My head forgot how to beat for a few seconds after Freya told me Dennis was cheating.
“What? Where? When? How?” That and more questions fought in my head as I quickly drove down to her house. I didn’t even know what to think. I knew I had to see her and get to the root of it all. I needed to know everything she knew, so I could know the next step to take.
“I couldn’t see the lady’s face. Dennis’ back was blocking my view, all I knew was he was with someone.”
“What about pictures? Did you take any? You know I might know the lady, and we’ll know what to do from there.” That was my own concern.
All her other talks about satisfying him only for him to cheat and betray her, weren’t any of my business. That was between her and Dennis. All I needed to know was if she had evidence.
“No, I didn’t take pictures. The thought didn’t even cross my mind until I confronted him when he got back home, and he denied it. It was his words against mine, since I had no proof.” She retorted and then burst into tears while I let out a deep sigh of relief.
For the first time since I walked into the house, my mind was finally at rest.
No pictures, no proof. My secret was safe!
She had no idea I was the lady she saw Dennis with.
“How could we be so careless?” I didn’t know I was thinking out loud, until I heard Freya’s voice.
“What did you say?” She asked, while I quickly reached for her hand again.
“Nothing. I was just thinking about everything you said about Dennis. It’s so surprising. He doesn’t even look like someone who could cheat. Even with the way he acts around other women, I would have thought he wasn’t into girls if I didn’t know how much he loves you.”
“I know right. I thought so too. Dennis was so sweet on me when we started. He showed me what true love is. He loved me with all his heart and never fails to show it.” She chimed in while I rolled my eyes when she wasn’t looking.
“Of course , I know. He’s a deep lover. So what are you going to do now? I’m so sorry you’re going through this.” I chimed in.
“Oh no, please don’t be sorry. It’s not your fault.”
“But it is, I matchmade you two. If I knew he was going to hurt you like the other ones, I wouldn’t have done that.” I quickly cut in while she shook her head.
“It’s not your fault. There’s no way you could have known.” She insisted, while I then pulled her into an embrace, gently patting her on the back while she continued sobbing.
“It’s going to be fine.”
“So what do you plan on doing now?” I quizzed while I slowly released her.
“I don’t know… I’m still thinking.”
“But you said you had already confronted him and he denied it. What else can you do? And you know how much he loves you, I would suggest you take things slow, you know. Get to the root of the matter before making any decision.” I let out while she quickly pulled away from me and, seeing the fierce look on her face, I could tell she was about to unleash some anger on me.
“Get to the root of the matter? What other root is there to get to after seeing him with my own eyes? He was kissing her, they were tongue deep in each other’s throats!”
“Tell me, where were you last night?” I jerked in my seat when she asked me this.
“What?” I exclaimed.
“I wanted to call you last night, but I didn’t know if you were available. Where were you?” I relaxed when she repeated herself.
“I was at home in bed, sleeping.” I affirmed.
“You know what? Let’s just forget this. You’re obviously getting worked up, and I don’t like that. You’re not feeling well so you need a lot of rest and care, which is why I am here.” I quickly changed the subject.
“Have you eaten?” She didn’t answer me, but I already know the answer.
“I will take that as a no. Wait here, I’ll get you something to eat.” I retorted and then disappeared into the kitchen.
Getting her a plate of breakfast was real easy since the fridge was full. I pushed the tray on the table in front of her and waited till she took the first bite before I grabbed my phone and excused myself.
“I need to use the bathroom real quick. Will you be fine here by yourself?” I asked.
“Of course, it’s my house after all…”
I rolled my eyes when she said this.
She’s so full of herself and always quick to rub her wealth in people’s faces. It’s not even her money. I mean, if her father wasn’t a billionaire, we would be on the same level. Heck, I would even be better than her. I’m a hard worker, and I’ve worked hard for every dime I’ve earned in my life.
Freya? A lazy, entitled brat who thinks the whole world revolves around her pretty face!
That’s why she keeps trying to buy love with money, but the men keep dropping her every minute. I would too if I were a man. No one wants a woman who constantly reminds them she’s richer!
“B*tch ass!” I spat in the sink and turned on the tap. I went back into the room and sat at the dressing table, staring in the mirror with rage while my phone rang.
“Honey?” Dennis' voice sounded over the phone and, just like that, my anger dissolved like salt in the water.
“How are you doing this beautiful morning? I missed you. Last night still rings in my head. Want to meet again tonight?” He asked and I found myself blushing sheepishly. But then, I quickly snapped out of it. This wasn’t the time to slack or make more mistakes.
“I would love that too, but we can’t. We are in deep sh*t!” I let out.
“What? What deep sh*t?" He quickly asked.
“Freya knows! She knows we are together!”
“What?”
“Well, she doesn’t know that we are together or that you’re with me, but she knows that you’re seeing someone else. She followed you to the hotel last night and saw you and I making out!”
“What? She did what?”
“Okay, she didn’t exactly see us together. She only saw you but didn’t see my face, so she doesn’t know you were with me. She only saw you were with a lady and then ran out.”
“F*ck f*ck f*ck!!! That was why she confronted me last night. I was surprised too, she has never done such before, so I was shocked, but I felt she was just being the entitled brat that she is! F*ck!! I had no idea she already caught me!”
“Just relax, she has no proof so we need to think of a way out very fast. I’ve tried to probe her to know if she has any plans, but I don’t think she does.” I let out.
“She’s stupidly in love with you and I don’t think she’s done with you yet. You just need to find a way to get her back right where you hooked her. And you need to do that fast,” I said firmly.
“Yes, you’re right. I need to play this right and I know exactly what to do. You’re home with her, right?” He asked.
“Yeah, I came right away after she told me. I was so scared, I just had to come find out things for myself.” I affirmed.
“Good! Make sure she doesn’t have any time to herself. She’s not really smart but sure overthinks a lot. She might figure things out if she’s left to think deeply, so make sure to keep her on her toes throughout the day. I mean, talk to her and make sure she doesn’t have any free time to think about it.” He ordered, and I felt my feelings aroused for a second there.
I like it when he gets bossy. It turns me on a lot.
“Sure, you know you can trust me on that. I’m going to find out everything she knows and plans to do. Just make sure you come up with a solid plan. We are close to our goal now, we can’t afford to forfeit that because of silly mistakes.” I asserted.
“I’m going to sort it out.” He affirmed and then hung up.
That was weird, he never ends the call without kissing me, but I understood he was probably distracted because of the news I just gave him. I was too, when I heard.
I hadn’t finished that thought when my phone rang again.
“I forgot to kiss you.” He let out and then the muaahh sound came, sending cold shivers down my spine.
He hung up afterward while I sat there smiling at the screen…
Freya“You’re done eating already?” Sonia asked, while I nodded.“You stayed long, and I was hungry, so yes, I’m done.” I let out, and she smiled while coming back to sit beside me.I actually didn’t eat the food. I couldn’t. Not after seeing the way she hung her legs over my fiancé’s head and let him f*ck her like the wh*re that she is. How could I then eat the food that she prepared after that horrible scene? What if she poisoned it? At least that would make their plans come through faster. I would be out of the picture, and they would have access to everything their greedy ass ever wanted…“I’m coming… let me get the nail kit, you need some manicure and pedicure.” Sonia suddenly let out, abruptly pulling me from my thoughts.“But I just did them a week ago.” I didn’t want her anywhere close to the sensitive parts of my body.“A week ago? Girl! That’s long enough for a do-over!” She let out and then ran upstairs while I stared long at the nails.She soon came back with my nail box a
Sonia“Babe…” I quickly ran to the door once I heard his voice.It was Dennis and though I had been boiling with rage ever since he got back this evening, the moment I opened the door and saw his face, all the anger dissolved.“Took you so long… were you f*cking her?” I asked, rolling my eyes and pretending to be angry.He smiled and pulled me into his arms while I tried harder to hold back the blush. He started kissing me all over the face, and before I knew what was going on, I was already smiling sheepishly.“See? I always get you. You can't be mad at your man.” He retorted while I gently hit his chest and pushed him off.“Why didn’t you tell me about the surprise? And what was that about? Kissing and drooling all over her? Are you in love with her now?” I quizzed, rolling my eyes again.He wanted to pull me into his arms again, but I stepped back.“No, you don’t get to do that. I want answers, use your words and not your hands.” I said frankly.“Well, I did tell you I would handle
Freya“Heyyy…” I let out as I stepped into the kitchen and saw Sonia making breakfast.“Why are you bothering yourself this early morning?” I asked while she smiled.“It’s not a bother. You’re not well, and I thought to make breakfast for you and Dennis,” she explained.“But…”“No buts. You’re not a bother, and I’m happy to do it.” She affirmed.“Here, I’ll serve your food now. Come over.” She chimed in and then started serving the dinette while I took a seat.The door opened and Dennis appeared. I caught the knowing glance they both exchanged, but then pretended like I didn’t see.He came over and kissed me on the lips while Sonia stood behind me. I knew they would still be sharing the glances but do I care?“Morning my love…” he finally found his voice.“Good morning Dennis…” Sonia quickly replied before I could.I closed my mouth and smiled. Well, of course, she was his love, so why should I be the one replying?“Morning Sonia. Hope you slept well?” He turned to her.“Yes, I did. W
Victor“Can I have those files on Demock?” I said to Anna, my assistant, over the phone.“Okay sir. The Walters have gotten back to us too. I sent their response to your mail about thirty minutes ago.” She retorted.“Okay then, I will check it out now. Please don’t forget the files I asked for. I need to work on them now.” I hung up afterward, but it hadn’t been five seconds before she called back.“What else, Anna?” I asked, trying not to sound angry.“There’s one Miss Becca here asking to see you sir, I’ve told her now is not a good time, but she’s insisting on seeing you.” She rushed through the words and I could hear the frustration in her voice too.“Does she have an appointment?”“No, Sir.”“Then tell her to leave. I’m busy.” I said, and then hung up immediately.Again, it hadn’t been a few seconds before I heard a loud bang on my door. I looked up just in time for the door to open. It was Becca, looking like she was about to pick a fight with me.“How dare you ask your assistan
FreyaPromising Victor that I'd be calm was easy, but actually keeping to the deal was the problem. I just couldn't take my mind and eyes off the video.I went straight to the office from Victor's place and the moment I clicked the door shut, I hurried to my seat. I grabbed my phone and started watching the video all over again.I watched it over three times and each time, it felt different, like I was just seeing it for the first time.I pushed my phone forward while I buried my head on my desk. I was boiling with rage and I just needed to get my mind off it.The day went by in a blur. I couldn't even concentrate on work. I was so disturbed and had to push a lot of the work to my assistant, which she did under my supervision.“Are you okay, Freya?” Grace, my assistant asked.“Yes, I'm okay. Just a little bit under the weather.” I let out while she gave me a scrutiny look. She wasn't quite convinced, and I could understand her concern. It wasn't like me to keep to myself or even push
DennisFor the first time since Freya and I started dating, I was so mad at her. The anger was so much that I just had to leave the room before I did something I would love to regret. Besides, any mistake could ruin all my hard work and plans. The last three years of my life have been strategic, and I wasn’t going to ruin that just because a b*tch was being disrespectful…I slammed the door shut and it gave a loud bang. I crashed into the bed and flung the extra pillows all over the room. I was trying to let out my anger.“How dare she disrespect me like that? That f*cking b*tch? Does she really think I love her that much to tolerate all her nonsense? If not for…” I stopped for a minute and looked around the place.It felt odd, like someone was watching. I stood up and then looked around the room, not even sure what I was looking for.I went back to bed and started battling with my raging thoughts…I was never in love with Freya. Right from the start, it had always been about money…“
Sonia“No… no… no! Please… don’t... please…” I was literally begging the lines not to come up. I threw the strip in the bin and then pulled out another one. That was the fifth test.I had been feeling sick lately, but I didn’t pay much attention to it until yesterday, when I woke up and started throwing up. Washing off my mouth and face, it occurred to me that something was off. The sickness had lingered for over a week, and it was always in the morning. It started off as a mild dizziness when I woke up and then turned into nausea. Throwing up on two mornings gave me an idea what might be wrong. I desperately kicked against the thought.Pregnancy? Never! I can’t afford to be pregnant, not at this time. It would ruin a lot of things. But then, I needed to be sure, so as I was coming back from the office yesterday, I stopped by at the store and got a box of the pregnancy home test kit.The first strip showed I was pregnant. The second one too, and the next. Pulling out the sixth one
FreyaI got back from work a few nights ago and Dennis had indeed moved out of the room. No apology, no remorse… nothing. He moved everything out.The moment I entered the room, I just knew something was different. I went into the closet and it became clear. He had moved out. Not even a single piece of his clothing was left behind.Ever since we moved into the penthouse, we’ve slept in the same room every night. Even on movie nights when we sleep off in the living room while watching movies, we still sleep in each other’s arms. Now we are apart and need to stay apart.I sat there in the center of the closet and scrolled through my gallery. Our pictures, the sweet intimacy we shared. Everything is all down the drain.Every day after then has been a struggle. I tried to keep up a front in the presence of Dennis. I act like I wasn’t bothered, and he does the same too.We both go to work without seeing each other and in the evening when we run into each other in the kitchen or around the
SoniaThe moment my car pulled into the massive estate, I knew I had stepped into a world I had only dreamed of. The entrance was grand… too grand. The kind of grand that makes one feel insignificant just by standing there. The gates, taller than any I had ever seen, opened slowly, almost theatrically, as if to remind me that power came with patience. My ride cruised in, and my heart pounded in my chest. This is it. This is the life I wanted, the life I deserved.A woman dressed in an elegant but professional black outfit stood at the entrance as my car rolled to a stop. The moment the door opened, she gestured for me to follow. She didn’t ask for my name, didn’t need to confirm who I was. They already knew. That was power… when people anticipated your arrival without you needing to announce yourself. I followed her through the vast marble-floored corridor, my heels clicking softly against the pristine surface. Everything was white, silver, and gold-polished, perfect, untouchable.I w
VictorLooking into Freya’s beautiful eyes, I saw everything I ever wanted. There was love, admiration, a deep unspoken promise of forever… most importantly, I saw myself in those eyes, and I wanted to live there forever. The thought of proposing to her had been lingering in my mind for a while. Throughout our trip, it was constantly throbbing in my mind, but I had planned to wait until all the dramas in our lives had settled, until there were no distractions and I could make it perfect.But after tonight… after that mind-blowing, impulsive, and passionate moment we had just shared in the restroom, I realized that there was no such thing as the perfect moment. Love wasn’t about waiting for things to be ideal, it was about seizing the moment, embracing the unpredictability, and making every second count. Freya was my unpredictability, my fire, my safe place, my worst distraction and my storm all in one. And I didn’t want to risk losing her to time or circumstances. I wanted to make i
FreyaThe restaurant was nothing short of exquisite, the kind of place where the air smelled of truffle oil and fine wine, where the chandeliers twinkled like captured stars, and where the waiters moved with an elegance that made them seem like they were floating. The soft hum of a piano in the background set the perfect ambiance as we were led to our private VIP booth. Everything was immaculate, and I could tell my father had pulled out all the stops for this evening.That wasn’t our first time there. I had been there with my dad a couple of times, and Victor and I had been there too… only as friends though…Victor, ever the gentleman, pulled my chair out before taking his seat, flashing me that smirk that always made my heart skip a beat. It was a strange yet beautiful feeling, watching him fit so seamlessly into this world, a world he was already accustomed to, yet feeling as though he was nervous because it involved me.The waiters wasted no time in pouring the finest red wine int
VictorWe both hopped into the car, and even after the teasing and daring, we still shared a sweet kiss before I started the car.But as soon as I gripped the steering wheel, my fingers tightened involuntarily, my knuckles slightly paling from the pressure and a wash of nervousness coursed through me.That was unusual and so ridiculous. I had been in meetings with the most powerful and intimidating men in the world, men who controlled empires, wielded wealth like a sword, and dictated the flow of markets. And yet, here I was, my heartbeat slightly erratic, my palms faintly damp, all because I was about to meet my girlfriend’s father.Freya noticed. Of course, she did. She was attuned to my moods more than anyone else. Her laughter rang through the car, soft yet teasing. “Victor, you need to relax. You’re acting like you’re about to be interrogated in a high-stakes trial.” She let out while I exhaled sharply, keeping my eyes on the road. “That’s exactly what this feels like. Your fath
Freya The morning sunlight streamed through the curtains, casting a warm golden glow across the room. It took a second before I finally processed what really woke me. It was that sweet touch… his sweet touch. I looked to my side and saw Victor’s hand fondling my ears. My body still aches in the best way possible, a reminder of the passion Victor and I shared all evening and night. I could still fill him inside me, his arms wrapping around my waist, his breathing deep and steady against my neck. And how I smiled, running my fingers along his forearm, my heart swelling with contentment as we both came. I thought I had had enough until now… his touch was doing something to me body and I liked it. “What’s on your mind?” I asked while I raised a leg on the bed and then traced from my lips down to my thigh. I stopped between my legs and then spread them.“Nothing other than how I plan on devouring you. I’m going to eat you up completely, but slowly and then fast till you almost pass out.
SoniaI tightened my grip on Dennis’ arm as we stepped into my apartment. He was still groaning in pain, his weight leaning against me, but I managed to guide him to the couch. My heart was racing, but not for the reasons he might have thought. This was going exactly the way I planned.“Sit,” I said softly, placing a pillow behind him as he collapsed onto the couch. His shirt was stained with blood from the cuts and bruises on his face. His eye was already swelling shut, his lip split. A complete mess. “You look like you got run over by a truck.” I teased him while he let out a breathy chuckle but winced immediately. “Feels like it too.” He replied too.I walked to the cabinet and grabbed my first aid kit. My hands worked methodically, but my mind was elsewhere. I had already mapped out my next steps, and getting Dennis under my control was at the center of it. He thought I was just being kind. That was his first mistake.I knelt in front of him, unscrewing a bottle of antiseptic. “Th
FreyaThe moment we stepped into the house, Victor stretched his arms and let out a deep, satisfied sigh. “Finally home,” he murmured, his voice laced with exhaustion and contentment.I watched him as he dropped his bag and loosened a few buttons on his shirt. His eyes, still filled with desire from the wild ride we had in the car, softened as he looked at me. “I need a shower,” he announced, taking a step toward the staircase.I quickly stepped in front of him, blocking his path with a playful smile. “Oh no, Mr. Whitmore, not yet.”He arched a brow, his lips curling into an amused smirk. “Oh? And why not? You planning on joining me?”“As tempting as that sounds,” I teased, placing my hands on his chest, “I insist that you eat first.”He let out a chuckle, wrapping his arms around my waist. “Freya, I just had a full-course meal not too long ago.” His fingers played with the hem of my dress. “And then I had you for dessert in the car. I think I’m pretty satisfied.”I smacked his chest
SoniaThe moment my phone lit up with Dennis’s name, I felt a thrill rush through me. “What the actual f*ck?!” I muttered under my breathe. Dennis was actually calling my phone right now. So, my plan worked after all. I had been waiting for this moment, and now that it was here, I wanted to savor it. Instead of answering right away, I let it ring, tapping my nails against the marble counter of my kitchen.I had to be sure too. I wouldn’t want to answer it, not sure if it was my plan or a random call from him. But what are the odds though? He has literally ignored and abandoned me so why now, if it wasn’t my plan working??Still, I quickly scrolled through my contacts and dialed my guy… the one I had paid handsomely to give Dennis a little taste of hell. He picked up on the first ring. “It’s done,” he confirmed, his voice carrying a smug satisfaction that mirrored my own. “Your boy’s barely standing.”I smirked, feeling an odd mix of satisfaction and amusement. “Good. And you made sur
Dennis The moment Freya and Victor got into the car, I could already feel my blood boiling, and my vision turning red. I wasn’t an idiot… I knew exactly what was happening inside that car. The way the vehicle shook, and the frequent movement all made it obvious that they were having sex.My grip tightened on the steering wheel until my knuckles turned white. I clenched my jaw so hard it hurt, and my breathing became uneven. The thought of her, my Freya, in the arms of another man… no, worse, losing herself in pleasure with that bastard made my stomach twist with rage. I had to look away for a moment before I did something reckless, something stupid.I forced myself to inhale deeply through my nose, but it barely helped. My hands shook with the urge to do something… anything to rip the bastard away from her, to make him pay for touching what was mine. I imagined ramming my car into them, sending them flying off the road. It would be so easy. One hard slam on the gas, and I could plow
