FREYA 19* *The way his eyes fell on the broken pieces of the bottle on the floor caused a bead of sweat to roll down my cheeks. My gaze met Marianna who appeared equally nervous, secretly pleading with her not to tell on me. She'd been kind to me in the past few days, and I wanted to believe that it was real. Nikolas's attention returned to mine, as though demanding an explanation. "I wanted some water, I didn't mean to break it. I'm s_sorry. I'll clean it right away." I stammered, quickly bending to my knees. I started to pick up the numerous shards of glass, my fingers were trembling so much that several pieces of glass slashed my fingers, causing them to bleed. I bit back the cry of pain that threatened to escape, my fingers were getting scraped but I didn't dare to stop. Suddenly, I was yanked to my feet, almost landing against his solid chest, and was forced to meet his eyes which were charged with anger. Oh god! He was going to strike me. I braced myself for pain

FREYA__20**"How could you?!" My lips twisted in disgust, and next my palm connected with his face. His expression morphed into surprise as though he had not expected it. He was an animal, after overhearing his conversation with Angelo, I still found it hard to believe that a human could be this vile. The devil was kinder compared to him. "Why did you do this to me?" I screamed. My fists continued to connect with whatever part of his body I could touch. They hurt so fucking bad and I hoped that he felt the same. "You knew I was innocent all this time, how could you? You refused to tell me even after finding out, you're a monster!" Angry tears streaked down my face, I was so enraged and all I could think about was how to kill him. He didn't try to stop me even when I continued to hit him, the fact that he was barely having any reaction made me madder than I've ever been in my life. "Freya, wait listen__" His palms cupped my face, but I spat up at him, forcing myself away from
Under His Mercy CHAPTER 21
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'
