005

I could not believe my ears.

“How did you end up with that low life prick?." Hunter asked and I was suddenly brought back to reality. Although I was still excited about my current position... I could feel the hate I had for Cassian.

I would make that bastard pay, it was like a mantra repeating in my head. I would make Genevieva pay for betraying me. I would make Cassian see hell for throwing me to rot in jail. The entire family must pay for everything they had been doing to me since I became a part of that family.

When I woke up the next morning, I had a smile on my face. My room was huge and since natural light was flooding in, I could see how beautiful the room actually was.

I got down from the bed and felt an ache in my belly, I was hungry. I patted my belly that would soon be swelling with my child.

I would never let Cassian come close to this baby. Never. I would protect and love the baby with everything I had.

I made my way downstairs where I found Hunter working on his laptop.

He hasn't seen me yet so I stopped to stare at him. He was handsome, I could see his muscles bulging from the shirt he was wearing. His dark hair fell in curls over his forehead.

His hair looked so soft and silky that I thought of running my fingers through it... Before I could finish the thought, his head turned in my direction and he smiled softly at me, his eyes eere twinkling with something I didn't understand.

I froze.

My heart started picking up a faster pace. What is happening?

He shut his laptop and stood up.

“Good morning, Freya."

I almost forgot how tall he was, his voice was a deep, rich baritone that echoed inside me.

I walked forward, trying to get a hold of myself. He's just a man, even though he's built like a god

He looked down at my belly and he took a step closer.

“I know about the baby," He started. “I followed you to the hospital yesterday morning."

“You followed me?"

He nodded a little.

“I have been following you for a while now. I want to make something clear—"

Before he could finish his statement, a man in an expensive suit walked into the house.

“Good morning, Mr Hunter."

Hunter took my hand, I felt a jolt of electricity run through our entwined fingers.

What the hell was that?

“Freya, this is your family's lawyer. He's here so that you can sign the will."

I felt a pang of excitement but it was quickly followed by something else, I was nervous.

I sat down on the dining table and Hunter sat beside me, he was so close to me that his knees touched mine. He placed a protective hand over my hands that were clasped together on the table and gave it a small squeeze, slowly, I lifted my eyes to meet his.

“I understand that this can be a lot, it's okay... You can take your time if you want, maybe sign it after breakfast, the lawyer can wait."

“No... I'll do it now."

Signing the documents was step one of getting my power over Cassian and my family. My grandfather's wealth would surpass theirs combined, Cassian was rich but not even close to my grandfather who was a multi billionaire.

My plan of revenge starts now.

I lifted my chin and squared my shoulders.

“I'll sign it now."

“Good girl." Hunter said.

I felt heat spreading from my neck to my cheeks.

He pulled a suitcase and fished out some documents, oblivious to the effects his words had on me.

Get it together, Freya.
