TESSA’S POV

“ How sure are you about that? Huh “ Kace asked me and I swallowed hard. I didn't have the courage to look him in the eye anymore because I was afraid that if I did I would change my mind.

“ Please don't make this more difficult than it already is for me, Kace. This was an arranged marriage so it wouldn't be difficult to find another person who you would love and get married to because you want to and not because they forced you to “ I tried to explain to Kace but he wasn't agreeing with anything I said.

I turned to talk to Brandon to help me explain to Kace but then I found out that he was no longer in the office. I guess Kace and I were so engrossed in our argument that we didn't notice Brandon leave the office.

“ How can you even say this Tess? So our love means nothing to you? What we have shared since we got married isn't really for you. Well it is real for me and I’ll be damned if I let you go “ Kace said with a pained expression on his face.

    TESSA’S POV“ Brandon was involved in a fatal car accident while returning from work “ Eliana informed me and I gasped with all the sleepiness I was feeling disappearing. How on earth did this happen?“ Which hospital is he in? “ I asked as I rushed out of my room not even minding my disheveled hair.“ Come with me I'm heading there right away, “ She said and we rushed to her car while I used my hand to straighten my hair.Why would Brandon be involved in an accident at this crucial period when we need him the most? I knew I wasn't being unfair by thinking of his use instead of thinking about his safety and health.Eliana drove out of the mansion at high speed and unlike every other day that I always complained about reckless driving I didn't even mind. In fact, if there was a way that she could increase her speed I would have appreciated that.Why was all this happening to me? Is it that I wasn't born to have peace and a normal life?

She's like a drug I'm addicted to, I always loved seeing her smile.Whenever I wasn't with her I always anticipated going home to be with her. I always craved her warmth. I always wanted to be around and now she wanted to leave me?I tried to plead with her but she didn't even spare me a second glance.

    TESSA’S POV“ Brandon you have done a lot and we appreciate it but I would like you to stop everything now that it is early because I think you are in danger, “ I said to him with a serious look on my face.But Brandon looked displeased with what I said because he looked at me with a frown visible on his face.“ No, I won't stop. Rather this would motivate me to find the motherfucker who did this. Don't try to talk me out of this because you can't. Firstly, because I always finish what I start and secondly because that motherfucker tried to kill me “ He said through gritted teeth.I wouldn't lie, part of me was glad that he didn't want to back out of helping us. So I nodded my head in understanding.“ But!! “ He said and I looked up at him again waiting eagerly to hear what the ‘ But ‘ was about.

He looked surprised to see me but I on the other hand looked at him warily.It seemed suspicious that his daughter was on her way here and he happened to be in the same place too. Or was it just a coincidence?Kace looked clueless, I guess he didn't recognize Bianca’s dad. To be sincere if not that I knew him since he worked for my dad I wouldn't have recognized him too because he looked uglier in reality.“ Tessa!! How nice to see you again!! “ He exclaimed with an elated look on his face. “ Mr Baker. Fancy meeting you here. It's been a long time since we set our eyes on you. You didn't even attend my Dad’s funeral. Where have you been?! “ I asked, faking a look of concern on my face.Hearing me saying this I knew through the look on Kace's face that he had gotten a hint that this

He let out a loud moan and hearing him moan aroused me more which made me immediately take his big dick into my mouth.At that same moment, I felt his mouth on my clit with his hand grabbing my ass and slightly parting them. It was easier since his ass was just a few inches from his face.He sucked and flickered his tongue on my clit, making the built-up pleasure intensify.

    KACE’S POV“ That’s because we’ll be transferring him to a place where no one besides you, Vincent, Eliana, and I would know about and be able to access, “ I said and Tess nodded in understanding. Maybe it's because we discussed this earlier. I was highly pissed off when I came into the hospital and saw Brandon in a vegetative state. Why was everything going badly? So far nothing was going on as planned.After having the best moment of my life with Tessa. I thought we would have a good night's rest and cuddle ourselves to sleep before tomorrow when we will continue our search but no, it got disrupted by Eliana’s call.When will all this come to an end?

    TESSA’S POV“ Argh! Doctor Vincent, stop scaring them or they might be the ones who would end up dying from a panic attack “ I heard Brandon's voice say weakly.I turned to look at Kace and Eliana wondering if they heard what I heard too because I thought it just was Brandon's voice in my head talking.But when I looked at them I saw them looking at me with creased brows too. Kace lightly pushed Doctor out of the way so we could get a better view of Brandon to see if he was the one that had just spoken.Lo and Behold!! We saw Brandon trying to get into a sitting position on the bed. Eliana quickly rushed to help him. The most surprising thing was that he was smiling.Is this how someone who just got out of a comma behaves?Because I have watched movies and read books that portrayed an individual who gets out of a coma as usually weak, sometimes unable to move and talk for a short time after he or she wakes.So why wasn't Brandon showing any of these symptoms? “ What's going on here?

I quickly parked my car and went into my house, heading upstairs straight.When I got to the front of my bedroom door, I paused and let out a sharp exhale before turning the doorknob of the bedroom door and going in. Hardly had I closed the door when Tessa ran and crushed me in a bear hug.I hugged her back as the scent of her shampoo graced my nose, it was soothing and made me realize how much I was scared if she didn't remember anything.The thought she was carrying my child too made me nervous and glad at the same time.

I pulled up into Vin’s parking space after twenty minutes and rang the doorbell. The door opened immediately as though the person had been standing at the door and waiting for me.“ What's up? How is Tess doing?
