Freya

The drive home was silent, but not in a peaceful way. It was the kind of silence that pressed on my chest, making it harder to breathe. I stared out the window, watching the city blur past, but nothing stuck in my mind. It was as if my thoughts had shut off completely, leaving only this hollow, aching void inside me. I was completely blank.

My dad didn’t push me to talk. He was always good at knowing when I needed space. After all that drama, he knew I knew my time alone to process things. He just drove, his hands steady on the wheel, his presence calm and grounding. For that, I was grateful.

Halfway home, his phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen, frowning slightly before answering.

“Yes?” he said curtly.

I couldn’t hear the other end of the conversation, but his expression shifted to one of realization, and then frustration. He rubbed a hand down his face.

“I totally forgot. I have some things going on at the moment, it completely slipped my mind… No, I’ll handle it.” H

  • Too Late To Love, I want Revenge Now!   Sonia is nothing but a shameless fraud!

    FreyaI woke up in my mom’s bed, more relieved than ever. I sat up and stayed in bed for some minutes. I had woken up briefly in the middle of the night, thought about everything again and determined not to let it get to me. I knew what I was getting into right from time so it shouldn’t be so much bother that things were going this way. People will always talk, and maybe it’s just my turn to get talked about. I’m just going to keep my head high while I get my ‘win’ and staying at home and wallowing wasn’t an option. I’d just drown in my own thoughts if I didn’t keep myself busy. I stood up, grabbed the family photo, and made my way back to my room. I sat the photo by my bedside and went into the bathroom to freshen up. In no time, I was done and all dressed in a sharp navy suit, I grabbed my bag and made my way downstairs. To my surprise, my dad was already seated at the dining table, scrolling through his tablet while sipping coffee. The slight furrow in his brows gave away his

  • Too Late To Love, I want Revenge Now!   Making a deal with Sonia…

    FreyaMy morning went by in a rush. I would be meeting with Sonia today, and I didn’t want that to affect my work, so I made sure to attend to everything on my morning schedule. The moment I sat in my chair, I was buried in work and didn’t even realize time had gone by so quickly until my phone rang. Once I saw Victor’s face lit up my screen, I knew it was noon already. I had told him to just call me when he gets here and not bother coming up into the office.“I’m outside,” he said simply. “Be right down,” I replied, “I just need to wrap up the final touches on this email… and I’m done! I’ll be with you in a second.” I let out and then hung up.I quickly grabbed my bag and smoothed my outfit while I made my way out of the office. My heart thudded as I hurried to the elevator, desperate not to keep him waiting another second.When I stepped outside, Victor was waiting near his car, leaning against the passenger side door. His calm demeanor always had a way of grounding me, even when

  • Too Late To Love, I want Revenge Now!   You make my life so much easier, Victor

    Freya As I raced out of the building, I felt a rush of emotions. Her words kept pairing back, and I couldn’t take it anymore. The betrayal, the lies, the sheer audacity… it was all too much. My chest felt tight, like I couldn’t pull in enough air, and the dizziness hit me out of nowhere as I kept stumbling on.The world around me spun, and my legs started getting heavy till they couldn’t carry my weight anymore. I knew I was going to fall. My head was so light and my eyes were blank. I was going to pass out and soon enough, my legs eventually gave way. I braced for the hard impact of the pavement, but it never came. Strong arms caught me just in time. “Freya!” Victor’s voice was sharp with concern, and he quickly guided me to lean against his chest. “Breathe, Freya. Just breathe.” “I… I can’t,” I choked out, struggling to draw in air. “Yes, you can,” he said firmly, his hand gently rubbing my back. “Focus on me. In through your nose, out through your mouth. Slowly.” He let out

  • Too Late To Love, I want Revenge Now!   I want you badly, Freya!

    VictorI couldn’t take my eyes off Freya as she sat across from me. She looked even more beautiful than she had ever been. It’s evening already and her light makeup was still sitting perfectly on her pretty face, further enhanced by the restaurant’s warm lights. There was something about the way she carried herself, the way she’d put Sonia in her place earlier… it was magical. I’d always known she was special, but today, I’d seen a new side of her. Strong, unyielding, commanding. I was in awe. The bill arrived, and I handled it quickly, eager to step out into the fresh air. When we got outside, Freya paused, looking around at the softly lit scenery surrounding the restaurant. “I don’t feel like going home yet,” she said quietly, her gaze distant but calm. My heart skipped. I was so happy. I didn’t want the evening to end either. “The restaurant has a beautiful garden and some scenic spots,” I offered. “Why don’t we take a look around?” She smiled, a soft, grateful curve of her

  • Too Late To Love, I want Revenge Now!   Ready to give love another chance?

    Freya The ride home was painfully quiet. I hated awkward silences, and this one stretched between Victor and me like a heavy fog. That was why, after our little talk, I wanted to take a ride home, but he wouldn’t let me. I knew it would be awkward being in the same car, but he insisted on taking me home. In his words - after all, I brought you out here. It’s courtesy that I take you home. Besides, I need to be sure you’re home and safe. I wouldn’t be able to rest if I don’t drop you off myself…I stared out the window, trying to focus on the passing streetlights, but all I could think about was his confession earlier. I felt… conflicted. Victor, as always, was polite and composed, his hands steady on the wheel, his jaw set in a way that made him unreadable. When we pulled up in front of the house, I hesitated before unbuckling my seatbelt. “Freya,” he said softly, finally finding his voice and breaking the silence. I turned to him, clutching my bag tighter. “Yes?” I let out so

    StaceyI had barely ended the call with Freya when my phone buzzed again. I glanced at the screen and sighed. Victor. I didn’t even need to pick up to know why he was calling, but I answered anyway. “Hey, Victor,” I said, keeping my tone casual as I leaned back into the couch. “Stace…” His voice was low and hesitant, which was so unlike him that I immediately knew this was serious. “I think I screwed up.” He let out while I smirked a little to myself but kept my voice neutral. “What did you do this time?” I quizzed.There was a long pause, followed by a deep sigh. “I told Freya.” “Told her what?” I asked, even though I already knew where this was going. “About how I feel,” he admitted. His voice sounded tight, like he was bracing himself for me to scold him. “And?” I prompted, trying to keep the amusement out of my voice. “And I think I made a mistake,” he said quickly, his words tumbling over each other. “She’s going through so much right now… Sonia, Dennis, all the chaos

    VictorThe doorbell jolted me out of sleep, echoing through the house like an alarm. I had slept late thinking about Freya and it was just overwhelming. Talking to Stacey had helped a bit, but the relief cleared off once doubts and errors started creeping in. I stayed in bed for a long time, tossing around until I was finally able to force myself to sleep…Hearing the doorbell, I was going to ignore it at first, since I wasn’t expecting anyone, but then, my heart raced, and for a split second, I thought it might be Freya. What if she came over to the house instead? I didn’t even check the time… I just jumped out of bed, threw on a shirt, and hurried downstairs. A million thoughts swirled in my head as I approached the door. Is she here? Did she decide to come with me after all? But why would she come to the house though? We agreed to meet at the airport…But when I opened the door, my heart sank. “Anna?” I let out, my voice laced with surprise and disappointment, which I was sure sh

  • Too Late To Love, I want Revenge Now!   We all deserve to be loved…

    Freya I woke up feeling like my chest was weighed down by a hundred bricks. The room was silent, except for the faint hum of the heater in the bathroom, but my thoughts were anything but quiet. I couldn’t stop replaying the events of the past few hours. Victor professing his love… Stacey’s words… and my own conflicted emotions. Was I rushing into something again?That question haunted me as I stared at the ceiling. I had a pattern, and I hated that I couldn’t seem to break free from it. Dennis had been my rebound after my last heartbreak, and look where that got me. I didn’t even take time to heal then. I just jumped in headfirst, hoping love would fix me. In my defense, I actually didn’t want to jump into another relationship that fast… I had made up my mind not to even try anything called love again but that evil b*tch, Sonia. She made me believe Dennis was the man I was made for and just the right piece for my life to have meaning. Silly me… I fell for it…Dennis is out of the
