Chapter 25

While the make-up artist was fixing Freya, Jacob simply went out to call his sister, Diana.
"Are you and Freya now on good terms?" there was a tone of concern in Jacob's voice.
["Don't worry. We're fine. I'm on my way to the party."]
"We're still here at the hotel. I'm giving my wife an overall makeover. Are you really okay? Did the two of you talk about your misunderstanding?" said Jacob. He took the vape out of his pants' pocket and looked at it.
["We have talked. I told him that Kuya Jackson was the one who abducted Yael."]
"What? Why did you say that?" He put the vape in his pants pocket but immediately took it out.
["She deserves to know the truth, kuya. I know you don't want Freya to be in danger but since you also told her that Kuya Jackson killed her parents, what else are you afraid of? She's going to get her revenge anyway."]
Jacob walked away from the door and whispered, "Did you also say Yael is still alive?"
["No. I want you to tell her that, yourself. Also, her attention will be divided. Instead of focusing on her revenge, she will focus more on finding your son. We both know that it's stressful to look for someone when you don't know where to start looking. If it's you, you're going to act secretly until you don't have a good lead yet, right? I don't want to share multiple problems with Freya at the same time."]
"I owe Hulyo a lot," Jacob said.
["Oh, how come Hulyo become our topic now?"]
"You have matured more because of him. Congratulations to you," Jacob said with a laugh.
["Y-You know?"]
"Yeah! It's been a long time," Jacob replied.
["Who told you? Ivana?"]
"Yep. It's not a big deal to me. I'm happy because there's going to be another Gray. Wait, does papa know that you're married to Hulyo and you're carrying his grandchild?" Jacob stared again at the vape he was holding.
["The only thing papa knows is that I married Hulyo. I found out through Set. That's why papa was so angry with me when I came home to the mansion."]
"Tell him he's going to have a grandchild! I'm sure he will lose his anger." Jacob walked towards the trash can and looked at the vape he was holding again.
["Do you think, kuya? Maybe papa will disown me when he finds out that Hulyo and I have a child. He texted me earlier. He said I should file for divorce. He said he won't accept Hulyo as his son-in-law."]
Jacob took a deep breath. He felt the sadness in his sister's voice. He was still looking at the vape. "Freya doesn't like cigarettes, smoke and vape. Do I need to quit smoking...again?" Jacob said suddenly.
["Are you asking me kuya or are you talking to yourself again?"]
Jacob laughed. Love does something different. He finally threw the vape in the trash and ran back out of the room where Freya was being fixed. He was panting when he got there.
["Kuya, it looks like you really love Freya."]
"What Freya? Call her Ate Freya! You really have no respect, you child!" Jacob said.
["I'm used to Freya! It's strange to call her Ate Freya!"]
"I don't care if you're used to it. If I hear you call her Freya, I'll tell papa and Jackson, myself that you are pregnant! Go ahead!" Jacob threatened.
["Yes! I will call her Ate Freya! You're so demanding, on the contrary, it's the right thing to do! The arrow must have penetrated your heart when cupid shot you. I love you so much!"]
"Freya is the girl who saved me when I was on the verge of suicide. She was the girl I saved from the fire." Jacob frowned because Diana didn't react on the other line. He looked at his cell phone screen. 
"The call is not over yet. Diana! Did you hear what I said? Ivana is not my childhood love!"
["I know. I've known for a long time."]
"What? When?" Jacob asked.
["Seven years ago."]
"Bullshít! Why didn't you tell me right away?" Jacob shouted.
["Did you ask me for it? Charot."]
"Diana, I'm not kidding. Why didn't you tell me the truth right away? What a waste of time!" Jacob closed his eyes tightly when he remembered Yael.
["She didn't deserve you, that time. You're in chaos. You're not in your right mind because of guilt, anger and jealousy. I let you be with Ivana because you both had the same attitude and evilness before ! Is it okay?"]
"You're so mad at Ivana again. When your baby looks like her, I will laugh at you!" Jacob said jokingly. "I want to be mad at you but I can't because you're pregnant. You should thank your baby because if not, I might run into you later at the party."
["I'm almost at the Marcus house. I will see you here. I will end the call now."]
"Wait! I have something important to tell you. Hold on." Jacob peeked inside at his wife. His stylist is dressing her up.
["What are you going to say, kuya? Hurry up. There are a lot of cars here. It looks like my husband will have a hard time finding a parking space."]
"Rhea Oligario-Marcus is Freya's biological mother," Jacob whispered.
["WHAT? WHAT DID YOU SAY?"]
"I can't repeat it. Maybe someone will hear. I know you've heard it. Alright. I'm going back inside," said Jacob.
["God! Ate Freya a multi-billionaire heir? Oh my God! I can't believe it!"]
Jacob hung up even though Diana was still screaming on the other line. He was about to go inside the room when he heard his wife's voice.
"Did I hear it right? I'm a multi-billionaire heir?" Freya asked, wryly.
Jacob suddenly broke out in cold sweats. He didn't know what to say to his wife.
