Off Limit: Claimed By My Ex-fiance's Step-dad 164: Good girl.
~~~Freya~~~I had purposely ignored him last night, even though my heart melted the second I saw those beautiful red roses. I wasn’t really angry with him — not deep down. I was just hurt that he had kept Samantha a secret from me for so long, especially after the way he completely ignored her in front of me. Still, when he brought me flowers and apologized so sweetly, I couldn’t stay mad. I just wanted to throw a little tantrum. I knew he’d see right through it… and that he knew I’d eventually succumb.When he finally went to sleep, I couldn’t resist anymore. I quietly slipped out of my robe and crawled into bed with him. I just wanted to feel him. To cuddle against his warm, strong body. It had been a while. Honestly, I was still a little scared he might have another nightmare, but I was ready to brace myself. He needed to overcome this, and I wanted to be there for him.I must have drifted off deeply because the next thing I felt was something warm, soft lips brushing against the s

~~~Ryder~~~I had dropped Freya off at Zoey’s place this morning and was now on my way to pick her up that afternoon. As I drove down the estate expressway, I spotted her and Zoey standing in the middle of the road, chatting away. She looked so happy — smiling, laughing, completely at ease. It warmed something deep in my chest, especially after the little fight we had recently. I loved seeing her like that.Instead of interrupting immediately, I parked my Bentley a good distance away at the corner of the road. I’d let her enjoy her time with Zoey a little longer.Then, without warning, a car came speeding past me like a damn missile. I recognized it instantly. Samantha’s car. My jaw clenched so hard it ached. That bitch. I knew exactly where she was heading.My heart shot to my throat. Pure fury exploded through my veins, hot and violent. Fuck that bitch. She was really trying to kill Freya.I started the engine, ready to floor it, when I saw her car barreling straight toward Freya. B
Off Limit: Claimed By My Ex-fiance's Step-dad 162: Samantha… I never married you
.~~~Samantha~~~I was tired of this. Tired of staying low-key, playing the invisible woman while Ryder paraded around with other women. Five whole years he had ignored me, acting like I didn’t exist, like our alliance meant nothing. But he was still bound to me, whether he wanted to acknowledge it or not.Then I found out he was seeing a younger girl these days. And guess what? She turned out to be connected to one of my family’s enemies. Her enemy was my enemy too. Simple as that.I was heading to my friend’s house when I spotted her — Freya — from afar. A murderous rage filled me instantly. No thinking, no consequences. If she died, all my problems would vanish. I pressed my foot on the accelerator, speeding up. Jesus, I was so close. Just a little more and it would’ve been over.But that stupid friend of hers saved her at the last second.Instead of celebrating right now, I was standing here being mocked by these little girls who were young enough to be my daughters. And the worst
Off Limit: Claimed By My Ex-fiance's Step-dad 161: Ryder’s alleged wife.
~~~Freya~~~I swallowed hard, my voice barely above a whisper. “Samantha?”“Yes,” she replied calmly, offering a small smile. “Samantha. Or you can call me Sam.”Zoey, who was still fuming beside me, let out a sharp, sarcastic laugh. Her brain hasn't snapped yet that Samantha is also the name of Ryder's new so-called wife. Could it be her. “Oh, Samantha. Or Sam. Whatever the hell you want to be called today,” she snapped, stepping forward with her hands on her hips. “Are you blind or just plain stupid? You came speeding like a madwoman and nearly turned my friend into a hood ornament! You could’ve killed her, you reckless witch!”Samantha’s expression didn’t soften. Instead, she tilted her head slightly, looking Zoey up and down with cool indifference. “It’s not my fault she was standing so close to the road like a lunatic. Maybe next time she’ll pay attention to her surroundings instead of gossiping on the sidewalk. Honestly, if I had actually hit her, it would’ve been her own damn p
Off Limit: Claimed By My Ex-fiance's Step-dad 160: I'm Samantha Reyes.
~~~Freya~~~I wiped my hands on the napkin and stood up. Zoey linked arms with me as we headed to the garden.The garden was beautiful — soft lights glowing along the winding paths, flowers blooming in every color imaginable, the sweet scent of roses and jasmine hanging in the cool evening air. It felt peaceful. I ran my fingers gently over the petals of a bright red rose, admiring how soft and velvety they felt under my touch.I could see the hesitation written all over Zoey’s face. She obviously didn’t know how to bring up the matter. I chuckled softly, looking away as I touched another flower, not meeting her eyes.“You wanted to say something…” I said quietly.She cleared her throat, hesitating for a second like she was trying to find the right words. I already knew what she wanted to ask about.She finally spoke, voice a little too casual. “So… that arrogant stranger we met at the bank. The one who took a bullet for you. How is he doing?”A smile formed on my lips, still touching
Off Limit: Claimed By My Ex-fiance's Step-dad 159: Let's go.
~~~Freya~~~It hurts.For real, it really hurts.I’ve been asking Ryder for the truth this whole time, but he never gives me a straight answer. He always pushes the matter away, telling me he doesn’t want to talk about it or that he’ll tell me when the time is right. Why is he hiding it from me? What’s there to hide?It’s not his fault, though. Our relationship only started as an arrangement. He never told me he didn’t have a wife, right? He never lied to me about not having a wife. He’s kept all his secrets to himself, so he’s not to blame. It’s my fault. I’m the one who fell in love with him. I thought he loved me too, but now I’m not so sure. He’s been keeping things to himself, and that shit stings.It’s fine, though. For real, it’s fine.I don’t feel insecure or scared that I’m going to lose him to someone else. Instead, I feel safer with him than I’ve ever felt with anyone. Like I’m going to be with him forever. And this Samantha woman — whoever she is — doesn’t feel like a real
