^^ Hours Earlier ^^
“Please Connor, don’t deny me the one thing have ever wanted from you” Clarissa pleaded still holding onto him.
Prising her hand off of him, he turned to her.
“What you are asking for is impossible. Am married Clarissa and I very much love my wife and even if I agreed, it will be unfair to you since I won’t feel a thing” Connor said softly.
“I don’t care if you don’t feel a thing. All I want is that I hold you in my arms once, please agree,Connor” Clarissa pleaded.
“I can’t agree to it and I will also pretend that I heard nothing from you” He answered and was about to leave when she pulled him back and smash her lips on his.
Connor was startled by this and before he could pull away, she pulled away from him starring at whoever was standing behind him.
“Connor lips on mine tastes better, don’t you think so Tessa?” Clarissa asked alerting him on Tessa presence.
“Tessa” the alarmed Connor called.
“Why are you so shock, It’s about time Tessa knows about us” Clarissa said earning a angry look from him.
“There’s no us, so shut up!” Connor yelled at her before moving towards Tessa.
“Tessa I can explain”
“Don’t listen to him Tessa, Connor and I are lovers. We didn’t want anyone knowing and that’s why we’ve been hiding it and am glad that you’ve seen us since that will end us pretending in front of you too” Clarissa said quickly.
“Don’t listen to her. Listen to me and let’s go back to the beach house to talk” Connor insisted taking hold of her hand but Tessa pulled away.
Walking past him, she went to stand in front of a smiling Clarissa.
“Connor is cheating on me with you, right?” Tessa asked and Clarissa gave a shrug in return.
“Then you won’t mind me doing this ” Tessa added before slapping her on the face.
“Are you….Arrgh!” Clarissa yelled again when Tessa slapped her other cheek.
“Since you are my husband mistress, it’s only right that I beat the hell out of you” Tessa said as she launch for her hair.
Clarissa cried out in pain not being able to defend herself from Tessa’s onslaught.
But Connor quickly pulled the angry Tessa away from Clarissa.
“Let go of me, Connor!” Tessa screamed but instead of doing that, Connor lifted her over his arms taking her back to the beach house.

^^ Cynthia’s Room ^^
“I can explain Granny ” Chris said as he shielding Cynthia away from his granny gaze.
“Explain what? I saw it with my own eyes” Granny Susie said as she walk towards them.
“Granny I…”
“You shut up!” She yelled at Chris before pushing aside so she could see Cynthia.
“Granny I…” Cynthia didn’t get to complete her words because Granny Susie gave her a slap.
“Granny!” Chris called as he pulled Cynthia away from her.
“Was this your aim when you began working as his tutor? To seduce a little boy?” Granny Susie asked her.
“She didn’t seduce me granny. I fell for her, I saw her first, I pursued her and didn’t give her a chance until she said yes to me” Chris defended.
“Oh…I can see that she has clearly bewitched you!” Granny yelled at him.
“She didn’t bewitch me Granny, so stop with your insults. I won’t allow you insult the woman I love”
“Oh my God! What have you done to him ? What exactly did you do to my grand child?” Granny Susie asked glaring at Cynthia.
“I did nothing except to fall for Chris” Cynthia spoke as she took hold of Chris hand.
“I know that I am older than him, I know that he deserves to be with someone his age and that’s one of the reason I kept rejecting him but then…I can’t do it anymore, I love him. I love him and am not going to give him up” Cynthia stated while holding onto his hand for support.
“This is crazy! This is very crazy!” She yelled before leaving the room.
“Are you okay?” Chris asked as he inspected her cheek.
“I am ” she replied.
“I apologise on her behalf. I never thought her to be someone who use violence” Chris let out in frustration.
“When it comes to one’s family. Even the most gentlest person turns into a wild tiger just to protect them. I understand what she did back there, I would have also done the same thing” Cynthia said trying to put his mind at ease.
Pulling her into his arms, he gave her a tight embrace.
“Promise me that you won’t let my granny come between us” Chris pleaded.
“Loving you as much as I do, no one will be able to separate us” Cynthia replied as she slowly move out of his hold to stare at him.
Leaning towards her, he claimed her lips .

“Calm down, Tessa” Connor said as he settled her feet on the carpeted floor.
“Don’t you ever do that again” A dizzy Tessa yelled as she hit him on the chest.
“You wouldn’t listen and you were willing to kill Clarissa. If I hadn’t stop you then you… That’s not the main point here, the main point is that what you saw back there is a lie. Clarissa made it…”
“I believe you” Tessa said cutting him off abruptly.
“You do?”
“For the few days we’ve been apart, I realized that things like this will keep on happening. Clarissa with you and Edward with me but then…”
“What do you mean by Edward with you? Did he do something to you?” Connor asked worriedly.
“He didn’t…well he did said something crazy but then… I don’t care cause you are the man I love, the man I married and the man I want to spend the rest of my life with” Tessa said while he stared down at her lovingly.
“This issue about trust…let’s work on it. I don’t want us fighting and mistrusting each other. Wh@tëver happened between you and Clarissa, I don’t care since I trust you. Do you feel the same too?” Tessa asked slowly.
“I trust you too. I trust you and am glad that we’ve been able to sort out our differences. You have no idea how much have missed you” he said as he gave her deep passionate kiss.
“So no more fights ?” Tessa asked when he pulled away to stare down at her.
“No more fights. As long as we trust each other then everything will be fine” He replied as she they both held each other like their life depends on it.
“I love you”
“Same here” Connor replied as he kissed her again enjoying the privacy they had in the spare room.

^^ Later That Evening ^^
After spending the rest of the afternoon in Connor arms, Tessa slept only to wake up to find Connor gone.
She was about calling him when she saw the note he left her.
★ EVERYONE IS AT THE BEACH, COME JOIN US WHEN YOU ARE AWAKE ★
Letting out a smile, Tessa went to get ready.
She was getting off the stairs when she heard a girl scream. Trailing the noise, it led her to the room Fiona use.
She was about to go in when she heard Frederick speaking to her.
It’s just Frederick…she thought and was about to leave when she heard the next thing Frederick said.
“Have been thinking of ways to earn your forgiveness but whenever you are this way, the only thing I can do is to kiss some sense into you”
Tessa wanted to believe his words as a joke but something made her walk into the room.
What she saw got her gasping inward cause there was Frederick on top of Fiona and they were both kissing.
“I love you Fiona, I love you and if I hurt you with my words, do forgive me” Frederick said and kissed her again.
Not being able to hold back, Tessa yelled at the both of them.
” What the hell is going on here!”
On seeing Tessa, Frederick and Fiona quickly pulled away from each other.
“What did I just witness you two doing?” A shocked Tessa asked again.
“Tessa, we….”
“We love each other, Tessa” Frederick spoke startling Tessa more.
“Love each other? Are you both crazy! You are siblings for crying out loud!” She yelled down at them.
“It’s all my fault. I started it, I was attracted to her when knowing that she’s my twin sister. If you are to blame someone then blame me” Frederick said, trying to protect Fiona.
“This is madness! Totally insane ” Tessa said worriedly as she sank down on the sofa.
Fiona quickly got out of the bed to kneel in front of her.
“We both know it’s crazy but we couldn’t control our feelings. I know this will be hard for you to do but can you keep it a secret ” Fiona begged looking desperate.
“This can’t be kept a secret! Connor needs to know so he can put an end to this madness!” Tessa said as she stood up but Frederick block her path.
“Connor can’t know the truth” Frederick said.
“He needs to. If we want this to end for good then he needs to know, move out of my way Frederick” Tessa ordered but Frederick stood his ground.
“Fine then, since you intend to keep me locked in here. I will just have to call for him” Tessa said even as she pulled out her phone.

^^ Beach ^^
While Melody entertained everyone, Granny Susie noticed Chris leaving Cynthia side.
She watch him head back to the house and immediately, she went to Cynthia, pulling her away from the others.
“We still have some pending discussion” Granny Susie said.
“I thought I said everything earlier” Cynthia replied.
“How much? How much would it cost you to stay away from my grandson? A million? Two million or perhaps will ten million do?” Granny Susie asked.
“It seems like you’ve got me wrong ma’am. Am not interested in your money, my only interest is Chris and that’s because I….”
“Cut it out with that nonsense and tell me how much you want! Chris isn’t someone in your league, he has a bright future and you are destroying that for him by insisting on this so called love” Granny Susie yelled at her.
“Chris is bright as you’ve said and I believe that he will be someone great. My love for him has nothing to do with destroying him. I will pretend you never said this to me and…”
“I don’t want you close to Chris, don’t you get that? I don’t want you around any one of us!”
“Why? It’s not like have done something wrong to you or perhaps you are feeling threatened by my presence? Why do you feel that way when I don’t intend to cause any one harm?” Cynthia asked and she looked away guiltily.
“I don’t have to explain myself to you. I just don’t like you and I don’t want you for my grandson, So do me a favour and get out of his life” She said before joining the others.
Cynthia let out a sigh and was about to join them when she got a call, an important one.

^^ Back At The House ^^
“There’s no use keeping me here! I already called Connor and he’s on his way” Tessa told the twins who made it hard for her to leave.
“Can’t you keep it a secret for us?” Fiona begged.
“If I should give in to your pleas and keep quiet, I will only be ruining the two of you which is why I need to tell Connor” Tessa replied while Fiona burst in tears.
“But it’s unfair, the only problem here is that we are siblings! Loving someone isn’t a crime” Fiona added while Frederick held onto her.
“Loving your brother is a crime. A forbidden one at that! And that is why Connor needs to know about it so it can be handled properly” Tessa said and immediately walk past them.
She was almost at the stairs when Frederick caught up with her.
“Please Tessa don’t tell him anything. I promise to stay away from Fiona, if possible I will leave the mansion and stay at a friend’s house if it will put you at ease” he said as he stood in front of her.
“What’s going on?” Connor who stood at the foot of the stairs asked alerting them of his presence.
Tessa was about to go down the stairs when Frederick pulled her back.
Due to them standing at the edge, one of them lost their footing and ended up falling down the stairs.
To be continued ✌️✌️✌️
