Unwanted Her

Prologue

Author's Pov

Hands joined, eyes closed and lips moving in a slow rhythm as she recited her prayers silently. Peace, that's what she felt whenever she came to this place, even though God has given her a luxurious life any man would die to get but the peace this place provided her each time could never be compared to any other luxury of this world.

Sighing blissfully she unfolded her deep blue eyes letting them fall on the statue of Jesus as she thanked him infinitely times for providing her the life she had gotten without asking for it. She felt a light pat over her head making her tilt her head up like a curious kitten.

A small smile cracked up on her lips finding the man that was always there to provide her the warmth of a brother even though he wasn't her blood related but their bond said something else. Carefully standing up from the kneeling position she smiled at him.

"Good morning, Evan." She greeted him and he reciprocated right away withdrawing his hand from her head.

"Morning princess, dad informed me about your arrival." She nodded in acknowledgment.

"Yes I just met him a while ago, but where is he?" Freya questioned looking around the church trying to find his father but he was nowhere to be seen, her curious eyes broke away from looking here and there hearing a soft chuckle.

"He had some work at home so he called me to come here in his absence, and fortunately you are here so I wouldn't be bored." She chuckled at his words.

"You still don't want to follow in your father's footsteps? " Evan sighed shaking his head confirming his rejection.

"I don't want to be a priest Freya, My dream is completely opposite of what my father does, I want to earn money and start my own business, I want to become successful so I could give my father relaxed life ahead." Freya instantly understood his turmoil and gave him support by warmly touching his shoulder with her small hand.

"I believe in you, one day you will be really successful I have a faith in you." She declared with a proud tone making the man in front of her smile widely at her proclamation, she knew how to put smiles on others' faces.

Evan's father wasn't a priest till he reached the age of 30, he married Evan's mother before following the religious path and that was after he lost his wife, Evan was only 5 years old when both father and son lost their mother, and wife in an accident. The accident gave Evan's father a new life and he decided to devote it to the one he had a faith in.

Evan's father wanted his son to follow his footsteps and become a priest but Evan refused, even though the young man had always been an ethical and religious being but he didn't want to become a devotee of God, he wanted to achieve a lot in his life and being an understanding father he didn't force his decisions on his son and eventually let Evan pursue his dream.

Freya and Evan met in this church, Evan sometimes stayed behind to look after the Church whenever his father had to do some work, and one day left surprised when he was looking after the place he witnessed an innocent fragile girl crying her heart out in front of her God, Evan couldn't stop himself from feeling empathic towards her and went near.

He kneeled beside her and consoled her with his sweet comforting words, they both that day grew a strong bond and they didn't even notice when their simple friendship turned so strong to the extent that they became unbreakable. Evan grew to admire Freya watching her trust in God and devotion to her one and only fiance.

Yes, she had a fiance, but she never shared much about that anonymous guy with Evan except his name and what their relationship was, he had asked her many times if she ever talked with her fiance but her answer was always negative. Her devotion and love for that unknown man sometimes surprise him.
