(Freya's POV)“What about your back?” I asked after we were silent for a while.“It's fine. It's just that it can't be used to do something heavy," said Ash.Of course. His back had several stitches because of the wounds he got from protecting me. I felt very guilty but also touched by what he did. An Ash who hated me so much, that he didn't even care about his safety to help me.“You shouldn't have done that,” I said, squeezing the hem of my blazer with my shaking hands. I lowered my head because I didn't dare look into his eyes."And let the beam fall on your head?" he asked curtly.I flinched and looked at him. “That's much better. I don't want to be in debtー”"If you don't like being in debt, treat me well while I'm sick," he said, cutting me off.I felt my chest feel tight. Why does Ash have to act like this towards me? What he did made me unable to forget him. That makes it difficult for me. It makes me feel anxious whether he is really starting to have an interest in me or he i

(Freya's POV)My relationship with Ash became increasingly complicated. After the business trip, we were stranger than ever. I try hard to avoid it. Even told my secretary to tell Ash that I'm not in the office every time he comes to my company.All this to maintain my sanity. Since the business trip with Ash, my feelings have become more confused than before. And I felt angry and disappointed with myself for still loving Ash even after everything he had done to me.And the only way is not to meet Ash either now or later. But I know I can't do that all the time while I still have a partnership with Ash. but for now, I don't want to see his face. Because if I met Ash, maybe my feelings for him would explode until I couldn't hold it in. And I will hate myself even more because I fell so easily into his chains.Every time I hear footsteps in the corridor, my heart races. My mind was filled with fear that it might be Ash, even though I had given clear instructions to my secretary. I felt

(Freya’s POV)That morning, Henry had picked me up at home. I saw his car parked in front of the gate, and he got out with a smile. "Freya, are you ready?"I nodded, even though my heart still felt heavy. “That's it, Henry. Let's go."We headed to Henry's villa outside the city. The villa is his favorite place for refreshing. He said the atmosphere there could calm the mind. I hope he's right because I really need peace. For the next four days, I wanted to get away from all the chaos, especially from Ash's shadow. I've been trying to forget it for years, but it feels like I'm running in place. He continued to break through my defenses, coming and going as he pleased. And I... I hate it. Hate that he used to throw me away like trash, but now acts like he cares.In the car, Henry plays jazz music. Usually, I like to hum along, but this time I just sat quietly, my eyes staring blankly out the window. In my head, Ash's voice was still ringing, ruining the otherwise peaceful morning.“You

(Freya’s POV)I entered the room with a pounding heart, aware of the enveloping silence. There, Ash lay weakly on the sofa, his breathing heavy and labored. He, a man who usually looked strong and tough, now looked so fragile with a pale face. The high fever he was suffering from made his body tremble, and the strong smell of alcohol filled the air around him. This sight made my heart feel heavy. My hands trembled when I saw the wounds on his hands—blood was still flowing from the tears in his skin, caused by the shards of glass that shattered this otherwise peaceful night."Why are you like this, Ash?" I muttered softly, even though I knew he wouldn't answer in his current state. Without wasting any time, I immediately took the first aid kit from the small cupboard in the corner of the room. Every step I took felt like a burden as if every inch closer to Ash brought back memories I'd been trying to forget.I started to clean the wound on Ash's hand carefully. He groaned softly but re

(Freya's POV)That morning, I tried to focus on my work, staring at the computer screen with unusual intensity. However, my mind kept drifting to last night's events at Ash's apartment. My face turns red every time I remember how I woke up with him hugging me tightly. I immediately shook my head, trying to shake off the image. The sound of the phone on my desk made me flinch, and when I picked it up, the gentle but heavy voice of the receptionist came through.“Freya, I have a guest for you. Ash Knight," said the receptionist in a hesitant tone.My heart immediately started beating faster. “Fine, let him in,” I answered, even though there was doubt creeping into my heart.Not even a minute later, Ash appeared at my office door. I was silent, observing every detail of his figure. His face was pale, far from Ash's figure who usually always looked fit. His eyes were glazed, and his hair was a little messy, but what was most striking was the faint smile on his face—a smile that seemed to
