Author's PovHolding her waist firmly in his arm Leonard pulled her above the water making her tightened her arms around his neck as she dug her head in his crook being afraid of him leaving her in such deep swimming pool. It was extremely deeper and it was made at Leonard's demand as he wanted it according to his height. But for Freya it was deep, if he left her she will definitely drown. He smiled watching her being attached to him like a koala, even her legs were tightly wrapped around his bare torso. He raised his free hand and caressed her wet hair."Precious, look at me." He whispered but the girl instantly shook her head making him sigh."Don't you trust me?" Only those simple words yet holding a deeper meaning hit her hard.Leonard patiently waited for a proper minute and finally she moved her head from his neck and halted right in front of his face. Her nose brushed against his because of the close proximity, the man smiled at her before gently removing the strands of her ha
Author's PovFreya gulped looking at her watch, it was the time she had to meet the man who claimed to be her father. Skipping one lecture today she from the back door went towards the cafe where she asked that man to meet her not suspecting the eyes that followed her frame until she was out of the place.Pulling the phone out the guy called the only man who he knew needed to know about what she was doing. After leaving a message he followed her only to find her standing in the cafe frozen on the spot as she stared at the old man in front of her with wide shocked eyes."You!" Freya muttered still not able to believe that the man who called her was the same man who,"Yes, I am the same man who walked you to the aisle." He was the same old man who she considered as Ajax's friend.She stared at him without uttering a single word before gulping down, "I know you have many questions and I am willing to answer them. Please take a seat." Staring at him in silence for a few seconds before she
Author's Pov"Your father killed my sister."Freya's eyes enlarged in pure shock. She couldn't understand his claim. Firstly she never heard about this sister of his, and secondly, why would her father kill her if he really had a sister? Freya never knew or was informed that sofia ever had a second child.She kept on gazing at Leonard who turned his back to her before walking near the vast window, his eyes softened remembering that little bundle of happiness they had until Stark Watson decided to snatch that from them. The moment he lost his sister, the once happy environment they had got lost."I was five years old when mom gave birth to a baby girl. She was so tiny, so beautiful, and everything we ever needed for our family to be completed." He paused gulping down remembering the day he first held her in his arms."Everything was fine, she was the apple of everyone's eye until that fateful night," Freya noticed his hands curling into tight fists as he glared at the glass window."My
Author's PovFreya was left speechless, she had nothing to say anymore. The way his were burning with fire made her internally paralyzed. At one side her heart was crying while other side her mind was numb, she didn't know what to think or say anymore. His last sentence snatched every bit of her hope.Leonard stared at her tear eyed girl for a few seconds before he stepped away from her. If she was suffering his condition wasn't any different, he tried to give her pain and it affected him the same way. He tried to hate her but couldn't, he tried to push her away but again he himself was pushed back to her."The moment I came to know about the truth, all my liking or compassion towards you just faded away. I started hating you!" She dropped her bloodshot gaze down as the man walked near the pictures he had collected in the past ten years."I told my father that I want to have nothing to do with you, I told him I didn't want to continue this engagement but he tried to convince me, ask m
Author's PovSteadily peering her eyes open Freya scowled deeply feeling a thumping pain against her head, blinking her vision clear she held her hand letting out a soft whimper. Finally, after a few minutes of regaining her senses and memories, she with the hold of the bed sat up against the headboard.Tears once again filled her eyes remembering everything he told her, Wrapping her arms around her legs she pulled it near her chest and buried her face in her knees. She had no strength left to react to the newly revealed information, the bitter truth she never thought could be a possibility.She wanted to scream, beat, and curse him for lying to her, for building this pure relationship on mere deception. He hurt her a lot in the past when he returned from overseas, but what killed her was the fact that he manipulated her to give in by coloring those lies much more beautifully.She wished she could put the whole blame on him, but she couldn't. She had put herself in his shoes and she k
Author's PovWith deep dark circles and tired eyes, Leonard sighed heavily lightly patting his back that felt damn stiff because of sleeping on the floor last night, he had never done something like that before but the fact that he couldn't sleep on the bed with her being cuddled in his arms he had no heart to even step away from there.Opening the door's lock he entered the room only for his eyes to slightly expand in alert finding her lying on the floor. Freya always had this habit of waking up earlier and he actually expected her to be awake right now but her being laid on the carpeted floor limply shook up his soul.Running towards her he cradled her face while patting her cheeks, "Freya, open your eyes, my love, don't scare me like this!" He whispered in a desperate tone before hastily picking her up and laying her on the bed.His eyes caught the sight of the food tray and he instantly cursed under his breath realizing that she hadn't eaten anything from yesterday. Pulling the ph
Author's PovFlickering her eyelashes, Freya hardly opened her eyes letting out a small whimper as she felt a banging pain against her head. Clearing her vision her sight met with the familiar ceiling before she felt a tingling pain in her hand. Looking at her hand she witnessed a small purplish circle in the middle of her hand.Freya always got bruises easily and whenever she had an IV attached to her hand it always stayed purplish from that particular place for at least a week. She looked around and found an empty bottle of drip hanging on the stand beside the bed and finally gathering her strength she steadily sat up on the bed.Soon the door of the room opened earning her attention. Last night when Leonard locked her in the room she started feeling dizzy and nausea. She did vomit twice and when she thought of eating the food she fainted. Staring at the man who stepped in with a new tray in his hand.Leonard was half naked as usual with only sweatpants dangling over his waist, he w
Author's PovPalming her aching stomach Sofia whimpered gazing at the ceiling with her tired eyes. Her head was spinning and mouth felt void of any saliva, she wanted water desperately. Moving her hand to the side table she clutched her stomach with her other hand and moved her body closer to the side table when suddenly her hand hit the glass crashing on the floor the next second.She closed shut her eyes when she heard the door of the bathroom being rapidly smashed open and Ajax appeared with only bath robe wrapped around his body. His panicked gaze softened a bit realising that she accidentally hit the glass before he sighed out and walked near her.Grabbing a spare glass he filled it with water and took a seat on the bed, her tired light eyes looked at him as the man helped her sit on the bed and made her drink the water salvaging her thirst. He noticed her clutching her stomach and placed his large palm over her small ones giving a soft squeeze earning a whimper from her."From l
