Tessa

I lay on my bed, surrounded by darkness, my thoughts swirling like a vortex. How did I get here? How did my relationship with Carter grow so big that I fell deeply admire to him? I couldn't fathom the sincerity of my feelings for him.

I thought back to the first time we met, the spark that ignited between us. I remembered the way he smiled, the way his eyes crinkled at the corners. I recalled the laughter, the adventures, the quiet moments we shared.

But now, everything seemed tainted. Jasmine's words echoed in my mind: "Homewrecker." "Shameless."

I felt a pang of guilt, wondering if I was indeed destroying the family. But Carter want me, and I want him too. Was that so wrong? Was that a big deal?

My phone buzzed on the nightstand, Mr. Carter's name flashing on the screen. I ignored it, not ready to face him.

My mother's calls went unanswered too. I couldn't bear to hear her concerns, her worries knowing fully I was the cause of all this.

I tossed and turned, my mind racing.

    Carter I watched Mila leave the house to get some beverages from the store, I felt a mix of relief and anxiety. I had tried to follow her, eager to escape my thoughts and clasp fresh outside the house but she wouldn't heed. I didn't want to argue with her or make it seem like I want to run out of the house with a silly excuse. The door closed behind her, a loud groan escaped my lips, I settled into the couch, surrounded by the silence of the house.Finally, I admitted to myself that Tessa was smart and determined. When she said she didn't want to talk to me, she meant it. Maybe that's the best thing to do now, giving each other space that we both desire. I thought about our conversation earlier, how she'd hung up on me. Her words still lingered in my mind, "I just want to be alone."I sighed, rubbing my temples. I had been so caught up in my feelings that I hadn't considered Tessa's needs.She needed space, and I had to respect that.But it was hard. I missed her already.I missed

    TessaAs I lay in bed, Leah's words echoed in my mind, "Liam's going away to a board conference." It sound more than a good news. I recalled the mix of emotions that crossed Leah's voice when she told me. She was sad to see him go, but also proud of his achievement.But why did I feel relieved?Was it because Liam's absence would mean less drama, less tension?I can go a day without being bothered by him and I can hang out with Leah without a pry eyes, it sound more than a good news. I inhaled loudly, pushing the thoughts aside, focusing on my current state.I felt disgusting, like a mess. Tears had stained my clothes, and my face felt puffy.I needed to clean up and change to something neat and casual. I tossed off the covers and headed to the bathroom.As I turned on the shower, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror.My eyes looked sunken, my skin pale. I sighed, feeling drained. Why did I have to be so complicated? Huh? Just why? I rolled my eyes before stepping into the s

    CarterI stepped away from Mila just in time to see Tessa walk in. Her eyes flicked between me and her mother, and I could tell she was pretending everything was fine. But I knew better; Tessa was putting on a brave face. She was more than hurt in seeing me kiss her mother."Hey, Tessa," I said, trying to sound casual.She didn't respond. Instead, she grabbed some food from the counter and walked past me, her shoulders tense. I felt a knot form in my stomach. I hadn't meant for any of this to happen. It was supposed to be a simple evening, but everything felt off now. I was not expecting to kiss Mila, but I had to, and the fact that Mila initiated it made me not refuse it and went along kissing her. I felt guilty and gnawed at my deepest heart as I watched Tessa take her food without replying to my greeting and go to her room with it, putting on that strong face when I knew that she was hurting deep down in her heart. I had to force myself away from Mila seeing that Tessa walked in an

  • Tangled Desire: My Daddy, My Professor   Chapter 70

    TessaI managed to eat a little after he left my room, but it felt like a chore like when being forced to do a whole lot of laundry. Afterward, I locked my room and lay on my bed, crying silently into my pillow. I felt so lost and confused, and the tears wouldn't stop; they kept on steaming down my cheeks, cascading down and even staining the pillow.The next morning, I woke up feeling heavy and tired. I couldn't face Carter or anyone else, so I slipped out of the house early without saying a word. I didn't want to deal with the awkwardness, the hurt, or the guilt. I needed space.School dragged on. I tried to focus on my classes, but my mind kept drifting back to the night before. Carter's words echoed in my head: "You're important to me." It felt comforting but also made the ache in my chest worse.After school, I spotted Leah in the parking lot. "Hey, want to go to a party?" she asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement."Sure," I said, hoping it would help me forget everything, at

    TessaI didn't see Carter at all that morning. It was like he had vanished into thin air. I felt a strange mix of relief and disappointment. Part of me was grateful for the space, but I couldn't shake off the nagging feeling in my chest.I could not help but wonder if he decided to stay away from me because of what happened the previous night. Could he have decided he was tired of my attitude, or could he still be angry at seeing me in a club nearly taken out by a guy other than him? Or could he be mad that I went off to sleep as soon as we got home and after the make-out in his car? I didn't even spare him a chance to talk to me about Mom's incident; I just locked him off and slept.Even when I got to school, there were no traces of him; it was as if his presence somehow got cloaked out, and he suddenly became invisible to my eyes; I didn't see him anywhere around the school.I found Leah chatting with some friends. As I approached her, she noticed me and broke into a smile. "Hey, T

    TessaI was lying down gently on the bed when I suddenly heard the creak of the door. It was Mum, walking inside the room. I'm still awkward around her because of the scene I witnessed last time; I don't want to talk to her."Daughter," she called, stepping inside the room, "Can you get me some groceries to prepare dinner at the nearest store?" She asked, but I didn't give her a reply."I'm asking you a question," she stated after a long quiet moment between us."You can go by yourself; I'm not in the mood to step out," I replied without looking at her. I knew she'd be surprised."Are you saying no to me now?" she asked, and that made me feel bad for a second."I don't mean it that way; I just want to be alone," I replied, not giving her my attention."That's the same as saying no to me, Tessa," she said, her voice cold, making me feel more bad for saying no to her, she have way of manipulating me."You have your way of gaslighting people," I stood up from the bed, walking toward her.

    TessaI paced around the living room, raking my fingers through my hair in frustration at the shocking announcement my mother dropped. I didn't know whether I should shout at the top of my lungs or leave the house completely. I stopped my movement and spared the woman sitting in front of me, hands resting on her lap, a glance. "You're kidding, right, Mom?" I asked.When she lifted her head to look at me, the expression I saw on her face said it all, but I didn't want to believe it. To believe that my mother was getting married again—or should I say she had gotten married again. "I'm serious, Tessa."A chuckle escaped me and I nodded. "Right." I closed my eyes and opened them again. "And you think you made the right choice by not discussing it with your daughter first?" I said in a low voice, my eyes not wavering from hers.She rose to her feet, her tall frame intimidating mine. My mother had the body of a model. Slim, tall, and beautiful. She had natural skin that sometimes people mis

    Tessa"Good morning, Mila," Mr. Carter pecked my mom on her cheeks. My body went rigid when he did the same to me. His lips lingered there. "Morning, Tessa," he said, pulling away."Morning, Sir," I forced out a smile and spoke. He sat in between me and Mom."I figured out you don't have a maid, so I managed to make something out of the groceries I could find in the kitchen," Mom explained. I woke up and found her putting wet and dry ingredients together. I also didn't fail to notice how clean the house was compared to when we came yesterday."How sweet of you, Mila. Thank you. The last one left so I'm still searching for a new one," he said, taking a bite of the pancake."You don't have to worry about me doing all the work, Carter. We're family now." I wanted to roll my eyes at her statement. She had already started succumbing to wife duties. She didn't even consider whether I was okay with it or not."I'm glad you're here with me." I could swear my heart almost bulged out when he r

    CarterImmediately I stepped into the house, I could sense the tension in the air. Mila was sitting on the couch, her eyes fixed on the TV, but her expression told a different story. She looked moody and worried, her brow furrowed, and her lips pursed. Something must have happened while I was away, but what? Hopefully, it wasn't what I was thinking."Mila," I called, her attention shifted to me, a smile tugged at the corner of her lips but I know it was fake. I inhaled and walk closer to her. "What's wrong?" I asked, sitting down beside her.She sighed heavily, turning to look at me. "I walked in on Tessa and Jasmine arguing earlier," she explained, her voice laced with concern.My heart skipped a beat; I knew this would happen but not too soon."What happened?" I asked, trying to sound nonchalant and pretending I have no idea."I don't know," Mila replied. "Tessa wouldn't tell me what was wrong. She just rushed to her room and locked herself in."I felt a pang of guilt, knowing I

    TessaI blinked my eyes repeatedly, trying hard to play it cool and not look suspicious. I turned to face my room, but I heard Jasmine scoff, her voice dripping with disdain and disgust.I just returned home to find her around. Two of us in the house. Things might be a bit uncomfortable."What's wrong with her?" I thought to myself, feeling a surge of anxiety.I turned back, only to find her eyes glaring at me dangerously, her pupils constricting with anger. I swallowed hard, my thoughts racing wildly inside me."See who we have here," she smile like a witch, her voice echoing "Sleeping with someone who's old enough to be her father," she added, her gaze returning to her phone for a second before ravaging me with her eyes.She dropped her phone, counting her steps closer to me, her heels clicking on the floor. My eyes followed her every step, my heart pounding with anticipation."Don't your parents teach you lessons on how not to hook up with a man that's old enough to be your father?
