Freddie's POV Just then, I heard footsteps, I quickly glanced over with anxiousness. And when I saw the fragile looking girl in the arms of the maid my mind seemed to freeze.She looked really fragile even from afar and I began to wonder what she would look like up close. Just when I saw her fully, I sucked into thin air.So fragile! More fragile than I ever imagined. I remembered seeing her at the hospital, and from my memory, I don't see her all thin to this extent. Her eyes were so big, and they looked back at mine with curiosity.I pursed my lips. Was it because she hadn't seen me? That's why she was staring at me.Ignoring everything, I continued to stare at her pretty face. For a young fragile girl that's battling with a sickness I'm not aware of, she's indeed beautiful. So beautiful and delicate.I pursed my lips but I didn't forget why I was here. If I didn't have my own fear and thoughts, I would have rushed over to hug her and share her pain.“Who are you?” Suddenly the gi
Freddie's POV Right now, I wasn’t in the right mood. Trying to understand someone else's feelings just wasn’t something I could deal with.So even though I saw that the maid looked scared, I didn’t care. I just urged her again, “Go and tell her to come downstairs now.”I was losing my patience. Honestly, part of me wanted to run upstairs and drag Judie down myself. But I held back. What if she tried to twist things and lie about it? After what she did last week, I couldn’t trust her anymore.She’d done something I never expected, getting pregnant without telling me and suddenly showing up, claiming the child was mine. That was low. And now, I wouldn’t put it past her to set me up again if I barged into her room.Just as I was pushing the maid for answers, Judie finally came down the stairs.My face darkened the moment I saw her. “What were you doing in that video?” I asked sharply.She pretended not to understand. “What video?” she said innocently, but the smirk on her face said othe
Freddie’s POV “I called Zenith to ask about you,” Collins said, “and he told me you’ve been really busy. He also complained that you’ve been dragging him along and not letting him rest. That’s when I figured you probably forgot about the party.”I nodded. If Zenith said that, then it was likely true. I’d been busy lately, no lies.“Don’t mind that guy,” I replied. “He just doesn’t like working overnight.”Collins laughed. “Who enjoys working until they’re completely exhausted? I think it’s only you.”“Whatever,” I said, getting ready to hang up.“Wait, before you go. Has Dave reached out to you since that day?” Collins asked suddenly.I paused, then shook my head even though he couldn’t see me. “No, I haven’t gotten any calls from him. Why? Did he say he would call?”“Not exactly,” Collins replied. “But every time I run into him, he asks about you.”“Huh, well I haven’t gotten anything from him. If he called, I would’ve seen it.” I shrugged.“Alright, just checking. Someone’s here to
Freddie's POV Zenith looked frustrated. I could tell he had a lot he wanted to say, but he held it in and didn’t dare complain.We worked non-stop since morning. I didn’t let Zenith leave, he had to work on the couch in my office.By afternoon, he finally paused. He dropped his pen and looked at me.“Boss, shouldn’t we go eat?” he asked.“And why should we?” I replied calmly.Zenith frowned. “I was waiting for you to bring it up, but since you didn’t, I thought maybe you forgot.”“I didn’t forget,” I said. “I just feel like working, not eating.”“You don’t feel like eating, but why drag me into that? I’m starving,” he muttered under his breath, but I heard him.“What was that?” I raised a brow.“Nothing,” he quickly said, biting his lip and lowering his head, defeated.I let out a small chuckle, amused by how miserable he looked. Serves him right, he got to enjoy a good night’s rest while I spent mine in chaos. Sigh.I focused back on my work, determined not to make any mistakes. But
Freddie’s POVWhen we got into the car, I drove off quickly. Using my phone, I searched for another nearby hospital.“Freddie, what are we doing here?” Judie asked loudly, already guessing.Still, I answered her. “We’re doing another DNA test.”“But we don’t have a sample of her blood,” she argued.“Don’t worry,” I said, walking into the hospital. “I took a strand of her hair.”Back when the first doctor handed me the test results, I already had doubts. So I quietly moved close to the little girl on the bed and plucked a small piece of her hair, no one noticed, not even Judie.“You did that?” Judie looked shocked. She raised her voice.“Yes, I did,” I snapped at her. “I don’t trust you. Why wouldn’t I get her sample myself?”Judie’s face darkened. She looked like she wanted to yell, but the words stopped in her throat when a doctor walked up to us.The receptionist had already called him for us.“Doctor, I need your help,” I said. “Please run this DNA test for me. I need the results i
Freddie’s POVI waited to hear her speak, only to receive a nod.Does Judie think I’m in the mood for her games right now? I’m overwhelmed with confusion, my head is a complete mess, and there she is, nodding like a fool, as if this is all some joke.“Can you stop all that damn nodding already?” I snapped, frustrated. “You’ve been doing it since. Just speak!”“Yes, she’s your child,” she finally said after I yelled.I shook my head quickly. “No. You’re just trying to trap me. I don’t even remember sleeping with you, and now you’re saying you’re pregnant with my child? That’s not happening.”“Believe it or not, the truth doesn’t change,” she said calmly, sitting on a stool next to the little girl lying on the hospital bed.“I don’t care what lies you’re saying,” I shot back.The truth is, I had no memory of that night. And since then, Judie never once came to tell me anything. So why now? Did she think I was some kind of fool? She just appeared out of nowhere talking about a child?The
