The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday novel Chapter 131

When Kieran lunged forward, Freya braced herself and pushed against him with her arms.

Kieran winced in pain, and Freya took the opportunity to shove him away, immediately creating distance between them.

After regaining his composure, Kieran's face darkened as he accused, "Freya! Did you hit me again?"

"Yeah, I slapped you!" Freya shot back defiantly, "Kieran, are you deaf or something? I told you I'm done playing these games with you. Why are you still bothering me?"

By this point, Kieran's expression was sour, but Freya pressed on, "And let me tell you, if it weren't for you threatening me with the Dawson Group, I wouldn't be wasting my time here with you. I don’t love you. So, back off!"

"Freya, don't make me force your hand!" Kieran had intended to teach Freya a lesson, but still aching from the shove and seeing her defiant stance, he spat out coldly, "So, you say I'm using the Dawson Group to threaten you? Fine, consider it a threat. From now on, you better follow my orders or the Dawson Group will be doomed."

With that, Kieran turned and left Freya's room.

Freya scrunched her face, confused by Kieran's late-night drama. She wondered if maybe Kieran was just blowing off steam after a fight with Eloise.

So, Freya ignored Kieran's threats and headed straight to school the following morning.

When Kieran got up, he found no breakfast prepared by Freya, which only fueled his anger.

"Who made breakfast today?" he demanded.

"The housekeeper, Mr. Sutton. Is there something wrong with it? I can make something else..." the housekeeper offered.

"Where's Freya?"
