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

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

Silk Over Steel

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,

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

When Two Worlds Collide

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

The Fracture

The moment the words left her lips, Tessa wished she could get them back, fold them into silence, and hide them where no one could ever find them. But Raymond’s eyes had already narrowed, sharpening like the blade of a knife.“Well, I met him while I was away – at a resort. We just hanged out and had a good time, nothing much. Didn’t know you guys had some sort of relationship by the way.” She was stuttering badly, probably because of the way Derrick fixed his gaze on her, softly but inquisitively or the tough menacing gaze of Raymond, that bore into her, attempting to squeeze out the truth out of her, through every means possible.“You were having fun with a man, not just any man but my closest pal, at a resort while I was tearing down everywhere looking for you? Do you realize how worried I was?” Raymond asked in a tone that sparked a provocation.A mix of anger and heat crawled into her cheeks. She wanted to give him a piece of her mind; how dare Raymond of questionable morals and

What Betrayal Feels Like

She stood barefoot, her long legs bare beneath the oversized shirt draping carelessly over her frame. The sleeves brushed her wrists, the hem grazing the tops of her thighs.Raymond’s shirt and nothing under.Her hair spilled down in tousled waves, as though she had only just rolled out of bed.Tessa’s stomach twisted violently.Danielle’s eyes landed on her first, widening with mock surprise, then shifted effortlessly to Raymond. Her lips curved into an easy smile. “Oh, you’re back.”Her tone was airy, as though nothing about this moment was fractured, as though the atmosphere wasn’t thick with rage. “You almost gave Ray a heart attack, sneaking out like that.”Ray.The name sliced through Tessa like a blade. Intimate. Possessive. It was a name she had never been allowed to use, never dared to shorten. To hear it from Danielle’s lips felt like a theft.Raymond froze.For the first time that night, uncertainty flickered in his expression. His fists loosened, dropping to his sides. But

The Game Plan

TessaThe air was a noose tightening around Tessa’s throat. Danielle’s smirk still lingered in the space like smoke after a fire, her words echoing in the silence: Ray said I could wear them… he wouldn’t mind. Would you?Tessa’s body shook, though whether from rage or humiliation, she couldn’t tell. She wanted to scream, to rip the shirt off Danielle’s body and hurl the shoes across the room, but her feet felt anchored to the floor. The betrayal was so naked, so brazen, that her mind struggled to keep pace with her heart.Her eyes sought Raymond’s instinctively, clinging to the smallest chance he might rebuke Danielle, that he might deny this display. But he stood motionless, carved from stone, his eyes locked on Tessa with something far worse than fury - silence.It was Derrick who moved first.He rose from the armchair with the deliberate calm of a man stepping into a battlefield. His hand slid into his pocket, his shoulders taut with tension, his gaze slicing toward Raymond before

The Spark in the Dark

Tessa's feet barely touched the staircase as she bolted upward, her heart hammering against her ribs. She didn’t stop until her bedroom door slammed shut behind her, the lock clicking into place.For a moment, she stood there in the dark, chest heaving, waiting for tears. Waiting for the collapse. But none came.Instead, a cold stillness seeped in.Her fingers curled into fists. She whispered into the empty room, the words tasting strange and sharp on her tongue.“I’ll let you go, Raymond. But not without a fight. You’ll pay for every humiliation. Every wound. Every night you made me feel like nothing.”Her reflection in the mirror startled her… eyes wild, mouth set, a stranger looking back.This wasn’t the Tessa who cried herself to sleep. This wasn’t the Tessa who waited for scraps of affection. This was a woman sharpening her grief into a blade.- DerrickHe didn’t follow her immediately even though he wanted to, badly. That would’ve been suicide with Raymond standing there like a
