All Chapters of Tangled Desire: My Daddy, My Professor: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

TessaReality hit me like a ton of bricks, and my knees felt weak, threatening to buckle beneath me. Thanks to Mr. Carter's firm hand on my shoulder, I would have collapsed to the floor by now. My eyes refused to close, and my mouth remained wide open in shock, with tears welling up in the corners, streaming down my face in slow motion.I couldn't believe this; this can't be happening right now. The room seemed to spin around me, and my mind raced with thoughts. Even without anyone telling me, and with the reaction on Mr. Carter's face, this lady must be someone he knew intimately.Mr. Carter released me, taking a step further, but the girl moved back, her eyes fixed on us. "Jasmine, I can explain," he pleaded, blinking repeatedly, his eyes filled with desperation.My ears perked up at the name. Jasmine? It sounded familiar; where did I hear that from? Oh! A gasp escaped my lips when I finally recalled if I didn't misremember, that Jasmine was Mr. Carter's daughter, the same girl who

CarterThe door to my office opened, and Tessa walked in. She smiled as soon as she saw me, and I returned the smile to her."Tell me how everything went yesterday, with your daughter?" She asked as soon as she closed the door and stepped feet fully into the office."Well, it didn't go out as you imagined, but I tried my best. I tried talking to her yesterday, and after so much pleading, she agreed to keep our relationship a secret and not tell Mila about it." I answered taking her hands and pulling her towards my table.She stared at me, unconvinced by my words, but she made no move to say any words."We don't have much time, Tessa; let's finish what we started yesterday evening before my daughter interrupted us," I winked at her, and she chuckled inwardly.I opened her shirt, ran a veiny finger across her chest, leaned forward, and then placed a kiss in the center of her chest.Her resistance shattered, and I pulled her into my arms."Tess." I groaned and crushed my lips to hers.Sh

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

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

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
