FREYA POV

I don’t know when I fell asleep or how long, but I woke up with the sudden need to urinate. I sat up in bed, still disoriented, and turned toward the window. It was already dark outside. My eyes moved to the digital clock glowing blue on the nightstand.

1:24 a.m.

Past midnight.

I got out of bed and walked into the bathroom. Since I hadn’t showered before falling asleep, I decided to do it now. As the water warmed, Nana crossed my mind. She probably thought I would come downstairs to e

    FREYA POV“What if I refuse?”The words left my mouth, and a terrifying silence followed—a heavy, suffocating one.My heart slammed hard against my ribs, loud enough I was sure he could hear it. But I didn’t look away. I forced myself to keep staring at him, waiting for the explosion.He didn’t answer immediately; after another long silence, his eyes dragged down slowly to the diamond ring on my finger before crawling back up to my face. Then he smiled. I mean, a real dark smile.“Go ahead and refuse,” he said.My stomach dropped.“What?” I blinked. “Go on, Freya… refuse.” He tilted his head slightly, watching me like he was actually enjoying this.I felt completely thrown out.God.“Are you daring me?” I asked, my voice thin.“Am I?”He said while his eyes stayed fixed on me. I became completely speechle

    FREYA POVThe first thing I felt was the smell—the stinging scent of bleach and cold air that only exists in one place.Hospital.I opened my eyes slowly, and my head felt like it was about to split into two. The white ceiling was blurry, and every time I tried to focus, the room tilted. I wanted to just sink back into the dark, but then I heard it.A voice. Low, cold, and vibrating with a kind of authority that made the hair on my arms stand up.I managed to turn my head just an inch. Steve was standing by the window, his back turned to me. He looked huge against the clinical white of the room, his shoulders tight, his phone pressed to his ear."I don't care what he says," Steve hissed into the phone. His voice was a lethal whisper, the kind that promised blood. "Keep him there. If he tries to move, break his other leg. I’ll deal with the cleanup when I’m done here."He paused, listening to whoever was on the other

    STEVE POVI looked down at how hard Freya was holding my wrist. Her fingers were digging into my skin, shaking, and the last thing I expected from her right now was to see a gaze of pity for this piece of shit on the floor.I looked at her face, seeing the way she was looking at Jax—one of my best men, a guy who doesn't know how to stop until I tell him to. She was pleading with me. With just a look, she was begging me to stop him from shooting Mark. After everything this ass had done to her, I looked at the shattered bottle on the floor and then back at the blood dripping down her forehead. I couldn’t believe she still had enough heart to want him to breathe.It made my blood boil. It made me want to grab the gun from Jax and finish it myself just to teach her that some people don't deserve mercy.“Steve... please...” she whispered.She barely managed to get the words out. Her voice was thin, like paper tearing, and before

    FREYA POV The ringing in my ears was louder than the explosion of the bottle. I stood frozen. My heart was hammering against my ribs like a trapped bird, and for a split second the old me wanted to curl into a ball and scream. I could feel the cold sweat breaking out on my skin while my hand still hovered near the door handle, trembling just a fraction. I didn't let it drop, though. I forced my spine to stay straight even though my knees felt like water. I couldn’t breathe or move; I suddenly felt it. A warm, slow tickle started at my hairline and began to roll down my forehead. I reached up, and my fingers grazed the skin. It’s blood. A tiny piece of glass must have flown and slid across my skin. I looked at the red on my fingertips, and a dark, slow smirk moved at my mouth as I realized what just happened. One inch to the left. If he had aimed just one inch to the left, that bottle wouldn't have hit the wall. It would have hit me.

    FREYA POV“What the fuck are you doing?” I screamed, my voice cracking against the walls like glass.Mark’s eyes were wild—pupils blown wide, sweat beading on his forehead despite the cool air in the house. He pocketed the key with a deliberate slowness that made my stomach lurch.“You’re not leaving,” he repeated, lower this time, almost like he was convincing himself. “Not again…”I backed up a step, my heel catching on a shard of glass from the bottle. Pain flared sharp across my calf, but I ignored it. Blood was already drying on my forehead; a thin trickle had reached my eyebrow. I could taste copper on my lip where I’d bitten it.I glanced toward the kitchen and the stairs, my eyes searching for any sign of life. Where was Rebecca? Where was anyone? The house felt unnervingly hollow, as if the walls had swallowed every other living soul, leaving me alone with a ghost who

    FREYA POVDriving the latest Bugatti around the city is definitely a head-turner.I could feel every single pair of eyes on me as I cruised through the streets. People were literally stopping on the sidewalk, pulling out their phones to take videos of a car they’d probably only ever seen on a poster. And honestly? I didn't blame them. The engine had this low, aggressive growl that made people clear the way before I even got close.I gripped the steering wheel, my palms a little sweaty. It felt weird. A week ago, I was just a woman trying to keep my head above water, and now I’m sitting in a cockpit that costs millions. Every time I hit a red light, I could feel the heat of people staring, trying to peek through the tinted glass to see who was behind the wheel.They probably expected some billionaire or a celebrity.I caught my reflection in the rearview mirror and straightened my posture. I had to stop looking like I was scared of
