Raymond paused for a moment, looked at her, smiled, and then leaned in to whisper—

“Then you’ve got to tell me who the father of your child is.”

Tessa stared back, her mouth agape. There was no way he had just said that to her.

“Can we leave now, Ray? It’s almost time,” Danielle chipped in, her birdlike voice pricking Tessa’s nerves as it always did.

Ray paused again. Tessa closed her eyes, dreading what would come next, until he finally said,

“Yes, let’s go, Dani. I’m sure Mrs. Anderson can find her own way down to the event.”

Tessa’s heart shattered into a million pieces. She cursed herself for always bending to him, for never learning. But she wasn’t going to let herself be ridiculed like this—not in front of these rumor mongers.

“Not sure I’ll be showing up though. I have other plans. Have fun, and oh—don’t forget to sort the bills.” She winked, grabbed the dresses she had picked, and walked out first, leaving behind the bewildered duo.

Outside, a fresh wave of wind hit her. She d

  • When Obsession Wears a Ring   Lies in Silk

    Danielle strutted forward in a sea-green dress that clung to her curves and stopped just shy of indecency. With her painted lips and flawless makeup, it was easy to see why men’s eyes lingered. Easy, too, to understand why Raymond had kept her in his orbit for years.The salesgirl smiled smugly. “Miss Greene, your dress arrived this morning. That lady tried to take it, but I stopped her just in time.Danielle’s eyes followed the girl’s pointing hand. Recognition flared. Her lips curved into a mischievous smile as she sauntered toward Tessa.“Well, well. If it isn’t Tessa. Were you reaching for my dress?”Tessa didn’t respond. She had no interest in Danielle’s games. She turned to leave, but Danielle slid in front of her, blocking the way, a mockery smile twisting her face.“Why so cold? It’s funny, isn’t it? We always seem to want the same things. And somehow…” She tapped her chest with feigned innocence. “They end up with me.”Tessa’s lips twitched in a bitter smile. “By ‘all,’ I su

    Across town, Danielle hurled her phone against the sofa with such force it nearly split.“He’s bringing her?” she hissed, pacing in rage. “He’s actually bringing that woman to my event?”Her breathing came hard and fast, fury vibrating through her slender frame.Her assistant, Mark, approached carefully, his expression calm but calculating. He laid a hand on her shoulder.“Miss Greene,” he said softly, “you know Mr. Anderson. He may say one thing, but in the end, he has never failed to stand by you. That hasn’t changed. That won’t change no matter who he brings with him.” He paused, letting his words sink in before adding with a sly smile.“Have you already forgotten what he did for you two years ago? The way he chose you then. He hasn’t changed.”Danielle’s lips twitched, almost forming a smile of triumph.But then, unbidden, the image of Tessa’s cold blue eyes surfaced in her mind, and the smile faded.Danielle had known Raymond for more than fifteen years. He wasn’t just a friend,

  • When Obsession Wears a Ring   The Performance

    Tessa’s pulse quickened as the silence stretched between them.His touch was gentler now, but the weight of his actions still pressed down on her chest.She should have pulled away. She should have stood her ground.But the contradiction in his eyes, rage warring with something that looked dangerously like longing, kept her in place.Raymond leaned closer, his breath brushing her lips. This time, Tessa turned her face just slightly, his mouth grazed the corner of her cheek instead of claiming her.This time, his kiss wasn’t harsh or domineering. It was soft. Needy. For the first time, Tessa felt a flicker of vulnerability in him, something raw that unsettled her.She froze beneath him, unresponsive, unwilling to give in. But then he pulled back just enough to look into her eyes. His voice was barely a whisper.“Please, Tessa… kiss me.”The words startled her. Raymond Anderson, who had never begged for anything, was asking. Almost pleading.Before she could find her resolve, his lips b

  • When Obsession Wears a Ring   The Night She Stopped Begging

    Tessa lifted her gaze to the man standing before her, and her chest tightened until it felt like her ribs might shatter.Just the sight of him was enough to break her all over again.Her vision blurred as tears welled, heavy with the memories of everything she had sacrificed for this man who never once chose her.Her throat tightened, but she forced the tears back, blinking them away before they could fall. Enough.She had cried enough for him. Now, her face hardened, settling into the mask she had learned to wear, one that gave nothing away.Inside, she broke. But he would never see her beg again.Tessa scoffed and turned, her hand already on the door.“Thank you for everything, Raymond. It was nice while it lasted.”He was visibly taken aback for a while seeing that she had coldly called him Raymond for the first time.As she made to step out, his hand clamped around her arm and pulled her back so suddenly she stumbled into his chest.In one swift motion, he hoisted her over his sho

  • When Obsession Wears a Ring   Where Do You Think You’re Going?

    Tessa Anderson sat slowly on the sofa, her phone clutched so tightly in her trembling hands that her knuckles started to turn pale. The screen cast cold light all over her face as words scrolled past, each comment sharper than the last.“Danielle is back. Finally, Mr. Anderson can be free of that woman. She never deserved him.”“Deserve? Please. Everyone knows Tessa forced her way into his life. She’s nothing but a homewrecker.”“She’s insane and evil. She trapped him in a marriage and kept him from the woman he truly loves. I can’t stand her. She’s the villain. A real one.”Tessa’s stomach twisted, but she forced her eyes down anyway, as if punishing herself with their cruelty was not enough, she saw another photograph, a candid shot of her husband in a parking lot, his arms wrapped around Danielle Greene, the world-famous model and his very first love.Raymond looked… unguarded. His eyes, those piercing storm-grey eyes, softened as they stared at Danielle.His hand, strong and stea
