(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
(Freya's POV)My jaw hardened as he smirked after I slapped him. Why did he have such an innocent expression on his face? As if he didn't care about my feelings and the people around me that he had hurt."Don't you have a heart? Or do you just like to see me and the people around me suffer?" I asked in a hoarse voice. I clenched my hands into fists."Why did you slap me? You should be scolding your husband because he asked me to meet you here!" shouted Ash."I don't care," I replied coldly, "I just want you to stay out of my life and never bother us again! I'm sick of hearing all the nasty words you say to me. A slut? Yes... let's just say I was a slut. That was before I realized that I had loved the wrong man! Now I have a great husband like Henry and I'm happy." I swallowed my saliva with difficulty. My eyes stare intently at Ash."Freya," Henry called. He pulls my hand away from Ash. It seemed like he was afraid of Ash doing something bad to me."This is my final warning, Mr. Ash K
(Ash's POV)I was so angry and unacceptable. She slapped me in front of people and made me feel like the worst man in the world when it all started because of her. If I hadn't ruined my life, I wouldn't have ended up like this.She even deliberately kissed Henry in front of me as if I would be jealous of her intimacy and happy life with her husband.Fuck!I will not forgive her attitude to me tonight. If she is trying to push me away, then I will do the exact opposite. I will make sure her life is ruined, including her relationship with Henry. Because she has to feel like me. Can't live together with the woman I love, nor should she live happily with the man she loves.It would have been even if I had seen Freya destroyed and crying blood. And before I could realize that, I wouldn't be able to live in peace."It's me. Prepare the cooperation agreement documents for the Dental Science company. Our company will be cooperating with his company from today and don't let Stella know about i
(Freya's POV)"Get away from me!" I shouted, loudly. I tried to push him.My eyes widened in surprise as I heard someone knocking on the door, I kept trying to push Ash to let me go."Are you out of your mind?! Let go of me, you bastard!" I shouted. I didn't want my employees to see it and think badly of me.Right at that moment, the door opened and my body stiffened with fear and panic. I kept pushing Ash, but he grinned with satisfaction as he saw my face turn pale.Instead of letting me go, he deliberately kissed my lips. I was frightened and panicked when I saw the door open. Just then, I saw Henry standing in the doorway with a shocked expression."Damn it, what have you done?!" he shouted angrily.I pushed Ash's body roughly and wiped my lips. I ran straight to Henry who wanted to beat Ash up. I held both his hands, trying to calm him down."No, Henry. Don't," I pleaded in a trembling voice. I gripped his wrist tightly.I didn't want another fight, especially not in my office. I

(Freya's POV)That evening, Henry came to the house to pick us up for dinner. Henry had booked a fancy, expensive restaurant in the center of town. Hazel and Violet couldn't wait to get to the restaurant and stayed in the car the whole time. They sang as Henry played their favorite songs.We sang along with joy and smiles that couldn't be separated from us. We were like a happy little family. And suddenly I thought of how if Ash and I loved each other, surely our marriage would be as beautiful as what I see today.However, Henry is not my husband, but he is like family to me. My daughters have also considered Henry as their father because, since childhood, Henry has replaced Ash as their godfather.After arriving in front of the restaurant building, Henry immediately invited us to one of the tables that he had reserved. It was a restaurant on the top floor and we were seated next to a glass wall so we could see the view of the city full of lights from above only.Hazel sat with me and
(Freya's POV)"Henry," I whisper while trying to push him away and turn my face away. But he pulled my body until my body hit his broad chest. He pressed down with all the arm strength he had.And I was surprised that Henry had a muscular body that exceeded my expectations. He was so gentle and masculine, so soft and caring, but when he looked at me with such a serious expression on his face. I knew he had a slight image of a dominant man who doesn't like to be rejected."Freya, please..." he whispered in my face. He kept looking at me while I didn't dare look at him because I didn't know what to answer.Over the years we've gotten to know each other and become friends. I never imagined that a day like this would happen to me. I always thought that all of Henry's kind and considerate gestures were purely because we were friends and he cared for me like family.But now, all of a sudden he confessed his love to me and made me feel so shocked that I didn't know how to react. Especially a
