Chapter 67- Ladies‘ retreat
“Do you have to go? I’ll miss you,” Aaron said as Tessa massaged his legs.
They were at her apartment, in her bedroom. Aaron hade to have his morning dose before she left
for her trip. After they made love, Tessa decided to massage his legs since she would be out for two
days.

The trip was for Tessa to celebrate herst days as a single woman with herdy friends. There were
four days remaining until the wedding. She and thedies were going for a retreat at one of Aaron’s
resorts. Then they woulde back on the day before the wedding and have a bachelorette party.
“I’ll miss you more, babe. But I want to do this… just hanging out with the girls with no worries before I
completelymit myself to you,” Tessa replied.
“You will still go on girls‘ trips after we get married. I won’t be a mean husband who will stop you from
hanging out with your friends,” Aaron promised. “I want you to be happy. You will never feel trapped or
get bored.”
“I know… but this is different. These are myst days as a single woman. I’ll be a married woman in
four days. I have to say goodbye to singlehood.” Tessa said. She put Aaron’s leg down and nced at
him, “It’s another way of me celebrating having found the love of my
life.”
Aaron smiled. His heart swelled at Tessa’s words. It felt good to know that he was the love of her life
just like she was his world.
He reached his hand forward and stroked her hair lovingly. He remarked, “Go and have fun, my love. I’ll
see you at the altar.”
He helped Tessa pack up clothes for her two days retreat. When he saw Tessa pack her royal blue
bikini, he quickly said, “Are you going to wear this bikini at the beach?”
“Yes. I might want to swim because it’s hot,” Tessa replied innocently.
“No. You can’t wear a bikini. It’s too tiny and revealing. It will show all your remarkable curves and
wless skin. I’m the only one who can see your gorgeous body,” Aaron said, removing the bikini from
the suitcase.
Tessa chuckled and put the bikini back into the suitcase. “Do you want me to swim in leggings and a
sweatshirt? As long as you know that I’m yours… there’s no need to be worried about other men
seeing my body at the beach.”
Aaron pouted as a wave of jealousy red through him. He couldn’t help it. He was a
possessive and territorial man. Knowing other men will be staring at his woman in her sexy bikini made
his blood boil.
However, he couldn’t stop Tessa from doing what she wants. He sighed and relented, saying, ” Ok. But
I won’t be held responsible for the eyes that I will gouge out for looking at what is mine.”
Smiling, Tessa approached Aaron and wrapped her arms around his neck. She nced into his eyes
andmented, “You’re so cute when you’re jealous.”
Aaron coiled his arms around Tessa’s waist and arched an eyebrow at her, “Cute? I thought I was
manly.”
Tessaughed and replied, “Yeah… you were smouldering just now. I promise to send you photos of
me in my bikini.”
“Oh, now you’re talking,” Aaron smirked and pulled Tessa closer. He slid his hand to her ass and
squeezed it. His shaft twitched as if in response. “I would love to see those sexy photos.”
The couple smiled at each other and shared a soft kiss. Aaron pulled away and said, “I meant it. I’ll
miss you, beautiful.”
After they were done with the packing, Aaron carried her suitcase out and Josh came forward and took
it from him.
The kids and Elena were in the living room.
“Daddy, are we staying with you while Mommy goes on a trip with Aunt Michelle and Aunt Celia?”
Reagan asked.
“Yes, son. I’ll take you to meet your grandmother. She would love to know that the family has grown,”
Aaron responded as he smiled at him.
“We have another grandmother?” Reagan inquired with wide eyes.
“Yes. She’s my mother but she’s in heaven, watching over us.
“Oh, just like Mommy’s Daddy? Are they both watching over us?” Reagan continued to ask as he
looked between his parents.
Tessa smiled and ruffled his hair before she replied, “Yes, they are. And they are so proud of all of you.”
Aaron picked up Wi and Nia and said, “Let’s escort your Mommy and then we can go for ice cream.”
“Yay! We love ice cream!” The kids squealed.
The resort they were going to was two hours from town and thedies wanted to drive themselves
there.
Aaron drove Tessa to the meeting ce where Ce and Michelle were already waiting in a cherry–red
convertible car.
“Please take care of my bride,” Aaron told his sister seriously, “The bodyguards will follow you behind
for more protection. Call me immediately if anything happens-”
“Ok. Can you chill? She will be safe,” Celia replied while rolling her eyes.
Aaron turned to face Tessa and pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly. “Take care. Call me as
soon as you reach. Don’t forget to send the pictures.”
Tessa hugged him back and promised, “I will.”
She then hugged the triplets and said, “Mommy will be back, ok? Be good and don’t give your father
trouble.”
“Ok, Mommy. Bye–bye!” The kids responded.
Tessa smiled and gave them each a kiss on the cheek.
“That’s not fair… you didn’t kiss me,” Aaron said and Tessa rolled her eyes but there was a smile on
her lips.
She walked towards him and leaned up to kiss his cheek and remarked, “For someone who got an
overdose this morning, you surein a lot.”
She was referring to how they had two rounds of hot passionate sex and he kept asking for
more.
“You know I can never get enough of you, love,” Aaron replied with a side smirk crossing his lips.
He waved at Tessa as he watched the car disappear. His heart suddenly felt empty and a sigh escaped
his lips.
‘I miss her already.‘
“Daddy, don’t worry. Mommy wille back. She can’t abandon us,” Reagan said when he saw the
sad look on his father’s face.
The girls rushed to him and hugged his legs. Nia looked up and said, “We are here, Daddy. Don’t be
sad.”
Aaron smiled and carried the girls. He then looked at his son, saying, “Of course, I’m happy because
you guys are here with me. We shall wait for your mommy to return. Now, let’s go get that ice cream!”
“Yay!”
Meanwhile, the trip to the resort went smoothly. Thedies had fun on the road trip. They chatted about
this and that and took photos of the scenery.
When they arrived at the resort, Celia looked at the beach and said, “Wow! I love the smell of the sea.”
She parked the car on the side of the road and thedies ran to the beach after taking off their shoes.
They could feel the sand under their feet as they ran towards the sea.
“I can’t wait to jump into the water and swim until the sun goes down!” Tessa squeaked.
They stood facing the sea, letting the sea breeze hit their faces. The sun was high up in the clear sky. It
was a warm sunny day. Whooshing sounds could be heard from the waves of the sea and many
people were enjoying themselves, swimming, surfing and sunbathing.
Celia spread her arms wide and screamed, “I’m free! I’m divorced!”
Tessa followed. She spread her arms wide and yelled, “I’m getting married!”
They both looked at Michelle, waiting for her to say something. However, her next words shocked
them.
Although Michelle didn’t spread her arms wide, she looked pissed as she screamed at the top of her
lungs. “I’m pregnant!”
At the same time, a group ofdies were sunbathing on some sun loungers a few meters away from
where Tessa and her friends were shouting while facing the sea.
The group ofdies happened to hear them. One of them threw a dirty look their way and remarked,
“OMG. Who are those women and why are they acting like a bunch of bumpkins?”
“Just ignore them. Perhaps they’ve never been to such a resort before. Don’t let them spoil our
mood.”
It was Jane Colton who responded. She was a business administrator and she used to work for the
Wentworth group before she stopped and moved to another city.
Tessa suddenly turned her head and Jane immediately recognised her. She sat up straight and took off
her shades to take a better look. “Oh. My. God!”
“What is it?” Jessica Scott, Jane’s best friend, asked. “Do you know them?”
Jane scoffed as she stared at Tessa mockingly. She replied, “I only know the one with dark hair. She
used to be my former boss‘ mistress and was chased out of thepany the moment. his true love
returned to the city. I can’t believe she still has the balls toe to her former lover’s resort. How
shameless.”
Jane Colton had been away from the city for three years and only returned to have a high school
reunion with her friends. Thus, she had no idea about the changes that had happened
and how Tessa was Aaron’s fiancee.
Chapter 67- Ladies‘ retreat
She smirked and got to her feet, saying, “How dare she show up here when she’s just a mistress and a
substitute? I’m going to put her in her ce.”
It was because Jane was jealous of Tessa back then when they were colleagues that she still held a
grudge against her. Tessa was the only woman close to Aaron and he favoured her a lot. She was
untouchable.
Deep down, Jane wished she was the one who was Aaron’s mistress. Then her life would have
changed for the better.
“Um… I don’t think you should provoke her. Have you seen her clothes? They are all from expensive
brands. She might have a powerful backer,” Jessica reasoned.
Janeughed and said. “She’s just a sugar baby. Do you think a man would want to defend his
mistress? Perhaps she found a married man this time. He wouldn’t bother about her. This is the only
opportunity I have to put her in her ce.”
She watched as Tessa and her friends walked back to their car. Anger rippled through her when she
saw the expensive luxurious car they were driving. ‘Tessa, do you think you’re still Mr Wentworth’s
mistress? How dare you act all high and mighty?‘
Wanting to teach Tessa a lesson, Jane took out her phone and called her rich boyfriend, Hunter. “Baby,
are you free? Can youe to the resort? I met an old friend and just remembered that she bullied me
a lot back then. Please,e and help me put her in her ce.
When she cut the call, a vicious look crossed her face. She nced at her friends and said,
and find out what room they are staying in. Our vacation is about to get more
Let’s go
interesting.”
