Chapter 3 : Saviour Freya

Freya remained calm and patient despite facing Roselli siblings because she predicted their arrival and that’s also the reason why she didn’t hide in the corner of the world but came to her cousin as he’s the only support she could yearn after her heartbreak.

She had a very tough phase of her life and survived through the nightmares every other night and blamed herself for getting into trouble. If she hadn’t been greedy for money to clear her family’s debt, she wouldn’t have accepted Luc’s offer and wouldn’t have involved with him physically and wouldn’t have fallen in love with him.

If only she resisted her feelings as soon as she realized, she wouldn’t have to go through all this shit. She got tired of the nightmares that’s haunting her like a ghost, making her feel guilty for no reason. After attending therapy sessions she finally got to know where her guilt was coming from. It’s Klara, Luc’s sister.

She’s guilty because she’s constantly worried about Klara as she didn’t know about her condition and thought countless times to approach Klara to tell her the truth because no one knows about what happened on the night of her kidnap. Only she can testify that Klara’s innocent and clean.

Lucas believed that she induced Ric’s semen into Klara but the truth was she didn’t. She did empty the syringe but she only sprayed it between Klara’s thighs and made it look like she obeyed Ric. She of course loves Luc and wanted to save him from Ric but she can’t risk one life for the other. She tried to explain it to Lucas the next day but he……Klara’s voice pulled Freya out of her trance and she faced Klara with a rigid look.

“Let’s cut the chase Freya. What happened on the other night?”

Klara got straight to the point as there’s no need to dwell with twisting words. She knew her brother might have said many horrible things to Freya from the way she’s speaking to her but she can’t do anything about it. They should solve their issue by their own and she can only help them from the side.

“Would you believe me?”

Freya asked though she knew the answer. Of course no one believes her because in their eyes she’s a greedy cheap woman who hurts others for her own selfishness. It’s OK. Let them think whatever they wanted but why’s her heart aching?

“I trust you Freya and that’s why I’m standing here waiting for you to clear my baby’s identity”

Freya’s eyes widened in amusement as she didn’t except to hear Klara say that she believed her. How is it possible? Didn’t her brother fill her brain with his nonsense? If yes, she should taunt her for everything that happened but….Anyway! Since Klara’s here to know the truth, she might as well fulfil her wish.

The clock ticked and each word Freya said hit Lucas like a thunder bolt. He felt his heart getting squeezed by something as his ears became numb. He clearly remembered the empty syringe from the other day and thought Freya hurt Klara driven by her jealousy but that’s not the case.

He's wrong about Freya. He thought she’s just like any other woman who can do anything to achieve their goals but Freya’s not like that. She rather let her heart break by letting go of the only woman who she thought was her love rival than hurt her.

He felt a pang in his chest remembering his cruel words. He called her a cheap woman and didn’t even give her a chance to explain herself. She’d just escaped from a life threatening situation but he didn’t care about her mental health and drove her away mercilessly. How can he be so cruel?

Klara is totally oblivious to her brother’s condition outside Freya’s house as she’s basking in the joy of carrying Ralph’s child. She knew it. The baby belongs to Ralph.

For someone who’s disgusted with physical touches, Klara hugged Freya overwhelmed by her emotions. She’s devastated when Lucas told her about Ric’s evil scheme and for some reason she felt a heavy weight bearing on her shoulders but now she’s free from the torment. Thanks to Freya she’s having her moment now.

Freya was totally taken aback by Klara’s hug and her hands instinctively extended to hug her back but she restrained herself. She can’t let her heart waver whilst it breaks again. She learned her lesson many times so it’s time to keep check on her emotions. She shouldn’t let herself into the web of Roselli’s.

“You are my saviour Freya”

Klara whispered in her choked voice as the joy made her eyes water and withdrew from the hug. Though Ralph’s betrayal and cruelty crushed her, the news of her baby being alive and Freya’s assurance wiped away the bitterness in her heart.

“I think you got what you wanted. Please leave. I have urgent matters to attend”

Freya said as she picked up her handbag and took her car keys to leave as she has an appointment with the counsellor. She rented a single bedroom house close to Aiden’s residence which was why she’s talking to Klara peacefully. If Aiden’s with her then he would’ve smashed Luc’s face.

Klara’s smile faded as Freya chased her away bluntly. She didn’t expect Freya to become cold towards her and it’s her brother who made Freya like this. He must’ve done something to make Freya angry. Of course men are born to ruin things, her brother was not an exception.

“Freya”

Klara said slowly approaching the busy figure and held her hand. Freya stopped pacing and faced Klara, her face void of any emotion.

“I don’t know what happened between you and my brother but you have a life back in Cylantra. Don’t waste it on the account of Luc”

It's the only way she can think of to persuade Freya, to bring her back to Cylantra but she also knew it’s hard to live in the city where you lost your love and trust.

“I know what I’m doing Ms. Roselli. Just leave me alone. Don’t ever show your faces to me in this life time. I’ve had enough pain your brother caused me. I can’t take more”

Her words didn’t just hurt Klara but also Luc who was standing outside with a pale face. Klara may not understand the underlying meaning in Freya’s words but he did. He hurt her many times and she’s done with him now for real. The feeling of being hated by Freya was worse than taking a bullet shot from his enemies. Did he really lose Freya this time?
