Chapter 40

Chapter 40


Amelia's POV.  

“She caused it; she had blocked my path, thereby causing the coffee to pour on us,” I complained to Damien. 

Just like I had wanted it to turn out, I was satisfied seeing how my tricks were making progress in planting more confusion in the couple, a perfect pulley for causing more enormity amongst them and succeeding in my revenge. Damien turned and looked at Freya, his eyes lighted up in rage as he stared dead at Freya, ignoring her pretentious cry.

I had intentionally done everything and even got my hand injured; I know that with the cut on my finger, nobody will even consider Freya not to talk of supporting her, the whole attention will be on me, and the blame will be on Freya, a perfect smart plan with a perfect result.

“She —she is lying; she made it all up honey; I didn't do anything; she caused it all,” Freya argued, trying to prove herself innocent. She moved closer to touch Damien but he pulled away, ignoring her claims and placing the blame on her. 

“Can you shut your trap, Freya? She is bleeding, and you are claiming to be innocent,” Damien snapped, making Freya go quiet as she grumbled silently.  

Just like I had intended, the sight started to create a scene by drawing the attention of the maids as Freya fumed, trying to convince Damien that she was innocent. Just then, Luna Bella also walked into the scene, she must have heard Freya's advocating voice. Freya instantly turned to Luna Bella to table the complaint to her with teary eyes. 

“What's going on here?” Bella asked immediately. She walked into the scene, and Freya picked it up and started complaining to her.

“I didn't do anything to her queen mother; she deliberately poured the coffee on us.” Freya tried to complain first to Bella.

“Why is Maya bleeding?” Bella asked, ignoring Freya's complaint as she saw the blood gushing out of my hand. 

“My finger got cut by the broken coffee cup. I was on my way into the house when Freya showed up and blocked my path, I tried to avoid her but she made the coffee spill on our body in the process, I only wanted to pick the piece of the ceramics when she started to rain curses on me and on the process, I got cut by the piece from the broken cup”. I explained calmly, my voice innocent and calm enough to prove me innocent. 

“Why would you block her path?” Luna Bella turned and asked Freya in a serious tone. 

“I didn't do anything, Queen Mother; she was the one that poured the drink on our body,” Freya argued. 

“How could you say that you didn't cause? While it is vivid that it was your fault? You don't have any scratches on your body, but she is bleeding. Besides, Maya can't randomly get herself injured just to accuse you, Freya,” Bella snapped.  

“She caused it all, she has been hostile towards Maya, and now she got her injured,” Damien barked as he tried to clean up the injured area with the white handkerchief he pulled out from his pocket. 

“I didn't do it; I didn't do anything; why are you taking her side?” Freya cried out as tears started to stream down to her cheeks. 

I smiled inwardly and felt satisfied at the sight of her tears; she deserved it, and I will cause her more pain. I was happy to see her shade tears, and I determined to make her shade more tears, to make her pay dearly for everything she had cursed me in the feature, for making me go through hell, take my man from me, and even wanted me dead for no cause. Just as she made me pass through hell, I will make life unbearable for her.

Freya looked pitiful being battered by both her so-called husband and mother-in-law; she looked unloved in the marriage, unloved by both her husband and mother-in-law; of course, that was what it would be.

I wondered what she was expecting before? A sweet undoubtedly rosy treatment in a marriage she forced herself into, she should have known earlier that this was what it would turn out to be, so she should better stop acting up and get ready to receive more instead of acting up.

“But it was clear that you did, Freya; why would you be so unkind to our visitor?” Luna Bella questioned 

Freya seemed to have been blowing up like burning coal by the question since no one was paying any attention to her, no one had laid any blame on me, nothing even once, but she was literally scolded by both Damien and Bella. She fumed uncontrollably in rage as she tried to get both to her good side. 

“Don't you both understand?! I said I didn't do anything, she is just acting it all up!” Freya yelled in rage, holding the hem of her dress with so much force that it looked like it was going to tear. 

“shut your trap, you silly woman!” Damien barked, “You are nothing but a bag of trouble to me. You can't offer any help, yet you are hell-bent on causing harm to someone willing to help.” Damien's voice ranged as he let loose on Freya. 

“I wasn't the one…” Freya's words were cut short as Damien slammed her the second time with insults.

“What kind of a woman are you? For once can't you stay calm and think about how to be useful and responsible in your life? How can you be so dumb to treat a guest this way?” Damien's voice ranged in anger without hiding a word, he was already mad at her and could not condone her anymore. 

Freya, on the other hand, was quite speechless and confused as she stared aimlessly at Damien, who was already blazing in fury. She looked pitiful and eager to defend herself but Damien was not ready to give her that chance.

“You might gotten away with everything you have been doing, but this time around, I have no option than to put a dog like you in the chain!” Damien slammed before calling the guards to put Freya on house arrest.  

“What are you trying to do Damien!” Freya yelled at Damien as she struggled to escape the guard's hold. “Don't you dare touch me!” She yelled at the guards who had come to take her away. 

“You will be on house arrest for two days for hurting my guest, take her away!” Damien commanded the guards who were a bit hesitant to take Freya.  

“Let me go, I'm your Luna. I swear I will have you both fired when this is over.” Freya yelled and struggled to free herself from the guards. 

“Please Damien don't do this to me, don't do this to me honey” Freya cried as she began to beg Damien when she saw that the guards were not paying attention to her but Damien was already angry with her and ignored her, offering to take me to his study to treat the wound.

Luna Bella, who was watching everything, also did not counter Damien's actions; she seemed to be in support of her son. She stood there, silently watching as the guards took Freya away. 

I smiled inwardly in satisfaction as I saw Freya screaming at the top of her voice like someone had newly gone nuts; everyone looked at her like she truly was crazy. 

‘This serves you right bitch’ I smirked before following Damien to his study.

\----------

“I'm very sorry for her actions, Maya; I will not allow her to hurt you again,” Damien apologized as he tended to my wound in the most gentle way ever. He had taken it up to himself to treat my wound.

“You don't have to be sorry, it was not your fault. I just don't understand why she hates me this much. I didn't do anything to her, but she dislikes me a lot. She makes me remember how much I was. I was bullied in the past by a sister of mine, and that scares me to be around here,” I said, feigning to be hurt and crying. 

“I understand how you feel, Maya. I'm sorry about the way you were hurt in the past by this, your site,r, and I'm sorry for what she did. I just want you to know that you deserve better, and please don't let Freya's madness weigh you down, I promise not to let her treat you badly again.” Damien's sympathetic words flowed in but I didn't reply as he kept apologizing.
