She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 645:

His lips parted, but no words came out.

Kristian turned without another word and drove straight to the location Brendan had given him. He didn’t understand why Brendan was going against him.

He didn’t think about it. All he cared about was Freya. He regretted agreeing to her plan.

Even if she had a personal vendetta against Brendan, he never should’ve let her go through with it. It should’ve been him from the beginning.

Frederick couldn’t stop Kristian, so he called Trent right away. After taking in everything Frederick relayed, Trent merely advised him to stay composed and keep tracking Freya’s whereabouts.

As for Kristian…

There was no controlling him.

He was the kind of man who did what he wanted, no matter what anyone said.

It was a little after nine in the morning in Alerith, but one in the morning where Brendan was.

After his last call with Kristian, Brendan went to bed. He got up later, had breakfast, went about his day—and by the time everything was done, it was ten in the morning.

Back in Alerith, it was six in the evening.

Brendan checked the time, then had Freya brought up from the basement. This time, he treated her more like a guest than a hostage.

He didn’t tie her up and even offered her a seat politely.

Freya eyed him warily. “How long do you plan on keeping me here?”

“Not much longer. I’ll be taking you away soon,” Brendan replied with a charming smile. “But before we leave, there’s something I want you to see.”

Freya didn’t reply.

He handed her an iPad without explanation.

She took it, hesitant, but curious enough to look.

A live feed popped up—someone in a white shirt was sitting quietly on a beach.

The camera didn’t capture his face clearly, but Freya knew that silhouette.

“Why are you showing me this?” she asked, her voice flat.

“It seems your ex still has some lingering feelings,” Brendan said, arching a brow. “I gave him two options—either sit by the sea all night or let you soak in ice water all night. He chose the first.”

Freya frowned. So Frederick hadn’t been able to stop Kristian.

Brendan wasn’t hurting her far from Kristian—he wanted to do it close, where it would sting more for Kristian.

When he said she’d soak all night, she figured it’d probably be no more than an hour. She could handle that.

“You don’t love him anymore, do you?” Brendan asked when she stayed quiet. “Doesn’t this feel a little like revenge?”

“What’s your grudge against him?” Freya asked, going straight to the point.

Brendan’s face soured. He didn’t like the question and quickly lost interest. “That’s none of your business.”

“Natasha.”

“What?” Natasha looked up.
