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. 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! You think this is embarrassment? You haven't seen anything! I will sue Smiths automobiles. And make
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
Finally, they were inside when Sonia rushed forward to let them in."I am so sorry." she said, "I didn't know these arrogant fools were related to you!""How dare you!" Cami yelled out. 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
"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
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
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,
Tobin was well dressed that morning. He had just two suits but he treated them nice, ironed them and kept them well. Now, he was at the company where he had been invited for an interview. He was positive this time. "Good morning, sir." He said to the man handling the interview. That man used to be friendly before but now, his face was squeezed into a frown. Tobin quickly replied. "Good morning, sir." Even though the man looked younger than him, he still respected him. "I'm sorry but we can't offer you the job anymore. Please leave now." He said bluntly. Tobin couldn't believe his eyes. "Sir, please hold on. It's just that, I--" "I will call the security now if you don't leave." The man said. Someone walked in and called him Mr. Ken. "Mr. Ken, please hear me out." Tobin said but before he could continue, Ken had already called security to chase Tobin away...one would think he was a thief. Robin's ego was suddenly crushed like a berry fruit under a car tire. With swollen eyes and
Hello, 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

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. "Oh mom, we'
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
