Author's PovSmirking like an untamed beast Leonard walked past the trembling girl openly telling her where he was heading, her body worked on its own, and leaving her aunt's support she ran outside only to find Leonard and Evan standing in front of each other letting their glaring gazes stuck at the spot."Look, the ditching bitch is here," Leonard's venom-filled voice attacked Evan with no mercy making the man clench his hands into tight fists."And look opportunist bastard is here!" Evan snapped back making Freya stunned after hearing him cursing Leonard.Freya had known the raging man for the past six years but not once she had seen him looking this angry, she never heard even a whisper of any kind of profanity coming out of Evan's mouth till today. The way he didn't even hesitate before cursing Leonard clearly told her how much he hated this man.Leonard's smirk wiped away after Evan clapped back, "Opportunist bastard you say? Then what are you? You took the opportunity of marryi
Author's PovAbruptly sitting up on the bed she threw the blanket off her body not caring about the thumping pain against her head or the ache her body was feeling. With her bare feet, she walked towards the door wanting to get out of this suffocating room as soon as possible.The moment she opened her tired eyes all the terrible memories started playing with her head and all she could think of was Evan, how was he? Did he get the medical help? Was he alright? Even though she knew she might not be able to meet him but still until she would get the news of his well-being she wouldn't be able to breathe properly.The room's interior and the fact that it was owned by the same monster burned her insides, it became impossible for her to breathe properly after inhaling the familiar scent around her. The same scent that once brought a smile to her face now became the reason for her tears and disgust.It might seem funny now how she used to wish to stay in this room for as long as she could,
Author's PovFreya squeezed shut her eyes in shame not making any move to push the beast of a man away from her, he glued his lips against hers ignoring everything around them, keeping his one arm intact over her waist while his other palm held the back of her head destroying every chance for her to move.On one side Leonard was shamelessly busy tasting those addicting lips while on the other side Ajax sighed rolling his eyes and making his way back to his room wanting to see his wife who blacked out after she cried bitterly outside. Ajax couldn't lie he had never seen Sofia cry this badly except for the time he---Shaking his head he decided to wipe those memories telling himself that whatever he did he had already redeemed himself, she loved him and he loved her there was no going back. They had spent almost their whole life together, she could get angry with him but she could never hate him.Janet looked away as soon as Leonard passed his lips against Freya, even though Janet was b
Author's PovSitting on the corner of the couch, face buried in her curled knees Freya stayed at the same spot for God knows how long. After realizing how she was fooled by the man she waited for over a decade, she idiotically run through a heartbreak hurting herself again and again thinking about them being together. They must had a good laugh remembering how easily they fooled her.She suffered such a painful heartbreak for what? Only to be revealed that he never was planning to marry the girl he brought here. Was she that worthless in his eyes that he decided to pay someone to pretend to be his girlfriend just to get rid of this engagement? Did he hate her that much?"Eat," She heard his cold voice making her pull her face up letting her slightly swollen eyes meet his emotionless narrowed ones."Why?" She mumbled making him sigh heavily, placing the tray in front of her he stood tall and stiff showing no sign of empathy."You can ask anything you want but after finishing this," He
Author's Pov"Are you done?" She flinched hearing his deep voice which never failed to scare her.After changing her clothes she curled up on the corner of the couch that was settled inside the wardrobe, she knew he was planning something that was the main reason why he brought everything that belonged to her in his room. She didn't even want to think of what evil plan he might be preparing in his sadist mind.Tightening her grip over her legs she hugged them even more not responding to his question, on the other side of the door Leonard scowled displeased by her lack of attention on him. Curling his hands into tight fists he again knocked on the door but a little harsher than before which indeed made her jump in her place."Ten seconds, if you didn't come out within ten seconds I am gonna break this door down and you wouldn't like the consequences!" Her eyes widened hearing his words, she knew he wasn't joking, he never did.Her body started trembling when the beast out of the room s
Author's Pov"Where is Sofia?" Freya flinched turning around and finding a frowning Ajax who looked like he had just woken up. Hair messed up, dabbed in his sleeping attire and no shoes on his feet had left Freya gaping at him in shock. She had never seen her uncle this messed up before he looked like he didn't even wash his face."I saw her in the garden half an hour ago," She replied making the man run in the garden's direction leaving the baffled girl behind, he didn't even care to wear his shoes."You should ogle at me like this, not my father!" She again got startled turning towards her so-called fiance who looked like he freshly took a shower and changed into his office suit."Breakfast is ready," She meekly said ignoring his mischievous comment, she knew he had been trying to loosen up her mood around him, he had been doing that for the past week from the time she had shifted to his room.Even though every night he didn't leave the chance to kiss her to his heart's content but
Author's PovFlashback"What is it?" Ajax questioned his son who took him away from the dining room. He was already dead worried for Sofia and didn't want to leave her for even a second but after seeing how serious Leo looked he decided to follow him."Have you got her checked?" Ajax knew who he was talking about, he nodded his head letting out a heavy sigh."I did, the doctor said that she's extremely weak and it can be harmful for her. She needs to have more nutrition." Leo bit his lower lip gluing his eyes to the shiny floor."I have talked to the best nutritionist, she will come in the evening. Make sure to follow her instructions." Ajax looked at his son with a hint of surprise, he thought Leo didn't care about Sofia or him anymore but he proved him wrong."Also, we have to go to **** city to attend an important business meeting and your presence is necessary or I wouldn't have asked you." Ajax was ready to refuse him as he wanted to spend as much time as he could with his wife.
Author's PovEvan groaned sitting up on the bed, his tired eyes fell over the IV that was attached to his hand, expecting to see the walls of his house he moved his gaze around the room only to freeze on the spot. He steadily blinked his eyes taking the surroundings in check only to conclude in the end that.It wasn't his house.Then where the hell was he? The room looked decently furnished and a bit wider than his original one. There wasn't much stuff placed in the room as well, he doubted that his father took him here. The place looked expensive and he knew after he lost his job his father was struggling to even provide food for both of them.Just when he was ready to call for someone he heard the door being opened followed by soft footsteps entering the room, and the moment his eyes caught the sight of that familiar face he stilled. The woman he never even in his wildest dreams thought would ever appear in front of him was standing near the door holding shopping bags in her hand.H
Author's Pov"Leo, stop scaring me!" She mumbled holding onto his hand like a scared cat as he was helping her to walk because of her eyes being blindfolded.When she woke up early in the morning she found a beautiful large box placed over the couch confusing her. The very first she went to her daughter's room to check upon her, Aera had turned almost a year, her birthday was just two weeks away and Leo had made a plan of throwing a massive party even though I didn't want to make it any big event but he clearly said it was his angel's first birthday he wasn't going to let it any less of an important event of his life.Not finding her daughter in the room she frowned panicking a bit but after coming in her room she approached the couch to get her phone when her eyes fell on the small card laying over the box. Grabbing it she opened the paper piece and read the words written on it which both eased her tension and burned the spark of curiosity in her heart.My precious, be ready till 5 p
Author's Pov Freya frowned raising her eyebrows when she didn't find Leonard in the room, her scowl eased a bit after she made sure Aera was fast asleep and she indeed was. But in order to find Leonard she marched to the terrace. Leoaned had grown this new habit of watching the empty hollow forest behind their house at night.But he always returned back to the room on time, today when he didn't return even after her waiting for him she decided to check up on him. Opening the glass door she stepped out of terrace shivering a bit hugging the shawl she had dabbed over her arms when the cold wind attacked her tiny frame. As expected, he was standing on the edge watching the dark forest with his blank gaze, his palms were placed over the concrete half wall doing the work of railing. Walking near him she watched how he snapped out of his lost thoughts and turned his whole attention towards her."What happened?" She mumbled making the man sigh lightly shooting her a small smile."Nothing I
Author's PovFreya's lips curved into a small smile staring at the beautiful warm view in front of her, she went to make milk for her little angel but the moment she returned she found her sleeping over her father's chest who didn't even change his office suit and simply held her the second he arrived at home.A warm feeling spread over her chest hearing the word home echoing in her head, yes the home she always wanted to build but was failing each time because of many obstacles but now she had finally created one and with the man she never thought she will ever again be able to live under same roof.After her accepting to give him a last chance to mend their relationship he didn't disappoint her, after a week they returned to Spain in order ease his overwhelming work. She informed her grandmother and she also told her to not worry about the cafe she will ask one of her friends to look after it in her absence.Leonard as promised hadn't touched her till now, he had been giving his bes
(This chapter is solely for Evan and Janet)Author's PovEvan sighed heavily once again getting a no response from Freya's number, he closed his eyes leaning his head against the sofa when he remembered the same face that had been haunting him for many months.Janet. The woman who broke his heart mercilessly when he wanted her the most, the woman he broke heart of, the same way but God forbid if he claimed that it gave him any kind of relief after doing that. She was still the woman he loved beyond himself and now to think of he was glad he didn't marry Freya.He didn't appreciate how he didn't marry her and never would he be thankful that she chose to marry that man. Yes, he heard about the marriage ceremony and for a few days he actually wanted to run to her in order to save her but after seeing her joyful frame and satisfied eyes he knew he had won over her.He had no idea what Leonard did to her to make her give in to him this easily but regardless of his dislike towards the man h
Freya's PovI watched as Leonard held our little angel in his bare arms cooeing at her. It was a rare yet an adorable sight to behold, I wish the time to just pause so I could stare at the beautiful picture my mind was creating and reserving it in the messy memories but something about those painful memories had changed.Without my realization the memories I held onto thinking that I will never be able to forgive this man had started diminishing and his massive struggle and efforts to get me back had started overpowering those painful memories I once lived. I wish we never had to go through such pain, I wish I still had the same trust on him but alas! Somethings just didn't meant to be.It's been two weeks I gave birth to Aera, our sweet little girl and I could see how Leonard had been struggling with his professional and personal life. I knew he could simply flew back to Spain and hold onto his scattered business but he wasn't ready to give up. And now I was forced to accept that as
Author's PovPalming her swollen belly Freya's forehead scrunched into a deep scowl as she whimpered in pain, hardly sitting up from her laying position she switched on the side lamp and let out a soft cry feeling another kick of pain. Her hand swiftly started finding her phone which she placed on nightstand but instead of grabbing it she accidentally dropped the lamp on the floor making a loud clattering sound."Ah!" She cried out letting the tears damp her cheeks, it was too painful.She looked up hearing two knocks on her the door, "Freya, what happened? I heard a loud noise! Are you ok?" She heard her husband's worried voice as he impatiently questioned her. She knew Leo was a light sleeper but after she got pregnant he became more conscious around her."L-Leo," She whimpered crying in pain when Leo instantly opened the door and after finding his wife on the bed crying while clutching her stomach he ran near her."Freya, is it the time?" She nodded her head hardly finding her voic
Author's Pov"It really surprises me still that how much audacity you have to even call me your daughter, the same kid you abandoned and handed to the people whose daughter you killed!" She noticed a slight change glint of guilt in Stark's eyes but it didn't last more than a second."I was lucky that those people were nice enough to provide me with the things I could only wish, I was the daughter of their daughter's murderer yet they never tried anything to take a revenge on me. But just imagine what would have happened to me if they were really Vengeful minded people just imagine!" She didn't lie when she said they never harmed in a vengeance instead they always tried to treat her better at least Sofia did. Ajax might be indifferent but he never let her feel like she was the daughter of his culprit.But her this statement twisted Leo's face into guilt remembering how he was the only one among his family who actually tried to harm her in the name of revenge. He seriously wanted to rev
Author's PovLeonard cracked his neck before massaging his shoulders with his aching fingers as he stepped out of the bathroom after taking a long relaxing bath, he had been working way too much now a days that sometimes in tiredness he skipped dinner and just wanted to lay on the bed to sleep.Many people would have started regretting trying for something which had no guarantee in the end, but he wasn't, instead he was feeling more and more hopeful with each passing day. He knew Freya loved him, and still did but she was just afraid of trusting the man who broke her trust many times. And he couldn't even blame her for that, it was solely his fault.Wearing the comfortable thin shirt and trousers he walked out with his messy wet hair slightly falling over his eyes, soon his jaw hardened when he found his little wife sleeping on the couch of the living room. She did this many times in this whole month even after his strict warning to her that it wasn't good for her.He knew she got sle
Author's PovFreya sighed placing her one palm over her waist and other rested on her swollen stomach as she watched the stubborn man wearing a waiter's clothes taking orders from the customers more like from his fan girls who visited the cafe almost daily just to watch the giant man cladded I a waiter's clothes serving them.His face spared on emotion as he took the order with blank gaze not even acknowledging the open invitations from the swooning girls, and as expected he did what he always do. He raised his hand showing them his ring cladded finger snatching their flirty smiles and gestures. It was obvious from their faces they wanted to leave but too late.The cunning man had taken their order and now it would be embarrassing to cancel the order so they simply shifted uncomfortably and waited for him to bring their food. The disappointment was evident on their pretty faces but decency flourished from their demeanor when they didn't hit on him again and got busy in chatting with e
