**We Were Thunder Pretending to Be Lovers in the Storm by Coren Elen Vey**
**Chapter 1**
Freya Hill had orchestrated an elaborate plan, sending Vanessa Yale, Felix Pearson’s mistress, to a prestigious international school, all without Felix’s knowledge. It was a move shrouded in secrecy, but Freya felt a sense of triumph—until Felix, the man everyone labeled as a ruthless CEO, erupted in fury, completely losing his composure.
The very next day, in a shocking twist, he placed their newborn twins aboard a cruise ship destined for the Arctic, a cruel ultimatum that left Freya reeling. She was forced into a desperate position, compelled to retrieve his precious Vanessa.
As Freya stood on the deck of that ship, her heart ached at the sight of her barely month-old babies. One of them was being held aloft by Felix’s assistant, dangerously close to being thrown into the icy waters below. The terror gripped her, and she sobbed, her heart fracturing under the weight of her despair.
“Honey, you’ve got three minutes to make your choice. If not, our son will meet a watery grave,” Felix’s voice was low, frigid, and laced with menace.
The first minute ticked away painfully. Freya’s mind drifted back to the five years she had spent nurturing a secret love for him. Felix belonged to one of the wealthiest families in the country, while she was merely an ordinary girl. She had chosen silence, never demanding a title or recognition, content to love him from the shadows.
As the second minute slipped by, memories flooded her mind of the time she discovered she was pregnant. The Pearson family had turned their backs on her, but Felix had not. He had taken her to the courthouse, marrying her on the spot, leaving behind the disapproving whispers of his family. They had welcomed their twins the following year, and for a moment, life had felt perfect—truly perfect.
The third minute arrived, and Freya’s thoughts turned to the night Felix had taken in his friend’s niece. On the girl’s twentieth birthday, she had witnessed it—the way Felix looked at her, a hidden love that was both painful and undeniable. It was a love that Freya had never received, and every stolen glance between them felt like a dagger to her heart, carving deeper with each passing moment.
The salt-laden wind whipped against Freya’s face, a harsh reminder of the reality she faced.
“Time’s up, honey. So, you want our kids to perish, is that your choice?” Felix’s words dripped with cold disdain.
Freya’s chest felt as though it were being crushed, each breath a struggle. She lifted her tear-filled eyes to meet Felix’s steely gaze.
“Felix, Ethan is your biological son. Are you truly threatening his life for Vanessa?” Her voice trembled, laced with disbelief.
A smirk twisted Felix’s lips. “But Vanessa is my life now.”
Tears streamed down Freya’s cheeks. So, Vanessa had become everything to him. What did that make her and their children?
“Freya, I’ve told you—there’s nothing romantic between me and Vanessa. She’s just a girl I’ve helped raise. As long as she returns, you remain my wife,” he insisted, his voice devoid of warmth.
Swallowing her hurt, Freya replied, “Felix, I refuse to believe you would actually harm our son for her. I didn’t even hurt her.”
His tone turned icy, slicing through the air. “Fine. Five-second countdown. If you don’t tell me where she is, Ethan goes into the ocean to feed the sharks.”
“Five. Four. Three…”
As Felix began to move, Freya’s resolve crumbled. “Vanessa’s at Berkshire Academy in Boston!” she cried out, collapsing to the ground in despair. He had truly dared to sacrifice their child for Vanessa.
Through her tears, she watched Felix pull out his phone, his expression frantic. “Get a helicopter here. I’m flying to Boston,” he barked, not even sparing her a glance as he focused on his device.

**Chapter 1**
Freya’s entire being shook with the weight of the moment. She saw the anxiety etched across Felix’s face—the worry, the tenderness that had never been directed at her. That unfamiliar look shattered her last defenses. Memories from a decade spent together flooded her mind.
She recalled the early days when he was building his empire, brick by brick. She had dedicated herself to the lab, tirelessly working on the breakthrough drug that catapulted Etty Group into the upper echelons of the business world. That night, he had kissed her neck and whispered, “Freya, you’re my rib—fused into my bones and blood.”
In those moments, she had believed they were on the right path. She had thought she could prove her worthiness to stand beside him. Even the Pearson family had begun to acknowledge her contributions, and their relationship had been warming over the last two years.
But then came the gut-wrenching twist: Felix fell in love with a girl nine years his junior. A girl who radiated innocence and joy, always clinging to him, her every action a call for attention.
“Felix. I want you to stay with me,” she would say, her voice filled with a childlike need.
“Felix, I don’t understand this problem. Help me,” she would plead, her eyes wide and trusting.
“Felix, you must come to my cello competition. If you don’t show up, I won’t play…”
“Felix, I really like you. I don’t want you to just be my uncle!”
While Freya’s love had been quiet and considerate, Vanessa’s was bold and passionate, a vibrant flame that drew Felix in completely. He was captivated by the little princess who thrived on attention, and he relished every moment of it.
After that, they no longer bothered concealing their affection from Freya. Their toes would intertwine under the dinner table, their hands would brush against each other in casual exchanges, and they would share kisses in the living room while Freya busied herself in the kitchen.
That stifling intimacy lingered in the air, suffocating her. But, moments later, the deafening thrum of helicopter blades sliced through the silence, jolting her back to the harsh reality of her situation.
Felix stood up without a second thought, not even glancing back at Freya as he strode towards the helicopter, desperation etched on his face as he prepared to fly to Boston.
Meanwhile, Freya could only send a barrage of frantic messages. [I told you where she is! When can the kids come back?!]
[In three hours. I only see Vanessa as my niece. Don’t misunderstand.]
Staring at Felix’s reply, particularly those last few words meant to placate her, Freya let out a hollow laugh, bitterness coursing through her veins.
Just as she contemplated shutting off her phone, another message pinged in.
[Freya, so what if I love Felix? He wants to be with me. He’s wild with me. He’s not into you anymore. You’re the one who won’t let him go.]
[Freya, Felix came to see me at school again tonight. We went to a hotel. He loved the lingerie I wore for him.]
The messages continued, graphic and unbearable in their detail, showcasing Felix’s fervor in a way that made Freya’s heart feel as though it had finally shattered completely.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, three hours passed, and her son returned to her.
In that moment, Freya felt a surge of determination. She pulled up a contract on her phone—the divorce agreement she had signed before their wedding. It was Felix’s so-called proof of eternal love, stipulating that if they ever divorced, all his assets would belong to her.
She had tucked it away in the deepest recesses of her safe, never imagining she would need it again.

With resolve, Freya sent out a message.
[I’m in. Sign me up for Ocean’s Gate.]
Ocean’s Gate represented the pinnacle of medical research teams, an elite group where the best minds from around the world converged. But there was a catch: once you joined, you were sealed away underwater for thirty years, with no chance of escape until your time was served.
Soon, she would be able to take her twins and leave this tumultuous life behind.
And Felix? He would never find her or their children again!
