Freda knew Jayden’s background all too well.
In her view, Jayden was nothing but a castaway from the Owen family, carrying their nas a mere facade of
authority. With a pointed finger and aggressive tone, Freda accused Elyse, “I saw you hugging my boyfriend. Is
your man not keeping you satisfied, so now you're eyeing mine?”
But with Jayden standing by her side, Elyse stood her ground fearlessly, hands on her hips. “If that’s what you
think, then showsevidence that | hugged your boyfriend. Otherwise, you're just spreading lies!”
Freda was seething, ready to retaliate, but Theo intervened, holding her back.
When Freda turned to Theo, puzzled, she said, “Don’t be scared. I've got your back.”
But Theo's eyes held no emotion as he looked at Freda. There was no gratitude for her support. To him, she was
just another face in the crowd.
“This is all a misunderstanding. Let's just call it quits and go our separate ways,” Theo suggested, his tone final.
His expression conveyed a sense of injustice, but he showed no interest in digging deeper.

He seemed to have taken a heavy blow but was unwilling to investigate further, leaving everyone with the
impression that he was a noble soul.
Elyse, looking at Theo in shock, couldn't believe how convincing his act was.
He played the innocent victim to perfection.

As the crowd dispersed, Elyse couldn't resist a jab, “Now you're playing the sympathy card?! You were clearly
scheming against me. Why not own up to it?”
Freda couldn’t stand by while Elyse took shots at Theo. She fired back, “What do you mean, scheming? Can't you
get your facts straight? What about you is worth Theo's tto schover?”
As Freda’s agitation rose, Theo stepped in to calm her down. He fixed Elyse with a serious gaze and said, “I
genuinely love you. If you don’t trust me, there's nothing more I can say. You just think I’m putting on an act.”
Elyse scoffed. Wasn't it the truth? Hadn't Theo once again proven that he'd abandon her when the going got
tough?
She could see right through Theo's facade. He lived in his little bubble, detached from reality.
But Elyse wasn’t about to be fooled.
After everything she'd been through, she knew Theo's true colors all too well.
She didn’t want anything to do with him. With Jayden by her side, she turned on her heel and walked away.
Theo, not getting the response he wanted, still attempted to follow, but Freda held him back.
“Please, don't go. Elyse is with Jayden now. She won't even spare you a glance. Let's just leave!” Freda pleaded,
her voice filled with pain.
Freda was hurting so badly. She was present when Theo attempted to force Elyse. She was aware that Theo had
meant to hurt Elyse in that situation, but Elyse’s fast thinking had allowed her to get away unharmed.
Freda couldn’t stand it when the person she liked was called a “harasser” by others, but she also didn’t want to
frElyse.
With the crowd dispersed, Freda didn’t want Theo to get caught up with Elyse again. She pleaded, “Let go. Elyse
doesn’t need you anymore.”
But Theo pushed her away impatiently, spitting out, “Don’t think helpingonce earns you any brownie points.
I've told you before, I'm not into you. So stop wasting your time!”

Freda felt like she'd been slapped in the face, her disbelief written all over her features.
Theo shot her a disgusted look, brushing past her to chase after Elyse.
Left standing there, Freda couldn't make sense of it all. What had she done wrong?
If her recent actions didn’t win Theo over, at least they shouldn't have made him detest her.
As the realization hit her, she began to laugh bitterly, a hollow sound echoing in the empty corridor. She laughed
until tears streamed down her face, collapsing against the wall in despair.
As she touched her face, it was covered in tears.
“Why, Theo? What did | do to deserve this?”
She covered her face, in tears as she was unable to contain her emotions any longer.
The corridor’s lights turned off one by one, leaving Freda alone and sobbing in the dark.
Theo caught up to Elyse as she hurried out of the concert hall.
She leaned over and gave Jayden an open kiss before he could even call her name.
His fists clenched, rage bubbling up inside him. “Elyse! Have you no shame?”
