Chapter 42"Your Highness, why did you change your mind? I thought you wanted John Vandolf Gray out of your way?" Tamahome asked with a frown. He drove Ramon after his interrogation of Jackson. Ramon was able to wait for him because he softened when he found out that Ramil was still alive."Let him live, he is a bad weed. I will torture his children first. I want him to witness what I will do to Jacob and Jackson. I know the weakness of a family man," said Ramon. He opened the window of his car and smoked a cigarette. "Drive faster, Tamahome. I want to see Ramil so badly. I want to know if he is really my brother and he’s just an impostor," he said.Tamahome looked in the rear view mirror. He saw a tear fall from Ramon's eye which he immediately wiped away."What about Aki? Is she coming home to the Philippines?" asked Tamahome."She didn't want to. She loves the States more than here. She's really afraid of being deported," Ramon answered."Don't you miss her?" Tamahome swallowed whe
Chapter 43Jacob was about to punch Set when they got to the Mayo Clinic when Freya pulled him away."Jacob, don't make a scene here. We're not in the Philippines?" Freya scolded."My fists are getting hot! It's a simple instruction, he hasn't followed it yet! Is it hard to understand that you should never leave papa, huh?" Jacob glared at Set."Ma'am Freya, don't tell Sir Jacob anything. If he wants to punch me, that's fine with me. It's really my fault," Set bowed.Freya couldn't believe what she heard from Don Vandolf's bodyguard. "Set, nothing happened to—""I understand Sir Jacob's feelings now, Ma'am Freya. I was lucky that nothing happened to the senior but what if he suddenly...my conscience can't handle that," Set said sadly.Freya tapped Set on the shoulder. "You're doing well, Set. From what I see in you, you treat Don more than a boss...a father. All of us are prone to mistakes and that's fine. The important thing is that you admitted that you made a mistake and I see you…
"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
"Give me back my ring whoever you are! Shit! This day really sucks!" Jacob said annoyingly while he was driving his car. "I am going to put you behind bars when I catch you! Thief!"Jacob drove his car faster but the speed of the tricycle he was chasing also sped up. "Damn! You are dead when I catch you!" he growled.Jacob suddenly slowed down when he remembered the reflection of the woman who got his ring in the glass door. "F-Freya?" He stopped talking and shook his head. "Is there something wrong with me? I also saw her earlier in the Supermalls. Shit! I think my conscience is haunting me! I already saw her face twice today!" he murmured.Jacob remembered the night where he and Freya had became slaves of lust and flesh. He didn't realize that he was already smiling. "I need to confirm if it's really her." He sped up his car again.The tricycle driver immediately showed his skill on driving when Freya said that she would triple her payment. She is desperate. She must avoid that man
"Good morning, ma'am and sir. Welcome to Escueza Luxury Hotel. If you need something, please don't hesitate to call us for assistance," the beautiful hotel staff greeted Jacob and Diana. Her cheeks are red because of the blush on.Diana smiled at the hotel staff. "Thank you. We will call you if we need something," she said. Her eyes were smiling too.Diana poked Jacob but he only ignored her."Welcome to Escueza Miss and Mr. Gray," the hotel manager said with a wide smile on his face."Where is Mr. Clinton?" Jacob asked. He didn't even greet the hotel manager."He is still attending a meeting but he will arrive later, Sir Jacob. For now, let us take you to your respective rooms. After that, we can tour you around if you want to," the manager said."Give us our room cards. We can now find our rooms. We have here our bodyguards to assist us. Another thing, we are exhausted. We need to take a rest first," Jacob answered frankly.After that, the Gray siblings walked directly to the locati
"So, this is Escueza! This is why papa's hands are itching to get it," Jackson said. He is Jacob's stepbrother. They aren’t in good terms. He’s in awe when he looked around the hotel."Babe, do you really need my presence tomorrow? Daddy called me. We need to make a surprise for mom's birthday," Ivana said while caressing Jackson's chest."Babe, are you avoiding Jacob? Do you still love him?" Jackson asked seriously."O-of course not! I'm not by your side now if he's the one that I love. What are you thinking, Jackson? You’re disappointing! I have exerted much efforts to accompany you here. I chose you rather than my business meetings and now? You will accuse me of something like that? You’re so annoying," Ivana said pretending to turn her back on Jackson. She smiled when he suddenly hugged her from behind."I'm sorry. You know that Jacob is my rival in the bidding, right? You also know that Mr. Clinton loves you. You won't do anything tomorrow except looking at the old man. We only n
