Chapter 28
AIDEN
My heart thumped with the promise of pain. Severe, unyielding pain……
“No buts, Freya
for on
By this time, I had stepped so close that there was hardly a few inches between us. Our proximity was unsettling for Freya, it was on her face. If was less of a bastard. I would have stepped back but I wasn’t
Instead, I gripped her elbow and steered her towards the couch. I motioned with my head for her to take a seat.
“Tell me everything”
There was no grinng out of this. Freya wasn’t dumb enough to not understand that. By this time she had probably realised that I always got what he wanted. Might as well start speaking.
“When Nooh came back from the office today, he seemed to be in a bad mood. He said he wanted to break up.”
Freya’s face
scrunched like every memory of him was repulsive
“I knew our relationship had become exhausting, strained for some time then, So naturally 1 agreed with him. Noah was probably expecting me to cry and beg him to take me back or something. I don’t know. Me agreeing to the breakup at once, he took it as a hit to his ego. He cursed and shouted at me. According to him, I was waiting for an opportunity to to pursue you. I don’t know why he dragged your name in the middle of it”
She sounded genuinely lost while it all fell into place for me. I knew exactly why I came in the middle of it‘. Guilt clashed with the surge of anger 1 felt for mysell.
It was my fault to let that lowlife get away with just a threat. Thought had made myself clear but somehow his Royal Denseness interpreted that it was okay to lay a hand on Freya.
Big fucking mistake. One he was going to pay for dearly.
she on the other hand was unaware of all the raging emotions inside of me. I was stching to get my hands on that fucker.
“So–uhm that’s when you know….” |
Freya trailed off, fidgeting nervously in her position like she would run off at the
e first chance she’d get
That’s when he hit her. Doesn’t take a genius to understand what she meant
“No, I don’t know. You have to tell me exactly what he did to you, how that bastard hurt you”
Apparently I was a masochist. I wanted to torture myself with every detail of the night, the night I failed her.
Freya released a resigned sigh. She looked at anywhere else but my face. Her discomfort was visible. I felt like a dick for doing this.
“Noah he grabbed me by my arm while snarling all kinds of abuses in my face. I had never seen him like that, that crazed look in his eyes. I told him he was hurting me. When he didn’t let go, I kicked him in the nuts,
I felt a flicker of pride at her words. That’s my girl! That wasn’t even close to what he deserved but it was definitely something-
“That felt good but he got even more angry. She wetted her lips, breathing in shakily. “He twisted my arms behind my back and shoved me against
the wall
The muscles in my neck and back stiffened one by one till I had gone absolutely still. I haven’t felt this before, white hot rage searing me inside out
My jaws clenched out of the attempt to not let my emotions overpower me right now. I breathed out
Freya looked up at my face with a careful assessing gaze. “That’s it. Gia had walked in at that time or probably she was standing there. I don’t even know. She called for me and he let go. After that I picked up my purse and we just left while he was in the shower.
Freya shivered as she completed recollecting the night which only fed my need to hurt. Noah Rivera was a fucking dead man walking
Chapter 29
The logical thing to do would have been giving Freya some space after I had forced her to relive last night. I did the exact opposite. I stepped even. closer and touched her face
“He’ll pay Love. He’ll pay for what he has done.”
She looked into my eyes and whatever she saw wasn’t pretty enough. “Why can’t we just let it
mpre into my
touch.
“You are asking me that?” My thumb grazed the corner of her mouth. I wondered if she was even aware that she was leaning more
“Look, he told me his mother is 11. She is in some mental health facility. I don’t know if it’s true because he didn’t want me to visit her. But if honestly that’s the case he has to support her you know?”
So fucking compassionate. This woman!
“His mother’s bills will be taken care of 111 do it
“Bat
Freta cut herself off when my hand on her cheek snaked around to grab the back of her neck, I gave her neck a squeeze, just enough to ensure that I had her complete attention
“Would you have asked me to let it go if in fut
if in fature Cia finds herself in this position!
The words tasted acidic in my own mouth. But it would never come to that. I would never let Gia face something like that. Even the thought of my baby girl getting hurt sickened me but that’s the only way I could make Freya see my point of view.
Freya flinched in my hold as if I had burned her. I witnessed the acceptance on her face and that’s exactly when I knew that she would go to any limits to protect our daughter. We both would
She sucked in a deep breath. “What are you gonna do?”
Still holding the back of her neck, I pulled her closer 1 pressed my lips against her forehead.
“Nothing he doesn’t deserve.”
