2025-04-03 12:16:09Freya's POV
I watched the scene unfold before me, my heart racing with anticipation. Brian's face turned red with anger as Brandon's words hung in the air. "Freya is my wife," Brandon reiterated trying to let this realization sink into Brian who still stood there flabbergasted, his voice firm and resolute.
Brian took a step forward, his fists clenched at his sides. "You can't be serious," he spat, his eyes blazing with fury. "Freya deserves so much better than you. And Freya are you for real? him? I know I hurt you but doing this to spite me is just overboard."
Despite everything unfolding he still somehow to make everything about himself."Brian I am going to hold your hands when I say, the world does not actually revolve around you and your bruised ego, Brandon and I are married and it is not some twisted game to get back at you, you're not as important as you think." I spelled out each word and each sentence, hoping it would give him a grasp on reality
"So you expect me to think under three weeks you met, fell in love and got married? are you that much of a gold digger?" He shamelessly asked as Brandon landed a swift puch to his cheek sending him straight to the perfectly polished floor, stunning everyone. I immediately went in between them trying to deescalate as much as I could but Brian was hot headed and Brandon was angry.
"You have a lot of nerve don't you? waltzing in here like you own the place, demanding explanations when you couldn't give her the courtesy of one." he said as I tried to hold him back.
"Brandon that's enough." I whispered begining to feel the weight of embarrassment in front of my in laws
But before things could escalate further, Brandon's mother intervened. She stood up, her eyes flashing with anger, and pointed a finger at Brian. "You're one to talk, aren't you?" she said, her voice dripping with disdain. "You, who abandoned your own fiancee for someone else. You, who think you can just walk in here and dictate what's best for Freya."
Brian's face turned even redder, but Brandon's mother wasn't finished. "You're entitled, Brian. You think the world revolves around you, but it doesn't. Why don't you go back to your own wife, Rachelle, and leave Freya alone?"
I felt a pang of surprise at the mention of Rachelle's name, I never knew or even thought they were aware of everything between my best friend and I, or at least, she used to be.
But I didn't have time to dwell on anything about Rachelle now.
Brandon's mother had just defended me, a virtual stranger, against her own family member. I felt a surge of gratitude towards her, and towards Brandon, who had stood up for me.
Brian took to his feet, looking defeated as he turned to leave before stopping on his heels. "This is not the end of this." he said trying to sound threatening before he finally left.
The tension in the room had shifted, what was beginning to feel like home was now suddenly laced with this uneasy tension after the major confrontation with Brian and I was extremely grateful for their defense but the height of embarrassment was heavier.
"Thank you," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "Thank you for defending me."
Brandon's mother smiled and patted my hand. "You're family now, Freya," she said. "We look out for each other."
I smiled back at her, feeling a sense of belonging that I hadn't felt in a long time. But as the evening wore on, I began to feel overwhelmed. I excused myself, saying I was tired, and made my way to my room.
As I lay in bed, I couldn't help but think about the events of the evening. Brian's anger, Brandon's mother's defense of me...it all felt so surreal. But as I drifted off to sleep, I felt a sense of peace wash over me. I was exactly where I was meant to be at least I thought I was.

Freya Betrayal Chapter 41
FREYA'S POVThe golden hour had just passed, leaving behind a soft, honeyed glow that filtered through the expansive glass walls of the banquet hall. From my place near the entrance, I watched as the final touches were being placed—florists adjusting centerpieces, staff setting wine glasses at perfect angles, strings of lights humming softly above us like stars caught mid-breath.It was magical. The way everything shimmered with purpose. The elegance wasn’t ostentatious—it was intentional, dignified. Gerald Lefevre had spared no expense for tonight’s event, and it showed. Every detail was a reflection of legacy, wealth, and quiet power.I walked slowly along the edge of the room, admiring the crisp table linens and fresh hydrangeas. Candlelight flickered in ornate glass holders, adding a warmth to the otherwise formal atmosphere. The scent of roses and expensive perfume floated in the air, blending with the savory promise of whatever was cooking in the kitchens.“Taking it all in?” ca
Freya Betrayal Chapter 40
FREYA'S POVI was halfway through the quarterly projections when Lucy burst into my office with an energy that made me finally look up.“Freya! You’re not going to believe this—” She bounced in on one foot, her eyes sparkling. “Gerald’s setting up a shareholders’ party. It’s going to be a thank-you gala—cocktails, light hors d’oeuvres, the whole nine yards. You know… to show appreciation for everyone’s support this year.”I stretched a hand toward her, hiding a tired smile behind a yawn. “That sounds… unexpected.”She grinned. “It kind of is. But here’s the thing—since you’re now officially part of the family, married to the VP, you’re technically a shareholder. Gerald wants both of us there.”I blinked. “Me? At a shareholders’ gala?”“Of course, you. Right now you’re probably the most important partner this company has. That little announcement isn’t just ceremonial—it’s strategic. They want to affirm solidarity after last quarter’s shift in leadership.”Lucy sat across from my desk,
Freya Betrayal Chapter 39
FREYA'S POVI stayed quiet as the meeting finally wound down—the silence felt heavier than any argument ever could. Papers rustled, chairs scrubbed across the floor, and breaths let out like they’d just crossed a finish line. Although in here, the final buzzer meant only one thing: be ready for the next challenge.Brandon was the first to rise. I slid out of my chair and stood too, smoothing the crease in my skirt without really noticing the fabric. He moved past colleagues with a confident, measured stride toward the massive double doors. I followed, tucking a loose strand of hair behind my ear. The room felt charged one moment longer, like it needed to exhale.At the threshold, Brandon paused. He looked down at me—just for a second, but that was all it took. That look said everything: Come on. It was time.He led the way out, and before I even registered the shift in space, we were met by two bubbling faces: Gerald and Kyle, standing just beyond the doors like sentries guarding a pr
Freya Betrayal Chapter 38
FREYA'S POVIt had started out as just another board meeting. I was seated beside Brandon, fingers loosely interlaced in my lap, trying to keep my focus sharp. The air was sterile with the usual mix of coffee, crisp papers, and stiff colognes. Around the long table, executives murmured to one another as they reviewed notes and scrolled through presentations on their tablets. Brandon was calm, focused, and unreadable, as always. But suddenly—something shifted.It was subtle at first. A buzz. A few heads turned toward the door, murmurs growing quieter. Phones lit up with notifications. Kyle, sitting diagonally across from us, straightened in his chair, his posture rigid like he’d just been called to attention. My gaze flicked to Brandon, who was reading a text on his phone with narrowed eyes.That’s when it happened—almost like a wave of anxiety crashing over the room. People were adjusting their jackets, brushing invisible dust off their sleeves, closing folders, and sitting upright. O
Freya Betrayal Chapter 37
BRANDON The scent of brewed coffee and warm buttered toast drifted through the air as I stood by the kitchen island, flipping through my emails on the tablet. Freya sat at the breakfast table, her hair falling softly over her shoulder, still damp from her morning shower. She was slicing into a piece of fruit, her expression distant, like her thoughts were elsewhere—somewhere quiet and far away.It was one of those mornings where the light came in just right through the kitchen windows, catching the golden strands in her hair and making her look almost ethereal. I caught myself staring, forgetting the article I had been skimming, forgetting the meetings lined up for the day. All I could think about was how lucky I was that she was here—real, steady, and slowly becoming the anchor I never knew I needed.I set the tablet down and reached for my coffee. It wasn’t exactly the most romantic setting—me in a crisp white shirt already half-dressed for work, her in one of my oversized sweatshi
Freya Betrayal Chapter 36
FREYASleep didn’t come easily, not at first. I lay on my side, curled beneath the soft comforter, staring at the dim outlines of furniture in the room. The city outside was quiet tonight, the usual hum of life dulled to a distant whisper. But even in the calm, my thoughts were restless, running in small, frantic circles.Brandon was still in the bathroom, brushing his teeth or maybe going over his nightly routine with the kind of discipline he always carried—always precise, always reliable. That thought should’ve soothed me, and in a strange way, it did.We didn't stay in the same room but next door to each other, I always heard the tap running and going off. I've heard it all so often that I know when he goes to bed and when he wakes up, when he sleeps in his study and when he decides to sleep in his bed room instead. But what really settled the knots in my chest wasn’t the stillness of the room or the familiarity of his presence. It was what I’d said earlier. What I had finally le
