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

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

Same for Minerva because the company needed her while he was gone. But before he went there, he wanted to get Dwayne already.“Are you really going to reveal yourself now, Sir?” Minerva asked. She had been worried about Floyd. She doesn’t have a good feeling about the party.“Yes. I can’t take him to jail. Then I will get what he really cared most about.”Floyd continued reading the documents in front of him. Before he left the country, he needed to prepare everything for his company. Because he didn’t know how long he would stay at Ryeso.Minerva sighed. “Okay, sir. I will help you then.” She remained in her seat. Minerva stared at Floyd as he read the documents.

“Yes. I am Johnson Floyd Lim, Aby Chua-Lim’s husband,” Floyd said in confidence. Then he looked at Aby with a heart full of love. Aby stared into his eyes like she was waiting for him to kiss her. He was hesitant at first, but Floyd gave Aby a quick kiss on her lips. They could hear people nearby gasping in surprise.Roxane felt her knees become soft. She looked away and tightened her grip on Dwayne’s arm. She had to because she was afraid she was going to collapse as a result of the news she had heard. Floyd was married, and of all people, to Aby! She felt that she had exchanged positions with the woman with whom she had taken a man. Floyd was his man. So, technically, she felt that Aby took him from her.“Do you really think that I will believe this madness?” Dwayne asked.Floyd frowned at Dwayne. "Was it me telling you who I am or Aby being my wife that you couldn't believe?" He looked at Aby again, his eyes full of love.Aby giggled. “Don’t be like that, Dwayne. You are holding yo

“Ugh! That bitch! How dare she hold Floyd’s arms?!”Roxane went to the sink and opened the faucet. But she closed it again because she really didn’t have anything to do with it. Roxane sighed and crossed her arms. She looked at her reflection.“You were too bland, Aby. That’s why Dwayne never loved you and left you! You are nothing!” she exclaimed. In her eyes, she was looking at Aby’s smirking face. She remembered how her eyes sparked when Floyd kissed her on the lips. “Fuck you!”The door suddenly opened. Roxane was a bit surprised because of that. But she saw Aby walking inside and looking surprised too.“Oh! I’m sorry. I didn’t know that you were here,” Aby said politely.Roxane rolled her eyes and watched Aby as she went to the sink. She watched her as she did her retouching, which was not even necessary, because her makeup was still okay. She really hated this woman from head to toe.“What are you trying to do, huh?”Aby stopped putting on her lipstick and looked at Roxane’s ref

Dwayne immediately called for an emergency meeting. But Floyd was not informed. Dwayne was full of rage, and he couldn’t accept that Floyd was already ahead of him. All of the board members were present except for Floyd. “What was this meeting about, Mister Jacinto?” asked Froilan.Dwayne sat down on his chair. He looked at Froilan and then continued looking at the rest of his board.“And it looked like we were still not complete.”“We are complete,” Dwayne immediately said. The board members frowned and became confused.“Mister Lim is still not here—”“I said we were complete!” Dwayne exclaimed. He even hit the table hard. “I say when it’s enough, okay?!”Lucas, who was one of the board members too. He also helped get enough shares for Floyd. “But he is still one of us.”“If anyone doesn’t want to be in this room, then you can get out now!”A moment of silence happened insi

“W-What should we do now? You can’t be in jail forever, Dwayne!” Roxane cried.“Who said that I would be in jail forever?! Fuck! Those people! They will see what I can do!”Roxane cried more. Dwayne was in a detention room for now. His hands were cuffed on the table. Roxane was sitting in front of him. She had been crying since Dwayne was taken by the police. But she was not crying because Dwayne was in jail. She was crying because she immediately thought it was Dwayne's end. And she will be nothing if Dwayne can’t get out.“But what should we do?! You need to get out of here and make them pay!”Dwayne glared at Roxane. He knew what she was thinking. But he looked away and took a deep breath. “Where is Ben? Why is no one here?”“Ben is calling your lawyer.”After telling her this, the door was opened, and Ben entered. He was with a man wearing a formal suit and holding a briefcase. He bowed to Dwayne.“Good afternoon, Mister Jacinto. I’m Danilo Montes. I will be your attorney.”Dwayne

Roxane kept on walking into her room. She had been thinking about what would happen to her. Dwayne was locked up. As this happened, she knew that her place would be at stake. Dwayne was the only one who was giving her power.“Urgh! I need to do something!” she grunted.Roxane went to her drawer and checked her things. She hasn’t given up the bank accounts she made. She looked for the account book and was relieved when she saw it. Everything was still there because she hadn’t talked about this to Dwayne. She’ll be fine, but she can’t let go of Dwayne. She knew that he would make a way to get away from it.“He’ll be out.”Roxane kept the account book and decided to take a shower. But she hadn't even entered the bathroom when she heard a knock on her door. It was a successive knock like it was in a hurry. Roxane glared at the door and went there.“What is it?!” she exclaimed.The maid who was knocking looked down. “I-I’m sorry, madam. But there were people below. They’re saying that we

The deliberation over Dwayne’s case continued. Dwayne was in jail for a week. They tried to convince the station to give him a different room. But no one listened to their words. While Roxane was in the house that Dwayne gave her, no one knew about the place except for the two of them and Ben. She brought five maids just to help her, but she couldn’t go back to the company because she learned that Aby was the new CEO.“What?! How in the hell did it happen?!” she exclaimed. Roxane had just learned from her secretary that Aby was the new CEO.“T-They said that we have a new owner, ma'am. Is it true?”Roxane glared at her. How could the Jacinto network have a new owner?!
