At the intersection, the cars stopped. Abraham transferred to another vehicle, followed by several others trailing behind.
On Ste’s end, she was escorted by three cars heading to Victor’s vi.
Inside the vi-
Tessa hadn’t slept a wink all night. She was terrified something else might happen to Victor.
By the time Ste arrived. Tessa was red–eyed, preparing medication for Victor.
As soon as she walked in, Ste spotted Tessa looking like a pitiful little wife.
In just a few short days. Tessa had lost so much weight that Ste’s heart ached. <b>“</b>Tessa<b>…</b><b>” </b>
She called out softly,
Tessa paused mid–preparation, lifted her head, <b>and </b>the moment she saw Ste, her tears fell like rain.
“Ste__”
Ste rushed over in a few steps. “What happened? Why are you crying?”
That look–must’ve been something awfulst night.
Thinking about all the idents that had happened around Victor recently, Ste couldn’t help but break out in <b>a </b><b>cold </b>sweat. Seriously the frequency of these incidents is way too high
Tessa snifled “Thank goodness you’re here. I almost didn’t live to see the light of day!”
Tnto Ste and burst into tears.
Lewis, who had just walked in heard what she said and visibly twitched; he was stunned. Wait, what? You almost didn’t make it through the night? Can you not be so dramatic?
Sure,st night was intense, but no one actually hurt her<b>. </b>
<b>At </b>most, they just scared her a little. And now she was acting like she’d had a near–death experience. Women’s interpretation of things kind ofanreal sometimes
Whatever. He hadn’t nned on being with a woman anyway Just felt bad for the boss–stuck with someone this timid. How’s the supposed to deal with that long term?
Ste hugged Tessa tightly, gently patting her back. “It’s okay, it’s <b>okay</b>. You’re fine now.”
Victor really had made her feel wronged. He didn’t know how to be a litle gentle with girls. He’d better be careful, <b>or </b>he’d never End a wife.
But he didn’t used to be like this. Back when he was with Abraham, he was actually pretty easygoing.
What happened? Did those dangerous experiences he dragged Tessa into do this to her?
Tessa’s small shoulders shook as she cried, looking utterly pitiful.
Ste keptforting her “It’s over now, it’s all in the past. Forget about it, okay?”
“It’s not over. It’s nowhere close to over. I almost died.”
After what happenedst night, if something had really happened to Victor, there was no <b>way </b>she’d <b>have </b>survived to see
Ste said gently. “No way. No way Victor would never let anything happen to you.”

He might not listen to just anyone.
But if Abraham said something. Victor would definitely listen
Tessa cried. “It’s because of him! Because of him. I nearly died.”
Ste blinked<b>. </b>“Huh?”
Because of Victor, she almost died? Wait a minute…
Ste’s mouth twitched. “Did something else happen against night?”
Could it be that, in that short amount of time, something actually went down again between her and Victor?
She thought back to when they were in Seats Cove, when Tessa had grabbed Victor’s belt buckle.
And then aftering here–it was the bath towel.
If something else happenedst night then seriously, the number of idents Tessa’s had around Victor is just–wow.
Tessa huped through her tears. “I almost killed Victorst night.”
Ste was stunned. Wait, what
She gently pulled Tessa out of her arms and stared at her, brows scrunched tightly.
“What did you just say?”

She wasn’t sure she heard that right–or even understood it. What do you mean you almost killed Victor? Tessa? No way. It’s not that she looked down on Tessa–it’s just. Tessa really didn’t seem capable of something like that.
Honestly, the kind of person who could take down Victor probably hadn’t been born yet.
Tessa sniffled. “I nearly took Victor’s lifest night, Ste. I was so scared. I <b>don’t </b><b>know </b>what’s wrong with me. Back when I was in Rivermount. I was never like this. Why do I keep screwing up around him?”
just thinking about all the idents–Tessa didn’t even get to finish her sentence before she started crying again.
Ste was dumbfounded
She stared at Tessa in disbelief. There’s no way… this is something Tessa actually did… right?
Seeing how shaken Tessa was, Ste knew she couldn’t let it slide anymore–she had to get to the bottom of this.
Tessa’s situation and Rianne’s were entirely different.
Rianne’s story didn’t need pressing–out of respect.
But this thing with Tessa today? If Ste didn’t get some rity, she had a sinking feeling she wouldn’t be able to take Tessa with her…
