His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 13

Chapter 13

The night before the hearing, while Tessa was in the shower, the sound of something shattering in her bedroom startled her.

She quickly rinsed off, threw on her pajamas, and hurried to investigate.

The bedroom was empty, but the floor was covered with broken ceramic shards.

Tessa immediately recognized the broken pieces as her mother's ceramic doll.

She and her mom had painted it together at a DIY store when she was 12 years old. It was a light blue

Cinnamoroll figurine with their names carefully engraved on the back.

As she looked at the shattered fragments, a wave of anger surged through her, consuming her completely.

"Who did this?" Tessa roared, storming out of her bedroom.

She pounded on the door to Zachary's room across the hall.

"Zachary! Wendy! Which one of you went into my room?"

Zachary opened the door, his eyes clouded with annoyance. "What now? It's the middle of the night. Can't a person get some sleep?"

Tessa's chest heaved with anger, her eyes blazing. "Zachary, were you in my room?"

"Who else would have gone into your room?" He frowned. "I've been in here working on a contract this whole time."

"If it wasn't you, it must've been Wendy," Tessa snapped, turning and heading straight for Wendy's room without another word.

Wendy's room was at the end of the hall.

Seeing Tessa storm off in anger, Zachary hurried after her. He was worried something might happen.

"Wendy! Open the door!" Tessa shouted, her voice trembling with fury as she kicked it open. Zachary was taken aback.
