Author's PovFreya bit her lower lip remembering Leonard's words a while ago. Don't wear the underwear.She had no idea why would he ask her something like that? They were going out and she was extremely excited about that, it's been over two months that they got married and finally he was taking her out. But all her happiness turned into nervousness when he demanded something like that from her."Love, are you ready?" Freya heard her husband's deep voice making her look away from the mirror. She hastily glanced at herself before making her way out finding him standing leaning against the wall. Just hope the decision she made wouldn't come biting her back. Hopefully. He was cladded in a black suit, even the shirt was black giving him a rugged yet a dominating look. From the time Freya told him that she looks handsome when he wears black the man literally have changed his wardrobe. Previously his wardrobe was mostly filled with grey, white and dark colours but now all she could find
Author's PovFreya anxiously stared at her husband who was busy typing something on his laptop, she was sitting on the bed wearing his black t-shirt. She was extremely tired after their all-night lovemaking that the moment he let her breathe she fell asleep and when she woke up she was greeted by her breakfast that Leo ordered.After freshening up and eating her breakfast she noticed herself wearing his shirt, weirdly Leo loved when Freya wore his clothes. He always said she smelled divine being cladded in his clothes. Gripping the blanket in her tiny fists she was fighting with herself to have strength after all she knew what she was going to ask him might displease him."What do you want to say, Precious?" Leo's raspy voice echoed in the room making her jump in her place in surprise. This man was weird in many ways.Whenever she fell asleep he would be awake to tug her in the bed after bathing her and whenever she would wake up he would still be awake doing his work or simply gawkin
Author's Pov Leo sighed shaking his head and watching his panicked wife walking around the room mumbling something under her breath. He was busy working on his laptop and Freya was arranging their clothes when he got a call from his assistant who informed him that Freya's admission was confirmed and she will have to join the university tomorrow itself. The moment he revealed the information to her the woman at first jumped on her feet in happiness and then started panicking thinking that she didn't even buy anything yet. Leonard tried to calm her down but she kept on murmuring something under her breath frantically walking around the room. "Love, relax it will be fine," He once again tried typing the last sentence but it didn't help the girl as she kept on shaking her head. "What if the professor scolded me for not bringing the books? What if I got lost on the first day?" He chuckled shutting off his laptop and placing it on the table beside the couch. "Freya, come here." He said
Author's PovLeonard glared at the picture laid on his office table before curling his inked fingers around it. He pulled the picture closer to his deep amber eyes before gritting his teeth. The more he tries to be better with her, to be good with her the more it ticks his guilty conscience for giving happiness to the girl who was the daughter of the man that destroyed his family.In the picture, a man was sitting on the chair with a newborn holding in his embrace as a wide smile of that man was captured in the camera. Leonard loved the fact that it was him who snatched that smile from that man, who became the reason for his tears, and he was willing to give that man nothing but pain.His eyes slightly softened when they fell on the newborn baby, he knew she did not have any fault in all of this. She wasn't supposed to suffer the pain his father put her through but he was helpless. The guilty conscience of his just couldn't afford to see her happy even though her tears broke him too.
Author's Pov"How is it?" Freya asked showing an ankle-length dress to Leonard who shrugged off having no idea what to say. The dress was beautiful and just like the way she wore all the time.Freya sighed getting lost in trying to find a dress for herself while Leonard looked around only for his eyes to pause on one particular dress. It was a light green off-shoulder dress that was reaching to mid-thighs of the mannequin. The dress was so simple yet damn sexy and an urge grew in his heart as he traveled his light yellow eyes to his little wife who was busy looking through the skirts.Smirking a bit he motioned the worker to pack this dress too, "Pack it separately." He ordered making the man oblige his words silently. "Leo, how about this?" He turned towards his confused wife before he grabbed all the dresses, shirts, and skirts she touched and asked him about before looking at the worker."Pack these!" Freya's eyes dilated in shock as she tried to protest but the man simply ignored
Author's Pov"Leo," Freya called her husband's name knocking on the bathroom door. He has been inside the bathroom for almost half an hour and it was now worrying her. She knocked twice but no response."Leo, are you ok?" She asked scowling in worry but again he didn't say anything. Only the water colliding with the floor echoed in the atmosphere.She bit her lower lip being extremely tensed, she decided to open the door and just when she turned the knob a large hand came forward grabbing her wrist and pulling her inside the bathroom. Her back hit the door as a tall frame towered over her, she snapped her eyes up only to find his naked body pinning her clothed ones against the closed door."Leo," She tried to speak but he placed his index finger over her lips accelerating her breathing."Shhhh," His deep voice hushed her right away as she felt his hand traveling to her hips.She gasped out when he flushed her body near his jerking her hips, "Is there something you're not telling me, P
Author's PovJust when the phone met with the floor Freya found her legs losing all their strength as she staggered back with her wide eyes still gazing at the phone. Because of the impact the call got cut on its own, her eyes brimmed with tears shaking her head. No, it was impossible! It must be some kind of joke, right?She had been told for her whole life that she was an orphan, her parents died when she was only one year old and that's why Ajax and Sofia adopted her. As per his words, she was the daughter of Ajax's friend and he decided to adopt her after she lost her parents. But then how? After 21 years of her life why suddenly she was being called by an anonymous man claiming that he was her father?She shook her head before abruptly grabbing the phone and looking at the screen where the same number was displaying. She kept on reading the number until it was completely memorized by her. She knew one way or another Leonard will get to know about this phone and before he could kn
Author's PovFreya gazed at the number with dismay, she so wanted to press dial and just call the man. She had so many questions, so much to ask but nothing was getting in her mind, she wasn't hesitant about getting to know the truth. She was scared.She was afraid of the dreamland she had built with her love getting lost somewhere. She didn't have the heart to believe that all this time she was living a pure lie. Her lost gaze was taken aback when two fingers were snapped in front of her eyes making her blink multiple times."What happened?" Rafe questioned sitting beside the gloomy girl who gave him a small smile shaking her head."Nothing just conflicted about something." She whispered making the man raise his eyebrows."About what? You know you can share anything with me." She smiled at him nodding her head. She wanted to tell him everything yet she had no heart to reveal the fact that she might have been played by her husband for so long."It's just there is something I want to k
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
