Tessa recalled how he had told her that it was a sensitive time. She felt a little unnerved. He carried her to the bedroom and placed her on the bed. “Perhaps it’s someone who’s looking for me. They know that I’m here so they came knocking. Go to sleep first if you’re tired. I’ll take a look”
“Stephen, be careful,” Tessa reminded, unable to temper the worry in her heart. “There’s a peephole installed on the door. You can look through it first before opening the door.”
Stephen pressed a kiss to her forehead. “Don’t worry. My bodyguard is downstairs if anything happens. Be a good girl and wait for me. I’ll check who’s outside.” When he reached the door, he looked through the peephole. He frowned upon seeing Zachary outside the door. He almost forgot that he was staying next to Tessa
Things were about to get interesting. Stephen opened the door and came face to face with Zachary. The moment their eyes locked onto each other, a vein pulsed on Zachary’s forehead. His jaw was set in a hard line as his anger exploded. “Stephen, what the fuck are you doing here?
Stephen had just finished bathing. He didn’t have any gare clothes in Tessa’s apartment, so he only had a towel wrapped around his waist. The love bites on his collarbone were on full display.
Zachary had gotten an eyeful of the marks against his will. He sucked in a deep breath. His face was pale and turbulent storms were swirling in his eyes.
“I should be asking you that question, Stephen queried with a chuckde. “I’m Tessa’s boyfriend. It’s perfectly normal for me to stay over at her place. With what role are you questioning my presence here?”
“Stephen Jacobson!” Zachary bellowed furiously.
He gave up on trying to keep his emotions in check. He swung a fist at Stephen as a colorful string of
of curses exploded from his lips, but Stephen was faster.
The moment he noticed Zachary’s fist coming at him, he shifted his head to the side and dodged Zachary’s powerful punch, Stephen’s expression darkened as he launched his counterattack
“What have you done to Tessy?*
Zachary clenched his fist, the veins on the back of his hand popping up from the amount of strength he was exerting
“We’re a couple. What else would we be doing? Stephen replied with a smirk
His words were the straw that broke the camel’s back. Zachary’s chest tightened as he felt his blood thickening, clogging up his veins. He thought that his head was going to split in two from the pain.
