Author's Pov Heavy rain slashed against the pale hollow man's face as he still stood with his hands curled in a respectful manner below his waist, his empty bloodshot eyes stared at the two coffins laid under the harsh rain as the people gave their last condolences to the deceased. Everyone held umbrellas over their heads to save them from the miserable attack of the rain except for one particular man. And he wasn't just someone who came here to grieve, the pity in people's eyes was directed towards him, the worried eyes at how poker-faced he was, and the seriousness of the situation everything seemed so unreal. The fact that just a day ago Ajax Steve was perfectly fine as per the news channels and in a second he was announced as dead which shook the business industry. The man was called a menace when it came to dealing with his enemies in the business world, he hated defeat and ruled the country for many decades. His death neither brought sadness nor happiness to the business worl
Author's PovCaressing his hair Freya silently stayed curled on his lap as the giant man hugged her like his life was depended on her. From the time he made her sit on his lap the peaceful silence with a slight noise of pool water swirling with the cold wind echoing in the background filled the area.Freya might hadn't forgiven him yet but she knew this time he needed someone to be with him, he needed her comfort and warmth. And knowing Leonard well she knew he will try to let his pain out by drinking his guts out and she didn't want him to risk out his life just to deal with this pain alone so putting her indifferences aside she came to him."Can a father really be this cruel?" His hoarse whisper entered her ears as she felt his warm breathing caressing her neckline.She sighed in sadness having no answer, ofcourse no father could be like the way Ajax was. Sofia did once tell Freya that Ajax never actually wanted children as he always thought her attention would be divided but after
Author's PovHugging her arms she stared at the glossy window glass with her calm eyes holding a troubling storm behind her blank gaze, she knew it was the time she had to make a proper decision to do what she knew would be best for her. But would it be equally right for Leonard especially after their conversation of last night.It's been a month of Sofia and Ajax' demise and even though Freya wasn't as comfortable being with Leo as she was before she got to know about the truth but still she knew he needed her the most right now and fighting with herself she finally shut off the reluctant part of her mind and opened her arms for Leo to find comfort him in them which he did.Last night Freya after taking a fresh shower came out finding her fully suited husband bringing a big box and placing it on the table, it looked like something of metal which needed assembling. She watched with her curious eyes as the man stood up with his yellow scary eyes twinkling with happiness for the first t
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
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 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 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
