Chapter 559:
In that instant, everything snapped into focus. He realized, painfully, that he had misjudged Freya all along.
“Set up a meeting with Norah Russell,” Kristian blurted, his voice sharp with urgency.
Gerard gave a quick nod. “Alright.”
As Gerard exited the room, Kristian’s gaze stayed locked on the thick stack of paperwork in his hands.
The weight of the revelations hit harder than anything he'd ever faced. He couldn't wrap his head around how
Norah had managed to keep such a perfect mask in place.
Norah was Damon's little sister. She was the last person Kristian ever thought capable of something like this. He
never imagined she would go to such great lengths to set Freya up.
The two women had no visible connection at all.
His thoughts spun in chaos as he lifted a hand to his forehead, the regret seeping out of him like a slow bleed.
Scenes from the past crushing back—every doubt he’d thrown at Freya, the harsh words, the way he'd
dismissed her pleas. She had tried to explain. And how had he treated her? He'd never trusted her. The more he
thought about it, the tighter his chest became, until it felt like he couldn’t draw in a full breath.

true to herself from beginning to end.
The heaviness in his chest sank lower, dulling into a lingering ache.
When Gerard returned to give his report, he found Kristian seated with his head bowed low, eyes still fixed on
the stack of damning papers. The air in the room felt suffocating, thick with unspoken regret—like a child quietly
lamenting a mistake that couldn't be undone.

Gerard exhaled softly and slipped out without saying a word, gently shutting the door behind him, leaving
Kristian alone with the consequences.
Life has a way of balancing itself. Gains and losses, cause and effect. Every decision carries its cost. Sooner or
later, everyone pays. Kristian and Freya—two souls meant to cross paths, but never meant to walk the same
road.
For the next hour, Kristian didn’t move from his office chair. He sat steeped in silence, buried in thought.
Gerard kept watch outside, intercepting those looking for signatures or direction, scribbling down their questions
and bundling up the paperwork for later.
Freya's heartbreak had likely happened six months ago. But for Kristian, it started today.
Thankfully, he didn’t drown in the misery for long. By six o'clock, he had finished reviewing the documents and
called Gerard back in.
