Author's PovThe moment Freya's eyes met Janet's she expected Leonard to panic after being caught by his girlfriend or to let her go but instead the man didn't even loosen his grip over her not even a bit. She looked at him only to find him scowling at the suspicious girl in annoyance. What was wrong with this man? His girlfriend literally caught him misbehaving with another girl specifically his ex-fiance."What are you doing here?" His question took Freya off guard as she stared at him in disbelief.Finally gathering her strength she pushed his hands away earning his attention, he looked at her with raised eyebrows having mercy on the panicked cat. Chuckling under his breath he turned to Janet who approached them still staring at them with an upset and displeased gaze."I should be asking this question, Leo. What are you both doing here?" She paused looking at Freya who didn't meet her eyes."Alone," Freya flinched not appreciating the skeptical tone she used, and why not? Her boyfr
Author's PovHer eyes expanded the moment he covered her lips depriving her the right to scream for help, her eyes got filled with dread and fear finding his face only a few inches away from hers. His hawk amber eyes looked scarier than usual under the dim light of the room that she always kept on. Her tiny hands flew to his wrist as her quivering fingers wrapped around it, no matter how much she used the force to remove his hand nothing was working. He was way to strong as compared to her."Not a word!" Threatening her in a low tone he carefully removed his hand making her instantly push him away and sat up on the bed.Even though she tried her whole strength to push him out of her bed the bulky lad didn't move an inch and stayed at the same spot staring at her. She scooted away him in fear letting her back hit the headboard. Just when she was ready to scoot to the other side of the bed a large hand was slammed against the bed's headboard making her yelp out in horror.Her body went
Author's PovFreya flinched whimpering out feeling a soft touch over her forehead, she slowly peered her hazy eyes open only to meet with familiar concerned grey ones. After what happened last night with Leonard, Freya found it hard to sleep in fear of him coming back. She didn't even dry her hair after taking a shower again."My daughter, you burning in fever!" It was Sofia who sat who decided to check on Freya after she didn't come for the breakfast.The fragile girl was trembling stuffed inside the heavy blanket, Sofia's eyes widened in alert after seeing how terribly Freya was sweating, and the moment she touched her forehead she knew the reason behind her quivering form. She was having a fever and not just a mild one, her body was literally on fire.Freya couldn't find her voice to speak, she wanted to blurt out everything that Leonard did to her last night, she wanted to tell her uncle and aunt but wasn't able to as her throat felt extremely conjugated, Sofia cooed at her caress
Author's Pov"I heard you were sick," Freya smiled at the concerned man who took a seat beside her on the bench placed in the church."Yes, I had a fever but don't worry I am perfectly fine now but aren't you a week late in asking me this?" Freya clapped back narrowing her eyes at him making him raise his hands."Sorry princess, I was out of town or I would have definitely spent the whole week with you taking care of my lovely soon to be fiance." Evan said smiling cheekily which earned a chuckle from the girl."Where did you go?" Evan sighed leaning his back against the bench and stared at his father who was busy communicating with a couple."I am actually trying to find a job, I tried hard here but no company is willing to take up the employee who was fired based on his negligence in work." This made Freya frown deeply. Evan had always been cautious and serious about his work, the news of him being fired by the company he was working came like a shocker to her.Evan told her he was f
Author's PovFlashbackFreya was about to step in the house when she heard familiar voices, she frowned when she recognized them and the way they both were talking seemed like they were arguing. One was Evan's father while other was Evan's voice, she always had seen Evan's father being composed and calm. She never for once had heard a slightest rise of his voice but today it was something new for her to witnessed. She was ready to step inside the space where they both are arguing but halted the moment she heard her name."Freya is a nice girl, I never denied it. But her status and the people she grew up in are far better than us Evan!" She clutched the strap of her bag staring at the floor."Dad! What's wrong with you? I am not going to get engage with her family. I have nothing to do with them my only concern is her." Evan's father sighed rubbing his forehead being destress by his son's continuous persuasion."She might be a nice girl but she had lived her whole life in luxuries, how
Author's PovSitting in the corner of the room she stared at the smiling conversing people with her gloomy gaze, but the fact that she wasn't alone sitting at the table made it harder for her to concentrate on anything other than him. After the engagement was done Sofia helped Freya to sit on the chair in the corner wanting to give her some time alone to gather herself but all her privacy got invaded once again by the man who was imposed on her today.Leonard kept his unwavering empty stare fixated on her unmoving frame, he noticed every move of hers, from the way she looked around to the way she was avoiding him. The side his lips curled up into a small smirk watching her looking extremely unhappy with this arrangement. Did she really think she wouldn't be getting engaged today?This was the reason why Freya didn't want to tell her uncle and aunt about Evan's refusal, she knew her uncle will eventually try to find someone to fill in the space for Evan as he had never compromised his
Author's Pov"Janet," Freya whispered after witnessing the woman sitting on the couch placed in the hallway. The second engagement ceremony ended Freya came back to front side of the mansion wanting to be alone but before she could reach her room she found Janet sitting there.Her eyes softened watching the girl with sadness, her boyfriend just got engaged with his ex-fiance she must be devastated after hearing this news. But to Freya's utter surprise Janet stood up smiling at the girl, how can she smile at her like she didn't become her boyfriend's fiance a few minutes ago."Hey, Freya did the ceremony ended already?" Janet eye's noticed the gloominess along with disbelief in Freya's eyes. They both heard footsteps reaching them but right now Freya's whole attention was turned to Janet."Janet, I am sorry." The tall woman raised her eyebrows."For what?" Freya frowned."You do know your boyfriend got engaged today." Freya expected to see shock or panic on Janet's face but instead the
Author's PovA deep frown collided with Freya's forehead as she stared at the man in disbelief, indeed if she would be the same Freya who was madly in love with this man and was desperate to get approval from him she would have obeyed him without a second thought but not anymore. He had discarded that right a long time ago and now he was no one to tell her what she should do."Get back in!" He ordered making her clutch the hem of her skirt before tilting her head slightly."No." Her simple answer not only took him off guard but also spread another wave of resentment in him.She stared at the heavily breathing man before she was about to turn around to walk out when she heard his threatening deep voice, "Last chance, Freya and I am not fucking joking!" She felt goosebumps erupting all over her hearing the hidden threat in his whisper but ignoring it she glanced at him before again taking a step ahead.Just when she took two steps ahead her wworld turned upside down as she let out a lou
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
