"Say that again, Freya. I dare you to look me deep in the eye and tell me that you don't want me and wouldn't rather want me buried deep inside you tonight. Under this stormy, cold weather instead." He taunted, his gaze lingering on me like an hungry predator as he took calculated steps towards me inside my bedroom. "Come on, say it. Say you don't want my hands roaming up and down your thighs like before, Freya. Tell me you don't want to relive those memories again with me..." The closer he got, the more harder my nipples got. "Screw you, Ethan!" I sneered. "That's not the question, Freya." ~~ Freya Smith, a nineteen year old worked as a maid for the Slades— a well known business Empire in the country. One day, Ethan, the eldest son and future heir of the Slade's empire came home one holiday and their path crossed— sparking the beginning of a forbidden teenage love affair. Freya discovered she's pregnant with Ethan's child after he had left. Freya received a letter from Ethan telling her she was merely a trophy to him and one of the many girls he could have anytime he wanted and that it's better she aborted the child or have it taken care of all by herself and of which he would never be a part of. She was also tagged a destitute who could never amount to nothing in her entire existence and beyond. Now, seven years later and Freya is an independent woman, controlling several popular jewelry businesses and engaged to the country's wealthiest man's son while the Slades drown in bankruptcy. Will Freya's thirst for vengeance be quenched? or will Ethan trying to gain custody of their child now by nook and cranny be her greatest battle yet?

J'ai épousé Lucien Lepont depuis dix ans. J'ai rencontré toutes ses maîtresses après notre mariage. Chaque fois qu'il s'était lassé et qu'il voulait une autre femme, j'étais son meilleur prétexte pour rompre avec chacune d'elles. « Si tu m'épouses, tu deviendras comme elle. À la fin, nous serons trop habitués l'un à l'autre, et il n'y aura plus aucune nouveauté. » Le jour de notre anniversaire de mariage, j'ai essuyé les larmes de la femme qu'il venait de quitter, tandis que lui est allé au cinéma avec une nouvelle maîtresse. La jeune femme a vidé un paquet de mouchoirs en pleurant, et j'ai cru revoir mon propre visage d'autrefois. Alors, j'ai demandé le divorce à Lucien. Il s'est montré inhabituellement déconcerté, « Tu ne pourrais pas attendre un peu ? Peut-être que je reviendrai à toi un jour. » J'ai souri doucement sans répondre et j'ai réservé un billet d'avion pour l'autre côté de l'océan. Je n'ai plus eu la patience d'attendre ton retour, alors je suis partie la première.
