Tobin told Holly they would talk again but he needed to head home first. He felt a bit distant with his wife, seeing that he had been too obsessed with making everything work out fine.

"That's right, I'll get her cake and wine so we can celebrate." He said to himself.

He walked into a pastry shop, a fancy one at that, even though their prices were high but he could pay now. He would get Hailey nothing but the best from now.

The place was less crowded and people minded their business enjoying their meal. He walked to the counter.

"Hello sir," a lady said. She was slender with cute eyes.

"Hello. I'll like to order a cake. Something for my wife, a customized one." Tobin said.

"Okay sir, what would you like to be on the cake? And if it's your wife, may I interest you in a chocolate cake or--"

The lady was interrupted by a man walking in. He was medium height, shorter than Tobin, and he had an apron around his waist.

"Well well well, if it isn't Tobin my man!" The man said, smiling brig

    "Now I'm very sure I won't be licking your feet, Finn, but tell me, what makes you so sure you can call me a thief?" Tobin said, folding his hands beneath his chest.The audience seemed to be listening too, interested in what Finn had to say.Finn walked forward proudly. "Well, seeing that you stole clothes to wear so you'd be allowed inside such a grand place. You don't own these clothes, Tobin. Just give up already!"This only made Tobin roll his eyes. Finn had no idea what he was talking about. "Mr. Manager?" Tobin called."Yes? I'm still here." The man replied coldly."I want you to verify this card and then tell me what you think. Whether I'm a criminal or not." He said to the man."Don't let him get close to you sir, he's a thief!" Finn yelled out.Tobin advanced forward and met with the manager. "Here, verify. But don't waste my time. You should know faces of dignified customers as a businessman, at the mention of just their name.""And what's your name?" "Mr. Tobin Smith, wha

    Tobin couldn't get the words out of his head. What would make her think that? He had to be careful now. Even after his lies that she had been mistaken, that sharing the last name 'Smiths' was just a coincidence.He got home and met his sister and mother in laws. What were they doing now?"Oh you're back honey," Hailey got up and went to meet him."Well well well, speaking of the devil." Rosa said."Listen to what we've said now, honey." Cami said as she got up. "We'll leave now.""Goodnight." Tobin said to them but neither gave him a response. It was just he and his wife now."What did they come here to say?" He asked her as he saw she had worry lines on her face."It's nothing, Tobin. You should go get changed." Hailey said."Look what I brought." Tobin decided to liven up the mood. He showed the cake and wine and that was when Hailey bursted out in tears.At first he thought it was tears of joy, until it turned into real ones. What had he said or done?"Hey hey," he dropped the cake

    The next morning, Tobin had rushed in to work. Frank was in his office with Holly now."There wasn't much I could do last night, but I was able to shut the news off some websites and news companies. But the damage has already been done." Tobin said."I think you should ignore him sir. We all know silence is the best answer for a fool." Said Frank."Ignore? No way, sir. You must deal with him. He's gone way too far now." Holly snapped back."I mean, I'm angry. Why would he call me a criminal? Because my identity is hidden means nothing but me asking people to respect my privacy." Tobin flared."But he stooped so low, I should not be in the dirt with him." he concluded."Sir, he won't stop here. You should give him a response." Holly insisted."This news will die down before you know it. Let's just focus on something else." Frank replied to Holly.Tobin frowned. They were both right, but he needed to win his wife's bid. He still couldn't get the thought of her crying from his head. He n

    "Mary?" David said. He knew Mary from his high school days and he always wished he would marry her instead of his witch wife."Thank goodness. Chase this man away from here and leave his pretty wife. I will still like to talk to her." David commanded with a smile.Mary was a dark skin lady with brown eyes and full black hair. She was pretty and young too."Please I am so sorry for this embarrassment." Mary said."No need to apologize, Mary. Just do what I've asked already.""You're right, David." Said Mary.Tobin rolled his eyes in disbelief and was about to walk out by himself when he heard Mary's voice command."Gentlemen, escort David out of here." she said to the security.David's eyes widened. "Wait, what? His name is Tobin not David! I'm David! Mary, how can you do this to me? How can you do this to me??" before he could say another thing again, the guards pushed him out.Tobin smiled. He went forward to meet Mary. "My name is-""Tobin." Mary said. "Tobin Smith. I know who you

    "Tobin? How lovely to have bumped into you." a slender lady said to Tobin."You again? What is it with you! Hold on, are you stalking me?" Tobin frowned. "What? I promise you, I'm not. I am sorry for what happened the other time. I promise you, I don't plan to ruin your marriage." Lisa cried out.Tobin didn't understand but he ignored her statement. " Let me guess, your boys are somewhere around taking pictures of us again, huh!?" He demanded.Lisa looked sympathetic. "I can assure you, it's not what you think. I actually need your help.""What? Need my help? For what?" Tobin demanded. They were alone on the street with barely two people passing by. Tobin had a stern look on his face."You don't understand. There are big people involved in this. And I've been threatening to ruin your marriage, else, I'll die!" She spat out. One could almost see the fear hinted in her eyes."That's not my business." "Maybe. But you're the only one who can help me. You're friends with the CEO of Smit

Hailey was the only one different and calm, as well as her brother."This is a great opportunity here, why are you so dumb sister!" Rosa yelled out. She was tall and slender with a pretty face, though she had undergone some facial surgeries.All she was obsessed about was meeting rich people and going to rich people parties. Their family used to be rich before, however business was dying down and they had lost so many business partners.Even making Hailey the family CEO was almost useless, as their family owned nothing but a few properties and a couple of million dollar assets."Calm down, don't make a scene sister."

    What nobody knew was that Tobin had already made a little research on these men, and Giovanni was the main target. Whatever he said, his men will follow.The room was empty now with only Tobin and the old man."How did you know that name? Who else have you told, huh!" Giovanni demanded.Tobin remained in his relaxed position. "Does it matter? What you have done all these years ago, I can bring it back to light." He said.Giovanni was impatient. Being in the navy for long, he struck an attack by jumping forward to stab Tobin. But he was faster. Tobin easily managed to lean, evading the knife, and he regained balance and struck the knife away from Giovanni."Are you mad, old man! You attack me? Why would you do something so stupid! There's camera everywhere." Tobin yelled out.Giovanni crept to his knees. "I--I'm sorry. I'm Sorry! I...please don't tell anyone about me!" he cried out.This made Tobin even more shocked. "Well listen to me, and listen good. If you try any funny attacks,

    When they were already out in their car, Hailey stopped him from driving with an angry face."What was that all about? Why did you cut them off our business!"Tobin knew his wife didn't know what the Blancos have done to him. How they ruined his life. He could have been great in life since he was little. Who knows, maybe his parent would still be alive!"Hailey, I didn't do anything. They willingly accepted the terms, knowing that their plan to split us up would work." He said to her."What we should be focused on right now is to win this bet, so you won't have to abort our baby.""And how do you propose we do that, huh? We should have thought--no. You should have thought hard before making that stupid dare!" Hailey roared out. This was the first time Tobin was seeing her angry."Don't worry about that. I will make it up to us. You'll win, Hailey. You just have to trust me." Tobin promised. The drive home was silent. He went inside and called Holly."Hailey, my wife must win the bid

    "Mother, we can't let this position go to Hailey!" Rosa yelled again. She had been talking to her mother nonstop.Cami rolled her eyes. "Oh come on, child. You and your brother have been nothing but disappointed to me all this while! Thank goodness he's back at the navy. But you, you're still with me here!""Let me be the CEO. I know I can do a better work than Hailey.""Ha! You can go get yourself a husband first. Then resume work immediately. And come back to tell me all of this again." Cami said. "Let's just call uncle Tommy!" Rosa blurted out. The mention of this name again made Cami to shiver in fear. "Shut up your loose mouth or I'll shut it for you!" Cami threatened. Rosa is wondering why her mother is always so tensed whenever that name pops up. But she said nothing."Fine. Then let's call them and remake this bet. Hailey cannot be the family CEO. Never!" Rosa said finally."Alright then. What is your plan for this? Even if we remake the bet, she might just win." Cami aske

This woman was not even up to her age!"Don't mind them." Tobin said. "They can be like this sometimes! And we're related only because they're my in laws."Sonia smiled, "Oh is that so?"Tobin heard Cami and her daughter muttering angrily behind as Tobin didn't take their side. But he said nothing and smiled again."Ms. Sonia, I'll leave you alone now." Tobin said and walked away from her.He had a reserved seat and Hailey was there already. Cami and her daughter saw that they've had their seat, so they hurried to join them."Well all this show offs can stop now." Cami said. "Let's get on with this, shall we?""Yes I couldn't agree more. You've promised that Hailey will take over the family business if I can manage to kick David out." Tobin began to say.The looks on his in laws faces were totally shoc

    The end of the day, Tobin invited his in laws as well as his wife to a very expensive restaurant."Wow, this isn't possible." Rosa said to her mother. She just received the message from Tobin."What is it?" Cami asked."Tobin invited us to Dinner House! It's this seven star rated restaurant and the biggest in town according to ratings." she exclaimed. Cami rolled her eyes. "Of course I know Dinner House." Cami said. "But is that even possible? How did he get a reservation?""Exactly! I'm as surprised as you, mom." Replied Rosa. "Well he said by 8pm. We better hurry up, it's past 6 now."Cami crunched her nose in detest. "Well we have to go late. Like thirty minutes late." this made her daughter to frown."But why?""Because dummy, we need to show him that we've still got some self respect! This is how we are. Just because he won doesn't mean we change our ways for him.""Yes you're right! Let's go, one hour late!"Cami hated how dumb her daughter can be. "No you moron. Thirty minutes

Do you know who David is? And you think you can send him just like that!" the woman yelled out.Tobin's voice was still so calm it even surprised him. "Miss, calm down. We can discuss this like the mature people we are.""What nonsense! And you still have mouth to talk??" The woman grunted. "I've called my brother and he's coming right here! You'll sleep in jail. You and your faceless CEO!""You shouldn't talk to him like that. Watch your tongue, woman." Tobin was starting to get angry now."Or what will happen, huh?? This is absurd! This little act of yours will make you suffer! You'll pay for this!""Is this why you have decided to meet with me? To embarrass me?" Tobin asked.The woman rolled her eyes. "Ha!

    The door barged open and about five hefty men walked in."You're coming with us, now!" in a thunderous voice, one of the men said. The rest bounced forward and held David by the arms before he could think straight.Realizing that his life was about to be ruined, he panicked and kicked one of the men on the foot. Waiting that the man would cry out in pain, it didn't happen. Instead, he looked at him and grunted."Wait, wait! What is this? Do you know who I am!" David began to panic."Take him out right now." The man who was like their leader commanded and before he knew it, David was already dragged outside."No. This isn't happening! Don't touch me! I'm calling the police!" he continued to yell but it didn't stop them from dragging him out.Rosa couldn't believe her eyes. "What? How can...wait, who is doing this?" she stared out in shock.Does this mean that that stupid Tobin has won the bet?? No way! She thought.Immediately, she took out her phone and started to record.
