All Chapters of My Ex-Husband’s Vengeful Obsession: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Three days laterIn her room, Tessa lay unconscious, like some fairy tale princess, except no kiss was coming to wake her up.Nathan threw a vase at the wall, and it sailed past Dr. Bennett’s head.“Three days!” he snapped, ruffling his own hair. He stepped closer, and the doctor retreated until his back hit the wall. Shards of the vase littered the floor. “You said she’d only be out for a few hours. Look at her now! Three days, damn it!”The doctor hesitated, adjusting his glasses that didn’t help much.“It could be a reaction…” he said, his hands moving more than his words. He knew Nathan sometimes had trouble controlling his temper. “A reaction that’s not consistent with the other medications she’s taking.”“Don’t give me your medical excuses!” Nathan shouted, pacing the room, searching for something else to throw. “You’re her doctor! You should know what she can and can’t take!”The doctor looked down, embarrassed, but tried to stay composed.He was supposed to be one of the best

Shock hit Tessa so fast she couldn’t even think. A second later, she was on the carpet, pinned beneath Nathan’s body, every movement trapped under his weight. His body felt like a cage of steel pressing against her chest, crushing the air out of her lungs. Nathan’s blue eyes looked darker that night, filled with anger and something else. Something she couldn’t name, but it scared her more than anything. “What the hell are you doing?” she hissed, struggling to move. Nathan caught both her wrists and pinned them above her head. “Let me go, you psycho!” She swallowed hard, words dying in her throat. The calm, rational man from earlier was gone. “If you really want to act like a whore and pick up clients on the street,” he said, voice low and icy, every word slicing through the air, “then I’ll show you what that means. You better get used to doing it anytime, anywhere. Because they won’t pay just to treat you like a princess.” Heat rushed to her face, burning her cheeks. She squirmed,

Tessa woke up in bed, her eyes slowly adjusting to the soft light slipping through the curtains. Her head felt heavy, like her mind was wrapped in fog. She couldn’t remember how she’d fallen asleep, and… why was she already dressed? Did she pass out?Something inside her told her Nathan had everything to do with this.Her body remembered everything. The sensations were burned into her mind, refusing to fade no matter how hard she tried to forget.The spot next to her was empty and cold. Nathan hadn’t slept there, and if he had, it must’ve been a while ago.Tessa stood up carefully. The pale green nightgown clinging to her skin reminded her of her own eyes. Her gaze fell on the bedside table, where a few bottles of medicine and a folded note sat on a tray beside breakfast.Nathan’s handwriting was clear and neat. 'Don’t forget to take your medicine and eat a lot. You need your strength so you won’t pass out again.'She grabbed the note, crushed it in her hand, and threw it to the floor

Tessa could feel the heat rushing through her veins. Her pulse pounded in her ears, her heartbeat racing faster than usual, and somehow that sensation felt liberating. Maybe because she’d finally said everything she’d been holding inside.“I’m not lying, Tessa,” Nathan said flatly.“And I’m just supposed to believe you? Just because you said so?” she snapped, grabbing the folder from the desk and throwing it to the floor. “How do I know you didn’t fake all this?”“Tessa, I’ve been taking care of you!” Nathan’s voice cracked at the edge of anger, his eyes sharp. He slammed his fist on the desk. “Do you know how many times I checked your heart monitor? I watched those damn cameras for hours while I was supposed to be working! I even handed off my own responsibilities because I couldn’t stop worrying about you!”“I don’t care!” Tessa shouted back. “You think I should thank you for spying on me?”Nathan took a deep breath, his gaze locked on hers. “You think you’re the only one who was sc

Everything happened in a blink. Nathan burst into the room like a raging storm. His eyes were cold as ice, sharp enough to cut through anyone who dared to stand in his way.The man tried to get up, but it was useless. Tessa’s ex-husband grabbed him and slammed him into the mirror, shattering it into a thousand pieces.“Nathan!” Tessa shouted, more out of shock than concern.She wasn’t an angel, and that man deserved what he got.Her eyes widened in horror as Nathan kicked him again and again, then drove his heel into the man’s face like he’d lost all control.She shut her eyes tight when the first drop of blood spilled from his mouth. The sound of bones cracking made her stomach turn.“Bastard,” Nathan growled, his voice barely human. He reached into the man’s pocket, pulled out a screwdriver, and drove it into his stomach.Those few seconds felt like forever. Then Nathan threw the screwdriver to the floor, his face blank. His chest rose and fell rapidly as he tried to breathe. Tessa
