All Chapters of The True Heiress, His Worst Nightmare: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Lauren had stood beside him smirking, so excited that her plans had worked after all.The satisfaction on her face that day had been impossible to miss. She had folded her arms calmly across her chest, watching the entire scene unfold like it was some kind of victory worth celebrating. Not once had pity crossed her face while Tessa knelt helplessly before them.“Please, don’t do it.” Tessa cried, her hands lifted towards him. “Please.”Her voice had sounded shattered already, but Curtis had refused to listen. The more she begged, the colder his face became. Anger and suspicion had blinded him so completely that he could no longer see the broken woman kneeling before him as his wife.He only saw betrayal.Or at least, what he thought was betrayal.But he ignored her and just like that, he turned the box upside down and emptied the ashes on her.The wind moved sharply across the graveyard the exact moment the ashes poured out from the box.For one horrible second, time itself seemed

Tessa sat quietly unlike her, at the head seat of conference room.The large conference table stretched across the room, polished so clean that the reflection of the overhead lights bounced faintly across its surface. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows stood behind Tessa, revealing the cloudy afternoon outside. The weather looked dull and heavy, as though rain had been threatening to fall since morning.Yet inside the conference room, the atmosphere remained tense and focused.Tessa sat upright in the leather chair at the head of the table, her fingers resting lightly against the armrest while several files lay neatly before her. Ever since taking over Ecofel officially, the air around her had changed completely.Nobody dared to take her lightly anymore.Not after what happened to Lauren.Not after Flower Gods became the biggest jewelry sensation in the city.Standing by her both sides, stood her assistant - Kira and on the left was Melina holding up a file to her chest.Kira stood pro

Fear gripped Tessa as she could hear her weakened heart pounding violently in her chest, each beat feeling like a drum against her ribs.The sharp edge of the knife brushing lightly against her face sent cold tension crawling through her entire body like ice water spreading through her veins. Her wrists already hurt badly from struggling against the ropes for so long, the rough fibers cutting into her skin and leaving raw marks, yet she forced herself to remain calm outwardly, to keep her expression neutral.That was the only way to survive this moment.Lauren stood before her breathing heavily, her chest heaving with exertion, her eyes unstable and burning with anger that had clearly piled up for too long. The hatred in her expression no longer looked ordinary or controlled. It looked dangerous. Unhinged. Completely beyond reason.Tessa slowly lifted her face toward Lauren despite the fear clawing at her chest, despite every instinct screaming at her to look away."You can't change

"Your job here is done." Came Lauren's fierce voice as she stepped forward, snatching the phone from the man's hand. Her face was hard with anger, her eyes swollen with sleepless rage and resentment that had built up over time. Tessa remained on the cold floor, one hand pressed weakly against the spot where the heavy stick had landed on her back earlier."Leave! I'll give you the money once I'm done with her."The man was still shaking, bent to Tessa on the ground. His rough face carried desperation more than cruelty. Sweat gathered around his forehead while his trembling fingers scratched nervously against his trousers. His eyes darted repeatedly between Lauren and Tessa like someone caught between fear and greed."I'll save you as long as you pay me better than she did." He whispered to her, his widened eyes looking strangely serious, almost convincing, as if he truly expected Tessa to agree to such madness.Tessa stared at him with disbelief. Her head still ached heavily from

Curtis gently lifted Tessa from the ground.He carefully held her not minding the panic written all over his face. One of his hands supported her shoulder while the other wrapped protectively around her waist. Tessa winced slightly from the lingering pain around her stomach and the ache spreading through the back of her head where she had been struck earlier.Dust clung faintly to her clothes and hair.Her breathing was uneven.Yet the moment Curtis touched her, she could feel how badly his hands were shaking.And immediately, Lauren halted.The small knife remained tightly hidden inside her palm for a second before she slowly changed her expression. The hatred on her face disappeared almost instantly, replaced with tears and trembling lips. She quietly slipped the knife back into her breast pocket as though nothing had happened.Then she slowly dropped to her knees.Like a victim.Like someone broken."Are you okay?" Curtis asked Tessa passionately.His eyes searched her face anxio
