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

“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

“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

“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
The Secret Life of Him 43. The rat
Floyd’s hands slightly trembled in rage as he watched the video that Western gave him. It was just posted thirty minutes ago but had already gained a lot of views and comments. Some were already sharing the post. How can this possibly happen? Yes, they announced their movie. The title, the cast, and the poster. They just finished finalizing the trailer and teaser just now. But he was watching it already from the video that the Jacinto network posted.“This is… Only our names and casts are not in the video. But this was an exact copy of our trailer!” Brenda exclaimed.Floyd put down the phone and looked around. He suddenly felt the place crumbling slowly and his ears were ringing. Suddenly, he felt small and useless. He tried to fight normally, but it felt like his efforts were not enough. All people with money would do everything just to be on top.“How could this happen?” asked Western. “Only we

“I enjoyed our chat, my nephew,” Scarlett said while smiling. “Young master.” She slightly bowed.They had just finished their meeting and were now leaving the restaurant. Floyd was successful in getting Scarlett as co-producer. Though, it was not really that hard because Scarlett said yes almost immediately.“Thank you, Auntie. I am delighted that you accepted me.”Scarlett laughed and lightly tapped his shoulder. “Of course. You are my favorite nephew now.”“T-Thank you,” he said tensely. Though he was not sure if she meant it. He could feel that there was something about Scarlett.“Okay. I must go now. I still have a lot of meetings to go to.” Scarlett faced the three of them. She looked at Minerva. “Miss Wang. Jude. You two look after the young master, okay?”“Yes, madam,” Minerva and Jude answered in chorus
