Freya“Freya??” A voice suddenly rose from behind. “Dr. Robbins?” I turned and saw Sonia hurrying towards us.“Sonia!” I exclaimed and then moved closer to hug her, but she edged me and approached Stacey.“What are you all doing here? You didn’t tell me you knew each other.” She said to Stacey and turned to me too.“Actually, Stacey is my friend from high school, but we lost contact and recently reconnected. We came here to catch up and shop a little.” I quickly stepped forward and explained. “Really? That’s nice… but you should have told me you were coming here. You know I love to shop for new arrivals.” She let out, and I was glad she was convinced.“I’m sorry, I actually thought about it, but I felt you would be busy at work. You know I’m my own boss, so I get to take a break when I feel like it.” I made it sound like a harmless tease, but really I meant to take a jab at her.“Ha ha ha… I know right.” She chimed in, obviously getting the gist.“Wow… you look good in that. If you
Sonia“That b*tvh!” I cussed under my breath as I rolled my eyes after I was pushed out of the store.Freya just crossed a line she shouldn’t have dared move close to. I just couldn’t believe she would embarrass me like that, and she didn't even stop there. She chose that stupid ugly Victor over me…Well… he’s not ugly, if anything, he’s so handsome and the sex? It was f*cking good. It was so good that I was going to do it again and again, but then, 'smart pants Dennis' caught me and I just had to change the narrative to suit myself. I sacrificed sex for money, and it was worth it though. Victor cowardly bowed to our requests, and we cashed out big…It was almost a minute and Freya was still inside. Says a lot! She’s not coming. She lied. I took my phone, swiped a couple of times and in no time, a car pulled over beside me and I hopped in.“Take me to the Meridian hotel!” I said to the driver and then leaned back, making sure to replay the scene at the store over and over again. I d
SoniaThe more I thought about what just happened, the angrier I got. I just couldn’t believe Dennis could treat me like that. He didn’t only yell at me, he asked me to leave his place. This was the same Dennis who never wants me to leave his presence. We always want to be around each other. Even when he had to move in with Freya, it was a hassle. I was the one who motivated him and made him focus on the goal. And now, he doesn’t want me around anymore. Thinking deeply about it all, I could only come up with one thing. Dennis was starting to have feelings for Freya. I’d noticed for a while now that he had started getting jealous, thinking she was cheating on him since she wouldn’t beg for his attention anymore. This just confirmed my assumptions, and sooner or later he would definitely bail on our plans and betray me. Not that I was really pained about losing the money. Freya’s money is only little compared to Jeff’s and I have him hooked right where I want him. He spends on me wi
VictorSpending the day with Freya and Stacey was the best decision I’ve made in a while. On my way to the store, I was having second thoughts. I wasn’t sure if Freya would appreciate me showing up without notice and also, I’d abandoned loads of work at the office and I kept thinking if it was worth it. Thinking about the amount of fun I had, it was worth every second. Stacey kept teasing me every chance she got but, thankfully, Freya was there to always refute the claims… I slammed the bedroom door shut, dumped my things on the bed and went straight into the bathroom. I stood under the shower and just enjoyed myself as the warm water washed over me. I finally stepped out, grabbed a towel and walked into the room naked. My phone was ringing. It was one of the security guys that I hired to keep watch on Sonia and Dennis at the hotel. Freya seemed to underestimate the lengths those two could go just to ruin her, but I wasn't going to sit around and let that happen. That was why I h
DennisAfter Sonia left, I hopped in the shower and had a long cold shower. My mind wasn’t on the s*x I just had, I only pretended to be into it because of Sonia. She would have noticed my wandering mind and I couldn’t let that happen since I didn’t have an explanation for why I was feeling that way. I tried to figure it out too, but nothing came up. All I know is it started the moment we found out Victor and Freya had been entangled in the past.Freya had the chance to be married to one of the richest and eligible bachelors in this city, and she turned it down. She chose me and now that she thinks I’m cheating, she might actually give it a rethink. No… she isn’t giving it a rethink, she had decided to give it a try. How else would they be going out together? Why do I care though? That was the problem I had yet to solve. I have Sonia. We’re married and I love her so much. I don’t care about Freya, all I want is her money, so I can give her the best life… and maybe our kids if we e
FreyaVictor tasted like my favorite ice-cream. Strawberry. His lips were soft, and I didn't mind getting drowned in him. I knew it wasn’t right. Kissing him. I shouldn’t be doing it, but I couldn’t bring myself to stop either. It had been so long since I felt this way, since I had been kissed so gently and passionately and every second got me deeper. My head screamed at me to stop but the feelings surging in my belly kept me there… until I felt his hand travel down my arms to my lower back and then, before it landed on my butt, I suddenly felt the strength to pull back.I was back to my senses, though I was gasping for breath too, I had been too drowned in his sweetness.“What did we just do? We shouldn’t have done that. I’m so sorry, I should have…”“But I’m not sorry…” he suddenly cut in sharply, shutting me off and making me stare deep into his eyes.What did he mean? “I mean, yes… of course, I shouldn’t have come at you all of a sudden, and I’m sorry for that. But I’m not sorry
Dennis“Hey, I’m at the door…” Mia’s voice sounded over the phone just before she hung up.I got up, hurried to the door and opened it while she strolled in, with a naughty smile plastered across her face. “That was fast. I wasn’t expecting you for another five minutes.” I let out as I closed the door and then turned back to find her naked.Mia had stripped naked and not even her lingerie was left on her body. It was all bare for my eyes to feed on.“Like what you see?” She asked when she saw my mouth opened and my eyes glued on her body.She always wore tight dresses that hugged every curve in her body, so I always knew she had a great body. I just never imagined it would look like what was standing before me. She was a beautiful work of art. To think I was having a rethink before she arrived. Sonia had crossed my mind as I pulled into the hotel, and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do that to her. I changed my mind and was going to call things off with Mia just as she arrived. I had
SoniaA broad smile lined my face as the plane touched down in Atlanta. My heart raced a bit as I thought about what Jeff’s reaction would be when he sees me. I kept this a secret from him until the last minute. Not like I wanted to though, Dennis had pissed me off, and I needed to get away from him to clear my head. It wasn’t until the last minute when I was about boarding that I called Jeff. He was surprised but also happy, especially since he had asked me to come pay him a visit, but I came up with an excuse.“Are you sure you're okay with it?” I asked, pretending like I was okay to cancel if he didn't want it.“Of course, babe. Don’t worry about anything. I’ve got it all handled.” Hearing him say that floored me. Talk about a man being so intentional about his woman.True to his word, the moment I stepped off the plane, a polished black town car was waiting for me, the driver holding a sign with my name. My surprise turned into wonder as I sank into the luxurious leather seats. T
Freya“I’m really not mad at you… I’m mad at the fact that I got to know about it online, and not directly from my daughter. I mean, you should never have put up with such disrespect… and trust me, that bastard is going to get what he deserves. I will make sure of it!” My dad let out as we walked out of the room. “No daddy, you really don’t have to do anything. I’ve got it all under control.” I quickly let out while he turned at me and scoffed.“That’s not going to happen. No one maltreats my daughter that way and gets away with it. I’m going to deal with him.” He said fiercely,“Trust me, dad. I need to do this myself. I have my plan and my friend is helping me out too.” I pressed.“And who is this new friend of yours that I don’t know about?” He quizzed.“Who said anything about new? We go way back, and he’s been really helpful since the whole thing started.” I explained, and it wasn’t until I saw the smirk on his face that I realized he had misunderstood me.“So he’s a ‘he’. That’
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,
