"Mommy, what's going on outside? Did Uncle Jackson get into a fight?" Yael asked. Freya hugged him now."Uncle Jackson was just talking to the driver who crashed his car into your Uncle Jackson’s car, son. Uncle Jackson doesn't fight, does he?" Freya replied with a smile before turning back. She waited for the driver to get off.Jackson closed his eyes tightly. He slowly opened his clenched hands."I'm just wasting my time," he whispered. He knocked on the windshield of the vehicle that crashed into his car. "Karma will take care of you. If you don't want to introduce yourself to me, that's fine. My car had comprehensive insurance. I just want to hear your reason or maybe, your apology. God bless you."When Jackson turned around, the man in the car smiled. He pressed the horn of his car for a long time, causing Jackson to look at him again."He's really running out my patience," Jackson said. "Hey, you! What is your problem? Are you losing your mind? Are you brokenhearted? If you're
"Mama, how true are you? Are you going to pull out all our investments in LNGC?” Yvette said while slowly drinking milk tea. She raised her feet on the couch. On the other hand, she is holding the latest model of iPhone."Did you buy a new phone again?" Rhea asked. She just arrived at her office. She removed her coat and hung it on the swivel chair. She sat here and turned around."I gave my iPhone to my new assistant. She deserves it and then there is a new model of the iPhone that I like. You know me, mom, O don’t want to be late, right? But what happened? Why all of a sudden, are you going to pull out our investments in LNGC? We earn a living there. Maybe our wealth will decrease if we break away from the Grays," Yvette said."Grays only provide five percent of our net worth. It will not be a loss for us if we let them go," Rhea commented. Yvette's eyebrows met. She put the milk tea on the table and sat down. "Mom, are you sure about that?" she asked."Which one, daughter?" Rhea a
“Sir Jacob, aren’t we going home yet?” Agosto asked while getting the wine bottles scattered on the floor one by one.After Jacob found out about Yael, he ran away from their mansion to drown himself in alcohol. He immediately went straight to their restaurant after he opened his eyes. He doesn’t care if there is on-going construction there.“Sir Jacob, maybe Ma’am Ivana is looking for you. You haven’t eaten breakfast yet. That’s your last drink. That’s already six bottles,” Agosto said. Jacob smiled bitterly at his personal bodyguard. He was lying on his arm while holding a bottle of wine. He still couldn’t accept that he and Freya had a child. He feels that fate has robbed him of the opportunity to be happy in the company of the woman he truly loves.“It was just a one night stand. How … how come.” Jacob drank the remaining wine straight from the bottle. When he finished it, he asked Agosto for one more but he didn’t give it to him.“Sir Jacob, that’s enough. Your face is red, even
Freya and Jackson’s body felt weak when they left the police station. They have reported Yael missing. The chief of police took the contact number of Jackson and Freya to call them when they had a lead.Freya gently sat on the bench. Jackson slowly supported her as she sat down. He put his arms around her and rubbed her back.“Don’t worry, Freya. They will also find Yael,” Jackson said. “I can’t forgive myself when something bad happens to my son. If I could turn back time, I would. I would never have left his side.” Freya’s teardrops began to fall down her cheeks again. Jackson immediately wiped it with his hands.“Nothing bad has happened, Freya. Do not blame yourself. I called my staff. They are now moving to find Yael. Stop crying, okay? Look at your eyes, they are swollen.” Jackson touched both of Freya’s cheeks. “I will do everything, just to find Yael. Your son, My nephew... my future son,” he said.Freya looked up at Jackson.“Jackson, thank you very much for everything. I’m
“Where’s your handsome fiancé?” Freya asked as she peered through the door.“And why are you asking? Are you going to seduce him just like you did BEFORE? Jeez! You are really something ... A slut, aren’t you? You are with my EX, you are still looking for my PRESENT BOYFRIEND. Tell me, Freya, are you a scavenger? You have a passion for leftovers,” Ivana said. “I did not come here to fight with you, Ivana. I need Jacob and not you. JACOB! JACOB! GET OUT OF THERE! LET’S TALK!” Freya shouted.“Hey, Girl!” Ivana pushed Freya away. Fortunately, Jackson immediately caught Freya. “Get out of here! You are not welcome in this house! Jacob will not face you because he is very angry at you. Your face is also thick, huh? You hid your son for more than seven years and then when we will be in Jacob’s quiet place, then you will be on the scene. Did you think, Freya, that I would let your family form? Huh! Keep on dreaming girl because as long as I’m alive, I will fight for Jacob. It must be clea
“Let go of my hand, Jackson. I need to talk to Jacob,” Freya said calmly.“He looks drunk. What if he hurts you?” Jackson said. He still didn’t let go of Freya’s hand. “Just talk tomorrow. Let’s go.” He opened the door of his car.Freya frowned. “Jackson, I need to talk to him. Time is running out. If Yael is with him, he can still admit that to me. That way, there is no need to sue each other. If he kidnapped Yael, I want to hear his reason or reasons for doing it.” She held Jackson’s hand while using her other hand. “Please, let me do my part as a mother. There are not enough words to describe how worried I am about Yael right now,” she said.“Okay, but let me go with you. I will not hesitate to punch his face if he dares to touch you,” Jackson said.Freya nodded. Jackson immediately released her. Freya took a step forward when Jackson suddenly spoke.“Wait,” Jackson said. Freya raised her eyebrows. “What?” she asked.Jackson quickly walked up to Freya and grabbed her right hand.“
“Set, just stay outside,” Don Vandolf said. “Alright, senior. If there’s a problem, just call me,” Set replied.Don Vandolf nodded. He knocked three times before finally entering Rhea’s office.“Welcome to my office, Vandolf,” Rhea greeted with a smile. She took her coat and put it on.Don Vandolf rolled his eyes inside Rhea’s office. “Who is your interior designer?”Rhea responded quickly. “My daughter.”“She’s great! Maybe, we can have coffee some other time. My office needs a makeover too,” Don Vandolf said.“So, what brought you here?” Rhea asked. The truth is, she already knew the old man’s intentions towards her. Don Vandolf’s face suddenly became serious. He sighed before sitting on the sofa. Rhea called her secretary and she made tea for them. “Ivana called my bodyguard, earlier. She said that you are going to pull out all of your investments to our company. Is it true?” Don Vandolf queried.Rhea stood up from her seat. She tapped her table while walking towards Don Vandolf
“Why are you looking for your son in me?” Jacob asked.“My son?” Freya laughed out loud. “If you think I’m going to bite your show, you’re wrong. Admit it Jacob. Where did you take Yael?” Freya’s eyes were glaring at Jacob. “She’s insane,” Ivana whispered.“Don’t get involved in our conversation, Ivana. Can you please, shut your mouth? My mind had run away from me today, so if I were you, I would just go into the room and sulk there,” Freya said bravely.Ivana’s eyebrows met. “What’s wrong with her?” She went up to reach Jacob’s ear and whispered to him. “Love, let me leave you first. I don’t want my beauty to be ruined by those two,” she said.“Alright, love. I’ll take care of it,” Jacob said. He kissed Ivana on the forehead before she left and went to their room.“Jacob, please admit it. I can even forgive you if you confess right now. Where did you take Yael?” Freya pleaded.Jacob spat and put both of his hands on his waist. “I really don’t understand what’s going on, Freya. Why a
EndingFREYA'S POVA week after Jacob proposed to me, we immediately flew to Balesin Island for a vacation. We have been here on the island for two days and I can say that it is really beautiful here. Yael, Diana and Hulyo are with us. Papa couldn't come because he had a schedule for a check-up in Florida. Mommy Rhea and Daddy Ramil are busy in doing island hopping activity in El Nido. It looks like I will have a younger sibling soon. Kidding aside, I'm happy for my parents. I can feel their overflowing love for each other.Jacob booked the whole Costa Del Sol. As explained by the staff, Costa Del Sol means "coast of the sun". It features Spanish colonial architecture with arched thresholds, stucco walls, and manicured courtyards. There are six casas in it – Estepona, Fuengirola, Malaga, Marbella, Ronda , and Torremolinos. Diana and Hulyo stayed at Casa Marbella. We are now at Casa Torremolinos. Wherever Casa we're in, we can still have a picturesque view of the Pacific Ocean.I turne
Chapter 72"Yael." Freya ran to her sleeping son and kissed him on the forehead. Abundant tears flowed from her eyes as she watched her son with a smile. "Son..." She was about to wipe her tears when Jacob suddenly wiped her with the handkerchief he was holding. She looked up at Jacob. "Thank you," she tried to say."She's still mad." Jacob murmured as he smiled.Freya heard that but ignored it. She caressed Yael's hair and stared at his son’s face again as he slept soundly."Son, I'm sorry. I'm sorry if I left you in the car that day. If I hadn't left you, all the things you experienced wouldn't have happened to you. Forgive mommy." Freya kissed Yael again on the forehead. "I'm also sorry if they made me believe you were dead. I'm sorry if I didn't even find you. Son, mommy is just starting to look for you but God gave you to me right away. He's so kind, isn't he? Even though I forgot to pray , went to church, asked for forgiveness for my wrongdoings...He still loves me. I don't know
Chapter 71**P-Pop music playing**One of Jacob's hands gently held Freya's hand as he drove towards where Yael and Diana were. They have already visited Jackson and are now currently being watched by the police."Do you still plan to file a case against Kuya Jackson? Tito Ramon has already withdrawn the cases he filed. I'm just asking because there are policemen guarding outside his room." Freya glanced at Jacob's face. She didn't speak for several minutes.Jacob questioned his wife back "If you are asked, will you still sue him? What he did had a bigger impact on you because you witnessed Yael's growth. You've been together through ups and downs. Whatever you decide, I am going to respect it.” He tightened his grip on Freya's hand."I will think about it. Right now I'm still a bit confused. He did everything to save me but he also did everything to harm our son. Let me weigh it." Freya removed her hand from Jacob's grip but her husband immediately grabbed it as well.A few minutes o
Chapter 70"Who are yo—" Freya's eyes widened when Ramon hugged her. She tried to remove his embrace but she couldn't let go."Thank God, you're safe!" Ramon closed his eyes while hugging Freya.Freya glared at Jacob who now wasn't even complaining that there was another man, worse, an older man who was after her. "Excuse me. Who are you?" she asked after she got out of Ramon's embrace."I'm sorry, Freya. I was just too happy. Do you really not remember me?" asked Ramon.Freya frowned. "I don't think so," she said.Ramon smiled."Wait! You look familiar!" Freya thought."I'm your Tito Ramon! I'm the brother of your Father Ramil," Ramon said directly.Freya's eyes widened. She brought her eyes closer to Ramon's face. Later, she was jumping when she confirmed that he was indeed his Tito. "My God! Tito Ramon! I didn't recognize you right away! I mean, look at you now! You're a well-established man! How are you? You've been gone for a long time! I've been looking for you for a long time s
Chapter 69Uno and Dos hid Freya behind them. They went to the building together and thought of surprising their boss."Those smiles of yours are scary, Uno and Dos. You're giving me false hope." Jacob forced himself to stand on his own two feet. He freed himself from the grip of Setyembre and Hulyo."Why are you crying, your majesty?" Uno asked.Jacob smiled and looked up. Fortunately, it is raining. His tears were not obvious but because of his broken voice, Uno and Dos knew that he was crying."Who says I'm crying? I'm not weak," Jacob said."Your majesty, people who cry are not weak. When did crying become the basis of being strong? It's okay to cry when the pain is too much... when the problems are piled up. It's one of our ways to release stress, pressure, anger, disappointments and even prayers at the same time. Crying in front of other people does not diminish our masculinity either," said Uno.Jacob glanced again at the other building that was still being consumed by fire. He
Chapter 68**Before the bomb went off**"What are you planning to do?" Jett asked as he glared at Rhea.Rhea quickly moved away from Freya. She swallowed one after another. "I'm just checking her. She's my daughter. Is it now a crime to check up on her? Besides, your boss will also release her, it's time for me to go with him to another country. Is there any problem?" Rhea said, without even blinking.Jett smiled and then nodded. "I see." He walked up to Jackson and whispered, "I'm done playing. Let's end this game."Jackson sighed and smiled.Freya and Rhea looked at the two in wonder."Did you get it?" asked Jackson."Yes…Kuya Jackson," Jett replied.Freya and Rhea's eyes widened at what they heard."What's happening?" Rhea asked."That Jett, called Jackson his brother," Freya murmured."They are siblings?" Freya and Rhea asked loudly as their eyes widened at each other.Jett helped Jackson to stand on his feet. "Our secret is now out," he said.Jackson walked up to Freya and remove
Chapter 67"Finally, Rhea and I will be able to start a new life in another country. We will try to have a child again. I will get treatment again." Ythan looked at his watch. "Twenty minutes is about to end." He got the two suitcases he had been carrying since he kidnapped Freya. One suitcase contained Rhea's belongings while the other contained his belongings.Ythan knows how to operate a helicopter. He checked everything first and when he was sure there would be no problem, he tried to turn it on."Great! Now, we can fl—" Due to the adrenaline rush, Ythan was able to fly the helicopter in the air. His hands were shaking while operating his private helicopter. He quickly landed the helicopter on the helicopter pad in the other building. He quickly got down from there. His tears rolled down his face as he knelt down. "R-Rhea! N-No! It can't be"Ythan quickly checked his pants pocket. His eyes widened when he realized that the remote control of the bomb he placed in the room where Jac
Chapter 66"Twenty minutes, Rhea. I'm giving you twenty minutes to talk to your daughter. After that, I will release her on the street, and you will come with me. Don't try to fool me or else... we will all be buried six feet underground," Ythan warned.Rhea bit her tongue to stop the bad words she wanted to say to Ythan. Her gaze shifted from his face to the remote control she was holding. 'Is there a bomb in this building?' she thought. She turned her eyes around to look for the bomb but she didn't see it."Twenty minutes start now!" Ythan said. "Jett, keep a good eye on them," he instructed before finally leaving the room. Jett bowed in agreement to his boss’ command.Rhea was looking angrily at the door that had just closed. Her hands that had been clenched suddenly opened when she felt Freya was holding her. A series of tears immediately fell from her eyes. She quickly turned to face Freya and hugged her tightly."I'm sorry, my child. We met in this situation. Mother misses you s
Chapter 65"Go down and fetch her," Ythan ordered his crew, Jett Jamison. He killed all his traitorous men and he was the only one left among the pioneers. He was smiling as he watched Rhea on the current CCTV footage. She knocks on the door while looking around."Yes, your majesty. Are you sure he didn't bring anyone or the police?" asked Jett."I know my wife. She can't sacrifice the lives of the people she loves. I can assure you that she came here alone. If she is with someone, you know what to do. We can't fight the police because there are only two of us. We will need to go if it happens." Ythan clenched his hands. "The bomb has been activated. It only means that they have killed all my men!""Alright, your majesty. I'm going to see your wife," said Jett.Jett was about to walk towards the door when Ythan suddenly spoke. “Have you prepared what I said to prepare?" Ythan asked."Yes, your majesty. Your private helicopter is on standby...just in case," Jett replied."Good. Now, g
