Chapter 70

Ambrose's POV

"Oh, my sweet loving Freya. If only you knew how much of your mother's life you have saved. I want you to be more specific, Freya. What do you want to do for your man?" I asked, whispering as I rested behind my car, giving her a full scrutiny.

"I already asked you. What do you want me to do for you? Cook for you, clean for you? I'll definitely not work my ass for you. I won't be your dog, just like Alexis and the rest of them," she spat, as I laughed.

I was surprised by her confidence. For a while, I felt she only became this proud due to Michael's connection with her. But then, she was no longer with Michael. She was more or less a hopeless person; how dare she speak with so much pride?

I still had a lot of things to do with Freya. I needed her to explore all of my plans.

"Do you really want me to beg you?"

"You have no right to threaten my mother's life, else I'll be forced to report you to the cops," her words made me laugh loudly. I had almost forgotten m

    Chapter 71Freya's POVMy hands shivered as I held onto Naomi's letter firmly. Tears kept falling from my lashes as I was about to open it when my mom's voice caught me off guard."You know, you don't have to force yourself to open it. When you feel it's the right time, you'll definitely see what's contained in it. My child, you need to give yourself a break. You've been in tears since the incident," my mother said, as I nodded slowly, my face fixed on hers as I wondered how I was going to live without her. Ambrose had threatened me with her life."What do you plan to do, my child?" my mother finally asked, as I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath."He's divorcing me already; there's nothing left for me to do, Mother. Michael hates me now," I whispered."Baby, you love him. I know I flared up, realizing the fact that you got into a fake marriage just to save me. But then, my child has found happiness in that man. I can't let you give up now," my mother said."Mother! It's not going t

    Chapter 72Ambrose's POV"How dare that old freak!" I fired, throwing my phone against the entrance wall as I heard Grandpa's words. Was he really serious about keeping Michael as the beneficiary; after everything I've done to make him unworthy?"Are you okay?" Freya asked, approaching me. I narrowed my gaze, looking deeply into her as I kept wondering what her stay would make me. I have to make use of this moment."Waylen is asleep. He needs to see his mother when he wakes up. I have something urgent to do," I said, taking a few steps as I turned back at her; "Don't you lurk around my home." I warned, walking swiftly without having a look at the broken phone...........It took a few minutes before I stopped at Jason's apartment. I laughed, a deep mocking smile, wondering why Michael would abandon his mansion and rest his head in a small duplex like this. He sure does have low taste."What do you want?" Jason's words came out, opening the gate, and I glared at him with a mixture of a

    Chapter 73Michael's POVI lost it all in me, hearing Ambrose's words that Freya had returned to him. My heart felt like it was being squeezed out of my chest. I couldn't imagine a world where Freya would give all of her commitment to Ambrose. I couldn't imagine a world where Freya would become Ambrose's ally. The past weeks without her had been so challenging that I'd always drive to her home secretly every night, just to make sure she was okay. But then, she was with Ambrose? I couldn't take in all of Ambrose's insults anymore."What did you say? Who's involved in whose accident?""Have you always been this greedy and self-centered? To think that you'd hurt your family this much?" I fired, my face probably whitened from the annoyance I was feeling at that moment. Ambrose began to laugh, a never-ending laugh that made my inner mind boil with anger and resentment. I'd never thought a day would come when I'd have to resent a member of the family to death."You killed her with your car.

If only Michael had given me an audience. But then, he even had to go as far as placing a strict order never to let me find a decent job. But then, I still needed to do everything possible right here in Ambrose's apartment.As I walked down the hallway, one of the cooks from his mansion approached me. "You've been lurking around the premises. Boss said you leave immediately you're done with your duties."I cursed her from within, feeling a surge of anger. "I'm... waiting for my son to...""He doesn't even recognize you as his mother. You should be ashamed of yourself as a mother. How dare you run back to the boss the moment Mr. Michael discarded you?" She asked rhetorically, her voice dripping with disdain.I snapped, my anger boiling over. "I don't think I owe you any explanation." I turned to walk away, but she grabbed my

My secret investigation to find out about Waylen's mysterious friend was still futile, as I wasn't given the freedom to move around in Ambrose's home.I had finished the day's duty, and I had received a message from Jason the previous day. I still had two hours to go before I could see him. Somehow, I felt a surge of excitement at the thought of seeing one of Michael's allies again.Just as I was about to stop a taxi, I was suddenly grabbed forcefully and dragged into a big black car. "Let go of me!" I fired, biting one of them on the arm, but they didn't even flinch."Please, I have a son!" I wept, trying to call their attention, but it fell on deaf ears. Fear was evident on my face as I realized the gravity of the situation."We're not going to hurt you. We're just following orders," one of

    Chapter 76Michael's POV"Boss, be nice to her." Jason's voice came out like a warning as he placed his right hand on my shoulder, tapping it gently. I closed my eyes for a second, unsure of how to respond. I didn't know what to say.I watched Jason exit my office, my back still against the door, my full concentration outside the window, watching the first snowfall of the year as it fell gently on the tarred road. The delicate flakes danced in the air, a serene sight that contrasted with the turmoil brewing inside me.Not long after, the sound of the door creaking open broke the silence. My heart suddenly began to rise, pounding in my chest like a drum. I didn't know I could still feel the beating of my heart after everything Freya had done to hurt me."Come in," I said in a baritone voice, my face still fixed outside the window. I acted like I didn't care, filled with charisma, but inside, I was dying of fear and shyness. I suddenly felt like a teenage boy who couldn't stand in front

I screamed, my legs stuck onto the vehicle; the only thing I could feel around me. "Now that you're alive, which isn't part of the plan, I'll make sure to use it well," was what I could hear amidst the darkness and blurry face of the person in front of me. But I knew he was dangerous, and I was so scared.Then, suddenly, a loud scream escaped my mouth as Ambrose hurriedly ran over to me, cuddling me tightly. "Hey, hey... you're safe now. Did you have another nightmare again?" he asked, his voice filled with concern, as I nodded my head continuously. I was so scared, my heart still racing from the nightmare.I was scared of everything around me, and the little room I was placed in felt suffocating. I couldn't bear the fact that everyone had abandoned me. Ambrose was the only one who cared for me. It shattered my heart into pieces, thinking that

    Chapter 78Freya's POVMy attention was fixed outside the window, which was packed with Ambrose's car. I began to wonder why he had decided to come over to my apartment. The last time I checked, I didn't think I had invited him."Freya, my beautiful Freya Rogers," he called from outside, a mocking tone evident in his voice. Right from when we dated, he never called me sweet names."I don't appreciate you coming over to my home and shouting my name. You could get arrested by the neighbors," I warned a few moments later as I walked slowly out. Now, we were meters apart as he smiled, a smile I had once begged for in the last three years. But now, it was meaningless to me. The whole of the Jenkins family was meaningless to me, and I didn't care about them anymore."I came to get you," he said, as I hissed, about to turn my back and leave, when I felt his hand holding onto my arm tightly. I tried to break free, giving him an angry look, but I was so pissed to watch him smiling like nothing

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. I wouldn't want my son having anything to do with the Jenkins or the Smiths," I said, my tone measured and cold.Mum wanted to speak but was cut short by the mortuary attendant who came out with some things I couldn't even relate to; it wasn't my fault, I'd never had any reason t

    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

    Chapter 138Freya's POV"Freya, don't. I'm going to have to tell it to Michael if you do." Raymond said to me in a hushed breath. But then, there were a whole lot of people's lives at stake. 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

    Chapter 135 Freya's POV"What did you say?" Raymond asked, his eyeballs suddenly widening as I took a deep breath with my eyes closed. "Wait, did you both..." 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

I'm here already, and there's no way I'm going to sit back and watch you all go without me," I said, my eyes locking onto Michael's, who didn't say a word but kept his focus on Raymond. "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
