When the power came back, Freya was quickly released from Jacob's arms. A few minutes of silence passed. They both couldn't sleep. "The sun will rise later. Shall we sleep?" Jacob said. "I can't sleep. There are so many questions running through my mind right now," Freya replied. She turned her back on Jacob. "Just like?" Jacob asked. Freya gently faced Jacob. "How can I believe everything you told me before we got married?" She was staring at the ceiling. "You already did it. The fact that you married me, it means that you believed what I told you." Jacob watched Freya's face. He was once again fascinated by her beauty. "It's just funny. My brain still can't process that the Jacob who got me pregnant is the curmudgeonly kid who lived next door. By the way, where's Aling Josie?" Freya said. "Did you forget? She also died in the fire accident," Jacob replied. Freya hastily turned to Jacob. When Jacob saw her staring at him, he immediately looked away. "I'm sorry. My mind almost
"Jacob, eyes on the road!" Freya said when she caught her husband staring at her again. Freya is not comfortable with Jacob because of the fear that she,herself, may ruin her plans. She had no right to fall in love again. She agreed to his conditions just because she wants to know the truth behind her son's case. She had planted in her mind that she had no one to trust except herself. After all, her life is for her son. She will not stop until she brings justice to his son's death. "Don't worry, wife. I'm good at this. We won't bump into another car," Jacob said with a smile. He couldn't stop being fascinated by the beauty of his wife. He even bought her new dresses, shoes, bags...everything that his wife deserves. He admitted that Freya was really beautiful even though she was simply dressed and even though she didn't have lipstick on her face but he also admitted that her beauty came out even more when he dressed her and glammed her up. "I said, eyes on the road," Freya repeated.
"Why do I have to meet your parents?" Jackson asked with a frown as he drove. "Tomorrow is the D-Day, Jackson. I want them to meet you beforehand," Yvette responded sparingly. She turned to Jackson. A weak smile appeared on her lips. She slowly brought her hand closer to his leg. Jackson honked the horn of his car because of Yvette's surprise. "What the fúck are you doing, Yvette?" It was obvious on Jackson's face that he was annoyed by what the girl had done. "Don't you guys like it?" Yvette said while laughing. "I agree to become your FAKE boyfriend, Yvette, but we don't talk about things like this. No touch. No séx. No commitment. You hide my secrets. I hide yours," said Jackson. "You surpassed your parents in the olden days. I am not expecting a romantic relationship with you, Jack. At least, I am expecting something. I am sure that's going to happen," Yvette said. "Yes, it does but only with Freya," Jackson replied bluntly. Yvette rolled her eyes before she looked at the c
"Have we misled them yet?" Yvette asked as she looked around. "Do you have no faith in me? That's just easy for me," Jackson answered while removing his glasses. "Hey. Anyway, are you ready to meet my parents?" Yvette's eyes were shining as she stared at Jackson. "Yes, I am excited…" Jackson answered. Yvette smiled but it didn't last long."I'm excited to meet Freya after this," Jackson added. "Let's go. I want this meeting to be over," he said as he got out of the car. Yvette still did not get out of Jackson's car.Jackson raised an eyebrow. "What are you waiting for? Why haven't you come down yet?" he asked. "Can't you even open the door for me?" Yvette said with disappointment written all over her face. Jackson scanned the surroundings. "I did not see your parents around. Why would I do that? I want to remind you that I am just your FAKE boyfriend. Maybe you forget?" Jackson said gruffly before walking towards the restaurant. Yvette rolled her eyes. She sighed. "Someday, you
"Are you sure this is where they went?" Freya asked as she looked around. "I think so. I know this place. This is where multi-millionaires and billionaires come to spend their time. Everything they need is here. This place smells like gold and diamonds. The securities here are strict. They don't let in anyone," said Jacob while wearing his glasses, cap and facemask. "Good thing you have that black card. We got in here without any difficulty. And it's a good thing, you are entitled to bring one inside because if not, I will be left outside that high gate," Freya said. She wore her leather jacket, shades, facemask and cap. She quickly got out of the car. She raised an eyebrow at Jacob who was now staring at her. "Aren't you going to come? You will just stay here?" she asked. "Yes. I mean, NO! I will go with you of course!" Jacob quickly got out of the car and closed the doors. He immediately chased after Freya. "Wife, I'm sorry," he said. "Huh? Sorry for what?" Freya asked wryly. She
Jacob quickly reached out for Freya's hand when he saw Rhea looking at him. "Now, our target will move to follow us," Jacob whispered. "What do you mean? Jackson saw us?" asked Freya. "No, but one of his companions saw me at the table. And this time, I know he's looking for us," Jacob replied. Freya let go of Jacob's hand. She stopped walking so Jacob stopped walking too. They both looked at each other. "Why should we hide from Jackson? Didn't we come here to talk to him?" Freya asked, wryly. Jacob took a deep breath. "We're not running to hide from him," he said. Freya raised an eyebrow. "We're running to take him somewhere else. There are too many people here, my wife. It's not safe to confront someone in front of those filthy rich people," said Jacob. He held Freya's hand again but his wife immediately released his grip. "You will not face him, Jacob. You just need to take him to me," Freya said. "What? Are you out of your mind? Don't you still know what my brother can do
"F-Freya?" Jackson said in disbelief. He immediately approached her and supported her. "W-What happened to you? W-Why is your face covered in bruises? Who did this to you?" he asked one after another. "H-help me, J-Jackson," Freya whispered. She acted weak. She looked Jackson in the eye. She gently looked at his hand holding her head. She held it and squeezed it. "Who did this to you?" Jackson asked. His eyes were full of concern. "Jacob. He hurt me when he found out that I escaped him because I wanted to see you," Freya answered directly. Jackson smirked. "I couldn't believe that my brother would do that to you," he said while clenching his fists. "I just ran away from him to talk to you. I was the one in the car that followed you earlier. I really want to talk to you, Jackson." Freya tried to stand up while acting like her body hurt. Jackson quickly supported her. "So, Jacob was looking for you earlier?" Jackson sighed. "Why do you want to talk to me? I heard you married him. I
Jacob quickly took his wife in the arms of his brother Jackson. His eyes were burning like hell. He couldn't bear to see the two hug each other. He knows that his wife will reprimand him after what he did but who cares? He will not wait for the lips of the two to touch before he comes out of his hiding place. "Jacob, what are you doing?" Freya whispered cautiously as she looked at the disappointed Jackson. She's not done yet. She is not yet satisfied with what she did to have Jackson's sympathy. She couldn't believe that Jacob's patience was too short. It ruined a good opportunity. "I just did what a husband should do when he sees a snake lurking around his wife," Jacob whispered. The tone of his speech was mixed with annoyance. "What's the fuss about, my dear brother?" Jackson said while poking his nose. "I thought, you are living happily with Ivana under the same roof. I was surprised that you married the wrong woman." He clenched his jaw. "You are too updated with my life MY DEA
