FreyaI woke up feeling a bit under the weather. The last few weeks have been hell, to say the least. I’ve cried myself to sleep more nights than I can even remember. It’s easy to say ‘be strong, don’t think about it. You’ll be fine…’ but in reality, it’s so hard. Every day feels like I’m back to where I started. In every dream, I find myself back at the hotel, watching Dennis and Sonia go wild. It’s been hard, and I can’t even give up. I can’t. I can’t let them take me for a fool and go scot-free. They need to be thought a lesson, and until that is done, I’m not going to rest.I sat up and took my phone from the nightstand. I took a deep sigh and then dialed the number.“Hey Dennis,” I let out once he answered the phone.“Hi, Freya… I’m so happy to see your call. I’ve been meaning to call too, but I couldn’t just bring myself to. I know I’ve wronged you and that stopped me from calling.” He apologized while I rolled my eyes. Even if he meant it, it still wouldn’t sound genuine to
Freya Dennis was already at the restaurant by the time I got there. I scanned the whole place from the entrance, and my eyes finally fell on him at a corner. His eyes were glued on a lady sitting some tables away. There was something about the way he stared keenly at the lady that showed he was interested in her. The lady was with her man, and it took a while before she finally noticed another man’s eyes were on him. They locked eyes and once Dennis smiled at her, she returned the gesture with a blush too.I shook my head pitifully. If only the girl knew how useless and irresponsible he is, she wouldn't even spare a glance in his direction.Dennis finally looked at me, and he waved while I managed to force out a smile. I walked to the table, and he was already on his feet. He pulled out a chair for me while I made myself comfortable.“Hi…” I let out while he leaned back in his chair and just stared at me without saying a word.“You look beautiful…” he finally found his voice, while
Dennis“You’re moving back in with her?!” Sonia exclaimed, her face laced with anger as she jumped to her feet as if ready to pick a fight with me.I already knew she was going to react that way once I told her, she wouldn’t want me moving back into Freya’s house, but she has no choice than to accept the reality. I’ve worked hard to get here, and I wasn’t going to let anything or anyone get in my way, not even Sonia. Eventually, she would get over it and when we get the money, she would be glad that I made the firm decision.“Yes, Sonia. She asked me to move back in with her and I agreed.” I let out firmly, making sure I was giving the right energy that I wasn’t going to back down no matter the tantrum she decides to throw.“She asked you or you asked her? Freya is proud, she wouldn’t ask you to move back in if you didn’t give the impression that you wanted it…” she slammed while I just shrugged.“Well, she did call me and asked to meet over lunch, which I agreed to. I got there, and
Freya“Hiii…” the words got stuck in my throat when the door opened and Dennis walked in, accompanied by one of the people who dragged his bag in.“My sweet love!!” He exclaimed and then rushed over to hug me. I couldn’t even hold him, my mind was on the bags in my room.“What’s wrong? You look like you just saw a ghost. What’s going on? Don’t you want me here anymore?” Dennis asked when he finally unplugged from my body.“Of course, I do. I’m just wondering why your things are in the room, I thought you would still be staying in your room.” I managed to let out while he took a step back, gave me a once over and then smiled.“Baby… but this is my room. I only moved into the guest room because we had issues then. Now that it’s all resolved, I’m back where I rightfully belong. In our room, and with my lovely fiancé.” He let out and then slowly reached into his pocket.“What are you d…?” Before I could finish, he was on his knees with a ring. The same one he bought with my money but ins
Sonia “Think Sonia, think… you need to do something.” I kept muttering to myself as I paced the room.Dennis was back with the b*tch, Freya and I couldn’t stop thinking about the despicable things they would be doing. Why is it so hard for her to read the writing on the wall? I mean it’s so obvious that Dennis isn’t into her. Why does she keep trying to win my man over?!I finally sat on the bed, but I was still restless, and I was soon on my feet, pacing the room again.It’s times like this that I wish I had some magical powers, I would just make myself invisible and teleport to where they are right now. I would be able to see what they are doing, and if I’m not comfortable, I get to stop them without them even knowing.After about thirty minutes, I got tired and became sleepy, so I crashed into the bed, pulled the duvet over my face and forced myself to sleep. At least, that would stop the pain that was eating deep into my being.I woke up very early, with thoughts of my husband w
Sonia“Excuse me please, I need to use the restroom…” I let out as I quickly jumped to my feet.“Alright. But are you okay though? You look so worried? Is something going on that I need to know about?” Freya asked, looking so concerned, and she should rightly be. How could she tell that to me? She was shamelessly f*cking my man, and she still had the guts to tell me! How wicked can she be??“Oh no, I’m okay, I just need to get in there, I’m so pressed. I’ll be right back.” I said, and then scurried off without waiting for a response from her. “Dennis and I had a makeup s*x last night, and it was so passionate and sweet. He was so gentle and paid so much attention to my body…” Freya’s words kept ringing in my head and ears as I made my way into the restroom. The whole place was empty and that made me happy. I locked the door and then quickly put a call through to Dennis. He ignored me the first time, but that didn’t stop me. I kept trying and on the fifth ring, he finally answered.
FreyaI could feel Sonia’s eyes glued on my body as I made my way out of the restaurant and straight to the car to meet who she thinks is her husband. “Heyyy beautiful…” Victor let out with a smile while he leaned forward to hug me. “How’s your day going? Interesting I guess, since you need saving from your best friend.” He added quickly, and I could tell he was teasing from the way his gaze went from me to staring in the direction of the restaurant.Sonia was still standing at the table and staring at the car, but she couldn’t see anything because of the tinted glasses. However, judging from the heated look on her face, it was obvious she was boiling with anger. If only she could, she would have raced toward us and dragged ‘Dennis’ out of the car, give him the beating of his life for cheating on her…“I know right… I know she’s regretting ever agreeing to her man dating me right now.” I added, too, while Victor chuckled. “Trust me, she loves the money they’re getting more than any
FreyaI could walk into this spa any time and I would still be attended to with great care, but still, I love to make appointments prior to my visit. “Did they change the decor in here or has it been that long since I came here?” Sonia let out as we got into the massage room.“Yes, we did change some things to make the experience better for our gorgeous clients like you… and then, yes, it’s been a while since we had the pleasure of working on you, ma’am.” Ryan let out while we both looked in his direction immediately.We had no idea he was in the other room and listening to us. He had a broad smile as we all locked eyes. “Ryan!!” Sonia and I both let out and the next thing I knew, she was in his arms hugging and pressing him tightly to her body, which made me wonder why, but I tried not to look surprised.“I missed you, Ryan.” She let out while he finally managed to fight free from her tight grip. “We missed you here as well,” he chimed in, and before she could hug him again, he qu
Freya After Victor left for work, I just pushed aside the tray and crashed back into the bed. I had little to no sleep at all throughout the night. I kept tossing from side to side, trying to get everything out of my head. I did that for a long time before I could eventually get some sleep, and it hadn’t even been an hour before I heard Victor’s knock. I think it did me some good, talking to him and getting some food in me. I don’t think I will be able to get myself to eat throughout today. “Argggggh… f*ck you, Dennis!!” I screamed angrily while I ran my hands through my hair. I thought exposing him for who he is was all to it, but it seemed that even made it worse for me. I can’t believe he’s out of my life and still wreaking havoc…I picked up my phone just in time to get a text message from Victor.“I know what you’re about to do. Don’t do it. Stop checking, I have it all under control already.” I smiled as I read the words out, but I didn’t listen. I went ahead to check and,
SoniaThe night at the police station felt like a never-ending nightmare. The cold metal bench beneath me, the dim lights flickering overhead, the muffled sounds of inmates arguing, it all felt surreal. I hadn’t stopped shaking since the moment we were separated. Every second stretched endlessly, the knot in my stomach growing tighter with each tick of the clock. Dennis hadn’t even looked at me. Not once. I’d spent most of the drive here pleading with him to talk to me, to at least let us talk and reason together. We both said mean things to each other in the heat of the moment, but he was taking it too far… ignoring me and refusing to talk to me. I mean, we have no one but each other… we planned it all together and a little bust isn’t the end of it. Dennis was playing right into Freya’s hands, she wanted us divided because she knew that was the only way she could win. I won’t let that. I would have gotten through to him in the car if the officers had to shut me up when my voice
VictorThe first thing I checked as I opened my eyes was the time. I heaved a sigh of relief when I saw it was only fifteen minutes to six in the morning. I would have set an alarm if I was back at home, but I didn’t want anything to disturb Freya’s sleep. I knew it must have been a bit difficult for her to get some sleep.I stayed put on the sofa, staring at the ceiling, and before I knew it, I had drifted back into a short sleep. I saw the morning light streamed through the curtains and then checked the time again. It was twelve minutes past six now and though I had an important meeting later, I indulged my mind in the different thoughts that were fighting for attention. All thoughts were entirely consumed by Freya. I’d even spent half the night wondering if she was okay. The weight of everything she had been through hung in the air like an unspoken truth, and I knew today wasn’t going to be any easier for her. I sat up, did a little meditation to prepare myself ahead for the da
FreyaSeeing the tears in my eyes scared Victor so much. He didn’t even wait a second before snatching the phone from me the moment I turned the screen to him.“See for yourself…” that was all I could manage to say. He kept scrolling through while I started pacing the room, the headlines screaming loudly at me. After everything, how could they still be blaming me? “This isn’t good.” He finally found his voice, while I quickly turned back to him.“I know right. I mean I am the victim here. Why am I still the one getting all the hate? Why? Was I supposed to cover for my cheating fiancé? Is that really what they want from me? To cover for him, keep sponsoring his affair with my money? Keep quiet while he keeps f*cking that b*tch?” I let out and just had to stop when the tears started to choke me. I crashed heavily onto the sofa, and it got out of my control. I couldn’t stop the tears from coming, but I was silent. It was more of a quiet sobbing and that was the worst. I knew I was goi
VictorI got into the kitchen with high expectations, ready to impress Freya with my cooking skills, and I was really trying… or I thought I was… until I stopped for a moment and took a look at what I had done.It was a complete mess!The kitchen smelled of chopped onions, raw chicken, and a faint hint of garlic from the clove I had just crushed. The scene before me was nothing short of chaos, bowls stacked on top of each other, half the flour on the counter instead of in the bowl, and an unopened can of tomatoes rolling dangerously close to the edge. I stood there with my hands on my hips, staring down at the assortment of ingredients I had pulled out, my confidence already dwindling. How hard could cooking be? Just follow a recipe, right? Wrong. There was no need to cry over spilled milk. I needed to find a way out and fast. The first idea that popped into my head was YouTube. I was confident I was going to find help there.The first video I pulled up was a cheerful chef who s
Freya “Who was that?” I asked once Victor was off the phone. He showed the screen to me and I saw it was Jeff.“Jeff?” I quizzed while he nodded slowly.“Why was he calling you?” I pressed.“He said he needed Officer Kane’s number. He was one of the officers that came to arrest those fools.” He chimed in.“Let me just send it to him,” he added, and then proceeded to do some things on his phone before looking back up to face me.“Let’s get you something to eat now. I’m sure you haven’t had anything to eat all day. Did you?” he asked, while I just crashed onto the sofa. The last thing on my mind was food.“No, I didn’t, but I honestly don’t think I have the appetite. Maybe I will feel better tomorrow and eat something,” I replied, while he scoffed.“No can do, ma’am. You’re eating tonight and that’s final. Even if I have to feed it to you, I will. I’m not sitting by and watching you starve yourself when you should actually be celebrating right about now. I mean, you did that. You stoo
JeffMy head rested against the cool glass, my eyes staring blankly at nothing in particular, as the driver drove through the busy streets. The ache in my chest was unbearable and no amount of deep breaths or thinking could ease it. I raked my fingers through my hair for what felt like the hundredth time, tugging slightly at the strands as if that would somehow pull the pain out of me. How could she? - I kept asking myself. Sonia. The woman I had loved with every fiber of my being. The woman I had planned a future with. I had adjusted my entire life, my ambitions, and my plans to include her and our baby… or at least the baby I thought was mine. My fists clenched at the thought. The baby isn’t even mine. “Sir, are you okay back there?” the driver asked hesitantly, his eyes meeting mine briefly in the rearview mirror. I cleared my throat, trying to sound composed despite the chaos in my chest. “I’m fine. Just… keep driving.” The driver nodded silently and focused back on t
FreyaI just couldn’t wrap my head around how much of a shameless wh*re Sonia was. Even after everything, she still had the gut to try to spin a lie against Victor…“That man raped me! Victor Whitmore!! He rap*d me!!!” Sonia started to yell the moment she sighted the police. She turned to everyone but only cold stares from the guest. They were all amazed by her shamelessness. Who wouldn’t?“Freya, tell them! You know he was the man who harassed me then. You know that Freya, tell everyone! You can’t turn your back on me now. I’m your sister, you said so yourself, you need to talk please. I know you’re mad at me right now, but that doesn’t mean you turn a blind eye and just let the man who harassed your sister hold you like that!!” I was so irked by her words. It was such a disgrace to even be associated with her. How could I be friends with such evil? “You’re not my sister, Sonia. You never were, it just took me long to realize it and, now that I know, it stays that way.” I let out,
Sonia“Dennis! How could you…” Freya didn’t let me finish before she turned to me and cut me off.“Ohh save your strength. There’s no need to shout and startle my guest. If he says it’s fake, then what about this?” She let out just in time for another video to come on. This time, it was the one from the restroom where Dennis and I were just having s*x. I couldn’t even fathom how they recorded it but whoever set the camera did a really good job. They got all angles and there was no way Dennis could deny it now. Our faces were as clear as the day, and the way he f*ked me silly showed he wasn’t forced. It was with his full consent.“She couldn’t have doctored this in such a short period, especially since you seemed in control and still in the same suit… or did you, Sonia?” Freya suddenly asked, but I couldn’t say a word. I opened my mouth but no words came out. I looked at Dennis and I saw the scare on his face as he raked his hands shakily through his hair. I couldn’t really read his
