“Here’s everything you know about Aby Chua, young master. Who is she?” Minerva asked as she put a folder down on Floyd’s table.
After talking with Aby, Floyd called Minerva and asked someone to look into the identity of Aby Chua. It was easy because, to his surprise, Aby Chua was a daughter of a well-known clan in Ryeso too. But she ran away from the country with her money when her father tried to marry her off to a man she didn’t want to. And there she meets Dwayne Jacinto.
“Well, this is unexpected,” Floyd said as he was reading the files. “She is Dwayne’s ex-wife.”
Minerva gasped. “What?! Is it true?”
“Yes. Apparently, she’s been plotting revenge on him. And she wanted me to help her.”
“B-But that will only bring chaos for us. Though, Chua’s are partners of your family, young master.”
Floyd arched his e

Floyd was already at their table. The restaurant had a room too and they were not seen from the outside. Minerva was sitting at his side. He took the glass of water that was sent to their table when they arrived. He was about to drink when he noticed that it was already empty. He sighed and put down the glass again.“Do you need another water, young master?” Minerva asked. Floyd looked at her and shook his head. “No. I’m good.” “You looked tense?”“Really?” Floyd laughed. He doesn’t know why he suddenly became uncomfortable. Though, he doesn’t care if Aby was really a syndicate leader. He needed the evidence she gave to him. Yes, he could use it without Aby’s permission because it was already in his hands. But he doesn’t need more enemies. “What time is it already?” Minerva looked at her wristwatch. “6:30, sir. Looks like she was late.” Floyd shook his head. Aby told him to meet her at six but it was already past six. He kept on looking at his phone waiting for Aby to call him. Bu
The Secret Life of Him 59. Agreed
Floyd never thought about his family. Since he learned about his father’s identity. He didn’t think much about if he had other relatives. Though, he had already met Scarlet Green, the mistress of his uncle. He still felt like there was something more about his family. “Would you really accept it, young master?” Minerva asked. They were now inside the car. She had wanted to ask Floyd. Floyd sighed and looked outside the window. “I had to. I need her to bring down Dwayne.” “But there are other ways to bring him down! I’m sure that there’s nothing Miss Chua can do if we still use her evidence!” she protested. She doesn’t like it when her young master agrees to the marriage. Yes, she doesn’t have any chances. But she was hurt and her emotions were all over. ‘If you don't help me, I will ask your brother, instead. And it won’t really help your position in your clan.’ Floyd remembered Aby’s warning. He had a brother. How come his father did not tell him anything about it? “Who’s my br
The Secret Life of Him 60. The first trial
“I, Dwayne Jacinto, the CEO of the Jacinto network, deny all the accusations against me. I never meet him in person or talk with him by any means of communication. Though, per our HR, Sir Trace Moreno was our former employee. But it would be impossible for me to know him. I mean, you know me. I’m a busy man!” Dwayne said. The disappointment and sadness were seen on his face. In front of him was Girlie, a talk show host on the network. “But how can you prove it all? Their evidence was strong. Though, we still don’t know what it was. They even got a trial date for the case.” Dwayne was teary already. “I… You know, I can’t tell here for legal purposes. But I swear!” His voice trembled. “I-I never harmed any person. Anyone. I’ve been in this industry and hurting. More importantly, killing anyone will never come to my mind! It hurts me that they are doing this.” “So, you are an innocent man, Mister Jacinto?” “Of course!” Dwayne cried. “I can’t even kill a bug!” Girlie sighed. “You kno
The Secret Life of Him 61. Realization
The subsequent trial happened. Jane’s team continued to show their evidence. They gave the videos and pictures of Trace with Dwayne. The testimony of Trace and other witnesses. They also presented prostitution happening inside his company. “That is not true! My company is clean!” Dwayne exclaimed. The judge hit his gavel again and the trial proceeded. All were shocked by the revelations they heard in front of the court. The case of Carla Salvador was presented too. Because of what happened, the trial had to stop and continue the next week. Jane’s team was asked to get their witnesses and they also gave their evidence. Dwayne felt frustrated about what happened on the court. He was sure that it would affect his company more. He couldn’t grasp what would happen when he got back to his office. As they were walking in the hallway, Dwayne saw Floyd talking with Jane. “Dwayne?” Roxane called her fiance. Her eyes widened when she saw Dwayne going in Floyd’s direction. “Dwayne!” “You! It

“Where do you think you’re going?” asked Dwayne. He was standing in front of the door and his hands in his pockets. Roxane gulped and tightened her grip on Miguel’s hand. “D-Dwayne. I-I’m just checking– ahh!” Dwayne suddenly slapped Roxane. Miguel screamed in terror.“Mommy!”Roxane grabbed Miguel and hugged him. She tried her best not to cry in front of her son. But her cheek was already painful. She sniffed and hugged Miguel. Then Dwayne suddenly held her hair and pulled her up. “Dwayne!” she cried.Miguel screamed again, seeing his mother was being abused. He went to Dwayne’s legs and punched it. But her tiny hands wouldn’t do much. It just added more irritation to Dwayne that he was pushed by him too. “No! Miguel!” Roxane cried. “O-Okay, please! Please! Don’t hurt my son!” She held Dwayne's arms tightly to her hair. Dwayne grunted and glared at Miguel. He never liked this child in the first place. He just agreed to take Miguel because Roxane wanted to too. “Dwayne, please!”
The Secret Life of Him 63. Mother
“Wow! Is this your new house, Papa?” Miguel asked. His eyes were full of amusement as he looked around. “Yes. Do you like it?” Floyd watched his son as he stared at the chandelier. This was what he wanted to give his son for a long time. It might not turn out as he wanted. Because this came from his father. But he will make sure now to give everything to his son too. “Yes, Papa! It’s big! Much bigger than Daddy’s house!” Floyd was stunned for a second. He needed to have more time with his son. But hearing Miguel’s story about Dwayne earlier. Floyd hoped that Miguel would forget about Dwayne immediately. Floyd sighed and stared at his son. His eyes were full of excitement. The maids took Miguel’s things to his room. Jude then went to his side. “Young master, the little young master’s room is ready. I will take him there.” “No. It’s okay, Jude. I will take him. Please prepare for his lunch.” “Okay, sir.” Jude bowed. Floyd went to Miguel and held his hand. “You want to see your r
The Secret Life of Him 64. The Final Verdict
“What did you say?” Florentino stopped eating and looked at Belinda. Belinda forced a smile on her partner. “Floyd, he came here. He wanted me to live with him because Miguel was with him now.” Florentino hit the table hard. Belinda almost jumped from her seat. She instantly trembled because she knew Florentino did not like what she said. But she remained calm. Floyd was right. It was about time that she stopped thinking about her gratitude to him. “You will go to your criminal, son?! Why? Do you think he can help you? He couldn’t even find a decent job for himself!” Florentino didn’t know about Floyd’s identity. It was the best that he didn’t know. Belinda knew him that much to know what kind of a man he was. “H-He has a job now, Florentino. That’s why he needed me–” “Fine! Go!” Florentino stood up and drank water. Then he spits on the floor. “You are useless to me after all! Go to your criminal son!” Then he went out of the house. Belinda grabbed her chest and released air fr
The Secret Life of Him 65. Deal
“How could this thing happen?!” Floyd roared. They were at Jane’s house and trying to escalate what just happened. No one could believe that Dwayne was not guilty. “We gave everything, Attorney! All our evidence was sure! How could he still manage to get away from it?!” “My husband! Oh, poor Trace! I am sorry!” Jane cried. She never stopped until they went out of the court.“He must have been paid by the court again,” Minerva said. “Then that is a crime,” said one of their attorneys. “If the court was not honest in their verdict, they should pay for it in jail.” “Don’t worry, Mister Lim. We will investigate it. We will make sure to sort this out.” Floyd took a deep breath. “You should. I want that man to pay for what he did to my friend! He murdered Trace!” Floyd couldn’t bear how unfair the world was to them. How could a criminal like Dwayne always get away from his crimes? Money? But why? He had a lot of money, yes. But he couldn’t believe that Dwayne was using it to get away f
