ROY
By the time I was done with Raina in the hospital, I came outside and my grandmother told me Freya already left.

“Well then humy up
The castle to Finya’s old house took thi ty mutes and whers Laived I saw Ivan’s cat was parked down the
road Hrowned, what was he doing here?
I walked into the hallway and that’s when I heard a struggling and muffled voice that sounded like Freyn. Without wasding time, I pushed the door operand barged in
red.
My eyes widened at the sight that greeted me Ivan was on top of Freya and trying to force himself on her Iow
I grabbed him and punched hins in the jaw He fell to the floor and I punched him again, stomping on his leg
“You bastard” Ismailed
Freya stood up immediately and stood between me and Ivan Her eyes were filled with tears as she stared at me
“That’s enough, Boy” she said to me
But he tried to force himself on you I snapped. Just saying it and thinking about it made me want to throw
another punch at him.
“Get out, Ivan Freya snarled at him.
With a frown, Ivan stumbled out. Eglared at Freya, “Why didn’t you let me heat him up?”
“You could have killed him she sighed.

Het out a deep breath as I pulled her into my arms. She relaxed and allowed the tears to roll down her cheeks as I held her, kissing the top of her han
“I’m so sony, Freya,” Lapologized.
Lallowed her to get herself before urged her to tell me what had happened and why Ivan had arrived there. She
told me about what Ivan had said.
I was mortified to realize that the hastard had been manipulating me all along because he was in love with my
I finally helped her clean up. In the struggle with Ivan, she had spilled her cereals. I knew she only ate this when she was stressed or upset
When the room was clean I sat down with her and held her hands in my palm as I drew circles around it.
“Forgive me, Freya,” I apologized, “I’m sorry I left you at the altar. It was very foolish and insensitive of me. I’m
sorry.”
I saw the sad look in her eyes as she shook her head, “I didn’t expect this from you, Roy. And it took you so long
to acknowledge your mistakes.”
I nodded and bowed my head in shame, “I’m sorry, Freya. Just give me another chance to make it right.”
Freya shrugged, “What do you want me to do?”
I went down on one knee and presented the ring she had left at our apartment when she packed away
“Marry me again, my love. Let me love you again like before”
Tears clouded her eyes as she stared at me, “That’s all I’ve ever wanted, Roy. But right now I’m not so sure. I need
some time alone. I don’t even know if I wanna be with you right now.”
My heart ached at her words but I knew that I had to respect her decision. There was nothing I could do. It wasn’t
in my nature to force anyone to do what they didn’t want to do.
“I understand, Freya, but when you change your mind I’ll be here waiting.”
***Thank you
“Will you be alright here?” I asked,
I felt worried about leaving her alone after what happened with Ivan.
“I’ll be alright. You don’t have to worry about me,” she smiled at me.
I pulled her into a hug and kissed her forehead. Then I turned to leave with my heart sinking.
“Wait, Roy,” she called out to me.
I turned around as I tried to hide the sadness in my eyes. I feigned a smile at her.
“Yes? What’s wrong, Freya?” I asked her.
The next words she said shocked me and made me the happiest man in the universe.
