Chapter 51 - Griha Pravesh

Roman and Tessa walked toward the front door of his mansion. The eyes staring at them were filled with love and anticipation.Salima stood at the entrance, draped in crimson silk, bangles chiming as she smiled proudly.Beside her, a silver tray gleamed with lit diyas, rice, and a bowl of red dye.And next to her, Nandini stood—elegant, composed, her hair pinned back in a neat braid threaded with fresh flowers.Roman froze, his breath caught. “Aunt Nandini.” He smiled.Nandini’s sternness broke into something warm and achingly gentle.“Welcome home, Roman.” She smiled.“Welcome darling.” She said turning to Tessa.Tessa froze. “Thank you, but what—what’s going on?” she asked.“Griha Pravesh,” Nandini announced. “A new bride must enter her home properly… this time as a true wife.”Roman’s jaw tightened; he didn’t know whether to laugh or get upset.“Aunt, this isn’t necessary—”“Hush,” Salima said firmly, motioning for him to step aside. “You will not ruin this moment.”She placed the

Chapter 52 - Cracks At Breakfast

Klara stood frozen outside the master suite door, one palm pressed flat against the wall, as if it were the only thing keeping her upright.She hadn’t meant to watch or stay that long. She’s been listening for too long—long enough to hear Tessa come twice, long enough to know Roman wasn’t angry, wasn’t rough, wasn’t proving a point.He was making love to her. Nothing violent. Nothing angry. Just love.Raw, pure, sickening love.Inside, the sounds had finally quieted: soft murmurs, Tessa’s sleepy laugh, Roman’s low voice teasing for another round.Klara’s thighs were still trembling.She had come twice, silent and shameful, fingers shoved between her legs while she watched Roman worship Tessa like she was something holy.She hated herself more than she hated them.She fled downstairs, her slippers silent on the marble. She pushed the door to her room open and slammed it—the sound echoing over the quiet mansion.“NO!” She screamed, so loudly that anyone could have heard. She didn’t car

Chapter 53 - Not So Innocent

Roman’s eyes squinted at his mother’s question.“Klara? What kind of question is that Mom?”“Just answer it.” Salima insisted.“I can’t answer what I don’t know. Why are you bringing up Klara, what does she have to do with any of this?” Roman snapped.“I’m not saying she has anything to do with this, I just want to know where she stands with you. And in this home.” Salima breathed.Roman’s jaw flexed. Of all the things Salima could’ve asked, this—this was the one he wasn’t prepared for.“Klara and I?” he repeated, voice flat.Salima didn’t blink. “I’m not blind. Something is off. Every time Tessa walks into a room, Klara looks like she swallowed poison, and you… You avoid her. That wasn’t always the case.”He scrubbed a hand over his face. “Ma, I don’t have time for this.”“You’re going to make time.”Her tone wasn’t angry—just steady, too steady. “Tell me the truth.”Roman exhaled, long and slow. “Nothing is going on.”“Roman.”“Nothing is going on,” he repeated, firmer now. “But she

Chapter 54 - Hairpin

The door shut with a soft click that sounded louder than a gunshot.Klara stood in the centre of the rug, hands clasped, playing innocent.Roman stayed behind the desk, his fingers resting on the small gold hairpin Salima slipped him earlier.“Sit,” he said.Klara lowered herself into the chair.Roman didn’t. He paced back and forth before he finally spoke.“What were you doing in my office while we were at the villa?” he said, voice flat.“Excuse me?” Klara said shocked.“Don’t play dumb with me Klara, I’m not in the mood.” Roman snapped.“I didn’t do anything,” Klara said quickly. Too quickly.“I never said you did,” Roman replied, voice quiet but sharp. “But you’re reacting like someone who has something to hide.”Her eyes flickered. “Is there a point to this, Roman?”“During my honeymoon, Grayson showed up, holding a copy of this.” He slid the contract over to Klara. “And now I wonder how he even laid hands on it.”She picked it up and glanced through it, her expression unreadable

Chapter 55 - Klara

“When were you going to tell me about you and Klara?” Tessa spun to face Roman the second the door shut behind him.Roman exhaled, dragging a hand down his face.“Can you calm down please?” He scoffed. “Don’t.” She stepped forward, eyes blazing. “Don’t tell me to calm down. When, Roman?”He met her stare, unflinching.“I never planned on telling you.”Tessa laughed, sharp and bitter. “You don’t get a point for brutal honesty.” She said coldly.Roman’s jaw flexed. “Okay, fine. Yes. Klara and I were together for years. I was twenty-four, stupid and I loved her.”Tessa said nothing, she bit her lower lip, urging him to continue. “And then one day,” Roman continued. “I walked in on her. On her knees, deep throating my cousin.”Tessa winced. “Alec.”“Yes, Alec.” His voice went flat. “I was devastated. Furious. But I stayed.”Tessa took in a deep breath, her chest heaving. “I forgave her. Then my Dad died, the Thornes crushed us, and suddenly I wasn’t the golden ticket anymore. She left

Chapter 56 - Vicious

Tessa padded into the kitchen, rubbing her eyes, one hand on the edge of the counter as she reached for a glass. She stood barefoot in one of Roman’s oversized T-shirts, as she poured the cold water into the glass.The air smelled faintly of the chamomile tea Klara had been drinking, now spilt across the island where her elbows rested, head bowed, shoulders shaking with silent sobs.Tessa froze as soon as she heard the sounds.Her eyes squinted in the dark until she noticed the figure sitting. “Klara?” She whispered.Klara’s head snapped up. She swiped the tears away with the heel of her hand so viciously that it left red streaks on her cheekbones.“Tessa,” she said, voice raw but already sharpening, “what are you doing down here?”“Getting water.” Tessa lifted the glass like evidence. “But please, don’t stop crying on my account. It’s the most honest thing I’ve seen you do in months.”Klara straightened, smoothing her silk robe as if it could smooth away the last five minutes. “Wha

Chapter 57 - Silent Attacks

Klara tore through her room as if she were trying to rip the walls apart. Clothes hit the bed, the floor, the open suitcase—none of it mattered. Her hands were shaking, not from sadness, but from pure, blistering rage.She yanked a dress from the hanger so hard the hook snapped.“Two months,” she muttered, breath sharp, chest rising fast. “Two damn months and she thinks she can toss me out like trash.”She shoved the dress into the suitcase, pressing it down with her palm. Her jaw clenched so tightly her teeth hurt.Roman used to worship her. Used to wait at her door, waiting for any hint that she’d take him back after the cheating, after the mess. He’d forgiven her a thousand times more than she deserved. And now he let that girl stand in the middle of his kitchen and talk to her like she was nothing?Klara’s laugh cracked out, sharp and humourless.“She thinks she’s won.” She grabbed another stack of clothes and threw them inside. “She thinks a ring and a pregnancy mean she’s untouc

Chapter 58 - The Uninvited Guest

The front doors blew open before Klara’s hand even touched them.Cold morning air swept in, curling through the foyer like a cursed spirit.And there he stood.Grayson.Tall, crisp suit, shirt open at the throat. Calm, collected, and far too comfortable in a house that didn’t welcome him with open arms.His eyes skimmed the room once—Roman, Tessa, Salima, Nandini, before landing on the suitcase at Klara’s side.His mouth tipped into a slow, knowing smirk.“Going somewhere, sweetheart?”Klara froze. Her throat snapped shut. Her pulse climbed into her ears.She whispered, barely a breath, “What are you doing here?”Grayson didn’t even look at her fully. He leaned in just enough for only she—and fortunately no one else in the silent foyer—to hear.“Relax, blondie,” he murmured. “I can see your forehead creasing. If I wanted to burn you alive, you’d already be screaming.”Klara’s stomach plunged. Her fingers tightened around the suitcase handle until her knuckles cracked.He straightened,

Chapter 59 - It’s Not That Deep

Roman and Grayson stared at one another so intensely that they could burn the whole study down.“Why don’t you learn how to focus on the issues in your own family? What happens with mine is none of your business.” Roman sneered.“Ever since you claimed Tessa as yours. Believe me, everything you do is my business.” Grayson fired back.“Why won’t you just quit it, Grayson? Tessa isn’t yours anymore. There are reasons you lost her and it’s not because of me. You can’t keep using that to try to ruin my life.” Roman shot at his brother.“Well, you’ve ruined mine by taking the one thing that was meant for me, so best believe Roman, every chance I get, I will use it.” Grayson threatened.“Stay away from Tessa,” Roman growled.“Tell your wife to stop trembling every time I look at her,” Grayson smirked. “It fuels me.”“Grayson. I swear to God—”Grayson cracked a deep laugh. “You think I’m afraid of a man who needed a contract to keep his marriage from collapsing?”“And you think I’m afraid t

Chapter 60 - Escapades

Tessa stirred beneath the heavy silk sheets, a low ache pulsing between her thighs every time she shifted.She was sore, deliciously, brutally sore, the kind of ache that reminded her exactly how deep Roman had been, how hard he’d taken her on that cold kitchen counter just hours ago. Her skin still carried faint bruises from his fingers, his teeth, the edge of the counter. She could still taste him on her tongue, still feel the ghost of his hand clamped over her mouth as he’d growled against her skin.She slipped from the bed carefully, legs trembling the moment her feet touched the floor. The room was dim, curtains drawn.Roman was sprawled on his stomach beside the space she’d left, one arm flung out as if even in sleep he was reaching for her. The sheet had shifted low on his hips, revealing the red scratches she’d raked down his back. A dark, satisfied smile tugged at her lips.She needed to wash him off her skin.Or at least pretend she did.The bathroom glowed softly when she
