Chapter 59- Stabbed
The police were closing in on Nora, ready to cuff her and take her away. Panic crept into her as she shot daggers at Tessa with
her eyes, intense anger and hatred brewing within her.
‘No. This is not the end... I can’t go down like this!’ She exclaimed in her mind.
Where did it go wrong? Tessa was the one who was supposed to be in trouble. Aaron was supposed to hate her and get her
arrested!
Nora couldn’t accept that things had turned out this way. All this time, she hadn’t tried anything intense to fight for Aaron’s love
apart from dropping hints at Aaron here and there. How could she fail in her first attempt to teach Tessa a lesson?
She breathed heavily, her stomach twisting violently, knowing if she went with the police, she would never get released. She
would end up rotting in jail while Tessa would have the time of her life with the man she had fallen in love with.
Aaron was unforgiving and often released his wrath on those who crossed him. Nora knew that she was doomed and there was
no escaping for her.
Her eyes
lowered to a pen on the table and she acted quickly. Before the police could get to her, she rushed to the table, picked up the
pen and lunged at Tessa violently.
“Die, bitch!”
Nora was aiming the sharp part of the pen towards Tessa’s throat. She had a vicious look on her face and her whole demeanour
was oozing with murderous intent.
If she was going to spend the rest of her life in jail, she might as well make it worth it. Those were her thoughts as she threw
caution to the wind and decided to end Tessa’s life.
Aaron saw her coming, his heart jumped to his throat and he immediately covered Tessa with his body just as Nora brought
down the pen with sheer force.
A stabbing sound echoed around the room and the police restrained Nora while she screamed hysterically.

“I’m not going to jail! I’m innocent! She should be the one who should die!”
Nora’s eyes became rounder when she realised who she had stabbed instead of Tessa. “No! Aaron! I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to. It
was meant for her!”
Everything happened so fast. Tessa gasped, her breath quivering when she heard a low grunt from Aaron. She stilled for a
moment, trying to process what had just happened. It was only when she saw the pen sticking out of Aaron’s shoulder that a
scream tore through her throat.
“Aaron! You’re hurt!”
Aaron shook his head and said, “I’m fine.”

However, the white shirt beneath his suit began to soak with his blood. Fear twisted Tessa’s stomach and she screamed, “Call an
ambulance!”
Enock quickly called 911 while Nora was being dragged out of the conference room after being
cuffed.
Aaron and Tessa didn’t move until a medical team came over and performed first aid on
Aaron. Tessa went with them to the hospital. Her heart was in her throat as she waited with bated breath for Aaron to undergo
surgery.
“Why is it taking so long? Is everything ok?” She asked a nurse who came out of the operating

room.
“Don’t worry, ma’am. They will be done soon,” the nurse responded.
Tessa waited for close to an hour until Victor came out. She rushed toward him and inquired, How is he?”
Victor said, “Normally a pen wouldn’t cause much damage but Aaron was stabbed with full force. Nora managed to get one of his
arteries so he bled a lot and he needs a blood transfusion. I’m going to check for blood at the blood bank-”

“I can donate. I’m O negative,” Tessa replied anxiously. “I’m a universal donor.”
“That’s good. You need to go through some tests and then if all is well, you can do the transfusion,” Victor suggested.
He led her to the room where a variety of tests were done. Tessa finally donated her blood when her results didn’t have any
issues and Aaron had a transfusion.
When Aaron opened his eyes, Tessa was seated by his bedside, holding his hand.
“Hey, babe. How are you feeling?” Tessa asked the moment she saw that he was awake.
“What’s with those watery eyes?” Aaron arched an eyebrow.
Tessa sniffed and blinked back the tears that were threatening to fall. She replied, “I was worried about you. How could you just
jump in like that without regard for your life?”
“I did it to save you-
“You could have died! Do you have any idea how scared I was? You were stabbed and you were lucky she missed your neck!”
Tessa finally cried.
“Hey... I’m ok. To be honest, she didn’t stab me that hard,” Aaron said, trying to soothe Tessa.
“Please, don’t put yourself in harm’s way again. I need you. Our children need you,” Tessa pleaded as she held his hand tightly.
Aaron smiled. Butterflies erupted in his stomach and despite the wound on his back, happiness crept into him.
He squeezed Tessa’s hand and remarked, “Do you know how happy that makes me feel? Hearing that you need me... I thought
I would never get to hear you say
that.’ ”
They glanced at each other silently. It was as if they could communicate through the emotions. swirling in their eyes.
Tessa especially felt overwhelmed. Being loved by someone who could put her above everything else was a blessing.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and the moment Tessa called out, the triplets rushed to Aaron’s bedside when the door
opened and worriedly asked him, “Daddy! What’s wrong? Why are you sick again?”

They began to cry and Aaron felt bad. He glanced at them and said, “Don’t cry. I’m fine.”
He looked at Tessa with a questioning gaze and she sighed, “They deserve to know that you’re in the hospital, babe.”
“Daddy, is your shoulder in pain? I’ll blow it for you,” Reagan offered, looking at the bandage around his father’s shoulder.
Aaron chuckled and ruffled his son’s hair. “I’m fine, son. I’m not in pain anymore. The nurse gave me an injection to stop the
pain.”
Willa glanced up at her father with watery eyes. She said, “Did you cry when you got an injection, Daddy?”
“Daddy doesn’t cry, sweetheart. Come, sit with me,” Aaron replied.
Tessa helped the kids to sit on Aaron’s bed and they spent time talking to him and asking him. questions about his wound. After
a while, Aaron told Tessa to take the children home.
“I can ask Enock to take them,” Tessa suggested.
She wanted to stay and take care of Aaron. He got hurt because of her and she didn’t feel it was right to leave him alone.
However, Aaron shook his head. He revealed, “I want to talk to Inspector Michael and the kids. need one of us tonight. You can
come back later after putting them to sleep.”
Tessa realised that Aaron was right. She nodded and walked over, pecking his lips and saying, ” I’ll see you later, then. I love
you.”

Aaron grinned. His heart soared to the moon. He grabbed Tessa’s wrist and requested, “Say it again.”
Tessa rolled her eyes and giggled. She asked, “Will you always tell me to say it again each time I say I love you.”
“Yes. It feels like a dream and I just want to make sure it’s real,” Aaron responded.
3/5.
Tessa smiled. She leaned down and pecked his lips, once and then twice before repeating, “I love you, Aaron Wentworth.”
“I love you most, Tessa,” Aaron replied..

A few minutes later after Tessa and the kids left, Inspector Michael went into the ward and took Aaron’s statement. When he was
done, Aaron asked, “Have you found anything about the stalker or Harry?”
Inspector Michael shook his head and replied, “Not yet. Since he hasn’t contacted Miss Hilton recently, it’s a bit hard to track
him.”
“Ok. But is it safe to do an event? Like a wedding?” Aaron inquired.
Inspector Michael smiled knowingly. He said, “It is not safe. But if you’re in a hurry to marry, we can provide your family with
enough protection. When do you intend to have your wedding with Miss Hilton?”
“As soon as Tessa agrees to marry me,” Aaron responded with a determined look in his eyes.
He couldn’t wait to start a family with the woman of his dreams.
“Are you going to help me if I tell you what you want to know?” Serena asked the man who had come to visit her at the
correctional facility.
“That depends on how useful your information is, Miss Winston,” the man responded with a
side smirk on his face.
The man was none other than David Kingsley, the CEO of Royal Electronics.
A week had passed since the smart TV design theft incident. David had declared that he had bought the design from someone
and had no idea it was stolen from Aaron Wentworth.
However, the humiliation that came with that announcement made hatred brew within him.
He wanted to make Aaron suffer and since he couldn’t be dealt with in the business world, David found a way to get back at him.
There was little that the public knew about Aaron’s personal life so David had to visit Serena Winston so that he could learn a
few things about his rival that would make his revenge
easier.
“Ok. I’ll tell you everything I know about Aaron and Tessa. But you need to promise that you will get me out of this hellhole. I want
you to find a way to release me from prison,” Serena presented haughtily.

David let out a chuckle and stroked his chin as he stared at Serena through the transparent glass partition between them. He
nodded and said, “Sure. I’ll use my connections to free you.
4/5
Tell me what you know about Tessa Hilton.”
Serena smiled and proceeded to tell David everything she had researched about Tessa. In the end, she remarked, “She’s such a
vixen. Aaron clearly chose me but she trapped him with kids. She stole him from me and I need to make her pay for that. I need
to leave this prison and get my man back. David, you have to help me.”
David had been silent all this while as he listened to Serena. He smirked and arched an eyebrow when she was done and
remarked, “Phew! This is interesting. Who knew Aaron was dumb enough to chase Tessa away because of you? Was he blind?”
Serena glared at David and snapped, “I don’t care what you think. If you’re interested in that bitch, then go ahead and seduce
her. I would like it if she’s far away from Aaron as possible!”
Chuckling, David signalled for the officer standing at the entrance of the prison’s visiting room, saying, “I’m done here, officer. I
would like to leave now.”
“Wait! When are you going to have me released?” Serena questioned when she realised that David was leaving without
confirming when he would help her get released from prison.
David let out a dark chuckle and got to his feet. He said, “Sorry about that, Serena. I think you deserve to be in jail for what you
did. You see, I may be Aaron’s rival but I wouldn’t do anything illegal just to get back at him. His woman, on the other hand, is
someone who’s intrigued me and I plan to make her mine.”
