Chapter 22

Micahel's POV

"Micahel, I'm so hurt," Emma said, her voice trembling with anger and desperation. "I need you to divorce that woman now! I'll do everything to make sure Grandpa hands over the inheritance to you, even without getting married." Emma said, emerging into the hallway few minutes after Freya had left.

I glared at her, my voice icy and controlled. "Why did you do it?"

Emma's eyes widened, blinking rapidly as if she was taken aback by my response. "What are you talking about, Micahel?" she asked, her voice sugary sweet, feigning innocence.

"Why did you come into my home, invading my privacy by raiding my room and..." I paused, my voice trailing off, uncertainty washing over me. The truth was, I didn't know whom to support in this situation.

"...fighting my wife?" I said. Emma's smile was instantaneous, her eyes sparkling with amusement.

"Your wife?" she repeated, her tone laced with sarcasm. "C'mon Michael, drop the act. She's your wife, but you have none of her bel

    Chapter 23Freya's POVI was surprised by Ambrose's sudden agreement to let me leave after our journey to the station. I had been preparing myself to gather information about him, but it was as if he could read my mind.Sleep eluded me while I was in his home, a place I could only describe as the devil's lair.When I finally returned home, I was looking forward to a quiet nap. However, my expectations were shattered when I saw Emma approaching my room, as if she had some business there. I suspected that Alexis might have helped her get in.Emma's insults cut deep, striking not only me but also my pride. Her words ignited a fire within me, and I could barely contain my anger. I was eager to unleash my fury upon her.She scratched me with her nails, but I refused to let go of her clothing, tearing it down to her cleavage. Initially, I didn't want to attack her, knowing Michael would never take my side over hers.Michael's words still lingered in my mind, "It was never your fight, Emma h

And here's something strange he's never done in a while," Raymond said, pausing as I became curious. "He said he wants to meet his mom. He wants her to cuddle him. He doesn't want the nanny from Australia; he said he needed his mom."I laughed loudly, taking another sip of vodka. "Of course. How do you expect me to believe that crap? How can a three-year-old boy say such weighty words?"Raymond's expression turned serious. "Perhaps if you acted more like a father to the poor child, you'd know what he's capable of. Why do you have to lock him up like that?"My fist clenched, and I closed my eyes, controlling my wrath. "Freya is that little boy's mother," I confessed, not beating about the bush.Raymond tried to deny it, but I cut him off. "You're aware of it. You're just pretending you're not. You're smarter than I am, Raymond."He

  • The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again   Micahel's company is going bankrupt.

    Chapter 25Ambrose's POVI stood confidently, my eyes locked onto the three main investors from Michael's company. "Do you really think Michael's company event will hold without you all?" I asked, my voice firm but laced with a hint of urgency. "Michael's relying on each and every one of you to fund his company. SMITH Tech Inc.'s very existence is nothing without your investment."Their expressions revealed a glimmer of conviction, but I knew I had to push harder. I paused, scanning the room as I addressed each investor by name. "Mrs. Sarah, Mr. Ben, Mr. Roosevelt..." My gaze lingered on each face, ensuring I had their undivided attention."SMITH Tech is on the brink of bankruptcy," I continued, my tone serious and somber. "You won't put all your investment in a place that will yield nothing." My words were so weighty that the whole room was filled with tension.The only woman among them, Mrs. Sarah, became visibly anxious the moment she heard the word "bankruptcy." Her eyes widened,

As long as my boy wasn't hurt.Grandpa had gone for a trip days ago. Hence, I had dodged a way to escape the lunch date that Ambrose had pestered me about. My relationship with Michael hadn't been intimate, but we were far from enemies now. Though we barely talked.I wore a little piece of clothing after a night shower. "Hey, girlie... you're good?" I smiled, staring at Naomi's message. I've really missed my best friend. Going to the cinemas, dates, and even covering each other's shifts.[C'mon, when would you invite me over to your place? Or aren't you allowed to bring in anyone?"] [Of course not. I just felt you wouldn't wanna come. You know... you might actually feel uncomfortable..."] I read my messages and deleted them suddenly. Then I sent another one; [You can come visit after your shift. Since my mom is okay now.][Is

Jason's on his way to deliver your outfit," he added, walking away. I called out, stopping him in his tracks."Mr. Smith, is it really that bad at work?" I asked, and he nodded, not saying a word. Soon, he was out of my room.I placed my hand on my lips, lost in thought. I couldn't shake the scent of his body from my mind. The kiss, though brief, had left a lasting impression. It had been a long time since I'd experienced such a kiss.All Ambrose had ever done was have sex with me, no foreplay or affection. I was determined to make him pay, but to achieve that, I had to do everything in my power to help Michael win over him........ .............. .......Michael's POVI couldn't shake off the thoughts of Freya from my mind.

    Chapter 28Michael's POVI stepped into my office, feeling like the world was crumbling around me. I'd never felt such intense jealousy. While dating Emma, she'd barely given anyone else a chance, making me her number one. But now, I was consumed by envy.I recalled Jason once commenting on Freya's beauty, and then he'd discovered the truth about my marriage. What if Jason was into Freya? "No, I don't think Jason would do that to me," I whispered to myself.I began to feel hot and loosened two buttons on my shirt. Just then, Jason's voice cut in. "Boss, are you in there?"For a moment, I felt a surge of anger towards him. "Yeah, Jason," I replied, trying to compose myself."Your wife is here," Jason said. "Kind of weird she came alone, considering her poor driving skills." I narrowed my eyes, meeting Jason's gaze, and saw a charming glint in his eyes."Yeah, I had to leave before her," I said flatly."So, where will she work from?" Jason asked. "You've actually wanted to secure a part

    Chapter 29Freya's POVHow could one man have two different personalities all in a day? He had kissed me the night before, teased me in the morning, but then he suddenly changed. The height of it all was leaving me all by myself to drive on the highway.I've tried so hard, promised myself not to look at him. After all, he was Ambrose's brother, but I just couldn't stop myself from adoring him. Ever since that night, I couldn't get the image of him out of my mind. But then, I was hoping he'd apologize or bring up excuses for leaving me. Instead, he frowned, like it was my responsibility to be at work."Freya!" I could hear him calling my name. A part of me wanted to go over to him, but I knew he didn't mean it. After all, Emma was present. It was only a part of the game. I walked away after a few minutes."Hey, are you okay?" I asked, fear and shock all over my voice, as a young lady held a phone, running and panting, almost colliding with me."I'm so sorry, Mrs. Smith. But I think you

    Chapter 30 Ambrose's POV I settled into my office chair, rocking gently as I turned to gaze out the window. My phone was pressed to my ear, and a wicked smile spread across my face. "How was Micahel's reaction when he saw the news flashing right into his eyes on his phone?" I asked, my voice dripping with curiosity. The person on the other end of the line snorted. "Micahel felt down, but that wench of a woman is probably with him right now. I don't know why she's working for her husband, but she's probably with him." I smiled to myself, pleased that my plan was going as expected. I had asked Emma to go over to Micahel's company and see his reaction, but I hadn't expected Freya butting in and ruining my plans. I thought their marriage was fake, but now I was beginning to wonder. Was she helping Micahel now? A spark of anger ignited within me. Let's see how far she'll go with her precious son in my hands and her mother's life at the tip of my fingers. The line went dead, and I

    Chapter 101Jason's POVMy heart was deeply hurt as I gave Michael a reassuring look. I couldn't imagine a day when Michael would spend a night in custody. "I'll bring you out of here, I promise," I said to him. "Find Freya" were the only words he told me, and I nodded my head firmly. I couldn't give him a long, lasting stare; there was no way Michael would be guilty of Bella's death, an event that had left him traumatized for five years. I already knew Ambrose had a lot of evidence to make Michael appear guilty, but then, I'll do everything I can to make sure Michael's legal team works hard."Mr. Michael Smith." I turned around immediately as I saw Miss Natasha Choi, Michael's own lawyer, who was prominent for winning many cases. "How's he holding up, Mr. Jason?" she asked, walking towards me as I took a deep breath. "He's been framed. Please, do everything to reveal the truth," I begged, as she nodded, moving over to Michael, whose face had been down. "Michael, your lawyer is her

    Chapter 100Freya's POV"Death?" I asked, the words slowly escaping my mouth as my heart began to pound. Had they found out that my mom possessed one of the Jenkins' property ? I wondered, my heart beating like a drum."Freya, you have to open this door if you want to see Ambrose die. You have to open this door if you want to save Michael," Raymond's voice echoed as I blinked my eyes twice. Was this another part of his scheme to betray us again? No way!"I don't need your help. Without your help, I'll storm into Ambrose's home and find the evidence I need.""Evidence? You think Ambrose would ever leave any trace at his home? You're not that stupid, Freya," he said as I exhaled a chuckle. I had never mentioned knowing anything about the bracelet to him. Somehow, Ambrose would still have it in his secret room, and..."Ambrose has found a way to eradicate every trace. You can't do this alone, Freya," Raymond interrupted my thoughts as I closed my eyes deeply. I didn't trust him a bit, b

    Chapter 99Freya's POV"Billionaire Michael Smith Jenkins: Arrested for Murder of Sister." "Mom, could you read this... or probably my eyes are playing a trick on me?" I stammered, my hand shaking as I managed to keep the phone from falling. "It's been all over the news since yesterday. The country is making a fuss about it. I didn't want to call your attention to it, since all you do is confide in this place without even stepping an inch out," Mom blamed, but I wasn't really in the right mood to argue. I placed my hand on my chest to stop the erratic beating of my heart, at least to calm myself. "Michael is no murderer. There has been some misunderstanding, and I'll prove to everyone that he is not his sister's murderer," I said, determination evident in my voice. I scratched my hair, thinking of possible measures to take."You won't make any irrational moves. This is not your place, Freya. You'll be seen as an accomplice too." "What the hell does that even mean, Mom? Everything

    Chapter 98Michael's POV"What!" I exclaimed, looking into Raymond's eyes, my own eyes filled with anger. I didn't think I'd heard everything Raymond had said; probably I must have hurt my ear during the gunshot that killed the gatekeeper."Michael... I... I'm so sorry, I just..." Raymond stammered."You animal!" I fired, my fist connecting with a loud crunch, sending blood gushing from the bridge of his nose."Michael, you have to calm down," Jason intervened, holding my hand to prevent me from throwing another punch as Raymond rolled, groaning in pain.I took a deep breath, easing my anger and wrath. I watched Raymond groan in pain, and somehow, I felt torn within me. I signaled to Jason to call the medical team."I brought you into my home, hoping you'd become useful, and you chose to betray me this way?" I asked, looking closely at him as his knees remained on the floor."My offenses are punishable by law. I have lots of regrets, but I just want you to give me one last chance. I s

    Chapter 97Raymond's POVI fumed with rage as I watched Ambrose being interviewed. My anger kept boiling over as I watched him, all smiles, speaking about the success of his business. The same business he had ripped people off to acquire more wealth and fame."All this will end soon," I muttered, looking into my cellphone as news began to pop up. These news caught my attention as I saw Mrs. Cooke's picture and the headline: "Billionaire's Maid Guilty of Manipulation and Harmful Mixture, Wanted for a Fine of $12 Million Dollars." I smiled, knowing fully well that I knew most of the hidden parts where she might have kept her head. No doubt, I was going to acquire all the money Michael had placed on her head.But then, the "harmful mixture" caught my attention as I remembered I had once detected something like that. But then, I couldn't get the weight off my mind; I needed to see Michael again. ........... Few moments later"Get out! To think you have the nerve to come here to his offi

    Chapter 96Michael's POVI couldn't wait for Jason to pack the car in the right position after numerous attempts to wake the gatekeeper, who had been dead asleep. I kept wondering why no one ever bothered go lock the gate."How dare she," Jason said, reminding me of the bond Mrs. Cooke and I shared. "You loved and took her as a mother."She was the only one I was close to; I could tolerate her, and somehow, she gave me a motherly feeling. I couldn't figure out why she stabbed me in the back. I had always loved her, and everything was happening like a dream."Jason, I don't know how I'm going to make her face the law. I mean, this is Mrs. Cooke we're talking about...I really don't know what to do," I said, feeling broken. But Jason's face held no emotions as he looked straight into my eyes."You don't care about her anymore. This isn't the time to feel pity for anyone; this is the time to serve justice to whoever needs to be served. Michael," he paused, placing his right hand on my lef

    Chapter 95Michael's POV"You were right to drop a mobile phone with her mom," Jason said, breaking the silence as he drove on the highway. "She might want to reach out to you." I didn't say a word, feeling so broken. Even when I turned to leave, Freya never looked back."She still loves you," Jason said. "You said she never said the last words, right?" He asked, as I let out a cold, mirthless laugh. "Love? What if she was right? Maybe I actually forced myself on her too much. I mean, I didn't think I'd ever been rejected in my life."Jason nodded, his eyes fixed on the road. "She'll come around, I promise. Besides, your marriage with her was probably a way for Grandpa to execute one of his hidden plans.""Jason," I called, pausing as I looked at him, even though he had his total attention on the road. "What's bothering you?" he asked."What do you think about Grandpa?" I asked. "Doesn't it ring a bell? What if he knew everything that had happened in the last five years and...?"Jason

    Chapter 94Freya's POVOne week later....I could feel the Christmas breeze as I closed my eyes, savoring the air. The snowfall today was quite minimal compared to the past weeks; it had filled the city like a sea. Every night, while I lay there, I couldn't help but think about Michael. I wondered how he was doing, how he was fighting for everything that mattered to him. I wondered if he had found the gatekeeper. But then, this was for the best. If I didn't go away, I didn't think everything would go back to how it was. Somehow, my presence had disrupted a lot of Michael's plans, and besides, the contract would be dissolved in barely two weeks. Michael and I would become nothing but strangers."Don't you want to go to him, or at least go see your son?" Mom asked, her voice breaking the still calmness of my thoughts as I froze."I'm okay," I said, forcing a smile. "At least, he'll get to choose his inheritance now," I said, my voice low."My child," Mom said as she sat beside the littl

    Chapter 93Michael's POVI had asked Jason to wait patiently while I washed off the tension that I had experienced earlier. The image of the gatekeeper's head bursting and the sound of the gunshot almost sent me crazy, but I was strong enough to brace myself. I couldn't go over to his family without washing off. There was still a lot to be done, and Grandpa would be happy now, after all, Freya left. One by one, they were all getting everything they wanted; but then, I wouldn't let myself be on the wanting side again. If there was anything to do, it was to protect the only legacy I had.As I stood in front of the mirror, styling my blonde hair into its usual way, I heard the lock on my door turn. "Jason, open up," I said, wondering why he had come over."Michael," Jason said, finally closing the door behind him. "Michael, he's here," he said, his voice low, as I raised an eyebrow. I couldn't quite figure out whom he meant."Do you mean Raymond never left? Is he trying to get on my ner
