Chapter 29

Chapter 29
They finished getting ready and headed to the airport.  Sometimes Hendrik and Alan would discuss certain things on the plane,  things they spoke about away from Freya. She imagined they didn't want her to hear certain information or orders for her own safety and  that Hendrik was afraid of what she would  think. 
The flight went smoothly,  this time Hendrik behaved, with only occasional affection.  When they landed, it was already evening.  Hendrik had said they would stay at the apartment he had, as there would be a meeting in the morning, and it would save time. 
They were heading to the apartment when Freya remembered that her phone was still on airplane mode.  She took it out and received a barrage of messages.  There were messages from Wilhelm and missed calls from him and  the hospital,  messages from other colleagues as well. 
Freya became apprehensive and started reading the messages. At that moment, Hendrik received a call, listened to what the other person said, and  looked at Freya.  Freya's expression had already changed.  Hendrik thanked the person and hung up,  then called out to Freya. 
Freya looked at him with tears in her eyes. " Please, we need to go to the hospital.  Like right now!"
Hendrik took Freya to the hospital, Anika had been run over and was badly injured.  Freya stood by her bed, holding her friend's hand. She had already checked with the other doctors about Anika's condition,  and  Hendrik had offered his assistance, whether it be a transfer or financial support .
Hendrik knew that Anika was special to Freya,  and she was willing to do anything for her. Wilhelm was on duty there,  and whether he liked it or not, Freya had to talk to him about Anika.  This time, Hendrik  didn't disguise his dangerous look towards Wilhelm,  and  Wilhelm was not foolish either.  Hendrik was known to be Hendrik Falken, the boss of one of the most dangerous mafia gangs in the city and even the whole of the country. Wilhelm couldn't understand how Freya got involved with a man like him. The Freya he knew, always following procedures, rules, and peacefulness, would never be in a relationship like this. He had no idea why Freya would be with a man like that. The only possibility would be that Freya was being threatened or blackmailed by him.
Hendrik managed to  convince Freya to leave the hospital.  It wouldn't do any good to stay there, and he promised that in the morning,  he would ask Alan to accompany her to the hospital again. Before leaving,  Freya  asked Wilhelm to call if there was any changes in her condition. 
Wilhelm noticed the difference in Freya,  she was colder towards him and didn't have the same  look when she glanced at him. After  Freya  left, Wilhelm went to get a coffee,  he had to saty awake for his shift that night.
As Wilhelm was returning,  he was  pulled into a room. He was pushed against  the wall, his mouth  covered, and a gun was pointed at his head.  A man emerged from the darkness of the room. "Hello, doctor. Do you remember me?" Wilhelm nodded,  confirming.  " We need to have a conversation,  so this kind  and gentleman would remove his hand from your mouth, and if you scream, you die. Understand?"  Wilhelm confirmed again. 
The man Wilhelm saw was Tobias, and he had no idea why this man was after him, considering he had saved one of his men's life when he was shot.
Hendrik and Freya arrived at the apartment.  Freya  was amazed by the place, it was beautiful and luxurious. Hendrik knew she was tensed because of Anika and tried to comfort her. " Hey, everything will be okay, okay?" Hendrik  hugged her, and that hug meant a lot to Freya. 
Hendrik showed Freya the apartment and his room. Freya  asked where she would sleep,  but she knew that Hendrik wouldn't let her sleep in a separate room. Everything was very comfortable and spacious, and Freya just wanted to take a shower and rest. The next day. She would go to the hospital in the morning. 
Hendrik filled the bathtub and called Freya to take a bath, knowing that a massage during the bath would go a long way. The two got into the bathtub, and Hendrik gave her a massage,her shoulders were tensed. " Hendrik, do you think what happened to Anika was really an accident? Or does Tobias have something to do with it?" Hendrik stopped his hands as soon as he heard the question.  He wasn't sure yet, but he had already ordered an investigation, and  he didn't doubt that Tobias would be capable of doing something like this.
" I honestly don't know, but I will investigate, and if this has anything to do with him, it will be one more thing added on the list that I intend to collect from him." Freya smuggled into Hendrik's chest and held her hands around  his waist, needing to feel safe with that embrace. 
They spent a while in that bath,and then Hendrik asked for something to eat. He didn't feel like cooking, and Freya needed attention.  He received a call from  Sasha that he answered away from Freya,  although Freya didn't care anymore. She knew that whenever Hendrik stepped away to answer a call, It was related to his mafia duties, and he didn't want her to overhear.
The food arrived. They had dinner, drank a glass of wine, and went to sleep.  Hendrik, as usual, couldn't sleep the whole night, but this time, he didn't get up . He didn't want to wake Freya up from sleep. 
In the morning, Hendrik woke up before her, made coffee, and woke her up. Hendrik had to leave early,  do he told Freya to have breakfast and Alan would take her to the hospital  and that he would try to have lunch with her today, buy he wasn't sure if it would  work out.
Hendrik gave Freya a goodbye kiss and left. Freya got up, took a shower, and went downstairs for breakfast.  Alan was downstairs waiting for her. Freya said good morning and went to the kitchen, offering coffee to Alan  but he declined. 
Freya was bothered by the colder way Alan treated her and decided to speak up. " Why don't you like me?" Alan was surprised by Freya's question but answered,  " It's not that I don't like you, I don't just like the idea of you being  a weak point for Hendrik. I consider him a  brother to me, and I don't want to see him hurt again because of 'these' feelings you claim to have for him."
