LeaveAlone

Freya's arrival immediately caught the attention of three people.

Hugh's tension eased when he saw her, though worry lingered in his heart. He was unsure if she still had feelings

for Kristian. Should that be the case, Kristian's actions might have hurt her deeply, intensifying her distress.

"Mina!" Ethel's gaze was locked onto her.

Freya approached and playfully tousled her hair. She then turned to face Kristian with measured, pointed words.

"The door is that way. No rush on your way out."

"We're not finished yet. How can | just leave?" Although Kristian's voice stayed steady, his eyes locked onto

Freya the moment he spotted her in her professional office attire.

In that instant, he could only think that she perfectly embodied the role of a leader in the corporate world. Freya

asserted right from the beginning, "There's nothing more to talk about. When we got divorced, | told you a

proper ex should stay out of my life."

"I'm not just any ex-husband," Kristian retorted casually, his gaze fixed on her. Freya was momentarily at a loss

for words. How could he be so audacious? Kristian overlooked her scornful look and turned to Hugh and Ethel.

"Mr. Briggs, | need a moment alone with Freya. Would you mind giving us sroom?"

Hugh instinctively looked Freya's way.

If Freya was okay with him leaving, he would leave and if she wanted him to stay, he would stay.

"You both can go downstairs and have srest. I'll join you after I've spoken with him." Freya finally resolved to

speak privately with Kristian.

"But..." Ethel was a little worried.

With a calm look, Freya reassured her, saying, "It's okay. Go on."

Ethel was always compliant with Freya's wishes, so despite her hesitance, she left, casting several backward

glances.

Hugh followed suit, albeit reluctantly. He had hoped to stay, believing that his presence might deter Kristian from

overstepping

However, respecting Freya's request, he left.

Then, only Freya and Kristian remained in the room.

Freya stood defiant. "What do you really want?"

"Let's get remarried."

"That's out of the question."

"You can set any conditions," Kristian said, his thin lips barely moving, just like

when they divorced. "But you don't have a say in this."

Freya listened to him as he spoke confidently. "Really?"

"Yes," Kristian affirmed with conviction.

His demeanor and steady gaze suggested he was certain he could win her over again.

“Kristian, take a good look at yourself in the mirror," Freya said, her voice softening unexpectedly. "Do you see

what | see? Someone stubborn and self- righteous, who thinks the entire world revolves around him."

She was baffled, unable to understand why he was so certain she would agree to remarry him.

"No, I'm none of those things," Kristian responded coolly, seemingly unfazed by her critique.

Freya had no desire to continue the conversation.

Seeing her silence, Kristian stood up, his long legs accentuated by the tailored lines of his suit pants.

He approached her slowly, his presence increasingly imposing.

Freya instinctively frowned.

"What happened before was my fault. I've cto genuinely apologize." Kristian added softly, "I'm sorry."

"And so?" Freya asked, her stance unyielding.

She doubted that a mere apology could mend the fractures of their past.

Kristian broke the silence. "Unblock me."

"Kristian."

"What?"

"Are you actually aware of your wrongdoing, or are you just curious about me?" Freya pierced through his

facade, her gaze steady and clear. "Is it because of who | am, my hacking skills, or... the card found at Felipe's

house?"

She remembered the affection Kristian once showed her. Although it was never

very deep, it was deeper than what she was seeing now.

His eyes now held no warmth, only underlying motives.

With her directness, Kristian dropped his pretense.

Recently, Gerard had learned about Freya's ordeal at the hotel and her subsequent assault. But the investigation

into the mastermind hit a dead end.

The suspect was a stranger to Freya, someone with no ties to her, and despite the proof, Kristian found it hard to

accept that this individual was the culprit.

Kristian sat back down and delved into the heart of the matter. Are there aspects of your life I'm unaware of?"

"How is that your business?"

"Apparently, there are."

Freya didn't reply. She was clueless about his thoughts or his plans, and frankly, she didn't care.

"Let's team up and pretend to get back together," Kristian proposed. "We can work together to uncover who's

behind the assault and who set you up at the hotel." Freya refused. "That's not necessary."

"Freya!"

"If | weren't associated with you, none of this would have happened."

That simple sentence made Kristian catch onto the key information. "What do you mean?"

"I was first attacked and later set up at a hotel. Ashley was involved in a car accident and violated at a hotel,”

Freya spelled out explicitly for the first time, “all these events suggest one thing."

"What's that?"

"All these actions were orchestrated by the sperson, who did them to remove any barriers preventing her

from getting close to you. The person is infatuated with you," Freya explained.

She was utterly repulsed by such acts and was too tired to deal with them.

Rather than entangle herself in such , she preferred to focus on earning more money and getting

adequate sleep.

Kristian was taken aback. He instinctively protested, “Impossible.”

In his life, other than Freya and Ashley, he rarely interacted with women. His circle

of friends was predominantly male.

Seeing his staunch denial, Freya realized that he hadn't changed; he was still dismissive of her opinions.

"I've said everything that needs to be said. | don't want to see you again." Freya truly wanted to cut all ties with

him. "And | hope you'll leavealone."

"First, unblock me," Kristian persisted.

Exhausted from the back-and-forth, Freya pulled out her phone, unblocked his number, and said calmly, "Done."

Upon hearing that, Kristian immediately tested it.

He could send her messages and call her again.

Though he had achieved what he wanted, the sight of her detached and

indifferent demeanor weighed heavily

on his heart.

"Can you leave now?" Freya asked.

"Did you do all this just to makeleave?" Kristian's emotions surged, his earlier composure disappearing

Freya didn't hold back. “What else? Did you really think | had forgiven you and we were going to get back

together?"
