Stealing My Husband From His Mistress Chapter 23
Tessa's POVI fell asleep early in the morning, so I woke up late. I'm so annoyed! I'm sure Darius and Martha are together! I quickly showered and got dressed before running down the stairs.When I got to the kitchen, I found Darius and Martha happily having breakfast. They were laughing as they shared a meal."Oh, you're awake," Martha said with a smile, making Darius look at me. "Come, join us.""Tessa." Darius stood up and pulled out a chair for me. He stared at my face, as if reading my mind. "Let's eat."I almost saw red, especially because of Martha's behavior. The nerve of this woman, offering me a seat like I'm the mistress and she's the wife. She seems to have forgotten who she's talking to.When Darius sat back down and continued talking to Martha, I cleared my throat to get their attention again."No, you two go ahead," I said coldly, making Darius stop. "Looks like I'm interrupting.""Tessa."I was about to leave when Darius called my name. I heard his footsteps approachin

Plus, Tessa was adding to the chaos in my mind."Darius? Darling, you're home!"Martha's bright face greeted me as I entered the house. I smiled as she hugged me.I looked around. Usually, Tessa would be waiting for me when I got home. The moment she heard my car, she'd be running to greet me. But why wasn't she here?"Why are you home so early? Are you having lunch here?"I looked at Martha's smiling face. "I told my secretary I'm taking half a day off.""Really? Because of me? I told you, I'm fine. But it's good that you're here. Lunch is almost ready. We'll eat together, okay?"I wasn't really paying attention to what she was saying, my mind was preoccupied with whether Tessa was home or not. Damn it, did she run away?"Martha, is Tessa back yet?"The bright smile on Martha's face slowly faded, replaced by sadness. "I

Tessa's POVThe excitement I felt when I told Darius about my pregnancy quickly vanished when I noticed he was silent.Instead of being happy and focusing on me, he turned to Martha, whose face suddenly lost all color."It's always Martha, Martha."I wiped away a tear that rolled down my cheek. I was trying hard not to cry because I didn't want to stress. It's bad for the baby in my tummy. But I couldn't help it, I was feeling hurt."Will even our child have to adjust? Shouldn't he be happy? That's what you're supposed to feel when you find out your wife is pregnant."I was still upset, so I didn't leave the room even when the maid called me for dinner. That maid, too.

Tessa's POVI heard several knocks on the door, but I didn't answer. I rolled my eyes as I stared out the window. A moment later, the door opened and Darius walked in."You didn't come down for breakfast. Are you not feeling well?"I still didn't answer, so he came over and sat beside me.He touched my forehead, checking for a fever."Are you mad?""You slept in her room," I said, pouting.He leaned closer and ruffled my hair like I was a child. "This little one is mad again. I didn't mean to. I just dozed off waiting for her to fall asleep. Don't be upset."I didn't answer and just turned away. He was making excuses again. How could he call that a nap? He woke up in the morning!"Alright, I have to go to work. Don't be mad, okay?"I bit my lip, trying to hold back my annoyance. Why couldn't that Martha just have a nightmare or something? It's so frustrating."What do you want me to bring you?"I glared at him. "Anything?""Yeah, anything, I'll buy it. Just tell me."I took a deep bre

Tessa's POVIt was late, but I was still awake, sitting pretty in the middle of the bed. I wasn't sleeping because I knew Darius was going to come into my room.That salon where my friend works is something else. They really made me look good, even I can't believe it. My eyebrows, eyelashes, hair, my whole face. It was worth every penny I spent."If it's just about beauty, Martha has nothing to brag about anymore. We're even! Maybe I'm even a little prettier than her after a good shower."I gasped when I heard the doorknob turn. I quickly fixed my hair and sat up straight."Tessa." Darius stopped in his tracks when his eyes landed on me.I had planned for this night. I bought some alluring sleepwear. I just forgot what it's called. My friend told me. Was it lingerie?"I've been waiting for you," I said, my voice soft and sweet.He swallowed hard, standing in front of the closed door. He was staring at me like I was a delicious meal."Are you just going to stand there?" I batted my eye

PrologueI stood in front of our bedroom door, pacing back and forth, while my husband, Darius, was busy packing his things inside. My eyes were wet with tears, my heart breaking with pain."Martha... I'm on my way."Hearing that, I rushed inside. I found him just finishing packing, so I stopped. My heart felt like it was going to explode with pain as I thought about him leaving me for Martha... his mistress.When he was finally done, he turned to the door where I was. He paused for a moment when our eyes met, but he seemed indifferent to my tears and walked past me.Each step Darius took towards the door felt like a stab to my heart. I closed my eyes, trying to hold back the sobs that wanted to escape my lips."Where are you going?"He stopped walking. He didn't answer, so I ran to him and tried to get his attention."What? I'm talking to you!"He sighed deeply. "You wouldn't want to know."I bit my lip tightly. My lips were trying to hold back tears, but my heart was screaming with

I exclaimed, a wide smile on my face.I wanted to jump for joy when I saw the gray car entering the gate of Altagrasia Mansion. Mamang Olga was the one who opened the gate because she was also excited to welcome Senyorito Darius.To be honest, out of all of Don Enrico's children, Senyorito Darius and Ate Isabella were Mamang Olga's favorites.

Tessa's POVI stood outside Darius's room for a long time, waiting for him to come out. I could hear every word that woman was saying. Her requests, her flirty comments, and her seductive tone - it was like she was talking to a stranger, not a married man.That Martha is using her pregnancy to steal Darius away from me!Finally, the door opened and Darius came out. He was startled when he saw me. I didn't say anything, but I knew my expression was enough to let him know I was angry.He quickly closed the door behind him and took a deep breath. "Tessa...""You can't stay in the same room! I don't want it! I won't allow it!""Shhh." He took my hand. He squeezed it, as if telling me to calm down and not raise my voice because his girlfriend could hear us inside."You belong with me, Darius! Sleep in my room!"I don't care who he loves, me or his mistress, but we're married and he agreed to try, so no other woman can take him from me!He took a deep breath and slowly nodded. "I was going

Tessa's POVDarius left and went into his room to get things ready for Martha. I was left standing there, my chest burning with anger at that awful mistress of his."He's going to let that woman sleep in his room, while I'm stuck in the guest room?"I was so angry that I rushed to the door and went outside. I searched the whole house for Martha. I found her in the living room, sitting on the big sofa, looking completely relaxed as she sipped her juice.My nostrils flared as I approached her and deliberately knocked her hand away. The juice she was drinking spilled all over her clothes."My God!" she exclaimed, jumping up.She glared at me, and I met her gaze. She couldn't intimidate me. I've been through a lot!"What's your problem?" she asked, as if she were confused about why I did that to her.She's so brazen! She acts like she hasn't done anything wrong! It's infuriating!"I thought you were rich? Why do you seem so clueless? Can't you see what's happening? Do you have to ask like

Tessa's POVI've been pacing back and forth in front of the door for hours. I'm waiting for Darius to come home, but he's still not here.I already cooked lunch earlier, and now it's dinner time, but he still hasn't returned."He's been gone all day. Why isn't he back yet? What kind of emergency happened? This is so frustrating!"As night fell and he was still not here, I went into the kitchen to reheat the food."What a waste, it's cold now. It would be better if it was freshly cooked."While reheating the food, I kept peeking out the window. I'm worried that Darius might not come home."Is he really that busy at the office that he can't leave even for a little while? He should at least come home for a bit to tell me, so I wouldn't be worrying like this!"I'm so annoyed because I feel like Martha has something to do with this. They just met, and now things have changed."Darius and I are okay. We actually already...you know. But he just saw that woman, and now this is happening."I t
