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

“Why did you bring me here?” Floyd asked. They were inside a studio-type penthouse. Aby brought him here after they met at the bar. “Sit down, Mister Lim,” Aby said in a demanding voice. She put her handbag on the couch and sat there. Then she looked at Floyd and tapped the couch. Telling him to sit down too. Floyd sighed and cleared his throat. It might be because of alcohol. That was why he was feeling the tension in the atmosphere. Also, Aby had been staring at him like she had something to tell. Floyd sat down on the chair in front of Aby instead of beside her. Aby laughed. “I see that you are tense, Mister Lim. Don't worry. I don't bite.” She winked. “Why did you bring me here?”“Two things, Mister Lim.” Aby stood up and went to her minibar. She took a bottle of wine and two wine glasses. Then she went back to the living room. “For us to talk again about our deal.” She put everything on the table and sat down at Floyd's side. “And for us to enjoy ourselves.”Floyd gulped when

Roxane was finally free but Dwayne hired her own bodyguard. Now, she can’t go out alone. He was everywhere even when she was going to the toilet. “Vivian!” she called to her secretary. She looked at her bodyguard that was standing near her door. Vivian rushed inside her office. “Yes, madam?”Roxane sighed and stood up. “Can you help me change my dress?” Vivian frowned. Though she was confused because Roxane was already dressed well, she nodded. “O-Okay, madam.”Roxane turned around and tried reaching the zipper. But she stopped and looked at her bodyguard. She saw that he was looking at her too. Her eyebrows arched. “Are you really going to watch me undress?”Her bodyguard cleared his throat. “I'll wait outside, madam.”Roxane smiled. “Thank you.” Vivian started to undo her zipper as Roxane's bodyguard went out of the room. When she heard the door close, Roxane turned around and faced Vivian. Vivian was surprised but she did not say any words. “Your phone? Where is it?”“I-It's
The Secret Life of Him 68. The Consultant
The bidding day happened. Dwayne's company set-up a secret meeting inside their company. Since they only have three investors who will bid for the stocks. First one, Mister Suarez. He was also a businessman. He liked to invest in companies. That was how he got rich. Because he doesn’t only invest in ordinary companies.The second one was Madam Ching. The president's wife. She was a businesswoman too. And knowing that she was interested in the Jacinto network. They already knew what she was after. Then there was Johnson Floyd Lim, the son of the wealthiest man in the world. Dwayne was interested in him because he already had the JL network. Why would Lim want his company? Do they want to finally claim the Crotia? Build their empire here too? Dwayne will never know until he meets him. Yes, he was hoping to finally meet him. Johnson Floyd Lim never showed himself to anyone. “Is everything ready?” Dwayne asked Ben. They were already walking down the hallway to the meeting room. “Yes, s

Roxane kept on walking back and forth inside her office. She was waiting for the time to pass as she would finally meet Floyd to save her. But she felt like her heart would burst out because of the nervousness she was feeling. Dwayne was also expecting her to go to the meeting room. She won't go there anymore because it was the only time that she could get away from Dwayne. She smiled when she saw from her wristwatch that it was the bidding time already. Roxane went to her door and opened it. She saw her bodyguard standing just in front of her door. “Hey. You can have a break for now. I'll just go to Dwayne's meeting.”“I will send you there, madam.”“No! It's okay. You can come back here later.” The guard sighed and nodded. He had also meant to ask Roxane if he could get out. His wife had just called him and his daughter was in the hospital. So he agreed even though he knew that his boss wouldn't like it. The company was sealed and Roxane wouldn’t get away if she did. He’ll just b

The bidding continued. Ben explained what the investor would get if they successfully bid for the shares. The investor will have the same rights as the board members. He or she also had the right to tell his opinion to the board. He would have the right to decide too, as he was the second-largest shareholder in the company. That was why Dwayne had to choose the right investor for his company. Someone who will not dare to take everything from him. Someone not like Johnson Floyd Lim. “Three-fifty here,” Madam Ching said. Dwayne looked at her and nodded. They started their bidding at three hundred million dollars. And it was Madam Ching who immediately announced their bid. “Three hundred and fifty million dollars for Madam Ching. Anyone who wants to–” “Four hundred,” Mister Suarez cut Ben. “Four hundred million dollars for Mister Suarez.” Dwayne looked at Minerva. “How about you, Miss Wang? Aren’t you bidding for your boss?” Minerva smiled and looked at Dwayne. “Of course, I am.” S

“It's nice doing business with you, Mister Jacinto. Mister Lim would be delighted for sure.” Minerva shook hands with Dwayne. “I hope we forget our past differences now because we are already partners?”Dwayne chuckled. “Sure. I don't want any hard feelings with my business partners.” “Is it the same with me?” Aby asked. Dwayne looked at Aby. “Of course,” he said bitterly. If it was not for Mister Lim, he wouldn't want to talk with her ex-wife. He knew what she was after. “Good.”“I must say, we should go now, Mister Jacinto. We still need to report this to Mister Lim.”“Sure. But I hope the next time we have a meeting. Mister Lim himself will show up. I am looking forward to meeting my new investor.”“Sure,” Minerva smiled. After the meeting with Dwayne, Minvera and Aby went out of the building. They had smiles on their faces as they were walking out. “I knew we could get those shares,” Aby said proudly. “You should behave yourself sometimes, Miss Chua. Or you will be a headach
The Secret Life of Him 72. Don't leave
Roxane woke up to find that she was already in a room. The bed was soft and she felt like she was lying in the clouds. She still couldn’t believe what she had just learned. Floyd, the man she left because he had nothing. The man that she swore she would never get back with. Was it the reason that Floyd successfully left the prison? She grunted and sat down. She felt like she was betrayed suddenly. The door opened and Belinda entered the room. “Roxane. You are awake. How are you?” Roxane scoffed and laid back again. “I don’t know if I am okay, mother. Why didn't you tell us about it?” Belinda put the tea on the side table. Then she sat down on the bed. “Why? Are you really that surprised that Floyd was not the man you really know? That he was not the man you left like trash?” Roxane’s eyebrows knitted. She sat down again and looked hard at Belinda. “I know what I did! But you lied to us!” “To us? You are not my son’s partner anymore. Why would you think I lied to you?” “I’m still
