The next day, Tessa walked into Raymond’s private jet as they prepared to depart for New York. She almost cried as he held her tightly and guided her up the stairs and into the jet. This would be the first time she had traveled with him to a public event. She had had the man of every woman’s dreams all those years, but never had a chance to publicly claim him as hers.

As though he noticed the sudden sadness that enveloped her, he pulled her into a warm hug that melted it all away.

    The event went off pretty well, with Raymond and Tessa being the highlight of the evening. Tessa noticed Raymond’s presence around her throughout. He never left her side for a second. Even when people tried to take him aside to discuss something, he would still hold her tight. It did make her feel a tad bit important, but something about her guards was still up.Her heart was clenched for a good part of the evening, as a part of her half expected the other woman to show up. She would occasionally make out figures that looked like her, only to realize it wasn’t when they came closer.It would not have been unusual for her to show up if she eventually did. She was already high-profile and always followed Raymond to events like this. Tessa was a bit relieved, embarrassingly so when she discovered at the end of the evening that Danielle didn’t show up. She tried to hide it to preserve her nonchalant aura around Raymond while beaming inside. But something told her that Raymond had already

    Shortly after, they arrived in New York, and after settling into their hotel, Tessa had to push away the distractions as she began her beauty preparations. This would be her first night out with him and for GTO!Man, she was nervous but tried not to show it as the designers, makeup artists, and stylists got to work. Raymond walked in occasionally to check on her and crack a few jokes. She had never seen that side of him before. It was strange to realize that you could be married to someone for years without knowing they even had a sense of humor.Tessa watched again as he strolled in, holding a saucer with some cake on it.“Do you want some? You haven’t eaten anything since we landed.”Tessa shook her head. Her stomach was clenched, and the nervousness that enveloped her wouldn’t let her take a bite of anything. She feared she might throw up.“If you say no, then I might have to feed you myself,” Raymond said, nudging the beauty team around her to leave, until it was just the two of t

    The next day, Tessa walked into Raymond’s private jet as they prepared to depart for New York. She almost cried as he held her tightly and guided her up the stairs and into the jet. This would be the first time she had traveled with him to a public event. She had had the man of every woman’s dreams all those years, but never had a chance to publicly claim him as hers.As though he noticed the sudden sadness that enveloped her, he pulled her into a warm hug that melted it all away.“I’m going to make it right, I promise,” he said cutely.Tessa almost laughed at the expression on his face. Did he actually think she was sad about the exposure?He noticed the new expression on her face and made to ask, but Tessa shook her head and said, “You know, I was just thinking about how this would be my first time flying with you on a trip this big. It’s just a bit weird,” she finished with a chuckle, noticing the shift in his expression almost immediately—like a child who suddenly regrets their ac

  • When Obsession Wears a Ring   Chapter 47 - Trust Me

    Tessa awoke to the soft, gentle brush of fingers through her hair. For a moment, she thought she was still dreaming. Then, the warmth behind her eyelids anchored her: she could feel hot breaths blowing on her face. She opened her eyes slowly, and the world came into focus in fragments: the soft morning light spilling across the room, the faint scent of coffee lingering in the air, and most arresting of all, the steady, warm gaze of Raymond, bent slightly over her.His eyes held something she hadn’t seen before: a mix of concern, desire, and something protective, almost desperate. Memories of the night before flashed unbidden… his hands on her, the sharp, thrilling intensity of his kiss. He had carried her all the way to the bedroom, his hands were roaming around her body and just as he was about to lift the hem of her night dress, she whispered “no,” and he stopped… but the fire behind his restraint had scorched itself into her mind.Raymond’s lips moved now, brushing gently against

  • When Obsession Wears a Ring   Chapter 46 - Mine

    Tessa could see Derek’s frame as she moved closer, wide-eyed, disbelief etched into every line of his face. “What the… what the fuck are you doing here?” he demanded, staring directly at Raymond as if he had just walked into some twisted fever dream.Raymond didn’t budge. Not an inch. Not even a flicker of hesitation. “I should be asking that. You’re not coming in by the way. Go back to wherever you are coming from,” he said flatly, his frame solid, immovable. His hands were tense at his sides, but his eyes were locked on Derek like he could melt him with a look alone.“I… I can’t believe this man,” Derek stammered, disbelief mingled with a trace of anger. “After all this… after everything… you’re just back? In her apartment?”Raymond’s jaw tightened. “Even worse, I live here now. And I’m staying.” He leaned slightly forward, the kind of lean that didn’t threaten Derek physically but suggested that crossing him would be catastrophic.Tessa’s mind raced. She tried to step forward, hand

  • When Obsession Wears a Ring   Chapter 45 - Caught in the Middle

    Tessa had convinced herself that once she was back home, Raymond would simply settle her in and leave. But Raymond did not retreat. At least, this version of him didn’t.He had quickly stepped down and crossed to the other side of the car to get the door for her and as soon as the car door clicked behind her, Raymond’s hands were on her shoulders, steadying her as she swayed slightly from the lingering dizziness. “You okay?” he asked, voice calm, but his eyes sharp, scanning her like she was a delicate artifact that might break if he blinked the wrong way.“I… I’m fine,” Tessa muttered, brushing off the concern as if she could wipe it clean with the back of her hand. But Raymond wasn’t buying it.“Do you need me to carry you up?” He probed further. Tessa laughed when she saw the small crease on his face.“Hell no, Ray. I can absolutely walk by myself.” He nodded and put his hand across her waist, guiding her slowly to the entrance, and stairs.He helped her up the stairs, slowly, car

  • When Obsession Wears a Ring   Chapter 40 - Reunion

    Tessa sat on the cold metal bench outside the café, fingers pressed to her temples, trying to breathe normally. But her heart was still punching against her ribs from what she’d seen on Derek’s phone… from what he’d admitted.The tracker. The photo from weeks ago. Him being… there. It was all a lot

  • When Obsession Wears a Ring   Chapter 39 - Derek

    Tessa froze.For a second, just one suspended breathless second, she forgot how to breathe. The noise of the small venue behind her voices, laughter, music, the shuffle of feet all started to dim. All she could see… were his eyes.Warm and familiar. She once thought that she had been able to bury t

    Tessa barely slept.She closed her eyes, but sleep refused to come. She tossed once, then again, inhaling shallow breaths as the roses sat on the kitchen counter like a quiet curse. Who brought them? Who was close enough to leave something right at her doorstep without being caught on sight?And t

  • When Obsession Wears a Ring   Chapter 37 - Found

    Tessa woke up before her alarm againsomething that had become a pattern lately. She rolled onto her back and stared at the faint early-morning light spilling through the curtains. It was quiet. Too quiet.She reached for her phone automatically, thumb hovering over the notifications as the memories
