Chapter 225 THERE SHE IS
1830words
I dismissed the black suit, and instead, I pick a dark brown color suit that is more like hickory in shade. While I was putting on my tie I couldn't help but remember my distant wife, the way she put the tie on me last time, sexy, seductive yet innocent.
God, this woman.
I take a deep sigh as my body's adrenaline starts to rush. No, not now.
I step out of my room and check on the kids for the last time, they are getting ready for bed and sadly I am not able to read them the bedtime story nor Tessa.
This woman is getting on my nerves, I should send Ron to search for her but where she could go, she would be able to return safely but what if not?
My skin starts to prickle in worry and when I absentmindedly press the button for the elevator, I didn't realize that Ann is already standing inside it.
"Is something bothering you, Andrew?" Ann asks and I feel startled by her presence beside me.
"Oh… Nothing."
Ann gives me a weird, disapproving look and I decided to ignore it completely.
We stay silent all the way, there is nothing much left for us to talk about since Tessa has gone from my life. I don't feel like talking with anyone except her. Even if it includes our bickering, arguments, scolding, and many more displeasing things.
I want my everything from her only.
We reach the venue and there a group of paparazzi circled us around, throwing multiple nonsensical questions. Thankfully, Aaron's birth is hidden from them otherwise his sickness will also become a piece of breaking news for them.
Ann and I start greeting the familiar faces of the business. Ann is more well-known about those people while I am just a silent watcher here.
I pull out my phone and texted Ron asking him about Tessa's whereabouts, he replied instantly informing me that he has seen her leaving but had no idea where she has gone.
I send him back my reply in a completely foul mood.
If he wasn't able to find her before this boring function ends I am going to show my worse to Ron.
The party is quite boring for me as I had expected and making my way towards the bar, I grab a glass of wine and then start gulping it down as water to kill my boredom. Tessa's worries are killing me, where the hell is she?
There are noises coming from outside from time to time whenever any couple makes their entry. Subconsciously, my eyes go to the door and there I spot a familiar figure shining brightly in gold.
For a moment, I wasn't able to recognize that woman at all.
It takes me a second brief look to be sure that it is really her. My distant wife, the mother of my children.
Here you are, Tessa Will.
My mouth drops in awe. She looks extremely ravishing and gorgeous. I was lost in her beauty when I see two hands on her shoulder pressing her firmly.
Two manly hands, what the f**k.
My gaze follows the muscular hand and then broad shoulders and there I finally see the face of the man.
Bloody Maverick.
How the hell Tessa has accepted to come over here as his date?
Are they officially accepting their love affair?
My heart rate accelerates with thousands of negative thoughts.
Just three days I am away from this woman and she has thrown herself into someone else's arm. Oh God, my gaze turns murderous and I intended to kill that MF when someone holds my arm and pull me back.
"Mr. Lou is here, we should go and greet him together," Ann says as she pulls me in the opposite direction while my gaze stays fixed on the back of that Moron and my wife, Tessa Will.
Thankfully, Ann hadn't noticed them yet but soon she will. The way Tessa has glammed up, especially for this ball I would be surprised if she goes unnoticed by anyone in here.
I could already see people stealing glances at her merely in order to approach her.
Oh, F**k, my head starts to explode from the fury and I couldn't even manage to speak in proper Chinese with Mr. Lou. I am all messed up and my focus at the moment is on only one person.
Tessa Will.
My mouth opens in shock when Aiden takes off her coat and clearly, her appearance comes into my view, the first thing that comes into my notice is her cleavage.
God, you're going to be dead from me, Tessa.
Her slender arms on the show, have turned more white and so gorgeous that my length twitches in my pants in anticipation.
This isn't the time for your lustful desires, you should be taking strict action now.
I scold my body that is betraying me badly.
Aiden offers her a glass to drink, and she takes a sip with a smile on her face, they both are whispering words into each other's ears and I am keen to know what they are talking about.
Aiden laughs out loud as Tessa whispers something in his ear.
What is so funny, huh? With me she keeps a long face and looks at her now, they both look so happy and blissful.
God, her dress shines immensely around the mirror decoration and that shine has started to burn my eyes tremendously.
That's it.
I couldn't hold it any longer as I march my way towards them, making Ann stunned all of the sudden.
I stand behind them and still, Miss Will hasn't felt my presence at all.
What has got into you, Tessa? Aren't you the one loving my soul completely?
Sigh.
I look at her back with a broken heart and then intentionally greet Aiden loudly.
"Mr. Maverick…"
I turn my gaze towards the mirror glass and there I meet the deep blue eyes staring right into mine. Hi, my dear wife.
"Mr. Jack," Aiden calls out, taking back my attention to him. "How's your father, I have heard he's been in bad health for quite a time," I ask, staring at Tessa's head, come on my dear wife, turn and show yourself.
Show me that beautiful smile and the laugh that you were just sharing with that little brat. Aiden replies curtly and I am not a percent interested in hearing what he has to say as my focus remains on Tessa.
"So, who's the lady beside you?" Finally, I asked Aiden coldly and he tilted his head, the soft gentle smile appearing on his lips when he introduced Tessa to me, that was enough to make me lose my control. I fist my hands in rage not wanting to create a scene here that will catch everyone's attention on us.
"Uhmm… Hello, Mr. Jack." Finally, the blue eyes come straight into my view, face to face, she greets me coldly, and with a slight terror in her eyes if I am not wrong.
Sarcastically I greeted her back, "Miss Will." while kissing the back of her hand, so soft and cold.
Her breath hitches when my tongue gets in contact with her skin.
Bravo…
You're lucky I am using tongue Tessa, otherwise, it would have definitely been teeth on you.
She stares at me in the silent challenge while I stare back, not giving up at all. I don't care what the Moron is thinking at the moment, I want to see what my wife is planning to do next after acting like a stranger to me.
Unleash your talents, my sexy wife.
The lights dim out of the sudden, interrupting our moment and Tessa pulls her hand out of my grip recklessly as I groan unhappily.
Before I was able to pull her back, I was taken aback by someone, not someone but Ann.
"What were you doing there with Marven's son?" She inquires, looking displeased by my lack of attention towards her.
"Just a normal greeting, Ann," I reply expressionlessly.
"He is trouble Andrew, and you have to stay away from him at any cost. It took us too much effort to push him away from taking our jewel business. I don't want the father and son duo to bother us again." Ann says exasperatedly and I nod my head absentmindedly while my gaze is focused on both of their backs.
The lights are dim but I am still able to notice each feature of my woman and there the thread of my patience starts to lose when Aiden holds her hand and pulls her to the center to dance.
She is going to dance with him.
How dare she !!
All the veins in my forehead popped up when I watched them both dancing together, Aiden swirling her around him skillfully while my blood started to boil and I was near to exploding.
"Tessa…" Ann exclaims beside me.
"Isn't this Tessa with Aiden? What the hell is she doing with Marven's son?" Ann questions in disdain and I don't give a f**k if Ann has seen her or would do anything inappropriate as my eyes stay fixed on Tessa.
Her face looks calm, careless, and young. Why hasn't she been like this with me?
A pain shoots in my heart making me flinch painfully.
The dance starts to get its end when I hurriedly make my way to Tessa and as Tessa spins and Aiden was supposed to pull her back towards him. I hold her wrist and pull her towards me.
BOOM
Her body crushes into mine and she lets out a low painful growl.
"Can I have the honor to dance, Miss Will?" I ask with a clenched jaw and before she will respond I pull her towards the center pushing Aiden out of our way.
My grip on her body is painfully tight and she gasps when I squeeze her flesh in my hands.
Painful?
Angrily I start dancing with her, that's more like a punishment, each move is reckless making her gasp and stumble.
"You're hurting me," She hissed in between and I looked at her with cold eyes, "Wow, you can enjoy another person's dance with you but with your husband it's hurtful."
I gritted my teeth and then again spin her recklessly and she slams her body into me again as I hold her waist tightly swaying lightly.
"Enough, Andrew." She snaps in a low voice as I look down at her in disgust, "Want to go back to your lover?"
I question in an insulting tone and her brows furrow in disdain as she lifts her long lashes and looks at me with hurt in her eyes. "He's not my lover." she chokes and somehow my anger starts to subside when I look at her frightened and weak appearance in my arms.
Especially those blue mesmerizing eyes.
