Tessa's Pov."Okay Tes. Why is everywhere dark?"

They've probably closed," Mara countered but before she could say another one, everywhere lights up.Dylan is in the spotlight, he's kneeling with one leg, and holding a red box.Mara's eyes are wide open, she turns and gave me a sharp but excited look.

Tessa walked through the hallway of the Winston mansion, still in awe of how a house could be this beautiful. It looked like heaven, she had only heard about how beautiful the villa was. But seeing it today indeed confirmed it. Her grandmother, Mrs. Taylor worked for the Winstons as a gardener for so many years. She has always wanted to follow her to work but her grandmother always declined saying the Winstons can be a handful and she doesn't want her precious granddaughter to be humiliated. The Winstons are the most popular and the wealthiest family in the city. They controlled half of the city and their powerful aura was undeniable. A smile suddenly crossed Tessa's face as she remembered Aaron Winston, the only son of the Winstons, she hadn't met him but she always saw him on television.

Tessa rolled her eyes at him, not sure if she heard him correctly. She had always loved him since forever but presenting her as a bride to his mother out of the blues did not make sense to her. This had better be a joke, she thought to herself Her mother stood up from her chair and approached Tessa, trailing her eyes at her body as if she was filled with filth. Tessa's clothes were stitched at the edges and merely looking at her one could tell she was from a poor background. Mrs. Winston let go of her gaze and stepped back to her chair saying, "She's such a pretty girl. Aside from her horrible choice of clothes, which is not a problem. We can fix that up. She's perfect for the job," A smile suddenly crossed her face and she relaxed back in her chair.Tessa chuckled inwardly, she gazed at them as if she was lost and what they were saying held no meaning. She managed to snap out of her trance and fired back at them"This is some sort of joke. Right?"Aaron shot her a deadly look. She m

Tessa walked into their apartment with mixed feelings. It was just a two-bedroom flat and they were just doing fine with the little they had. Tessa couldn't possibly say her day went well but she was glad she met Aaron. Even though their meeting didn't turn out well, she still couldn't get over his cerulean blue eyes, he kind of looked cute when he was angry."No! Tessa, you can't possibly be drawn to that arrogant man" she could hear her inner mind yell at her, but No! She couldn't help it, she seemed to feel something deeper than she could explain.Tessa quietly tiptoed into the bedroom, not wanting to wake her grandmother up, she had enough already in one day. And knowing how inquisitive her grandmother can be, she was definitely going to find out that something was off about her. However, she was not going to hide the situation from her for too long. One way or the other she was still going to find out."You're back?" her grandmother's voice rang in the room. Her heart almost jump

"l have to be on my way now. I need to give my boss my resignation letter," Tessa said, bringing out the letter from her bag. She had worked in the convenience store for the past six months. The pay was not that enticing but it helped take care of some of their bills."Working for the Winstons meant getting a fat paycheck. But the money came at a cost - having to deal with their demanding and often unreasonable requests. The Winstons were known for being difficult to work for, and the high pay was meant to compensate for the stress and trouble they caused. But when Tessa got to meet Mrs. Winston, Aaron's mother, her initial narrative about her changed. She just saw a sweet loving soul, though putting out a tough side of her to people but deep down she was kind at heart."Alright hurry up, so you can park up. I have a feeling that Aaron Winston won't take no for an answer," her grandmother said teasinglyMaya chuckled at her grandma's obvious joke and let out"Bye grandma. See you soon"

"Are you sure Lisa is actually missing or she doesn't want to be married to you?" Dylan asked.Aaron clenched his fist in anger and glared at him "What do you mean she doesn't want to be married to me? You know how much Lisa loves me and she doesn't have any reason not to want to be married to me. She might actually be in trouble or even worse kidnapped, have you thought about that?" Aaron pointed out, anger and frustration evident in his voice. "Ohhh true, but what if she isn't? Moreover, have you sent your men to investigate this and probably look for her?" Dylan asked, keeping an expressionless face.Dylan Thompson was Aaron's childhood friend, he never liked Lisa for Aaron. But Aaron was too blindly in love with her to even notice how much of a snitch she was.She was clearly with Aaron because of his money and that's it. He had seen Lisa with different men on different occasions but somehow she manages to escape being caught. The last time he tried to tell Aaron about it, Aaron

Aaron's Pov Lisa's eyes glint with a disturbing calm. "Dylan, of course you don't know that. I saved Aaron that day and he knows," her voice is firm but lacks its usual confidence.Dylan scoffs. "Oh, stop with the lies, Lisa. You're nothing but a two timing manipulative liar,"Okay now, I'm taken aback by Dylan's words. I knew he never liked Lisa and never shied away from saying it but this is new, what is he driving at?Lisa's face contorts with rage, her composure shattering like glass. "You never liked me, of course you'd say anything to downgrade me," she taunted.Dylan turns to me. "Your accident was all staged by this bitch, then she swobs in and saves the day, making it look like she saved your life. I try to tell you but you wouldn't listen," Dylan said, his words clear and direct.I'm really confused. Lisa lied about saving me, all for what?My whole body explodes on the inside, hearing Dylan's revelation, my mind actually can't calculate this.Lisa staged an accident, this

Aaron's Pov.After I got Lisa's message, threatening to hurt Tessa and my kids if I don't agree to meet up.I knew that was the last straw.I might've ignored these signs in the past because I respected what we use to share.But one thing I can't take from her it's threatening my family.I need to put a stop to her madness. Damn what use to be.I had invited her over, trying to play her little games. I involved everyone, including Tessa and thankfully she didn't decline.I watched Lisa walk into my living room, on a black hoodie, and a shade, looking like she's on the run, a forced smile on her face. "Aaron!" She exclaimed dramatically, taking a seat beside me.Her face falls flat as she didn't get the reaction she expected. She looks at me, waiting for me to speak up.Wanting to play her little tricks, I managed a smile. "So, how's life treating you, Lisa," I ask, my tone more skeptical than genuine.She got the hint."Oh, please. Don't act like you care," she said defiantly.I smirk

Tessa's Pov Aaron hugged me tightly, his hand trailed my hair, stroking them softly.I bury my face in his chest, letting the tears flow. The shock, the anxiety, the weight of Alexander's confession– it all comes pouring out."Everything is going to be fine, I assure you," he whispered into my ears.His words are soothing, making my nerves calm a little, but the shock is still there, bubbling under the surface.But for the first time in a long time I want to believe that everything will be fine.Still in Aaron's arms, my mind raced.Why does he have to smell and feel so good?After a moment, I pulled back and wipe my eyes. Being this close with him it's too dangerous with my feelings for him.I looked at him for a while, his eyes are soft and filled with understanding. My expression faltered. Suddenly I felt the need to apologize to Aaron, for refusing to listen and being so stubborn.I can't even begin to imagine what my stubborness would have caused me. My kid's safety!I didn't kn

Quickly he raises his hand, telling his secretary it was okay and she could leave.As his secretary left, he steps in immediately, beating me to it. "Tes, I wasn't expecting you,"I arched my eyebrows at him. "The night you came to my house. Didn't you say you left almost immediately?" I queried, my patience wearing thin.He gulped hard and then his expression gave him away."You perv! How didn't I see through you?" I groaned frustratingly. "How could you do such a thing?"

Tessa's Pov."Tessa!" I heard my name and I turned to see who was calling.The face clicks. Vanessa, Aaron's sister.I've seen her a couple of times on video calls but trust me, she looked way prettier in person, she's just a female version of Aaron.A man walked behind her as she approached me, I figured out that was her husband, he looked calm and gentle.I didn't know how to react at first, especially when I shut her out too. I've been meaning to reach out to her one of these days but I guess fate beat me to it."Vanessa," I called out as my face lights up a little and then it falters as guilt crept in.Vanessa notices and nudges my shoulder. "Hey, it's fine, trust me I understand," she assured.Quickly she turned, facing the tall man behind her, her eyes sparkling. "This is Dante, my husband," she introduced.Turning to me, she added. "This is Tessa, Uhmm, Aaron's wife—-," she stuttered but quickly she rephrase her sentence. "Tessa, the twin's Mom," she concluded sharply.Dante no
