TESSA’S POV“ I want you Tess, I want all of you!! “ Kace said as he stood up with his eyes never leaving mine.Hearing Kace say this added to the pleasure that had built within me. His erection was visible even though he was still putting on his suit and my mouth watered when I noticed this.“ I thought you were diagnosed with erectile dysfunction? Then how come is your big man here standing so well “ I asked seductively as I massaged his dick with my hands and that made him tilt his head backward as he moaned softly.But when he raised his head, I could see that his eyes darkened with lust as he said “ A dick would always stand when it sees its owner and you are now its owner, it's all your Tess “ he said and I smirked as I stood up and claimed his lips.At first, the kiss was slow and passionate but then it became more demanding as we kissed, our tongues tangling savoring each taste and he cupped my breasts in his hands as he fiddled with them.I felt my knees go weak. I gave in as

TESSA’S POV“ Good evening Mrs. Rachael “ I greeted her with a smile on my face, despite knowing she wouldn't answer me as I expected. But before she could answer any of us, we heard screams from upstairs and rushed there to see what was happening.Getting there we saw Triss on the floor with blood flowing down from between her legs and Drake trying to wake his wife up.“ What happened to her, “ My mother in law asked as she knelt to hold Triss who was passed out on the floor. “ I don't know Mom, we were on our way coming down for dinner after Nanny informed us that you requested we all have dinner together. But when we reached here, she began to scream in pain and when she saw blood coming down from between her legs she passed out “ Drake said in a panic.“ Don't just stand, help me let's take her to the car “ Drake yelled at his brother Kace, but when Kace reached out to help Drake, the security men came and helped carry Triss to the car.

TESSA’S POV“ I'm sorry she lost the baby, but she is fine and would need a lot of rest. No one should disturb her please, you can wait for her to awake “ Doctor Vincent said and walked to his office, leaving us alone.“ My grandchild is gone!! What would we tell her parents if they hear she is in the hospital? “ My mother-in-law said sobbing.I was surprised to hear the doctor say Triss lost her baby because honestly speaking I didn't believe she was ever pregnant. I thought it was a ploy by her so she could get married into the Crawford family.Hearing this saddened my heart even though she offended me. I could only imagine how she was feeling at that moment. It isn't an easy thing for a woman to experience a miscarriage.“ Calm down Rachael this isn't the end, she can get pregnant again and Tess here will give us grandchildren too, you see!! “ My father in law said, trying to calm his wife down.“ How do you even know Tess is Fertile, if not she ought to have been pregnant by now c

TESSA’S POV“ What’s going on here? Did she just call you love? “ I asked Kace as I immediately pulled away from his hug. I looked at both of them, the lady especially and she just ignored me like I wasn’t there.“ Babe this is Caroline my ex, “ Kace said with a smile acting like there wasn’t any big deal with how she just reacted.“ Caroline this is my wife, Tessa, the one I told you about “ He turned to her and said. The lady's expression turned to that of relief when Kace told her I am his wife.“ Nice to meet you, Tessa, Kace has told me a lot about you whenever we talk, “ She said with a smile. I wasn’t sure if the smiles she had been giving me were real or fake.So Kace was still keeping in touch with his ex?, I thought to myself and frowned. Was he acting normal about this so that I wouldn’t suspect and think there is nothing?“ Thanks “ I replied to the lady with a glare and she noticed that I wasn’t interested in talking to her. “ Babe stop it, act nice! “ he said.“ No, it’

TESSA’S POV“ Oh I forgot!! “ he suddenly exclaimed and reached out to open the storage compartment in the car. I wondered what he wanted to bring out.He brought out a Samsung tablet and handed it over to me. He focused back on driving without saying anything to me.“ Are you gonna tell me why you gave me this tablet? “ I asked him.“ Unlock it, the pictures of the house you will select from are in there Tess, “ he said it like I had some magical powers for me to know that was the reason he gave it to me even.I rolled my eyes at him. I don’t know if he saw it but whether he saw me do that or not, I didn’t know for sure because he never commented about it.“ I’m I a magician to know your password? “ I asked him wondering if he hit his head somewhere for him to be behaving this way.“ It’s your birthday Tess, “ He said again as if I was supposed to know and I could have sworn I saw a blush on his face. Was he shy? Why? I still didn’t understand what he meant by saying it was my birthd

TESSA’S POV“ Come to the house now!! “ Mom said alarmingly.But before I could ask what was wrong she ended the call immediately. That made me and Kace jerk up from our bed immediately, clearing all the sleep from our eyes. She sounded like it was urgent.We hurriedly dressed up and went to meet at my family's house. When we arrived I rushed out of the car not even waiting for Kace to open the car door for me.I rushed into our mansion and saw my mom sitting down on the chair in the living room. I paused, confused and looked at my mom because she sat down on the chair smiling broadly at me when she saw me step in.Kace had the same confused look on his face when he came into the house and saw my mom smiling broadly.“ W-What's the meaning of this Mom? You sounded like something was immensely wrong when you called me not long ago “ I asked her “ Good morning Mrs. Adele, “ Kace greeted, still bewildered about the scenario in front of us.“ I'm sorry I had to call you this early.

TESSA’S POV“ I have someone who would stay here with you Mom, “ I said and she looked at me with curiosity evident on her face.“ Who might that be? “ She asked and I dialed a number on my phone. Eliana’s number to be precise.I just felt that Mom needed a distraction from worrying too much. As much as I can remember Eliana was an orphan so doing this might also help her save up some money. I dialed her number and she picked up on the first ring.“ Hey, girl. How are you? Sorry, I haven't been able to call. I have been busy with work and setting up my new coffee shop, "she said.“ It's fine. I didn't know you have started working at the company yet “ I said “ I just started today Tess, “ She replied giggling.“ Alright, have you gotten a nice and comfortable apartment yet? “ I asked her“ Not yet I have been really busy Tess, but I plan on doing so now that I'm settled but I'm thinking it'll just be me. All the money I have with me is almost finished “ She complained.“ Well I have

She wanted to threaten Drake because he said he’ll expose her….. “ I said and trailed off mid-sentence when the next thing we heard was a female voice screaming.It was coming from the direction where the maid, Agent Maynard, and the policemen went.We all went there and saw the maid standing with her hands covering her mouth as she looked into the room with a horrified look on her face. Agent eyes were widened in surprise too.When we got there and I looked inside the room I saw my mother-in-law lying down in her pool of blood. There was a knife covered with blood beside her.I gasped at the sight in front of us. She was stabbed to death. Could it be that she committed suicide? Or someone killed her.

Shit!! let me call you back “ Eliana said and ended the call abruptly.“ What just happened, why did she curse and end the call so abruptly? “ My mother-in-law who I didn’t even know was listening in on our conversation asked me.That was the same question I was asking myself right now. Why did she end the call so abruptly? I was worried and so was Tess and her mom.I dialed Brandon’s number to ask him to track Eliana's phone so that we would know her location and go to check on her because I feared that she was in danger due to the way she ended the call abruptly.“ Hey Brandon, please can you track Eliana’s number? I think she is in danger, we were talking on the phone and she cursed before abruptly ending the call “ I said to him and he chuckled.“ She’s here with me right now. There is no cause fo

Whoever perpetrated the act must have done it last night, " Agent Maynard said.Tessa, who was yawning a few seconds ago and wanted to go back to sleep, was wide awake now with a confused look on her face.“ Who are you guys talking about? “ Tessa asked us.

TESSA’S POVSeeing Kace trying to communicate with his eyes to Agent Maynard and Brandon who just walked into the house with smiles on their faces was funny.I'm pretty sure that he was trying to tell them not to utter a word because Brandon was about to speak.Luckily Agent Maynard understood the message Kace was trying to pass across when he saw Kace's foster mom seated with my mom. He held Brandon’s hand and signaled for him not to talk.I also knew that deep in my mom's heart, if she was given the chance she'll shred my mother-in-law into tiny little pieces. My mom was nice and kind but she was also fierce when necessary.“ Good evening everyone “ Agent Maynard greeted us and we answered with a nod of our heads. I noticed that my mother-in-law looked at Agent Maynard warily.Eliana stood up and kissed Brandon passionately. They were lost in their kiss that I had to clear my throat before they pulled away from each other. Brandon sat down with Eliana while I sat with Kace. Agent Ma

KACE’S POVI drove home as my heart leaped for joy knowing that Tess had regained her memory. That means we would be able to know what happened before she had the accident. Argh, I couldn’t wait to see her.It took me just twenty minutes to drive to my house. My gatekeeper opened the gate for me and I drove in. 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. What would be her reaction if I told her? I thought to myself but pushed the thought aside.We pulled away from each and shared a passionate kiss. It was sho

KACE’S POVIt was high time we put an end to all these things happening to us once and for all because I knew without any doubt, that all these things happening were connected to one person and so help me God the day we catch the person behind all this, I’ll kill that person myself, I thought to myself and stepped on the accelerator angrily, zooming off to Vin’s place. 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? Any good news regarding her health? “ Brandon asked immediately after I got into the house.It was noon and really sunny outside, so when I got into the house, I loved it when the cold emitting from the air conditioning in the house touched my skin. It felt refreshing.“ I don't know man, “ I said and slumped on the couch in Vin’s sitting room tiredly. It was only at this moment that I knew how exhausted I was.
THE ARRANGED BRIDE CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED-ONE
TESSA’S POVI woke up and found myself in a strange environment. I saw two people standing not far away from my bed and they seemed like they were having a heated conversation. The man with striking brown eyes rushed to me and called me babe when he saw that I was awake.Babe? Isn't that the pet name that lovers called themselves? So why was he calling me that? I frowned because I didn't remember knowing this man. So I asked who he was and he looked at me, surprised at the question I just asked.An elderly woman and a young lady around my age rushed into the room and they called me, Tessa. The woman said she was my mom but I couldn't remember anything.I was frustrated but didn't show it, these people seemed very worried and I felt venting my frustration would make them worry more.I told the handsome man with striking blue eyes and jet black hair that I didn't know him and also the woman. Although I tried my best to be polite to them.My mind and head were a mess, I was trying hard t
