She took care of the fishermanâs needs and cooked for him during the day.
During the night, she suffered from his brutal abuse, which was exacerbated by his consumption of a mysterious medicine.
The torment would go on throughout the night, haunting Tessa until the fisherman succumbed to a deep slumber in the daylight hours.
Tessaâs frail form, worn and weathered, bore the scars of her harrowing experience.
One fateful day, when the fisherman embarked on his fishing expeditions, Tessa realized her moment had come.
Her body had become disposable, devoid of any worth.
Tessa took advantage of the situation and laced the fishermanâs drink with an excessive amount of the medicine he frequently consumed.
The once-beneficial medicine became a deadly poison.
The fisherman met a violent demise, and Tessa set his dwelling ablaze before making her escape on his boat.
With stolen money in hand, she sought refuge in a discreet inn, veiling her disfigured face in fear and secrecy.
A few days later, news reports stated that the fishermanâs boat had caught fire, and numerous bodies were uncovered.
The police discovered that the fisherman was a murderer.
Days turned to weeks, and Tessaâs meager funds dwindled, leaving her in dire straits without the means to seek treatment for her injuries.
Then, a surprising turn of events unfolded.
Upon returning to her inn room one day, she found a package on her bed containing money, a phone, and Raeganâs address.
When the phone rang, she answered it, and a mysterious voice on the other end offered her a shot at seeking revenge along with specific instructions.
Finally, the day came when Tessa managed to kidnap Raegan.
Unexpectedly, Raegan was saved from Tessaâs clutches when a masked man appeared out of nowhere and successfully took Raegan away.
Tessa failed to end Raegan last time due to those two stupid men she hired.
Unwilling to accept failure again, Tessa was set on finishing Raegan, shifting all her suffering wrongly onto Raegan.
While the masked man was distracted, Tessa seized the opportunity to kidnap Raegan again and securely bound Raegan in this dilapidated building.
This time, Tessa was determined not to repeat her previous mistakes, not granting any opportunities for Raegan to escape a miserable demise.
As Tessa recounted her story, Raegan concluded Tessa herself was to blame for her own downfall.
She had it coming to her due to all her misdeeds.
Raegan couldnât find it herself to feel sorry for Tessa.
Tessa had opportunities to escape, as evidenced by her ability to eliminate the fisherman.
However, she chose to endure the brutal and inhumane abuse out of fear of being caught by the police after running away.
With composure intact, Raegan calmly asked, âWhat do you want?â
âWhat do you I want?â Tessaâs eyes gleamed with malice as she took out a sharp dagger.
âI want you and Mitchel to pay the price!â
Raeganâs heart skipped a beat as she looked at the glinting blade.

She composed herself and asked, âTessa, are you disconnected from reality? Mitchel and I got divorced long ago.
Donât you know that?â
âWhat? You got divorced?â Unaware of this development, Tessaâs surprise was visible on her face.
In an attempt to appeal to Tessaâs sense of reason, Raegan comforted Tessa, âEven if I die, it wonât affect Mitchel in the least.
But if you murder me, you wonât be able to escape from justice.
The police will keep on hunting you down.
â
Raegan added, âYou just want money, right? I can gather the sum for you.
â
In a harsh and rude tone, Tessa shot back, âDo you know what Mitchel said when I asked him for five million dollars for your life?â
Raegan kept struggling to free her hands from the ropes while pretending to be curious.
âWhat did he say?â
