All Chapters of My Ex-Husband’s Vengeful Obsession: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Tessa’s voice started to crack and her legs shook, but she stood her ground, staring down the employees who were looking at her with a mix of fear and hatred. She went through them one by one without flinching."If anyone dares accuse me again without proof, you’re all fired. No recommendation letters, no severance, no insurance. And I promise, Nathan Hale himself will make sure you can’t get a decent job in this town. Got it?"She knew it was a reckless threat. She wasn’t even sure how Nathan would react to the chaos she’d just caused. But she hoped her words were sharp enough to stop them from treating her like garbage."Back to work. I only need two of you here in case the paramedics need help."The paramedics arrived shortly after, and Tessa got into the ambulance with Ana. She tried to give a quick rundown to one of them, struggling to explain everything, but the guy barely seemed to listen. His focus was completely on Ana and the radio chatter filled with codes she didn’t unders

The interrogation room door swung open suddenly. Light from the hallway spilled in, cutting through the gloom and landing on a tall, sharply dressed man. Nathan Hale.His presence filled the room instantly, clearing the stale air. Even Morgan, who had been frozen mid-motion, felt his breath catch.Nathan’s blue eyes were cold as the Arctic, scanning every corner until they landed on Tessa. She was curled up, hands cuffed, clothes rumpled, face pale with fear. Morgan still had his hands hovering over the table, frozen mid-strike. Nathan’s icy aura hit the room like a gust before a storm.Tessa felt like she could finally breathe.“What are you doing to my wife?” Nathan’s voice was low and sharp, echoing in the cramped room.Morgan jumped to his feet, his cocky stance gone, replaced by confusion and a flicker of fear. “W-Wife? Mr. Hale, but the records show you’re divorced…”“She’s my fiancée, and we’re getting married,” Nathan cut in, stepping toward the table. His eyes never left Morg

The chaos in the emergency room hit Nathan like a wall of light, smells, and shouting all at once. He carried Tessa in his arms, moving straight toward the registration desk, ignoring the protests and stares of anyone trying to get in his way."She’s my wife! She’s eight weeks pregnant and just diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis. Her stomach hurts badly. I need an obstetrician, now!" His voice, usually commanding enough to silence a boardroom, trembled just a little.Authority, the Hale family name, and maybe the wild fire in his eyes, made the hospital staff act instantly.Within seconds, Tessa was pulled from his arms and placed on a gurney, disappearing behind the doors of the restricted zone, surrounded by white coats and worried faces. Nathan stayed behind in the middle of the chaos, empty-handed, feeling utterly powerless watching Tessa terrified and in pain.The next hour stretched longer than any Nathan had ever endured. Longer than the months of their divorce, longer than th

The hearing was over, and Nathan walked out on bail without breaking a sweat.But it wasn’t done. Outside, reporters swarmed him with questions. That was when Tessa flashed through his mind. She had gone through the exact same thing years ago.Back then she had been completely alone. No bodyguards, no allies. Cornered by the same kind of hungry reporters, their questions cutting like knives, their cameras ready to humiliate anyone in their path. Nathan could picture her trying to hide her face, stumbling, terrified, trapped with no one to protect her. Tessa swallowed every bit of that poison all by herself.For Nathan, the media was an annoyance. For Tessa, it must have been hell.That thought made him even more certain of his decision to confess to something he didn’t do. He couldn’t let her go through that again. A cold shiver crept down his spine, laced with anger. Not at the reporters, but at himself and at a world that had made Tessa so vulnerable. The contrast between them was b

Tessa was convinced she had to be dreaming, because there was no other explanation for why the day felt so perfect. First, she finally had a real chance that her father might be innocent. Second, if she made it past the first trimester, her baby’s odds of surviving would rise. And third, Ana, the victim who could pull back her report, had just regained consciousness.The problem was simple. They had to get there before the police did, before Ana had the chance to speak. Tessa was sure the woman wouldn’t claim she slipped. She would blame Tessa again, just like in the ambulance. If that happened, Nathan would be accused of obstruction and Tessa would be dragged into attempted murder.And honestly, it made perfect sense from Ana’s perspective. Of course she would lie so no one would believe Tessa when she said the woman had intentionally tried to make her miscarry. Ana had visible injuries from the fall. Tessa had nothing to prove a forced miscarriage attempt.Tessa set the important do
