Author's Pov"Here," Freya smiled at Evan who handed a warm cream bread to her holding one for himself. He took the seat on the bench beside her averting his gaze to the beautiful garden and water valley flowing peacefully.Staring at the view for a few minutes he let the peaceful silence engulf them, he again turned his jet-black eyes to her finding her taking a small bite of soft warm letting the sweet taste hit her taste buds. He gazed at her patiently not wanting to disturb the peace that was reflecting on her pale face.Freya always had a pale skin tone yet after a few days he had noticed her looking unusually pale and dull, the natural blush she used to have over her cheeks was nowhere to be seen anymore, Freya never used much makeup yet she still used to apply a light lip gloss and moisturizer over her face but now she had stopped doing that too and he knew why. She had stopped living."For how long you're going to do this?" Freya blinked as Evan broke the silence making her lo
Author's PovFreya cautiously stared at the door of the room she used to maintain with her all, it was the same room she once considered her own. The way she used to enter this place without a second thought now she was debating if she should step in or not. She was never been this skeptical of this before yet his indifferent and harsh attitude had forced her to be this hesitant for the first time.Sighing vetoed by her mind she knocked on the door and waited for a good few seconds but no response came out, she again knocked but again the reaction was the same. Grasping the knob she twisted it letting the door make a screeching sound as she entered carefully.She took a few steps inside to get close to the place where she could try and find him, but to her utter shock, he was still laying on the bed slightly trembling. Her eyes widened and she instantly approached him only to furrow her eyebrows in worry. He didn't have any shirt on and this kind of embarrassed her but giving her full
Author's Pov"Can you pass me the ginger?" The maid did as instructed by the young girl, Freya was busy making hot ginger and lemon tea for that untamed beast. She knew he will again lash on her but she couldn't get herself to step back from her responsibility.The maid silently watched the innocent girl concentrating on making the effective tea, she couldn't help but feel bad for her. She had been working for this family only for the last four years but she had seen Freya taking care of each and everything that belonged to Leonard with her all might. Freya's love and longing for that man were not hidden from anyone that knew her.She had no idea why Mrs. Steve would ask this young girl to take care of the man who had never let the chance to de-grade her go, Freya should be given a proper time to get herself together after what that ungrateful man did to her but instead, his mother left her to be his caretaker. Freya was adored by every servant of this house as they were only familiar
Author's PovLeo was ready to wear his watch when he heard a soft knock, he frowned before permitting the person to come in and just when he got busy getting ready he heard a soft voice calling for him."What are you doing?" The familiar voice of the girl that had been messing up with his mind stood near the door holding some clothes in her hands.He stared at her in confusion for a few seconds before he realized that the clothes in her hands were for him, and they looked extremely warm. He had no idea why she kept on roaming around him like a bee, he already did everything she asked him to. Now, what did she more wanted?"I am recovered now, you don't have to do this anymore." He exclaimed finally wearing the watch and straightening his posture.Freya blinked at the stubborn guy with stupefied eyes, he wasn't even able to walk properly just an hour ago and now he wanted to get ready and leave for work. She couldn't let him do that otherwise he will get sick once again, the more she w
Author's PovBlinking his aching eyes multiple times he hardly unlatched them letting his blurry vision fall over the luxurious ceiling of his room, he squeezed shut his eyes for a few seconds before pushing his body in a sitting manner. He massaged his forehead when all of a sudden a familiar scent and touch flashed through his mind.His eyes snapped up looking around the room trying to find a particular girl who had been messing up with his mind lately, he possibly can't be mistaken the serenity he felt last night. It was still fresh in back of his head how badly his head was aching until he felt tiny yet soft fingers pressing every spot of his forehead releasing him from the pain.He couldn't forget how without realizing he wanted to seek more peace from that embrace and in search of that he moved towards that serene. Last night was the bestest sleep he ever had, he couldn't refuse each night he spent either in her presence or in her embrace he felt the solace he never did before.
Author's Pov"Excuse us, uncle." Not waiting for the reply Freya held Evan's wrist and dragged them to the pool area which wasn't too far from the hallway, Evan didn't seem surprised he did expect her to react like that. She turned to face him letting his wrist go,"What is all of this? It's a joke right!" Staring right into Evan's black eyes with her blue terrified ones she snapped the question at him.Evan sighed straightening his posture standing all tall and mighty staring down at her, he couldn't deny that not even in his million years had he thought of doing something like this without her being knowledgeable but now he knew it was needed. The way her eyes still held the sadness, the dark circles around them, and the obvious pain over her pale face was an open indication to him that she wasn't planning to let the memories associated with Leonard go."No, Freya. It's for real, I am the man your uncle wants you to meet." Her eyes expanded and all her hope of him pranking her fell
Author's Pov"No." One word of refusal was enough to accelerate her breathing to max level, her damped clothed chest kept on brushing against his hard rock ones. One side Freya was panicking after seeing the look he was giving her, while Leonard on the other side seemed unbothered.His hazy mind which was slightly corrupted by the toxic alcohol he had chugged a while ago wasn't letting him think straightly, he couldn't deny the fact that he hated seeing her eyes staring in other's men's eye, he hated witnessing someone else touching her, he hated the fact she was smiling at that chum but she never bait a single eye in his way after their engagement ended.Increasing his grip over her waist he flushed her body closer eliminating the remaining distance, her hands that were on his shoulders tightened as well, her wide stunning blue crystals gazed in amber ones for a few seconds before she out of habit dropped her eyes down not having any energy to keep up with the intensity of his stare
Author's PovStanding under the running shower Freya kept on wiping her tears but to no avail, she had always been sensitive and even the slightest raise of voice used to scare her to no end and what he did today was beyond dreadful. The way he manhandled her had unlocked another fear in her heart.No man had ever touched her in that way, whenever someone would be interested in her they would respectfully approach her, not the way Leonard did. The way he skimmed his hands over her waist had forced her to hate the way he held her.Her hands started rubbing her arms as she remember the way he touched her she would never be able to forget this night. Tears rapidly started kissing her cheeks once again reminding herself of the way his lips came in contact with her flesh, she still could not understand why would he do something like that to her.Sliding down to the tired floor of the bathroom she let her naked frame come in contact with the cold surface hugging her knees against her chest.
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
