POV(KAIDEN),
I arrived too late to work and I felt uneasy about Freya's Absence, maybe I should have used nicer words. I had never seen her this strong, she would always cry her eyes out. Alexa met me at the door to my office and she had a very sad expression like she had some bad news. "You just missed your flight sir," she announced and I sighed, "a Ten million dollar contract down the drain, oops!" I Said and stormed into the office with a smile. "Sir is everything okay?" She asked and I felt too excited that I finally got a burden off my shoulders. "Why do you ask?" I asked her and sat at my desk. "It's just that I've never seen you smile so brightly unless you won a contract," she said and I realized I was still smiling. "Oh really? I guess you're right then, but something good just happened to me." I said before switching on my computer screen. "Do you mind sharing sir?" She asked and took a seat. "I'm not sure..." I said and I tried to keep my smile on as I typed away on the keyboard. "Please tell me." She pressed further and I stopped typing. "Did something happen between you and Mrs Freya?" She asked and I knew she already got a hint of what happened. "We got a divorce," I said and I saw her expression change from a curious look to a shocking look. She looked like she received a bad news from her home and I never really thought she would be this shocked with the way she paused. "You divorced Mrs Freya? But.... Why?" She asked and I spotted tears gathering in her eyes. What is going on? What does Freya do to everyone around her? The maids were crying at home too. Even the driver shed some tears. What did she do to everyone? "Since when did you start questioning my decisions?" I shot back at her with a changed expression. "It's just that.... Why now? It's been 3 years, 3 big years, why did you decide to cut it off now? Isn't that unfair to Mrs Freya?" She asked and I got really mad that my own secretary is against my decision. "Freya and I were never Inlove to start with and I don't think you're in a position to care about my personal life. 3 years is nothing compared how much I needed a child and she couldn't give one, she made her choice." I said and she glared at me with something I call hate. "So that means you can fire me after all these years when you get tired and compensate me? I'm very sorry but I'm very disappointed in you sir," Alexa said and barged out of the office with the files in her hand. I was starting to get really furious and maybe I started to have some regrets which I should not be having, how could everyone fall in love with Freya except me her own husband? How? A knock on the door and Alan let himself into my office before I could respond, he had been out of the country for 2 years and I saw it on the family group chat that he had arrived but I didn't expect him to come so fast. I never liked Alan, infact no one did. We were never on good terms, probably because he was too attached to Freya. He was sent to Hong Kong to expand the family business but that was just a lie I made up to make him stay away from Freya. "Hi cousin," "I would rather you call me Mr Grayson, I'm your boss remember." "How about we drop the honorifics? We're brothers remember?" "You mean step Brother ?" I knew how angry he gets whenever I bring up the step brother issue but this time felt different. He looked calm, like he had something up his sleeves. "Step Brother ? That hurts. Is this how you welcome me after two years of not seeing me? Don't you miss me?" He said it in a sacarstic way. Alan had always been annoying, one that seems to never care about the consequences of his words. "I'm really busy right now. What do you want?" I focused my gaze on him and he smirked. "I heard you got a divorce." The words rolled off Alan's tongue and I got a mini heart attack as I tried to keep a calm expression. Words had gotten out so fast and that was bad, if Alan knew about our divorce then a lot of people already knew about it. "That's not true, where did you hear such horrendous rumor?" I lied and he grinned. "Really? That's really wierd, I thought you guys wouldn't last a year but it turns out you're still together." "Just tell me when you're done with her, I want to get a taste of her too." Alan said, laughing out loud with sadistic pleasure. I clenched my fist as i resisted the urge to punch him right in the face, he knew nothing about the divorce and was just making assumptions. "So what now? You're the CEO but nothing has changed about you, you still look like a dog under a leash. Trying to please everyone, but you know you're never enough." Alan would do anything to piss me off but I always had a way to keep myself under control. "Sir!" Alexa barged into the office with her phone, looking worried. "Alexa I'm busy right now i_" "It's Mrs Freya, she's in the hospital. She's undergoing a surgery right now." I sprung up in my seat and grabbed my coat immediately as I headed out. I misplaced my car keys so I went in Alan's car. My heart raced each second as I thought about what could have happened, she rarely goes to the hospital and she hates surgeries. She had never gone under the knife after one unfortunate incident so she was always scared of anything that involved undergoing surgery. She would be scared, terrified. And there would be no one by herside.My pupils dilated as I glared at my husband's ex wife sitting gracefully on the couch in my living room. My blood boiled in rage but I couldn't do anything about it and just watched her in silence. Perhaps it never occurred to me that my husband's ex wife would come back 3 years later with a toddler and tell him he's a father. I don't even have the chance to be mad at him, she's giving him a child I couldn't give him for three years. He was surprised and angry but in a minute, he was holding the toddler in his arms like he had been expecting it all along without even considering my feelings. At that moment, I felt hurt but the fact that my husband wasn't even looking at me or explaining things properly. made me irritated. "What's going on? Are you just going to stand there or are you going to tell me what's going to happen? You can't just expect me to take her in do you!" I yelled but Kai's expression was not satisfying. "I'm so so sorry Freya, I can leave if you want me to but I
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
POV(FREYA)I woke up and Kai's heavy arm was resting on my waist. I was too angry to feel happy about it. I tried to sit up but his arm was too strong and it pulled me back down. "can't we just stay this way? For a while?" His voice melted my heart but I still protested and tried to sit up, with a little grunt after some efforts to sit up. He made me turn to him and I stared into his metallic eye that seemed to see through me. "What's wrong?" He asked, I just stared at him. Wondering if I should say what was on my mind or just pretend it's all fine like I've always done. But his eyes made me want to tear up, his face. The same face I fell in love with, I just wanted to tell him everything that was wrong. His hair was damp and he had a very unusual sweet scent coming from him, the scent from Bianca's child. "Did you stay with Bianca's child the whole night?" His face told me he did but I wasn't willing to try further. "Do you love me?" I knew it was a was a wierd question but
Later that night, I went downstairs to get myself a glass of water. A ray of light was piercing out from Kai's room and the door was slightly open. I wanted to help him close the door when I heard him arguing with his mother, my plan was not to eavesdrop but I couldn't help it when I heard my name. "Mom can you please just stop! I won't stand you talking about my wife like that! Freya is my wife and she still is no matter what," Kai's voice was too loud and I could swear that was the first time I saw him raise his voice at his mom. "And what is the meaning of a marriage that isn't fruitful? When is she going to give you a child? Do you think I would still be married to your dad if I never had you and your siblings?" Mrs Seattle protested but Kai wasn't backing down. "Mum it's timing... The timing is just not right, Freya just needs time and... I know she will have her own child." "Can't you see it? I guess you haven't heard the rumors yet, the wife of NEXT IN CEO is barren? B-A-R
POV(FREYA), My eyes flickered open and the sound of the ECG beeping made me realize I was in the hospital, I slowly turned and Kai was holding my hand. "Kai, what's going on?" I managed to sit up and Kai gave me a sad look, I decided not to bombard him with questions so I just waited to hear it from him. "It's okay, I'm glad you're safe. The results will be out in an hour, we'll know what the problem is then." Kai assured me, I looked outside the window and my gaze landed on a pregnant woman sitting on a wheelchair. Life dosen't go as planned, and we can't change it either. The more we put our hope into getting what we want, the more impossible it seems. "The doctor requests for your presence sir," a nurse informed us and I sighed heavily. "Let's go Kai..." "The doctor said only the husband can go in." The nurse said and I knew what that meant, a sign of bad news. "It's fine, I can handle anything." I assured the nurse but Kai's expression said otherwise. We both entered the do
Morning came swiftly and faster than I imagined, I couldn't sleep a wink the whole night. I thought about what would become of me after the announcement of the arrival of Bianca's child is made to the family.I immediately dressed up and headed to work to avoid seeing Kaiden, he is surely not Someone I want to meet after all that has happened.I stood in front of the company with a worried look, I had the urge to turn back and go home. But I got in anyways.It started with a silent giggle from the staffs until it evolved into a loud scream. "Welcome back!!!" They exclaimed and lara(my secretary) showed up with a cake in her hands.We had a little blast before I finally decided to get to work, "where is Damien?" I asked Laura as we headed back to my office."You mean the Vice president? He's In his office." Laura's answer was quick and I rushed to the elevator, leaving her alone at the doorway."Knock knock! Can I come in?" I teased closing the door behind me as I entered the office."
POV(FREYA),I headed home straight after work and thankfully, no one was home. I tried to think of where it all went wrong as I stared at my naked body through the bathroom mirror. The cold water hit my skin and cascaded down my body, I could feel my nipples hardening against the strange sensation as I closed my eyes.I felt a hand grab me and pull me in, I tried to fight him off but Kai was stronger. He kissed my neck first, then he started exploring my body all over with his lips.I almost gave in but the thought of him choosing Bianca over me made me angry, I pushed him away angrily and grabbed my towel.I sat down in front of my bedroom mirror backing him, I hated him at this moment because he knew how much I loved him and how much I'm trying not to let go of him."Can we talk?" Hearing his voice only made me more angry. "yeah sure, let's talk about our marriage. The one that seems or is on the brink of falling apart." My voice was low and calm."It's not my fault Freya, you shou
