PART–082
Tessa
I gulped hard when I saw Logan’s eyes getting darkness but he remained calm.
His silence felt like a calm ocean before a storm. He was furious and the jealously and possessiveness were clearly evident on his face.
“It is my business who visits you, Tessa. You are my wife, the mother of my child. People wear mask and you don’t know who is a good person or who is trying to lure you. I am a man and I know how men’s psychology works.”
His words were quiet but it was clear that he didn’t trust Adrian a bit.
“Logan, I think you should leave now. I don’t want to talk to a person who barge at my house and speak nonsense. I and Adrian have been friends for years and never for once I felt unsafe around him. In fact, he only supported me in every tough phase.” I defended my friend.
Logan hadn’t done anything special for me.
The truth was, he always advocated Raelynn in front of him when I was well aware of her intentions.
Served him the right when hurt flashed on his face.
“I’m sorry that I interrupted your time with your friend. I only came here to hand over Lena’s supplements.” He spoke flatly and put the plastic bag on the table.
A part of me regretted because he had been attentive towards Lena and me ever since he found us out but my pride forced me to stay silent and let him leave after.
Once he was gone, I sighed deeply and sat down on the sofa.
Why only my life has to be complicated?
Every time I thought that it was the end of the spiral twists and hardships, another waited for me.
Lena’s cry forced me to put my thoughts on pause and I went to see my daughter.
“Hey, Lena. Your father is an impulsive man. He thinks that he can control everyone around him and wants them to act according to his wish. I am not one of them. Your Mommy won’t yield to your Dad.” I talked to my daughter.
She was staring at me. Perhaps what her mother was blabbering because she smiled.
“Oh, for the first time you’re agree with me. It means your Dad is wrong.” I grinned.
Playing with Lena was my therapy and it actually worked because after a few hours, I was able to think properly and concentrate on my work.
Soon the evening rolled in. Lena slept for hours which gave me time to finish my work and send the copies to Adrian who approved them so we could work on the drafts.
I took Logan’s advice which he shared with me during our beach trip and after months of discussions, sharing new ideas and working on the clothes which could be afforded by everyone. The early phases were smooth but finding land and stores on lease were challenging because we wanted prime locations.
Once I finished the day’s work, I stretched my arms and looked at the time. It was seven.

The maid had taken an early leave to visit her family so I was alone.
I was advised by the doctor to not move much but fetching coffee from coffee machine wasn’t a hard work.
My gaze fell on my wedding ring which I hadn’t removed yet. The thought of removing it came to me a few times but I couldn’t muster up the confidence to do it.
Because my feelings for Logan hadn’t died completely. He could still make me feel butterflies. His presence still affected me even though I knew that he might be seeing Raelynn because I was absent from his life for months.
I was too lost in my thoughts that I didn’t realize that I tumbled accidentally and lost by balance.
As a result, I fell and hit my stomach on the kitchen counter’s corner edge.
A sharp pain shot through my abdomen and I coiled on the floor. The pain was unbearable and I knew that it was pretty bad.
I somehow crawled to the living room where my phone was lying. I dialled the first number on the call log and in a few rings, the phone was answered.
“Ahh..please…I..need…a doctor.” I breathed out, my eyes were blurred with tears and I felt something wet between my thighs.
I looked down and fear conjured me when I saw red stains on my clothes.
The panic and fear were too intense that I didn’t realise when I slipped into darkness.
When I woke up, I found myself laying on a hospital bed. My body felt numb and head heavy.
“How are you feeling now,
Tessa?”
My gynaecologist’s voice made me tilt my head in her direction.
“What happened to me, doctor?”
I asked her in a weak voice because my throat was dry.
“Let’s talk about it later, hmm. Please, take rest and let me examine you once again.” She ignored my question and it was enough for me to guess that I wasn’t fine.
She checked my vitals and also down there while I laid there motionless.
