Semua Bab Too Late To Love, I want Revenge Now!: Bab 81 - Bab 90

VictorI couldn’t take my eyes off Freya as she sat across from me. She looked even more beautiful than she had ever been. It’s evening already and her light makeup was still sitting perfectly on her pretty face, further enhanced by the restaurant’s warm lights. There was something about the way she carried herself, the way she’d put Sonia in her place earlier… it was magical. I’d always known she was special, but today, I’d seen a new side of her. Strong, unyielding, commanding. I was in awe. The bill arrived, and I handled it quickly, eager to step out into the fresh air. When we got outside, Freya paused, looking around at the softly lit scenery surrounding the restaurant. “I don’t feel like going home yet,” she said quietly, her gaze distant but calm. My heart skipped. I was so happy. I didn’t want the evening to end either. “The restaurant has a beautiful garden and some scenic spots,” I offered. “Why don’t we take a look around?” She smiled, a soft, grateful curve of her

StaceyI had barely ended the call with Freya when my phone buzzed again. I glanced at the screen and sighed. Victor. I didn’t even need to pick up to know why he was calling, but I answered anyway. “Hey, Victor,” I said, keeping my tone casual as I leaned back into the couch. “Stace…” His voice was low and hesitant, which was so unlike him that I immediately knew this was serious. “I think I screwed up.” He let out while I smirked a little to myself but kept my voice neutral. “What did you do this time?” I quizzed.There was a long pause, followed by a deep sigh. “I told Freya.” “Told her what?” I asked, even though I already knew where this was going. “About how I feel,” he admitted. His voice sounded tight, like he was bracing himself for me to scold him. “And?” I prompted, trying to keep the amusement out of my voice. “And I think I made a mistake,” he said quickly, his words tumbling over each other. “She’s going through so much right now… Sonia, Dennis, all the chaos

Freya I woke up feeling like my chest was weighed down by a hundred bricks. The room was silent, except for the faint hum of the heater in the bathroom, but my thoughts were anything but quiet. I couldn’t stop replaying the events of the past few hours. Victor professing his love… Stacey’s words… and my own conflicted emotions. Was I rushing into something again?That question haunted me as I stared at the ceiling. I had a pattern, and I hated that I couldn’t seem to break free from it. Dennis had been my rebound after my last heartbreak, and look where that got me. I didn’t even take time to heal then. I just jumped in headfirst, hoping love would fix me. In my defense, I actually didn’t want to jump into another relationship that fast… I had made up my mind not to even try anything called love again but that evil b*tch, Sonia. She made me believe Dennis was the man I was made for and just the right piece for my life to have meaning. Silly me… I fell for it…Dennis is out of the

SoniaI sat on the cold, hard bench in the holding cell, staring at the wall, my mind racing. My lawyer had just left, giving me what should have been good news… the judge had allowed bail. But instead of feeling relieved, I felt trapped. The bail amount was huge. Impossible.Freya was really working tirelessly to keep me in here. After her little nasty talk the other day, she must have been so pained that I showed her who she really was. I mean, it’s really not my fault if the men in your life don’t find you worthy of love and commitment. She must have been so pained to the bone, and then ran to the judge to pull this strings.I can’t give her that satisfaction… never!I clenched my fists. I had no money left.Everything I saved was with Dennis, and we both blew it, indulging in our secret trips, designer clothes, and wild nights, living like we had the world at our feet, and we could never get caught. Even if I had a little left, it wouldn’t be enough. And Dennis? He wouldn’t eve

SoniaThe moment I stepped back into the waiting area, all thoughts of Jeff’s humiliation burned away at the sight of Mia standing there, arms crossed, impatiently waiting for me. Finally, something was going my way. I was already thinking she wouldn’t come, but seeing her now, I knew my little drama yesterday worked. Her eyes flicked over me, studying my face. “You look like hell.” She exclaimed while I let out a short, humorless laugh. “You would too if you spent the morning getting insulted by a man who used to worship you.” I replied painfully while she curved her lips in a frown.“It’s Jeff, the whole drama with Freya affected our relationship, and he now wants nothing to do with me. I planned on playing my way back into his heart today.” I explained.She smirked. “So, it didn’t work?” My jaw tightened. “No. But that’s fine. I don’t need Jeff. I have a better plan. I’ll deal with him later. For now, we are taking care of the more pressing issues.” I let out.Mia’s smirk fa
