Chapter 28

"You always set my heart on fire, wife. I have never seen anyone as gorgeous as you are," Jacob uttered right after he saw Freya. He dropped the magazine he was holding and immediately stood up from the couch. His mouth fell open as he looked carefully at the entirety of his wife.
Freya's cheeks flushed immediately. She bowed before she spoke, "I-Is this o-okay? Am I wearing it well?"
Jacob just nodded as he didn't realize that he was kneeling in front of his wife. "I can't take my eyes off of you. The word stunning is not enough to describe you now. You are like a real goddess!"
Jacob's stylist and make-up artist are stroking while listening to the couple's conversation. They can't help but want to go all in on both.
"The two of them are perfect, aren't they? It's like a prince and princess in a movie! I feel jealous! Where is my Jacob?" said the stylist.
"You're right, 'Te! I'm jealous too. It is so obvious in their eyes that they really love each other! Maybe, when Miss Freya conceives a baby girl, she will be very beautiful! Then when it's a boy, he's very handsome," the make-up artist whispered.
"Jacob, stop uttering your pick up lines. What time is it? We have to go," Freya said. The truth is, she might pee because she was so excited about what her husband was plotting that she tried to change the subject.
"You know wife, I will never leave you at the party," Jacob stated.
Freya immediately frowned. "Why? I will not get lost if I just follow you and I will not get lost if I don't follow you too."
Jacob shook his head. "You will be lost but others will court you and I am not going to let it happen. With your beauty and your sexyness, it's impossible not to become a crush of those people belonging to Alta sociedad. Even women will be fascinated by your beauty."
Freya didn't show that she was moved by what Jacob said. Instead of smiling, she made a poker face. "Stop it, Jacob. It's not working on me," she said as she walked out of the room.
"Wife, wait for me! I will escort you…my dear queen!" Jacob shouted while laughing. Even though his wife gave him a rolling eyes, he knew that she enjoyed the words that came out of his mouth because he saw how a beautiful smile appeared on her face.
While in the car, Freya pretended to be asleep. Maybe Jacob will tease her again, it will be difficult to avoid him. She couldn't walk out because their car was running. Also, she might be carried away by her feelings. It's even worse to thrill her too much because she might suddenly kiss her husband!
"Wife, are you sleeping?" Jacob asked. He didn't get a response so he just continued driving. When he was bored he suddenly sang.
'Should I tell him that his voice sucks? That his tone hurts my ears? Or should I just pretend I didn't hear him singing?' Freya thought as she stifled a laugh.
Jacob glances at his wife. He didn't want her to hear him sing. Because he knows on his own that he is not good at singing. He knew it was bad to hear because his papa once threw a cell phone at him when he heard his singing voice. His eyebrows rose when he saw his wife sleeping soundly. He continued singing again and it was louder than before.
Freya didn't know how else she could hold back her laughter. She bit her lower lip just to prevent herself from laughing out loud. She was just praying that Jacob would stop singing. She quickly opened one of her eyes to look at the sky.
'The light of the clouds earlier, suddenly darkened. Even the sky knows how I feel. I didn't like the voice of the person next to me either. It looks like it's going to rain,' Freya thought. She coughed when Jacob suddenly broke into falsetto. 
Jacob almost got kicked because Freya couldn't hold back her laughter any longer!
Jacob's two eyebrows met and he quickly looked at Freya to see if she had woken up because of his loud singing. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his wife was fast asleep again after coughing.
"Did my wife get herself soaked in the rain? Why does she seem to have a cough? Does my make-up artist and stylist have a cough? Maybe she's infected." Jacob looked at the map on his cell phone. They were still quite far from Marcus' mansion.
Freya was surprised when she saw that her husband had changed direction. 'Where is he going? We're twenty minutes late to the party,' she thought.
"Don't worry wife, I will immediately buy you cough medicine and vitamin C with Zinc. I will also go to the nearest market to buy you fruits. I will not allow you to get sick," Jacob said gently.
Freya's world seemed to stop because of what she heard. She could no longer see Jacob who cheated and ignored her and Yael. All she sees is a young Jacob who is loving and caring towards those he loves. Although she was rude to Jacob, she secretly admired him because of his love for Aling Josie. Jacob is a good son and a good friend.
Jacob's eyes caught Freya's smile. "She must be dreaming beautifully. Every smile she makes, makes me feel better. You know, wife, when I get sick...I don't need medicine anymore. I will get better as long as you're always here by my side...as long as I see your gentle and beautiful face...as long as I can hear your wonderful voice. You're just scary sometimes, especially when you're trampled on." Jacob laughed while Freya fell asleep completely.

"Tamahome."
Tamahome immediately ran to his master.
"What can I do for you, Your Highness?" asked Tamahome.
"Have you talked to Yvette? Did you do what I asked you to do?"
"Yes, your majesty. It seems that he has re-recalled who I am," Tamahome replied.
"Good! Now, you have to be more visible. Send someone to their house. I heard there is a vacant position there. I just can't remember if they need a driver or a bodyguard. It would be better if it's a driver to know where Yvette is going. She has a lot of cars but according to my source, she is often too lazy to drive. It's up to you which of my men you want to be your mission assistant."
"No problem, your majesty. I will take care of it," Tamahome said as he bowed his head.
"I just want to remind you, Tamahome. Don't fall for your childhood friend. Just make her love you so deeply that you can easily manipulate her. If that happens, we can use her in our plans. I know you loved that girl from afar so I'm warning you. The moment you betray me, it's not just your life that will be at risk. Is that clear?"
"Yes, your majesty," answered Tamahome.
"Say it louder!"
"YES, YOUR MAJESTY!" Tamahome shouted.
"Sounds realistic. Okay. Tomorrow, you have to get started. I need information on Ythan Marcus as soon as possible. Find out how much he stinks."
Tamahome could clearly see the anger in his master's eyes but there was sadness in every flash of it. He took a deep breath and said goodbye to his boss.
"Yvette, I'm sorry. I can't let him down because my life is still not enough to pay for everything he's done to me and my family. I hope...you can forgive me after all of this...I hope." Tamahome entered his office and began picking for someone who will help him with his new mission.
