2024-10-29 19:42:56Hello, Mr. Smith." The old man introduced himself to Tobin. He went ahead to lead him inside the mansion.
Tobin was feeling a little scared even to enter such a big house, but he was interested in what the man had to say after referring to him as 'young master'.
He sat down on the mighty chair and was offered what to drink.
"No, I'm fine, please." Tobin said. He didn't even have the stomach to eat anything as fear and anxiety had paralyzed his insides.
"My name is Federico Alonzo, your family's butler." The man was saying but Tobin cut him off.
"Family butler? What are you saying please?"
"When you were young and little, you were the young master of this whole household, sire. But your family was betrayed." There was a scowl on his face. "We lost them all, sadly to an unfortunate accident."
"Wait, my parents?" Suddenly, his memory was blurred. How come he couldn't remember a damn thing?
"The shock must have left you without these memories. That's why you can't remember anything clearly from your past." Federico said.
Tobin couldn't disagree. But still, he needed proof to know that what the man was saying was the truth. So he kept quiet and let him continue.
"After everything went haywire, some of the maids in the household, a family of five, took you in. But they pretended as if they loved you, when only in reality, they wanted to take away all your money for themselves."
"Why did you let them take me then?" Tobin said.
"Because at that moment, I didn't know that they didn't love you genuinely. Plus it happened so fast. It wasn't until recently that I saw how badly they treated you."
Tobin frowned. "But the only family I've ever remembered living with are the Blanco household, my wife's family!" He said and the old man nodded.
"That is correct, young master. They took you in and pretended to love you only because of your wealth."
His heart ached and he suddenly felt weak. "They treated me wrongly, old man. They mistreated me and made me such a useless man! They wouldn't even give me any job in L.A! What have I done wrong to deserve such hate from them?"
"I am truly sorry to hear, young master. I hear one of them has lost his life to a terminal disease now." Federico said but it was more like a question.
Tobin nodded. "My father in law, yes. He died two years ago. Now, my mother in law has all the control in the world, taking inheritance from her late husband along with power too."
"They took your fortune and wealth illegally, thinking that they have won. But luckily for you sire, what they thought they've stolen is just a tip of the iceberg. Your main wealth has been kept hidden and safe by me all these years, waiting for you to come back and restore your lost glory."
"Wow this is too much to hear. Not that I'm not happy, I am."
"Truly, I am gratified that you're here now. So as the surviving heir of the Smith household, please take over your position as the family CEO."
Tobin was more than happy even. He still couldn't even contain the joy that was in his heart. But he needed to be smart about his reply.
"You know that I am still alive because I've been in hiding. Nobody knows that a member of the Smith household still survived till this day." He said and the old man nodded.
"You're right. It might not be such a good idea to put you out there just yet. Even your family as well, that's your wife."
"Yes. She's the only family I've got. And you now," he said with a smile. "Which is why I will keep my identity a secret for now."
After it seemed like they'd agreed, he asked his butler how about his family's assets.
"I'll prepare all the documents and forward it to your email today sir." The old man said.
"Also, can you make a transfer to an account of mine?"
"Yes. It will only be a token, just a few million dollars that will be under your name."
Tobin smiled at the idea. A few million dollars? For him??
They ended their meeting and Tobin bidded the old man goodbye. "We'll talk again so you can wait for further instructions." He said to him and the man nudged a low bow.
Tobin hurried back home to share the good news. He knew his wife would have been worried by now. The evening had dimmed even more, drawing nearer to nightfall.
He had to conceal his joy as he couldn't tell her the full story yet about who he really was, at least for the time being, to protect her from harm.
He was at the doorstep when he heard his wife's voice. She seemed worried. "Well what are we going to do now?"

Hailey had received a call from her mother, Cami, and it seemed urgent. She picked up from her laptop and the video call connected through. Her mother was a little bit skinny despite her two surgeries and millions of money spent on beauty tips. Her full lips was in a pause as the call went through. She saw her daughter staring at her and her eyes widened. "Oh my goodness, Rosa, Justin! Come and look at your sister. See how thin and unkempt she is!"Hailey frowned at how dramatic her mother could be. Her siblings had popped their heads through the screen too, observing her. "Indeed she looks so thin." Rosa, Hailey's younger sister said. Justin was the last born and only boy. He was always so reserved and hated interfering with his family in general. He popped his head to stare at Hailey but with no comment, he went back to his business, leaving just Rosa and her mother."Of course she is. Since she's been married to such a poor man, what else do you think!" Cami said."Yes mother.

The day for announcement came, and even though the winner wouldn't be announced until six in the evening, the Blanco family were already around. Cami dressed like a queen, long gown and hair wrapped neatly in a bun. Her daughter, Rosa followed in her footstep, leaving only Justin in a casual wear. He had an headphone plugged to his ear so no one actually knew if he could hear anything or not."Look at this place even, such a garbage hole." Rosa said in disgust."Of course dear. They're so poor, what do you expect?" Her mother replied.Tobin and his wife could only stare as they continued to insult them. Suddenly, Rosa got up."Sister, where are you going to?" Hailey asked."Water. I need some water in the fridge, why are you acting like I've come to steal or something!" she scoffed."No, I'm just asking--""-let her take it, Hailey." Tobin said. He was already getting angry now. Why would they all come to his house like that?She took some water along with one of the best wines from

Soon enough, the news was tuned in and the whole family gathered before the TV's screen to hear winner's announcement. A lady was now talking in the TV. Immediately, Tobin could recognize her. She was the secretary at his firm. "Hello everyone, I'm Holly Reinfred, secretary from Smiths Automobiles, and I bring you news concerning the bidding of our contract." She began to say, and everyone tensed up, ears sharply pointed with attention. "I will be representing Mr Smith, our firm's CEO..." When she brought up his name, Tobin had to pause and stare around with an awkward expression on his face. His heart pounded loud and be was now wondering if anyone of them had somehow linked it to the fact that his name had just been called out.After a while, he realized thay none of them seemed to notice, even his wife. He gave a relief sigh.The lady continued to talk, as she thanked the names mentioned. She announced also that more names could be added, and from there, Tobin had began to reali

"You brat, what is a wretched man like you doing here?" Sandro said.Tobin rolled his eyes. He had to careful around men like him. Men like Sandro were pigs and he had to be careful, else he would drag him into the mud."Sandro, what a surprise, what's a man like you doing in this really important place?" Tobin said with an amused tone.Sandro frowned. "Listen to me, you have no idea who you're messing with.""I'm not messing with anyone. Mind your business, and I'll mind mine." Tobin said, not so smiley now."Ha! Look at you trying to talk to me like a man when you've been stripped off that right a long time ago. You're here for another pathetic interview, aren't you?" Sandro said mocking him.Tobin couldn't help but remember all the time when he had been searching for a job and was always getting declined. So, this fool knew about it too.

He had meeting with Cami, and he knew she didn't like lateness."Sandro, lovely to see you here. I am glad you could make it." Cami welcomed him with a smile as soon as she stepped foot in the living room. Rosa was there too. "Thank you so much, sweet Cami." Sandro said."Go on, Rosa. Go fetch your brother in law a drink." Cami said to Rosa, then turned to Sandro. "Tell me, Sandro, how did it go? Do we have a shot?" Sandro had worked his lies on his way there. He gave a heavy sigh, showing concern. He could notice Cami was always frowning. He has to be a lot more dramatic!"Oh dear Cami, it just happened so fast!" He began. "Today was just so very funny actually, I got in.

Except now he just remember that his wife's bidding hadn't been accepted! He called for Holly immediately. "Hey, you and I have to talk, you know that right?"Holly sat down on the chair before him. "Sir, I have...I don't know how to say this--""Be blunt with me, Holly. Why was my early instructions about giving the bidding to my wife not carried through?." Tobin said."Okay, sir. This was simply because the needs of the company are far larger than your wife's bid can handle. So...I postponed it, hoping to discuss this matter with you first about how to proceed.""What?" Tobin fumed angrily. "What are you even saying, Holly?""Truth is, that's just bullshit sir. The main problem is because of your enemies here in the company! They don't like the fac

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.

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.

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.

Tobin's brows furrowed as he frowned. "What are you talking about miss? Why did you hit me?""I'm going to hit you more! How can a low life like you embarrass my family this way?? 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.

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.

David's laughter was a roar. "What nonsense are you saying, Tobin? How can you make such a foolish bet?""That's how he is." Rosa said, "he thinks he's somehow important so he goes around making silly bets."Hailey wanted to talk, but she trusted her husband. However, she was more suspicious now than ever. Tobin seems more confident nowadays, and she knew it was because he had a nice job now. But standing up against someone like David?"Now, Hailey will resume work and make the most of the company. Since this one here has proved to be bad at everything she does," Tobin said, not looking at Rosa even though he was talking about her.Rosa wanted to say something but was cut off by David."What is your plan, huh! Start talking now." David was starting to think Tobin was weird. How can such a low life speak to him like that? Maybe he was on drugs."You claim you know the CEO, but I'll prove you wrong. You'll be kicked out of work tomorrow like a trash. I'd like to see how this invisible

On getting home, Tobin could already hear the voice of his in-laws. He had stepped out with Holly for a quick shopping and now, back home when he heard the voice of Rosa.Rosa was a lousy lady, just like her mother, Cami. 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." Hailey said. She sighted Tobin and smiled. "You're, back honey."Just as Tobin was about to ask, he saw someone he never imagined to see. "David???" he
