Floyd woke up with a smile. He was excited because it was the premiere day of their movie. It was also the day of the showing of the film that will compete in the yearly movie festival in the country. A lot of the personalities will be viewing movies in an exclusive movie theater. And Floyd’s team was already happy because they had already got a positive response to the online booking of movie tickets.
“Good luck with your movie, young master,” Jude said with a smile. He was standing at the side of Floyd wearing his dress shirt. He gave the necktie to him.
“Thank you, Jude. I am expecting a positive outcome today.” Floyd fixed his necktie. “Have you talked with Raquel?”
“No, sir. She was still not responding.”
Floyd sighed. He had already tried going to Raquel’s place himself but she was not there anymore. He learned that they had left the place. She must have been really hurt a
Carla’s death had become the talk of the town at the same time that the movie premiere was happening. Minerva decided not to go to the theater and rest instead because she was grieving for her friend. Floyd let him out and he went to the theater alone. Even there, Floyd heard that some of their team were talking about Carla.“It must have been hard for her.”“Yeah. She is too young to go. Life is really unexpected.”“She has a reason for sure.”“Well, she was not the first actress of the Jacinto network who killed herself.”Floyd suddenly became curious. He stopped walking and acted like he was talking with somebody on the phone.“Remember Julie? She also committed suicide. She was an actress on that network. It was really a curse being their star.”“Ah, right! You are right!”Floyd remembered the said a
“Wait!” Western stood up in front of the karaoke. He took the microphone and got the attention of their team. “We have other good news!” he shouted. “Our movie was nominated in every category at the movie festival!” They all clapped and congratulated each other. Floyd was happy about the news and he decided to add more alcohol and food to their table. “No one will go home not drunk tonight!” “Yes!” The room was once again filled with laughter and singing. Everyone was happy and delighted because of their achievement. Just being nominated was a big deal for them already. Meaning, they really did well. Trace was happy for their team too. He should be proud of himself but he couldn’t do it. He felt it was not right for him to celebrate. He had wronged every person inside this room right now. “Trace!” Floyd sat next to Trace. “Are you okay now?” Trace frowned. “Yes. I am. Why shouldn’t I be okay?” Floyd shrugged his shoulders. “You were not talking with me the last time.” “I-I’m
Floyd reached the mansion. Jude greeted him and followed him through his room. “I’ve already sent bodyguards to Trace’s house, young master. They’ll be there as a lookout. Secretly.” “Thank you,” Floyd answered. “I want to rest now, Jude. Please call Miss Wang and tell her that I want her here first thing in the morning.” “Yes, sir.” Floyd went to his room and drifted his body to the bed. He was a bit tipsy and his head was already spinning. He doesn’t know if he was hurt or angry because of what just happened. Floyd decided to close his eyes and let himself rest. The next day, Floyd woke up with knocks on his door. Then it opened and Minerva entered. “Sir, you called–” Minerva’s eyes widened when he saw that Floyd was just standing up from his bed. He was only wearing boxer shorts and his hair was messy. How could a man who just woke up still look so pretty? She gulped when her eyes fell on Floyd’s body. Minerva immediately turned her back and winced. ‘You’re so stupid, Minerv
“I-I don’t know, Floyd. He just went out after he left me with this,” Jane said. She was Trace’s wife. After Floyd talked with Trace on the phone, he went to his wife to find answers. But Trace was not there anymore and his wife didn't know anything either. Floyd took the flash drive from Jane. “Do you have any idea where he could be right now?” Jane’s eyes turned red. “I-I don’t know, Floyd! I don’t have any idea. P-Please. My husband. Save him. Please!” Jane held Floyd’s hands. Floyd sighed and patted Jane's back. He was too worried about Trace. But because of what happened, it just angered him more. He clenched his fists and went out of the house. “Give me the key,” Floyd asked his driver. “Where are you going, sir?” Jude asked Floyd. He could see the rage in his eyes. And he was worried that his young master might do something without thinking right. “I will talk with Dwayne.” Jude's eyes widened. He was right! “Young master! You can't go there!” “What could possibl
Roxane took a deep breath when Floyd was already out of the room. She tried to relax even though she could feel that her knees were already trembling. It was a mistake that she brought Floyd to Dwayne. How could she be so stupid?!“What was that, Roxane?” Dwayne asked, which made Roxane tremble more.Roxane gulped and sighed again. She forced a smile and turned to Dwayne. “Y-Yes, love?” she asked innocently. She tried to make her voice normal but she couldn’t hide her fear. Dwayne was not showing emotions but she could feel the coldness he was giving her.How could this happen? Dwayne was sweet and treated her like a queen. But suddenly he became someone she couldn’t imagine.“I’m asking you, Roxane. What was that? Why did you bring him here? Are you trying to make me jealous because of what I did to you?”Roxane’s eyes widened. The truth was when Dwayne learn
Life was good. At least for now. That was what Floyd was thinking. They got most of the awards. His team was happy because of their achievements. He was happy too, but he should have been happier if Trace had been there too.“Now for our Best Movie award!”“Oh my God! Here it is!” Brenda said.Floyd gulped and looked at the screen. The movie names that were nominated showed up on the screen.“The title is ours now for sure!”Dwayne, who was just a table away from Floyd’s team, smirked. Their movie was not on the list but he was confident. He couldn’t wait to see the disappointment in Floyd’s team's eyes.“The winner of this year’s Best Movie award goes to…” The emcee stopped and frowned. She looked at the screen and looked at the paper again. “Ahm.” She laughed tensely.“What is going on?” We
“H-How?”Floyd's knees became soft. He slightly loses his balance but manages to stand up. Floyd shook his head. “W-Why? How?! Somebody give me an answer!” Floyd shouted as he looked at Trace. He was lying on the cold table with a thin white blanket covering his body. Floyd couldn’t even look at his bulging face. Trace was so pale that the dark circle on his face could be seen. The black line on his neck was noticeable too. It was breaking Floyd’s heart. He couldn’t think how hard it must have been for Trace. Jude cleared his throat. “H-He was seen near the beach, young master.”Floyd frowned at Jude. “Beach? What was he doing there?” “The police are already investigating–”“Just now? That’s bullshit! I want to know what happened to him right now!” Jude almost jumped in shock. But he remained in his position. Looking down and feeling sorry for his master. He was also surprised and sad because of what happened to Trace. No one expected it. “Y-Yes, young master.”“Trace?! Trace?!
Floyd drove the car himself. His eyebrows were knitted and his grip on the steering wheel was tightened. Floyd felt his chest hard and he couldn’t think right. His phone was ringing but he was not answering it. ‘I will make him pay,’ that was what was on Floyd's mind. He wants to go to Dwayne and put an end to his evilness. He would do everything he could to make him pay. And he will get his son back. The car stopped when he reached his house, Jacinto’s. He managed to enter the subdivision even if it was exclusive because he told the guards that he was sent by Johson Lim. It was not surprising to him anymore that his father was also known in this place. “Dwayne!” Floyd shouted as he clicked the doorbell. “Get out! Face me!” Floyd clicked the doorbell many times. He couldn’t see what was inside because the gate was hard, enormous metal. Sometimes he kicks the gate, then he will click the doorbell again. After doing it, the small gate opened and a guard came out. “Hey! What are you
