Chapter 320 - 318: Back To Safe Haven
After Nathan left, Ana left the place with deep anger evident in her eyes. She was furious.
She immediately left the building and went to where Jonathan Roland was.
As soon as she reached the place, a confused Jonathan greeted Ana.
Ana grabbed him by the collar and dragged him to the wall and pinned him there making Jonathan Roland to be shocked.
"Ah!" He exclaimed in pain.
"What did you do to me?!" She furiously asked him.
"What? What do you mean?" He asked her.
"Do you want me to pull out your tongue? Speak!" She demanded.
"I really don't know what you are talking about." He said with full of sincerity implying that he was telling the truth.
"Are you a part of their plot, too?!" She asked another question.
"What the hell is this about?!" He yelled in frustration as he had no clue on what was going on.
However, Ana had become angrier and she wrapped her hand around Jonathan's neck and choked him.
Ana was very mad that she could kill a person at the moment.
Jonathan could only tap on her arm as he begged to be released as he would surely die by suffocation.
Finally, Ana released him and he immediately slumped on the floor coughing.
"What was that?" He asked in between his cough.
"I could no longer trust anyone." Ana said.
"Why?" He asked still confused.
"I have this feeling that all of you are trying to use me for something."
"What? No! I-" Jonathan wanted to explain himself but Ana cut him out.
"Stop! Stop!" She said.
"Why did you save me?" She asked him seriously.
"Didn't I answer you that a long time ago?" He answered.
"What's your goal for saving me?" She reconstructed her question and fiercely looked at him.
"Honestly, I didn't have any hidden motive. I was given the task to keep you alive and so I did." He answered as simple as that.
"How about them? Your boss? The people whom you have owed your life. Why are they using me against Nathan? Why are they using me against the King?" She once again asked.
"Well, to be brutally honest with you, only my boss could answer that. But why? Aren't you mad at him? Aren't they helping you in getting revenge on him?" He paused as he could not really figure out what had happened.
"What exactly happened in your meeting?"
"Nothing happened. Aside from the fact that I was being fooled by my own memories." She said.
"Are you implying that he's innocent?"
"Seems like the case." She slumped on the couch as she could not find the strength to stand longer.
"Wait. Why am I even talking to you? You'd probably tell them that I'm having a change of heart." She said.
"Oh wait! I blew up the cameras so they knew I'm no good." She added with a chuckle.
"You don't have to worry about that. I won't say anything to them."
"Really? Even if the life of your daughter and grandson was at stake?" She asked making Jonathan to be surprised.
"How did you know that?!"
"I know many things." She knowingly said
"So, what are your plans?"
"Go and ask the Boss."
An hour after that, Ana booked a private flight to LA to confront the Boss ( the cloaked person).
She would never tolerate being a part of a scheme and she didn't want to be manipulated into doing something that she didn't want to do.
Meanwhile, Nathan went back home as he prepared for his flight going to the Philippines.
"Where were you, Nathan‐niichan? You don't look good." Celine asked her brother when he arrived at the mansion.
Nathan answered a smile and said, "I'm fine. I'm just tired."
"Okay. Sleep early then."
"How about you? Why are you still up? It's almost two in the morning." He asked her.
"I'm good. I have slept while we were on the trip coming here." She reasoned as she sipped on her chocolate.
"Is it? Where's Sam?" Nathan asked.
"She's in my room sleeping. She have been driving the car for hours."
"Then you better sleep early, we have to leave early tomorrow." He reminded.
"Okay, I got it." She said.
Nathan entered his room and didn't get much of sleep.
When morning came, he immediately freshen up and went to the company first to check on Marco first. Marco would be left to watch over the two companies while Nathan was away.
Then after that Nathan, Derek, Celine and Sam boarded his private jet heading to the island in the Philippines.
Though Nathan and Eunji had both agreed beforehand to wait each other in the airport, Eunji's team decided to go ahead as they had children and elderly on board.
The earlier they reached the island the better as they would have more time to rest.
While they were in transit going to the same destination, Ana had safely landed in LA.
She immediately booked her ride when she landed.
Ana arrived into the neighborhood and she paid the cab driver with a good amount of cash as he agreed to drop her off in this place.
Not so many cab drivers dared to go in this neighborhood as they still loved their lives.
This neighborhood was famous for being dominated by gangs.
And there'a a rumor that behind these gangs was a mafia. And the mafia boss was none other than Frederick Heart.
Of course Ana knew of that. However, she was very familiar with the neighborhood. She had to walk a couple of blocks to reach the mafia house.
As soon as she arrived at the mafia house, she was welcomed by fifty men with high caliber firearms pointing towards her.
***
When Eunji and her team arrived in the island it was already five in the afternoon.
They safely arrived with the help of Manong Popoy and his boat men who was waiting for them on the port earlier.
As soon as their boat reached the dock, they were greeted by the beautiful sunset on the West.
The scene was breathtakingly beautiful but the kids were not in the mood to appreciate it because they were very tired from both the plane and the boat ride.
Eunji, though she was jet lagged, she carried Sophie off of the boat first. While Darren carried the two boys out of the boat and safely placed them on the dock.
Then she went back to get Little Eve before she helped Mei with Grandma Sana.
Angelina and Karina was already on the dock and were waiting for Layla and Master Liu to get off the boat.
The rest of Eunji's KSA team headed by Eagle also came with them in this short vacation.
They were there to ensure the safety of everyone.
Manang Ines and Mona were already on the other end of the dock waiting for them.
For their safety, Eunji, and Angelina had decided to wear their skin masks to protect the kids around them.
Manong Popoy then led everyone to where his wife and daughter was waiting.
Manong Popoy could not recognize them because Eunji was wearing another disguise which was different from what she had worn back then.
And also, Eunji was not the one communicating with them but Angelina. And through out the whole ride, it was Angelina who talked to the old man.
Manong Popoy was only informed that he would be accompanying the new owner of the place but which one? That, he didn't know.
But later on, when Nathan finally arrived, he would know who these people actually were.
"Good afternoon guests!." Manang Ines and Mona greeted.
"Good afternoon." They greeted them back.
"Welcome to Safe Haven! I hope you have a fine trip coming here. All of you are surely tired and sleepy. So let's go?" Mona then asked them to follow her mother
"This way please!"
Manang Ines led them to their waiting rides.
Since the main entrance to "Safe Haven" was the staircase along the cliff, Eunji specifically requested if they could prepare a golf cart that could bring them at the back entrance of the resort.
Thankfully, they didn't forget about it.
Aside from Eunji, Angelina and Karina, the rest boarded that cart while the trio decided to use the staircase instead. Mona wanted to accompany them but Eunji declined.
"It's okay. I'm familiar with the place." She said leaving Mona confused. Just like her father, she could not recognize any of them at all.
Eunji just smiled at her and then they started climbing going up.
When they reached the top, Eunji smiled warmly as nostalgia hit her.
This place would always have a soft spot for Eunji.
"Safe Haven, I'm back." She mumbled.
"Beautiful." Angelina uttered her praise as soon as she saw the view up top.
"No wonder you wanted to come back here again. This place is simply paradise!"
"I know right? Nathan brought me here to spend our honeymoon. Let's go!" Eunji said as she invited the mother and daughter inside.
"Yeah. This is definitely the perfect place for that." Angelina agreed.
Moments later, everyone were completely gathered in the main hall.
Manang Ines showed them their assigned rooms so they could have a quick rest first especially the kids.
Dinner would be served by seven to wait for Nathan and company.
Good thing the weather was nice and friendly for them. So Nathan could surely travel safely via helicopter.
Aside from Grandma Sana and the kids, the rest were gathered in the cottage to relax and calm their body for awhile.
While Eunji and Angelina were on the main Pavillion to help in decorating the venue for the kid's birthday celebration tomorrow.
Mona was there to help, too. Since she was tasked to buy all the decorations needed for the venue.
The theme was the 'Wild' and the kids would be dressing up as the forest rangers while the staffs would be dressing up as animals in the wild.
The program would start at three in the afternoon to make sure that the kids would be well-rested and in good condition for the party.
The program would end by six so they could have their dinner together.
All the children in the island were invited.
The people here really created a good impression on Eunji.
The venue was almost complete. The props and decorations were already done. The rented costumes for the staff who would be helping out tomorrow were also ready.
All they needed were the final touches and Eunji's other inputs if there was any.
At exactly 6:45 in the evening, Eunji could hear the sound of an incoming helicopter.
She smiled knowingly as she heard it.
"Seems like Master Boss is near." Angelina teased Eunji.
The trio left the Pavillion and walked towards the helipad area.
The kids were not there as they were still in their rooms, napping.
When the propeller stopped turning, the passengers of the helicopter descended one by one.
The first one to go out was Nathan.
And as soon as Eunji saw his silhouette, Eunji immediately ran towards him to welcome him with a kiss and a hug.
Nathan also ran towards her and met her halfway. Eunji then did what she wanted as soon as their bodies touched.
Of course Nathan didn't refuse any of it as he loved receiving kisses and hugs from his wife.
