The CEO's Amazing Ex-Wife Is Back! Chapter 8
He was still staring at her.Tessa didn’t even have to look to know it. Gendry wasn’t even trying to be subtle about it. He was staring at her openly and shamelessly, as if daring her to acknowledge him.Well, she refused to.If he thought he could rattle her with his staring, he was dead wrong. She wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction of looking his way.A shoulder nudged her gently on the side, making her blink and breaking her out of her thoughts.“Tessa,” Kevin murmured, leaning in slightly. “Were you listening?”Tessa turned to him quickly, pasting on a bright smile. “Of course. Go on.”Kevin grinned, taking her response as encouragement, and continued with his joke. She didn’t actually catch most of it. It was something about a bartender, a confused monkey, and a very unfortunate misunderstanding, but when he delivered the punchline, the ladies around them burst into laughter.Tessa threw her head back and laughed too, a little louder than necessary.The sound felt fake to

The two of them stared at each other in stony silence while everyone watched on expectantly.“Uh… can we continue the game now?” someone finally broke the silence, looking at Tessa. “Tessa, it's your turn to spin the bottle.”Tessa blinked, snapping back to the game. Without a word, she got up and walked to the middle. Grabbing the empty bottle, she gave it a spin. It spun for a few seconds before finally stopping, pointing at Kevin.A grin spread across Kevin's lips. “Well, well, are you not going to ask me the magic question?”Tessa forced a smile. “Truth or challenge?”“Challenge,” he answered immediately, without hesitation.Tessa had been expecting him to give that answer, wondering what was going through his mind. She wasn’t exactly interested in the game, especially with so many people around, so she couldn’t think of any dares to give him.One of Maya’s female cousins groaned. “Ugh, Tessa, just pick something already!”Kevin winked, leaning forward slightly. “Don’t worry, you

Tessa hesitated. Gendry’s hand remained outstretched, waiting.A part of her wanted to reject it, to sit back and refuse to play along with whatever game this was. But she couldn’t. Everyone was watching and waiting. Besides, if she backed down now, she knew Gendry would use that to mock her.So, with a quiet breath, she placed her hand in his.The moment their skin made contact, she felt it—an electric zap shooting up her arm.It was the same sensation she felt the day he kissed her years ago after asking her to be his prom date.Tessa's grip tightened in his for a second, then she gritted her teeth and looked away. That was years ago when she’d been a naive, stupid teenager. It didn’t mean anything now.Gendry’s fingers curled around hers as he helped her to her feet.“Alright, lovebirds!” Maya clapped her hands together, grinning. “Go stand over there at the entrance so we all have a clear view of the show.”Tessa’s head snapped toward her friend, a glare already forming. She didn’

“After leaving me looking like a fool, you told your friends that you only asked me to prom so you could humiliate me and show me that I wasn’t as 'special' as I thought. I heard everything!”Tessa’s words hung between them like a cloud.Shock flickered across Gendry’s face, his usual composure breaking for the first time that night. His mouth opened slightly, as if to say something, but no words came.Tessa stared at him, her heart pounding against her ribs. Somehow, she wanted him to deny it, to tell her she was wrong or that there was another explanation, even though she knew there wasn’t. But the silence stretched, and with every second, her chest tightened even further.A bitter snort escaped her. “Nothing to say now?” she asked, her voice sharp, yet barely above a whisper.Gendry parted his lips again, but before he could speak, a voice from the group called out teasingly, “The song’s over, guys… unless you plan on dancing all night?”Tessa’s body jolted as if woken from a spel

Tessa should have walked away. She should have ignored him like she’d planned. But Gendry’s words latched onto something deep inside her, twisting it like a knife.She turned sharply, her eyes blazing. "Really?" She scoffed. "Then why did you do it? Because you thought it would be fun to humiliate and make me look like a fool in front of everyone for no reason?"Gendry raised an incredulous brow. "For no reason?" He met her glare, his jaw tightening."Why?" Tessa pressed, stepping closer, her anger outweighing her better judgment. "Why did you ask me to prom? Why did you tell me you had a crush on me? Why did you say all those lovely things about me if you didn’t mean any of it?" Her voice wavered slightly, but she powered on. "You turned me into a laughingstock, Gendry. In front of the whole damn school. Why would you do that if you didn't mean it?”Taking in the fury burning on Tessa's face, Gendry was almost taken aback. He still remembers that night like it was yesterday.After s

Tessa’s grip on the water bottle slipped the second Gendry’s lips crashed against hers. The plastic container hit the floor with a dull thud, but she barely registered it. Her hands flew to his chest, fingers pressing against the hard planes, her body stiff as shock bolted through her. She should have pushed him away. She needed to push him away. But she didn’t. Her lips betrayed her, moving against his as if they had been waiting for this moment. Heat erupted between them, different from anything she had ever felt before. Gendry groaned against her mouth as he brushed his tongue along her lower lip, and without thinking, she parted her lips for him. The instant their tongues tangled, a shiver raced down her spine. The taste of orange juice lingered on his tongue, tangy and intoxicating, and for a fleeting second, she let herself get lost in him. Then reality slammed back into her. With a sharp gasp, Tessa wrenched herself away and, without hesitation, swung her hand at his

Sleep had been of no help.In the middle of the night, Tessa awoke to an ache so excruciating inside her core that she was almost sweating.She was no expert at this, but she didn't need to be told to know that she was horny.She was horny and it was just because she still had never done it before and her body always found a way to remind her of that.It most certainly had nothing whatsoever to do with Gendry Graham.At first she tried to ignore that ache but it simply refused to go away. Biting her lip, he allowed her hand to travel down her body, settling it between her thighs.And for the next ten minutes, she tried to pleasure herself to relieve the ache.Tried.“Oh, fucking hell." Tessa cursed as she threw her hands up in the air. For some reason, she'd never been able to successfully pleasure herself before and today was no exception.Closing her eyes, she forced herself to go back to sleep, ignoring the ache that was still inside her core.༺❀༻༺❀༻༺❀༻The next morning, Maya had p

“And does that bother you?” Kevin was staring at her pointedly, waiting for an answer.“Of course not,” Tessa answered, hoping her face was just as neutral as she was trying to keep it. “Why would it bother me?”Kevin studied her for a second before chuckling. “You’re right. That would be weird.”Tessa forced a chuckle too, but guilt burned inside her chest. She wasn’t sure why she felt guilty, but it was there, and it was just ridiculous.She shook it off and focused on enjoying Kevin's company.Half way through the day, Maya came looking for her.“Ah, there you are.” she said. “Come on, let's go play volleyball together.”The game was already in progress, and Maya wasted no time making her and Tessa a team.They played against two other girls, and to Tessa’s surprise, while it had been a long time since she last played, she and Maya still managed to win multiple rounds against the girls.Then, just as they were celebrating another win, Maya suddenly clapped her hands together.“Hey

Tessa stood frozen for several seconds before her hands flew to her mouth in shock. “Oh my God…” she whispered. She didn't even have to ask if he was sure because she could tell he was. Guilt clawed at her chest. Alex had told her before how most of the women who came onto him were only after his wealth which was also part of the reason he'd always been so careful about dating. And now it seemed he had been proven right. Tessa felt like it was her fault because she was the one who had set Alex on that blind date with Hillary. “Alex,” she whispered. “I’m so sorry. I had no idea she was that kind of woman.” He shook his head. “It’s okay,” he said, his voice calmer, his expression blank. “You were just trying to look out for me. But don’t do it again, Tessa.” There was no anger in his tone toward her, but she could sense the bitterness. Tessa swallowed hard, guilt still pressing down on her. She watched as Alex turned toward one of the cabinets, moving like he already knew exactl

After breakfast, the whole family moved to the shores to enjoy the beach. the whole family moved to the beach where a variety of games and fun had been set up.Tessa took a deep breath, feeling at peace.But peace never really lasted long when when her mischievous twins were around.The four-year-olds were balls of energy, running up and down the sandy shore, splashing water at people, and playfully disturbing anyone who looked too relaxed.“Girls!” Tessa called after them as they ran past, giggling. “Don’t bother grandpa Zeke!”Too late.Zeke had been lying on a lounger, sunglasses on, probably dozing off, until a handful of sand landed on his chest.His head snapped up. “Hey!”The twins burst into laughter and ran away before he could catch them.Gendry, sitting next to Tessa, shook his head. “Your daughters indeed.”Tessa turned to him with a dry look. “Excuse me?”“The mischief? That’s all you. I'm sure that's exactly how you were at their age.”She huffed, crossing her arms. “And

FIVE YEARS LATERThe morning sun peeked through the white curtains, casting golden light across the bedroom. Tessa stirred, instantly feeling the warmth pressed against her back, a familiar arm draped over her waist. A smile crept onto her lips as she blinked sleepily.She didn't have to turn around to know Gendry was awake. His slow, steady breaths against the nape of her neck gave him away.A soft kiss landed on her bare shoulder."Happy anniversary, Mrs. Graham," he murmured, his voice husky from sleep.Tessa hummed, pressing back against him. "Happy anniversary, Mr. Graham."Gendry tightened his hold on her, rolling her onto her back so he could hover over her. The intense look in his dark eyes sent a familiar shiver down her spine."Last night wasn't enough," he whispered, running his fingers down her side. "I need more."Tessa let out a soft laugh. "Didn't we exhaust ourselves already?"His lips brushed against her neck. "Not even close."They made love again, slow and deep, as

Tessa’s heart thudded as her father stared at Gendry, his brows furrowing deeper by the second. "Of course I figured that out already." her father finally scoffed, shaking his head. "It's just... Tessa is two months pregnant. Two months. I—" He blinked rapidly as the realization dawned. "Unless..." Tessa took pity on him. She sighed and decided to just put him out of his confusion. "Dad," she said carefully, "there was… something between Gendry and me. When we were in Jamaica." Her father's frown only deepened. "I don’t understand. Since we left Jamaica, I haven’t seen you two together until yesterday. How could there be something between you when–” Beside him, Thalassa let out a small chuckle and placed a hand on his chest. "Leave them alone, Kris," she said, eyes twinkling with amusement. Kris turned to her, narrowing his eyes. "You don’t seem surprised." Thalassa shrugged. Kris’s jaw dropped. "Lassa. You knew?" She gave him an innocent look. "I had my suspicions." "And yo

All eyes turned towards Tessa and Gendry as they entered. In the living room were her parents, Alex, Rita, Maya, Jace, Aunt Luisa, Uncle Alden, and their youngest 17 years old daughter, Tessa's cousin, Emma.The moment Rita spotted Gendry, she gasped. "Gendry!" she squealed, jumping up from her seat and rushing toward him.Gendry barely had time to react before Rita crashed into him. He let out a soft chuckle, crouching slightly to meet her height as he ran a hand through her hair.“Missed me that much, huh?” he teased, the corner of his lips lifting in amusement.Rita huffed and pulled back, immediately smoothing down her hair. “You're ruining my hair,” she grumbled, glaring up at him.“My bad,” Gendry said, his voice dripping with fake remorse. His amused gaze flicked toward the others, and laughter rippled through the room, even from Alex.Despite the lighthearted moment, Tessa caught the curious look in her father’s eyes. There were unspoken questions swimming in his gaze.“Good e

“Marry me, Tessa.”Tessa stared at him, her lips parting as she tried to process what he had just said. Her voice came out in a breathless whisper. “What?”Gendry didn’t hesitate. He looked straight into her eyes, his expression open and sure. “Marry me, Tessa.”She felt like her heart had stopped. Her mind raced, but no coherent thoughts came. “You—” She swallowed, utterly flustered.Gendry chuckled at her shock, rolling onto his side so that he was partially on top of her. His fingers traced lazy circles on her arm, his touch soothing.“Hear me out,” he murmured. “I know it sounds crazy. Maybe it is. But I’ve never been so sure of anything in my life.”Tessa’s breath hitched, her pulse drumming in her ears.“We just made things official, like, yesterday,” he admitted, his lips curving into a small, sheepish smile. “But it doesn’t feel new, does it? It feels like I’ve known you forever. We’ve been through so much. Hell, even we were against each other at some point. And yet, here we

“Don’t worry. You’re not the first couple to ask that, and you definitely won’t be the last.” The doctor said with a teasing note in her voice.She pulled out a disposable wipe and began wiping the gel from Tessa's belly. Tessa sighed in relief.“That should be all for today,” The doctor said warmly. “As I said, for the first few months, it would be best to be checked monthly, so please when you're ready, let me know when to schedule the next appointment.”She began rearranging the equipment. “Please wait outside for a few minutes. Your ultrasound pictures and the recording will be ready soon to take with you..” Gendry helped Tessa sit up and adjust her clothes before they stepped out. They waited in the reception area, their happiness and excitement tangible. Ten minutes later, a nurse handed over the envelope containing the picture and the USB. Gendry took it as if it was the most precious thing in the world. They made their way out of the hospital and back to Gendry's car. Aft

In the afternoon, when it was a couple of minutes to get an appointment, Gendry arrived a few minutes earlier than he promised to pick her up.Gendry leaned against the doorframe, looking relaxed yet effortlessly gorgeous in his button down shirt. His eyes swept over her in that way that always made her feel like the only woman in the world. "You're early," she teased, walking toward him. He beamed. “I'll always be early for you, princes.” Her heart did a little flip at that, but she rolled her eyes to keep her cool. "Such a smooth talker." He grinned and reached for her, pulling her close and covering her lips with his. When they finally broke the kiss, he took her hand. She let him take it without hesitation, their fingers interlocking. It felt so right.As they walked through the office, she felt the weight of dozens of eyes on them. Conversations momentarily halted, only to resume in hushed murmurs once they passed. She knew exactly why. One, no one had ever seen her h
