Author's Pov"There must be a fucking way!" Leonard snapped at his father who had his head down sitting on the sofa not even moving his swollen eyes from the floor.After Ajax' distressed call Leonard didn't waste a second and flew back to his home along with Freya. He didn't even give his wife much time to comprehend anything and just told her to get her important things prepare and they will be going back right away. Freya tried to ask him but he only replied that he had no idea but his mother was sick.This tensed and worried Freya as well, even though she suspected her aunt for being one of the people who hated her just like her son and husband but she still loved her more than anything else, that same woman had raised her and gave her all the care and affection her own father never did.The moment they arrived Freya went to meet Sofia but as per Ajax' words she was under the influence of medicines and she was sleeping. Freya protested and tried staying with her aunt especially af
Author's PovLeonard looked at his mother as she started narrating the biggest truth of her painful life, she always kept a smiling face intact only for Leonard, she always thought that he deserved to live in a happy environment until he was living with them. But seemed like her trying to hide his father's torture was her biggest mistake."I and Ajax were betrothed to marry from the day I was born, my parents never cared about me or tried to raise me. For them I was just an asset they wanted to use to increase their alliance, Ajax as you know belonged to a very rich family and Ajax' father also had a good relationship with my father so they arranged our marriage. I met him only once before he went overseas for his studies and I got busy in my life but there wasn't a single day I wasn't reminded of Ajax being my future. I had a quiet same fate as Freya before marriage. I was groomed to be a perfect submissive wife of Ajax Steve." Leonard fell silent dropping his eyes down but his ears
Author's Pov"Leonard!" Freya gasped out calling her husband's name who was busy showering his father with merciless punches making the rest of the maids shied away in horror watching his demonic demeanor.Ajax tried to fight Leonard but he didn't know his son was a professional fighter after all these years he didn't win those underground fights only to get a hit from a bastard like his father! Finally to Freya's relief guards ran in and parted the son and father but Leo didn't show any compassion for them as well, he moved his fist and punched the guard as well making the poor guy loosen his grip on the contentious lad.He was about to storm towards his father, he saw red! He wanted to beat him until he wouldn't be able to recognize himself, Freya being scared of his untamable anger ran towards him and blocked his way before he could again approach his father with violent intentions. Leo's red enraged amber eyes met with Freya's tensed blue ones making her flinch at how much infuri
Author's PovSwollen bloodshot eyes gazed blankly at the beautiful waves of the sea sitting on the edge of the wooden bridge, Leonard after leaving the house didn't know where to go so simply he let his feet take him wherever he might find a little bit of peace but nothing. Even after staring at the most beautiful sight his eyes had held after his wife, he wasn't able to find any comfort.The man, he looked up to. His father, his pride, the man he rebelled against yet loved at the same time was in reality the biggest villain of his life. The tears were dried up and he had no energy left to cry anymore, the night fell and he gloomily stared at the dark waving sea water like he could lessen the pain of his heart but nothing.Suddenly the weight of pain instead of curtailing increased even more as the newly felt emotion of regret and guilt scratched his inner self, and the look of disappointment and worry in his mother's eyes killed him. The fact that she wasn't worried for him but inste
Author's Pov Freya frowned deeply stirring from her slumber, she steadily unfolded her eyelashes letting her sleepy blue eyes collide with a familiar face startling her. In a second her eyes widened and she was fully awake and in complete shock. Leonard's face was only an inch away from hers, the tip of their noses were attached as he breathed slowly against her lips hitching her breath instead. His head was placed on the fluffy pillow while hers was resting over his inked arm, her covered chest was brushing against his bare ones. His buff arm around her waist told her how she got here when she slept on the couch in the living last night, he must have brought her but the fact instead of leaving her in her room he brought her here and even held her this close after almost a week dumbstruck her. Her eyes softened remembering his enraged form yesterday, the way he looked like he would break down anytime while confessing his father's crimes. She didn't want to but against her will, she
Author's Pov"You can't do this!" Ajax barged into Leonard's room finding the young man focusing on the laptop placed on his lap. Freya was with his mother sharing their breakfast time.Leonard sighed closing his laptop and placing it on the side table before raising his eyes to his father who looked way too older than he ever before did. Standing up from the sofa he raised his eyebrows at his father still trying to comprehend the truth of someone being this much of an asshole."I can and I will." Leo already knew what Ajax was protesting against and his nonchalant answer shook the fire even more in his father's heart."Leonard! She's my wife! I will never allow you to take her away from me, especially in this condition!" Leo scoffed at the audacity of this man."Yes, the condition you have forced her into!" This shut the old man up who clenched his hands into tight fists."She asked me to take her to her aunt, my mother wants to spend her last days with her." He pressed the word want
Author's PovFreya and Sofia walked in the hallway, Freya had her one arm around Sofia's shoulder while other on her waist. Sofia could walk around but Freya wanted to be at her aid even after the old woman tried to tell her off. Their bodies stilled for a second finding Ajax standing near the pillar that was attached to the staircase.Leonard entered the house and didn't even glance at his father before approaching his mother, he gave her a smallest smile, "Your luggages are in the car, we should get going, you have a flight to catch." Sofia nodded her head."You coming with us?" Leonard hesitated and then nodded his head."Yes, I want to make sure you're safe. And after that I will return to Spain." Freya and Sofia shared a thoughtful look before the old woman nodded at her son.Ajax stood in the same spot watched silently as his wife stepped out of the house and this time he knew she wasn't coming. Tears filled his wrinkled eyes as he let himself ascend the stairs to go to his room
Freya's PovI watched my aunt chatting with her aunt letting her heart out, I still remember the first day when we came here and met her aunt how she cried non-stop while hugging her and her aunt's condition wasn't any better, she was sobbing and kissing my aunt's whole face like she had found her treasure.It's a been week we settled here, her aunt, the woman who might didn't give her birth but raised her, Hannah, she was an old woman hitting her 80s in about a few months. She was the sweetest woman I ever met after my aunt, Sofia. Hannah didn't mind me staying with them and I was surprised especially after how she came to know I was the wife of Sofia's son Leonard, I thought the way she hated Ajax with her every fibre she might had the same feelings for Leonard as well but no. Her views regarding Leo were different.She liked him.Hannah had two sons and a daughter, they all were married with children. She told me that her youngest son recently got divorced because of indifferences
