"Dinner date later…with Jackson and senior?” Freya asked in shock while wiping her hair with a towel."Aha! You heard it right," Jacob replied. He read articles in the newspaper."If your papa called you earlier, I am sure Jackson already talked to him." Freya combed her hair and walked to her drawer to get the blower."I don't think so. He didn't mention anything to me about that." Jacob took a sip of coffee. He is still reading."What were you talking about while I was taking a shower?" Freya asked curiously."You are also a Marites (a term for a gossiper in the Philippines), right?" Jacob said jokingly."Sometimes when I am interested in something." Freya looked at Jacob in the mirror."Papa reprimanded me. He said I got married without even inviting them. He wants us to have a second wedding and another child.” Jacob was about to drop the newspaper he was holding when Freya's voice suddenly got louder."WE CANNOT HAVE A SECOND MARRIAGE AND EVEN MORE… I WILL NOT ALLOW US TO HAVE A
"What? Are we just going to stare at this? The food is getting cold. Eat now!" said Don Vandolf as he watched Freya, Jacob and Jackson. "Set, get some air first," he ordered. Set immediately left because he knew the Grays had something important to discuss.Freya took the food first. While she was choosing food to put on her plate, she took turns watching the siblings. Based on their gazes, she could imagine that something like a light from a lightning bolt was connecting the two. She secretly kicked Jacob's leg under the table causing his eyes to shift to her."I'm sorry, wife. I know you don't like who I'm staring at. Don't be jealous, okay? He's not my type," Jacob said with a smile.Jackson smirked. "Looks like a fool," he whispered."Repeat what you said, Jackson," Jacob said angrily.Jacob and Jackson both looked at Don Vandolf when he slammed the table hard."We're having our dinner! If you want to punch each other, YOU ARE FREE TO LEAVE MY HOUSE!" Don Vandolf yelled.Freya gul
"I thought you're best of friends," said Don Vandolf while glancing at Diana and Freya.Freya owes Diana a lot. She was kind to her and her son but she didn't think she belonged to the Gray family. Somehow, she felt betrayed."Papa," Diana murmured."Why, hija? You helped her a lot. First, you gave her a check worth one hundred thousand pesos. Second, you also helped her to avoid your Kuya Jacob and third, you two ruined the engagement party of Ivana and Jacob ," said Don Vandolf. The vein in his neck sprang up. He is angry with his unica hija because of what he found out the day before she returned from another country."How did you know about that, papa?" Diana asked while she was in a state of shock.Freya's head twitched slightly. The first and second words of her father-in-law were true. What she didn't understand was the last thing he mentioned."Senior," Freya stopped for a while. "Papa, what do you mean by the last thing you said? Diana and I ruined Jacob and Ivana's engagemen
"Papa, what's wrong? Is something missing? Why are you so angry?" Jackson asked one after the other after he grabbed his papa before he lost his balance."Papa, are you okay? Are you drinking your medicines? Looks like you're hallucinating again, papa," said Jacob while calling Set to get his father's medicine."What's hallucinating? Papa doesn't have a brain disease!" Jackson asked."STOP FIGHTING!" Don Vandolf shouted loudly which surprised the brothers. "You'll even beat my roosters before when you collide and argue! You're getting old but you still don't know anything! Are you really my children? You're not acting like a Gray before me!" He grabbed Jackson's hands and stood up quickly."What just happened, papa? Why are you suddenly wasting your cell phone? Why are you screaming all of a sudden? If you look at me, it's like you want to kíll me!" said Jacob."It's just a prank. I want to know how you will react," replied Don Vandolf while patting his coat. "Go back to your seat," h
"WHAT? NO! THERE'S NO WAY I WILL MARRY THAT BRAT!" Jackson objected when what his father and brother were talking about sank into his brain.Don Vandolf smiled broadly. "And the real challenge begins," he whispered."Fine. If you don't want to marry Yvette, you should brace yourself. Can you be poor? I can because that's where I come from, right? I bet you can't survive in a tiny room without any ventilation ," said Jacob.Don Vandolf raised his eyebrows. "That was a great move. He knows his brother's weakness," he whispered."Do I really need to do that? Can't LNGC survive without them?" Jackson asked."As I said earlier, we have no choice but to marry one of you to the heir of the Marcus family. Let's not argue here. I know and you know that the La Niños Group of Companies will collapse without the investment coming from them. " Don Vandolf stood up. "It's up to you to talk. You are the only thing I'm worried about. I'm about to disappear from this world and I can't bring my foundat
"Freya, wait for me! I need to tell you something. Please, listen to me first,” Diana pleaded as she ran towards her sister-in-law.Freya ignored Diana's shout and continued walking. She felt that she had played with her. Is that why she was kind to her because she was the reason why Jacob didn't find out about their son? She was even more resentful when she found out that she had monitored Yael's growth. It turns out that their first meeting at the mall then and the ones that followed were no coincidence. She was sure that Diana had planned it."Freya, stop walking! I'm sorry! I'm sorry if I kept it a secret from you that I am a Gray! I'm sorry if I hid from Kuya Jacob about Yael! I'm sorry for everything! Please, hear me out. I have my reasons!” Diana shouted with all her might as she was still chasing Freya. She was almost out of breath. She didn't know that she was walking fast. She's still wearing high heels now.Freya was almost at the gate of the mansion when she suddenly stopp
"Papa, why did you invite Jacob Anderson Gray?" Yvette said loudly when she suddenly entered her Papa Ythan's private room in their mansion."He is a Gray. What do you expect? I can't just send invitations to Jackson and Don Vandolf alone. I am not degrading illegitimate children, Yvette. I can just adopt you, but you will become the star of the party later, right? ," Ythan laughed while adjusting his necktie."I don't know if you are going crazy or if you are planning something. Do you know that Jacob is married to Mama Rhea's daughter?" Yvette threw the newspaper on her father's table.Ythan raised his eyebrows. "So? What about it? Rhea already believed that that girl was not her daughter. I even put some skeleton on Freya's coffin before your mom dug it up. Fortunately, my men had sharp ears. They have learned about Rhea's plan immediately. They had warned me. How about you? You have done nothing but question my decisions!" he snorted.Yvette laughed out loud. "And you are complace
While the make-up artist was fixing Freya, Jacob simply went out to call his sister, Diana."Are you and Freya now on good terms?" there was a tone of concern in Jacob's voice.["Don't worry. We're fine. I'm on my way to the party."]"We're still here at the hotel. I'm giving my wife an overall makeover. Are you really okay? Did the two of you talk about your misunderstanding?" said Jacob. He took the vape out of his pants' pocket and looked at it.["We have talked. I told him that Kuya Jackson was the one who abducted Yael."]"What? Why did you say that?" He put the vape in his pants pocket but immediately took it out.["She deserves to know the truth, kuya. I know you don't want Freya to be in danger but since you also told her that Kuya Jackson killed her parents, what else are you afraid of? She's going to get her revenge anyway."]Jacob walked away from the door and whispered, "Did you also say Yael is still alive?"["No. I want you to tell her that, yourself. Also, her attention
