Chapter 53

 "WHAT? WHY DID YOU JUST SAY IT NOW?" Jacob shouted furiously.
 ["I'm sorry, Sir Jaco–"]
 "SORRY AGAIN? SET! YOU KNOW DAD'S CONDITION IS NOT THAT GOOD! WHY DID YOU LET…WHERE ARE YOU? I'LL COME TO YOU RIGHT NOW!" Jacob's vein almost comes out of his neck. He is holding his hair. His eyes were filled with worry.
 ["We're about to board a plane—"]
 "FÚCK! WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL ME IMMEDIATELY?" Jacob punched the air.
 ["Senior said that he will be the one to call you."]
 "And you believed it? Damn! I'm going to the Mayo Clinic. I'm going to talk to papa's doctor. After that, I'll follow you right away in the Philippines. Never leave papa, Setyembre! You know how I transform when I get enraged," said Jacob.
 ["Don't worry, Sir Jacob. I will take care of senior."]
 "Just make sure, Set! Make sure!" Annoyed, Jacob hung up the call. "Papa is so stubborn!" He quickly answered the call when suddenly his cell phone rang. "PLEASE TELL ME THAT YOU MISSED YOUR FLIGHT!" he said, hopefully.
 ["Your Majesty."]
 Jacob looked at his cell phone’s screen. He breathed deeply. "How are you? Is there a problem?" he asked.
 ["Bad news."]
 "Another shit!" Jacob whispered. "Tell it right away. I can't afford to waste my time," he said.
 ["Sir Jackson has escaped from prison–"]
 "WHAT?" Jacob was almost deafened by what he heard. His eyes widened. He was stunned for a moment. His wife immediately entered his mind. He was immediately worried about Freya.
 ["According to the news, there was a disturbance inside the cell. It is said that Sir Jackson was almost stabbed. Sir Jackson quickly got some favor of the strongest prisoners there. He also bribed two policemen to help them escape. What's worse is that you are the ones he suspects of wanting to kill him."]
 Jacob ran to his car and quickly drove back to the hotel. "Locate my wife. Call me if you see her. Let's meet when I came back." He ended the call. "Shít! It's not Friday the 13th but why all of this happened? Tangína!"
 While Jacob was driving along the highway, his cell phone suddenly rang. He frowned when he didn't recognize the number calling. He ignored the call until the caller voluntarily ended the call. He focused on driving but only a few minutes later he got another call.
 "Why are so many people calling me today? It's too fuckiNg late," said Jacob as he pressed the accept button. He waited for the person on the other line to speak.
 ["Jacob, are you with our daughter?"]
 'Is that Rhea Marcus?' thought Jacob. He still did not speak and pointed out the speed of his driving.
 ["Jacob, this is Rhea Marcus. I know you already know I'm Freya's mother. Are you with her now? I want to talk to her. We want to talk to her."]
 'We? Don't tell me…'
 ["Jacob, please. If you're with her now, please give her the phone. We can't contact her. She's out of reach."]
 Jacob parked his car on the side of the road.
 "Tita, I'm not with her today," Jacob finally spoke. "Are you crying?" he asked when he heard her sobs..
 ["My husband and my brother-in-law just rescued me. My shameless husband, Ythan Marcus, locked us in the very basement of our mansion."]
 Jacob's mouth fell open. "Are you guys okay? Did Ythan hurt you?" Jacob asked worriedly.
 ["I'm okay now. Ythan is now in the police custody as well...my daughter Yvette was taken to the hospital. She's bleeding and she's not talking. She was just dumb when we got out of the basement."]
 "She got traumatized. That Ythan is really a demon," Jacob said angrily. "On the other hand, I'm glad that you and Tito Ramil are together now."
 ["Thank you, hijo. Where is my daughter? Why aren't you together? Did you two fight?"]
 "No, tita. She went back to the Philippines first," answered Jacob. He revved the engine of his car again and drove fast again. "Tita, I'll call you when I get in touch with my wife. I'm in a hurry. I'm going home to the Philippines now. I'm the only one left here in Florida," he said.
 ["Alright, hijo. Be careful. By the way, call Hulyo."]
 Jacob's eyebrows met. 'Why does she know about my sister's husband?’'
 ["He just called us. They say Yael is with them. We're on our way to their location. We're just fixing something here."]
 "Tita, I have something to ask? How did you meet Hulyo?" Jacob asked.
 ["Hulyo is a friend of mine."]
 "Tito Ramil?" Jacob guessed when suddenly a man spoke from the other line.
 ["I'm Ramon. Ramil's older brother."]
 "I see. Go ahead. Let's meet in the Philippines." Jacob hung up the call. He will call Hulyo. "Finally! I also received good news!" he said smiling. His tears rolled down his cheeks. "Yael, my son. Daddy will make it up to you when I arrive in the Philippines. I promise. Your daddy will make you happy...every day...as long as I can see the world."

 "Tita, how is grandma? What happened to her? Why did she lose consciousness?" Yael asked tearfully.
 Diana held Yael's hands and sat in front of him. "Don't worry, sweetie. Her condition is not that bad. The doctor said fatigue and malnutrition are the reasons why she suddenly collapsed. She needs some rest and medicines. After hat, she will be okay," answered Diana.
 Yael looked up. "Thank you, Lord," he said.
 Diana immediately stood up when she saw her husband coming.
 "I have some bad news," said Hulyo.
 Diana frowned. She looked at Yael. She waits for what Hulyo has to say. She held Hulyo's hand. "Yael, excuse us. We just need to talk about something," she said.
 "Okay, tita," answered Yael.
 Diana and Hulyo walked away. While they were talking, they glanced at Yael.
 "Yael needs bodyguards. Jackson already knows that Yael is alive. I don't know how he found out, but Yael is in danger. It is possible that he will be a target of Jackson," said Hulyo.
 "Wait. I'm still confused. How did he escape?" Diana said loudly.
 "Long story. Right now, we need to take Yael to a safer place. If it's necessary to take his grandmother with us, let's do it. Kuya Jacob has called me. He already knows that Yael is with us. It's been a long time since he has been looking for his only son. He cried when he found out that we found Yael." Hulyo looked at Yael.
 "We didn't find him, Hulyo. He found us," Diana whispered. "If that's the case, I'll have my secretary take care of the things that need to be arranged so that grandma can get out of the hospital as soon as possible.”
 The couple returned to where Yael was. Diana immediately spoke to the boy. Yael agreed to what her aunt wanted to happen.
