My father is my Mother.That was the title of the movie that Floyd’s company would create. It’s about a single father who has raised his own child since he was an infant. Then the mother came back just to file a case to get her son. Floyd loved the plot because it related to him. They had already created a poster for their movie and decided to post it online. Along with the casting call for the actors and actresses. A lot were waiting for the movie and cannot wait anymore to watch it. Their movie, which was not yet out, was trending online and offline. While the Jacinto network posted their movie poster too. They already had their actors and actresses. But they didn’t even get a thousand likes from users. “What the hell is this, huh? Is this even from this company?!” Dwayne roared inside their meeting room as he saw the data about their new movie. It was for the movie festival that Floyd was attending. All his executives looked down and did not even peek at him. More especially hi
Floyd couldn’t answer Minerva. He just heard Minerva keep on coughing on the other line. He didn’t know that she was still there. More importantly, why was his company burning?!“Fuck! Wait, Minerva! I’ll go there now!” “P-Please!” Floyd rushed back inside. Raquel and Trace looked at him in confusion when he suddenly took his bag. “Where are you going?” Raquel asked. “I need to go back to the company. It’s burning!” “What?” The two of them stood up too. Floyd did not wait for them anymore and went out again. He needed to save Minerva. He immediately found a taxi and rode there. When he reached the company, there were firemen already on the site. Some passerby was watching the company. Floyd's eyes widened when he saw that the company was already burning from the top. ‘What happened here?’ he asked himself. He immediately went in the entrance but some police who were also already at the site stopped him. “You can’t go in, sir! It’s dangerous!” “No! There is still someone inside
“Is it done?” asked Dwayne over his phone. He was standing in front of the window and over viewing the dark outside of their mansion.“Yes, boss. That building is now falling.” “You know I cannot get my name connected to this, okay?” “Of course. You don’t have to worry, sir.” “I’ll ask my secretary to send you the money tomorrow,” he said, and then hung up the phone. Dwayne took the glass of whiskey and poured it into his glass. He couldn’t stop smiling and thinking that the JL network was now burning. He doesn’t care. All those who tried to make him the enemy will fall down hard. Dwayne drank the alcohol and felt the burning sensation in his throat through his stomach. “Yes!” he said happily, as he couldn’t contain the satisfaction that he was feeling right now. And at that moment, the door of their room was opened hard. Then Roxane came rushing. “Honey! Dwayne!” Roxane went to Dwayne’s side. “Did you hear that the JL network is burning now?” Dwayne looked at Roxane for a second
Floyd was relieved when he saw that Minerva was really okay. She was still unconscious because of the smoke she inhaled. That was why he couldn’t call her anymore. She lost consciousness while talking with her. Floyd was seated on a couch facing Minerva’s bed. He never removed his eyes from Minerva when they arrived in the room. Jude’s phone suddenly rang and he answered it. It was Johnson Lim. “Okay, master.” Jude went to Floyd’s side and bowed while giving the phone to him. “Young master. Your father wanted to talk with you.” Floyd came back to his senses. He was busy thinking about the fire. Though Minerva was okay now and they never heard any casualties. He still cannot stop worrying. He took a deep breath and got the phone from Jude’s hand. “Father.” “Floyd, my son. How are you?” Johnson Lim asked in a low voice. He was about to sleep when he heard about the news. “I’m… I-I’m okay, Father. You don’t have to worry about me. I was not at the scene when the fire happened.
When Floyd accepted his life as Johnson Lim's son, he never thought this would happen. He thought he just needed to learn how to become his heir. But no one told him that he would need to fight for his life too. That the business world was this dirty. Dwayne Jacinto, Floyd can't think why he would burn the JL network. Did he learn that he was the owner already? But that was outrageous! How can a man be so cruel? Though, he never really cared about what had been lost to him now. He can immediately create a new building for his new company. But thinking that life was almost lost because of his actions was what he could never accept. “Sir! You must stop this madness!” Jude stood in front of Floyd. He immediately bowed when he saw Floyd’s glaring eyes. “P-Please! I can’t let you go, sir. You said you wanted them to learn. You want to get your son! How are you going to get Miguel if you rush on them now?” “Maybe I can get my son faster if they know now.” “S-Sir, please! I don’t want yo

Floyd waited until a doctor came to their room to check on Carla. He felt upset seeing more bruises on her legs. His curiosity grew more because of it. He was at the side just waiting for the doctor. Minerva, who was still in bed, was watching too.“We will prepare a room for you, Miss Carla,” said the doctor.Carla’s eyes widened and shook her head. “N-No! I don’t want to be alone, please.” She looked at Floyd. “Please.”Floyd cleared his throat and went to Carla’s side. “It’s okay, doctor. She can stay here.”“Okay. But she needed a rest.”“Ahm. You can bring another bed here instead,” Minerva said.&
“Where have you been?” Floyd stopped entering his room when he saw Aby inside. “Aby. You didn’t tell me you’re coming home.” Aby smiled. She put down the magazine she was reading to the table. Then she stood up and went to Floyd. She was about to kiss him on the cheeks when she smelled the alcohol he drinks. “Are you drunk?” Floyd shook his head. He closed the door and smiled at Aby. “Yeah… A bit. Danica brought me to a club and Nelson was there too. I can’t say no to him. You know…” “O… kay? I understand. Come on.” Aby helped Floyd to sit on the couch. “Let me prepare tea for you.” “No need, Aby.” Floyd grunted. “Sit with me.” Aby sighed. She sat beside Floyd. “How’s your company? Is it okay now?” Aby nodded. “Yeah. Actually, I wanted to say thanks again, that's why I’m here.” “It’s okay, Aby. I already told you.” “I know. But I think it’s still not enough. You can ask me a favor. Anything! I will do it.” Floyd chuckled. “Be careful what you wished for, Aby.” “Huh?” Aby f
“He was just appointed, and he is already wasting money!” Carlo exclaimed. “He just invested at his wife’s company! We should do something about this, Father!”Arnel grunted. “I know. We’ve been ignoring the Chua’s proposal. And yet he even bought a stock for his wife?”“Tsk! I know that woman is just after our money!” Carla said.“But what can we do? He is now the chairman. He could do everything he wanted.” Crude took a sip from his glass.“You are not helping, Crude.” Carla glared at her brother. Crude just shrugged about it.“No… this should end now!”The siblings smiled as they saw the determination on their father’s face. They will never accept Floyd as their new master. They will take company no matter what.~~~“Is everything here?” Amethyst asked their head maid.“Yes, madam.”“Okay. I want everything to be perfect, okay?”“As you wish, Madam. You can trust us.”Amethyst smiled and let the head maid go. That was the time when Floyd went down from his room. He looked around an
Floyd woke up early to go back to his office. But even before he left, he received a call from his secretary.“Young master, your wife needs you.”Floyd looked at Johnson while fixing his necktie. “What happened?”“His Uncle is causing a scene in their company. Also, Leah told me to check your email. It’s done already.”Floyd sighed and stopped what he was doing. “I knew this would happen.” He shook his head. “Do I have any important meetings right now?”“Ahm, you have—”“Cancel it. Let’s go visit my wife.”Floyd finished fixing himself. He hurried out of the mansion and got into a car. Maybe that's why Aby can't tell him directly about his problem. Because it's embarrassing. But Floyd owes Aby a lot. And as they agreed he will help him. Not because she is his wife on paper, but because she is also his best friend.Before entering the building, he saw people holding placards in front of Chua's building.“What is happening here?”“I think they are protesting, sir. I’ve heard that the C
“So, how’s the new chairman?”Floyd stopped staring at the documents when he heard a voice. He looked at the door and saw Aby approaching her.“Aby! Sit down!” he said gracefully. He put the papers down and hugged Aby. “How are you?”“Good. Just a bit stressed out.”“That’s too early?”Aby sighed. She sat down at the chair near Floyd’s table. Floyd then sat back in his chair and stared at Aby.“I know, this is too sudden. And you just got appointed. But I need your help now.”“What kind of help?”Aby looked away. She didn’t want to do this but she had to. Her uncle was already pressuring her family. She didn’t want them to want her family to lose their business.“I need your family to invest in us.”Floyd frowned a bit. Aby didn’t tell him anything about investing in their company. He sighed and interlocked his fingers.“I-I know this is sudden. But—” Aby sighed. “Okay. I’ll be honest with you. Our family is not in a good situation now. We might lose our business if you won’t help me.
The next day, Floyd went to Lim’s company. Everyone was preparing for the board meeting. The family will be present and all of their business partners. Everyone was waiting to meet the next chairman. Words had passed so fast.“I will announce to everyone now that you will be the chairman of the company,” Johnson said. The three of them were in his office, getting ready to go to the company. “For sure, there would be some board members who would not agree. But I have already made sure of your position. You need to be strong now, Floyd. I believe in you.”Floyd took a deep breath. “I don’t know, Father. I’m nervous.”“That’s okay, brother. It’s normal. But we are here for you. We will guide you and make sure that you are in that position,” Johan answered.“Yes. As long as your brother handles our security company. No one will dare touch you. I trust you with it, Johan.”“Of course, Father.”Floyd nodded. He fisted her arms and took a deep breath again. He couldn’t explain how nervous he
Their night continued. Johnson rested early because he suddenly felt that he was tired. Amethyst helped him to his room. The rest except for Arnel Lim’s family stayed in the dining area. They were drinking wine. The kids were dancing and playing. Others remained to talk about business-related matters.“Mom, do I really need to be married to Floyd again?” Aby asked her mother. They were on the other side of the room. She had been thinking about the marriage they’d talked about earlier. She agreed to it, but she was worried about Floyd.“Why? Is there something you wanted to tell me, Abigail?”Aby’s eyes widened a bit. “Ahh, no. Of course, none. I’m just worried. You saw what happened earlier, right?”“It’s normal. You have the same uncle as your husband. What we need to do is to ensure our family's position in this clan. Being with them will make us prosper more. Since you are back here, you will work at our company again.”“Huh? But I need to go back to Croatia soon.”“What will you
The room was filled with silence. The music had stopped and no one dared to make another sound. Even the kids were looking in Johnson’s direction, wanting to hear what his announcement was.“I have finally decided to retire now. I’m old and I need to pay more attention to my health. I am now appointing my son, Johnson Floyd Lim, to be the next master of this family and chairman of our business. I trust him to make our businesses grow more, and I am hoping that you will all support him in everything. I will also continue helping him while I’m still here.”The room was filled with more silence. They all had mixed emotions about learning that the family would have a new master. Arnel’s eyes narrowed and he tightened his fists. He looked away and tried to control himself. They all expected that Johnson would appoint him. But not this fast.Amethyst smiled. She stood up with her husband. Their children followed them and faced Floyd.“My family is glad and willing to serve you, Johnson Floy
“Do we really have to do this? We’re just having dinner?” Floyd asked. He had just finished showering when he learned Jude was inside his room already. He was with some maids that were preparing a tuxedo for him.“Yes, young master. This is how it should be. So, if you may?”Jude pointed to the chair in front of the mirror. Floyd was surprised that there was a mirror and a reclining chair already. His room in this mansion was bigger than his room at his mansion. It was like another house inside a house. Floyd sat down in the chair. Jude immediately put a cloth on his body as his cover. It was tied to his neck but was not hurting him. He watched him put out a small box, and he was more surprised when he saw that it was a shaving tool.“You know I don’t have any hair on my face, right?”Jude continued preparing. “You have, young master.”Floyd sighed. He was still not used to his new life. He thought having a mansion back to his home was already extreme. He didn’t realize this place was
“Nothing to worry about now. You just need to rest a lot more and wait for your bruises to heal,” said Johnson's personal doctor. He was called immediately by Johan to check on Floyd.“Thank you, doctor.”“It’s nice meeting you, young master.” The doctor bowed. “I will go to your father now.”Floyd nodded. He got up from bed and wore his clothes. He was in his room in the mansion because Johnson asked him to rest again after their brief meeting. Floyd was still confused about what his father had said earlier. Everything won’t be easy for him. But he didn’t want this, right?Floyd looked at the door when he heard a knock. It opened and Aby came in.“Floyd, we need—” Aby’s eyes widened when he saw Floyd was half naked. She immediately turned around. “I-I’m sorry! I didn’t know that you were changing.”“It’s okay.” Floyd took his new polo shirt and wore it. “Okay now.”Aby took a deep breath and turned around again. “Ahm. I just want to check on you. How are you?” she asked. She never go
