78. Beg
“We told Mister Jacinto about our proposal, sir. And like what we expected, he did not like it,” Minerva reported to Floyd. “Dwayne was a proud man. He won’t give up easily.” “Yes,” Minerva sighed. “I saw Alfred at the building when we arrived, sir. You should be really careful. I believe he didn’t know your true identity. But he wanted to meet you soon.” “I should find a way to get that gang away from him.” Floyd looked at Minerva. “Thank you, Miss Wang. You can go home now.” “I still have papers to do, sir.” Minerva bowed at Floyd. “I’ll go now.” Floyd stood up and held Minerva’s arm when she was about to turn away from him. “Wait!” Minerva stopped and looked at him. He let go of Minerva and smiled. “Miss Wang. I don’t know why I felt there was a wall between us now. Is this about last night? Did I do something to you?” Minerva frowned. Her mouth opened and she was confused. She tried remembering what happened last night. “N-Nothing, sir. Why? Is there a problem? Did I say som

79. Escaped again.
“Are you really sending her out, Floyd?” Belinda asked Floyd. They were near the door watching the maids putting Roxane’s things in the car. “This is the right thing to do, Mother. She’ll never change.” Floyd looked at Roxane. Jude was holding her because she kept on running inside.“Floyd, please! You didn’t mean that, right? Please!” Roxane begged. She finally made herself free from Jude. She ran to Floyd and kneeled at him again. “Please! Floyd! Please! I’m sorry. I won’t betray you again. I will not leave you! I’ll focus on our son!” She hugged his waist. Floyd sighed and touched her arms. “Stand up, Roxane. Don’t do this.” “No! I don’t want to leave! I can’t leave!” “Roxane–” A car suddenly stopped in front of the mansion. They all looked at it and waited for someone to get out. It was Aby. She was smiling brightly, but suddenly stopped when she saw Roxane’s position.“Ohh… What is going on here?” Aby asked. She couldn’t believe the scene she was seeing. Aby approached Floyd

80. Home
“What?! How did you lose her?!” Floyd asked. Jude had just come back from the airport and reported that Roxane had gone away. “I’m sorry, young master,” Jude answered. He was looking down only at him. And embarrassed because he didn’t do his work right. “I already alerted the police. Anyone who sees Roxane will take her and tell us about it.” Aby smirked. She was still at the mansion. “We all know where she is heading now, right?” She looked at Floyd, who was standing near his table. “She’s with Dwayne now for sure. And because of what you did to her, I wouldn’t be surprised if she told him about you.” Floyd sighed and massaged his nape. He started walking back and forth as he thought about the possible outcome. Roxane will really do it. She was the type of woman that wouldn’t hesitate to do such things just to save herself. “But don’t worry. Even Dwayne learns about your identity. His company is yours already.” Floyd stopped and looked at Aby. “What do you mean?” “Well, I forgo

81. Wedding day
Roxane didn’t answer Dwayne. He was calm but she could see from his eyes that he didn’t like what she did. Why would he? She left him. Roxane tightened her grip on her clothes and forced a smile at Dwayne.  “M-My love,” she said.  Dwayne smirked and looked away. He stood up and started approaching her. “Did you enjoy it, huh?” Roxane flinched when Dwayne caressed his face with one finger. “Y-Yeah–” She gasped when Dwayne suddenly held his chin and his cheeks slightly. Roxane touched his arms and groaned. “D-Dwayne.”  “You left? Why did you come back? Did you realize that you cannot live without my money, huh? Do you?” Dwayne’s face slowly turned red. His eyes were glaring at her.  “D-Dwayne! You’re hurting me!” Roxane exclaimed.  Dwayne smirked. “Am I? Am I?!”  Roxane screamed when Dwayne suddenly let go of her and slapped her. She fell on the floor and cried. “P-Please! Let me explain, Dwayne!”&nb

82. Celebration
Floyd and Aby were married. It was just a simple and fast wedding. Floyd didn’t invite his mother.“Should I live in your house now?” Aby asked. They were in Floyd's car. She kept on looking at her gold ring. “Why would you do that?”“I’m your wife!”Floyd sighed and looked at Aby. She looked so happy seeing that they were married already. Like they were really a couple. “Let me remind you. Our wedding was purely for business only. I have already prepared a contract and you will sign it when we get home.”Aby pouted. “Whatever. My parents will be here at the weekend. They decided to be here earlier.” Floyd nodded. “They will visit your house. Our house.” “What? Was this part of our act?” “Yes. Don’t worry. I will talk with your mother–” “No. I will. You don’t have to.”“Okay.”Floyd shook his head. Later on, they reached the mansion. They were greeted by Belinda at the door. “Welcome, my children! How’s your wedding?” Belinda said. She looked at Aby. “I’m sorry, Aby. I could

83. Invitation
Days had passed, and Floyd hadn't heard anything about Roxane since she escaped. They looked for her just so his identity couldn’t be compromised. But even on the Jacinto network she wasn’t there. “Don’t you think he already knows?” Floyd asked. “I’m not sure. When I met him yesterday, Mister Jacinto hadn't said anything about him. He was not mentioning you,” Minerva answered. Floyd sighed. “Okay.” “But he asked me to give this to you.” Minerva took out an envelope and gave it to Floyd. Floyd opened it and saw that it was an invitation card. He smirked. “So, Roxane was with her after all.” “What is it?” “It’s an engagement party invitation. They will announce their wedding day, I guess.”Minerva looked at the card. “But it said an invitation to Johnson Floyd Cruz?” “They are testing us. It’s okay.”“Are you going, sir?”“I’ll think about it.” “Okay, sir. I should go now.” Minerva stood up and gathered her things. She was about to walk out when Floyd called her again. “Miss

84. The Chua
“Miss Chua? Where are you?” Floyd asked over the phone. He had just arrived at the airport. He was looking for Aby outside. “I’m at the entrance. Come here.” Floyd turned off the phone and went to Aby. It didn’t take him long before he saw her. She was walking back and forth while looking down. “Miss Chua!” he called. Aby stopped and looked at him. She smiled. “You came.” “Is there something wrong? You looked stressed?” Aby took a deep breath. “I… I’ll just see them again now after five years. And I know that they’ll not be happy to see me. So, please. If they tell you… uncomfortable words. Hang on there? I-I’ll make way how you can go away. Okay?” Floyd frowned. When he met Aby, it was his first time seeing her scared. She was a strong and independent woman. Mostly impulsive but impressive. Floyd sighed and nodded. “No. We can do it.” “My mother… She’s… Ugh! Whatever. Just hold on. This will be fast.”Floyd touched Aby’s shoulder and gently stroked it to calm her. “It’s okay

86. Home
Floyd decided to bring Aby’s parents to his mansion. He thought that it would be much better considering the way her mother acted. He used to see Aby as a serious and strong woman. She liked to do everything she wanted. But he never saw her scared about anything. “I’m sorry for what happened,” Aby said. They were already riding in the car. Aby kept on caressing her left cheek, which was still hot because of the slap from her mother. “For what?” Floyd looked at Aby. He sighed, seeing her in distress. “My mother... she’s really like that.” “You don’t have to say sorry to me. It’s not your fault.” Aby smiled bitterly and looked at Floyd for a second. She was embarrassed and, at the same time, relieved because of him. “Don’t worry. They’ll stay until they confirm what they need to confirm. You won’t see them for long.” She looked outside again. She was hoping that they would really leave her alone soon. Floyd just sighed and didn’t answer her. He didn’t know them, that was why he did

87. Miguel
“You shouldn’t have acted like that, Maricris,” Brandon said. He had just finished taking a shower. Maricris was sitting on the bed, staring out of nowhere.“What should I’ve done, huh? He was the son of the richest man in the world. The most powerful clan in Ryeso. And he gave us this?” Maricris looked around. “Our things were not even fixed!”Brandon sighed. “But it was true. You didn’t even tell your daughter that we were going today.”Maricris stood up. She looked at her husband, who was changing his clothes. “You are still siding with your daughter! That’s why she’s weak like you! That’s why she left us!”“Dear, I don’t want to fight with you about today.” He went to Maricris and touched her arms. She might be a strict and serious woman. But he had seen how soft Maricris was. That was why he never thought of leaving her, even though sometimes she was too much for him. “Your daughter was a strong woman like you. You just need to trust her. Take a breath.”Maricris rolled her eyes.
