"Senior, it looks like Freya and Yael had already left." Set looked around. "Ivana's father also texted, saying that Freya used to be his employee. He said that Freya and her son are from Monte Carlos," he said.Don Vandolf took the table napkin and wiped his mouth. He slowly stood up."Her eyes made me doubt her words. Set, call my private investigator. I need to confirm if she is telling the truth." Don Vandolf looked at his cell phone. Jacob is calling again. "This son of a!" He answered the call.["Papa, we are here in Manila. Have you talked to Mr. Clinton? I still can't accept his decision! Jackson stole my presentation and then he chose him over ME! It's too unfair!"]Don Vandolf took a sip of his newly served tea."His decision was final, Jacob. He explained everything to me. Accept your defeat to your Kuya Jackson. Anyway, is there any progress about what I asked you to do in the small town of Monte Carlos?" Don Vandolf asked. His eyebrows furrowed.["Dad, I do not want to go

"Papa, who is this girl you are going to introduce to me? Are you sure she can be the manager of this restaurant? Don't you want love, instead?" Jacob turned his gaze to Ivana."Dad, I mean, senior, I wish I could be the one to manage this restaurant, after all, I used to do this kind of thing. Am I right, love?" Ivana smiled as she stared at Jacob. He gave her a quick kiss on the lips.Don Vandolf adjusted his seat and looked at the two."You will be happy later. I did not call you here for that kind of thing. We are here for business!" Don Vandolf said. "As for you Ivana, you do not need a job anymore. Later tonight, my accountant will transfer my full payment for your businesses. Leave the position to someone else who needs it. Another thing, don't your mom and dad needed you in Manila? How can you focus on these businesses here if you have other businesses?"Don Vandolf's words made Ivana think."It's okay. Love, let it go. Aren't you only here for three months? You are going bac

Freya's eyes widened as Ivana suddenly sang her most cherished secret. She was about to get up to leave the restaurant when Jackson suddenly grabbed her hand. Jackson shook his head at Freya as his eyes spoke. "Calm down," he whispered.Freya took a deep breath. She tried to calm herself. She closed her eyes for a moment and then, she slowly opened her clenched hands. Her legs, which had been restless under the table, she was able to fix with Jackson's help."Senior, what? Would you agree to have a daughter-in-law with a girl who already had a child with another man?" Ivana asked while there’s a devilish smile on her cheeks."Freya, is it true? You already have a child? Since when? Why didn't you tell me that?" Jacob asked one after the other.Don Vandolf did not speak at first. He carefully observes the actions of people around him."What Ivana said was true," Freya said softly."See? I told you, senior. That girl is a useless human being!" Ivana pointed at Freya and glared. "Girl,

"Aunt Rian, do you see what I see?" Yael asked. He was looking in Jacob's direction."Yael, wait a minute! I am just looking for a coin. Mr., how much did our fares cost?" Rian asked.The tricycle driver responded but Rian did not hear it because of the volume of her cell phone. She quickly answered Freya's call."Mr., please wait. I will just talk to my friend," Rian said with a smile. She looked at Yael when he keeps on pulling her dress. "Yael, what is wrong with you?" Rian was a bit annoyed with Yael."It's daddy. He haunted me!" Yael rubbed his one eye. "Aunt Rian, can't you see him?"Rian frowned. She knows that Yael's father is alive and well and she also knows that Freya was the reason why Yael believes that his father is dead. She almost jumped when Freya suddenly spoke on the other line.["GET ON THE TRICYCLE AGAIN! GET BACK TO YAEL'S SCHOOL! YAEL'S DADDY IS HERE! PLEASE, RIAN. HE IS NOW WALKING TOWARDS YOU! THE TWO CAN'T MEET!]Yael pulled the hem of Rian's dress even more.

"Love, is there a problem? Why are you sweating? The air conditioner is already on," Ivana said."Put your seatbelt on, Love! We are about to fly," Jacob said as he focused on driving."So, there is really had a problem, love?" Ivana asked again."I... I guess so?" Jacob answered hesitantly."Did something bad happen to papa?" Ivana asked fearfully.Jacob shook his head."Then why do you hurry like this? Are you chasing someone?” Ivana was clinging to her seat as Jacob pulled the car closer and closer. "Slow down a bit, love! We might have an accident," Ivana said fearfully."Don't you trust me?" Jacob asked."I do!" Ivana replied."Then keep quiet!" Jacob said.Ivana was stunned. A few minutes of silence passed between the two of them."I am sorry! I am just really nervous about what papa said earlier. Please, love. Even just now, shut up please?" Jacob's tone of voice shows confusion and anxiety."Okay, love! I-I understand. I am also sorry ,” Ivana said bowing.Jacob and Ivana reac
