Dear Husband, Please Love Me More
Chapter 1
Tessa Curme was a strong, kind, and hardworking woman. She and her boyfriend of eight years, Mark Crossley, were about to get married, which would have been the happiest day of her life. But the eve of their wedding day turned into a nightmare when she returned to the house she bought for their marriage to pick up the veil she unwittingly left behind.
Mark was on their bed cheating on her with another woman. But what broke her the most was that it wasn't just anyone. He was with her best friend, Martina.
"Mark, what would you do if Tessa found out you were doing me here, in your bed, the night before your wedding?" she heard Martina ask.
"Well, I didn't intend to get married so soon anyway," Mark answered, piercing her heart.
And as if that wasn't enough, she discovered they had been cheating on her for five years and had a three-year-old son.
Devastated, she wasted away at a bar, drowning her heart in alcohol, which might have been a bad idea if it wasn't for a fateful encounter.
Driven by her sorrow, Tessa recklessly cornered the helpless man into a dark room and jumped on him.
"Get your hands off me, woman!" The man warned in a struggle.
"Stay with me, handsome," Tessa whispered sultrily, tightening her hold on him and drawing closer.
Little did she know the man she tried to put her paws on turned out to be the president of LBL Corporation, Phil Scott.
One embarrassing encounter after the other, Tessa and Phil often ran into each other in the most awkward way possible.
However, each time, Phil's interest in her grew. To the point that the line dividing his instincts and rationale was thinning. It was the first time he felt like letting his desire loose toward a woman. Still, something just kept drawing the two apart.
"Tessa. Don't date his kind of man. Because when you do, you'll only end up suffering your whole life. Someone like him is better suited for an arranged marriage. He doesn't seem like the man who'd love a woman with his heart," said her friend, Sara.
Tessa knew her friend was right, but what could she do when he already had her captivated?
Defeated in the trials of the heart, would Tessa find her true love this time?
Be it desire or not. Could there be a chance that Phil might fall in love?
