Chapter: Chapter 70Freya's Pov Hold up. This woman looks so familiar. Have I perhaps seen her somewhere before?I squinted my eyes and looked inwardly, trying to remember where I had seen her and if we had a conversation or something.But in the blink of an eye, I recalled where I saw her and what encounter we both had. She was the granny I saw at Nina’s company who kept on complaining about her pictures.My eyes widened in shock. Who would have ever known that she was the one who took care of Xaden’s look alike at his lowest point? But then, we didn't actually form a bond right there and there was nothing we talked about except for the fact that she thanked me for her photos.Even as she stared at me, she still looked strict. I can't tell if she remembers me or not and that's only making me feel really nervous.“Goodness.” I said under my breath shakily as I watched her join us in the living room and take her seat.Hopefully that things go well during my time with her right here. I wouldn't want anyth

Chapter: Chapter 69Freya's Pov “Who are we to see and why do I have to be careful?” I asked him out of curiosity.“Well, that's because… Look, she is a granny right now and she played the role of a mother to the man I'm imposing, and did all she could do for me back then when he was younger. She was there for him in every way that he needed someone to be there, kind of.”“I don't understand. You are clearly different from the person you're talking about.”“Yeah, that's what I thought until I made my findings. We do look alike, so that's an advantage, and also, who knows, she might have an idea of where the shining gem could be. We just need to take things slowly and let the acting be perfect.”“Okay then…” I urged him to continue.“So, she's back in New York City and she wants to see you and me. You know that she has definitely gotten the hang of the so-called marriage. She just doesn't know that it's not, you know, real between us.” “Oh, I understand. That's great. But why do you look a little weird

Chapter: Chapter 68Freya's Pov For the past few days, my health has been a little discomforting. I came down with a cold and it didn't seem to go away quickly even with the medicine that was provided.We had gotten a temporary home because we still had to get our eyes peeled for the shining gem as that was the main reason for coming here. It would be really weird to go back with nothing since George who we were thinking might show us, was now in prison.I wrapped myself with my thick bed covers and sniffled as I reached out for my phone to check out what was going on on the internet and that's when I heard my room door open.“Hey, you're awake already.” Xaden said with a smile on his face.He was holding a tray with a glass of water and medicine.“Yes.” I replied and adjusted myself on the bed.When he got close to me, he sat at the edge of the bed and placed the tray on the bedside desk.“How are you feeling this morning?” He asked me and placed his palm on my forehead.“I'm a little better. At least,

Chapter: Chapter 67Freya's Pov Xaden was running towards us and the look on George's face said a lot about his shock. He didn't expect that Xaden would find us.“Shit!” He cursed out loud and released me.As he released me in the deep, strong water, I yelled out to him.“Hey!” I yelled out as he was the only one who could hear me quickly.But he didn't care enough to look back at me. The current was beginning to sweep my body away and I shrieked, trying to swim away and get to shore, but it was proving difficult to do that especially as the force of the water was really strong.“Help me!” I yelled out in fear, but Xaden had not gotten close enough to hear my light voice. “Shit!” I cursed boldly as I continued to try swimming fast and strong.What if the current becomes more forceful and makes the water sweep me away swiftly and moves me far from reach?What if I got to the middle of the water, and a big sea creature jumps up and eats me up? George's wish of death for me would be fulfilled immediately t

Chapter: Chapter 66Freya's Pov My eyes widened and almost popped out due to the shock I felt. I blinked my eyes to be certain that I was seeing the right person and the same face was still before me.“Is this truly George?” The words trailed off my tongue because it was a little difficult to believe.He had a smirk on and my heart continued to beat fast and faster like it was going to explode any minute from now as it seemed like he truly was George. So, when he had told me that he understood the fact that we were married, he didn't have it in mind to back out.All he wanted was to get Xaden to himself and seeing as he had already said he was going to get rid of me, he probably meant death.“Please. Please don't kill me.” I pleaded with so much fear in my heart.My legs were feeling wobbly and I also felt doomed that I had met my end already.“There's no way I'm letting you go since you've been proving stubborn.” George uttered devilishly.“Please.” I pleaded with a shaky voice as tears filled my eyes

Chapter: Chapter 65Freya's Pov I put my phone under my belly and closed my eyes, pretending to sleep. At least, If I didn't click on the message, the blackmailer won't know that I have seen his message or that I'm not asleep.I opened my eyes again and my eyeballs kept drifting left and right as I scanned the room as well. Even as I had not checked the message, I felt disturbed about it. What if he could see me or he knew that I wasn't asleep?Just then, I sat up and sighed in frustration. I picked up my phone again and opened the text. I let out a sigh and smacked my lips. “Alright, where?” I sent a text, and stared at the phone intensely.“The back of this hotel.” He informed me.Regardless of how scared and terrified I might be right now, it's just best for me to step out to avoid more troubles. Besides, nothing can happen to me. Freya, you can do this. Don't be scared.I slowly got down from the bed without making any noise as I didn't want Xaden to wake up from that. I reached for my jacket which
