"I'm already a dying man. With the life insurance generated all our debts will be cleared and also a little will be left over to take care of our urgent needs."

Freya shook her head. "Dad please do not say such words. You and I both know it clear the reason for all your debts is entirely me." Tony hugged his daughter and wiped the wetness of his eyes. What they did not know was, there was one more person watching them - Justin Cooper.

Justin closed his eyes in deep consternation. He was marrying Freya to teach her and Tony a lesson but the million dollar question was - Was he healing himself in hurting them?

Justin was not able to identify the feelings of his heart. On one side he wanted Freya to suffer for injuring him to no recovery on the other side every drop that fell out of her eyes broke his heart to million pieces. 

Love Undefined - A saga of hate and love 

*****

The next day morning

Justin took a shower and was still in his towel when he heard his phone ring. "Sir we are calling you from Red cross hospital. We have an accident case reported here by name Freya, Freya Stiller. We saw her phone caller list and the last number received was yours. Are you by any case related to her?" Came a hurried voice.

The words fell struck in Justin's throat in an utter shock.  "Yes. She is my fiancee. What happened to her? Is she okay?" Came out the involuntary agitated voice of Justin. "Sir you have to come here and find out. I'm only the reception clerk speaking. You need to sign a few documents, so please be fast and we could start the treatment." The receptionist spoke spontaneous and ended the call.

Justin's heart was running thousand miles per hour as he drove crazy to Red Cross hospital. Within ten minutes he was at the reception introducing himself. The lady ogles at him with wide startled eyes and types his name on the computer. Obviously she was attracted to him. In normal circumstances Justin would have taken it as a welcome invitation but since Freya entered his life his interest in other woman drastically reduced.

"Madam would you please stop staring at me? It is quite uncomfortable." Justin tucked his hands in the pant pockets looking at her serious. "Could you tell me the room number of my fiancee?"

The receptionist came out of her sweet dream and mumbled the room number of Freya. Before which she handed him a document containing hospital formalities like the treatment given and to be administered on Freya. "Dr Williams, the orthopaedic surgeon is treating her. You can meet him to find out about the status of the patient. He is in room number 7, second from right." Justin nodded with a 'Thank you' and handed his card for the processing of payment. He scurried to the doctor's room in agitation.

Gulping heavy to clear the dryness in his throat he spoke worried unable to form the complete sentence. "My wife...Freya....she alright?" The gray haired doctor nodded with a knowing smile. "You love your wife beyond an estimation." He brought his glasses down on the table and looked at Justin. "She is lucky. The car didn't hit her. Freya went unconscious in the middle of the road and fell down."

The doctor looked at Justin a little surprised. "You appear to be a man loving your wife very much, then why this? Don't you know about her fragile health? You have to watch on what she eats. She is very weak. We had to administer four saline drips upon her to get her to the normalcy." He stressed on the number 'four' to prove his point.

"Sure doctor I will take care of her." Justin responded, he did not want to bother the doctor with extra information that he was yet to marry Freya. Dr Williams had already conveyed the information needed to him.

Justin's stance fell to shards as soon as he noted the resting form of Freya. She had a plaster on her wrist which was fractured and a bandage on her forehead. Luckily the accident wasn't major. Justin ran his hand on the hair of her maintaining stoical emotion but with cascading love in his heart.

Freya opened her eyes and looked at him. "It wasn't necessary to invest your valuable time on me. I'm just a deal, a recovery of bad debt you couldn't have from my father." She turned her face away from him not relishing his touch. Justin's fingers went to fist and a sharp grip on his jaw with her hostile actions but he maintained his calmness. "How did you meet with the accident?"

"I went unconscious on the street. Blackness surrounded my eyes and I fell on the road." Justin's teeth went to a chatter. "Should have tried eating directly the dinner everyday instead of skipping only breakfast. Sounds good. Isn't it?" There was a sarcasm filled with temper in his tone.

"Why does it bother you? Don't worry as long as I am alive you will recover your dues." 

"Damn it!  It is not the question of money." Justin hit the bed on which Freya was laying with his open palm making her flinch. "What would have happened if something wrong went with you?" He held her face in his hands and shouted. "Why don't you understand a simple thing that I lo..." He abruptly stopped turning around and running his hand frustrated on his neatly gelled hair.

Freya stared at his back blank and motionless. She wasn't able to understand the emotions of Justin. "Coming out of the hospital, you're going to stay with me." He tried to speak with calmness and his back continuing to face her. 

Mr Stiller along with his wife and daughter entered the room. Justin hissed and held the collar of Tony. "If you will....
