The Secret Life of Him 74. With Her
Floyd allowed Roxane to stay for a week at the mansion. He thinks that it was enough for Miguel to understand their situation. He gave Roxane a room and took her things. Floyd even brought a plane ticket for her. “You really wanted me to leave, huh?” Roxane said while looking at the ticket. “You don't need to be here, Roxane. Plus, you don't want Dwayne to see you again, right?”Roxane's turned sour. “Fine. Don't worry. I will explain everything to Miguel.”“You should. Because I really want you out of our lives, Roxane. Remember that you are here only because of him.”Roxane felt a sting in her chest. “Did I really hurt you that much? That's why you're like this now?” “This is not about me, Roxane. It’s about our son and what’s good for him.” “Fine! I’m sorry! I’m a fool that I left you! But can you blame me, Floyd? You had nothing back then! We are so poor that you can’t even provide for us!” Floyd frowned at Roxane. “I can provide, Roxane. It was just not enough for you. I am

Floyd woke up with his head aching. He grunted in pain as he touched his head. He remembered that he was at Minerva’s place. But when he slightly opened his eyes, he was already in his room. Floyd frowned and closed his eyes again. ‘How did I go home?’“You’re awake! Finally.” Floyd opened his eyes again when he heard a voice. He looked around and saw Roxane standing on the side of his bed. Her arms were crossed and her eyebrows were knitted. She was looking at him like he had done something wrong. “Roxane? What are you doing in my room?” he asked in his hoarse voice. He coughed a little when he felt his throat was dry. Roxane rolled her eyes. “Do you even know how you got home last night? My gosh, Floyd! And why are you with that girl? Really? What were you thinking?!” Floyd did not answer Roxane. He massaged his forehead. “Jude!” he called in a faint voice. He coughs again. “He’s not there, Floyd.” “Where is he?” “I don’t know. Some men came and Jude rushed out. I came here
The Secret Life of Him 76. Confused
Floyd laughed. He thought that Aby was playing with him. But she stood up firm in front of him without even blinking. Floyd controlled himself and stared at Aby. “You are serious? You are proposing to me?” Aby clenched her fists. “Whatever you call it. Yes. Let’s get married. It was part of the deal after all.” “Aby. I don’t know where this is coming from. But this is a ridiculous idea, okay? Thank you for your help. Now let me talk with Alfred.” “No! Listen to me, Floyd. I’ll call you Floyd, okay?” Aby stepped forward. “I need you to marry me. As soon as possible. We don’t have to make it grand. We can do it today if you want to.” Floyd rested his butt on his table and crossed his arms. Aby was always unexpected. He agreed to the deal because he thought she wouldn’t do it. “But why?” “Why?” She stepped forward again and stopped when she could feel Floyd’s breath. “We already kissed. I think we are mutual. We’ll do great as husband and wife.” Floyd stared into Aby’s eyes. He r

“Nothing good here anymore!” Roxane grunted. She threw her dress on the bed and sat down. Roxane was planning on preparing a dinner date with Floyd. She didn’t care if she looked desperate, but she would do it. She needed to have a place in this house. Floyd was a different man now. He was richer than Dwayne now. And she would get him back. Roxane heard a knock on her door and it opened. It was Belinda. “Mother.” Roxane stood up. “Do you need something?” Belinda frowned and looked at her bed. “Are you moving out already?” “Huh? No! I’m just checking my things.” “Okay. Anyway, I just came because I heard you gave orders to the maids. What are you planning to do?” Belinda’s expression became serious. “Are you trying to get my son again?” Roxane’s eyes widened. “W-What do you mean, Mother?” Belinda smirked. “I know what you are trying to do, Roxane.” “I don’t understand you, Mother. I just want dinner.” “Yes, and with Floyd.” Roxane looked away. “What is wrong with that?” Beli

“We told Mister Jacinto about our proposal, sir. And like what we expected, he did not like it,” Minerva reported to Floyd. “Dwayne was a proud man. He won’t give up easily.” “Yes,” Minerva sighed. “I saw Alfred at the building when we arrived, sir. You should be really careful. I believe he didn’t know your true identity. But he wanted to meet you soon.” “I should find a way to get that gang away from him.” Floyd looked at Minerva. “Thank you, Miss Wang. You can go home now.” “I still have papers to do, sir.” Minerva bowed at Floyd. “I’ll go now.” Floyd stood up and held Minerva’s arm when she was about to turn away from him. “Wait!” Minerva stopped and looked at him. He let go of Minerva and smiled. “Miss Wang. I don’t know why I felt there was a wall between us now. Is this about last night? Did I do something to you?” Minerva frowned. Her mouth opened and she was confused. She tried remembering what happened last night. “N-Nothing, sir. Why? Is there a problem? Did I say som

“Are you really sending her out, Floyd?” Belinda asked Floyd. They were near the door watching the maids putting Roxane’s things in the car. “This is the right thing to do, Mother. She’ll never change.” Floyd looked at Roxane. Jude was holding her because she kept on running inside.“Floyd, please! You didn’t mean that, right? Please!” Roxane begged. She finally made herself free from Jude. She ran to Floyd and kneeled at him again. “Please! Floyd! Please! I’m sorry. I won’t betray you again. I will not leave you! I’ll focus on our son!” She hugged his waist. Floyd sighed and touched her arms. “Stand up, Roxane. Don’t do this.” “No! I don’t want to leave! I can’t leave!” “Roxane–” A car suddenly stopped in front of the mansion. They all looked at it and waited for someone to get out. It was Aby. She was smiling brightly, but suddenly stopped when she saw Roxane’s position.“Ohh… What is going on here?” Aby asked. She couldn’t believe the scene she was seeing. Aby approached Floyd

“What?! How did you lose her?!” Floyd asked. Jude had just come back from the airport and reported that Roxane had gone away. “I’m sorry, young master,” Jude answered. He was looking down only at him. And embarrassed because he didn’t do his work right. “I already alerted the police. Anyone who sees Roxane will take her and tell us about it.” Aby smirked. She was still at the mansion. “We all know where she is heading now, right?” She looked at Floyd, who was standing near his table. “She’s with Dwayne now for sure. And because of what you did to her, I wouldn’t be surprised if she told him about you.” Floyd sighed and massaged his nape. He started walking back and forth as he thought about the possible outcome. Roxane will really do it. She was the type of woman that wouldn’t hesitate to do such things just to save herself. “But don’t worry. Even Dwayne learns about your identity. His company is yours already.” Floyd stopped and looked at Aby. “What do you mean?” “Well, I forgo
The Secret Life of Him 81. Wedding day
Roxane didn’t answer Dwayne. He was calm but she could see from his eyes that he didn’t like what she did. Why would he? She left him. Roxane tightened her grip on her clothes and forced a smile at Dwayne. “M-My love,” she said. Dwayne smirked and looked away. He stood up and started approaching her. “Did you enjoy it, huh?” Roxane flinched when Dwayne caressed his face with one finger. “Y-Yeah–” She gasped when Dwayne suddenly held his chin and his cheeks slightly. Roxane touched his arms and groaned. “D-Dwayne.” “You left? Why did you come back? Did you realize that you cannot live without my money, huh? Do you?” Dwayne’s face slowly turned red. His eyes were glaring at her. “D-Dwayne! You’re hurting me!” Roxane exclaimed. Dwayne smirked. “Am I? Am I?!” Roxane screamed when Dwayne suddenly let go of her and slapped her. She fell on the floor and cried. “P-Please! Let me explain, Dwayne!”&nb

“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

“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
