POV(FREYA),

I woke up to the smell of pancakes hitting my nose very early in the morning, I slowly sat up and found Kai missing. He wasn't by my side Anymore, a slight giggle escaped my lips as I imagined him making breakfast for me. He has never done it but maybe I suddenly got high hopes this morning since I thought he was making breakfast.

I hurried out of bed and rushed downstairs in my pyjamas. I was shocked when I saw numerous foods displayed on the dinning table and I found myself wondering if Kai really prepared all these.

I followed the smell of the pancakes to the kitchen and Bianca was holding up my kitchen spoon, flipping pancakes in my pot. With my ingredients?

Without thinking twice or considering anyone's feelings. I yelled, "get the f**k out of my kitchen!"

The hot pancakes landed on the frying pan handle and the pan flipped and fell on her leg, it burned her and she yelped in pain. I hurried to her and immediately held up the pan.

Kai rushed into the kitchen and I immediately dropped the pan since it looked like I burned her with it. He gave me a stare that I couldn't read and I hoped he didn't think I intentionally hurt her.

Without asking questions or asking me how it happened, he lifted her up and carried her to the living room.

I tailed behind and watched as he cleaned her burn wounds and sealed it up.

"What did you do that for?" Kai asked, glaring at me and I knew he would misinterpret the situation.

"It's not what you think Kai, I didn't hurt her. Tell him what happened Bianca..." My voice trailed off watching Bianca in disbelief as she cuddled up in Kai's arms and made an uncomfortable look.

"I told you to wait till the results but you had to go ahead and hurt her? Is that how much you hate her?" Kai shot at me and I wanted to yell at him but I knew how that would turn out.

"There's no use in talking to you..." I hissed and hurried upstairs in anger. This felt like a dream and I wished it would all end after the DNA results. Bianca seemed too relaxing for someone who brought in another man's child, like she had a plan.

I felt hurt that Kai was pulling away too quick, it wasn't supposed to be this fast. I had pictured this same moment but in a more proper way.

We arrived at the hospital and they all went to get their blood drawn except me and I felt left out.

In as much as I felt hurt, I had no one to confide in.

"It would take at least 3 business days before the results can be out." The doctor informed us and I felt too uneasy, I thought the results would be out immediately.

Bianca held onto Kai's hand and wouldn't let go, he looked too pleased holding her and I was jealous that he never gave me a chance to hold him like that in public.

"Let me help you with the bag," Bianca feigned concern reaching for my bag and I glared at her.

"Like you can lift your own bag," I shot at her and Kai shot me a bad look.

"Let's go," Kai said and I rolled my eyes. "Ouch ouch!" Bianca winced in pain and made her leg look like she couldn't walk.

"I can't move my legs, help me stand up."

"You can't walk like this, Freya could you please hold Liam for a while?" Kai asked handing me the toddler that looked like he fell from hell(he's very cute)

I hesitated for a while but finally carried him, Kai lifted Bianca like a child and walked out of the hospital without looking at me.

I felt like my whole world had shattered that instant and I wanted to throw this damnn child into the trash can.

I joined them in the car and Kai had me sit in the passenger seat while Bianca sat beside him at the front.

We maintained perfect silence till we got home and I stormed into my room the moment I got home.

I rushed into the bathroom and turned on the shower on my head, I wanted to cool off and relax.

I sat in the filled tub and cried my heart out, I thought I had built a family. But it turns out the family I dreamt of building would only exist in my dreams.

I heard a knock on the door and I immediately wiped my tears and turned the shower off.

Kai entered the bathroom before I could prepare myself. He stared at me and I immediately avoided his gaze.

"Are you okay?" That question made me want to hit him hard in his groin, like how the f**k does he expect me to be fine after all that happened?

"I'm fine, I just wanted to have a bath." I lied without looking at him even though I knew he was staring right at me.

"With your clothes on?" He said and I realized I was seating in the water filled tub in my dress.

"I jus-just I forgot," I lied and stepped out of the tub with my dress dripping with water.

"Is this about Bianca?" Kai asked and I bit my lips. He would never understand me, not in this life.

"You don't understand Kai, the point is..." My words were cut off when we heard Bianca scream so loud from downstairs.

Kai rushed out of the bathroom without looking at me, it was as if I was saying something meaningless.

I felt a sharp pain pulsated through my belly and I held the shower stand as aid so I wouldn't slip.

I stayed in the bathroom for one hour with the hope that Kai would return, but I was wrong. He never came back.

I had my bath and went directly to bed, hoping this would all end when I wake up in the morning.

    CHAPTER 093POV FREYAFreya’s POVThe hospital corridors were quieter now, but the silence didn’t comfort me. It felt like judgment, heavy, endless, and cold.The flashing lights from the police cars outside still burned behind my eyes. I could still hear the sound of the doors slamming, Alan’s faint smile as he was taken away traumatized me.That image wouldn’t leave me.Kaiden’s hand rested lightly on my shoulder as we walked toward the elevator. His touch used to calm me, but now it only made me tense.“You shouldn’t have run out like that,” he said softly, his voice perfectly measured, the same calm he always used when I was falling apart. “You’re not well enough to be on your feet.”I didn’t answer.“Freya,” he continued, guiding me inside the elevator, “listen to me. What Alan did... what he’s done. it’s not your fault. You did what you had to do.”I finally turned to face him, my voice barely a whisper. “He saved her, Kaiden.”His eyes narrowed slightly. “What?”“Bibi,” I said

    CHAPTER 092POV FREYABut I didn't say that, I didn't say anything. It was all in my head.The air in the hospital room grew heavier the longer the police waited for my answer. I could feel their eyes on me, patient but expectant. The sound of the heart monitor echoed faintly, it was a soft, steady rhythm that didn’t belong to me.Kaiden’s hand was still in mine, warm and reassuring, even though he hadn’t opened his eyes since they came in. I didn’t know if he was truly asleep or just pretending, but I could feel his breath against my wrist. It was slow, measured as if he was Listening.The taller officer cleared his throat politely. “Mrs. Grayson, I understand this is emotional, but your statement is crucial. You were close to both Mr. Kaiden Grayson and his cousin Alan Grayson. We need your honest opinion on who do you think had motive to harm Damien Grayson?”My lips trembled. “I… I don’t know,” I murmured.“Please, ma’am. The board will make decisions based on your words.

    Chapter 091Kaiden’s POVThe first thing they teach you about control is that it’s not about force. It’s about timing. The right word, the right hesitation, the right touch and that’s all it takes to build a leash around someone’s heart. Freya had always been that kind of person. Soft. Empathetic. Desperate to believe that love could fix anything, even rot.I’d known since the moment she raised her voice at me that night, that I was losing her. And when Freya starts to lose faith, she doesn’t shout. She gets quiet. Detached. She begins to think. And a woman who starts thinking can ruin everything.That’s why I did what I did.The crash was never meant for her.The plan had been simple, Bibi drops her ball because of a planned crow attack, the car crosses the road, brakes fail and panic sets the narrative. I’d already paid off the mechanic, the driver, even the first responder who’d leak the “accident” story. Bibi was supposed to be the target.I hated that little brat. Every time I sa

    CHAPTER 090POV FREYAThe morning began the same way most of them did lately, with noise. The clatter of dishes in the kitchen, the echo of Rose calling out for someone to take the trash, and the faint sound of cartoons spilling from the living room where Bibi sat cross legged on her pink couch, her pink backpack beside her.It should have been peaceful. It should have been one of those ordinary mornings that passed without thought. But instead, my head was still pounding from the whole situation. Kaiden’s voice low and sweet one moment, sharp the next, convincing me Alan had something to do with Damien’s accident.I wanted to scream. Not because I didn’t believe him, but because I didn’t want to. I was tired of being manipulated into seeing everyone through his lens.He’d promised he would show up at Bibi’s parent meeting today, he’d even kissed my forehead when I asked, pretending to look sincere.Now, as I tied Bibi’s shoelaces and fixed the ribbon on her hair, I could already feel

    CHAPTER 089POV FREYAMorning came too soon.I barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, I heard Kaiden’s voice again. It was the soft, persuasive, threaded with poison words that felt like lies. He said all I had to do was testify. To Say his name. And it rang in my head all night long.The sound of clattering dishes downstairs pulled me back to the present. Bibi’s laughter followed, bright and innocent, the only thing in this house that still felt pure.I dragged myself out of bed, brushing my hair into a loose ponytail before glancing at the mirror. I looked fine. Tired, but fine. That was all that mattered.When I went downstairs, Rosa was already setting the breakfast table. “Good morning, ma’am,” she said cheerfully, arranging the cutlery. “Mr. Kaiden said to make something special today.”“Special?” I repeated.“Yes. He said it’s a birthday breakfast.”I frowned. “His birthday isn’t until two days from now.”Rosa smiled awkwardly. “He said it doesn’t matter that you wanted to

    Chapter 088POV FREYA I forced a small smile. “No. In fact, I was just thinking we should celebrate something.”That caught him off guard. “Celebrate?”I nodded quickly, trying to shift the conversation. “i planned a little something just for the two of us."He blinked, the sharp edge in his expression softening. “honestly I'm surprised You remembered.”“Of course I did,” I said lightly. “So I thought… we could celebrate early. Just us.”For a moment, something like genuine warmth crossed his face. Then he reached out, hand resting on my waist. “You always know how to make me feel special, Freya.”I smiled faintly, trying not to show how his touch made me stiffen. “That’s kind of the point.”He leaned closer, voice dropping lower. “What did I do to deserve you?”I wanted to answer, but the truth would’ve ruined the moment. So I didn’t.Instead, I busied myself setting the table. The lights dimmed naturally as dusk crept through the windows. I’d cooked earlier, not knowing why I bothe
