The Secret Life of Him 94. Jailed
“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
The Secret Life of Him 95. Out
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 Secret Life of Him 96. Fired
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?! Roxane decided to go to Dwayne’s office. But to her surprise, she saw Aby sitting on the chair where Dwayne

“Are you okay?” Aby asked Floyd. Roxane just got out of the company. Floyd fired her, no matter how long she begged to stay. She put the cup of coffee on the table.Floyd sighed. He massaged his head and then rested his back on the chair. “Yes. Of course.”Aby sat down at his side. “Then why do you suddenly look gloomy? Didn’t you want to fire Roxane?” she asked. “Or do you feel bad about her?” she asked when Floyd didn’t answer her. She rolled her eyes and stood up again. She doesn't know why she suddenly felt something. and she did not like it.Floyd then noticed a change of emotion in Aby. He looked at her as she sat down on her chair. Aby was frowning and doing her job. But Floyd did not mind it and stood up.
The Secret Life of Him 98. Justice is served?
“I want to thank everyone who helped us. I know Trace is happy now.” Jane looked at Trace’s tombstone. Her voice was cracking because of the pain she was feeling. After Dwayne was found guilty, Jane decided to give Trace a mass. Jane looked at Floyd. “Thank you, Floyd. You’ve been a great friend.”Floyd nodded at Jane. He looked at his friend’s tombstone with a smile. They finally got justice. Now Floyd could finally be relieved. He hasn't heard anything from Roxane since Dwayne was found guilty. And he didn’t care about finding out where she was now because Miguel was already in his care. She might have hurt him that much, but Floyd couldn’t do anything to her but cast her away.They had a small gathering at Jane’s house, and then Floyd went to the JL company to talk with his employees. He hasn’
The Secret Life of Him 99. Raquel
‘Months ago.’ Raquel became more depressed after Floyd rejected her. After years of waiting for him, he still didn’t choose her. She couldn’t focus on her job, so she was fired too. Raquel became more alcoholic. She was always at the bars, making herself forget the pain. She cut all her connections with her friends and even her family, so no one knew what was happening to her. One night, she was drenching herself with alcohol again. She was dancing in one of the clubs and making herself forget when a man sat beside her. “Looks like you're alone. Can I buy you a drink?” Raquel frowned and looked at her side. It was Alfred, Dwayne’s man. They both didn’t know each other. Raquel stared at his face and smiled. Alfred was bald, but it didn’t lessen his manly features. The tattoos on his body accentuated his bad-boy features. Raquel could see the tattoos on his neck and arms. “Sure,” she answered without minding his intentions. He was not the first one to approach her since she started

‘Present Time’ “Alfred, wait!” Raquel stopped Alfred from walking. “What are you going to do to him?” Alfred stared at Raquel. He had been controlling himself because he didn’t want to hurt his girlfriend’s feelings. But seeing how worried Raquel was about Floyd, it was making him crazy. “When are you going to tell me about your connection to him, huh? Are you the one who took those pictures of his friend?” Raquel was stunned. Her mouth slowly closed and she looked away. Alfred didn’t know about it, or even Floyd. But she was the one who took the pictures of Trace. She was there when they killed him. Aby secretly talked with her. At first, she didn’t trust her. But Aby said that she knew Floyd and wanted to help him. So, Raquel decided to help. She tried helping him to get away, but Alfred always caught her. She told him that she just felt pity for Trace. So, Alfred still didn’t know her connections with them. She had been trying to get away from him, but Alfred had become possess

123: Connection
“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

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
