Chapter 111Michael's POV "Jason, any news from Freya yet?" I asked as Jason shook his head slowly."Don't worry, man. She'll be okay," Jason assured. "Probably, she went to get a lot of evidence. She'll never betray you like Emma had done," Jason reminded me as I gritted my teeth and tightened my fist. I would never have believed that Emma would actually betray me to the point of testifying against me. It was something I didn't want to think about."There's something I want to ask you, Michael," Jason said as I made no facial reaction."What about it?" I asked curtly."You didn't mention the fact that Bella's remains weren't the one underneath the grave. I mean, shouldn't that have lessened the charges?" Jason asked as I smiled."Jason, I might be implicating myself if I had done that," I replied."Implicate? How do you mean?" he asked surprisingly, his eyes suddenly bulging out."There are certain steps which may be considered as the right thing, but they might just be a bait. You

Chapter 112Raymond's POVFew hours earlier"Hey, what have you got in there? Do you really know the penthouse like you said?" I asked, trying my best to make my voice as low as I could. "Yeah, of course I do. But then, I don't want to act like I do. Remember I've been stupid to Alexis and Ambrose. Right now, they all think I'm a fool because of the drink," Freya said as I nodded, moving closer to her."Hey, do you still recognize the color of the drink and everything?" "Of course," she said, glancing at the open windows. "The sun will set soon. What on Earth have you got in there to cut these loose ropes?" She asked as I shook my head. She took a deep breath, trying to cut the rope from a sharp corner, but that might not be a good idea."Hey, I think your hairpin should do," I said as she looked at me like she had doubted my words. "Are you crazy? This isn't a movie, Raymond. This is reality. How do you expect a freaking hairpin to cut a strong, durable, synthetic material like th

Chapter 113Freya's POVI kept holding the cellphone tightly as I felt my limbs almost breaking from running so fast. The penthouse, which looked familiar to me, suddenly felt like a different place as I didn't know what direction to take. Right now, Ambrose and his men would probably be searching for me to get the phone; for now, I needed to hide instead of running helplessly.But then, I needed to call Jason. At moment, Jason might be the only one who could help me. "Oh, no, no," I cried, realizing that I had run out of battery. "Fuck this," I wept, still trying everything in me to run as fast as I could. I began to wonder what might have happened to Raymond. But then, I had to get to safety in order to save him.The sound of gunshot was heard again as I began to shiver. I fell, not realizing something was blocking my path, but then, I got up immediately. I wondered why no one was walking along the road, and somehow, everything looked like it had been staged.********Michael's POV

Chapter 114Ambrose POVThe wine glass shattered against the wall as I paced around my secret room. "Bring him to me now," I growled, ending the call as I began to think of various punishments I'd give to Raymond. How dare he disrupt my plans? There was no way I'd let Freya get to Michael successfully. No one would ever suspect where I'd hidden her old phone, no one.It was past ten when I realized they were present. My eyes were filled with anger as Alexis and I locked eyes. "How dare you? Emma would have done better than you. I gave you a simple task, and all you needed to do was to take them to the penthouse as safely as you could. You dare fall for Raymond's trick?" I asked as she began to shiver in fear."You still think of him even after everything he's done? He's a traitor, and you dare make irrational moves?" I asked, my voice echoing through the four corners of the grand room. She didn't say a word; all she did was make quiet crying sounds, which only grated on my nerves more

Chapter 115Freya's POV I didn't think I'd ever slept so well in weeks. I could barely sleep at our new home, where we had secretly moved to. Besides, Mom had confirmed that Grandpa had offered her VIP treatment. I glanced at my phone; it was past eight, and there had been no calls from Michael."Hey, you're okay? Seems like you've just seen a ghost," I froze as I turned around to see Jason bringing in a glass of warm milk. "I'm not hungry; you can take it back," I said, my expression stern, as he took a deep breath. "I still need to follow the boss's order," he said, as I frowned my face. "I don't care about the boss's order," I snapped, almost going back into my room, as Jason swiftly made a move that stopped me from walking away."Freya, I know it's hard for you, and I know how angry you are. But the boss risked his life and everything last night," he said, as I bit my lips, acting like it didn't mean anything to me. "Michael has been restricted and placed under house arrest unti

Chapter 116Freya's POVIt's been three days after reading Naomi's letter. It broke me into pieces that Emma had used us the way she wanted. And now, it was finally time to use her just like she had done. I made sure no one was following and no one would even detect that I was the one. The warm breeze greeted me as I got down from the cab. Funny how a billionaire's wife never got addicted to driving any of the exotic cars in the mansion."Thank you," I said, paying the cab man, who kept giving me unusual looks till I was out of sight. I looked into the letter as I kept following the address to find my right way. I stopped in front of an orphanage home; I wondered why she had sought refuge here."Ma'am, would you like me to give you a hand?" One of the children who were playing soccer suddenly ran towards me as I revealed a smile. I had disguised myself as an old woman, which probably felt so awkward to me. "Hey, my child," I said, moving closer to the young boy as he stared at me so

Chapter 117Bella's POV"Ahhhhh!" I woke up with a loud scream as I began to shake. I didn't know why, but I had never had this dream for a while now. I glanced at the cinnamon drink as I began to breathe profusely.[Michel killed you! He stabbed you and he killed you] I kept hearing the numerous voices which were ringing in my head. I rolled up my shirt to see the large scar that lay above my upper abdomen."Hey, are you okay?" The door to my room suddenly opened as I shivered from the shock. "Mrs. Cooke, I'm so scared," I whispered as she glanced at the cinnamon drink that was placed on the table, giving me a wild look."That's why your nightmare hasn't ceased. You shouldn't skip these," she said, trying to reach out her hand to hand the drink to me, but I messed it up. I had thrown the cup angrily from her as I felt the noises in my head kept sounding louder. The truth was, I had stopped taking the cinnamon drink for a long time now, except when I was being watched."I don't want t

Chapter 118Michael's POV"So, what else have you found out about? How's everything in the office?" I asked Jason as he moved closer to me like he was trying to speak to me discreetly, even when there were only both of us present."The office right now is not in perfect shape. You're losing a lot of investors, and as we speak, Ambrose is on the verge of claiming Smith Tech," Jason said as I closed my eyes for a while."And Grandpa, what is he doing? Did he still trust Ambrose so much after everything that's happening?" "Don't think about stuff like that right now. But then, about your marriage with Freya, I..." "Enough, don't say anything about her." I snapped as Jason's face fell."You have to keep up with the marriage for the meantime. I know tomorrow's the day the contract ends. Yeah, like a dream, but it's freaking six months. But you can't afford to dissolve the marriage amidst the crisis we are right now.""I don't...wanna put Freya in my mess.

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

Chapter 137Ambrose's POV"You animal!" she fired as she struggled with my hand holding her tightly."Everyone's waiting... just say the damn yes!" 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
The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again Danger zone
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
The contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again So it was him
Chapter 134Freya's POVI began to shake as we drove down a lonely bush path. Raymond held my hands in assurance, but it felt like that wasn't enough. I wanted more than just that... 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 contract marriage: falling for a billionaire again The second woman
Chapter 133Michael's POVI couldn't stop myself from banging the laptop that was placed in front of me aggressively on the office desk, not caring about anything. 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

Chapter 132 The weight of my words Freya's POV "Yeah, that won't be necessary. 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

Chapter 131Freya's POV"Raymond," I called, my voice shaking as I staggered on my feet before I felt his hand holding me from falling. "Ambrose is a psychopath. We need to chase him...we need to go over to Grandpa and...""Freya, I'll do everything I can to make sure your mother and son are safe. Trust me on this," he assured as I paced around restlessly before going to check my phone, which lay motionless on the floor. "Oh, thank God. It isn't broken," I whispered, trying to call the same number as Raymond watched me with anger in his eyes. "Damn!! The number isn't going through.""We have to take this to Jason; he should find a way to track his location," he said as I paused for a while. "Will you be fine? I mean, some publication was made to show that...some..." I stammered on my words, not knowing how he was going to take it. "That I once worked with Ambrose," he said, nodding his head slowly. "It's just that...I don't want you out there for me, Raymond.""They're right. The med

Chapter 130Michael's POVI walked into my office for the first time in a while, smiling as I took a deep breath of the familiar air that greeted me. I wasted no time watering my very own plant that was placed beside my chair. Here I was, complete, as I closed my eyes for a while before retiring to the chair."Boss," Jason called as soon as he placed a knock on the door, and my expression turned sour. The word 'boss' was very foreign, hearing it from a friend I took more than a brother."Where is he? Have you found him?" I asked, my palm on my face as I took a deep breath."Have you reported the message he sent to you to the cops? I've tried tracking down the message, but somehow, I can't get any signal," he said as I stood, narrowing my eyes as I kept staring outside the window, like I could get a hint from there."And Raymond? Have you found him?""Since your release, we don't know where he is either. Somehow, dude hasn't forgiven himself about everything that had happened. He think
