The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 756 Breaking Point.

Huh... Cto think of it, maybe that really was possible.

Stella froze. “Uh...”

Hearing Tessa’s words, she went silent.

What in the world was going on anymore?

Marie had gone mad demanding the Ashen Pact hand Tessa over. Deep down, all she feared was that Victor

would be the one to tear her apart.

And now, Tessa’s worry was that once Marie found out she had been by Victor's side all along, Marie would tear

them apart.

In the end, everyone was just trapped in the sfear.

Stella finally said, “Honestly, you don’t need to worry so much.”

“I'm scared,” Tessa muttered.

“You don’t have to be. I'm guessing this whole thing won't be over for a long while,” Stella said.

Abraham had said Victor was playing a long, calculated gagainst the Ashen Pact.

It was a ghe’d been setting up for years, waiting for the perfect tto strike. If he was finally making a

move, it meant he was planning to bring everything down in one strike.

And a glike that wasn’t going to end anytsoon.

But Tessa’s worry wasn’t wrong either.

What if the gwasn’t over yet, and Marie found out the truth about her and Victor first?

If that happened, Marie wouldn't be tearing at Ashen Pact-she’d be going straight for Victor.

“Relax,” Stella added. “Worst case, my brother will step in,”

There was no way Abraham would ever let Marie and Victor tear each other apart. That much was certain.

Hearing that, Tessa finally felt a little more at ease.

“Right... Mr. Abraham's still there.”

Stella might not be able to stop Maric, but Abraham could. “Then you'd better make sure to put in a good word

for me. Tell him to hold Marie back no matter what... ah!”

She hadn’t even finished her sentence when Tessa let out a sharp scream.

Stella's voice shot through the line. “What happened?”

“Nothing-nothing. Stella, I'll call you later.”

Even as she spoke, Tessa grabbed the hand that had slid around her waist from behind.

Victor.

This man...

She quickly hung up the call.

She tried to turn, but before she could, his mouth pressed hard against her neck. His hands were anything but

proper.

No, not this...

“What are you doing? Stop.”

She spun on instinct, but before she could lift her head, he yanked her tight against his chest.

And in that instant, Tessa felt something different pouring off him.

Cold. Heavy with grief. Laced with anger.

All that turmoil knotted inside him, his body tight and unrelenting beneath her touch.

She struggled lightly and lifted her head. “What’s wrong with you?”

The moment their eyes met, she saw something she had never seen before.

For the first time, Victor's gaze held more than icy detachment. Buried beneath it was a restraint stretched to its

breaking point.

“You-" she started.

But before she could finish, he cupped her face and kissed her.

The kiss was fierce. Scorching.

The grief and anger in him only grew stronger in that moment.

Tessa had meant to push him away. Instead, her arms circled around his lean waist.

Victor towered over her.

In his embrace, she felt fragile, delicate-like a doll in his arms.

It went on and on...

Victor only let her go when her face turned red from lack of air. Looking at her breathless expression, the storm

inside him finally eased.

He let out a low, mocking laugh. “Pathetic.”

Tessa frowned. “What was wrong with you just now?”

Ever since seeing Dale, he had been different. Had Dale said something to him?

Tessa had no connection to Dale-just contempt.

As a father, he wasn’t someone to look up to.

A man like that didn’t deserve the title.

He never should have been one.

Victor pulled her head back against his chest. “Tessa.”

She hummed softly. “What is it?”

“Ashen Pact is going down,” Victor said, his voice low and razor-sharp.

Tessa blinked.

“And your father,” Victor added, his tone colder still, “might die.”

Her heart jumped.

She tilted her face up, meeting his eyes.

They were nothing but ice.

That chill felt like it had been buried

inside him for yearsya(g naw Had

Tessa sniffled softly. “Then his death... would it be by your hand?”

Death.

That word had haunted her for so long.

Her fears had always been for her mother, Diana.

Because of her mother, she had wished Dale dead.

But now Victor was the one saying Dale would die.

“Yes,” Victor answered.

Tessa froze.

Dale would die-and it would be Victor who delivered it.

She drew a shaky breath. “What kind of grudge do you have against him?”

Victor didn’t answer.
