FREYA__21**I didn't see Nikolas until the next day. The atmosphere seemed to drop by a certain degree the moment he walked inside. I refused to look away from the book I was reading, not even when he stood in front of the bed. "Freya." My name was called quietly. I didn't respond to it, still pissed about being locked up for the whole of yesterday. How dare he come here now? I wasn't interested to hear anything if it wasn't about letting me go. "You had enough time to think about it, you should understand why I need you to stay with me."Was he insane? I didn't understand anything! Yes, I had enough time to think, but it was about the million ways I could grant him a horrible death. "Freya. Look at me!" He hissed and suddenly, the book was ripped from my hand and tossed towards the door.I folded my arms to glare at him, he finally earned my attention. "You need to answer me when I fucking speak to you!" He said through gritted teeth, his icy blue eyes filled with irritation

FREYA___01 •• "Freya, To table three!" My boss yelled out my name.I stepped into the kitchen area, I just changed from my work outfit to casual ones, did he not realize my shift was over? "Um, actually I already changed__" I started but he cut me off, his eyes filled with anxiousness. "These people are very__ uh important guests, You're the only one I can think of sending to attend to them. I stared at him in confusion. "What do you mean?"Our restaurant was the biggest five-star in town, we were used to attending to even the biggest stars and celebrities across the country and beyond, and never for once had Mr. Helder looked as nervous as he did now. "I can't begin to explain, they are waiting! Don't worry, it will be added to your bonus!" He urged me out of the kitchen. I grabbed my notebook and pen along the way. The first thing I noticed was that the other tables were empty, where did everyone go? Two men were standing at the entrance of the restaurant, they both were

FREYA___02•• It hurt so much. Every small movement I made only intensified the pain. My head was being rhythmically pounded by a wicked hammer and I was helpless to stop it. A low groan escaped my mouth, my eyes flickering open to reality. I was not familiar with my surroundings, how did I get here?I tried to sit up from the bed only to cry out at the sharp pain that sizzled through my head like continuous bolts of lightning. What in the world happened to me? I heard the sound of a door being pushed open followed by a feminine voice. "Oh my god dear, you are awake!" The middle-aged woman approached me my eyes flickered with recognition. "Ethan brought you here last night, Young people these days are so reckless! How did the both of you drink so much?" She scowled. "You both had jammed against a pole, you are both lucky to sustain only minor injuries, you could have easily lost your lives, my house was the closest place my son could bring you to!" My brain was still f

FREYA___03* * Even as several weeks slowly went by, the mysterious incident continued to linger in my mind, I was going crazy thinking about it. Who cleared the evidence of the accident? And why? How could the police even not know about it? They had their CCTV across almost every street. The more I thought about it, the more complicated the whole issue was. "And that's all for today! You have until next week to submit your projects!" The professor's voice broke into my thoughts. I gathered my books and other of my writing materials, too absent-minded to exchange any pleasantries with my coursemates. I walked out of the lecture hall, to the park across where Darla and I had both agreed to meet. Her car was there, but when I looked around, she was nowhere in sight. I spotted a black BMW on the opposite side of the road the strange feeling I'd been getting for these past few days returned. Goosebumps crept to my neck as I turned around in vain to find the secret eyes wat

FREYA___04 * * I became slowly aware of the feeling of nausea, my mouth felt flaky, and I felt like my tongue had swollen twice its size.Wait__Why was it so dark? I felt a slight pressure around my eyes and realized that I was blindfolded. My heart jerked with panic as memories flooded my head. The man in our apartment! I have been kidnapped! I tried to move to discover that my hands and legs were tied. I couldn't move an inch. I was lying on something soft and comfortable, most likely a bed. Tears of panic and helplessness burned in my eyes as I tried to figure out what was going on. Ethan had tried to warn me! Why didn't I answer his call earlier? Who were these people? Did they kidnap him as well? My body trembled as I thought of every possible thing that could happen to me. Would they kill me? Rape me? I didn't want to die, not just yet. I was too young, I'd barely started to live my life! My tears soaked the blindfold as I struggled against the binds to no av

NIKOLAS__05* *Anger, pain, resentment, grief, and other millions of hurtful emotions ever known seared through his heart like the hot sharp curve of a blade. His wife was dead. So was their child. Nikolas looked around as he inhaled deeply, puffing out the smoke of the cigarette dangling between his fingers. He was familiar with pain, but for the first time, he didn't know how to deal with it. The cigarette and alcohol could only provide relief for a short period and after that, all that would be left was emptiness. Nikolas couldn't help but blame himself, he should never have made that trip that night, he should have insisted Valentina went along with him, would she have been alive now? She had been so excited about the baby, wanting to give him the family he had always wanted. Just a day before her wrongful death, they had designed their son's nursery and did some little shopping for the baby. He should have known that their little joy wouldn't last. Happiness just wasn'

FREYA__06 * *My body froze, I was unable to even draw in a breath. There was so much blood, it looked unreal. If I hadn't known Ethan so well, I might not have been able to recognize him. His dull gaze reflected only one emotion. Hopelessness. As though he thought it was already over for him and he had accepted that fact already. He was half naked, there was not a spot on his body that was not covered with bruises. A deep gash on his forehead where he continued to bleed profusely. His jaw was swollen, as though he had been punched too many times. Even his nose was abnormally angled, the blood there told me that it was broken as well. "No, let her go! She h__had nothing to do with what happened!" He muttered. If anything the hands gripping my shoulders became even tighter. "I said to leave her! I was the one driving! I killed your wife! She d__doesn't come in any part of this!" He choked, coughing vomit mixed with blood. "Stop it__" I wanted to scream but my voice was s

FREYA 07 * *I didn't know how I managed to fall asleep after eating. Even more shocking was when my eyes fluttered open to the bright sunlight that reflected through the window. I was a fool! Sleeping so care-freely when I should have in fact already come up with an escape plan. I wished I could slap myself for being such a dummy who would die due to my own stupidity. My brain started to think about several escape plans, first, I had to at least find out where I was, secondly, I had to find out exactly how huge this house was. How many people were present, he had to have several armed bodyguards at least. The sound of the door clicking had me flinching to a sitting position. It wasn't my captor that appeared. A blonde-haired woman dressed in a lab coat, she was carrying a box in one of her hands. "I'm Doctor Chelsea, I want you to lie down on the bed, I need to carry out a few tests." I could only gape at her. "W_what tests? And w_why?" The question slipped from my mo
