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 like I matter.”He swallowed hard and turned the page.“He’s been distant again. I don’t know what I did. Sometimes he comes home and doesn’t speak to me for hours. I sit on the balcony and pretend not to care, but every time I hear footsteps, I hope it’s him coming to find me.”Another page. Another truth.“Danielle called again. He didn’t tell me, but I saw her name flash on his phone. I keep pretending I don’t notice. I keep pretending it doesn’t hurt.”He read until the words blurred. Each page felt like a wound reopening, one he didn’t even know existed. She had written about their mornings, their dinners, the quiet spaces between them and how those spaces grew into walls.And then, ne
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 afternoon and still, there was no word from the man he’d hired. It’s been a week now. He sat in his study, surrounded by scattered papers and a cup of coffee that had gone cold.He had always prided himself on control, control of emotions, control of business, control of outcomes, which was one thing he had picked from his father… But control meant nothing when it came to Tessa.He picked up his phone and dialed her number again. He knew what to expect. His previous attempts had led him straight to voicemail and he had left countless notes. First urgent and demanding, then soft and pleading, then coaxing, then emotional and humbled. He had tried everything just in case she finally got to listen to
When Obsession Wears a Ring Chapter 29 - The Ring on the Dresser
When he entered his own home, the silence met him like an old ghost.Jim, the housekeeper, stood near the hallway, hands folded, face uneasy. “Welcome home, sir,” he said quickly. “You’re back earlier than we expected.”Raymond’s eyes scanned the foyer. Everything looked immaculate, too immaculate. Not a shoe out of place, not a trace of life. The air smelled faintly of lemon polish and her perfume. He could feel it, that lingering presence of her, as if the house still breathed her name.“Jim,” he said, voice low.“Yes, sir?”“When was the last time Mrs. Anderson was here?”Jim’s eyes flickered. “She came two days ago, sir.”Raymond turned slowly. “Two days ago?”“Yes, sir. She packed a few things.”Raymond’s stare sharpened. “And you didn’t think to call me?”Jim swallowed. “Sir, you said not to disturb you during your trip. Your assistant said you had… several ongoing meetings and…”“That doesn’t apply to her.” Raymond’s voice cracked through the air. “It never applies to her.”Jim
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 even though he was sick of depending on her prowess, he knew he had to do what he had to do.Three more days to go, and he could not hold it in anymore. He had met Derek earlier, and he had told him how much Tessa was hurting, and how broken she was, and it hurt him too.He had thought Derek was trying to steal his wife from him – or maybe he still was plotting something. Heck, he couldn’t trust that boy fully anymore. But there was something in his voice, the way he narrated her hurt and the way he begged him to let Tessa go if he wasn’t going to care for her.It tugged at his chest. Letting her go wasn’t and shouldn’t be an option on his table. Not because his grandmother, the only family
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, slow, unthinking breaths that filled her chest and made her feel like she might just live again.As the plane glided along the runway and lifted slowly into the air, she felt peace, so much peace.Her fingers brushed over the old leather-bound notebook in her lap, a new companion for a new life. She remembered the ease she felt when she threw her phone away that morning. Now, there will be no notifications, no messages, no accidental glimpses of him or Derek reaching for her. Nothing. She didn’t have any plans of reaching out either.All through the long flight, she pressed her forehead into the glass and let herself stare at the horizon, her thoughts scattering with the clouds.She tried to
When Obsession Wears a Ring Chapter 26 - Freedom
The first thing Tessa did that morning was to discard her phone. She first broke it before throwing it far away early while on her way out of the house.The city outside was still gray with dawn when she slipped into the waiting cab. She carried one suitcase, light enough to look casual, heavy enough to contain the few belongings she took to Derek’s house. She called a cab instead of using the driver and when Nola, the housekeeper asked where she was headed and what note they would drop for Derek, she simply responded with: “I will drop him a note.” She knew she wasn’t going to but needed to leave without drama.It was a quiet forty-minute drive through the sleeping streets. The city had not yet begun its morning arguments, only the occasional horn, the faint smell of diesel, and calm city lights. The cab’s windows were tinted; her reflection looked pale, almost transparent. She hadn’t slept for two days.When the gates of Raymond’s house came into view, she asked the driver to stop j
