All Chapters of When Obsession Wears a Ring: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Tessa quickly got to work. Luckily, digging was one thing she was exceptionally good at. The more she dug, the more astonished she became at how horrible Danielle truly was. Every new piece of information only strengthened her resolve. This wasn't just about Raymond anymore. It was about herself. It was about all the people Danielle had manipulated over the years.The only platform and voice Tessa truly had was her blog, and she knew that it was time to leverage it. A little voice of doubt creeped in, reminding her that it had been a long while since she had posted anything substantial, and she wasn't even sure how much traffic it would still generate after all this weeks. Also, what if it back fired on her and people start to think that she was a creepy stalker. She quickly waved off the thought and if anything, dug deeper. She didn’t know it at first, but she had stopped caring and crossed the line into her villain era, fully.By the time the clock struck midnight, she had three d

Tessa had barely stepped through the door when she froze.The apartment looked… alive. Too alive. Everywhere was bustling in colours and sweet smells of fresh roses. The faint smell of dinner drifted through the air, warm and intentional, like someone had been cooking for hours. The dining table was perfectly set. Plates arranged neatly. Cutlery aligned like it had been thought through, not rushed.And then there was Raymond.He was standing there like he had been waiting for her arrival his whole life and staring at her as though she was another dessert that he badly wanted to consume.Tessa blinked slowly.“What is going on?” she asked, taking a step further inside. “Why does it feel like I just walked into a surprise party I wasn’t told about?”Raymond smiled.That slow, easy smile that always did something inconvenient to her chest.“Well…” he said simply.Tessa narrowed her eyes.“That is not an answer.”He shrugged slightly, walking toward her.“What other answer do you need?

Tessa was sitting on a hammock in the background that cool evening, a book was open in her hands, but she wasn’t reading it. Her eyes kept drifting to nothing in particular, her mind racing somewhere between calm and uneasy.Raymond had been with her earlier, talking lightly, kissing her forehead before stepping out for a work call.“Don’t move,” he had said with a smile. “I’ll be back soon.”She had laughed and then protested weakly“I’m not your hostage.”He grinned and kissed her softly.“You kind of are.”And then he was gone.His second phone had been left on the table beside her and she hadn’t paid attention to it at first, until it beeped.She ignored it at first.Then it beeped again.Something in her paused and urged her to check it out.Slowly, she reached for it, she hesitated for a second and then picked it up.The screen lit up that instant and another message came in from an unknown number.And another.Her brows slowly tightened as she started reading.Tessa’s breath sl

The shrill ringtone cut through the quiet room, making both Tessa and Raymond stirr at the same time.Tessa groaned softly and reached for the bedside lamp, blinking against the sudden light. The clock beside her bed read 5:02 a.m.Raymond pushed himself up on one elbow and frowned."Babe, who's calling by this time?"Tessa shrugged."I wish I knew."She grabbed her phone from the nightstand and glanced at the screen.The moment she saw the name, she paused."Derek."Raymond saw it too.His expression changed instantly.Tessa was surprised about the call coming in that early and almost laughed at Raymond’s expression alongside.The jealousy was becoming easier and easier to spot.She answered the call and immediately placed it on speaker."Hello?""Hi, friend."Derek's cheerful voice filled the room. He was too active for that time."Been a while."Tessa smiled."Thank you. Is everything okay? Did you sleep at all? Why are you calling so early?""Haha… So many questions. Yeah, everyth

Danielle had always believed that bad news was something that happened to other people. Not her.She had spent a good part of her life, surviving hurt and protecting herself from being hurt by other people. She could care less about them being hurt in the process.Again, she was Danielle Hart.The woman brands fought over.The woman magazines wanted on their covers.The woman whose face could sell almost anything.Or at least that was what she believed.Until that morning, when her phone started ringing continuously and didn't stop.At first, she ignored it. She was getting ready for a shoot when the first call came in.Then another, and another.At first, it was her manager, then her assistant and publicist amongst others.She could remember frowning as she admired her reflection in the mirror."What now?"She picked up the call from her manager first and the moment she answered, she knew something was wrong.He didn’t even say hello."Danielle."Her manager sounded tense.Very tense
