The Secret Life of Him 36. We can't lose her.
“Will this be really okay?” Carla asked in hesitation.Minerva smiled at Carla and nodded. “Yes. Don’t worry. Our attorney has already sent your request for the termination of your contract with the Jacinto network. And it’s immediate.”“They will ask for money, for sure. They will never let me go that easy. I-I'm worried. What if they hurt my family?”“Don't worry about money. We are filling your case now. Anyone from the Jacinto network is not allowed to get near you. Or your family. All you need to do now is to focus on your therapy. Okay?”Carla sighed. They had been living in the house that Minerva gave them. Since then, she and her family have never gone out of that house. She had a lot of her friends telling her that Norman, her manager, was looking for her. Some are trying to get information that she knew it was because of him too.“Okay. Thank you.”&n
The Secret Life of Him 37. You can never get him!
It was the day that Floyd had been waiting for. The first hearing was for the custody of Miguel. He wanted to get full custody of his son because he knew that being with Roxane and Dwayne would do nothing good for him. He doesn’t have a plan to take Miguel away from Roxane. He would at least give her visitation rights and let him see Miguel. But he will never give him Miguel again like now.“Do you want us to accompany you, sir?” Jude asked. He was following Floyd.“No. It’s much better if I go there alone. I don’t want Roxane to be suspicious.”Floyd stopped walking when he was in front of the car. He removed the top button of his long white sleeve. Jude gave him his brown jacket and he wore it. Finally, he scanned himself in the car's side. His hair was a bit long now for him, but still okay. It just added more to his charm. He slightly fixed his hair going through his face, then fixed his jacket again.&nbs
The Secret Life of Him 38. She did it again!
One week ago.Roxane was drinking her wine while waiting for Dwayne to come home. She hadn’t got a chance to talk with him earlier because he was too busy at the company. The hearing of her custody battle with Floyd was nearing. But she still doesn’t have a nice plan. Yes, Dwayne gave her the best attorneys. She felt it was still not enough. She must do something.Not long ago, Dwayne got home. Roxane greeted him.“Are you okay?” Dwayne immediately asked when he noticed that Roxane was tense.“Ahm. Actually, I’m not.”Dwayne touched Roxane’s arm and slightly scratched it. “What is it? What’s bothering you?”Roxane sighed and took her wine glass again. She drank it. “The hearing. It will happen next week. I’m worried that Floyd will take Miguel away from me.”Dwayne smirked and shook his head. “Are you ser
The Secret Life of Him 39. Raquel's tears
“Here we are.” Floyd put his card in the scanner and the door opened. “I’m sorry. My place is kind of… dirty?” Floyd was amazed when he saw the place was not what he expected. He told Jude to find him an average apartment, but this looked extravagant even though it was studio-type. At the end of the room, his king-sized bed was near the big window. He could see from their position that he also had a terrace. At their side, there was a door that he thought was the bathroom area. Floyd removed his shoes and then continued walking in the doorway. Then he saw the kitchen just right at the side of the bathroom. ‘I said simply. This is not simple,’ Floyd thought while shaking his head. Most of the things were new and he had just seen them now except for the oven and refrigerator. There was a coffee maker at the top of the counter and an oven toaster. There were cabinets hanging on the wall too. He wondered what was inside the refrigerator so he opened it. And to his surprise, it was full of

The Secret Life of Him 40. Karma
“Stop here,” Roxane commanded her driver. The car stopped in front of the gate of the compound of her old apartment. Raquel got out of the car in her elegant black dress and high stiletto. “This place did not change at all,” she said in disgust. “Wait for me here. I will not be long.”Roxane walked through the gate that her driver had already opened for her. She looked at the apartment she used to live with Floyd. ‘I can’t believe I used to live in this place.’ She shook her head. She will never be back in this place again. Roxane stopped walking when she reached the house of Raquel. The door was closed but she could hear loud music from inside. She knocked.“Are you inside?” Roxane called as she knocked. “Raquel!”Roxane
The Secret Life of Him 41. The Presscon
Love.That was the reason why Floyd’s life turned upside down. His love for Roxane gave him the worst thing in his life. She hurt him to the point that he never thought of having anyone at his side again. What was more important for him now was his son. He needed to take him away from that man, Dwayne Jacinto. But after what happened that night with Raquel, his conscience was eating him. He felt guilty that he had rejected Raquel. She had been too kind to him and this was what he gave in exchange, hurting her feelings.“Any updates for Raquel?” Floyd asked while sipping his coffee. He was having his breakfast in the mansion and Jude was waiting for him at his side.“She had been ignoring the messages and calls, sir. I sent some gifts to her house but no one was opening the door.”Floyd sighed. “It’s okay. I will call her myself instead,” he said. Though, Raquel was not answering his c
The Secret Life of Him 42. Gone
“Where is she?” Trace asked their staff. It was already noon but Carla was still not coming to their set. It was her role that they will be filming today.“She’s still not here, sir. I had already called her manager. But she, too, was not answering.”Trace nodded. “Okay. Prepare the other artist. We cannot wait anymore. I’ll just call someone.”“Okay, sir.”Trace stood up from his chair and took out his phone. He went out of the studio and lit up his cigarette while dialing Floyd’s number. It was not long before Floyd answered his call.“Floyd! How are you?”“I’m okay. Why?”“I’m sorry to call you now. But do you happen to know where Miss Rivera is now? She’s still not on the set.”Floyd, who was in his office on the top floor, suddenly felt worried. He hadn’t as

“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

122. The Club
“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

121. His help
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

120. A warning
“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.

119. The new Chairman
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

118. Deal
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

117. The new master
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

116. Dinner time
“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

115. Best friends
“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
