(Freya's POV)When I arrived home, I was immediately greeted with a hug by Reece. She looked very worried to see me coming home in such a mess. I put on my jeans and Ash's shirt because my clothes were dirty.She dragged me to the living room and told me to sit down. She didn't give me time to rest because she immediately asked me so many questions that I didn't know which one to answer first."Are you sure he didn't do something bad to you?" she asked. "I should have reported the matter last night to the police. But I couldn't do anything because I was drunk too."I just gently rubbed her arm and smiled at her. I knew how much she worried and cared about me. And I also didn't blame her for what happened to me because this was purely my carelessness. I also didn't know if Ash was also in that bar."Ree, I'm fine. And I'm sure, nothing happened to either of us. So you don't have to worry.""Really? But I still feel worried about you. I'm afraid he'll hurt you again," she said, looking
(Freya's POV)"Let's talk business after we finish our lunch," he said with a grin.I clenched my hands that were in my lap. Rolling my eyeballs lazily as he continued to stare at me with a smile that made me shudder in horror. I felt like he was up to something and it made me feel uneasy without knowing why.I hope I'm not making the wrong decision, but I also can't do anything because he's threatening me. This is all for the sake of Hazel and Violet's peace of mind in living their lives. For a long time, I never let the media cover them. Even if they did, I would immediately tell my lawyer to take care of it and immediately remove it from the news or the internet.As soon as our food arrived, I ate it without saying a word. Because I didn't want to spend more time with him. Because just being in the same room with him makes me feel sick."How have you been?"I immediately glanced sharply at Ash who suddenly asked me how I was doing."I don't think we're that close to asking each othe
(Freya's POV)"No no no!" I screamed hysterically when I was called and told that Hazel and Violet were hospitalized. I was so terrified that my body was shaking violently."What's going on?" Ash shook my body when he saw me in a state of disarray. "Freya?""Leave me alone!" I snapped as I swatted his hand away. Right now Hazel and Violet are more important to me than taking care of Ash. I ignored him and quickly opened the door, but he immediately pulled my body away."Freya, I'm asking you! What's going on!" he shouted in annoyance.I was angry and I punched him so hard in the face that he winced in pain. Even under these circumstances Ash didn't care about the people around him and was so selfish."Please stop bothering me!" I shouted hysterically. I couldn't control myself until I was crying tears I couldn't hold back.I pushed him roughly and quickly opened the door. I ran without paying any attention to Ash who was shouting for me."Freya!"My mind was in turmoil. My vision was
(Freya's POV)I gasped in shock when I heard what he asked me which made me stand up and push him away from the children. I didn't want them to hear what Ash said and think that what Ash said was out of place."What did you say?" I asked in a hoarse voice. I pushed his chest roughly. "Don't just talk in front of my daughters, Mr. Ash!""I'm just asking to see if they're my kids!" he exclaimed, pointing at Hazel and Violet. "Because they're just like me, allergic to shrimp."I froze in shock. My lips feel dry and my tongue feels tongue-tied. I struggled to speak because I was so shocked. My hands were shaking and I was wringing my clothes with a sense of agitation.I shook my head in frustration. No, Ash must not know or suspect that they were his children. If Ash knew, he would definitely do something bad to them. And I don't want that to happen, I have to make sure they stay safe."You seem to have lost your sanity. There are many people who are allergic to shrimp and not just you!"
(Ash’s POV)For some reason, every time I see Hazel and Violet, I feel that they are similar to me. I don't know if this is just my feeling, or because I feel hopeful that Freya never aborted her pregnancy. Or rather, if only I had never told her to abort her pregnancy. My child will definitely be as big as them.I felt my chest tighten every time I saw Hazel and Violet. There is a feeling of affection, but also guilt that I feel for having feelings like that for Freya and Henry's children. It makes me feel like I hate myself for having any concern for them.And when I saw them sick today, I felt so worried. Even though I could only watch from a distance, I realized how uneasy I felt about the condition of the two of them. And what surprised me even more was that they were allergic to shrimp just like me.Of all coincidences, why did they have to have the same allergies as me? That makes my suspicions about them even higher. I believe that there is a possibility that they are my child
(Freya's POV)I felt so angry and sad about what Ash had done to me. In a public place, he dared to forcefully kiss me like that. I couldn't hold back my sadness until I cried in Henry's arms when we had already left Ash.I sobbed as I hugged him tightly while Henry kept patting my back, trying to calm me down. I was still in shock, unable to believe that Ash hadn't changed at all. I thought he would act sane in public, but it turns out he's just as crazy. I will never forgive him for treating me like a woman with no self-respect. I wouldn't let him treat me like a toy."Are you feeling better?" asked Henry as soon as he let go of my hug.I nodded and wiped away my tears. "Yes. Thank you for coming to help me, Henry. I don't know what would have happened to me if you hadn't come in time," I said in a trembling voice."Shh... Don't cry anymore. If at any time he tries to do something bad to you again, call me immediately. Do you understand?""Yes." I breathed a sigh of relief. I felt l
(Henry's POV)My hands clenched into fists as I watched Ash forcibly kiss Freya. My head is boiling with the feelings of jealousy and anger I feel every time I see them together. And I felt like beating Ash to a pulp for daring to touch Freya.For more than four years I've kept my feelings for Freya to myself. I didn't dare tell or show my love to Freya because I didn't want our relationship to break down. I didn't want Freya to shun me because she didn't feel the same way about me.That's why I've been secretly watching Freya and always by her side, doing everything for her in the name of friendship. Yet without her knowing, I've loved her for a long time. Reece knew about my feelings for Freya, but I asked him not to tell her because I didn't want our relationship to be strained or awkward.As long as I was by Freya's side, I didn't mind if she only thought of me as a friend or family. The most important thing is that I'm still together with Freya and have a good relationship. Being
(Freya's POV)"Sweet dreams, my darlings," I say as I kiss Hazel and Violet's foreheads in turn."Sweet dreams too, Mom!"I had just given them medicine for their allergies and told them to rest early. I left their room and decided to go back to mine.Some time ago Henry came here again to buy cake for Hazel and Violet. They were very happy and devoured all the cakes he gave them. We also chatted for a while before leaving.I'm very grateful to Henry for being so understanding and loving to Hazel and Violet. I hope that our relationship will last forever."Ah, it's been a tough day," I said as I lay on the bed. Everything happened at once and made me feel so tired. I feel like my life has become a mess since Ash came back into my life.Even though I've tried hard to forget him, it seems like he has no intention of making me live comfortably in my new life. But I won't give in to him either. Because I don't want to be trampled on again by a man who doesn't even appreciate my feelings a
