Chapter 069Cry Freya. you've been strong for too long."FREYA'S POV I have never seen a dead man.I have never seen the ashes of a dead man.I've never lost someone till death.I've never felt dead while alive.I felt everything all in one all thanks to one man.My eyes were pale and ghostly as I caught a glimpse of my self through the car mirror.We were silent through the ride and arriving at the burial corner was the peak of my strong self.The coffin and the jar of ashes were confusing until I heard the priest speak."His bones will be buried according to customs and his remaining ashes will be handed to his wife or child but since he doesn't have any, it will be handed to any present family member."I felt too weak to move a muscle watching his picture frame keenly with his paused smile that seemed to rile more memories into my head.I could almost feel my heart drop the moment they lifted his coffin.I wanted to believe it wasn't Alan inside that wooden box, that maybe it was

CHAPTER 071 POV FREYA 5 years later I know what falling in love feels like and I know what falling out of it causes. I glanced at our wedding frame while ironing Bibi's clothes and a sigh escaped my lips. I hated the fact that he was away from home and I pretended to be alright with it. Bibi was sleeping upstairs and I didn't want her worried. It's the tenth time I called his phone and he wasn't answering. I turned of the iron and was about to sit down when my phone rang, stupid to have assumed it was Kaiden but it wasn't. It was a flash call for a courier and there was a knock at the door. I rushed to open the door but I froze when I saw who it was. Elizaveta. My mouth opened but nothing came out, I could almost swear it was a dream or that it was someone else. She looked so different with her hair now cut short, she gained a little weight but it was in a good way. It enhanced her curves and she looked more busty than I remembered. She had less makeup on and

Chapter 073POV FREYA “Alan?”He hung up.The silence that followed was sharp. It pressed against my chest until I realized I was still clutching the phone too tightly. My fingers trembled. I wanted to tell myself it was a prank or some twisted coincidence, but that voice... that voice was his.And he’d been gone for five years.By the time I walked out of the restroom, I’d wiped my face twice and convinced myself I imagined it. Maybe I was tired. Maybe the memories were finally catching up.The rest of the meeting with Mr. Ralph was a blur. He kept talking about Bibi’s drawings and new reading group, but all I heard was that one word replaying in my mind. The way he said my name, the way Alan used to say it. Soft, like a prayer and a warning all at once.---The next day, I called someone I hadn’t spoken to in a long time.“Freya?” her voice was still warm, steady, grounding. “It’s been ages. Where have you been hiding?”Dr. Lila Morgan. We’d met during one of Bibi’s pediatric check

CHAPTER 075 POV FREYA By morning, I was exhausted, though I’d barely slept. Kaiden was already dressed, straightening his tie in front of the mirror, pretending like nothing has happened and we were just one happy family. “You’re ready?” he asked without looking at me. “I guess,” I muttered, checking my reflection. I looked like I’d been dragged through my own memories. No amount of concealer could hide that. “Try to smile today,” he said under his breath. “It’s just lunch, not war.” I wanted to say, For you maybe. But I didn’t. Bibi came running out of her room wearing a yellow dress Alexa had gifted her two years ago. I should’ve thrown it away then, but I didn’t and now it came in handy.“Mommy, are we going to Mercy’s house now?” “Yes, sweetheart.” “Can I bring my sketchbook?” “Of course.” Kaiden drove, humming lowly to the radio. Every now and then, he’d glance at me as though waiting for me to start a fight, but I had nothing left to give him. The closer we g

CHAPTER 077POV (FREYA)By the next morning, I hadn’t slept. Not really. I just laid there, staring at the ceiling, replaying that voice over and over until I started doubting what I’d heard at all.Alan’s voice.It couldn’t be.I showered twice. Drank coffee I didn’t taste. Drove through three red lights before realizing I was even driving. By the time I parked in front of Dr. 's’s clinic, my hands were trembling so badly I had to sit still for a moment just to catch my breath. She looked surprised when I walked in, her eyes flicking from the folder in her hand to my face.“Freya?” she said, pushing her glasses up. “You didn’t book an appointment.” "Is Bibi okay?" She asked again and I sighed."You should've set an appointment then I would have cancelled the -" “I know,” I said quietly. “im sorry I just… needed to talk.”Something in my tone must have told her enough because she gestured toward her office immediately. “Come in. Sit.”The room was the same as always. The warm light
