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’

‘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

A man squats in front of Floyd. He stared at him like he was scanning his face. Then he winced and shook his head.“You look like a mess. Are you sure you’re my brother?”“W-Who are you?”The man sighed. He stood up. “We don’t have time for this.” He suddenly pointed a gun at Raquel. Floyd’s eyes widened, and he forced himself to cover Raquel. Raquel screamed and hugged Floyd.“What are you doing?!”“She knows him, right? I need to kill her too.”“No! Fuck! She is my friend!”The man frowned. “Oh, okay. I’m sorry, Miss.” He looke

Floyd called his mother to tell her that he was okay. He asked her to order someone to check up on Raquel. And he was relieved when he learned that Raquel was with her. She was indeed okay. He also learned that Aby and Jude were already at Ryeso waiting for him. He couldn’t imagine how worried they were about him. Floyd decided to rest more rather than join Johan for his party. He woke up again that Johan was already in his room and telling him to get up.“Here. Wear this.” Johan put a long white sleeve polo and trousers on his bed. “It’s in your size.”“Are we here?”“Yes. You can come out anytime if you’re ready.”Johan left the room. Floyd looked at the clothes that were on his bed. He doesn’t know why he suddenly felt nervous because he was finally here at Ryeso. And based on what Johan told him, his life will not be easy here. He still can’t believe that it was not Dwayne who did it.Floyd decided to go to the bathroom and clean himself. His face was not swallowing already. Unlik
The Secret Life of Him 113. The Family
All members of the Lim clan family were gathered at the main mansion. Johnson couldn’t hide his excitement because his son was finally going home. Jude was helping in preparing Floyd’s room, while Aby was getting ready. She was still worried about Floyd’s safety. Johnson was not telling anyone about Floyd. He was just excited that his son was going back. But how? Floyd was kidnapped. She didn’t even know if he was still alive.“I hope that you’re really okay, Floyd.” She sighed. Then her phone suddenly rang. “Hello?”“Abigail, why did you tell me that you are already here?”“Mom?” Aby stood up. “Ahm. Sorry. There was an emergency. Who told you?”“I am invited to the dinner party.”“Really? I didn’t know there was an invitation.”“Lim’s residence called.”Aby took a deep breath. Johnson was really unexpected. “Okay. Are you and dad coming?”“Of course. Meet us there. We are preparing already.”“Okay.”The call ended. Aby was confused. She felt that her chest would explode anytime the l
The Secret Life of Him 114. Them
Floyd entering the Lim clan’s residence turned out differently from what he expected. His relatives, especially his cousins, don’t stop talking with him. He was both nervous and happy talking with them. Some of them were kind, especially his aunt Amethyst and her children. They were in the living room. Johnson was sitting in the front seat and staring at his family with a smile on his lips. Next to him was Floyd, sitting beside Aby. The two of them haven’t talked with each other because Floyd was taken by his cousin immediately to the living room. Aby couldn’t wait to ask him what happened to him. She was worried seeing the healed bruises on his face.On the other seat were Arnel, Carlo, and Carla facing Floyd and Aby. Amethyst was next with Aby. In front of her was Benedict. All of their cousins were then scattered around the room. Floyd couldn’t help but feel little being surrounded by them. One look at them, anyone could notice immediately what kind of family they were.“We are gla

“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

“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

“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

“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

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
