"You're back home already?" Tessa asked as soon as Aaron let go of his hands from her waist. Aaron gave her a quick glance and turned his gaze away, clearing his throat, Tessa could have sworn he saw him blush."Yeah, and you should be careful next time to avoid a fall, what if l wasn't here at the right time to save you?" Aaron asked sternly, a glint of concern that he was trying so hard to conceal was evident in his voice as he spoke.Tessa glared at him and was awed, she never thought Aaron would be concerned about her enough to not want her injured or hurt, she thought to herself and smiled much to Aaron's oblivion. "Don't get me wrong. I don't want you hurting yourself under my roof that's all" Aaron protested, trying to sound rather convincing.Tessa was taken aback by his words, and a glint of disappointment crept in, why does it hurt hearing that from him, was it a crime if he actually cared? She thought inwardly. "Fine, I would be sure not to hurt myself under your roof Mr

TessaI gazed at the stars from the balcony of my room, the peaceful ambiance gave me warmth. I was much more relieved after speaking with Mara, as crazy as she can be, she just knows the right things to say to me, to make me feel better.My mind slowly drifted off to Aaron, the tension in the room earlier when he came to check up on me and during dinner was crazy, I've tried to control my emotions but I can't just help but always stare at him.All I've ever wished for was to love and be loved in return but sadly I'm head over heels for a man who only sees me as his substitute wife.I never thought I would be caught up in a one-sided love but here I am, drooling over a man that doesn't give a flying fuck about me. It's funny how men drool over my beauty and my body whenever I step out and then there's Aaron who doesn't.Though I noticed that Aaron has been unusually calm and gentle with me for some time now, he no longer gives me those death stares and he talks to me these days unlike

Alexander I was surprised when Aaron agreed that I handled his construction project, I had doubts that he would accept initially but he freaking accepted.I never thought that my plans of getting close to Tessa through Aaron would be this easy, I smirked and gulped down the content in the glass of wine that I was holding.Aaron had just paved the way for me to go after his wife without even knowing, I can't wait to see the look on his face when I finally make Tessa mine, he claims to be powerful and ruthless but yet he's easily blinded by love, he made a great mistake when he accused me of trying to rape that silly girlfriend of his, he made me go into hiding because he made everyone believe that I was a rapist, he even went as far as accusing me of her disappearance.He choose to believe that lying, and a cheat of a woman, who doesn't care about anyone else but herself, I easily lured her to my bed all because of money, greedy bitch, Aaron was the richest man in the city, who is env

TessaI hurriedly left Aaron's room and entered my room, he didn't say anything, he just stared at me till l left.A smile crossed my lips as I lay down on my bed, I didn't know why I ran off like that, it just felt so surreal that Aaron would kiss me and honestly I wanted it too, I enjoyed every bit of it."Gosh! What was I thinking, I shouldn't have run off like that" I screamed inwardly. I wanted this as much as he does but I didn't want to be just a rebound girl to him, I wanted more and Aaron obviously sees me as his substitute wife that he will definitely toss away when he finds the woman he loves. But then again, he had a sincere look on his face when he kissed me, he looked like he had waited all his life for that moment but he doesn't even like me, gosh! I don't even know what to think anymore. I shrugged back to my bed and my mind went back to the kiss, it was magical and it felt so good, I knew Aaron was not as mean as he acted, the way he laughed with me back there in hi

DylanI watched the look on Aaron's face as he talked about Tessa, the spark in his eyes was undeniably visible, this was the same person who couldn't stand Tessa and her guts, I just knew he liked her, just took him long enough to realize it."You both are friends now huh?" I asked with a smirk plastered on my face.Aaron glared at me and gulped down the contents in his glass, he was struggling to bottle up his feelings, his eyes gleaming so hard."You don't really need to answer that, your eyes and expression already gave you away, but what happens to "I don't want her around" I teased, using my fingers to emphasize more on what I was saying.He looked at me and smirked, he poured himself another drink and furrowed his eyebrows at me."She's my wife, Dylan, aren't we supposed to be friends?" he questioned with a smirk on his face."Well, the last time I checked, you couldn't stand her guts and boldness, what changed?" I asked, glaring at him.He gazed at me and smirked without sayin
