POV(FREYA),

I woke up to the smell of pancakes hitting my nose very early in the morning, I slowly sat up and found Kai missing. He wasn't by my side Anymore, a slight giggle escaped my lips as I imagined him making breakfast for me. He has never done it but maybe I suddenly got high hopes this morning since I thought he was making breakfast.

I hurried out of bed and rushed downstairs in my pyjamas. I was shocked when I saw numerous foods displayed on the dinning table and I found myself wondering if Kai really prepared all these.

I followed the smell of the pancakes to the kitchen and Bianca was holding up my kitchen spoon, flipping pancakes in my pot. With my ingredients?

Without thinking twice or considering anyone's feelings. I yelled, "get the f**k out of my kitchen!"

The hot pancakes landed on the frying pan handle and the pan flipped and fell on her leg, it burned her and she yelped in pain. I hurried to her and immediately held up the pan.

Kai rushed into the kitchen and I immediately dropped the pan since it looked like I burned her with it. He gave me a stare that I couldn't read and I hoped he didn't think I intentionally hurt her.

Without asking questions or asking me how it happened, he lifted her up and carried her to the living room.

I tailed behind and watched as he cleaned her burn wounds and sealed it up.

"What did you do that for?" Kai asked, glaring at me and I knew he would misinterpret the situation.

"It's not what you think Kai, I didn't hurt her. Tell him what happened Bianca..." My voice trailed off watching Bianca in disbelief as she cuddled up in Kai's arms and made an uncomfortable look.

"I told you to wait till the results but you had to go ahead and hurt her? Is that how much you hate her?" Kai shot at me and I wanted to yell at him but I knew how that would turn out.

"There's no use in talking to you..." I hissed and hurried upstairs in anger. This felt like a dream and I wished it would all end after the DNA results. Bianca seemed too relaxing for someone who brought in another man's child, like she had a plan.

I felt hurt that Kai was pulling away too quick, it wasn't supposed to be this fast. I had pictured this same moment but in a more proper way.

We arrived at the hospital and they all went to get their blood drawn except me and I felt left out.

In as much as I felt hurt, I had no one to confide in.

"It would take at least 3 business days before the results can be out." The doctor informed us and I felt too uneasy, I thought the results would be out immediately.

Bianca held onto Kai's hand and wouldn't let go, he looked too pleased holding her and I was jealous that he never gave me a chance to hold him like that in public.

"Let me help you with the bag," Bianca feigned concern reaching for my bag and I glared at her.

"Like you can lift your own bag," I shot at her and Kai shot me a bad look.

"Let's go," Kai said and I rolled my eyes. "Ouch ouch!" Bianca winced in pain and made her leg look like she couldn't walk.

"I can't move my legs, help me stand up."

"You can't walk like this, Freya could you please hold Liam for a while?" Kai asked handing me the toddler that looked like he fell from hell(he's very cute)

I hesitated for a while but finally carried him, Kai lifted Bianca like a child and walked out of the hospital without looking at me.

I felt like my whole world had shattered that instant and I wanted to throw this damnn child into the trash can.

I joined them in the car and Kai had me sit in the passenger seat while Bianca sat beside him at the front.

We maintained perfect silence till we got home and I stormed into my room the moment I got home.

I rushed into the bathroom and turned on the shower on my head, I wanted to cool off and relax.

I sat in the filled tub and cried my heart out, I thought I had built a family. But it turns out the family I dreamt of building would only exist in my dreams.

I heard a knock on the door and I immediately wiped my tears and turned the shower off.

Kai entered the bathroom before I could prepare myself. He stared at me and I immediately avoided his gaze.

"Are you okay?" That question made me want to hit him hard in his groin, like how the f**k does he expect me to be fine after all that happened?

"I'm fine, I just wanted to have a bath." I lied without looking at him even though I knew he was staring right at me.

"With your clothes on?" He said and I realized I was seating in the water filled tub in my dress.

"I jus-just I forgot," I lied and stepped out of the tub with my dress dripping with water.

"Is this about Bianca?" Kai asked and I bit my lips. He would never understand me, not in this life.

"You don't understand Kai, the point is..." My words were cut off when we heard Bianca scream so loud from downstairs.

Kai rushed out of the bathroom without looking at me, it was as if I was saying something meaningless.

I felt a sharp pain pulsated through my belly and I held the shower stand as aid so I wouldn't slip.

I stayed in the bathroom for one hour with the hope that Kai would return, but I was wrong. He never came back.

I had my bath and went directly to bed, hoping this would all end when I wake up in the morning.

    CHAPTER 048HER WAR, OURSPOV (FREYA)The soft sound of a zipper broke the quiet.I stood by the doorway, watching her. Eliza sat on the edge of the bed, folding her clothes with a kind of quietness that needed to be studied. Her fingers moved slowly, as if dragging the moment out, as if each garment was one more memory she had to tuck away.“You’re awfully quiet,” I said, forcing a smile. “You sure you don’t wanna go to the beach one last time before we leave this island?”She glanced at me, lips curling faintly. “I would love that,” she said. “But I’m leaving anyway.”My heart dropped.“Eliza…”She didn’t stop packing. Didn’t even look up. Just kept folding, as if my voice hadn’t even registered.I turned, storming into the living room where Alan sat on the couch, elbows on his knees, head bowed like a man in prayer.“You’re just going to let her go?” I demanded.He looked up, weary. “No. I’m not.”“Then stop her!” I snapped. “Do something, Alan! She’s.... she’s packing like she’s w

    CHAPTER 050HOME SWEET.... HOME!POV(FREYA)She didn’t hesitate. She kicked the door open with both feet and lunged.The man staggered backward with a grunt, hands flying to his face as Eliza’s fist connected with his jaw,hard. His back hit the corridor wall, and he let out a strangled yell.“What the hell. Elizaveta?! It’s me!”Lucien.My stomach dropped.Eliza froze mid swing, eyes wide as if waking from a fever dream. Her fists were still clenched, her breathing sharp and ragged. The adrenaline that had surged through her veins now made her legs tremble.Lucien cupped his face with one hand, wincing. “You’ve got to be kidding me. I’ve been running around this damn train trying to find you, and I get sucker punched for my efforts?”Eliza blinked, confused. “I… I thought…”Alan appeared behind him, eyes sweeping over both of us, then Eliza. His shoulders sagged with obvious relief.“I thought I lost you,” he said, his voice tight and low. “What happened?”“She thought I was someone e

    CHAPTER 049MESSY DIARESPOV (FREYA)Just a few minutes before we were supposed to leave, I found Eliza sitting cross legged on the floor, hunched over a thick, battered looking bundle of notebooks bound together by string. Her pen was moving in slow, deliberate strokes. Her lips were pressed into a thin line, eyes low, hair falling messily over one shoulder.“Hey,” I said softly, crouching beside her. “What’s that?”She looked up, startled, then quickly closed it. “Nothing. Just something I write in.”“A diary?”Eliza wrinkled her nose. “No. God, no. I wouldn’t call it that. Diaries sound… organized. Pretty. This is just messy. Pages of spilled guts and moments I didn’t know where else to put. I guess it’s more like… a long, angry draft of my brain.”I tilted my head. “Do you write about everything that’s happened to you?”“I’ve had it since I was eight,” she said simply.I blinked. “You’ve been writing in it for twenty three years?”She smirked. “Makes me sound ancient, doesn’t it?”

    CHAPTER 047THE WEIGHT OF WHAT I HELDPOV ( FREYA)The sky was pale with the blush of early light as we stepped into the garden behind the villa. The grass was still damp, and the leaves glistened with dew. Eliza wore one of my cardigans, sleeves rolled, hair tied in a messy braid that still somehow made her look ethereal. I trailed beside her with a small wicker basket tucked under one arm, brushing past the rosemary and mint.“This,” she said, crouching by a patch of lemon balm, “is the secret to surviving Russian winters. You boil it with chamomile and honey, add a little ginger. Clears the lungs, calms the demons.”I smiled. “Sounds powerful.”“It has to be. You ever try calming a Russian grandmother with a cold?” she teased.I laughed softly, kneeling beside her as we began snipping at the leaves in quiet tandem. Birds sang above us, and for once, the world felt... still.Then her voice cut through it, unexpected and feather-light.“Can I ask something?”I glanced at her. “Of cou

    CHAPTER 046THE BATTLES WE FIGHT INSIDE OF USPOV (Freya)Lucien burst in like a storm that forgot it was invited to dinner.His voice came loud, too loud, cracking through the walls.“She’s gone.”Alan and I jolted from the bed, still tangled in heat and breath and something unspoken.“Who’s gone?” I asked, sitting upright.“Eliza,” Lucien said. “She’s not in her room. She’s not anywhere.”Alan was already halfway out the door before I’d found my robe.We sprinted. Through the halls. Down the stairs. Every door flung open, every corner checked.I don’t know what I expected to find. A note? A broken window? A quiet goodbye wrapped in crimson?But what I didn’t expect… was the scent of ginger and steam.We turned the last corner into the kitchen hearts pounding, panic in our bones and there she was.Eliza.Standing barefoot on the tiled floor, hair pulled into a messy braid, flour on her cheek, shaping steamed buns like she wasn’t the most hunted ghost in this villa.She looked up at u
