Chapter 27

Freya's POV

"That was a joke, Rogers. The contract remains," Michael said, getting up from the bed, as a wave of disappointment washed over me.

"Rogers... I'm counting on you. 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 POV

I couldn't shake off the thoughts of Freya from my mind. Her lips were soft and moist, and I couldn't understand why I kissed her. Bu

    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

I'd suddenly whispered, hearing his last statement. He looked clueless and confused as he kept looking at his father. My son only admired me from afar; he didn't recognize me."Waylen, excuse Uncle Michael's wife and me. Come on, Uncle Raymond is out there," Ambrose said coldly, without any empathy in his tone, as he went over to open the door. Fear suddenly possessed me, Raymond presence means my secret weren't safe. But then, this was my son in front of me. Besides, I don't think he knew that much about Ambrose."It won't be bad to have him here with us. After all, he doesn't understand everything that's going on," I said, looking directly into his eyes. I was prepared for anything that would happen."Are you crazy, Freya? Fine, if you want the little boy to..." Ambrose began."Dad, do you hate Unc' Michael's wife?" Waylen cut in, sc

I'll join you at home.]I stared at the message for a few seconds, feeling disappointed as I drummed my hands on my thigh with my back resting on my office chair.[Wait? Why should I? I'm home already. In fact, I'm on my bed. Don't flatter yourself, Rogers. No one is waiting for you.]I sent back, standing up and getting my briefcase and suit. I was such a fool to think I wasted almost two hours waiting for Freya."Dumb woman," I muttered, but unexpectedly, I smiled, re-reading the message for the third time, a sense of amusement still lingering on my face, picturing her voice with the texts."Don't be a fool, Michael," I muttered, taking a deep breath.As I walked into the elevator, I met Jason in there, bowing his head with a smile. I looked away, sighing and shaking my head. How do I avoid Jason without regretting it?"C'mon, man. I guess your wife asked you to go home after waiting for

How dare she have the audacity to show up at my home after everything she had done?I could hear the sounds of laughter and chatter, indicating that my cousins were present. It was high time I took actions and put an end to this gathering."Michael! Sweetheart," Emma cooed, approaching me with a fake smile. "I've been here for over two hours. Do you often stay this late at work?" She asked, as she reached out to hug me, but I swiftly freed myself from her grasp."You!" I exclaimed, my voice low and frightening. "Why did you come back?" I glared at Alexis, who stood with her arms folded, watching Emma's little drama with a mixture of happiness and curiousity. The nerve of them, thinking they could play me for a fool again."Get out!" I ordered, my voice firm and authoritative, not waiting for

My mom was getting better now, and I was so glad."I'm so sorry, mom. It's only for six months. After six months, everything will go back to how it was," I spoke so softly as she raised her hand, wiping the little tears off my face. "Mom, I'm so glad you're okay. I mean, look at you. Naomi really did a wonderful job in caring for you. I really...""That's why I want you to stop stressing the poor girl. Get married and bear a grandchild for me," my mom snapped with a frown on her face as my mouth opened suddenly, never expecting their words from her."C'mon, mum. Even if I bear a child, there's no way that child would be able to watch over you all of a sudden," I paused, "besides, I'm not ready for that right now," I said, my voice trailing off."My child," my mom calle

He'll act so lovely a minute, and the next, he's back to his usual behavior. I knew how hurt he must be to have lost his sister, to have no one by his side who loved him genuinely. But couldn't he see the fact that I was willing to do anything for him? Even if it meant staying with him, getting used to his cold ways, and assuring him that I'll be there for him. But then, he hurt me.To Michael, I was Freya Rogers, his contract wife. "Freya...I'm not really the type to say sorry," he started, staring at me as my inner self got soaked with shock. I mean, Michael Smith will never say sorry. Not even for a god. "But, I'm sorry for...I mean, not like you're right. You left the office without a word.

    Chapter 106Michael's POVI watched Jason stand up as the first witness as I took a deep breath. I began to search for Freya with my eyes, but couldn't find her. I needed her testimony as much as I needed Jason's. The prosecutor had signaled for Jason to speak as I closed my eyes, fixing my gaze on him, but then Jason never gave me a glance for a second. "I was supposed to accompany the defendant, who happens to be my best friend, on that day, but then I had a lot of work on deck, and amongst them were the business schedule with Zenon Group of Companies, and I have every detail in here," Jason said, raising a file filled with lots of documents. "Mr. Jason, we want you to say everything you know about the incident on that day; it seems you've forgotten why you are being called," the prosecutor interrupted, as I felt forced to get on my feet and scold him. How dare he interrupt when he wasn't the judge? "I cannot agree to the claim that the defendant is indeed guilty of murder of hi

    Chapter 105Freya's POVMy heart kept bleeding as I sighted Michael from afar, accompanied by a court officer. "We should go talk to him, Freya. The court rules don't go against it. We just need to ask how well he's holding up, nothing about the witness case," Jason said to me softly, as I nodded my head. "Let's go," I said, with each walking step closer to him making the knot in my chest tighter.As we got closer to him, the court official made a gesture showing he was ready to stop him from interacting with us. "Please, it won't take long," I pleaded. "Nothing must disrupt the witness process. I can't leave you two with him. I can't break court conduct," he said, as I closed my eyes for a moment, biting my lips."Hey, Michael," I called, not minding what the court officer was saying. All that mattered to me was getting Michael out of here; I didn't mind doing anything. Anything at all; just to make sure Michael was safe. "Hey, ugly Freya. You're still so ugly," Michael teased, reve

I didn't notice anything wrong with the defendant's car, as it was his best car. Everything was going smoothly, and then... then...""Speak, Miss Emma.

    Chapter 103Michael's POV"Mr. Smith, get in the car; we have no time left to spare," the cop said to me as he opened the car door for me to enter. I took a deep breath, feeling embarrassment and shame wash over me. I never thought a day would come when I'd ride in a car like this – a police car, no less."What are you waiting for? Get in," the cop repeated as I did, trying my best not to rumple my suit. Jason had brought me a new pair of suit and made sure I looked presentable. I began to say a quiet prayer deep inside of me, hoping everyone who had promised to give their testimony would show up. My heart began to beat faster as I thought of Emma. I'd hoped she would stay true to her words; she had already received the money – a huge amount that would probably go a long way if invested wisely. But then, if it required payment to speak about everything that had happened on that fateful night, I'd pay the same amount over and over again............."Mr. Michael, do you have anything

I'm partially involved in what he's facing right now," Raymond said, calling my attention as I stopped in my tracks. I turned around; his eyes were filled with regret and pain. "It's in the past now. Instead of regretting and dwelling on the past, why not do everything you can to help Michael?" I said, walking a bit towards his side as I placed my hand on his shoulder. "We'll be okay," I whispered, as he nodded continuously.The cops had told me visiting hours were over, but then Raymond had squeezed some money into the officer's hand, and his face lit up with a bright smile. "Just fifteen minutes," he said, as I nodded. Not long after, I was asked to go see him. My anticipation to see Michael disappeared as my legs began to wobble. "He's waiting for you," Raymond whispered, as I took a deep breath. I began to feel my strength return, and soon I found myself sitting

    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

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."

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
