Freya’s POV

I was still shaking when he took my hand.

“Come.”

His voice was low, rough, the single word carrying more weight than any command he’d given me before. My legs felt heavy, but I let him lead me while I was still naked, skin still flushed and glossy, down the dimly lit hallway to his bedroom.

The door was half-closed behind us.

Moonlight slipped through the half-drawn curtains, painting silver stripes across the neatly made bed. It looked almost innocent—dark sheets, crisp edges, no

  • Off Limit: Claimed By My Ex-fiance's Step-dad    176: Ryder, I want a test done.

    ~~~Freya~~~I sat beside the bed, holding Ellie’s cold hand tightly between mine. My tears wouldn’t stop falling as I spoke to her, my voice broken and raw.“Ellie… I’m so sorry I wasn’t here sooner,” I whispered, sniffling. “All this happened because of me. I shouldn't have allowed Samantha be part of the doctors that wanted to treat you.”All this death thing… you died because of a panic attack? It’s fucking fake. I’m sure of it.My mind refused to accept it. Something happened in that room while they were treating you. Samantha was way too calm when everyone else was panicking. No. I wouldn’t believe your death was natural. Not after what you were about to tell me.I wiped my tears roughly with the back of my hand, sniffling hard. I squeezed Ellie’s hand tighter, my voice determined through the sobs.“Don’t worry, Abuela. I’ll get to the bottom of this. I’ll make sure whoever did this to you is punished. I promise.”I leaned down and kissed her forehead one last time before standin

  • Off Limit: Claimed By My Ex-fiance's Step-dad    175: Ellie Died.

    ~~~Freya~~~The words hit me like a blow We lost her.For a few seconds, everything went silent. My brain refused to process what Samantha had just said. I stood there frozen, staring at her with wide, unblinking eyes as the world around me started spinning.“No…” I whispered, my voice barely audible. “No… you’re lying. She was just… she was just talking to me. She can’t be…”My knees buckled. I felt like someone had ripped the ground from under my feet. A sharp, suffocating pain exploded in my chest as the reality crashed down on me.“No! No, no, no!” I screamed, my voice breaking into a raw, guttural sob. “She can’t be gone! I just got her back! You’re lying! You did something to her, didn’t you?!”Tears poured down my face uncontrollably. My whole body started shaking violently as I clutched my chest, struggling to breathe. It felt like my heart was being torn apart.“Ellie… my Ellie…” I cried, my legs giving out completely.Ryder caught me before I hit the floor, pulling me tight

  • Off Limit: Claimed By My Ex-fiance's Step-dad    174: Save Ellie.

    ~~~Freya~~~My entire body went ice cold.Samantha Reyes?The woman standing there in a white doctor’s coat with a stethoscope around her neck was none other than Samantha. Ryder’s so-called wife. The same woman who had tried to run me over.I stared at her in complete shock, my mouth slightly open. She’s a doctor?I quickly glanced at Ryder, hoping for some kind of reaction, but his face was completely blank — cold and unreadable. That only made my panic worse.“No… no, no, no!” I suddenly lunged forward, my voice rising into a scream. “Why the hell are you here?! Get away from my grandmother! You have no right to be here!”The doctor who had come out earlier stepped between us, raising his hands. “Miss, please calm down. Dr. Samantha Reyes is one of the senior cardiologists in this hospital. We’re currently short-staffed in the room, and she’s the best person to assist right now. Her expertise is exactly what your grandmother needs in this critical moment.”I was shaking with rage a

  • Off Limit: Claimed By My Ex-fiance's Step-dad    173: Doctor Samantha Reyes?

    ~~~Freya~~~My blood went cold.The words hit me like a truck, knocking the air out of my lungs. For a few seconds, everything around me went silent except for the loud pounding of my heart in my ears.No… that can’t be true.My hand slipped from the armrest of the wheelchair as my body went weak. I slowly sank down onto the cold hospital floor, sitting right there in front of her, my eyes wide with shock and disbelief.“W-what…?” My voice came out broken and barely audible. “Abuela… what are you saying? Elaine… killed my mom?”Tears blurred my vision as a storm of emotions crashed over me — shock, pain, anger, confusion. My chest felt tight, like I couldn’t breathe properly. My hands started trembling uncontrollably in my lap. All these years I thought my mother died from an illness… and now this?I stared at Abuela, my lips quivering. “Are you… are you sure? How… how do you know this?”Abuela nodded her head slowly, her expression deadly serious. “I’m very sure, mi niña. I was even

  • Off Limit: Claimed By My Ex-fiance's Step-dad    172: I missed you soo much.

    ~~~Freya~~~ Ellie slowly turned her head toward the sound of my voice. Her eyes widened slightly when they landed on me and a soft, familiar smile spread across her face. “Freya…?” Her voice was weak, but it was her voice. After so many years of barely being able to speak, hearing it again made my knees feel weak. I didn’t move at first. My feet felt glued to the floor. I don't know why but I still refused to believe I'm seeing grandmama again. Is this real? After all these years of praying, waiting, and hoping… was she really here? My steps were slow and hesitant as I walked toward her, almost afraid that if I moved too fast, she would disappear like a dream. My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it might burst out of my chest. Please don’t let this be a dream. Please let this be real. I stopped right in front of her wheelchair. With trembling fingers, I reached out and gently touched her cheek, as if I needed to confirm she was really there. Her skin was warm. Real. “Ellie

    ~~~Freya~~~“Freya, your grandma is back from Paris. She’s been transferred back to the city hospital.”I stood in front of the mirror, carefully applying my makeup for the day. I was just blending in some concealer when I heard Ryder utter those beautiful, words appealing to the ear.I blinked, completely stunned. The concealer tube slipped from my fingers and clattered onto the dressing table. I spun around so fast I nearly lost my balance.I rushed over to the bed where Ryder was casually scrolling through his phone. I climbed onto the mattress and sat right in front of him, my eyes wide as I practically leaned into his space.“What… what did you say, Daddy?” I asked, my voice breathless with shock.“Ellie is back?” I whispered, my voice shaking. “She’s back from Paris?!”He chuckled softly, dropping his phone onto the bed. He reached out and gently cupped my face with both hands, his thumbs brushing my cheeks.“Yes, baby,” he said tenderly. “Grandmama is back.”Tears pricked my ey
