Becky's POV:

Last night, I cradled Freen close, calming her racing heart as another nightmare ravaged her mind. Her trembling subsided as she clung to me, finally finding solace.

This morning, Freen's determination surprised me. "We need to go to the office," she said, despite my concerns.

At work, I playfully teased Freen, making her blush. She saw through my distraction tactics, but her smile reassured me.

Before leaving for my dad's, Freen apologized for yesterday's abrupt departure. I silenced her with a gentle kiss.

"It's okay, baby. Don't apologize."

My next stop was Nita's, where I found her with Seng, my childhood tormentor. Nita's smirk ignited my fury.

"Why are you here?" she taunted.

"I want answers about Freen," I demanded.

Nita's venomous words sliced through me. "She's responsible for Heng's death."

I corrected her, my voice firm. "Heng took his own life. It's not Freen's fault."

Nita's twisted smile sent shivers down my spine. "Same difference. Freen ruined everything."

My heart racing, I pressed for the truth. "Why?"

Nita's voice dripped malice. "Freen exposed our bullying in college. We got punished. I'll take everything from her."

"You used Heng to get close to Freen, didn't you?" I accused.

Nita's eyes sparkled. "Yes, I did. But Freen was always so cold, so distant. She never let me in."

"Because she saw through you," I spat.

Nita's smile twisted. "No, because she was too stupid to see my interest. But I have to admit...Freen's hot. That body, those eyes...I wanted her, Becky. I wanted to make her mine."

My blood boiled. "You're sick."

Nita's laughter sent chills down my spine. "You're just jealous. You think you're the only one who can have her? No, Becky, I wanted Freen, and I'll still take her. By the way, thanks to you. I found her because of you"

My slap silenced her.

"You're finished, Nita," I warned.

Racing back home, I found Freen asleep. Sliding beside her, she snuggled closer.

"I love you," she whispered.

My heart skipped a beat.

"Love you too," I whispered back, holding her tight.
