Freya Betrayal Chapter 60
Chapter 60 — Freya’s POVWounds and WhispersI woke up cold.Not freezing.Not shivering.Just… cold in that hollow, internal way that sleep sometimes leaves behind when rest never really comes.For a moment I didn’t move. My cheek was pressed against the couch cushion, my neck stiff, my limbs heavy like they belonged to someone else. The room was dim with early morning light, pale gold slipping through the curtains and stretching across the floor in thin lines.My journal was still tucked loosely against my chest.I blinked slowly, staring at nothing.Then I felt it.That familiar sensation.Being watched.I lifted my gaze.Brandon stood near the doorway.He must’ve been there for a while, because he didn’t react when I looked up. He was just… watching me. Quiet. Still. Careful.Too careful.“Morning,” he said softly.His voice sounded like it was afraid to be loud.I pushed myself upright. “Morning.”He rolled closer, slow and deliberate, like he didn’t want the wheels of his chair
Freya Betrayal Chapter 59
Chapter 59 — Brandon’s POVThe Wrong TargetsThe first thing I heard was running.Not casual footsteps. Not servants moving through halls.Running.Urgent. Uneven. Alarmed.I was halfway down the corridor before I even realized I’d stood up. My leg protested sharply, pain flaring like lightning through bone and nerve, but I barely felt it. Pain had become background noise lately — constant, dull, ignorable.The voices ahead sharpened.“…guest room—”“…wake him—”“…don’t tell—”My chest tightened.Not fear.Instinct.Something was wrong.And whenever something went wrong in this house lately, it always circled back to one person.Freya.I rounded the corner just as one of the junior staff nearly collided with me.“S-sir!”“What happened?” My voice came out calm. Too calm.The kind of calm that made people nervous.He swallowed. “Mr. Bryan, sir. He was found with a lady in the upstairs guest room where we laid him to rest .”Every muscle in my shoulders went rigid.“With who?” I asked.
Freya Betrayal Chapter 58
Chapter 58 — Freya’s POVPoisoned IntentionsI woke up tired.Not the kind of tired sleep fixes.Not the kind coffee touches.Not the kind a quiet morning cures.This was the kind of tired that lived in your bones.The kind silence creates.I lay there for a long time staring at the ceiling, listening to the soft hush of the curtains shifting in the breeze. My body was awake, but my thoughts lagged behind, heavy and tangled like they didn’t want to face the day.Because facing the day meant facing everything.Brandon’s careful kindness.Miya’s watchful presence.Rachelle’s smile that never reached her eyes.Secrets no one would name.Truths no one would say.It all pressed down on me at once.I felt like I was drowning in things no one else could see.When I finally turned my head, Brandon was already awake beside me, propped up against the headboard. He looked like he’d been watching me for a while.“Morning,” he said softly.I nodded. “Morning.”He studied my face.Concern. Always c
Freya Betrayal Chapter 57
Chapter 57 — Brandon’s POVThe Quiet Before the StormI knew she was gone before I opened my eyes.You learn the rhythm of someone you love.The sound of their breathing.The warmth they leave behind.The weight of their presence even when they aren’t touching you.And when it’s missing…you feel it instantly. I could feel it all over me. I miss Freya. My eyes opened slowly.The room was dim, washed in pale morning light. The blankets beside me were undisturbed, cold. The chair where she’d been sleeping lately sat empty.My chest tightened.Again.I stared at the ceiling for a long moment, listening.Nothing.No soft footsteps.No kettle whistle.No quiet humming like she used to do when she thought I was asleep.Just silence.I pushed myself upright, ignoring the dull protest in my leg, and reached for the wheelchair beside the bed. The metal felt cold beneath my palms as I eased into it, moving carefully so I wouldn’t make noise.Not because I wanted to sneak up on her.Because I
Freya Betrayal Chapter 56
Chapter 56 — Freya’s POVTangled in ShadowsThe house no longer feels like home to me. It looks familiar—same walls, same staircase, and those soft curtains that used to glow warmly in the evening light. But something inside it has changed, or maybe something inside me has. Brandon’s dinner still lingers in the air—warm spices, melted butter, the faint sweetness of candles he lit. The table was set just right, plates half-eaten, glasses barely touched—everything about it felt perfect. Careful. Thoughtful. Gentle. And that’s where the difficulty lies. It feels like he’s really trying, but trying too hard—like when someone apologizes without saying sorry. I stood at the kitchen counter, looking at the sink, my hands resting on the edge, my reflection faint in the dark window above. Behind me, I could hear Brandon shifting slightly in the living room. Even that sound feels different now—measured, controlled—like he’s afraid of disturbing something fragile, maybe even me. A f
Freya Betrayal Chapter 55
Chapter 55 — Brandon’s POVSlipping Through My FingersYou might not notice when someone starts drifting away from you at first. At the beginning, it’s just small things—things that seem insignificant or easy to explain. It’s natural to want to justify them. I saw the changes in Freya gradually. She smiled less, but not obviously—still when people spoke to her or when she handed me water, yet the sparkle in her eyes was fading. Once I saw it, I couldn’t unseen it. It hit me on the third morning after our talk about Miya. Freya was sitting by the window, sunlight shining on her, making her look almost unreal—like a painting come to life. She was reading on her phone, looking so calm, too calm. When I reached for her hand, she gave it without hesitation, but she didn’t intertwine her fingers with mine like she always did. My heart clenched. I told myself I was imagining it, but deep down, I knew I wasn’t.The Quiet ChangesFreya stopped reaching out without thinking, and that
