The True Heiress, His Worst Nightmare의 모든 챕터: 챕터 91 - 챕터 100

Tessa turned to leave but a hand held her from behind.The warmth of the grip instantly made her body stiffen. She did not even need to turn around to know who it was. That touch alone was familiar enough to pull painful memories back into her chest immediately.The noisy hall behind them had already started calming down after Lauren was dragged away. The earlier chaos was fading gradually, but the heaviness in the atmosphere still remained.Tessa slowly turned.Curtis stood behind her.His eyes were red, his face pale, and his expression carried the kind of regret that looked almost unbearable. The proud and composed Curtis Deveraux looked completely lost."Tessa." He called softly.The way he said her name sounded cautious, almost fragile, like he was afraid she would disappear if he spoke too loudly.But Tessa's expression hardened immediately.All the pain she suffered because of him flashed through her mind again in seconds.Talk about the humiliation.The divorce.The accusati

Moments later, still at the graveyard, the driver opened the car door just outside the gate as Curtis carried Tessa inside and gently drop her on the backseat. The cold evening wind blew softly around them, carrying the scent of wet earth and flowers from the cemetery behind. Tessa looked completely drained. Her face was pale from crying too much, and her body no longer carried the strength it had earlier when she screamed at Curtis beside their son's grave. She had cried until her entire body became weak. Even while Curtis carried her toward the car, her fingers still clutched weakly against his suit unconsciously, almost like her body no longer had the energy to resist properly anymore. Curtis carefully bent and placed her gently against the backseat. His movements were slow and cautious, as though he was handling something fragile that could break completely with one wrong touch. The driver quietly stepped aside after opening the door fully, lowering his gaze respec

"You did this to her." Grace said, unhappy.Her voice carried anger and disbelief as she stared directly at Tessa. The office atmosphere immediately became tense again.Most of the files still lay scattered across the floor from where Kira had hurriedly pulled them off the table moments earlier. The once elegant office Lauren ruled over proudly now looked disturbed and disorganized, almost like the room itself was reflecting the downfall of its former owner.Ashley's chest rose and fell heavily as she stood there.Unlike the others in the company who quickly shifted loyalty after Lauren's downfall, Grace still looked unwilling to accept reality.To her, Lauren was still her boss.Still the woman who built Ecofel into something powerful.And now seeing Tessa standing there confidently, occupying the same office Lauren once controlled, made bitterness grow rapidly inside her chest.Tessa remained calm.Her expression barely changed.She simply stood there with both hands buried inside

Before the stairs leading up to Tessa’s office, Curtis was giving Kira a bunch of wrapped flowers and a flask possibly containing food. He looked hurried. Morning light filtered through the glass walls, casting long reflections on the polished tiles, but none of it softened the exhausted look on Curtis’s face.His tie sat slightly loose around his neck like someone who had rushed out without caring properly about his appearance. The flowers in his hand were fresh white lilies mixed with soft pink roses, carefully wrapped with cream-colored paper. The flask looked expensive too, the kind that kept food warm for hours. From the tightness in the way he held both items, it was obvious he had personally selected them.“Mr. Deveraux,” Kira said, collecting the items, looking nervous. “you want me to send Ms. Dean these every day. I’m running out of excuses. Maybe you should give her these yourself.”She adjusted the flowers awkwardly in one hand while holding the flask with the other.

She turn on the flash light from her phone to see, but few seconds later, the phone went off due to battery low.The tiny beam of light flickered weakly across the office before disappearing completely, throwing the room back into darkness. The sudden silence around her felt heavier now. Without the light from her phone, the office became pitch black, leaving only the faint glow of distant city lights struggling through the glass windows.“My phone is dead.” She said, her voice weak, one hand still pressed to her stomach.Another sharp pain twisted through her lower abdomen immediately after the words left her mouth. Tessa bent slightly, breathing harder as her fingers tightened against her stomach. Sweat had already formed lightly across her forehead despite the cold air lingering in the office.The pain was becoming unbearable.She tried to steady herself against the wall, but her strength was slowly leaving her body. Her head still ached badly from stress and exhaustion, and no
