Chapter 224 I Owe Tessa That thought flashed through my mind in an instant.
+ Pearls "Caden, do you remember when we were locked in that dark room together? Back then, you were afraid of the dogs and wantedto hold you just like this, Heidi murmured, her voice soft and alluring As she spoke, she casually tugged at the collar of her nightgown, revealing a glimpse of her smooth skin- and the unmistakable rose birthmark on her shoulder.
Seeing that mark, I snapped back to reality.
There was no doubt about it. The rose birthmark was real. How could I have doubted Tessa? Heidi was Tessa.
I was sure of it.
And yet- My feelings for Tessa weren't the sas they had been eight years ago.
Thad passed. We had grown up.
It was only natural that things had changed.
"Tessa, don't," I said, feeling suffocated by her embrace. I gently pushed her away, stood up, and straightened my clothes.
"Don't you loveanymore, Caden?" Heidi's expression faltered. "But you toldthat you loveand that you were going to marry me." My hands stilled at the reminder, and I frowned slightly. "Tessa, those were just childhood promises." "But I took those childhood promises seriously." Heidi stood up and faced me. I could see the desperation in her eyes.

The only thing that keptgoing was the thought of you. I survived because of y you. And all these years, I've never stopped thinking about you. You said you would marry me. Are you going to go back on your word now?" Her words made guilt surge through me.
She was right. I had said those things.
And she had fallen off that cliff because she was trying to save me.
I owed Tessa my life.
*Tessa, can we talk about this another time?" I said softly, patting her hand. "You should rest now. Get ssleep, okay? Stop thinking too much." She bit her lip and gavea resentful look. “Is this because of Rosaline?" 1/3 Chapter 2241 Own Tessa 2410wn + Pearls Heidi's eyes flashed with jealousy, "Caden, don't forget-Rosaline broke off the engagement. She's with Jasper now. She's not worth- "That's enough, I interrupted her, "It's late, Tessa. Go to sleep" Heidi's POV: I was furious.
1 had tried so hard to seduce Caden, but all I got was his indifference? It was clear tonow-Rosaline meant more to him than I did.
If I kept pushing him now, I would only make things worse.
I took a deep breath and forced a gentle smile. "Okay, Caden. I'll sleep now. What about you?" "I'll stay here and keep you company," he said and strode over to the couch.
Was he willing to stay? That meant he still cared about me.
Relieved, I lay down and turned off the lights.
In the dim glow of the moonlight, I watched Caden sitting on the couch.
I stared at his handsface, which remained cold and distant. His brows were furrowed with a hint of frustration.
He was so close, yet he showed no reaction to my seductive body.
I clenched my fists under the covers.
Rosaline.
Caden was ignoringbecause of that Omega wh*re.
I wouldn't let her get away with this..
Caden would be mine.
Morning came, and Caden droveto Eclipse Group.
As we entered the company building together, my eyes immediately landed on Rosaline.
She was arriving at work at the stas us.
Is this omega still here? Luckily, I reacted quickly. The moment I saw her tall, slender figure, I reached out and clung to Caden's arm, my voice delicate and weak. "Caden, I suddenly feel a little dizzy. Can I lean on you?" Caden responded with a quiet "Mm," and I was overjoyed. I rested my head against his shoulder aking sure we looked as close as possible.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm09.02 Wed, 19 Mar Chapter 224 | Owe Tessa Rosaline, look carefully. See how close Caden and I are! Rosaline's POV: Watching Heidi cling to Caden with that blissful expression made my heart sink.
Last night, Caden had rushed out the moment he got Heidi's call And this morning, they had cto work toget So that meant, they had spent the whole night together.
What did they do? 1 scoffed.
A man and a woman, alone in a room for an entire night what else could they have done?
Especially when that woman was the Tessa that Caden had longed for all these years. It was ridiculous.
Last night. Caden spoke toas if he cared. As if he still had feelings for me.
But now, this? It was all a joke..
From the beginning to the end, the only person Caden bad ever truly e loved was Pessa. Then why had he even bothered saying those things tolast night?.
What did he takefor? I walked past them and into the secretary's office expressionlessly.
Then I saw Heidi sitting at my desk.
I narrowed my eyes.
First my man, and now my desk? I strode over, towering over her. That's my seat. Move," I said coldly.
