My Heart

Chapter 113 Freya's

Promise

Freya caught the hint immediately. "He?" she asked, a knowing look in her eyes.

Ashley hesitated, realizing she had let something slip.

She paused, carefully weighing her next words. The mission had already crumbled like a house of cards. Whether she was caught or managed to escape, she would inevitably fall into that man's clutches.

The choice to speak or stay silent seemed like a matter of little consequence.

"If I tell you, can you promise me that you'll protect my family?" Ashley asked, her voice quiet but firm. "They're just ordinary people, and they don't deserve this."

"Speak first," Freya replied, not yet willing to give her promise.

Ashley wasn't sure why, but hearing that simple response eased the knot in her chest.

She looked at Freya and said, "Ask away. There's so much I could say, I don't know where to start."

Did that person order you to kidnap me?" Freya asked.

"Yes," Ashley answered.

"Why?"

Ashley confessed, her voice barely above a whisper, "He wanted me to create a compromising video of you, something he could use to force you into doing his bidding."

Freya didn't say much more, her gaze steady. She continued, "What does he want me to do?"

"He wants you to stay close to Kristian, to follow his commands whenever he gives them," Ashley said, feeling

a weight slowly lifting off her shoulders. "My return was part of his plan too."

"He wants you to marry Kristian?" Freya asked, piecing it together.

"Yes."
