Freya's POV
«SIX YEARS LATER.»
I came out of the place slowly walking to the exit of the airport as Sophia and Riley ran around without watching their steps.
"Common, Sophia, caution your sister." It was too exhausting raising two daughters alone but with the help of Donna and Lucas, it became more easier for me.
Donna and Lucas came earlier than us to prepare for my welcoming party and even though I still felt somehow coming back, I was back for one more thing, Revenge.
I know something was fishy about my divorce with Henry, I don't love him anymore but I wouldn't allow just a scheming woman to plan against me.
As much as I know, I know it wasn't a coincidence Linda got pregnant and was able to announce the news before I could get to Henry, or should I say I had no idea what she said or what she saw him for him to completely lose his interest on me.
I don't care because I no longer love him. Just then Riley ran towards the door like she had seen someone and Sophia followed.
"God, these kids." I tried running after them but ended up bumping into someone, the chest was hard, and judging that I had bumped into it hard made me wince in pain.
"Fuck!" I cussed raising my head to meet a familiar blue pair of eyes. The eyes I hadn't seen for years. My jovial face slows and my body red. I realized how much I have longed for.
"Freya?" His tone was shocked and his eyes held an expression I couldn't describe. I rolled my eyes and disengaged from him.
"Watch where you are going Mr Moore," I said and attempted to go my way but he stopped me by helping my hand, I frowned instantly, and my brow twitched in anger.
"Let go," I said gently, trying not to sound rude or angry so he'd let me go but he ended up hugging me.
I disengaged immediately slapping him right on his cheek, "How dare you, Henry? Watch how you touch me and respect yourself, you are a family man, not a scumbag." I hissed pushing him out of my way as I went out.
I could hear him calling my name but I was less concerned, my heart was racing. I couldn't believe he could still make my heart race that way after six years but I knew maybe I was scared and that was why I felt that way.
I saw Sophia and Riley with Donna at the door and shook my head, these kids. But it was good as they ran away saving them from meeting Henry or I'll have to come up with a lie on how to deny they weren't his kids.
He was not worthy of being their father. I walked over and hugged Donna before facing the kids, "Girls, what did we always talk about?" I frowned, Sophia pouted, her brown eyes shining, she was a replica of Henry and she mostly reminded me of him.
"No more running anywhere it's crowded." She answered, Riley was looking, her emotion not predictable, she was looking more like me but got her attitude from Henry.
"I'm sorry Mom." She softly said. Donna tugged me lightly which made me chuckle, maybe I was being too harsh.
"Okay, damsel. No more running, now let's go home to meet Grandma and Grandpa." They squealed happily as we walked to the car.
«THREE DAYS LATER.»
«AT THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE NEW PRESIDENT OF WILSON GROUP.»
The door opened as I walked in gracefully, my long shiny slit silver gown shining as it backed me up complimenting my skin.
The spotlight was on me as I walked in, I dropped Sophia and Riley off with Mom and Dad so they wouldn't be running around carelessly.
Alina came to meet me to accompany me to my seat, I wouldn't lie, she felt as though she had changed a lot. From her personality to the way she relates now.
She had been apologizing all these while after dad told her about it and I think from the report given, she had changed a lot.
I don't know what changed because she doesn't like me and I knew it was evident she doesn't so coming to me and trying to play being nice was weird.
And the company developed more lately, maybe because I was also working hand with her. Dad was thinking of making her the vice president since the space wasn't available for a long time but I felt that was what she wanted.
I didn't want to sound jealous or rude so I didn't argue with Dad, she'll be announced as the vice president today also.
The banquet was huge because everyone was curious to see me. It's been years and I didn't show up even when I was needed, that was because Dad was trying to protect me, he thought someone tried killing me 14 years ago but had no idea I saved someone instead.
He wouldn't listen to my explanation so I gave up explaining, I saw Henry at the side while Linda was in front of him.
She was more trying to get his attention but he wasn't giving her any, okay that's weird. I think he shouts at her because she left his front dejectedly walking back to her father.
Maybe they were not in a good relationship. Could it be there was more than I thought?
Henry saw me, and I could see the hurt in his eyes, even though he tried standing up to meet me I could tell he was controlling himself.
That must have been because of the incident at the airport. Linda traced his eyes and saw me, seeing he looked away already, she walked over to me. Here comes the bitch again.
"Hey, so what are you doing here?" She smiled, does she think I wouldn't see past her fake smile?
"Green tea bitch." I muttered in response and smiled. She widened her eyes in shock as I walked past her without giving her face.
"Hey, how dare you walk out on me. Is it because of your dress, you just hooked up with one of the old wealthy…" I interrupted her with a loud slap on her right cheek.
I've heard enough of the disrespect.
"I thought you knew better," I whispered into her ear, that should give her a clue. Everyone was staring at us.
Henry was surprised too but I glared at him looking away. He should have realized by now that I'm no longer the lady he left 6 years ago.
"For the most important reason we are here today, the announcement of the new president and vice president to the Wilson group ." Everyone cheered.
Due to the announcement, everyone's attention was focused on Dad now.
"Everyone, please welcome the new vice president to the Wilson group, the second daughter of the Wilson family, Alina Wilson." I let out a smile as she walked towards the stage in shock.
She probably wasn't expecting it. She must have thought she'd be the director as planned but maybe I had misunderstood her, she must have changed.
Everyone knew her as the adopted daughter of the Wilson family and I think that was why she was always being against everything, maybe that was why she was always jealous of me.
She must have thought I had everything being the original daughter but if only she knew I just wanted an ordinary lifestyle and that was why I stayed away from everything all this while.
Not because I wanted her to be my shadow and protect me, and it was because Dad didn't listen to my explanation and decided I was attacked and almost killed.
She looked at me after getting to the stage and I smiled giving her a positive look. She gave me a weird smug look but it was covered up with a smile.
"Everyone, please welcome the new president to the Wilson group, the eldest daughter of the Wilson family, Freya Wilson formally known as Freya Moore." The spotlight set on me as I walked to the stage.
I could see the shock on Henry and Linda's faces asI stood on the stage with everyone looking at me.
Freya's POVThe soft hum of classical music filled the grand ballroom, mingling with the clink of champagne glasses and the quiet murmur of California’s elite.Crystal chandeliers bathed the room in golden light, casting glimmers across tailored suits and elegant gowns. I stood just beyond the archway,my heart pounding in my chest. Tonight was the night I would be named president of my family’s company.The moment felt surreal.I adjusted my dress for what felt like the hundredth time, brushing invisible creases from my dress as I tried to calm the tension brewing inside me. People I had seen in Forbes articles and glossy business magazines were just steps away, waiting for me to walk in and claim my title. But beneath the pride was something darker,dread, anxiety, and something even more complicated when I thought of who might be in that room.Taking a deep breath, I stepped into the ballroom.The crowd quieted almost instantly. All eyes turned toward me as if I were the climax of a

Freya's POVNEXT MORNING.I stretched my hands yawning as I stood up, it was early morning and I realized I had woke up late. It must have been because I slept late.Going downstairs, I could see the maids running down and up trying to keep up with their schedules.I smiled with a little bit of joy. This was how it was in his mansion too. I shake off the thoughts quickly before I start thinking about him again.After finishing setting up the table, each maid dispersed while some were sent to call us all. After settling down, Dad decided to talk about it."Now that Freya is back, she'll be taking over the company in a few years, I decided she'll travel out of the company to start her own company if she was able to hit it straight up to the top 30s with her company then she's worth being the president to my company."I smiled, this was the early tradition known by everyone and what each member of my family should do but I wasn't allowed to participate because of the risk of exposing my
Freya's POV«WILSON's MANSION. 7:30 PM.»I slowly rang the doorbell even though it was very late at night, after a few more, the door was opened by a maid who looked shocked to see me.I held no belongings, I just came to my family mansion directly. "Miss." She called shocked ushering me in immediately as I entered."I'll talk to them tomorrow, you don't have to wake them up." She nodded her head before leaving as I went into my room and slept off.NEXT MORNINGI walked out of my room and yawned walking to the kitchen. The maids were all busy with one chore and another, as I entered the kitchen, the maid who helped me yesterday night was inside preparing food."Good morning miss." She said immediately she saw me, I smiled and offered to help her out. By the time we were done and setting the table, Dad and mom were already downstairs.They were shocked to see me and I was equally shocked too. It has been a year since we last saw because I wanted to keep my identity private in order for
Freya's POV«MOORE MANSION, Wednesday, 6 PM»I stepped out of the cab staring at the mansion in front of me before sighing. I was supposed to be happy I was back but for odd reasons, I'm not feeling a bit relieved coming back here.As I walked closer to the door, I could hear him talking to her. Their voice sounded so clear in my head and they were being very intimate with each other.I ignored it opened the door and went inside, just as I was about to walk upstairs, his voice stopped me."You are back." I scoffed at the sentence but didn't respond to him as I made a move to go my way but he said yet another word which made me stop to look back at him."What did you say?" I asked, I wasn't much surprised but I was angry. Angry at myself for being so foolish to have fallen in love with a guy like him."I prepared the divorce paper already, just for you to sign then we can go tomorrow to get our divorce certificate."I couldn't believe that word could ever come from him, yes I knew it w
