I Came for Him, Not Them

Abby's POV

“Someone’s asking for you, Abby.” Freya said walking into the room. I was on call with Hayden but had to go. Derek had already called earlier, he said he was coming here. So technically, he’d be the one asking for me.

“I came earlier to check on you, but you were asleep. I didn’t want to disturb you.” She added.

She was right. When I left the dining table, I came here, let out my anger and eventually slept off.

I stood up from the bed.

Freya came closer, holding my hands. “Abby,” she called softly. “Don't let what father said at the dining table get to you, huh?”

I didn't say anything but slipped on my old slippers. I'd left them in this room.

I turned to her. “It's fine Freya. I understand nothing has changed with the way they still view me. And I promise never to show up here again.” I said, already walking out.

Derek was the only reason I agreed to come in the first place. And that mistake won’t happen twice.

Freya let out a breath and followed behind me.
