"Shouldn't you feel that way?" Kristian grimaced in agony, his reply frosty as he struggled to maintain

composure.

"You're utterly delusional." Freya's anger was palpable, her voice laced with frustration as she shot back. "Why. should I feel lesser and distressed by your blunders? Without Ashley Bradley, I would only thrive."

"Just try and see." With a venomous tone, Kristian's anger boiled over, his words cutting deeply. "See if anyone else, apart from me, would offer you so much in a divorce. You really should know your place. I acknowledge your skill, yet the world teems with skilled individuals. In business, interests reign supreme. They'll safeguard their wealth by prenuptial agreements, and if you part ways, you'll be left with nothing."

After striking him, a wave of calm washed over Freya. "Got it all out?"

"You are not Ethel; the Briggs family is no safety net for you," Kristian sneered.

"My memory is just fine," Freya snapped back, her tone stern. "I'm not looking to marry for a divorce payout."

Kristian's face softened momentarily, caught off guard.

Unyielding, Freya continued, "It doesn't matter to me if he secures his wealth before we wed. I seek a partner who genuinely loves me, values our life together, and aspires to foster a loving home. Just because that's how you live doesn't mean everyone else does." The last flicker of warmth in her heart died out completely then. "Not all men are f-boys like you."

Without pausing for his reaction or a reply, she turned on her heel and strode away.

Kristian remained rooted to the spot for what felt like an eternity, stunned and haunted by her departing

words.

She had spoken of her longing for someone who truly loved and valued her. Abruptly, a tide of disquiet overwhelmed him, as if something precious had slipped through his fingers, possibly forever.

"Sir, are you alright?" Gerard's voice broke through the silence, hesitant and laced with concern.

The confrontation with Freya had been intense; she had even struck his boss. The pain was more than physical.

Silently, Kristian slid into his car, slumped back into the seat, and shut his eyes.

The air inside the car grew thick with tension...

With no destination given, Gerard simply let the car drift through the streets.

After a stretch of time, Kristian's eyes flickered open, veiled in a deep, unsettling darkness.
