"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
"You look gorgeous in your dress, Yvette." Rhea plastered a fake smile."Thank you, mom. Who else can I inherit from?" Yvette was having fun with her Mama Rhea. "Did you change your perfume?" she commented."Doesn't it smell good?" said Rhea."Mama, I bet it smells better than before. The smell of your stuff is stronger now," Yvette replied."It made me think that it's been too long since I've changed my perfume. I've become too comfortable with what I use. Sometimes because we're so complacent, we miss out on other things." Rhea took a goblet with champagne from the waiter. "Thank you for this," she said while drinking."A-Are you okay, mom?" Yvette asked with a frown."Y-YES, I'M FINE. Wait, where is your boyfriend?" Rhea looked around. She pretended to be looking for Jackson but the truth is, she was looking for Jacob."He's still not here, mom," Yvette replied."Oh okay. Call me when he's here. I'll talk to our other guests first." Rhea placed the serving plate brought by the wait
"Yvette, the party is about to start. What are you doing here in the kitchen?" Rhea asked as her eyes roamed around the area.Rhea was looking for her daughter and husband. They are both missing in the party hall. She already knew that his husband had a strong desire for his daughter. When her eyes darted on the broken goblets and on the broken bottle of champagne, her eyebrows furrowed."What happened here? Did someone hurt you?" Rhea asked worriedly. She immediately approached Yvette to check if she was okay. She couldn't stop herself from doing that. She loathes her daughter and her husband but there's still a part of her that cares for them."I'm fine, mom. There was just a cat that broke the glasses and a bottle of champagne. I'll get going," said Yvette in a cold tone. She left the room without even looking at her mother. She's hurt and she has no time to pretend that she's not.Rhea smiled as she looked at the floor. "I don't believe her. Something happened here," she said whil
"You always set my heart on fire, wife. I have never seen anyone as gorgeous as you are," Jacob uttered right after he saw Freya. He dropped the magazine he was holding and immediately stood up from the couch. His mouth fell open as he looked carefully at the entirety of his wife.Freya's cheeks flushed immediately. She bowed before she spoke, "I-Is this o-okay? Am I wearing it well?"Jacob just nodded as he didn't realize that he was kneeling in front of his wife. "I can't take my eyes off of you. The word stunning is not enough to describe you now. You are like a real goddess!"Jacob's stylist and make-up artist are stroking while listening to the couple's conversation. They can't help but want to go all in on both."The two of them are perfect, aren't they? It's like a prince and princess in a movie! I feel jealous! Where is my Jacob?" said the stylist."You're right, 'Te! I'm jealous too. It is so obvious in their eyes that they really love each other! Maybe, when Miss Freya conce
"Jacob." Freya took a glance at her husband."Oh? You're awake, wife. We're almost at Marcus' mansion. By the way, I bought you some medicine and vitamins, as well as fruits. It's in the back of the car. When you feel something bad, just let me know. Okay?" Jacob whistled when he saw the big gate of Marcus' house."Regarding what I heard earlier when we were still at the hotel...""Don't mind it, wife. Diana and I were just joking while talking on the cell phone," Jacob excused himself."But you didn't sound like you were making jokes," Freya said."It's half-meant, wife. You can be a multi-billionaire heir because I'm your husband. I am one of papa's heirs, right?" Jacob still doesn't want to tell the truth to his wife because it's not the right time. He has one more important mission and that is to force Rhea not to proceed with the pulling out of all their investments in LNGC. He didn't know why she changed her mind again and threatened them to make such a move. He thought their c
