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

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
