her hand fiercely away from his grip despite her weakness.The sudden movement caused the drip attached to her hand to shake slightly, but Tessa didn’t care. Her entire face had tightened with pain and anger the moment Curtis held her hand again. Even in her weak condition, the irritation in her eyes remained obvious.“What’s the point of saying this now?” She muttered, her voice weak, looking blankly away.Her gaze slowly drifted toward the wall opposite the bed. She refused to look directly at him anymore because every single time she did, painful memories returned immediately.“Get out. I don’t want to see your face again. Every time I see you, it reminds me of my son.”The words came out slowly, but they hit Curtis harder than shouting would have.Tears began creeping into her eyes as her heart was heavy.Her lashes trembled slightly while she struggled to control her emotions. The pain sitting inside her chest had not reduced despite everything Lauren suffered already.

  • The True Heiress, His Worst Nightmare   Chapter 101: Irreparable Loss

    Lauren had stood beside him smirking, so excited that her plans had worked after all.The satisfaction on her face that day had been impossible to miss. She had folded her arms calmly across her chest, watching the entire scene unfold like it was some kind of victory worth celebrating. Not once had pity crossed her face while Tessa knelt helplessly before them.“Please, don’t do it.” Tessa cried, her hands lifted towards him. “Please.”Her voice had sounded shattered already, but Curtis had refused to listen. The more she begged, the colder his face became. Anger and suspicion had blinded him so completely that he could no longer see the broken woman kneeling before him as his wife.He only saw betrayal.Or at least, what he thought was betrayal.But he ignored her and just like that, he turned the box upside down and emptied the ashes on her.The wind moved sharply across the graveyard the exact moment the ashes poured out from the box.For one horrible second, time itself seemed

    Curtis rushed into the hospital carrying Tessa in his arms.“Nurse. Doctor!” He shouted, his voice quivering.The loud panic in his voice instantly drew attention across the hospital lobby. Two nurses behind the reception desk sprang up immediately, startled by the sight of the unconscious woman in his arms. Curtis looked completely shaken. His breathing was uneven, sweat covering his forehead while his fingers held Tessa tightly as though he was terrified of losing her if he loosened his grip even slightly.Another lady who appeared to be the doctor was just coming out of a room and rushed forward the instant she saw the commotion.“This way! Come with me!” She said, rushing to a room nearby.Curtis followed with speed, carrying the unconscious Tessa in his arms.His footsteps echoed loudly through the hallway as he hurried after the doctor. Nurses moved aside quickly to clear the way for him while the wheels of a nearby trolley screeched faintly against the tiled floor. Curtis
