Chapter 252 A Will

Gerard was stunned, frozen in place by the sheer weight of what he'd just heard.

He wanted to speak up, to say something, but the fear of Freya overhearing held him back. Instead, he quietly repositioned Kristian's hand.

"Wait for me-I'm heading over now," Kristian muttered anxiously.

"Just listen first," Freya urged over the phone, her voice calm but firm. "Don't rush into anything."

Kristian's heart thundered in his chest, breath coming quicker. "Go on."

"I won't be in danger if I'm taken. The one they're after is you," she explained, laying things out clearly. "Once I'm taken, he'll definitely reach out and demand that you come save me."

She hadn't expected things to spiral this fast.

She couldn't begin to guess what that man was planning.

"You can't be taken away," Kristian said, his voice laced with dread.

"I have to. It's the only way to make our plan work." Freya detailed her strategy to

Kristian in full. "But there's one thing I need you to remember."

"What is it?"

"Trust me," she said softly.

Kristian fell silent, his thoughts spinning.

Freya stared down at the plans marked A, B, and C, the weight of it all sinking in.

"I know it's hard for you, but whatever happens, I need you to follow my lead and always trust me."

"Will you be in danger?" That was all Kristian could bring himself to ask.

"No," Freya answered flatly. "But that man might try to scare you with fake information. I need you to promise you won't give in."

Kristian's head was already in chaos.

The fever he hadn't quite shaken off made everything feel heavier, and now this-it was too much.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Freya. He just couldn't bring himself to leave Freya with that mysterious man.

"Kristian, are you listening?"

"I am."

"Will you trust me?" she asked again.
