Tessa“Tessa, I am observing you since the evening. You keep zoning out.” Logan asked me once we sat down on the swing outside the house.The mild sea breeze was soothing my mind but I couldn’t deal with the inner turmoil inside me.“I am fine, Logan. It just the work pressure. You know I haven’t worked for years so it’ll take me some time to adapt to this new life style.” I replied because it wasn’t a lie.“I understand but I am glad that you’re finally making use of your talent. How is the progress with your launch?” He asked with keen interest and it surprised me because he rarely asked about my work.“Yes, we have a date for our first show but the store opening is two days after the show because we’re making limited edition for now.” I told him.“It’s good if you want to target a certain class but as a businessman I advise you to go for mass if you want to sell for people who can afford your clothes otherwise rich people have other options. That’s my advice, it’s up to you if you

Tessa“Lucas, see over there!” I pointed on a group of colourful fishes on the surface.We were on a boat to sail off in the ocean where we could see marine life.“Wow! Mommy, they are beautiful.” Lucas’ eyes widened in amusement.He was totally enjoying the trip while I and Logan faced another awkward moment. He was trying his best to avoid me. I tried explaining him that I didn’t mean what he heard but after that he didn’t speak to me much and I decided to give him some space.I didn’t like to be a clingy woman.“Master Lucas, come over here. I’ll show you more interesting things.” The instructor called Lucas to the other side of the boat who was showing us the unseen side of the sea.“Be careful and don’t be over excited.” I reminded my little bundle of joy and he ran towards the man who was expert in showing marine life.I was feeling nauseated but I tried my best not to show my discomfort on my face.“We’ll head back home tonight. I have an urgent meeting early in the morning tom

Logan “Logan, for the last time I am saying this.” Raelynn’s father said in an irritated voice.“Are you sure that you have nothing to do with Tessa’s sudden disappearance?” I asked him in a deadpanned tone.“Son, please, trust us. We don’t know where is Tessa. We haven’t seen her in a very long time and she hadn’t contacted us before leaving your house.” Susan, Raelynn’s mother said in a polite tone but it didn’t make me believe them.“It’s not a secret how you have been living on the wealth which Tessa’s father left for her and how you have treated her before the marriage so don’t act like saints. It’s better if you have nothing to do with her disappearance. Because, if I find out that you had hurt her, trust me, you’ll see the worst side of me.”“Are you threatening us, Logan?” Mr. Cowper raised his tone.“In whatever way you understand what I am trying to say. You must be a good parent for Raelynn but the worst guardian for Tessa.” I said with disdain.“Logan, it’s good that she’

TessaThe excruciating pain coursed through my body. It was the worst pain.“I..can’t..do it.” I breathed out and another contraction hit me.“Tessa, you have to be strong. You aren’t fully dilated yet. We can’t wait more for you to be ready to push the baby naturally, we are considering a c-section.” The doctor said softly.Tears soaked my face. I was all alone delivering a baby.“Doctor, is my baby okay? Please, tell me the truth.” I whispered because they all looked tensed.“Your baby is fine but not you, Tessa. I thought telling you would stress you even more but you have no family member present with you except your aunt.” The doctor sighed.My heart sank. Everything was smooth since the beginning but what went wrong in the end?“Your umbilical cord prolapsed before the baby is ready to come out. It’s stressing your baby and it might rapture your placenta. We need to perform the surgery, Tessa or your life would be in more danger.” She told me.Coldness wrapped me.“My baby will

LoganMy search for my wife came to an end when I called back on the number that changed my life and ended my excruciating wait.I found Tessa and our baby.She was delivering our baby when I flew to the town where she had been living for months. I visited her aunt twice to ask her about Tessa but she denied.Tessa was hiding herself from me. Her coldness in our first conversation after our separation made me realize that it wasn’t going to be easy for me.She had made up my mind to leave me but I wasn’t going to give up easily.All those months without her had made my life hollow and unlively. I was surrounded by my family, I had Lucas, tons of work and Raelynn always trying to ease my hidden pain but nothing worked.The relief I felt when I heard about her delivering our baby and it also pained me to know that she was going through it alone.She had complications during the birth which almost cost her life.My cowardice and inability to reach a decision caused her to live alone, end
