Taming My Arrogant Husband novel Chapter 34

Daniel's POV:

It's been four hours since I heard the weather forecast on TV and since then, I've been trying to call Sophia's number but it's still unattended until now.

Almost every TV channel has no news other than the storm. There has been flooding in some parts of California particularly in the City of Amador.

I already called Rian and Alex and checked their situation and also informed them about Sophia's stubbornness.

"Anak, you haven't eaten lunch yet." 

I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned around to see the serious face of Tatay Berto. We are in the living room and waiting for an update about Amador City's current condition.

"I'm okay, Tatay Berto." I said taking a deep breath. "I don't know how will I explain this to Mom if she knows what happened, I'm sure she's going to kill me! Argh! That woman, she's always a pain in my ass!" I said brushing my hair with my fingers.

But I furrowed my eyebrows when Tatay Berto suddenly laughed.

"Aren't you worried about your wife?" He asked as he sat down across my seat.

"Of course, I am! If I'm not worried I wouldn't call her."

"Uhm..." He said nodding.

"I don't know why she was so stubborn. I already told her not to go there and just let me donate for the typhoon victims but she still didn't listen!"

"Maybe she just really wanted to help the people."

"I know, but what I don't understand is why does she really want to go there? Does she have a relative or a boyfriend in that City?"

He laughed at me again.

"You know what, Anak I'm now confused. Are you really worried or you're just jealous?"

"Tatay Berto, I'm not jealous. Actually, what worries me the most is what mom will do to me if she finds out what happened."

"Don't worry about your mother, Daniel she will understand. Worry first about your wife's safety because we don't even know what's happening in Amador right now."

I closed my eyes and sighed in frustration.

Sophia's POV:

"Ma'am Sophia, we can't fly back to Los Angeles right now." 

"What do you mean we can't fly back to Los Angeles?"

I asked one of my bodyguards Niko when he knocked on my door the day we were about to go back to Los Angeles.

"All domestic and international flights around Amador City have been cancelled due to the super typhoon Yakimda."

"Are you sure about that?" I asked walking towards the window of the hotel and noticed the heavy rains and strong winds outside.

"Yes ma'am, actually it's all over the news right now." He walked towards the television set and turned on the TV.

"As of this morning (July 19), the eye of the storm was about 730 km (455 miles) west of Amador City, which was also hit by a signal number 4 typhoon the past two months. If the storm systems sustain their strength, the world could see five simultaneous five cyclones, a global weather event that's only happened once. Meanwhile, it's path after landfall in California is still unclear, but the storm is expected to weaken considerably by Wednesday (July 23)."

"What if we just drive to LA?"

"I'm sorry, Ma'am Sophia but they have closed the main road of Amador due to the extensive flooding outside the City."

"Oh, my God! How can we go home?" 

He shrugged. "We have no choice Ma'am, but to wait until the storms subside, I'm sure by then, they will reopen the main road and return the regular airport flights."

"Oh, God!" I said brushing my face with my palm. "I need to call Nanay Emily and Bryan." 

I walked towards the console table to get my phone, but before I could dial Bryan's number, we heard a loud knock from the door. 

Niko opened it and I was shocked when Bryan entered inside.
