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 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 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 Tito Ramon has already withdrawn the cases he filed.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 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
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
"The horoscope says, this is where I will find my forever. Where could he be? Hmmm," Freya said while patiently observing the surroundings. Today, her heart was broken because she was not chosen by the person she had loved for a long time. She went to H-Club to forget and have fun. She preferred to go to a place where she was not staying rather than sulking in the four corners of her room. “I will not waste my tears on a useless man! Did he think I was going to chase him? What am I, a dog? Tsss. If he can be happy in the company of others, well, so can I!" Freya said. While she was comforting herself, a very handsome man approached her. His eyes, nose, lips, everything about him is almost perfect! Just by looking at it, she knew immediately that he was rich. The man grabbed her goblet and directly gulped down its contents of wine. "Hey, that's mine!" Freya complained as she frowned. "Ow, sorry dear. Why are you drinking alone? Do you want me to join you? By the way, I'm Jacob ...
"Mom! I have some good news for you!" seven-year-old Yael screamed as he entered the door.Freya quickly greeted her son, Yael Anderson Gray. She loathed Jacob but still managed to name their son after him. She gave him a warm hug before she kissed him on his cheeks. She held Yael by the shoulder and looked into his eyes. His eyes, it always reminds her of him. Actually, her son is like a carbon copy of his father."Did Tita Rian fetch you?" Yael nodded in response. "Wait, what is the good news of my smart boy?" Freya asked with excitement on her face."We are going to have a grand vacation, mom!" This time, Yael hugged her mother."G-grand vacation? What do you mean, son?""I won the regional quiz bee today and my generous teacher rewarded me with these!" Yael took two vouchers and two plane tickets out from his backpack. "Look mom!"Freya looked at it with a smile on her face and took the plane tickets and vouchers of her son. Her eyes widened when she realized where they are going.
"What took you too long?" Ivana was obviously annoyed with her long-time boyfriend. "I'm sorry. I got stuck in the heavy traffic," Jacob replied. He kissed Ivana on her cheeks before he sat down. "How about what I'm asking you to do? Have the villagers agreed?" Jacob noticed that it was quiet around. He looked around. "Where are your employees here? Why are there no waiters serving? I want some wine," he said. Ivana sighed as she looked at her freshly cleaned nails. "I already sent them home. I know it will took you too long to arrive here," she said without any emotion. Jacob took a deep breath before he got the elegant red dress out of the paper bag. He walked towards Ivana's back. He hugged and kissed her like he used to do every single day. "Jacob, I'm not in the mood. Can you just go back to your seat?" Ivana said. Her eyebrows furrowed. "Babe, please don't get mad at me. Look. I bought something for you." Jacob smiled and showed the red dress to Ivana. His girlfriend loves
