Chapter 22Micahel's POV"Micahel, I'm so hurt," Emma said, her voice trembling with anger and desperation. "I need you to divorce that woman now! I'll do everything to make sure Grandpa hands over the inheritance to you, even without getting married." Emma said, emerging into the hallway few minutes after Freya had left.I glared at her, my voice icy and controlled. "Why did you do it?"Emma's eyes widened, blinking rapidly as if she was taken aback by my response. "What are you talking about, Micahel?" she asked, her voice sugary sweet, feigning innocence."Why did you come into my home, invading my privacy by raiding my room and..." I paused, my voice trailing off, uncertainty washing over me. The truth was, I didn't know whom to support in this situation."...fighting my wife?" I said. Emma's smile was instantaneous, her eyes sparkling with amusement."Your wife?" she repeated, her tone laced with sarcasm. "C'mon Michael, drop the act. She's your wife, but you have none of her bel

Chapter 24Ambrose's POV"How's Waylen doing?" I asked, gulping down the vodka as I stared into Raymond's eyes."Ambrose, the little boy won't stop crying. And here's something strange he's never done in a while," Raymond said, pausing as I became curious. "He said he wants to meet his mom. He wants her to cuddle him. He doesn't want the nanny from Australia; he said he needed his mom."I laughed loudly, taking another sip of vodka. "Of course. How do you expect me to believe that crap? How can a three-year-old boy say such weighty words?"Raymond's expression turned serious. "Perhaps if you acted more like a father to the poor child, you'd know what he's capable of. Why do you have to lock him up like that?"My fist clenched, and I closed my eyes, controlling my wrath. "Freya is that little boy's mother," I confessed, not beating about the bush.Raymond tried to deny it, but I cut him off. "You're aware of it. You're just pretending you're not. You're smarter than I am, Raymond."He

Chapter 26Freya's POVA week had suddenly passed since Waylen was found. Somehow, I felt there was something fishy about his disappearance, but I waved it off. As long as my boy wasn't hurt.Grandpa had gone for a trip days ago. Hence, I had dodged a way to escape the lunch date that Ambrose had pestered me about. My relationship with Michael hadn't been intimate, but we were far from enemies now. Though we barely talked.I wore a little piece of clothing after a night shower. "Hey, girlie... you're good?" I smiled, staring at Naomi's message. I've really missed my best friend. Going to the cinemas, dates, and even covering each other's shifts.[C'mon, when would you invite me over to your place? Or aren't you allowed to bring in anyone?"] [Of course not. I just felt you wouldn't wanna come. You know... you might actually feel uncomfortable..."] I read my messages and deleted them suddenly. Then I sent another one; [You can come visit after your shift. Since my mom is okay now.][Is

Chapter 28Michael's POVI stepped into my office, feeling like the world was crumbling around me. I'd never felt such intense jealousy. While dating Emma, she'd barely given anyone else a chance, making me her number one. But now, I was consumed by envy.I recalled Jason once commenting on Freya's beauty, and then he'd discovered the truth about my marriage. What if Jason was into Freya? "No, I don't think Jason would do that to me," I whispered to myself.I began to feel hot and loosened two buttons on my shirt. Just then, Jason's voice cut in. "Boss, are you in there?"For a moment, I felt a surge of anger towards him. "Yeah, Jason," I replied, trying to compose myself."Your wife is here," Jason said. "Kind of weird she came alone, considering her poor driving skills." I narrowed my eyes, meeting Jason's gaze, and saw a charming glint in his eyes."Yeah, I had to leave before her," I said flatly."So, where will she work from?" Jason asked. "You've actually wanted to secure a part

Chapter 30 Ambrose's POV I settled into my office chair, rocking gently as I turned to gaze out the window. My phone was pressed to my ear, and a wicked smile spread across my face. "How was Micahel's reaction when he saw the news flashing right into his eyes on his phone?" I asked, my voice dripping with curiosity. The person on the other end of the line snorted. "Micahel felt down, but that wench of a woman is probably with him right now. I don't know why she's working for her husband, but she's probably with him." I smiled to myself, pleased that my plan was going as expected. I had asked Emma to go over to Micahel's company and see his reaction, but I hadn't expected Freya butting in and ruining my plans. I thought their marriage was fake, but now I was beginning to wonder. Was she helping Micahel now? A spark of anger ignited within me. Let's see how far she'll go with her precious son in my hands and her mother's life at the tip of my fingers. The line went dead, and I
