Chapter 59 : Backstabbed


R

apunzel and her family decided to settle with Tooth for now. Their mother assured them how sweet she is and that she doesn't mind at all, not to mention that she lives alone so she would love some company. 

"We're really sorry tooth" Rapunzel sighed as she sat with her new friend at the living room "I promise once we get back on our feet we'll leave" All her life she felt like a burden and she hates feeling like that.

"Rapunzel what are you saying" Tooth pressed her lips together "Ava was like a mother to me at prison, she talked about you everyday that I considered you and Lily my sisters" She held her hand "You can stay here for as long as u want, you're always welcomed" She gave her a reassuring smile and Rapunzel couldn't be more grateful.

"Can I ask you something.....it's very important.." Rapunzel pressed her lips together as Tooth furrowed her eyebrows "The baby...it turned out it's mine" Every time Rapunzel says those words she gets furious.

"What!" Tooth gasped.

"I though it was from Elsa but they played me...." Rapunzel clenched her fists "They used me and lied to me! so I wouldn't take the baby which is mine!" She wanted to burn them all.

"What are those people !" Tooth scoffed "How can they be this horrible?" The world can be so dark, Tooth knows that but seriously? Taking advantage of a young girl?

"I know...and after today I never wanna see Jack's face ever again" Rapunzel gritted her teeth, even his name is enough to make her go nuts now "I decided to raise my child by myself"

"I am totally supporting your decision, that's the right thing" Tooth smiled at her. Rapunzel is very strong as Ava used to tell her.

"That's why I wanna leave somewhere...before I give birth" Rapunzel stated "A place where they won't be able to fine me, but..." She gulped "Let's assume they did and took my child.... can I get him back?" She's aware of who she's dealing with, and after today she can expect anything from them.

"You're the mother, the judge usually gives the custody to the mother" Tooth assured her since she's a lawyer "However...." She sighed "The Frosts aren't easy, they're very strong and that might go way too far to take him"

"They won't!" Rapunzel glared "I won't let them, I'd sacrifice my won soul just to not let them touch him" She held her tummy protectively, she won't let anyone take her child.

"Rapunzel have you seen my ID?" Ava came asking.

"no.. Rapunzel thought about it a little "Oh god we must have forgotten it at that house" Great Rapunzel good job! "I'd go and get them but....I really don't wanna see Jack's face"

"I'll go then don't worry" Ava assured her.

"And I'll go get ready" Rapunzel stood up "I have to look for a job, wish me luck" She smiled at her mother and Tooth as she went out. 

After an hour or so Ava headed out as well back to that hill house. They forgot all of their ID's there. She stood at the door searching for the keys and suddenly she heard a car sound behind her, she turned around and it was Jack...dammit! She found the keys opening the door fast and just as she was about to go inside.

"Mrs.Corona" Jack called, she sighed and turned to him as he walked towards her standing at the door "Is Rapunzel inside?" He asked, she hasn't been answering any of his calls.

"No she went out" Ava replied coldly. If it wasn't for Rapunzel she would have cut his throat wide open using only her nails.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Jack asked, where is she!

"Do we have to tell you everything Mr.Frost" Ava scoffed.

"Yes!" Jack replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world "Anything related to Rapunzel must be under my knowledge" He doesn't care if he sounds obsessed now.

"Look" Ava sighed "You've caused enough damage Jack Frost, If you actually care about my daughter even for a little bit then leave her alone" She just wants her daughter to be happy and as long as this man is in her life she won't be "You played with her enough and she can't handle anymore of your game and for the baby? Don't worry we'll take care of him...Rapunzel already made up her mind"

"Mrs.Corona" Jack gritted his teeth, Ava's words make no sense "Where.Is.Rapunzel?" Jack asked again, he doesn't wanna go crazy.

"I don't know" Ava replied coldly "She left since morning and haven't gone back since then, you should leave too. Good day" And with that Ava closed the door and sighed in relief leaving behind a frustrated Jack. What the hell happened yesterday!

He went back to his car and started driving with Ava's words playing in his mind. What did she mean by all this? Playing games? when did he ever do that to Rapunzel! And she said something weird...

"And for the baby? Don't worry we'll take care of him...Rapunzel already made up her mind"

He stopped the car and blinked, his mind did not process these words earlier because he was angry. What did Ava mean by this? He took a U-turn and had to go back there to Ava. He parked his car again and one of the guards raised his brows.

"Mrs.Ava open up!" Jack knocked harshly on the door "What did you mean by that! What would Rapunzel do with the baby!" 

"Mr.Jack" One of the guards approached him 'Mrs.Crorona just left a while ago" 

"And Rapunzel?" Jack asked walking to the guard. 

"She left yesterday at night" The guard replied making Jack groan almost pulling his hair.

"Why didn't you tell me !" Jack snapped and the guard gulped.

"She said that you knew she was going to her relatives, and she took her luggage with her" When the guard said this, Jack started understanding this a bit more... she couldn't have left.. He went back to the door of the house and he opened it. Of course he had keys to it but he was respecting their privacy.

He walked inside and looked around to see the house completely empty with no pure sign of any of them. Something caught his eyes at the table in the living room, he walked there and picked it up. It was the crystal ball he bought for Rapunzel before along side the golden sun necklace ! She left them.... she left...... she's telling him she's gone.. She's leaving him but Why!

Suddenly his phone started ringing and it was Kristoff who was calling. He never usually calls so there must be something.

"Yes Kristoff" He picked up.

"Jack you need to come to the company right now" Kristoff demanded sounding nervous "Something went wrong with our last shipment and it got reserved at the country borders" 

"I am coming" Jack want to scream, what now.... Can't he have a break for once. The moment he arrived at the company he saw Kristoff waiting at his office looking so pale "What's wrong? What happened?" Jack asked as he sat down with his brother facing him.

"I don't know...they said they found illegal stuff in our shipment" Kristoff gulped while Jack just held his face feeling a headache.

"Didn't you choose that shipping company?" Jack asked and his brother silence wasn't helping "Didn't you ask about them and what could have they possibly shipped with our stuff!" He was losing his mind now, this is pretty serious. Kristoff couldn't reply because he knew it's his fault, he just wanted to feel useful but he ended up causing them a huge scene...

"Mr.Jack The police is here" Jack's secretary said as she opened the door with two officers following her inside. 

"Excuse me" One of them said "We need both of you to head with us to the station immediately" Jack shared a look with his brother who looked nervous as hell. Jack nodded at the officer and they both walked with him outside to the police car.

Watching from far away was Hans and Bryan who had a huge grin on his face.

"That's it doggy, get in the fuckin car" Hans grinned. He's behind it all, he's behind that company that shipped drugs. He promised Jack Frost that he'll see hell and he's a man of his words.

"I gotta admit" Bryan looked at Hans "You're definitely not someone to mess with"

"This is only the beginning Bryan" Hans scoffed, that man did a lot to his Rapunzel, of course he won't let him walk unpunished "Just wait and see, I'll make this entire family sleep on the streets with nothing left to have, Now go ahead and inform the press" He was serious, this isn't his only plan. Just wait and see Jack Frost .

Meanwhile back at the Frosts mansion Olivia saw Flynn already dressed and was about to head out. Now is they time to bring up this subject.

"Flynn honey" She called "Come sit with me for a bit" She invited pointing to the seat next to her at the living room. 

"Yes Aunt Olivia" Flynn smiled and sat with her. She's like a mother to him.

"I heard about how Emma has been fighting with you because you love Rapunzel" Olivia started and Flynn just pressed his lips together "She just wants what's good for you, you know that right?"

"Aunt Olivia I am aware of that" He replied "But I choose Rapunzel and she can't change my mind about it"

"I do not want you guys to fight, she's like your sister" Olivia sighed, she wants to know how far Flynn wants to go "Do you really want Rapunzel that much?"

"Yes!" Flynn didn't hesitate for a second "I want her more than anything in this world, I appreciate Emma's concern but that won't stop me" Flynn just fell hard and he can't seem to get out.

"Hmmm" Olivia smiled at him "But you know Rapunzel is pregnant with Jack's child, will you be able to accept this?" 

"Yes" No hesitation in his voice there "I am willing to handle anything just for Rapunzel, she's worth it" His reply made Olivia smile.

"Then you should take care of her and always support her" Olivia stated "Go to her now and don't leave her side, as for Emma leave her to me" She wants to end Jack's feelings for her, she can't have her house destroyed like that. If Flynn married Rapunzel, it's game over for him and he's already so in love with her. Can't she save both of her son's lives?

"You're the best aunt in the entire world" Flynn kissed her forehead and started headed out smiling like an idiot. Finally someone who will stand by his side! He knew that Rapunzel was going to the hospital today since the tests results will be out so he headed straight there waiting for her. 

After about two hours of waiting he finally spotted Rapunzel walking inside, the moment she saw him her eyes widened. What is he doing here? Flynn smiled and walked towards her.

"Mr.Flynn what are you doing here? How did you know I would come?" She furrowed her eyebrows, they can't be watching her right?

"I was with you last appointment and I heard the nurse say the results will come out today, so I came here and waited for you" He replied smiling. 

"You..You didn't have to you know" Rapunzel pressed her lips together, she knows he mean well but she doesn't wanna deal with any member of that family ever again.

"But I wanna be there for you" Flynn smiled making her feel a tiny blush.

"Rapunzel Corona, here are your results, everything is perfectly fine and the Dr will see you shortly" The nurse exclaimed handing Rapunzel the report paper and walked away. Rapunzel smiled at the news and opened the paper. Flynn sighed assuming what she might be thinking.

"You can ...call Jack..let him know" Flynn suggested making Rapunzel's smile drop. She looked at him and sighed.

"No It's fine" Rapunzel shrugged which made Flynn frown.

"What? Don't tell me he won't take care of his son?" Flynn knew this doesn't sound like Jack.

"No" Rapunzel replied "It's me... I wanna put some distance from  Jack... Mrs.Elsa...and all of your family, I do not want any help from anyone" She clarified.

"Even from me?" Flynn asked feeling a bit sad.

"Even from you" Rapunzel relied pressing her lips together and Flynn just sighed "I wanna stand up on my own, that's why I even started looking for a job" However she hasn't found anything. Everyone rejected her today because she's pregnant.

"That's actually a very good decision and I admire that" Flynn supported her, he admires how independent she wanna be "But what do you wanna work? You should work something you love"

"That's not possible" Rapunzel sighed "I dreamt about being a lawyer but that dream is over, I can cook though and I love cooking. Like if I work at a small restaurant or something" She smiled to herself at the idea "But that's not possible these days" Flynn nodded taking that idea into account in his mind of course. A restaurant then huh?

Once they finished the appointment, Flynn insisted on dropping Rapunzel home and finally once she came inside she told her mother and Lily about how it was nearly impossible today to find anything. All the companies rejected her because of her pregnancy.

"I told you! Now let's go back" Lily groaned as Ava glared at her. She huffed and folded her arms, her family is not thinking straight.

"Don't be sad honey" Ava tried comforting Rapunzel "I searched today as well and.... I could work as a maid in a house" Those words made Rapunzel's eye tear up, she doesn't wanna see her mother in that state no..... why is life being so unfair to them "Please don't cry" Ava pleaded as she saw how devastated her daughter was getting "Lily turn on the TV or something, let's change the mood"

Lily rolled her eyes and opened the TV as her mother said, Tooth then came along and sat with them. Lily just kept changing the channels trying to find anything interesting but nothing was that entertaining until suddenly she saw Mr.Jack on a channel.

"That's Mr.Jack!" Lily exclaimed making them all turn to the TV.

"Jack and Kristoff Frost were both taken to the police station today after the government found illegal stuff within their shipment on the Russian border lines, further investigation are still running explain this event"

Rapunzel pressed her lips together as she saw Jack's face in the TV surrounded by his family in front of the police station. She spotted Elsa who ran towards Jack and held his arm as they both walked inside the station. Her blood boiled at this.. a huge pang of not just jealousy but anger as well hit her. She got up and snatched the remote from Lily turning off the TV.

"Hey!"

"Lily! We have enough problems, we do not have to make time for their news as well" Rapunzel glared walking back to her seat as Ava just gulped at her. She knows what her daughter is feeling and it kills her that she can't help.

Meanwhile at the station the whole family was gathered there, they were all so worried and confused when the secretary called them saying that the police came. It turn out they found heroine in their shipment, furthermore it won't be an easy matter to solve. 

"These stuff do not belong to us" Jack tried explaining to the officer "Our company has a huge reputation, this is definitely a miss understanding"

"The head detective is still investigating, he'll be here in a while to interrogate you two" The officer sad and headed out of the office leaving them alone in the office. A few minutes later Michael entered the room pressing his lips together, his gaze turned to Kristoff and he looked furious.

"Explain this to me" Michael glared holding Kristoff by his collar who looked super guilty "Are you involved in this!" 

"Dad please calm down" Jack tried separating them both but Michael looked furious.

"Calm down! Do you realize what we're into!" Michael shouted still glaring at Kristoff who remained silent "You dis this ! You brought this company and you made the agreement!" 

"Dad please" Jack finally freed Kristoff from his father "I am positive this is a set up, someone is setting us up and I promise you I'll find out who it is soon" Finally Michael let go of Kristoff but still words can't explain how disappointed he is. 

After a while, jack's lawyer came and started talking with them both. He knew that this case is not an easy one, yes the shipment company is responsible but still it was their shipment. 

"We'll see what the detective will say" The lawyer stated "For now I believe you just have to wait"

"Oh god.." Jack sighed, as if he needed anymore problems "Tell my family to go home, I do not anyone waiting" The lawyer nodded at him "And I also want another thing, There's this girl names Tooth, Ava met her at prison, I want you to find me her address" When Jack thought about it, this is the only one Jack could think of. They know no one else in this city so there's a chance.

Another hour passed with both of them still waiting in agony. Jack kept calling Rapunzel the entire time hoping she'd answer and just explain! but she only kept hanging up till she turned her phone off. He sighed in despair... he needs her now more than ever.

Feeling like he needs to wash his face, he opened the door and saw Elsa outside there still waiting. He furrowed his eyebrows and walked to her.

"What are you still doing here?" Jack asked, he asked everyone to go back home.

"I am not leaving without you" Elsa replied staring into his eyes. There was no game this time, she really just wanted to make sure he's fine. 

"Elsa just go home" Jack sighed "We don't know when will they release us" Elsa just stared at him deeply in the eyes.

"No jack....I wanna wait for you.." She insisted still not breaking the eye contact. Jack didn't know why's acting like this now... they'll divorce soon.. 

Finally after god knows how long, they finished their interrogation and were on there way home...for now. The moment they stepped inside everyone screamed in joy.

"Dad!" Amelia exclaimed running and hugged her father.

"Oh thank god" Olivia sighed in relief and went to hug her sons. Michael sighed and joined her, he is mad at Kristoff yes but he's glad they're both back now. 

"I was so worried" Emma pouted and hugged them both "Stop scaring us"

As they all kept hugging Jack's phone started ringing and it was the lawyer. He went outside to the garden to answer and of course that did not go unnoticed by Elsa. Who is calling?

"I found Tooth's address" The lawyer informed, finally some good news! 

"Send it now" Jack demanded then hanged up. He went inside the house again "I have some work I need to finish, Goodnight to you all" Jack smiled and headed before anyone could ask any questions hence, that made suspicion grow inside Elsa. This is related to Rapunzel she's sure.

"Please be there Rapunzel...." Jack whispered
