(Ash’s POV)“Ash…”I was surprised when I returned to my apartment and saw Stella waiting for me at the door. With a worn face, she squatted down.“What are you doing here?” I asked in a cold tone. I have made it clear to Stella that I no longer want to have any relationship with her after all the crazy lies she told me. This concerns the child and Stella had the heart to do it to me. “Didn't I tell you not to appear in front of me again?”"Ash, please..." She immediately stood up and grabbed my hand, but I brushed it off roughly.“Enough of fooling me again, Stella. I'm fed up with all the things you've done to me, the lies about my grandmother's death, even Raon. Everything you do is outrageous!” I snapped, losing my control. I stared intently at Stella who was sobbing in front of me and for some reason, seeing her cry no longer touched my heart. I felt like her tears were just a lie.“I did it because I have a reasonー”“What reason?” I asked interrupting.“Because I love you. Don't
(Freya's POV)Everything was more chaotic than I expected. Since that night, Henry has approached me more intensely. He picked me up to go to the office together, and during lunch, he would come to my office and invite me to have lunch together, then when I came home, he would contact me and make sure he could take me home safely.For a week, Ash kept trying to do the same thing. I almost went crazy because of the clash between them and the intensity of hatred in both of their eyes every time they saw each other and came face to face. It makes me feel anxious and guilty at the same time. I don't want an argument, but I also can't decide who I should choose even though my heart is more inclined to love Ash. “Ash, why did you come here without telling me?” I immediately got up from my chair when Ash entered my office, without warning."I came to see you," he said. It walked towards me. Hugging me so tightly that it made me wonder why his hug felt so sad."Did something happen?" I asked
(Freya's POV)"Ash, where are you going to take me?" asked me in a low voice.Ash invited me to go with him in a knee-length, sleeveless black dress that he prepared for me. He said that it was a group dinner that he had prepared especially for me, but since we were driving through the bustling and sparkling city streets, Ash still didn't want to tell me."Secret," he said, that was the third time he answered my question with the same word. "We'll be there soon." He grabbed my hand and stroked it. Smiling softly at me before he turned his attention back to staring at the road.“Okay, I give up,” I said. He kissed the back of my hand while grinning with satisfaction.“You are very beautiful today. Makes me more excited," he said, making my face blush even more. My heart always beats every time Ash praises me.“Thanks,” I said, awkwardly.“I hope you will like what I have prepared for you, Freya.”“Well, I'll know once we get there,” I answered with a small smile.For half an hour, Ash
(Freya's POV)“T-This can't be…” My voice trembled, and even the hand that was holding my cell phone fell to my side. I collapsed on the floor, stricken with fear, panic, and worry that felt like hell.“Freya! What happened?" Ash knelt down in front of me, looking shocked and worried. His grip was felt on my arm, but I could only cry with my face ashen. “Oh, shit… Freya… say something, don't scare me!”“Hazel and Violet…” my voice caught in my throat. I looked at Ash with tears in my eyes while my hands fidgeted nervously with the cuffs of his jacket sleeves. “They… disappeared. Someone brought them from home after I went with you and the servant said that they haven't returned until now."W-What?"“I-I have to go…. I have to find them, Ash. I can't live without them! If something bad happens to them… I will never forgive me!” I shouted, starting to become hysterical. I shook Ash's body with a burst of worry.Ash immediately hugged me tightly, calming me down. “Calm down… calm down… I
(Freya's POV)Stella's teasing laughter made my blood boil."Well... well... Were you that panicked after finding out your children weren't home, Freya?" Stella asked so calmly that I heard her on the other side of the phone.I squeezed the phone with shaking hands. “Stella… If my children are hurt, I swear on my life that I will never forgive you. "I'll make sure I repay you for all the bad things you've done and you'll get it many times over," I hissed as a warning.Stella laughed loudly again.“Are you threatening me?!” her voice became loud with obvious anger. “Listen, Bitch… before you destroy me, I will destroy you first. You know... I could immediately eliminate your two sweet daughters so that you would lose them forever...""No, no! Please… what do you really want!” I shouted hysterically. “Why do you keep bothering me? I never bothered you, Stella…” I swallowed hard.“Never bothered me? With you in this world, it has really disturbed my life!” she shouted, "if you weren't ar
FREYA 'S POVNine hundred million dollars was definitely not a small amount, but Freya managed to collect all the money she had. In fact, she was forced to ask for help from Henry and Reece, even though she knew she shouldn't.Initially, Henry tried to give other suggestions to solve this problem, but Freya insisted that Stella would definitely do something bad if they called the police.That night, they go to an old building, where Stella kidnapped her children. Freya's heart was beating fast the entire journey. Anxiety and fear continued to haunt his mind as the car drove away from the crowd, to an area where there was no CCTV.As soon as they arrived, they got out of the car. Ash immediately approached Freya with full alertness."You should wait in the car," Ash said, in a firm tone.Freya shook her head. “No, I want to come with you. I want to make sure that my kids are OK.”“Freya... Stella wants me to come personally with the money. If she finds out you came along, she might get
(Freya's POV)“Hazel… Hazel… no, please hold on!!” I shouted hysterically.I hugged him so tightly that my body was shaking violently. Blood was flowing from his head and my palm was wet with his blood. Fear seemed to sink me into deep darkness.“Hazel!!” Ash's screams echoed there, kneeling next to me, seeing what state Hazel was in when Stella had hit her and ran away.Ash immediately called an ambulance and a few minutes later they came, took Hazel, and gave her first aid. I sat with my hand still holding Hazel's unconscious hand.I kept crying all the way to the hospital while Ash followed behind in his car and Violet with him.“Hazel… my darling… I'm sorry Mommy. It's all mom's fault. Please… keep holding on and never leave mommy.” I squeezed my hand tighter into Hazel's tiny hand and it was covered in blood. My tears broke even more. "Don't leave Mommy..."It only took a few minutes until we arrived at the nearest hospital there. The nurse immediately took Hazel out of the ambul
(Freya's POV)I have been waiting for more than an hour and there has been no news from the operating room. The door was still closed and the red sign was still on. I waited anxiously with Henry while Reece took Violet home. It was Reece's idea because it wouldn't be good to let Violet be there after what happened to them before. And I entrusted Violet to Reece.“Don't worry,” Henry said, holding my hand. We sat in the waiting room feeling restless from earlier.I glanced at him, nodding.Not long after that, the doctor came out in a hurry. And I immediately ran over to him."How is my child's condition?!" I shouted while shaking his arms."We are still trying to do our best and we need your help," he said, taking a deep breath. "Are you both parents?" he asked later."Yes, I'm her mom," I said firmly."So he is the father?" he asked, looking at Henry."No, I’m not," answered Henry.He shook his head. “No, we need his biological father. But if you belong to the same group as the patie
