CHAPTER 059A STEAMY NIGHT, REGRETS OR LUST OR WHATEVER SHE FELT.POV(FREYA)I pulled the covers up to Eliza’s chin, brushing a strand of her hair away. She looked peaceful now, like she hadn’t spent the entire night unraveling in my arms.I turned to leave, tiptoeing out as quietly as I could.But just as my fingers touched the doorknob, I felt it, her hand curling tightly around my wrist.I froze.“Freya,” she murmured. “Don’t go.”I turned slowly, heart skipping. Her eyes were open now. Wide and glossy.“Eliza, it’s late. I was just...”She sat up, never releasing my wrist. “You flinched.”“What?” I tried to smile.“You were scared,” she whispered, blinking at me. “Am I… scary to you?”I didn’t answer right away. Something about her voice, the smallness of it, made my throat close. Her fingers loosened slightly, waiting.So I lied. “I’m just tired,” I said softly. “That’s all.”She didn’t believe me. I could tell.But she didn’t push.“Would you… sleep here?” she asked next. Her vo

FREYA'S POVThe world came back to me slowly, like dragging consciousness through heavy mud. My body felt like it had sunk through the earth, but the warmth pressed against my side brought me back.“Freya... Freya, you’re awake,” a familiar voice murmured, barely holding it together.I blinked, trying to focus through the blur, and found Alan leaning over me, his eyes puffy, jaw tight. The sleeves of his shirt were rolled up, and his hands were trembling where they clutched mine.“You scared me,” he whispered, pulling me into a shaky embrace.But the only thing I could say was, “Where is she?”Alan didn’t answer immediately. He looked over his shoulder, and when I followed his gaze, I saw Lucien standing a little too still near the window. His arms were crossed. There was something in his expression that felt calculated, but muted.Lucien gave me a small, tight-lipped smile. “She only fell from the second floor. There was a lower ledge. She’s... fine.”The second floor. Safe enough to

Chapter 063I'm pregnant, Alan no!POV (FREYA)I knew me throwing up every morning wasn't something I needed to ignore, the sudden dizziness and strange feeling I've never felt my whole life."Sounds like pregnancy symptoms to me, why not give a test a try?" One of the maids had said to me a few hours ago.Ridiculous but I still couldn't ignore it, she snuck in 10 test tubes for me and I wasn't actually grateful because this was obviously a stupid idea but I had nothing to lose either ways.I don't know what it was that I expected but it surely wasn't the two pink lines that stared back at me like ghosts.For the first thirty seconds, I stared at the two pink lines like they owed me rent.I blinked. Once. Twice. Nope. Still there.“What kind of evil defective stick is this?”I shook the pregnancy test like it might blink first. Maybe it was heat-sensitive. Or cursed. Maybe Eliza bought a prank one just to mess with me.I was barren. I was. That was the whole narrative of my life. That

CHAPTER 065WAKE UP PLEASE POV(FREYA)My hands won’t stop shaking.The smell of his blood clings to my fingers like guilt I can’t wash off. I try to breathe, but it gets caught somewhere between a sob and a scream. I’m soaked in him—his blood, his scent, his silence."Freya, please," Eliza says softly, but there's panic behind her voice. "Come, let me help you clean up."I shake my head violently. "No. Not until I know he's okay."Lucien is pacing like a storm, his phone glued to his ear, Russian words pouring out like gunfire. I don’t know what he’s saying, but the tension in his shoulders is loud enough.Eliza crouches in front of me. Her hair is a mess. Her eyes dart between my face and my hands. "Freya, you’re going into shock. You need to breathe.""I was going to tell him," I whisper. My voice cracks. "I was going to tell him tonight."She pauses, lips parting slightly. "Tell him what?"But I don’t answer. My chest heaves as I bite back a sob. I clutch my stomach without even t

Chapter 067Our bitter ending? Alan look at me!POV FREYAMy phone rang, loud enough to wake me up. Eliza was gone, it was just me laying on the hallway bench.I stared at my phone screen and it was almost morning.I made my way towards his room and the medical staffs surrounded his bed.My heart raced as I pushed the door open and ran inside.Lucien stood by the window looking outside and Eliza wasn't doing anything meaningful either, fiddling with her hair and I knew something was up."What's going on doctor?" I asked and then I noticed him, Alan.He stared into blank space like a child and he didn't glance at me, not after hearing my voice. Not even once."I have bad news for you miss Freya." My heart skipped when the doctor said this and I didn't need anymore bad news, not now when everything is going wrong."The patient you're looking at is no longer the man you once knew." "What do you mean Doc?" My voice faltered and I knew I was on the verge of loosing my mind, it wasn't easy
