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

The Secret Life of Him 82. Celebration
Floyd and Aby were married. It was just a simple and fast wedding. Floyd didn’t invite his mother.“Should I live in your house now?” Aby asked. They were in Floyd's car. She kept on looking at her gold ring. “Why would you do that?”“I’m your wife!”Floyd sighed and looked at Aby. She looked so happy seeing that they were married already. Like they were really a couple. “Let me remind you. Our wedding was purely for business only. I have already prepared a contract and you will sign it when we get home.”Aby pouted. “Whatever. My parents will be here at the weekend. They decided to be here earlier.” Floyd nodded. “They will visit your house. Our house.” “What? Was this part of our act?” “Yes. Don’t worry. I will talk with your mother–” “No. I will. You don’t have to.”“Okay.”Floyd shook his head. Later on, they reached the mansion. They were greeted by Belinda at the door. “Welcome, my children!

The Secret Life of Him 83. Invitation
Days had passed, and Floyd hadn't heard anything about Roxane since she escaped. They looked for her just so his identity couldn’t be compromised. But even on the Jacinto network she wasn’t there. “Don’t you think he already knows?” Floyd asked. “I’m not sure. When I met him yesterday, Mister Jacinto hadn't said anything about him. He was not mentioning you,” Minerva answered. Floyd sighed. “Okay.” “But he asked me to give this to you.” Minerva took out an envelope and gave it to Floyd. Floyd opened it and saw that it was an invitation card. He smirked. “So, Roxane was with her after all.” “What is it?” “It’s an engagement party invitation. They will announce their wedding day, I guess.”Minerva looked at the card. “But it said an invitation to Johnson Floyd Cruz?” “They are testing us. It’s okay.”“Are you going, sir?”“I’ll think about it.” “Okay, sir. I should go now.” Minerva stood up and gathered her things. She was about to walk out when Floyd called her again. “Miss

“Miss Chua? Where are you?” Floyd asked over the phone. He had just arrived at the airport. He was looking for Aby outside. “I’m at the entrance. Come here.” Floyd turned off the phone and went to Aby. It didn’t take him long before he saw her. She was walking back and forth while looking down. “Miss Chua!” he called. Aby stopped and looked at him. She smiled. “You came.” “Is there something wrong? You looked stressed?” Aby took a deep breath. “I… I’ll just see them again now after five years. And I know that they’ll not be happy to see me. So, please. If they tell you… uncomfortable words. Hang on there? I-I’ll make way how you can go away. Okay?” Floyd frowned. When he met Aby, it was his first time seeing her scared. She was a strong and independent woman. Mostly impulsive but impressive. Floyd sighed and nodded. “No. We can do it.” “My mother… She’s… Ugh! Whatever. Just hold on. This will be fast.”Floyd touched Aby’s shoulder and gently stroked it to calm her. “It’s okay

Floyd decided to bring Aby’s parents to his mansion. He thought that it would be much better considering the way her mother acted. He used to see Aby as a serious and strong woman. She liked to do everything she wanted. But he never saw her scared about anything. “I’m sorry for what happened,” Aby said. They were already riding in the car. Aby kept on caressing her left cheek, which was still hot because of the slap from her mother. “For what?” Floyd looked at Aby. He sighed, seeing her in distress. “My mother... she’s really like that.” “You don’t have to say sorry to me. It’s not your fault.” Aby smiled bitterly and looked at Floyd for a second. She was embarrassed and, at the same time, relieved because of him. “Don’t worry. They’ll stay until they confirm what they need to confirm. You won’t see them for long.” She looked outside again. She was hoping that they would really leave her alone soon. Floyd just sighed and didn’t answer her. He didn’t know them, that was why he did

“You shouldn’t have acted like that, Maricris,” Brandon said. He had just finished taking a shower. Maricris was sitting on the bed, staring out of nowhere.“What should I’ve done, huh? He was the son of the richest man in the world. The most powerful clan in Ryeso. And he gave us this?” Maricris looked around. “Our things were not even fixed!”Brandon sighed. “But it was true. You didn’t even tell your daughter that we were going today.”Maricris stood up. She looked at her husband, who was changing his clothes. “You are still siding with your daughter! That’s why she’s weak like you! That’s why she left us!”“Dear, I don’t want to fight with you about today.” He went to Maricris and touched her arms. She might be a strict and serious woman. But he had seen how soft Maricris was. That was why he never thought of leaving her, even though sometimes she was too much for him. “Your daughter was a strong woman like you. You just need to trust her. Take a breath.”Maricris rolled her eyes.
The Secret Life of Him 88. She agreed
Aby went after her mother. She had to talk with her now, or she wouldn’t the next time. Her mother must go, or she will be doomed to embarrassment because of her. Aby stopped when she reached the door. Her mother would not go anywhere else but this room. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door. Then she opened it and went inside. Aby saw Maricris on the terrace, smoking. She cleared her throat and went inside.“Mom,” she called Maricris. “Why did you do that?”Maricris inhaled the smoke and turned to her daughter. “You. Why did you do that, huh? You ran away from us because you didn’t want to marry Johan Lim, but you married his brother, who was already a father to a child?!”“There is nothing wrong with that! And as if you really cared about the man I am

But Miguel managed to be okay after a while.Floyd and Aby were in his room. Aby wanted to talk with Floyd and they had to stay in the same room because of her parents. Aby was on the couch and Floyd was near the window.“You can sleep in bed. I can sleep in my office,” Floyd started the conversation.“No. It’s okay.” She sighed. “I know that you’ve already talked with my mother, Floyd. But I’m still going to say sorry to you.”Floyd looked at Aby. He sat down on the chair in front of her. “It’s okay. But I must admit, I was surprised that she was like that.”“I know. Anyway, is it true? Your father wanted you to go to Ryeso next month?”“Yeah… How did you know that?”“My mom told me. I should go with you.”Floyd did not answer her. His father wanted him to go to Ryeso already. But he hasn’t thought ab
