Chapter 75 Freya's POVIt had been two weeks since I discovered the Jenkins' bracelet in my mother's possession, but I couldn't quite figure out the connections between my mom and the bracelet. My secret investigation to find out about Waylen's mysterious friend was still futile, as I wasn't given the freedom to move around in Ambrose's home.I had finished the day's duty, and I had received a message from Jason the previous day. I still had two hours to go before I could see him. Somehow, I felt a surge of excitement at the thought of seeing one of Michael's allies again.Just as I was about to stop a taxi, I was suddenly grabbed forcefully and dragged into a big black car. "Let go of me!" I fired, biting one of them on the arm, but they didn't even flinch."Please, I have a son!" I wept, trying to call their attention, but it fell on deaf ears. Fear was evident on my face as I realized the gravity of the situation."We're not going to hurt you. We're just following orders," one of

Chapter 76Michael's POV"Boss, be nice to her." Jason's voice came out like a warning as he placed his right hand on my shoulder, tapping it gently. I closed my eyes for a second, unsure of how to respond. I didn't know what to say.I watched Jason exit my office, my back still against the door, my full concentration outside the window, watching the first snowfall of the year as it fell gently on the tarred road. The delicate flakes danced in the air, a serene sight that contrasted with the turmoil brewing inside me.Not long after, the sound of the door creaking open broke the silence. My heart suddenly began to rise, pounding in my chest like a drum. I didn't know I could still feel the beating of my heart after everything Freya had done to hurt me."Come in," I said in a baritone voice, my face still fixed outside the window. I acted like I didn't care, filled with charisma, but inside, I was dying of fear and shyness. I suddenly felt like a teenage boy who couldn't stand in front

Chapter 77Bella's POVI could feel my bones crushing hardly, my head banging as my eyes could barely see what was coming in front of me. "No!" I screamed, my legs stuck onto the vehicle; the only thing I could feel around me. "Now that you're alive, which isn't part of the plan, I'll make sure to use it well," was what I could hear amidst the darkness and blurry face of the person in front of me. But I knew he was dangerous, and I was so scared.Then, suddenly, a loud scream escaped my mouth as Ambrose hurriedly ran over to me, cuddling me tightly. "Hey, hey... you're safe now. Did you have another nightmare again?" he asked, his voice filled with concern, as I nodded my head continuously. I was so scared, my heart still racing from the nightmare.I was scared of everything around me, and the little room I was placed in felt suffocating. I couldn't bear the fact that everyone had abandoned me. Ambrose was the only one who cared for me. It shattered my heart into pieces, thinking that

Chapter 78Freya's POVMy attention was fixed outside the window, which was packed with Ambrose's car. I began to wonder why he had decided to come over to my apartment. The last time I checked, I didn't think I had invited him."Freya, my beautiful Freya Rogers," he called from outside, a mocking tone evident in his voice. Right from when we dated, he never called me sweet names."I don't appreciate you coming over to my home and shouting my name. You could get arrested by the neighbors," I warned a few moments later as I walked slowly out. Now, we were meters apart as he smiled, a smile I had once begged for in the last three years. But now, it was meaningless to me. The whole of the Jenkins family was meaningless to me, and I didn't care about them anymore."I came to get you," he said, as I hissed, about to turn my back and leave, when I felt his hand holding onto my arm tightly. I tried to break free, giving him an angry look, but I was so pissed to watch him smiling like nothing

Chapter 79Michael's POVI watched in shock as Ambrose's lips locked with Freya's, and for a moment, I felt like disappearing into thin air. To think that Freya not only used me to make him jealous but also rode with him to Grandpa's home. She had been spending time with him, and who knows why she was also invited here. She had already told Ambrose about our divorce case.I closed my eyes, trying to reflect on how she had made a fool out of me. How she had used me to make Ambrose jealous, and now, they were sharing a kiss right beside me."How dare you?" I heard her say, raising her hand to hit Ambrose's face, who held it, looking deep into her eyes. My subconscious self wanted to make a move, drag Ambrose's hand away from her, and give him a hard punch. But then, I reminded myself that it was their problem, not mine. Freya only acted this way so she could feel less embarrassed."Oh, now you don't want to kiss me anymore because Michael's here? He's my little brother; he shouldn't ste

Chapter 80Raymond's POVI couldn't shake off the words of the woman at the airport as I lay my head softly on my bed. "I'm sorry, Mister Raymond, there was no record of any Mr. Ambrose Jenkins boarding our plane on that time five years ago."My mind was racing with questions. If Ambrose didn't board the plane that day, where was he, and where did he probably disappear to? He began to reach out to me a few months after Bella's death. As much as Ambrose had told me a lot of things alongside knowing a lot about him, he had never told me everything that went wrong on that day.Had I made a mistake in revealing my anger to him too soon? I began to ponder these thoughts when I heard the ringing of my phone. I had promised to end the call if it had anything to do with the debts I was owing. But then, it happened to be Ambrose, and a smile formed on my lips. Maybe I could use this moment to do what I had in mind."Hey, you bloody fool. Come get me out here. I'm at your home," he said, his vo

Chapter 81Raymond's POVThe familiar scent of Michael's apartment greeted me, and I realized that ever since Alexis and I were driven from his home, this was the first time I was visiting. I had always seen him at his office.As I walked a few steps over to make my presence known to him, the door of his room opened, and together with him was Jason, his lookalike best friend. Jason could pass for Michael's brother rather than Ambrose."Hi, Michael?" I greeted, trying my best to appear as normal as I could. I was tense; I had no intentions of giving anyone my full loyalty, especially Ambrose. I began to think of how I would make this decision of mine a wise move. I wouldn't want to do anything to appear suspicious in Michael's eyes, at least, he appreciated my effort."Hey, get over here, let's talk," Michael said to me as he walked ahead of us, going over to one of the empty rooms I had never visited. The door creaked open as Michael walked in first. I could see a big black box as I w

Chapter 82Michael's POVI couldn't stop thinking about Jason's idea. It was a good suggestion, one I had thought of myself, but I didn't think I could swallow my pride and go to Freya, begging for her help. "Don't you think you need to talk to her? She might know something too," Jason's last words echoed in my mind as I took a deep breath.Before I knew it, I had decided to go to her home. I had promised myself I wouldn't get swayed by the rolling of her eyes or the biting of her lips. I kept reminding myself that I didn't love her anymore. Yet, I felt guilty for distancing myself from her little boy, Waylen. He was never involved in any of this...............As I stood outside her door, I took a deep breath and knocked. Just then, Freya's mom called out from inside, "Freya, honey, I think you forgot your medicine." My heart sank, realizing Freya wasn't home. And then, I began to wonder if Freya was perhaps ill?"Freya?" her mom called out again, this time with a hint of questioni

Chapter 124Raymond's POVThe cool breeze caressed my skin softly as I watched Michael empty the first bottle of vodka and prepare to pour another while he sat by the pool. I decided to stop him from drinking further. "Michael, that's enough," I snapped, dragging the bottle from him as he faced me with a piercing gaze. "How dare you?" he growled."Is this your way of saying sorry for hurting and breaking her heart? How petty of you to do this," I said, smelling the alcohol-filled bottle as I choked on my breath. "How do you manage to drink this?""Just because I brought you into my home doesn't mean we're good. I'll never forgive you for everything you've done," he said, trying to drink from the empty bottle. "Oh, did I drink all of it?" he asked himself, as I watched with my eyes filled with tears. I closed my eyes for a few seconds."I've done everything I can to make you believe me. I mean, everyone hates me now because, in the end, I chose to be with you. And it's perfectly okay

Chapter 123Grandpa's POVIt was vivid in my head, the event from five years ago. Somehow, I had wondered why Ambrose didn't accompany me, and then I felt it was personal. How dare he? I began to dig deep into the deepest part of my room as I finally found the document from the promise decades ago."It still has the authenticity," I whispered, opening it as I had found the paper and everything that was included in the file. My eyes caught the attention of the bracelet, the same bracelet that proves it all about the alliances from the beginning. The same bracelet I had given to Michael, which I noticed had been absent on his wrist. If I couldn't invite him over for a talk, I'd go into his home to visit him instead. Michael needed to know everything about the promises between his great-grandparents."Grandpa, the court officers are against me receiving visitors until the pronouncement of the verdict," Michael said. There was no color on his face as I felt bad and sad. I couldn't bear wa
The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again Stay away
Chapter 122Freya's POVI could feel Michael's pain as I felt my heart bleeding. Who on Earth would have thought that for five years, Michael had mourned someone who didn't really die? I wanted to avoid him now that we were done. I wanted to act like he didn't matter to me anymore, but I just couldn't."Raymond," I muttered, suddenly seeing him as he entered Jason's car. I wore a smile; Raymond had probably done a good job in deceiving Ambrose. Not long, the courtroom became empty as the officers finally took Michael away. Our eyes met, and just as he always did, he acted like we were total strangers. I wanted to say his name louder, but then, probably it wasn't the best time. I should head over to his home and..."Freya," I turned around as I saw Ambrose directly behind me as I tried to stop a cab. My mood became bitter and sour as I folded my arms around my chest. "How dare you show your face here after everything you've done?" "Is this what you meant when you said you were going t
The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again Disaster in the Courtroom
Chapter 121Michael's POV"Bella!" I whispered as my eyes became glued to her as she walked side by side with a strange man. "Bella!" I called out as everyone stood in shock. Grandpa almost collapsed as Jason held him firmly. But then, I glanced at Ambrose, who gave me a sly smile but later faked it to everyone like he was shocked. Bella hadn't looked in my direction as she kept holding hands with the strange man. The courtroom had turned into a disaster.I knew the judge would have ended the interrogation process and would likely give the verdict. How could something like this come up? "How dare you!" I growled, bouncing towards the strange man's direction, about to eat him up, as I was held firmly by the people present. "Bella, Bella!" I cried, wrestling with the people who had held me.All efforts by the judge to put everyone in order failed. Bella suddenly moved her face in my direction as our eyes locked. I already had tears flowing on my cheek, but then she took her gaze off imm
The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again Exposed Secrets
Chapter 120Michael's POVI closed my eyes as I held my fist tightly, trying to calm my nerves. I forced a smile after the court officers had ordered me to take a step. "Mr. Jason, you're not allowed to accompany the defendant. A car will be provided for him," one of the court officers said to Jason, who had tried to drive me down to the court."Hey, man, you'll be okay," he assured me as I nodded, forcing a smile. Not long afterwards, I was taken in the same car that had brought me down for the bail hearing. The truth was, I had no witnesses for today's trial. I'd only gathered the evidence, which I prayed would make a difference. At a time like this, Ambrose was a desperate man who would definitely seek desperate measures to get what he wanted.I caught sight of Emma as she walked side by side with Alexis and Raymond. I closed my eyes for a while, feeling down and broken. I didn't know why it hurt me to see Raymond again with them. But then, seeing the bandages on his face somehow g

Chapter 119 Raymond's POV"You know, you just have to surrender. There's no way you can beat us. Besides, Michael left you," Alexis mocked as I wrestled to break free from the chains that bound me. I could still feel the pain from Ambrose's beating last night. "If you have nothing else to say, leave," I growled, my face bent towards the floor."Must you do this to yourself? The almighty Raymond bound by chains... this isn't you. Just stop it," she whispered in a breaking voice, but her words were never real, and I wouldn't fall for it. "I'd rather die than do this with you all. You don't know Ambrose just yet; he's going to make you his dog, and he's going to trample on your crown until there's nothing left in you to offer him. And boom, he's going to get rid of you," I said, laughing hysterically as Alexis began shivering in fear."You don't know anything about him. Look, I'll help you escape if you promise to cooperate," she offered. I laughed. "Cooperate? Do I look like I need an
The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again Michael's request
Chapter 118Michael's POV"So, what else have you found out about? How's everything in the office?" I asked Jason as he moved closer to me like he was trying to speak to me discreetly, even when there were only both of us present."The office right now is not in perfect shape. You're losing a lot of investors, and as we speak, Ambrose is on the verge of claiming Smith Tech," Jason said as I closed my eyes for a while."And Grandpa, what is he doing? Did he still trust Ambrose so much after everything that's happening?" "Don't think about stuff like that right now. But then, about your marriage with Freya, I..." "Enough, don't say anything about her." I snapped as Jason's face fell."You have to keep up with the marriage for the meantime. I know tomorrow's the day the contract ends. Yeah, like a dream, but it's freaking six months. But you can't afford to dissolve the marriage amidst the crisis we are right now.""I don't...wanna put Freya in my mess.

The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again A Fragment of Bella's Memory
Chapter 117Bella's POV"Ahhhhh!" I woke up with a loud scream as I began to shake. I didn't know why, but I had never had this dream for a while now. I glanced at the cinnamon drink as I began to breathe profusely.[Michel killed you! He stabbed you and he killed you] I kept hearing the numerous voices which were ringing in my head. I rolled up my shirt to see the large scar that lay above my upper abdomen."Hey, are you okay?" The door to my room suddenly opened as I shivered from the shock. "Mrs. Cooke, I'm so scared," I whispered as she glanced at the cinnamon drink that was placed on the table, giving me a wild look."That's why your nightmare hasn't ceased. You shouldn't skip these," she said, trying to reach out her hand to hand the drink to me, but I messed it up. I had thrown the cup angrily from her as I felt the noises in my head kept sounding louder. The truth was, I had stopped taking the cinnamon drink for a long time now, except when I was being watched."I don't want t
The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again Reconciliation
Chapter 116Freya's POVIt's been three days after reading Naomi's letter. It broke me into pieces that Emma had used us the way she wanted. And now, it was finally time to use her just like she had done. I made sure no one was following and no one would even detect that I was the one. The warm breeze greeted me as I got down from the cab. Funny how a billionaire's wife never got addicted to driving any of the exotic cars in the mansion."Thank you," I said, paying the cab man, who kept giving me unusual looks till I was out of sight. I looked into the letter as I kept following the address to find my right way. I stopped in front of an orphanage home; I wondered why she had sought refuge here."Ma'am, would you like me to give you a hand?" One of the children who were playing soccer suddenly ran towards me as I revealed a smile. I had disguised myself as an old woman, which probably felt so awkward to me. "Hey, my child," I said, moving closer to the young boy as he stared at me so
