Chapter 43 Directing Him

To The Bathroom For His...

Kristian shot back, "I never cheated on you with her." His voice carried a sharp edge of indignation.

Freya maintained her silence, convinced in her heart that Kristian would perpetually deny the truth, regardless

of evidence or confrontation.

"Deny it all you want," she finally declared, having already drawn her conclusions about his emotional infidelity. She leaned forward, her gaze intensifying. "Let me make myself perfectly clear. If either you or Ashley approaches me again with your personal drama, I won't hesitate to reveal everything publicly. Consider carefully whether you're prepared to weather the storm of public scrutiny."

"And what about your own actions?" Kristian's penetrating gaze dissected her expression, searching for

weakness.

Freya's brow creased with confusion. "What are you implying?"

"Your relationship with Trent Seymour, and that night you accompanied Edwin to a hotel in Alerith," Kristian pressed, his voice weighted with accusation, eyes locked unflinchingly on hers. "Had it been someone other than me present at that moment, would you have gone with him regardless?"

Fury coursed through Freya's veins like never before.

While she attempted to address concrete issues, he deflected with hypothetical scenarios and false equivalencies.

She shoved him away, her words cutting like glass. "I must be utterly delusional to attempt reasoning with someone so deliberately obtuse."

Kristian stood speechless, caught off guard by her directness.

Just as she prepared to physically remove him from her home, he strode past her with his long legs and settled onto the sofa as though he owned the property, his posture defiant.

He had arrived with genuine intentions of having a reasonable conversation, acknowledging that Ashley's approach to Freya had been wildly inappropriate. Yet somehow, upon facing Freya's disdainful indifference, he found himself deliberately provoking her, speaking words designed to elicit a reaction.

Freya glanced at the man sprawled across her sofa. Experience had taught her that if he truly decided to stay, physical removal wasn't an option within her capabilities.

This situation hardly warranted calling security or law enforcement.

Accepting the inevitable, she returned to the dining table to finish her meal.

Fortunately, her unfussy eating habits meant that even in her agitated state, she could nourish herself
