That Problematic Ring 57| Freya
Stretching my arms and legs, I wake up and observe sunlight flickering through the windows of my room.I lazily rise to a sitting position and that's when I feel excruciating pain in my head. It makes me mewl. I rub my temples with both hands and sigh aloud. Why is my head so heavy? I muse. I look at myself and notice I'm wearing the same last night's clothes. The dress is sticking to my body for some reason, increasing my irritation. I don't know how I fell asleep in this tight piece of cloth. I put pressure on my head and think about last night. I was out with Luke then I saw Rafe My eyes widen at the thought. Yes, I remember he came and he saw me in the dress. My head is heavy because I drank at the club. I also remember my conversations with him and that he brought me home. I restlessly look around, everywhere in the room just to search for him. He's nowhere. I'm alone in the room.Muttering swear words to myself, I try to rise from the bed and see the time. I can't tell wha

I went back home when Mia told me Mom and Dad had left. I didn't ask further like where they were headed; did they leave for New York or are they still staying at their hotel. I'm not interested. They can go and stay anywhere. I don't care as long as I don't get to see them. When I came back home, I was home alone. Mia wasn't around either. I'm happy because I'm hating that brainless woman. She could have kept her mouth shut. I was successful in hiding my relationship with Ben until now, but she blasted everything in just a few minutes.I was never planning to tell Mom and Dad about Ben and how it all started with Rafe and this marriage. I decided I would only tell them that I'm breaking up with Rafe. But my foolish sister. No one can really understand my internal battles that I'm fighting within me. It was already so difficult to take this step and now it has gone worse. I called the lawyer later and scolded her as well for not waiting for my response and sending the courier. I kno

It's been two days, I've been trying to connect to Rafe. I continued calling his number, and waited for him in the office and home. I even talked with his parents, but they also didn't know where he had gone. I also checked every place he could go to, but he was nowhere to be found. For the last two days, I've been on pins and needles, worrying about him, thinking about him. I came to the office too with the hope that he might come here. But he didn't. He hasn't been to the office for two days. At this moment, I'm still in the office, confining in my own room. His disappearance depicts that he's very angry at me this time and he doesn't want to talk to me. I know they are his deliberate ways to cut me off, to keep me away from him. I can't even guess where he could be. This wait is escalating my impatience and my yearning for him. I wish I could just see him right this moment and tell him how much he means to me. Tell him that I don't want divorce. I can understand what it's been l
That Problematic Ring Special Chapter (Rafe)
*A short chapter; just a glimpse of what Rafe was like after hearing about the divorce and talking to Freya. i thought I should write that. but you can skip it if you think that it is not needed.*--------+--------The fury in me is suffocating me. It is pulsing through my veins. Every time Freya's face pops up in my mind, I urge to explode in flames and burn every single thing around me. I quickly rummage through the shelves of my office's room and look for important files. I'm leaving this place. I'm going far away. I can't stand this place or anything that's related to her. I toss the files into my briefcase, opened on my table. I also collect other important stuff and put them inside. The ringing of my phone interrupts me. I irk and glance at it. It's Father. I groan then ignore it. Mom and Father have been continuously calling me since they have found out that Freya is divorcing me. I know why they want to talk to me. They want to scold me, scorn me and put some baseless blame

As I landed to New York, I decided to go straight to the Eastmond Enterprise to meet Rafe's father. He's a resourceful man. He certainly must have done something to find his son. If not, then I can even rely on his instincts. He's someone who can help me to start my search in this city. I winded up my work at Seattle once I made sure that Rafe is not in Seattle. I took the earliest flight to New York. I waited for a whole day and did everything in my power to search for him, but when I became hopeless, I decided to follow Mia's suggestion. There is a chance that he went back to New York.I sent my luggage to my New York's apartment with the help of my driver. He took my car too. So I took a taxi and headed to the Eastmond building with a hope that I get to see Rafe's father. He has to see me too and do not deny my arrival. I wish I had some supernatural power that would help me find Rafe. That could help me tell him this very moment that I like him too, that I like him more than him,

By the time I reach the hotel, raining starts all of a sudden. It took me around an hour and half to reach the hotel where Rafe is probably staying. And in the midway, the rain started. I didn't check today's weather forecast, but I knew that it is not the time of monsoon season in New York. This rain is unexpected. I stay inside the car, hesitant to come out because I've not brought the umbrella with me. The rain will drench my clothes. I stay inside for some minutes. Rain seems like a good excuse to delay facing Rafe. My mind is turning blank. Now I'm here and near him, I'm losing my confidence. My body has turned quite heavy for some reason although I haven't eaten anything since morning. I know it is happening because of the strong emotions that are stirring inside my stomach. I'm scared to face him. I'm scared of his reaction and his rejection. I won't be able to handle it without dissolving into tears in front of him. After almost sitting in the car for twenty minutes, I step

After some seconds, I move my hand down from my mouth and say the words that ached my heart everyday, "There is something you should know....I...love you, Rafe. You should know it was not one-sided." "The care and sincerity you always showed to me made me fall for you. Any woman at my place would be fond of you. It hurt me to see you with her. I didn't know you were feeling the same. And I didn't want to act selfishly this time. I wanted to do something to ease your love life so you could be happy with the person you liked." I whimper, losing control on my tears. The pain that I was hiding inside me is coming on the surface and making me vulnerable. Rafe stands in the same position. I'm unable to know if my words are affecting him or not. Maybe I should really accept that I've lost him. It is not going to work. He's too angry to forgive me."And you said that I should have talked with you before applying. I did talk about ending our marriage once or twice. It was not a direct conve
That Problematic Ring Rafe's Spin-off (of chap 61-62)
*I've written this Rafe's POV because I felt like it won't be fair to the character if I do not show how he felt when he listened to Freya's reasons and her confession and why he agreed to give her a chance. You can skip it if you want, but I advise you not to do that ;)*-------++++++--------"Excuse me, Mr. Eastmond." As I walk through the reception of the hotel, one of the hotel's clerks calls my name. I stop and turn around."There is a message for our guests that it is raining outside and the forecast's predictions say that it can turn into a bad thunderstorm so guests are advised to stay cautious for tonight. Please do not go anywhere far or call someone here that lives far from the hotel. We just want to protect you from any incident." "Alright. Thanks for the information." I nod slowly, "But don't worry I'm not expecting a visitor nor I'm leaving anywhere." Who can come here... No one knows where I am. "Thank you, sir. Have a nice evening." He smiles then turns to his way.I
