Underneath the grave

Chapter 81Raymond's POVThe familiar scent of Michael's apartment greeted me, and I realized that ever since Alexis and I were driven from his home, this was the first time I was visiting. I had always seen him at his office.As I walked a few steps over to make my presence known to him, the door of his room opened, and together with him was Jason, his lookalike best friend. Jason could pass for Michael's brother rather than Ambrose."Hi, Michael?" I greeted, trying my best to appear as normal as I could. I was tense; I had no intentions of giving anyone my full loyalty, especially Ambrose. I began to think of how I would make this decision of mine a wise move. I wouldn't want to do anything to appear suspicious in Michael's eyes, at least, he appreciated my effort."Hey, get over here, let's talk," Michael said to me as he walked ahead of us, going over to one of the empty rooms I had never visited. The door creaked open as Michael walked in first. I could see a big black box as I w

Confessions

Chapter 82Michael's POVI couldn't stop thinking about Jason's idea. It was a good suggestion, one I had thought of myself, but I didn't think I could swallow my pride and go to Freya, begging for her help. "Don't you think you need to talk to her? She might know something too," Jason's last words echoed in my mind as I took a deep breath.Before I knew it, I had decided to go to her home. I had promised myself I wouldn't get swayed by the rolling of her eyes or the biting of her lips. I kept reminding myself that I didn't love her anymore. Yet, I felt guilty for distancing myself from her little boy, Waylen. He was never involved in any of this...............As I stood outside her door, I took a deep breath and knocked. Just then, Freya's mom called out from inside, "Freya, honey, I think you forgot your medicine." My heart sank, realizing Freya wasn't home. And then, I began to wonder if Freya was perhaps ill?"Freya?" her mom called out again, this time with a hint of questioni

Confessions 2

Chapter 83Freya's POV"What...what did you just say?" I stopped, my heart suddenly constricting upon hearing Michael's words. It might have been a mistake. There was no way Michael would love a woman like me. Probably, there was something wrong with my eardrum."Did you really hate me that much? Did you really hate Michael that you were so eager for the divorce?" Michael asked, a smile forming at the corner of his lips."Really? I should be asking you that question. Almighty Michael hates Freya so much that he didn't even hesitate to shut me out of his life completely," I fired, my emotions taking control of me.He laughed, and I wondered what was so funny because I didn't think I was making a joke."Now you're being dramatic. I'm sure you've heard everything earlier, and then, you probably want me to look you in the eyes and explain myself. Well," he paused, giving me a long stare, his face brightly filled with smiles, which partially made me blush as I avoided eye contact with him.

A change of taste

Chapter 84A change of tasteEmma's POVI clenched my phone tightly, my voice barely above a whisper as I muttered Freya's name, my lips curling in disgust. How dare she go back on her words? I had specifically warned her never to cross me, and I was willing to provide her with everything she needed to leave the country."Freya!" I exclaimed, my anger boiling over as I hurled my phone at the wall, watching in satisfaction as it shattered into a hundred pieces. My gaze fell upon the delicate flower vases and champagne bottle on the glass table, and I couldn't contain my emotions as I began to destroy each item, the sound of shattering glass and ceramic echoing through the room.How dare Michael hurt me so badly? I fumed with rage, my chest heaving with each ragged breath. I had abandoned my family and purchased a new home just to be with him, and this was how he repaid me? By turning a blind eye and pursuing a destitute local whore?I was determined to make them pay, as I stormed out

She's my fool, my pet, and my puppet.

Chapter 85Ambrose POVA smile formed on my lips as I watched Raymond from the penthouse. I knew he probably had some news for me. Since the last time, I hadn't seen him. I also couldn't stop thinking about the conference meeting I had earlier. Michael would have no choice but to let go of his company. Everything was ready: the witnesses, his negligence to work, breaking the law, and getting into a contract marriage. All of it would be used - the messages from the bug and..."Sir, Mr. Raymond is waiting on the third floor. Should I call him over or would you go to him?" A frown formed on my face as I gave the maid a wild look."Do you realize no one comes up to the penthouse? Get your freaking ass out there and tell him to wait for me!" I fired, as she left at once. I had lots of mansions in the city, amongst them was my special penthouse. The last time I spent the night was four years ago, during my time with Freya. Now, I couldn't stop thinking about all of Emma's features. I couldn

Freya or my assets?

Chapter 86Freya's POVTwo days laterThe meeting between Michael's grandfather and me continually left me stunned. I couldn't look him in the eyes as he had declared that he didn't want a woman like me anymore. As I walked tiredly out of his compound, I met Michael's white car in front, probably waiting to take me home. My heart began to bleed as I couldn't take my gaze off his adorable face. Tears began to fall from my eyes as I fought within me never to let them fall, but somehow, they fell."Freya," Michael called, realizing that I didn't acknowledge his presence or reveal a smiling face. I didn't flinch as I kept walking; I guess this time, Michael and I weren't meant to be."Freya," Michael called again, his voice more audible behind me. He had probably gotten out of the car. I closed my eyes tightly as I felt his hand against mine, stopping me from walking further."You had a meeting with Grandfather, and you didn't tell me?" he asked, but I didn't reply. I didn't even know how

Because of me

Chapter 87Michael's POV"You sure do know the consequences of what you're about to do, Michael?" Grandpa's voice kept echoing as I didn't say a word. My heart and mind were in turmoil as I had just given it up for Freya. She had done so much for me; she had gone through so much for me. I needed to do something for her."Michael," she called, moving over to me as I looked away from her. My heart was pierced by Grandpa's sudden decree. Freya's hand slowly rested around me for an embrace, and somehow, I needed that embrace at the moment. As she tried to pull off, I didn't let her, as I kept scenting the sweet fragrance from her hair. I remained there, wondering how I was going to let everyone realize that the only mistake we made was loving eachother genuinely."Did he...change his mind?" She asked, her voice filled with concern, but I pretended not to hear. I didn't want to hurt her feelings; if I told her what I put up for her, she would not hesitate to leave me. "Everything will be

I love you

Chapter 88Freya's POV"Michael, are you... okay?" I asked as we entered his dimly lit room. Michael's face looked so gloomy, as if Bella had only passed away recently. A part of me held on to the possibility that the result would probably be false; that somehow, someway, Bella was alive."I would have asked you to stay with me, but then your friend isn't here anymore. I couldn't let you leave your mom; I'll be fine, Freya," Michael said, reminding me of Naomi.I closed my eyes for a moment, inhaling deeply. I still couldn't believe that Naomi would betray me. I hadn't seen her or visited her since everything happened. I wasn't planning on reading her letters either, but I couldn't deny the fact that I missed her."What do you plan to do from now on?" I asked, my voice low. Michael looked away for a while, biting the inside of his lips, his fingers drumming on the surface of his thigh."What do you think about everything that happened five years ago?" I asked. "I wasn't drunk, Freya,

The runaway

Chapter 89Freya's POV"Wow! What a brave move, Freya. I've always known you to be such a little dove. You've done a great job, and I'll stick to my promise like I've always done," she said, showing off her walking skills as I let out a chuckle."I have no time for these. Give me the money," I repeated, this time with a deep frown on my face. Not fascinated by any move she tried to make, I kept glancing at my watch. It was getting dark, and I couldn't afford to leave my mom alone."Are poor people that desperate for money? I see. And how would Michael feel when he realized the woman he chose over me came here to trade him for money?" she asked, as I let out a short laugh. She must be kidding me. To think she had any slightest right to say those words to me.But then, I still didn't want to unleash my anger just yet. "Really?" I asked, moving closer to her. 'And what makes you better? How dare you show your face after everything you've done to Michael? How could you do that to a man y

Without a trace

Chapter 90Michael's POV"Freya," I called, my voice low as my hands caressed the empty space next to me. With my eyes closed, I still couldn't shake off the memories of the previous night. And somehow, it felt like I was dreaming again, reliving everything that had happened last night."Michael!" And then, I could hear a voice that was audible enough, making me realize that this might not exactly be a dream. The voice became louder and louder, and somehow, I could hear a throbbing knock on the door as my eyes snapped open."Michael," the voice called again, as I blinked my eyes twice. That was Emma's voice. My heart began to beat faster, and it felt like my whole mind was betraying me. Was Emma the woman I had made love with last night? Why was she here, and why was Freya gone?"Michael, do you realize you shouldn't keep me waiting for..." "What do you want?" I asked, opening up the door before she had the chance to do so. I wasn't putting on something decent, but a towel would do.
