Freya

Throughout the drive back home, my mind was blank. I intentionally forced myself not to think. I know how carried away I get when my mind is shuffling through thoughts. I almost drove myself into an accident when I was going earlier. I’m not going to do that to myself again this time.

Kill myself over a man who doesn’t give a f*ck about me and busy screwing my best friend?

Best friend? Really? How could you still be calling that back-biting b*tch ass wh*re your best friend? - a thought rose in my head.

I took in a deep breath and then let it out slowly as I blanked out my mind. I pulled into the driveway and then went into the house.

I was sleek and quiet, making sure not to wake him up.

Watching him snore away like his life depended on it, I was filled with rage again. I grabbed my pillow and for a second there, I felt the urge to stifle the life out of him with the pillow… but I didn’t.

Instead, I curled into his arms and pretended like nothing happened. He pulled me in closer and placed a peek at my neck, which irritated me so much that I felt like throwing up.

“I love you, babe…” he let out drowsily while I rolled my eyes.

How would I even know if he was saying that to me or his true love? Of course, it had to be Sonia.

I closed my eyes in sleep and the next time I opened them, it was morning. Looking beside me, the bed was empty. I heard the tap running and knew he was in the bathroom.

Slowly, I got up, walked up to the mirror and saw the diamond glitter on my new necklace.

I took a deep sigh and then went downstairs into the kitchen to prepare his breakfast.

“Morning love…” I suddenly heard his voice behind me.

“Morning,” I let out, but didn’t turn to look at him.

“What’s wrong, love?” He quizzed while he grabbed my waist and turned my face to him.

He stared intently into my eyes and then kissed my nose.

“Nothing. I’m good, how was your night? And ohh, thanks for the… necklace, I really love it. It really suits my skin and then initials, what do they mean?” I quizzed and, as expected, he suddenly had a cough.

I quickly poured him a glass of water which he managed to only take a sip of before passing it back to me.

“You’re welcome, you know I would do anything for you. I’m sorry about our little fight last night. I promise to do better.”

“Is that why you’re still a bit cold to me this morning?” He asked and I found myself smiling.

Of course, by all means, ignore the question and change the narrative? Make it about me!

“It’s fine. I’m better now,” I replied.

“Glad you are. Next time, don’t overthink it, it makes you overreact, and it’s not a good look on you.” He chimed in while I smiled again.

I dished out his food and he gobbled it down in a rush. He tried to engage me in his usual small talks, but I just wasn’t in the mood.

“Are you sure you’re fine, love? You’re a bit quiet this morning and that’s unlike you,” he said after taking the last bite.

“I’m okay, I’m just feeling a little unwell. I don’t think I’ll be going to work today.” I retorted while he immediately pulled me into his arms, smiling and kissing me all over the face.

“I’m sorry, love. Should I stay back at home to take care of you? Why did you even wake up so early then? You should have stayed in bed and rest more. You didn’t have to do all the cooking. I really enjoyed it though. I won’t function well if I don’t start the day with your delicious delicacies…” he let out.

“I would have loved to stay at home with you, but I have loads of work at the office. Remember the huge project I told you about? It’s giving me a lot of tough time and needs my full attention,” he added.

“I understand. I’ll be fine, I just need to rest. Your work shouldn’t stop because of me.” He nodded and then waved me goodbye.

I stood there and watched him walk away. I waited till his car was out of the compound before grabbing my phone to call Sonia.

“Heyyy babe!!!” She exclaimed.

“Sonia… Dennis is cheating on me!” I let out and then burst into tears.

“Oh my goodness, Dennis is cheating on you? He wouldn’t dare! Freya, are you sure? You know how much he’s in love with you. He doesn’t even look at other women.” She retorted.

“He is, I know he is,” I insisted.

“How are you sure? Do you have evidence? Did you see him with anyone? Talk to me babe, I can’t help you if you don’t tell me.” She pushed while I just continued sobbing.

“I just know he is. I can’t even go to work. I’m sick.” I let out.

“Okay then, I was about going to work, but I’ll take the day off and come see you. Just put your mind at rest and don’t do anything till I get there. Don’t tell anyone either, you can’t trust people to keep your secrets, you know.” She assured me and then hung up.

I dropped my phone and quickly did the dishes and also prepared some snacks for the week.

I hadn’t left the kitchen when I heard Sonia pull in front of the house.

“Babe!!!” She screamed while I dried my hands and went to meet her.

The moment I opened the door, she was already there. She quickly pulled me into a hug while I burst into tears again. She held me tighter and kept muttering soothing words in my ears. I couldn’t even hear most of it, but I didn’t stop her until she released her grip.

She stared into my eyes and then hugged me again. This time, it was brief. She then took my hand and led me to the living room.

I sat on the couch, and she sat beside me, facing and staring into my eyes.

“Did you catch him with someone?” She asked while I nodded.

She immediately turned red and a bit jumpy. Even her voice was starting to shake as she continued.

“You caught him with someone? Who? Where? When?” she rushed, but I didn't answer.

I just took my phone, swiped it and then turned the screen to her face. It was the anonymous text message I got that I showed her.

“But this doesn’t mean anything. It could be your rivals trying to cause separation between you two.” She quickly chimed in while I dropped the phone. She wanted to take the phone from me, but I didn’t let her.

“Dennis has changed, Sonia. I’ve been noticing the little changes, but I have never read any meaning of them. I just assumed that it was work. You know, ever since I became the manager, and he became the leader for about three teams, we have been busy, and we just started drifting apart. I thought that was all to it, so I thought of spicing things up.”

“I got that text message yesterday and I went straight to the hotel, thinking it was a surprise from him.”

“It was actually a surprise, just not the one I was expecting. I found my fiancé with another woman. He had another woman in his arms and he was kissing and making out with him like his life depended on it. He has never even kissed me like that ever!” I let out pitifully, but looking at Sonia, she was the pitiful one.

She had started to fan herself and sweating even under the full blasting air conditioner.

“Whats happening? Are you okay? You're sweating? The air conditioning is one. Why are you sweating this much?” I quizzed while she quickly held my hand.

“I'm fine, I'm just shocked to hear all that you said. I still find it hard to believe, but since you saw him yourself, what about the lady he was with? Do you know her? Did you confront them?” she asked while I shook my head.

“I couldn't see the lady’s face, Dennis' back was blocking my view, all I knew was he was with someone. I was even too shocked and hurt to confront them. I just went back out and have been crying my eyes out since then. I can’t believe Dennis could cheat on me. Why? Just why? I’ve tried my best to satisfy him, Sonia, why would he betray me like that?” I let out and then started crying again.

“What about pictures? Did you take any? You know I might know the lady, and we’ll know what to do from there.” She asked.

“No, I didn’t take any pictures. The thought didn’t 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,” I retorted while she let out a deep sigh. I could tell it was a sigh of relief.

No pictures, no proof. Her secret was safe…

    SoniaMy 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 b

    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

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

  • Too Late To Love, I want Revenge Now!   I will ruin her!

    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

  • Too Late To Love, I want Revenge Now!   I’m dedicated to ruining Sonia!

    FreyaI made sure to leave the office an hour early. I didn’t want to keep Adrian waiting. That was one of my unwritten rules, never keep a client waiting and, apart from that not being a good look on me. I like to get to a meeting venue earlier so I can put things in place and be sure there are no mistakes that could ruin things for me and the company. As I stepped into the elegant fine dining restaurant, the aroma of rich spices and freshly baked bread filled the air. My heels clicked softly against the marble floor as I did a quick scan of the place and I was impressed. A polite young waiter greeted me with a warm smile."Good evening, ma'am. Do you have a reservation?" he asked.I smiled back. "Actually, I'd like to speak with the manager, please."The waiter’s expression shifted to curiosity but maintained professionalism. "Of course, ma'am. Please follow me."I was led to a secluded area near the bar, and within moments, the manager appeared. He was a tall, middle-aged man with

  • Too Late To Love, I want Revenge Now!   I’ve got a billionaire to impress!

    FreyaMy favorite song was on repeat while I sang along and pretended the steering wheel was my drum. I was in such a good mood, the mood has registered with me ever since I put Sonia in her place at the dinner last night. And then the huge deal with Adrian made it so worthwhile. I just couldn’t get over the feeling, it was so exciting. I could barely wait till I got home to share the news with Victor. The moment the car pulled in front of the house, I made straight for the front door, ran upstairs and immediately called Victor. He listened patiently while I narrated with much excitement. When I finally finished, he revealed how proud he was of me and I couldn’t stop blushing. He was even prouder about the Sonia part. Though, he wished I had shamed her even more, but he was still impressed with the little I did. He had hinted at how he would have wickedly embarrassed her so much that she wouldn’t show her face in front of a man for months. When he said that, I laughed so much till my

    SoniaI walked out of that event hall with my head held high. Not because I wasn’t shaken. Not because I wasn’t furious. But because I had to. I had to at least pretend I had control over the situation, even when my entire world had just come crashing down on me. Inside, I wanted to scream. To jump at Freya and dig my fingers into every corner of her face. But more than that, I wanted to undo what just happened. Adrian was supposed to be mine. That has been the plan ever since I sighted him at the store and walked up to him. I have spent every hour since then playing my part perfectly. Laughing at all his jokes, pretending to be fascinated by his boring business talk, wearing the exact type of dress I knew would tickle his fancy, touching him just enough to keep him wanting more but never giving in completely. It was all working. I knew it was working. Until stupid Freya decided to play the saint and ruin it all. I can’t even believe the speed with which she opened her mouth, and

  • Too Late To Love, I want Revenge Now!   Checkmate!!!

    FreyaI had never been more satisfied in my life. Standing there, watching Sonia’s entire new world crumble right before my eyes, was a moment I would never forget. She must have put a lot of effort into starting all over again with a new naive billionaire bjt I had just ruined all that for her. The way her smile faltered. The way the blood drained from her face. The way her fingers twitched, like she was scrambling for a way out but knew there was none. She had been exposed. And by the way Adrian’s entire demeanor changed, the flicker of realization in his sharp eyes, the disgust settling in his expression, it was clear that whatever web of lies she had spun around him had just snapped. Sonia must have felt it too because, in an instant, she switched tactics. “Adrian, baby, whatever she said…” she started, reaching for his arm. “Don’t touch me.” His voice was cold. Unforgiving. Sonia froze, her hand hovering in mid-air before she let it drop, looking up at him with wid

    Sonia“Alrighty… I’ll be right here.” I said to Adrian while he left to briefly see one of his colleagues. As I watched him get mixed up in the crowd. I finally let out a deep sigh of relief. Ever since we stepped into the hall, it has been one introduction after the other. I liked it though, especially because he was so proud of being seen with a beautiful damsel like me. I enjoyed the attention too, the lingering effect I had on them all. “Oh my goodness, why didn’t I even think about this?” I thought to myself as I scanned the whole place again. It was full of billionaires, men with wealth and power. I should have invested more in getting myself into places like this instead of getting stuck on Dennis, whose first instinct was to betray me in the face of trouble.I mean, who does that? It’s not his fault anyway. I clearly wasted my time with the wrong man. Just imagine Adrian, his girlfriend doesn’t even have to do much, and he wouldn’t think twice before getting her the whole u

    Freya I was untying my robe, ready to step into the shower, my phone rang. I glanced at the screen and immediately smiled seeing Victor’s face.Without wasting a second, I answered, my voice soft and teasing. “Missing me already?” The second I saw his face on the screen, though, my teasing smile faltered. His expression was tense, his brows pulled together in a way that told me something was off. I straightened up. “What’s wrong?” Victor let out a small sigh, rubbing the back of his neck. “The meeting got extended.” I blinked. “Extended?” He nodded, looking visibly frustrated. “Yeah. It was supposed to wrap up today, but there are still some loose ends to tie up. I won’t be able to leave first thing in the morning like we planned.” He let out a rough sigh. “I hate this. I want to be there with you.” I couldn’t help but smile at how sincere he sounded. “Victor, it’s fine.” I tilted my head, trying to reassure him. “It’s just a day or two, right?

    Sonia“I don’t want to take up too much of your time,” he said, rubbing the back of his neck. “I just wanted to make sure you got home safely.” He finally found his voice after furrowing his brows in hesitation as he considered my offer. I smiled sweetly, tilting my head just a bit. “Oh, come on. It’s just a glass of juice. Five minutes, tops.” I let out a soft laugh. “Unless you’re worried I’ll poison you?” He chuckled, shaking his head. “That’s not it.” “Then what?” I pouted playfully. “You did something nice for me today. Let me return the favor, even if it’s just with a simple drink.” I could see the internal debate happening behind his eyes, but I knew I had him. Finally, with a small sigh, he nodded. “Alright. But just for a bit.” I grinned. “Great! Come on in.” I led him inside, making sure to sway my hips just enough to keep his eyes on me. Once inside, I gestured toward the couch. “Make yourself comfortable.” He looked around briefly before settling into the plus

    SoniaAs I stepped into the store, I barely spared a glance at the bright fluorescent lights or the soft hum of customers moving around me. My focus was entirely on getting my groceries and getting out.Not that I particularly enjoyed shopping for basic necessities. No, I hated it. It reminded me of how low I had sunk, how far I had fallen from the life I once had. The life where I could walk into high-end boutiques and splurge on designer bags without batting an eye. But now? Now, I was stuck here, clutching my nearly empty wallet and calculating every single item I picked up like some desperate, broke girl. I sucked in a sharp breath, trying not to let my irritation show as I scanned the price tags. Every single one seemed to mock me. A box of cereal was enough to take out a chunk of what little I had left. A bottle of milk? That’s practically robbery. A muscle in my jaw ticked as I stared at my basket, already feeling the heavy weight of frustration settle in my chest. This

    SoniaI sat on the couch in my tiny, almost-suffocating apartment, my nails tapping impatiently against the armrest. The cheap fabric scratched against my skin. Of course, it was manageable, but it was such a far cry from the luxurious furniture I once lounged on without a care. My phone screen lit up with another failed call attempt. Blocked.I gritted my teeth, fighting the urge to throw the damn thing across the room. Dennis had completely shut me out. No texts, no calls, no way of reaching him. I let out a bitter laugh. After everything I did for him. After all the times I had his back, all the times I fought for him, lied for him, gave up my damn dignity for him… this is how he repays me? I even went against my best friend and this is all I get in return? He’s treating me like I’m nothing. Like I never even mattered. The worst part? I knew Dennis. I knew how his mind worked.
