Chapter 39

Freya's POV

I couldn't hold back my emotions anymore. Michael couldn't face this alone, and it was time I did something for him. We needed to uncover Ambrose's weakness; he had gone too far this time. But Michael had just asked me to leave, and then....

"What did you just say, Freya Rogers?" Michael asked, his voice filled with surprise and a hint of impatience. I felt a flush rise to my cheeks, embarrassed by my impulsive confession.

"And what exactly do you know about love?" Michael snapped, his eyes flashing with pain and anger. "Just because we're playing a game doesn't mean we're in love. You don't know anything... nothing." His words cut deep, but I stood my groun, not faltering.

"You're wrong," I said, my voice coming out quietly. "I may not have had a beautiful love story, but one thing I know about love is that you'll always be there for each other, sharing each other's pain." Michael shook his head, like he wasn't agreeing with my words.

"That's not love," he sai

    Chapter 40 Freya's POVI stared deeply into Jason's message, and a part of me felt relieved that he was still with us. Probably, he had a reason for his actions. But from now on, I wouldn't take anything lightly.Without changing my clothes, I decided to head to the office. There were things I needed to do, especially since Micahel had been feeling down. Not long after, I arrived at the office and saw Ruby, whose face was filled with surprise and shock."Mrs. Smith, you shouldn't have stressed yourself," she said, revealing a forced smile. I reciprocated the smile, trying to appear calm. She shouldn't know what I was up to. That I'd find out she was the spy."Yeah, something came up. I need to rectify things and do what I can," I spoke, and she nodded, preparing to leave. But then she paused."Mrs. Smith," she called, and I paused, wondering why she had called my attention."How's the boss doing? I mean, after everything Jason did. I never liked that Jason," she said, and my eyes nar

    Chapter 41Michael's POVI couldn't even face Freya. Why had she added to my restlessness? Of all days, why would she confess her feelings to me? She never meant the words. She only said it so she could stay a while with me.I finally got out of my room after a few hours of drowning in heartbreak. I waited patiently, hoping Jason's call would come in and tell me everything that had happened earlier was just a prank. But then, it seemed I hadn't laid eyes on Freya since she confessed her feelings. I wondered where she had gone to. I hoped she didn't take my words seriously and had left my mansion.The truth was, I didn't know how I'd feel when Freya leaves. "Mrs. Cooke," I called, watching her chop vegetables as I stood, staring everywhere like I was searching for something."Michael," she replied. I'd always scolded her whenever she tried to do the 'boss' thing with me."Do you need anything?" she added, taking her hands off the vegetables as she approached me."No, no, I'm okay. I me

I couldn't help but laugh as I remembered how she had confidently insulted my pride at the café."Just a video, and Micahel didn't hesitate to send you packing. Oh, Freya, how bad it is for a billionaire's wife to end up this way," I muttered, watching with joy and anticipating Alexis' next move. Alexis was an expert in fields like this.I began to see Freya's picture as headline news, and I knew my plans were working out well. With Freya out of the picture, I had Micahel all to myself again."I need to go see him and prove to him that I'm the only one who truly loves him," I said, giving myself a thorough look as I added more powder to my face and touched my lips with red lipstick.I stood up, adjusted my little orange gown, and catwalked towards Micahel's mansion. I finally reached the door after a few attempts by Mrs. Cooke to stop me."Please, Mrs. Cooke, I need to

It was perplexing, as there was no way he could have seen anything unusual in there. His claim of having a friend now made me uneasy. I had carefully crafted my plans, ensuring no one would get in my way. Now that Grandpa had lost interest in giving Michael the inheritance, Freya would likely return to me. However, I felt it was time to renegotiate with Jason; I needed him on my side. ........... .......... "What do you want? Why do you suddenly come to see me? It's been four days. You can't change my mind," Jason asked, his eyes beaming with annoyance as I spat, watching him venomously. How could someone be so loyal? At a point, I realized I had no genuine ally behind me. Raymond was only loyal because I had promised him a huge share of the inheritance. Alexis was paid for every piece of information and operation she carried out for me. Emma was with

    Chapter 44Freya's POVIt's been four days since the video got leaked, but the pain I felt was unmatched; nothing could be compared to it. I lost everything because of Emma. I folded my fists tightly, ensuring the knife I had kept behind my jeans was perfectly in place."Freya! Put away the knife now!" My mom screamed in fear, but I didn't flinch."I'll kill her," I said, my face devoid of emotion, as I gently placed my hand on the back pocket of my jeans.My mom moved closer towards me, "He'll come back for you," she whispered reassuringly, as I gave her a confused gaze. Hadn't she always wanted a day like this to come? From the onset, my mom had always hated the fact that Michael and I were together. She had seen me as an opportunist. Why, then, did she pray for his return?Michael had turned his back against me the moment my picture got leaked."He's such a fool," I said, weeping, as I closed my eyes tightly. He was such a fool not to have realized that I wasn't the woman in the v

    Chapter 45Freya's pov"What?" I asked, my whole body wrapped around Michael's warm, comforting embrace. His familiar scent filled my senses, and I felt a flutter in my chest. I couldn't imagine that he actually said sorry to me. Did he realize I wasn't the woman in the video? Also, I'd like to ask him why he overreacted. Could my mom be right about Michael probably having feelings for me? But it wasn't possible; Michael still loved Emma. I shouldn't get my hopes too high because he actually hugged me so passionately tonight."I'm not the kind of man who says sorry. You should be lucky, Freya. You never got a rare opportunity like this," he said, his deep voice rumbling through his chest. I nodded, my expression bare, not revealing any smile.Now that Michael and I were cool, and the world knew about our separation, I wondered what would probably happen afterwards."Where are your belongings?" he asked, finally releasing me from the warm embrace. I straightened my clothes, not saying

    Chapter 46 Freya's POV The distance between Michael and me was so small as Ambrose kept revealing a deceptive smile. I mean, I didn't imagine he'd actually act like everything was okay after everything he'd done to Michael. "Wait! Michael, I thought your wife cheated on you?" Ambrose's questions made me want to send a slap across his face, but I didn't. I kept my cool, my eyes fixed on his expression. "Why is she still standing here? I thought you sent her out!" He asked, his voice dripping with malice, as I closed my eyes, trying to compose myself. Ambrose was playing games with us. But then, all of his plans would crumble soon. I could feel the anticipation building up inside me. "I don't think I have any reasons or I'm obligated in any way whatsoever to reply to you. I came here for two important things, which I'll like you to give me as soon as possible," Michael cut in, his boldness one of the traits I loved about him. The fact that he was the only one who could make the

But then, I never expected the truth to come out so soon. "Oh, Ruby. Here you are. So tell me, what have you found out about Michael's cunning move?" Ambrose asked, his words purposely putting it in a way to hurt my feelings, but it wasn't new. But then, to think Ambrose no longer hid his true intentions and self was what bothered me. I had kept my silence for a month, not because I was stupid, as I couldn't stop myself from strategizing. But now, I was determined to fight for what I have. "Sir?" Ruby asked in fear, it was obvious she was so uncomfortable and uneasy. For a while, I wanted to think that she was probably threatened, just like Jason. But then, that was going to be a blatant lie. Up until this moment, Ruby had always been happy, having no guilt even while she stabbed me from behind. I momentarily shifted my tho

It felt like he was trying to say a word to me when I saw his hand suddenly sliding from my face. "Raymond," I wept slowly, never knowing that I would one day cry for a person like him."My child..." I heard my mom's tender voice as I looked beside her, not finding anyone. "Where's Waylen?" I panicked, my eyes scanning around her and even to the person behind her. "He just fell asleep. He's been taken to his grandpa's home and..." "Mother... we are all leaving as soon as Raymond's funeral arrangement has been made.

    Chapter 139Michael's POVEven as I felt the pain from the shot on my feet, it wasn't comparable to how I felt when Ambrose had taken possession of Freya. A lot of questions kept popping up in my head as I couldn't stop wondering why Freya had held her stomach. But then, my priority was to save her and everyone who had come along with me.When the gate exploded and the cops went in, I knew this would be the greatest opportunity to seize everything Ambrose had held. This was us winning, this was us leaving him to his miserable fate. But then, it wasn't the case here after the gunshot."Nooooo!!!" Freya screamed as a part of me went down immediately. The other person who had assisted me in standing had been shot and was lying in a pool of blood."Drop the gun now or I'll shoot!" Ambrose still threatened, pointing the gun towards one of the cops who didn't slack in his work. As he shot Ambrose's gun, it fell, falling from his hand. But then, I was just too scared to look back at the pers

And besides, the cops were never present in times like these."What on Earth do you know? Tell it to me," Michael asked fiercely, looking at Raymond's direction, whose gaze was fixed on me."Call the priest, everyone here is ready for a ceremony," Ambrose said as he moved closer to Michael, whose face was bruised, and his looks were sending fire. He said something I couldn't quite hear, and not long, I was taken away into the inner room for a quick makeup.It took less than ten minutes, and I was accompanied out by the man who had dolled me up. My mom's face was drowned with tears, and my heart was broken; but that was the only thing I could do at the moment."Wow! Look whose wife is here?" Ambrose teased as he moved towards my direction. I couldn't raise my face nor look towards Michael's directi

My voice echoed as I dragged her towards the direction of a man who was seated quietly, holding a Bible and a cross."Reverend, bless our marriage... she said yes," I said, my voice coming out unsteadily as Freya battled with me to let her go."Let her go, Ambrose. That's enough."I turned around to see Raymond, barely on his feet with his eyes glued to mine."You, I thought my boys shut you up already?" I asked, moving closer to him as I released my grip on Freya."Surrender, Ambrose. The cops will be here and there's no way to avoid this anymore... you have to let go, Ambrose."I laughed loudly, giving him a long stare as I dragged his cheek with my left hand."You're being too nosy. This isn't your fight. Don't you dare act like you're better than I am.""Your son's watching, please..." he begged as I suddenly looked in the direction of

    Chapter 136Raymond's POVThe weight of Freya's words kept taking my attention away. I closed my eyes for a while, thinking deeply about whether letting her go alone was the right thing to do. Somehow, I wondered if Jason was right about it all. I rolled my eyes, bringing myself back from the trance."You'll have a whole lot to explain to Michael. He just told me to keep Freya with me, that he was going to settle things with the officers," Jason said, his voice seeming to disrupt the awful silence that grew between us."Are you serious about what you said the other time?" I asked softly as he tried to play dumb. "Come on, Jason, you know what I'm talking about. Did Michael really come visit Freya alone and... the presents?" He nodded his head gently as I took a deep sigh."I mean... Freya had rejected the whole present, thinking it was from her mysterious husband. She even got into a fight with her mom... oh God," I said in deep regret. "But then... Michael only wanted to see her face

He paused as I felt so shy about giving him a response. He turned around, trying to go back to Jason, as I grabbed his hand firmly, preventing him from moving."What the hell are you doing?" I asked, my voice shaking. "Of course, we need to tell it to Jason. I can't keep this from him.""What do you mean? Michael's getting married, and I really don't want this baby to... come into his marriage," I said, and somehow, I could see the resignation in his expression."You could hurt the baby, you know?" He whispered as I shook my head, trying to be strong. "I'll be fine. Just go be with Jason and wait," I said as he nodded. "Be careful," he warned before leaving as I wiped away the little tears that had plastered on my face.A few moments later, I found myself in front of a beautiful yet small house. I doubted this was where Ambros

I needed Michael's warm embrace, I needed to feel his warm breath on me whispering to me that everything would be okay."Jason," I called as he replied with his eyes still fixed on the road as he drove with his cellphone mounted in front, which guided him with the direction. "Is... is... Michael coming already?" I asked, my voice so low, but I didn't think I needed to appear like I was fine without him. "Yes, Freya... Michael's coming." I nodded as I fixed my eyes on the wristwatch again as a private number appeared again as the caller ID. I picked it up immediately, fully aware that it was Ambrose."Hey... do you really not care about your mother? How aged she is that she can't even withstand the cold on her?" he mocked as he laughed loudly while my hand shook while holding the cellphone, but I tried

The thought of seeing Freya so comfortable without me by her side, her sudden closeness with Raymond, and how she didn't even realize that I had stopped her from going out there because I still cared for her. "You're so stupid, so stupid," I muttered, closing my eyes to take a deep breath when Grandpa's call came into my phone. "Grandpa," I finally said after the third ring, as I heard him clear his throat from the receiver end. I wondered why he had called; it was always about the damn marriage."Haven't you seen the news? Where did Ambrose take the little boy and his grandmother to?" he asked, and I detected panic in his voice. "You should hurry over and do something quick," he said, as I let out a low chuckle. How on Earth did he get to know about it? "Grandpa, why do you suddenly care about the Rogers?" I asked, and

"Raymond, we need to get to Grandpa," I said, almost going closer, as Michael stepped in between. His towering height once more intimidated me as he gave me a long, piercing gaze. "I will not let you go on that road in search of them; I won't ever allow that," Michael said authoritatively, as I couldn't stop myself from laughing. "What on earth does he take me for right now?" I thought. I refused to be stupid, not to him nor Ambrose. "Dare me if you can, Mr. Michael Smith Jenkins," I said in gritted teeth as I moved closer to him, like I was daring him for a challenge. "May I have a moment with her, please?" he said softly, as the two nodded about leaving while I moved closer to Raymond, still locking eyes with him. "We
