"Of course, I heard, but what do you mean by sleeping together?" Axel stared at Tessa's face with a different look. What man wouldn't think it strange when he heard Tessa's invitation, which sounded so misleading?"I mean. I'm also going to sleep here with you; I'm not going home because I'm afraid you'll be killed, and then I'll be blamed." Tessa placed her bag on Axel's desk and sat on one of the chairs in front of him."Who would kill me?" Axel was increasingly incredulous at Tessa's confession of reason, which was more like a scene in a movie."I don't know, sir. Stop asking questions; I don't know either." Tessa took out her phone again, just to look at social media. What she's doing right now is just an excuse so that she doesn't look awkward in front of Axel.Tessa has many male customers who hire her services. They also have handsome faces and are charming, not least because many behave like Manley, are cute, and are attentive to Tessa. But strangely, she was even nervous in t
I just had sex with her.Tessa, who was still conscious, saw the shadow of Axel, who stood up and threw the object into the trash can. Before finally throwing himself back on the bed. Taking his place beside Tessa, who closed her eyes, those hands pulled Tessa's body into his arms."Are you okay?" Axel whispered as he caressed Tessa's face."No. Tessa wanted to answer that, but in the end, she only answered Axel with a small nod of her head. She was too tired to make a sound now and preferred to remain silent to gather the remaining energy in her body. I don't know what time it was; Tessa didn't give a damn! Once again, she was sleeping with Axel."Are you sure you're okay? Do you need anything?" Axel was worried by Tessa's more reserved demeanor after what happened between them. Honestly, Axel couldn't let go of Tessa if Tessa said she was sorry for what happened between them a few hours ago."I'm fine, just a little tired." Tessa opened her eyes and looked back at Axel's face, who w
Tessa opened her eyes when she realized it was morning. The sun was shining brightly through the flimsy curtains. But even though Tessa knew it was morning, she didn't move from the bed. Her hands pulled the blanket over her body even more. Tessa didn't want the morning to come quickly; she just wished it was still nighttime."I don't want to work!"Tessa yelled that she didn't want to go to work today. She couldn't see Axel; Tessa didn't want to and couldn't if she was forced to pretend to forget what happened last night.As she tried to close her eyes. Tessa's cell phone rang again, causing her to throw off the blanket covering her face and answer the phone, regardless of who was calling her."Hello.""Good morning, Miss Tessa Azela.""Good morning?""We are reporting an act of violence and attempted murder to Miss Riana this morning from the police."Tessa was surprised to hear the name of the woman who had raised her. Riana was Tessa's aunt and had cared for her since childhood. F
"Sir, Miss Natasha is attempting suicide again."James wrung his hands as he received a report from his subordinate on the news of Natasha, once again seeking reproach for ending her life. It turns out that Natasha wasn't content to take her suicide to the extreme by jumping into a ravine with her car.After two weeks, James received news that Natasha was still alive and even stranger. There were no severe injuries on his wife's body other than a wound on her head. Although Natasha was critical, James was happy because he managed to find his wife again.Natasha might not be able to accept a demon like her. Maybe Natasha was traumatized by seeing James brutally kill his opponent who tried to disturb his peace. But this is how James should be able to accept the shortcomings of her husband, who has always tried to cover up his identity, which was finally revealed too.If you ask if James loves Natasha, of course, the answer is yes.James loves Natasha, an innocent woman who three years a
"Daddy!"Axel was surprised when his father suddenly came and opened the door to his room. Just as Tessa was sitting on Axel's lap, Tessa quickly jumped down from Axel's lap, which was entangling her body."You guys do anything perverted in the office?" Xander acted casually and chose to walk over to the couch and sit there.Xander's eyes glanced briefly at Tessa. Xander thought that he was not wrong to hire Tessa's services at such a fantastic price. Because it was evident from Tessa's performance that Xander had no doubts."Daddy, what made Daddy come to the company?" Axel tried to change the subject."Hmm. I just came to visit and see how you're doing as CEO." Xander crossed his legs and smiled a smirk."I'm still trying to adjust to the company situation, Dad, and I also still have a lot to learn." Axel was a little nervous about his father asking about Tessa again."I see you've taken a liking to the new secretary. It's only been two days since she started working with you, but i
"Hmmm." Tessa started the engine and drove the car out of the office parking lot. Tessa would show Axel that her car could not be underestimated because its speed was not inferior to the latest cars."Where are we going on a date?" Axel opened the conversation after marveling at Tessa's serious and beautiful face while driving.''Because it's my first date... I want to do it like a normal couple, even though we're not lovers,'' Tessa said, giving Axel a glance before focusing on the road ahead.''Your first date? You've never dated anyone before,'' Axel said, surprised to hear that fact. To be honest, he wasn't sure. Considering Tessa's pretty face, there was no way no one would be interested in her, then, James? Weren't they close before?"No... I've never dated before; does that matter to you? Tessa looked back at Axel's face who looked incredulous at what she was saying. But that was the fact.''I've honestly never dated anyone either.'' There was one thing in common between the tw
Axel came out of the dressing room. And he tried to find Tessa's whereabouts, which turned out to be after he looked for the woman with a man named Matthew. Just now, Axel told Tessa not to get too close to the man. But it seems that Tessa is still violating her prohibition. Axel did not immediately approach Tessa; he only monitored her from a distance. Axel is just trying to hold himself back from looking too possessive. I don't know what's happening to him, maybe because this is the first time Axel has started a relationship with a woman. Even though they weren't dating, just bed partners, was it wrong for him to be angry about this? Axel approached Tessa casually. The fire of jealousy was already burning in his heart, and yes, he was jealous now.''Tessa...''''aaa Matthew we'll talk another time, okay.'' Tessa smiled and tried to end the conversation when Axel was beside her.''Come on...'' Tessa blinked her eyes and picked up two helmets, one of which she handed to Axel. However,
"I'm going home first. Just prepare the necessary things to bring tomorrow, the most important thing is not to let it burden you." Axel said goodbye to Tessa before getting into his private car.Axel rolled down the window slightly to look at Tessa's face before the car finally drove away.Tessa got back into her car and continued her journey back home.She had no idea what Natasha was doing in her apartment. Tessa had forgotten that someone else was living in her house at the moment."What's she doing? I forgot. Did Natasha have dinner?" Tessa thought to herself and picked up the pace of her car.A few minutes only seemed like a minute spent by Tessa with a race like it would deliver her to heaven. How could Tessa not drive her car at high speed through the streets of Seattle, which were fortunately no longer crowded with other vehicles?Tessa walked into her apartment. The fragrant smell of cooking immediately wafted to her senses. Tessa's footsteps continued into the pantry, and sh
"Please don't stress too much Mrs. Josephine. Congratulations on your pregnancy," the doctor said, still leaving Tessa in shock. Even her hands were shaking violently. Tessa could hardly believe that she was pregnant, and that she could only find out two months after her husband's death,her body was so thin it was almost like a living skeleton. Tessa walked out with tears already welling up in her eyes. She no longer had the strength to take a step, amongst all the pain that still lingered. There was always Berlin to witness it all, her body falling into Berlin's warm embrace. "Tessa, is everything okay?" Berlin whispered, holding Tessa's falling body. Tessa's tears were all she could muster. Her lips were pressed together so tightly that she couldn't even let out a sob. It was all too shocking, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad to receive this news. Sadly. Berlin was again faced with Tessa's devastation which gave her Dejavu. Seeing Tessa in ruin for the second time,
"How is Mr. Josephine? Is this resting place big enough?" Hardin gazed at the burial place he had reserved. A very peaceful place to fall asleep in peace, Hardin also chose right under a tree that would protect him from the heat. "Very good. I agree to take this," Hardin replies to the person who helped him find a good burial spot. "Okay. But I apologize in advance. Who will be keeping it?" "Someone who will like it," Hardin replies with a smile. "I'm sorry for your sadness, Mr. Josephine. After this, I hope you get the best replacement," says the cemetery owner. "Thank you." Hardin turned back and looked at the places that had been filled. Many of the years were old, but Hardin would be the youngest to rest here. "Hello. I'm Hardin Josephine, I hope I can make good friends with you guys later," Hardin monologues to himself. Hardin looked up at the clear sky. He smiled with his eyes closed. God. If something happens to me someday. Please make sure the one I love is in a w
As he promised yesterday, today Hardin fulfills all of Tessa's wishes. From surfing to jet skiing and banana boat rides. Now they're recharging their batteries by sipping coconut water on the beach, leaning back on a couple of beach chairs. Hardin is possessive as he doesn't let go of Tessa's hand even though they're both just lying down."Honey, are you asleep?" asks Hardin, uncovering Tessa's beach hat that covers his wife's beautiful face.Sure enough, Tessa was sleeping peacefully, Hardin shielding Tessa's face with the beach hat. Hardin's eyes scan Tessa's face in full, his wife looks so beautiful there's no one like her, not even the goddess Aphrodite."Stop watching my face, I'm going to explode now." Tessa opens her eyes, she can't stand being watched intensely by Hardin."I thought you were asleep, turns out you were lying." Hardin moves closer to Tessa's face, giving a small peck to the small lips smeared with cherry-scented lipgloss."Almost, but you woke me up." Tessa chan
France, ParisTessa looked up at the Eiffel Tower in front of her eyes. She was with Hardin who hugged her body from behind, Tessa's breath emitted smoke as it turned out that the night in the Eiffel was getting colder. Because of the change of season that will soon be winter, Tessa did not stop smiling as she raised her head to enjoy the beautiful spark of fireworks."When did you prepare all this?" Tessa turns her head slightly to look into Hardin's face, clasping his hand tightly in her coat pocket."While you were gone, I called someone and told them what I wanted." Hardin nuzzles the top of Tessa's head.Tessa turns her body and looks into Hardin's eyes, one hand caresses Hardin's face and slightly stands on tiptoe to reach Hardin's face and kiss him gently."I'm so happy to be with you," Tessa says in a small whisper in front of Hardin's face."Me too." Hardin kisses the top of Tessa's hand.Tessa hugs Hardin's body tightly, the fear growing since a few days ago. Tessa wishes ev
A woman stands in a field of tulips. Her hair tied back, she is still busy tending to the plants with both hands. Tessa smiled as she successfully planted two new colors of tulips in her grandmother's backyard. Tessa continued to work on Camelia's flower shop which had grown in size, Tessa tried to stand up with one hand holding her belly which had again grown so large that it hindered her movement slightly."Madam you have too much to do today." Tessa again heard the small tone of the woman's voice that seemed to worry whenever she looked busy, even though Tessa loved all the work she did."Rania stop worrying so much. He and I are fine," Tessa rubbed the surface of her stomach."I'm just afraid of earning your husband's wrath." Rania made a pouty face."My husband can't get mad at you, as long as I'm with him." "I know what you're talking about Rania." Tessa twisted her body and turned around, she stared at the man who walked up to her still wearing his office suit."Honey, why d
The atmosphere was so sacred. Among the white roses that adorned the outdoor space, chairs were arranged neatly. With a white piano in the corner of the altar, everything was so beautiful that day.Tessa gazed up at everything from the second floor, she could see the atmosphere of the wedding venue. Tessa stood in a wedding dress with long flowing tails, the sleeves of which Sabrina had sprinkled with pearls on the chest. Tessa's head was beautifully adorned with pearls, the smile never fading from her face. "You look so happy," Berlin stood at the door, carrying a bouquet of orchids and white roses arranged in a beautiful little dangle."Of course," Tessa added, spreading her arms, welcoming Berlin who came running towards her."Happy new life my Queen." Berlin let go of her embrace, letting her tears fall on the bouquet in her hand."Why are you fucking crying!" Tessa cursed Berlin with a laugh."You bitch! You beat me to the wedding." Berlin joined in on Tessa's cursing, Berlin we
"You're not tired! I know you're sick!" Tessa covered her face as she cried in front of Hardin. Tessa felt like she couldn't do anything even though she was a doctor. She should have been more sensitive to this, but Tessa foolishly felt no suspicion at all."Baby, I'll get better." Hardin covers both of Tessa's shoulders and pulls her into a hug."You should have talked to me... Don't keep it to yourself, I'm your wife! No one else." Tessa continued to speak with a tightness that seemed to fill her chest."Who said you were the neighbor's wife?" Hardin laughed loudly."Hardin! I'm serious," Tessa punches Hardin in the chest."Crazy! I'm cured, I've got a really good personal doctor." "Who?" Tessa looks Hardin in the eye."You." Hardin strokes Tessa's cheek, wiping away the tears that still flow from Tessa's beautiful eyes."I'm serious. We need to go to the hospital, I need to know your pain in detail... What have you been feeling all this time?" Tessa still can't forget what happen
With only a glass wall as a barrier. Tessa looked down at the little fairy Athena who lay with several devices on her body, Tessa stared at the bag of blood that was still not full. This was already the second bag she would be giving to Athena."Hang in there little fairy, after this Aunty is sure Athena is much stronger." Tessa thought to herself, she seemed to have telepathy with the unconscious Athena."Miss Tessa the blood donation is complete." The nurse helped Tessa to remove the needle in her hand.Tessa changed her position to sitting. She looked at Athena with a feeling that was somehow so fearful, Tessa seemed to have an inner bond with the little girl. Hadn't Tessa said it wasn't the first time, she felt the same way.Tessa got off the hospital gurney. She walked out of the room, Axel's face and her husband Hardin's. Isn't it, a scene like this hasn't happened in a long time. Directly or indirectly the three of them were reunited-- albeit under inappropriate circumstances.
Axel stopped by a shop where he remembered that his daughter loved windmill-shaped candy. Before picking Athena up, Axel bought some candy."Athena will love it..." Axel smiled touching the various cute shapes of candies displayed in the window."Do you have anything else to add, sir?" "Not enough of these," Axel said as he took out a few bills from his pocket.After receiving the bag and completing the payment Axel walked back to his car. His foot stepped into the left door and sat behind the steering wheel, placing the plastic bag with his daughter's favorite thing right on his right side.The smile on Axel's lips didn't stop as his fingers continued to do a little dance as he gripped the steering wheel. The journey to his daughter's school only took about twenty minutes by car, but it seemed like the school was deserted. Axel's feet stepped out of the car into the schoolyard, he tried to find Athena among the students who were still waiting for their parents to pick them up."Miss
