Chapter 3 HEALTH CHECKUP

Tessa’s POV

“SHE HAS PROPOSED THE MARRIAGE PROPOSAL OF HER BROTHER, MR. ANDREW JACK TO TESSA.”

“IF EVERYTHING GOES WELL, YOU TWO WILL GET MARRIED IN A WEEK IN A PRIVATE CEREMONY.”

BOOM

The news dropped on me like a bombshell, I was completely taken back by this piece of information. There were many emotions I was feeling at this moment. It was a shock, surprise, joy, astonishment, and disbelief.

No one knows about it, but I have had a secret crush on Andrew since I was 10 years old, he was 18 when I saw him for the very first time. He was walking beside his sister, frightened and sad. It was the first time that he appeared in the company after his parent’s death.

My father told me that Andrew was the closest with their parents and also when they died he was also in that car, but luckily only he survived.

After their death, Miss Swan took over the business as the older child but the legal owner of the company is still Andrew because Miss Swan was an illegitimate child of their father, Mr. Leo Jack.

But the rumors are to say that the bonding between these brother sisters is unbreakable, their love for each other is more than blood-related siblings. For Andrew, his sister, Anna Swan is everything and he didn’t even hesitate once to hand her his position and everything that ever belonged to him.

Anna is his world and everyone knows about it. And after Anna took over the company, the first thing she did was change the company's name and logo as before Jack Company is now called Jack and Swan Company. (J&S Company)

“Everything goes well?” My mother’s voice brought me back to reality, I looked at her standing behind my father with a confused look on her face.

‘Why doesn’t mom look happy?’ I thought looking at her face that didn’t show a single trace of happiness.

“Dany, Tessa is getting late, let her go first.” My father said and then looked at me, “Come on, Tess, be good OK...” My father pushed me out of the house and I then found myself sitting in a luxurious car, black, clean, tinted windows, and highly expensive, the whole area was filled with the strong perfume of Miss Swan.

I was feeling panic rising in my body and the silence in the car wasn’t making me relax either. I need an escape, escape from this truth for a while.

“Are you okay?” I heard a voice and then turned in that direction, the woman has sharp features, her eyes are the same as the color she is wearing at the moment, Olive green, her makeup was flawless or maybe she has such a smooth skin that she looked too beautiful and fascinating that I wasn’t able to even blink at once.

Miss Swan showed a gentle smile and with a look of concern, she was inspecting me.

“Uhm.... y...e...s...” I stuttered, my voice was too hoarse. I blinked and lowered my gaze in embarrassment. What the hell is wrong with me?

She passed me a bottle of water quietly, and I muttered a small thank you in a low voice as I started gulping down the water. I don’t know why but my heart was thumping loudly in my chest, my breath was quickening, and I am still in a daze from the news of my marriage that my father broke a few moments ago.

It’s not that I am not happy, I am super duper happy, I even want to do a happy dance, but this seems too good to be true for me. Our status doesn’t match, Andrew doesn’t know about me, neither I know much about him. I had dreamed of my marriage with him but I had just dreamed about it because I knew that in reality, it would never exist.

Our marriage, my fairytale wedding, Nothing...

But as now the things are starting to get real, a deep fear has started pressing my heart down and instead of being so happy and joyful I still felt something wrong and weird in this marriage.

I looked at Miss Swan from the corner of my eyes and her straight face didn’t give me any good hope at all but she is too damn good, her posture of sitting, and her aura gave me goosebumps. I sighed involuntarily and that caught her attention, I looked away embarrassed. ‘F**k, don’t embarrass yourself, what if she will change her mind..?’

That thought really haunts me, No... No... No... I can’t let Andrew go away from me, No...

Never... It’s been eight years since I have been secretly in love with him and when God has given me a chance I would try my best to not slip it away because of my stupidity.

I took a deep sigh, calming my thumping heart and wild thoughts. The car stopped and here my showtime began. A man in a black suit who looked like Miss Swan’s bodyguards opened the door for me and nodded at me respectfully.

My eyes widened in confusion, Miss Swan had brought me to a hospital, “Why?”

I looked at her in confusion but she didn’t seem to care to tell me anything as she walked towards the main door and I had no choice but to follow her quietly.

Who brings their future sister-in-law to the hospital and that too early, what does it all mean?

And how does it even make sense? I was occupied by my train of thoughts and didn’t even realize that I am now sitting in a room now with Miss Swan and an old lady.

“Come, Tessa.” The old lady said and took me out of the room. We walked through several doors and then finally stopped. “Here, go and pass the urine in it.” The lady handed me a jar and pointed toward the washroom.

‘What the hell?’ I wanted to ask aloud but nodding my head I quietly walked towards the door with the jar in my hand.

After handing her back the jar, she took me to a room and asked me to lay down, and then she started drawing my blood, I closed my eyes in fear of needles and I heard her chuckling at my actions.

“You need to be brave, there is a lot a mother has to bear.” She told me and I opened my eyes immediately looking at her face, confused, “Mother?”

She didn’t respond but just smiled and shook her head. After she pulled out the syringe from my arm and put on the bandage, I asked her quickly, “Why did you draw my blood?”

“Oh, this… Nothing dear. This is just for the health checkup… We are just checking if you’re healthy enough or not.” She told me again with the smile plastered on her face, with the corner of my eyes I caught her name Badge-Dr. Leen Jun.

She got busy with my collected blood in small jars while I lay quietly on the bed. After completing her work, she stood up and wore a pair of new gloves in her hand, “Tessa, kindly take off your panties.”

I looked straight at her, puzzled.

“Just a routine checkup, dear, it’s OK.” She told me and then I had no choice as I took off my panties with an embarrassed face and again laid down.

“Open your legs wider,” She commanded and I did with a blush of embarrassment all over my face.

She put something on her fingers, a transparent gel, I think, and then she inserted her fingers into my V. Yuck, I squealed from the pain and my ass automatically shifted up from her action but still, she didn’t withdraw her fingers, and after inspecting what she needed to.

She finally withdrew her fingers, “You can wear it back now,” She said as she discarded the gloves into the waste bin and I with a frown of displeasure wore the panties again.

F**k, that was cruel.

With slow steps, I followed her back. My V was burning with pain and I mentally cursed the doctor multiple times. We walked through multiple doors and finally reached back to the room where Miss Swan was already waiting for me.

“All done, Miss Swan.” The doctor said to her and Miss Swan nodded her head in response, and the expressions on their faces made me more confused.

Was it really a routine check?
