Just as Jonas carefully lifted Alva into his arms, Freya following closely behind, Spear stormed out of the house. His face was twisted with anger, and his voice was sharp as he yelled, “Hey! Where are you taking my sister? Put her down and mind your own business!”

Jonas turned slowly, his gaze icy. He recognized Spear as the one who had appeared at the balcony the moment Alva jumped, and figured out that she must have been running from him.

As Spear approached, reaching out to grab Alva, Jonas’s patience snapped. Without hesitation, he lifted his foot and delivered a powerful kick to Spear’s chest. Spear stumbled backward and hit the ground with a grunt while Jonas continued to his car.

At that moment, Tiril, Alva’s adoptive mother, rushed out of the house. Seeing Spear rise angrily, ready to fight Jonas, she grabbed his arm, holding him back. Her expression shifted as she got a good look at the man holding Alva. Her grip on Spear tightened.

“Spear, stop!” she hissed. “Do you

    Jonas walked back into the room and sat down beside Alva's bed. She was awake now, her eyes narrowing the moment she saw him. “Listen to me, Jonas Stanford,” she said through gritted teeth, her voice low but full of venom. Jonas raised an eyebrow. “Why are you so angry? I saved your life.” “You may have saved me,” she replied, her tone sharp, “but that doesn’t change the fact that you’re a monster. I loathe you.” He chuckled softly, leaning back in his chair. “Your act would be more convincing if you hated my money too.” Her brows furrowed. “What?” Before she could say more, Freya, who had been pacing nervously in the corner, stopped in her tracks and coughed. Guilt flashed across her face. Without a word, she turned toward the door, intending to slip away unnoticed. Alva shifted, attempting to sit up, but Jonas stood abruptly and leaned over, scooping her up into his arms. “What do you think you’re doing?” she yelled, struggling against him. “Put me down, right now!”

    After leaving Alva’s room, Jonas trudged to his own and sank onto the edge of his bed, letting out a frustrated sigh. "She just gets on my nerves," he muttered under his breath, running a hand through his hair. As the sharp edge of his anger dulled, his thoughts wandered back to the first time he had seen Alva. It was at the supermarket. She had looked up at him with eyes so full of innocence, so unguarded. His lips twitched into a faint, bitter smile. “Back then, I thought I’d fallen for her,” he murmured. “It was insane, but my heart fluttered like I was some lovesick teenager.” The memory made him chuckle—a sound tinged with both amusement and resentment. "Who would’ve guessed that same girl would turn out to be such a pain? And now she’s in my house. Life’s got jokes." His mind shifted to the day he and Freya had gone to her house. The image of her leaping from a three-story building flashed vividly in his mind. He could still feel the jolt of panic that had seized him t

    Alva ate her dinner quietly, her mind swirling with a storm of thoughts. "I have to get out of here," she thought, gripping her fork tightly. "But how? How can I leave without a phone or any way to contact someone for help? Freya hasn’t brought my phone yet. What’s taking her so long? Did she not find it, or is something else going on?" The frustration and helplessness simmered within her as she stared blankly at her half-eaten meal. Meanwhile, at the bar, Jonas was trying to figure out if Alva was the one who had used his card to buy a car. He called his maid, Bree, who had just entered Alva’s room to check if Alva was home. When her phone rang, Bree quickly answered, "Mr. Stanford, is everything okay?" "Yes," Jonas replied curtly. "Is Alva in her room?" Bree glanced at Alva, who was sitting stiffly on the bed, and replied, "Yes, she’s here." Alva raised her eyebrows, silently asking Bree what the call was about, but Bree ignored her. "You know what," Jonas said sharp

    Thea Lunde burst into the living room, her face flushed with excitement. Her brothers, Nikolai and Vidar, looked up from their animated conversation on the couch, surprised by her sudden entrance. “What’s the matter now?” their grandfather asked, sitting across from them, his eyes narrowing as he studied her. “I found her!” Thea announced, her voice brimming with triumph, though she was slightly out of breath. “Found who?” her mother, Karina, asked, pausing in the doorway. She had just come home and looked tired but curious. “The girl!” Thea exclaimed, her tone sharpening. “The one who puked on me and ran away!” She turned to her brothers, her expression demanding. “Nikolai, Vidar, you have to do something. Look! I even got her details!” She thrust a piece of paper toward Nikolai, practically shoving it into his hands. “Her name is Alva Berg. She’s dirt poor, adopted by some nobodies. And yet she had the audacity to humiliate me!” Nikolai, the eldest and a doctor, frowned as he

    Marianne sat quietly, her eyes fixed on Alva. Her expression gave nothing away, but there was a weight to her silence. After a moment, she reached for her phone. Without a word, she turned on the recording and spoke softly, her tone kind but probing. “Go ahead, dear. Tell me how you and Jonas met and everything else that happened.” Alva hesitated, her hands fidgeting in her lap. “Okay, ma’am,” she said finally, her voice barely above a whisper. Meanwhile, Karina and Mr. Lunde watched with growing discomfort as Tiril launched into a vicious rant about Alva. Her words were sharp and cruel, laced with an anger that felt almost personal. Karina leaned closer to her father-in-law and murmured, “Can you believe this? We don’t even know her, and yet she’s spewing all this hatred about her own daughter. Even if Alva is adopted—or even if she’s done something wrong—what kind of mother tears her child apart like this?” Tiril stepped out of the room to take a phone call, giving Karina

    Karina stared at the DNA test result in her trembling hands, her eyes blurring with tears that spilled down her cheeks. She read the words again and again, each time feeling the weight of disbelief and joy crash over her. Her breath hitched as her voice broke. “My daughter… She’s really my daughter. Dad, we found Selma. We found our Selma!” Her father-in-law’s eyes glistened as he nodded, his voice trembling with emotion. “Yes, Karina. After all these years, we’ve finally found her.” Relief and happiness softened the wrinkles of worry on his face, the long years of searching seemingly melting away in that moment. Karina pressed a hand to her chest, her heart racing. “I need to tell her brothers! They’ve been waiting for this news as long as we have.” Her hands shook as she fumbled to pull out her phone, dialing her eldest son, Nikolai. Nikolai answered almost immediately, his tone laced with concern. “Mom? Why are you crying? Is everything okay?” Karina’s voice cracked as she

    Jonas gripped the steering wheel tightly as he drove, his jaw clenched. He had listened to the full audio recording Alva had sent his mother, and his anger boiled over. With a frustrated growl, he snatched his phone and tossed it onto the back seat. “Liar,” he muttered under his breath, his voice filled with venom. “No matter what you say, Alva, I won’t fall for your manipulation again.” As he pulled into the driveway, he spotted his mother and Alva sitting together on the porch. His frustration flared, and he slammed the car door shut before storming toward them, his voice loud and accusatory. “Mom, don’t listen to her! She’s lying. I’ve heard everything she said. Don’t believe a word of it!” Alva shot up from her seat, standing on one foot, her eyes blazing with anger. “I haven’t lied about anything!” “Oh, really?” Jonas snapped, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “Didn’t you claim you returned my debit card? Where is it then?” Alva crossed her arms, her posture defiant. “I

    On the way to Jonas’ company, Vidar made a quick phone call to one of his contacts. After a brief conversation, he ended the call and turned to his mom. “Jonas isn’t at the company anymore,” he said. “He’s gone back to his house. Let’s head there instead.” Meanwhile, Freya arrived outside Jonas’ house. She stood near the gate for a while, clutching Alva’s phone tightly in her hand. Her thoughts raced as she tried to compose herself. "This timing feels so wrong," she thought, glancing at the house. But Alva is here, and I can't hide the truth from her anymore. Finally gathering her courage, she stepped inside. Jonas was about to call his assistant to get Freya when he spotted her walking toward the patio. A sharp smirk appeared on his face as he muttered, “Speak of the devil. Now all your lies will be exposed, Alva.” Alva, now sitting squinted at him. She ignored his words, determined that Freya’s arrival would prove her innocence. She believed her best friend would back he

    Alva sat by the window, the golden sunlight pouring over her as she gently caressed her rounded belly. She had just registered her marriage to Jonas a week ago in a quiet ceremony, their rings simple yet meaningful. Though their wedding celebration had been postponed until after the baby’s arrival, her heart was full. But today, she was restless. “I miss Mom,” Alva said softly, turning to Jonas, who was busy arranging a small pile of baby clothes they had recently bought. “I want to visit her.” Jonas looked up with a gentle smile, crossing the room to kneel in front of her. “Then let’s go,” he said, taking her hands in his. “You’re her pride and joy. I know seeing you will make her day.” As they prepared to leave, Alva suddenly gasped, clutching her stomach. A rush of water spilled onto the floor. “Jonas…” she whispered, her voice trembling. Jonas was at her side in an instant. “Your water broke,” he said, his voice steady despite the panic rising in his chest. “It’s time.”

    A few days after the press conference, Jonas stood outside his parents' home, holding Alva’s hand. The house was an impressive estate surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant flowers, reflecting the warmth and grandeur of the Stanford family. Jonas turned to Alva with a reassuring smile. “Nervous?” he asked, squeezing her hand gently. “A little,” Alva admitted, glancing at the imposing double doors. “Meeting your parents officially is a big deal, Jonas.” Jonas chuckled, leaning in to kiss her forehead. “Trust me, they’ll love you as much as I do.” As they stepped inside, Alva was immediately enveloped in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Jonas’s mother, Marianne, rushed forward, her arms outstretched. “Alva!” she exclaimed, pulling her into a heartfelt hug. “It’s so wonderful to see you again. Jonas has told us so much about you.” Alva smiled, touched by Marianne’s warmth. “Thank you, Mrs. Stanford. It’s an honor to meet you again.” “None of that formality,” Marianne said, waving he

    A few days after the workshop ended, Alva returned home with Vidar and Jonas. The trio’s spirits were high, their bond stronger than ever after the eventful days they’d shared. But their cheerful mood took a sobering turn when they learned about Thea’s actions. Sitting in the living room, Karina explained everything; Thea’s betrayal, the recording, and her banishment to Australia. Alva’s face showed a mix of disbelief and relief. “She really tried to have me killed?” Alva whispered, shaking her head. “I can’t believe it.” Vidar clenched his fists. “It’s a good thing she’s gone. If she weren’t, I don’t know what I would’ve done.” Jonas nodded in agreement. “Your mom handled it well. And I think Australia is more mercy than she deserved.” Karina sighed. “It wasn’t easy, but it had to be done. I couldn’t risk her harming you, Alva.” She reached out, taking Alva’s hand. “You’re safe now, and that’s all that matters.” That evening, Alva and Vidar invited Jonas to join them for dinner

    As Nikolai held Freya in his arms, steadying her after her fall, their eyes locked. Time seemed to slow, the patter of rain on the windows fading into the background. Freya’s lips parted slightly as she gazed up at him, her cheeks flushed, her breath soft and quick. Neither of them spoke. They didn’t need to. The intensity in Nikolai’s gaze was mirrored in Freya’s own, and before they realized it, their faces inched closer. Their breaths mingled, and then their lips met in a soft, hesitant kiss. The kiss deepened quickly, fueled by the tension that had been building between them. Nikolai’s hands slid to Freya’s waist, pulling her closer, while Freya’s fingers curled into his shirt, clinging to him as if afraid to let go. The warmth of their connection surged through them, igniting something neither of them had felt before. Freya tilted her head, giving him better access as Nikolai’s lips moved with hers, their passion growing. As Nikolai guided her onto the couch, he looked into

    As Karina watched Thea being dragged away, her resolve only hardened. "No matter what happens, I will never let you come back, Thea. I’ll make all the necessary arrangements to ensure that even if I’m no longer alive, you’ll never harm my daughter again," she thought coldly. Meanwhile, at Fjord Garden, Freya sat in the now-empty restaurant, her heart sinking with each passing minute. The rain continued to pour, and the once-romantic atmosphere now felt gloomy and cold. Glances from other patrons made her feel self-conscious, as though they were silently judging her for being stood up. Her phone had lost service, and she couldn’t reach Nikolai. Frustrated and embarrassed, she decided to leave. She walked out into the rain, clutching her small bag as she began looking for a cab. In her haste, her phone slipped out of her hand, splashing into a shallow puddle. "Damn it," she muttered, crouching to pick it up and wiping it off with her damp sleeve. The rain soaked through her clothes,

    The next day, Nikolai couldn’t keep the grin off his face as he prepared for his second date with Freya after work. He had spent the entire night replaying moments from their first date, unable to think of anything else. Every time her laughter echoed in his mind, he found himself smiling like a fool. At the same time, Freya was already dressed and ready, her excitement bubbling over. She had chosen a light floral sundress that flowed beautifully around her, paired with simple sandals and a small clutch bag. She couldn’t stop thinking about Nikolai, her heart racing every time she imagined his smile or the way he had looked at her the night before. As Freya waited, her phone rang, and she picked up immediately when she saw Alva’s name. "Alva!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement. Freya shared everything about her date with Nikolai, thanking Alva profusely for making it possible. Alva, equally thrilled, recounted her own dramatic day at the auction, sharing every de

    Vidar folded his arms, staring at Mina with a mixture of disgust and disbelief. His voice was cold as he spoke. "You know, Mina," he began, "after I found my long-lost sister, I was looking forward to introducing her to you. I thought you two could be friends, and maybe there was even a future for us. But you revealed your true colors before it ever came to that." Mina opened her mouth to speak, but Vidar raised a hand, silencing her. "I’m happy I realized your disgusting nature before I gave you a status in my life. Don’t ever come near me or my sister again," he said firmly. "And, oh....get ready to explain yourself in court for defaming Alva." Mina’s face paled. She turned to Emilie, who was just as shocked as a lot of people to learn that Alva was Vidar’s sister. Mina dropped to her knees, tears streaming down her face as she begged. "Vidar, please, I’m sorry! I love you so much. I thought Alva was your new girlfriend. I was blinded by jealousy. I would never have done this i

    Mina’s hands trembled as she rummaged through Alva’s purse, her desperation growing with each passing second. She overturned every pocket, searching thoroughly, but the bracelet was nowhere to be found. Her heart raced, her mind spinning in disbelief. "I put it here!" she thought frantically. "I know I did!" In a final act of desperation, Mina turned the purse upside down, spilling its contents onto the floor. A few items fell out: some feminine wipes, a sleek black card, and a few dollar notes. The crowd watched in stunned silence as she crouched down, furiously pawing through the small pile. Alva stood above her, her gaze calm but piercing. She folded her arms, watching Mina humiliate herself. As Mina’s panic grew, Alva’s mind flashed back to the bathroom. She recalled how, through the mirror, she had seen Mina slip the bracelet into her purse while pretending to adjust her makeup. Alva had already been on guard, having noticed Mina’s earlier conversation with Emilie. Jonas had

  • EX-WIFE'S REVENGE   DATE

    Nikolai arrived at Aurora Bistro, a picturesque lakeside restaurant with a rustic charm. The bistro’s warm glow under string lights reflected on the tranquil water, creating an intimate and magical ambiance. He parked his car and walked toward the entrance, his nerves tingling with anticipation. As Nikolai entered, his eyes landed on Freya, who was already seated at a table near the window overlooking the lake. The sight of her momentarily took his breath away. She wore a deep emerald green dress that complimented her fair complexion. The soft fabric flowed effortlessly, cinching at the waist and flaring slightly at her knees. Her hair was styled in loose waves that framed her delicate features, and her light makeup highlighted her natural beauty. Freya’s bright smile, however, was what truly stole Nikolai’s attention. He approached the table with a grin. “Freya, you look absolutely stunning. I feel like I’m at a gala instead of a dinner date.” Freya blushed, smoothing her dress
