11. First day
At noon, Floyd and the other inmates were guided to the quadrangle. They are all seated on the pavement. Floyd was seeing how many they were on the field. There are still some inmates in the cells and they were just looking at them. “Hello!” a loud voice came out from the speakers in front. Floyd looks at the platform above the closed gate. There was a man wearing a white polo shirt that couldn’t conceal his bulging tummy. He was holding a megaphone and looking at them one by one. “All the new inmates stand up!” he ordered. They stand up one by one. “I am Marco Toledo. I am the prison consultant here. And this is Ramon Santiago. Our warden. We are the ones who will help you while you are here.” Floyd looks at them. He thought that these men would be their laws inside. He shook his head. He knows too well as a writer and reporter. “The new inmates are not allowed to go out of their cells for a month. You will stay there and will only be allowed when going to the canteen. And wi

12. Young Master
Floyd couldn’t stop thinking about the woman he met. She hasn’t come back since he woke up. He keeps on thinking about what she said. Why is she calling him young master? He was a nobody. He leaves his mother with his father whom he doesn’t have a good relationship with. He has a brother that he never gets along with. Did my mother become wealthy outside? Floyd sighs and closes his eyes again. He tried to sleep because his body is still giving him pain. He fell asleep and woke up again because his bed was moving. That’s when he noticed that there were people wearing white polo and pants moving towards him. That he thought were nurses. They were already in the hallway. What is this nurse doing here?“W-What is happening? Where are you bringing me?” Floyd asked in confusion. He looked at his side and saw the inmates looking at him from the quadrangle. In the end, he saw the woman earlier with their warden and consultant. They are talking to each other. “W-Wait.” He tried moving but h

13. Birthmark
The car stops in front of a mansion. Floyd was amazed as he went out of the car that stopped right in front of a big door. He was surprised when he saw Minerva and the maids waiting for him at the door. There was a man not far from his age behind Minerva. He is wearing a tuxedo too but looks sharp.“Welcome home, young master,” Minerva greeted Floyd.Floyd was stunned for a second when he saw Minerva. She was wearing a daring red dress now unlike earlier. But she still manages to keep up her classy look. Just like Roxane but better. Floyd shook his head a bit when he remembered his ex-girlfriend. “Where am I?” Floyd asked confusedly. “We are at your house. Your father will be here soon.”“My father?” “Yes.” Minerva smiled again even though she was becoming irritated by Floyd’s constant asking. The man went to Minerva’s side and bowed. “Good day, young master! I am Jude. I will be your butler.” His eyes widened in surprise. “My what?” Floyd asked in shock. He knows what a butler is

14. The Father
“Ha!” Floyd laughs nervously and walks away from Johson. He stopped when he was at the end of the sofa then looked back at Johnson again. “H-How can you be so sure? What if I tattooed it? You can’t just say that I am your son because of the birthmark that everyone could have.” He was still hesitant. He was a prisoner yesterday and now, some wealthy man is claiming to be his father. Everything is too much for Floyd as he thought about it. Johnson sighs. He took his shirt and wore it again in front of Floyd. “I understand you, son. But I assure you that it is our clan only that has this birthmark. We already confirm it for we never encountered another person that is not related to us who has this.” He looks at Floyd straight. “Okay. If you are really that hesitant, we can do a DNA test so I can assure you.”Floyd sat down again and touched his forehead. “Okay. Okay. I guess it’s much better. I’m sorry. I-It’s just too much now for me. I-I’ve been stressed out.” Jonson sat down near F

15. The Truth
“This will be your room, young master,” Jude said respectfully. Floyd can’t stop gasping as he enters a room with a two-door. He saw the king-sized bed at the center of the room. He saw two more doors on the left side of the room. There’s even a lounge area at the end of the bed and on the side of it is another door going to the terrace. “T-This is mine? Seriously?” Floyd asked as he walked inside the room. “Yes, young master.” Floyd cannot believe what he was seeing. This room is triple the size of their apartment. It could be their house, just this room. “T-This is too much,” Floyd said in hesitation and looked at Jude. “Can I go home first?” “Ahm where? You are already home.” Floyd shook his head. “Not here. I need to talk with my mother.” Floyd walks out of the room again. How can he even accept that room? His identity is still not certain. He shouldn’t accept anything from his supposed biological father. And one more person can confirm it aside from him. His mother,

16. New Father
After Floyd talked with his mother, he went out and kept walking on the side streets. It’s still early but the sun is not hot anymore. The car that sent Floyd to his mother’s house is slowly following him not too far from his back. Jude can’t leave his young master. “What should I do now?” Floyd asked himself. He is lost again. He thought when he learned the truth from his mother he would be okay. But he is wrong. His mother has resentment towards his father. But his father has been true to her mother since then. Though he can’t do anything because he is young. ‘I should do something for them at least.’“Young master!” Jude called for Floyd. He got out of the car and followed him. “We should go back to the mansion now before it becomes dark.” Floyd stops walking and looks at Jude. “Jude. Can I call you Jude?” “Yes, young mast– sir.” “What would you do if you were in my position?” “What do you mean by that, sir?” “A few days ago, I was a nobody. My girlfriend left me for a man wh

17. JL Network
Floyd went back to the mansion. He decided to accept his father’s offer. He might not know anything about managing a company but he will try. The next day, Jude accompanied him to a hospital where they will do the DNA test. Floyd was still nervous and hesitant, but Johnson affirmed that he was indeed his son. “Don’t worry, my son. This DNA test is not necessary. You will be my heir if you accept my offer. I will need to step down soon, Floyd. I will need you,” Johnson said to Floyd. They were in the car already. “Are you really sure about this? What if I fail?” “You have my blood, Floyd. You will not. I will ask Minerva to check your papers so I can register you to our family.” “But I’ve talked with my mother. She is mad at you. She will not like it if I accept you as my father.” Johnson stopped and looked outside. He remembers Belinda when they were younger. He couldn’t stop thinking now how was she? How does she look now? And of course, he understood why Belinda was furious

18. The Party
“You did a great job, Minerva! You exceeded my expectations!” Floyd said while they were at his office on the JL network. His office is on the top floor of the building and no one was allowed to enter it except for Minerva, Floyd, and Jude. Minerva raised her wine glass which was full of red wine. “Thank you, young master. It’s because you trusted me. I owe it all to you.” “Truly, young master. You are a great master to us,” Jude seconds. Floyd smiled. “No. Don’t thank me. It is me that should be thanking both of you. This will not be possible if it’s not because of you.” He rested his back on the chair. “Now… What should we do next?” Minerva and Jude look at each other. Minerva got an idea. “We haven’t had an opening party. Should we have one?” “That’s a wonderful idea.” Floyd smirks. “We should do that,” he agreed while thinking about Roxane and Dwayne. He was thinking of inviting them. “You ask someone to start the preparations. I want all the tv personalities on every station

19. Confrontation
“R-Roxane?” Floyd was taken aback when he saw Roxane glaring at him. He looked around. They were at the receiving area only. There are some reporters at the entrance not far away from them. The hotel staff who were checking the guest was just on his left. They are looking at them. “Why are you here, huh?! Are you planning on ruining me again?!” Roxane said while glaring at Floyd. She even pointed her finger at him. Floyd gulped and took a deep breath. He tried to control his emotion even though he was surprised that Roxane saw him. He tried to hide as much as possible! “Roxane. I am an employee on the JL network that’s why I’m here. There’s nothing wrong with that.” Roxane sniggered. “Huh?! Employee? Who would hire a criminal like you?!” Floyd heard a gasping sound on his side. He knew that it was the staff. He tried to stay calm even though he already felt hot. “Watch what you are saying, Roxane. I am not a criminal! You sent me there so that–” Floyd stopped what he was about t

20. Friends
Dwayne and Roxane couldn’t believe what just happened at the party. They couldn’t accept that Minerva Wang favored Floyd, a criminal, and a nobody. But Dwayne promised he would not let this man and that the JL network stay still. They were at the top now and he would never accept that they'd be under again. On the other hand, Floyd was still over the moon as he kept on thinking about Minerva’s move. He never saw any woman like her. He learned that she knew some martial arts for self-defense, and she had boxing when she had free time. Floyd then asked Jude to enroll him in a martial arts class. But to his surprise, Jude knew it too and was a black belter. So, he asked him to be his master. On the JL network, Floyd worked there as an executive producer. Minerva told him that it was much better than being a segment writer. At least in that position, Roxane wouldn’t dare to humiliate him. He had his small office on the sixteenth floor. But no other employee knew about his true identity
