4 years loving him and getting him to do the same, but all it took her was a few minutes to ruin everything and get him back. His ex wife, my husband's ex wife, Bianca. The devil who left him when she became popular with his fame, the same woman who left him crashing out in my arms. She came back with a child and claimed it was his, he was eager to take her back. I was confirmed barren and all it took was a few hours before I smelt the fishy odour_ the divorce.
View MoreMy pupils dilated as I glared at my husband's ex wife sitting gracefully on the couch in my living room. My blood boiled in rage but I couldn't do anything about it and just watched her in silence.
Perhaps it never occurred to me that my husband's ex wife would come back 3 years later with a toddler and tell him he's a father. I don't even have the chance to be mad at him, she's giving him a child I couldn't give him for three years. He was surprised and angry but in a minute, he was holding the toddler in his arms like he had been expecting it all along without even considering my feelings. At that moment, I felt hurt but the fact that my husband wasn't even looking at me or explaining things properly. made me irritated. "What's going on? Are you just going to stand there or are you going to tell me what's going to happen? You can't just expect me to take her in do you!" I yelled but Kai's expression was not satisfying. "I'm so so sorry Freya, I can leave if you want me to but I have no where to go and it's raining. Please help me!" Bianca pleaded and went on her knees. But for all I care, I'm not in for sympathy with My husband's ex who is Cunning and this might just be one of her tricks to take my husband from me. "No one is going anywhere," Kai said and I bit my lips and glared at the toddler that clutched onto his shirt tightly. My heart ached that Kai was being too unserious about the whole thing. "We need to talk Kai," I said and walked into our bedroom. I sat on our bed and i forced back the tears that threatened to fall, what would happen after this?. In the end, my husband's family would be happy to have her replace me since they never liked me to start with. I would be an object of mockery for the whole city. Kai came into the room some minutes later and locked the door from the inside. I had held in for too long and wanted to pour out my heart but I'm not even sure if I can do that now that the one who really had his heart had returned with the thing he wanted the most. "What are you going to do now?" I asked him and he rested his back on the wall and stared at me with a gaze I couldn't interprete. "I don't know Freya, but we can't chase her out at this time of the night when it's raining and with my child." Kai said and the word "MY CHILD" played repeatedly in my mind and I thought I could loose my mind. "How could you make such a mistake? Have you forgotten who Bianca is? This might be just a way to get you back, what if the child is not yours? What if what if the child is another man's child?" I bombarded him with questions and he just walked closer to me and held my hand. The tears I forced in had started to roll down my cheeks uncontrollably. "What about me? Do you know how hurt I was when you held that child and took her in without consulting me? did you even consider how I felt?" I said. His face made me start thinking if he even loved me. It was as if he didn't care. "It's going to go fine Freya, about Bianca. We will have a DNA test tommorow and if the child is mine, she will stay." Kai's words couldn't be anymore nicer and I pulled back immediately. "What if the results comes out negative?" I asked and Kai sighed. "Then I'll send her out immediately, but for now. We still have to keep her in, we can't let anything happen to her or the baby." That night was the worst for me, I found myself tossing and turning on the bed without a solution to my problems. I felt sad and somewhat terrified that I would lose Kai. Even though we had been married for 3 years, I still couldn't get 20 percent of what Kai felt for Bianca. They were lovebirds and people never thought they would get to a point of separation. She used to be a model and he was a successful businessman and he still is. Bianca had a huge success bomb with Kai's fame and gradually started to pull away from him, subjecting to popular celebrities. She started going out with Kai's best friend and when Kai found out, he was infuriated. He gave a chance to explain but it felt like she had been anticipating a divorce for a while. She abandoned him and threw the papers in his face like they weren't lovebirds in the past. At that time, I was there to support him. Both mentally, emotionally and physically. But in the process, we found ourselves entangled in this web where it felt like I walked into the relationship on my own. And even in the time I needed him to support me the most, he always let me down. Even though he acted tough and all, I could still read his eyes. The way he looked at Bianca and her child, but to me. It felt like I was an obstacle he had to sort out. I felt a heavy arm on my waist and I adjusted my hips to sync with his. I turned to face him and cuddled up in his arms. His breath was hot against my face and I tried not to think of Bianca and clear my mind. Even though Kai never showed me his side of affection and love, I was sure he liked my curves and that was probably why he was attracted to me when I worked as his secretary. The only thing he wanted was my body, if I were to loose my shape. I would lose Kai, so I tried my best to stay fit and went to the gym on weekends. But all the efforts I made to build a stable relationship seemed to crash the moment that evil woman called Bianca stepped into this house. I silently prayed the DNA test results will come out negative, even more terrified it might come out positive.Chapter 066Put the gun down Lucien Lucien’s shadow filled the doorway before I even noticed he was inside. His eyes were cold, sharp, and unblinking while locked on me.“Who did you send it to?” he asked, his voice low and dangerous.I blinked, confused. “Send what?”“Don’t play stupid with me, Freya.” The words came out like poison. He stepped closer, and the click of a gun being cocked froze my lungs mid breath. “Stop fucking around with me.”My hands trembled as I stared into his cold eyes, It felt like a part of my imagination but it was real. Lucien was pointing a gun to my forehead and he didn't look like he was joking, “I don’t understand...”He closed the distance between us until the barrel of his gun was only inches from my forehead. “Who the hell did you send our location to? Tell me now, or I’ll blow your pretty little skull all over these walls.”My knees weakened. The air felt too thick to breathe. “I didn’t... Lucien, just explain...”“Explain?” He laughed once, sharp
CHAPTER 065WAKE UP PLEASE POV(FREYA)My hands won’t stop shaking.The smell of his blood clings to my fingers like guilt I can’t wash off. I try to breathe, but it gets caught somewhere between a sob and a scream. I’m soaked in him—his blood, his scent, his silence."Freya, please," Eliza says softly, but there's panic behind her voice. "Come, let me help you clean up."I shake my head violently. "No. Not until I know he's okay."Lucien is pacing like a storm, his phone glued to his ear, Russian words pouring out like gunfire. I don’t know what he’s saying, but the tension in his shoulders is loud enough.Eliza crouches in front of me. Her hair is a mess. Her eyes dart between my face and my hands. "Freya, you’re going into shock. You need to breathe.""I was going to tell him," I whisper. My voice cracks. "I was going to tell him tonight."She pauses, lips parting slightly. "Tell him what?"But I don’t answer. My chest heaves as I bite back a sob. I clutch my stomach without even t
CHAPTER 064STAY WITH ME ALANPOV (FREYA)The gunshot echoed before the words could even leave my mouth.I'm...A sharp crack split the air, and the world spun.Everything stopped.I blinked.Was that what I thought it was?I looked around, heart plummeting. For one second, just one breathless second, I prayed I’d imagined it. That it was thunder or fireworks or something, anything that didn’t mean blood.But then I saw him.Alan.He was on the floor.My ears rang as if someone had set off a bomb beside my head. I couldn’t move. My knees buckled, but somehow I didn’t fall. I just stood there, staring at the man I loved... his body crumpled, his eyes wide in stunned disbelief. Blood seeped through his shirt, growing darker, spreading.I couldn’t even scream.“Alan?”I said it like I was asking a question. Like maybe he would laugh and sit up, like this was all some horrible joke Eliza cooked up to teach me a lesson.But no one moved.No one laughed.I dropped to my knees, crawling forw
Chapter 063I'm pregnant, Alan no!POV (FREYA)I knew me throwing up every morning wasn't something I needed to ignore, the sudden dizziness and strange feeling I've never felt my whole life."Sounds like pregnancy symptoms to me, why not give a test a try?" One of the maids had said to me a few hours ago.Ridiculous but I still couldn't ignore it, she snuck in 10 test tubes for me and I wasn't actually grateful because this was obviously a stupid idea but I had nothing to lose either ways.I don't know what it was that I expected but it surely wasn't the two pink lines that stared back at me like ghosts.For the first thirty seconds, I stared at the two pink lines like they owed me rent.I blinked. Once. Twice. Nope. Still there.“What kind of evil defective stick is this?”I shook the pregnancy test like it might blink first. Maybe it was heat-sensitive. Or cursed. Maybe Eliza bought a prank one just to mess with me.I was barren. I was. That was the whole narrative of my life. That
CHAPTER 062Something about this morning POV (FREYA)I walked back in like I never left.No dramatic entrance. No words. Just the soft thud of my boots on the floor, the scent of Alan’s cologne still lingering in the air, and Eliza’s swollen eyes watching me like I might disappear if she blinked too hard.Alan stood frozen, mouth parted, as if he thought I was a hallucination.I didn’t speak. I only walked over to the couch where he’d dropped the blanket. Picked it up. Tucked it gently around Eliza’s legs. Her arms were still clutching the stuffed fox I’d given her days ago.When I looked up, Alan’s eyes met mine.“I’m not going anywhere,” I said.Not loud. Not soft. Just… enough.His shoulders fell, and for a second, I thought he might cry again. But instead, he just nodded, slowly, like he understood it was the closest thing I could give him to forgiveness right now.Morning approached and came soft.Not golden or poetic, just the usual kind of overcast grey that made you crave tea
FREYA'S POVThe world came back to me slowly, like dragging consciousness through heavy mud. My body felt like it had sunk through the earth, but the warmth pressed against my side brought me back.“Freya... Freya, you’re awake,” a familiar voice murmured, barely holding it together.I blinked, trying to focus through the blur, and found Alan leaning over me, his eyes puffy, jaw tight. The sleeves of his shirt were rolled up, and his hands were trembling where they clutched mine.“You scared me,” he whispered, pulling me into a shaky embrace.But the only thing I could say was, “Where is she?”Alan didn’t answer immediately. He looked over his shoulder, and when I followed his gaze, I saw Lucien standing a little too still near the window. His arms were crossed. There was something in his expression that felt calculated, but muted.Lucien gave me a small, tight-lipped smile. “She only fell from the second floor. There was a lower ledge. She’s... fine.”The second floor. Safe enough to
