The silence was the first thing that settled in after the car disappeared down the street.

It was not the soft kind, the kind that wrapped you in stillness and calm. No. This was a silence that pressed against the walls, that hung heavy in the corners of the room, that seemed to expand with every breath Tessa took. She lingered by the window even after the taillights vanished, her hand still pressed to her face, her chest heaving with shallow breaths.

The house felt emptier now. Colder.

  • When Obsession Wears a Ring   Chapter 71 - Is this the END?

    tThe beep beep and whirling sounds of machines met Tessa as she opened her eyes to a brightly lit room. A sharp jarring on one side of her head from the brightness in the room caused her to wince and shut her eyes back immediately.“Oh Tessa, you are awake. Thank God.” She heard a voice exclaim and ran hurriedly to her side. She winced again as the pain in her head throbbed gently and opened her eyes to meet a very worried Derek.What had happened? Where was she and why was Derek here? She wasn’t thinking out loud but Derek’s voice floated in almost immediately, as though he was reading her thoughts.“You were in an accident. You got hit and have been in a coma. How are you feeling now?” He said in between rushed breathing.“How long have I been here?” Tessa asked weakly.“About a month.” Derek responded with a small frown and reached out to feel her temperature.“What do you mean a month?” She asked, wide eyed in disbelief. “How? Last thing I remember was some people dragging me into

  • When Obsession Wears a Ring   Chapter 70 - Abducted

    Tessa woke before sunrise.For a few seconds she simply lay there, staring at the ceiling.Everything felt... quiet. Not awkward or heavy anymore. Just peaceful.She turned her head and her eyes caught Raymond snoring softly beside her, one arm thrown over her waist, his face buried halfway into the pillow.A smile tugged at her lips.She had never understood how someone who looked so intimidating awake could somehow look so harmless when he slept.Carefully, she lifted his arm.The moment she moved, his grip tightened instinctively.She laughed under her breath."Seriously?"He didn't answer.His brows only twitched before he pulled her even closer without opening his eyes.She shook her head."You are impossible."After another gentle attempt, she finally slipped free.Raymond let out a sleepy sigh but didn't wake.Tessa stood there for a second, simply watching him.Who would have thought?The same man who once drove her crazy was now the person she couldn't imagine waking up withou

  • When Obsession Wears a Ring   Chapter 69 - Black Cat

    Danielle had always believed that bad news was something that happened to other people. Not her.She had spent a good part of her life, surviving hurt and protecting herself from being hurt by other people. She could care less about them being hurt in the process.Again, she was Danielle Hart.The woman brands fought over.The woman magazines wanted on their covers.The woman whose face could sell almost anything.Or at least that was what she believed.Until that morning, when her phone started ringing continuously and didn't stop.At first, she ignored it. She was getting ready for a shoot when the first call came in.Then another, and another.At first, it was her manager, then her assistant and publicist amongst others.She could remember frowning as she admired her reflection in the mirror."What now?"She picked up the call from her manager first and the moment she answered, she knew something was wrong.He didn’t even say hello."Danielle."Her manager sounded tense.Very tense

    As soon as the call ended, silence settled over the room.Tessa slowly lowered her phone and stared at nothing for a few seconds.Raymond rolled over and put his arm around her, circling her waist, then pressed his lips down her stomach.Without saying a word, Tessa leaned in so she was resting her back comfortably on the bed and cradling his head softly.“Don’t worry about Danielle.” He muttered softly. “She won’t hurt you… or us. I won’t let her.”Then Tessa sighed. “I trust you.” Earning her a grunt and another deep kiss, this time longer."So you're really okay with him coming over?" Tessa asked after a brief pause.Raymond glanced down at her."I mean..."He scratched the back of his neck."It's going to be a little awkward."Tessa laughed softly."A little?""A lot," he admitted.That earned him another laugh."Now don’t judge me, but watching someone who used to be my rival step up to demystify a case I’ve been trying to solve for years.""He was never your rival Ray and you k

    The shrill ringtone cut through the quiet room, making both Tessa and Raymond stirr at the same time.Tessa groaned softly and reached for the bedside lamp, blinking against the sudden light. The clock beside her bed read 5:02 a.m.Raymond pushed himself up on one elbow and frowned."Babe, who's calling by this time?"Tessa shrugged."I wish I knew."She grabbed her phone from the nightstand and glanced at the screen.The moment she saw the name, she paused."Derek."Raymond saw it too.His expression changed instantly.Tessa was surprised about the call coming in that early and almost laughed at Raymond’s expression alongside.The jealousy was becoming easier and easier to spot.She answered the call and immediately placed it on speaker."Hello?""Hi, friend."Derek's cheerful voice filled the room. He was too active for that time."Been a while."Tessa smiled."Thank you. Is everything okay? Did you sleep at all? Why are you calling so early?""Haha… So many questions. Yeah, everyth

    Raymond tried to chase after Tessa as she stormed into the bedroom.But she didn't look back, neither did she slow down nor acknowledge him.Instead, she walked straight into the closet and shut the door behind her.The loud bang echoed through the room stopping Raymond in his tracks.For a moment, he simply stood there, staring at the closed door.Then he cursed under his breath.He hated this.More than anything, he hated knowing that he was the reason she was upset.The first time Danielle reached out, he had wanted to tell Tessa.He really had.But then he had looked over at her sleeping peacefully beside him and changed his mind.She looked so calm, safe and happy.And the last thing he wanted was to drag Danielle's chaos back into her life.So he had convinced himself he would handle it.He planned to keep Danielle away, deal with the threats and protect Tessa from the stress of it all.At the time, it had felt like the right decision.Looking back now, it felt like the stupides

Who’s the damned man sending you flowers?”Tessa was furious and she was unable to hide it much longer. “H
