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 63 - Home II
Tessa had barely stepped through the door when she froze.The apartment looked… alive. Too alive. Everywhere was bustling in colours and sweet smells of fresh roses. The faint smell of dinner drifted through the air, warm and intentional, like someone had been cooking for hours. The dining table was perfectly set. Plates arranged neatly. Cutlery aligned like it had been thought through, not rushed.And then there was Raymond.He was standing there like he had been waiting for her arrival his whole life and staring at her as though she was another dessert that he badly wanted to consume.Tessa blinked slowly.“What is going on?” she asked, taking a step further inside. “Why does it feel like I just walked into a surprise party I wasn’t told about?”Raymond smiled.That slow, easy smile that always did something inconvenient to her chest.“Well…” he said simply.Tessa narrowed her eyes.“That is not an answer.”He shrugged slightly, walking toward her.“What other answer do you need?
When Obsession Wears a Ring Chapter 31 - I Will Find You
The first page was dated roughly two years ago. Her handwriting, small, elegant, and impossibly flawless, filled the lines.“He brought me flowers today. Yellow lilies. Said he saw them and thought of me. Maybe things are changing. Maybe this time, I won’t have to keep waiting for him to look at me
When Obsession Wears a Ring Chapter 30 - The Journal
Raymond hadn’t slept well in a week. Anytime he closed his eyes, he was faced with scary pictures. The first was a recurring dream of Tessa alone and trapped in a muddled space, crying bitterly. He could see her through what appeared like a maze, but he couldn’t reach her.Morning bled into afterno
When Obsession Wears a Ring Chapter 28 - The Weight of Her Absence
Raymond looked around the boardroom with disinterest. He would be staying a few more days to seal the deal. It was a huge one that could avert the looming fold of one of his franchises. Danielle had called the shots, she knew a good number of higher ups who were willing to invest heavily in it and
When Obsession Wears a Ring Chapter 27 - The Flight
Tessa settled into the window seat and pressed her palm against the cold glass. The deep hum of the plane was comforting, a constant vibration that seemed to whisper that everything would be fine, that everything was finally hers to control. For the first time in a long while, she breathed. Deep, s
