The knock was soft at first, almost polite. Then came a pause, Tessa was wondering which housekeeper it was at that time until a voice that carried too much cheer for the hour came up.

“Hi, Tessa,” Danielle’s words slid into the room before her full form did. Like silk, deliberately warm. “I made you a cup of tea. Something light, to help warm you up.”

She stood in the doorway with a tray balanced in her hands, the porcelain gleaming faintly under the overhead light. Her hair was perfect again,

  • 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

  • When Obsession Wears a Ring   Chapter 68 - Brotherhood at Last

    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

  • When Obsession Wears a Ring   Chapter 67 - Dangerous Woman

    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

  • When Obsession Wears a Ring   Chapter 66 - Secrets

    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

  • When Obsession Wears a Ring   Chapter 65 - Danielle Again

    Tessa was sitting on a hammock in the background that cool evening, a book was open in her hands, but she wasn’t reading it. Her eyes kept drifting to nothing in particular, her mind racing somewhere between calm and uneasy.Raymond had been with her earlier, talking lightly, kissing her forehead before stepping out for a work call.“Don’t move,” he had said with a smile. “I’ll be back soon.”She had laughed and then protested weakly“I’m not your hostage.”He grinned and kissed her softly.“You kind of are.”And then he was gone.His second phone had been left on the table beside her and she hadn’t paid attention to it at first, until it beeped.She ignored it at first.Then it beeped again.Something in her paused and urged her to check it out.Slowly, she reached for it, she hesitated for a second and then picked it up.The screen lit up that instant and another message came in from an unknown number.And another.Her brows slowly tightened as she started reading.Tessa’s breath sl

  • When Obsession Wears a Ring   Chapter 64 - The Threat

    "OMG! Raymond, you have to see this!"Tessa's voice echoed from the bathroom.Raymond practically ran in, nearly stumbling over his own feet."Jesus, woman. Don't give me a heart attack. What's wrong?" He exclaimed, his eyebrows raised in concern as he took in Tessa’s position… Hair dryer in one hand, phone in another, and an astonished look plastered on her face.Tessa grinned."Guess.""Girl, I’m literally clueless.""Come on, at least try.."Raymond folded his arms."Fine. Your blog got a new subscription?"Tessa burst out laughing."Wow. That’s actually a very horrible guess… Of all things."Raymond smirked and raised a shoulder in defiance “I mean, I told you na”She handed him her phone.The moment he read the headline, his eyes widened."Wow."Tessa nodded.The headline was bold and impossible to miss.Danielle had reportedly lost one of her biggest sponsorship deals with a leading global fashion brand. The article cited the controversy surrounding the allegations against her,

  • When Obsession Wears a Ring   Chapter 42 - I Will Wait for You

    Tessa woke up the next day in the arms of an unclad Raymond. She wasn’t clear on how they landed there. The last thing she remembered was going to bed hungry and alone. She was fully dressed and didn’t remember any other thing happening. Of course Raymond still had some trace of decency left.She wa

  • 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 38 - He's Back

    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
