RankNovel***** +8 Pearls Tessa picked up the phone from the low table beside her it was a specially customized wolf-tribe model Landon had commissioned just for her. The device could convert all call auinto mental waves only perceptible to the owner, ensuring total privacy.
Given the amount of business Tessa handled, having a highly secure phone was essential.
"Tessa, it's me! You really don't giveany face at all. Look what you've reducedto!" Nathan's voice rang out the moment she answered.
Tessa frowned and hung up without hesitation.
Damn Nathan. Like a ghost that refuses to leave.
"Who was it?" Landon, sensing her silence, asked with suspicion.
"Wrong number." Why doesn't that Nathan ever get the message? Was the last lesson still not enough for him? Landon had a feeling she wasn't telling the truth.

Seeing him let it go so easily made Tessa feel a little guilty.
She felt like she was sneaking around behind his back-especially with Nathan's Bloodbound still active inside her. But she wanted to wait until it was broken before telling him everything. He already had enough on his plate; she didn't want to burden him with her mess too.
"You okay?" She didn't want him to be angry... or hurt.
Landon didn't answer directly. He simply pulled her into his arms and pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead. "I'll always respect your choices. But please, if you ever need help-cto me." Warmth flooded her chest. Tessa leaned into him. "I will." Later, after they returned from the hot spring resort, Landon went to his study to handle surgent work. Tessa took the chance to call Nathan/back.
When Nathan saw the familiar number, the corners of his lips curved into a smile.
"Tessa, aren't you being a little cruel? If I hadn't called you, would you have ever called me? Were you planning to forgetaltogether?" It had been so long since he'd heard her voice. He truly missed her.
"I miss you. I want to cto Navoris and see you. Is that okay?" 11:28 Tue, 1 Jul G Chapter 515 One-Sided Obsession In that moment, Nathan seemed to forget everything that had happened before. He sounded like a fover like someone who had simply been apart for too long and needed to see her again.
"Nathan, wasn't the last lesson enough? I told you-don't cinto my life again. I will never love you.
"Why not? I met you first! How could you fall for someone else? Do you know how much this hurtsNathan's voice grew frantic, borderline hysterical.
He met her first-so what? That didn't mean anything anymore.
"Nathan, if you're sick, go see a doctor. But stop having meltdowns at me." With his background, she couldn't exactly kill him outright.
But if not for the lingering Bloodbound... she truly might have.
Her patience was gone.
"You're right-I am sick. Love-sick. I haven't stopped thinking about you since you left." Tessa inhaled slowly, trying to stop herself from throwing the phone.

"Heh. Nathan, stop fooling yourself. If you don't want things end with one of us dead, then stay out of my life." If this continued, one of them wouldn't survive.
"Tessa, are you threateningnow? You know I hate being threatened." Why did she have to be so heartless?
"I'll give you anything you want. Anything. Just cback to me.n Otherwise, I don't care if we destroy each other-I won't let go." Nathan was utterly obsessed. He couldn't tolerate the idea of her being with anyone else.
Tessa scoffed.
There's no point talking anymore. He won't listen, no matter what I say.
Fine. Let him lose his mind. If it really cto mutual destruction- Well, who said she'd be the one to lose? Tessa hung up.
Then she powered on her computer and changed her phone number this tregistering someone else's identity. She didn't want to hear that lunatic's voice ever again.
