091 Hate to still feel this way

Tessa's Pov As my hands brushed against Aaron's. My breath hitched. My heart raced wildly.I hate that I still feel this way. I hate that I'm still attracted to him.As I raised my eyes, his eyes met mine and for a moment I zoned out, my eyes lingering on his succulent lips. I imagined him claiming my lips and kissing me passionately.For fucks sake Tessa, get a grip on yourself! You can't feel this way about him, you have moved on and that's it!Quickly I fought the weird nasty thoughts hovering in my head. I shifted my hands quickly and withdrew my gaze.I carried Zoey, standing up and moving towards the staircase without saying a word, my heart pounding nervously.I could hear Aaron's footsteps as he carried Xavier, walking behind me.I thought back to the expression on his face a while ago, he looked like he was stopping himself from doing something he really wanted to do.I just hope he doesn't mistake my intensified gaze as me wanting him back. Because there's no way I'm going

092 Nothing can stop me

Alexander's POV.Tessa seemed to be pretty occupied, she barely reply my messages or answer my calls and when she does she's always in a hurry to hang up.She has been acting strange since the dinner night, I kissed her without her consent and that triggered her even though it shouldn't.I've been there for her all these years, loved and cared for her and her little brats, of course it was so obvious that I loved her and wanted her but she chose to friend-zone me, she chose to still love Aaron. Even though she doesn't want to admit it yet, I can see it in her eyes, the way she looks at him, her eyes still holds the same warmth whenever she gazed at him, just like old times. She's still head over heels for him.Shit! It hurts.She's mad because I stole a kiss, been acting up even though I apologized and she said it was fine. I know she'd rather kiss Aaron.I don't know what I need to do for Tessa to see me as more than a friend. I don't know what I need to do to get her to love me, hav

093 Still as beautiful as ever

Aaron's Pov I was on my way driving out of the estate when I saw Alexander's car driving in.He's obviously going to Tessa's house. I don't know why he thinks it's convenient to always come to Tessa's house by this time.For fucks sake it's late and he should know his boundaries!But on a second thought, he's friends with Tessa and that kind of gives him the right to visit Tessa anything he wants to.I still haven't gotten over the night Tessa went out with him on a dinner date and now this.Alexander is intentionally trying to get under my skin.I took a deep breath, trying to steady my breathing. I gently drove out of the estate.Few kilometers away from the estate gate, I started having this disturbing feeling about Alexander's visit.All the time I was with Tessa, she didn't mention that Alexander was coming over, even though we weren't exactly talking but I felt she should have mentioned it at some point.I don't trust Alexander one bit, he is a pervert! And Tessa is not safe wi

094 A bit fuzzy

Aaron's PovAfter I was done cleaning Tessa up, I changed her night gown and carried her to the bed.I covered her up with a duvet. I let out a deep breath, making sure she was comfortable before I walked back to the couch. Putting the towel away and carrying the basin of water down to the kitchen. After then I cleaned the floor where Tessa had puked.I went to the kids room and checked on them, they were sleeping adorably. I kissed their cheeks before leaving their respective rooms.As I find my way downstairs, I can't help but imagine what Alexander would have done if I didn't step in on time.I swear, Alexander is not getting away with this, I'm going to make sure he regrets ever touching Tessa with those filthy hands of his, Asshole!But then, my thoughts raced, if I decide to let Tessa in on what Alexander tried to do last night, is she going to believe me?I don't think Tessa would believe me but then again Tessa usually don't forget everything that happened around her when she'

095 Only one way

Tessa's Pov.An hour later, Mara and I walked back into the living room, after dropping Xavier and Zoey in school.I shrugged into the couch and then a memory of Alexander pulling closer over me surfaced.I winced slightly in pain, holding my head. Mara rushed to me."Tes, what's wrong?" She asked, her tone concerned. "You're still having a hungover, right?" She asked as realization hits her I nodded, shifting my gaze at her. "But that's not all!""Okay," Mara cuts in sharply. "Hold that thought. Firstly, I need to get you something to help with the hungover and then you can tell me all about it," Mara said, standing up."Okay Mars, thank you," I said with a nod, offering her a small smile as she disappeared into the kitchen.Soon she appeared with a hot bowl of hot soup, a hot coffee and a painkiller. "I'm sure this would help," Mara said, dropping the tray on the table."Thank you," I muttered, going for the painkiller first.As I take the last spoon of the soup, Mara asked. "So, w

096 Revealed

Tessa's Pov "Good morning ma'am," Rose greeted as I approached her, her face beaming with smiles."Good morning Rose, how are you doing this morning," I asked, returning the smile."Great!" She exclaimed, walking behind me as I entered my office."I cleared your desk yesterday, and rescheduled your appointments as instructed," Rose said, giving me heads up on my schedule for the day."Judy Lee is insisting on meeting up with you to finalize the contract," Rose said and paused. "Miss T?" She called. "Should I set up a meeting with her? She seemed really persistent to meet you in person," Rose asked."Sure, twelve noon would be perfect," I replied."Okay, I'll get that done right away," Rose said sharply, typing in her tab."Uhmm," I said, "Tell the dispatch team that I'd love to have a brief meeting with them," I instructed."Okay, got it!" Rose retorted, noting down.She looks up at me, waiting for permission to leave. "That would be all, Rose. You may leave," I said gently, offering

097 Doubt

Tessa's Pov I eyed him carefully, my expression blank as I glared at him.Alexander tried to take advantage of me. Why would he do that? My thoughts spiral around.Aaron just sat there, waiting for me to digest his words, he doesn't seem eager to make me believe his claims, he looked like he knows more.I straightened myself in defense, even though deep down, somehow I don't think he'd go that far, just to discredit Alexander.I recalled Alexander acting all weird when I opened the door, and then he was saying things I can't remember, getting a tad bit too closer than he should. Then the rest is blank."And why should I believe you?" I asked, my eyes flickering in defense. "For all I know, you might actually be making this up to get him out of the way," I added sharply, my gaze fixed on him.Aaron scoffs slightly but remained calm. "You sure, you don't believe me?" He asked.I rolled my eyes at him. "And why should I? Alexander is my friend, he can't possibly hurt me," I defended.But

098 Joy of every father

Aaron's Pov.I left Tessa's office, not sure why Tessa not believing me had to hurt this much. But then I felt bad for her, she much have genuinely considered Alexander as a friend and the asshole had to do this?I know back then, I only briefed Tessa how Alexander drugged Lisa, I didn't go into details how it happened and how cocky Alexander can be. He's a man that can go to any length to get whoever he wanted.He deluded Tessa into believing all she heard about him were untrue and showed Tessa a side of him he only wanted her to see.I'm so sure that he also pretended to love my kids, just so Tessa could see him in that limelight.I could have showed Tessa those footage from the CCTV and exposed Alexander but my instincts kicked against it. I wanted Tessa to figure it out herself, it's her call, and most importantly I wanted her to learn to trust me again.Somehow I knew that Tessa wouldn't believe me, but it still hurts to hear her say it to me.I returned to my office and buried m

099 He's hiding something

Tessa's Pov.Earlier before I got home, Alexander had messaged me back that he was free and he'd come this evening.Mara wanted to go with me to my place but I told her I could handle it alone.I wanted Alexander to look me in the eyes and either lie or say the truth. Either ways, I wanted to give him that benefit of doubt as a friend, who has always been there for my kids and I.I sat down in the living room, patiently waiting for Alexander to arrive. Margaret brings a glass of juice to me."Thank you," I muttered, taking the glass from her, I take a sip and carefully placed it on the table. "Aren't you done for today" I asked Margaret."I am. But I'm waiting for the twins to return, so I'd tidy their lunch boxes before leaving," Margaret."Hmm," I hummed, but the look on Margaret's face is not convincing. For some reason I felt that wasn't why she was still around, normally she goes home earlier than this."Margaret," I called. "Are you okay?" I inquired.Her eyes flickered as she g

100 Exactly

Tessa's Pov Two hours later, Aaron walked in with Jesse and the twins."Mommy! See what Daddy got us," Zoey squeaked, rushing to me and showing off the pink teddy bear in her hand.My eyes lights up as I carried her. "Nice! This is beautiful," I retorted, offering a warm smile.My eyes shifted to Jesse and Xavier. They seemed quite close. "Jesse?" I called. "How are you enjoying your new school?" I asked, a warm smile tugged at my lips.His eyes perks up. "I love it! Xavier's friends are so nice," Jesse chimed, his face beaming with smiles, one could easily see how genuinely happy he was."I'm glad you love it there," I replied.Slowly my eyes landed on Aaron, he was smiling widely at me and that seemed to make my stomach churn erratically.Quickly I pulled my gaze away, returning it to Xavier, who was busy talking and smiling with Jesse. "Okay sweethearts, you both need to go upstairs and freshen up, Aunty Margaret will help you with that," I said, carrying Zoey down and gesturing X
