Tobin purposely played dumb but when he and his wife reached home, he explained the context of the bid at his firm, and promised to teach her how to place it and win. He would use his connection as the CEO to win the offer for her so she can become the family CEO.

He told his wife to trust him and do as he has said, because he has inner information as he worked at that firm now.

Hailey was certainly not sure but she trusted her husband and did just as he'd asked her to after lots of persuasion. She placed the bid for her family without noticing the others.

It was Tobin's first day at work. He was well dressed and made sure he smelled nice. He had gone for a quick shopping the night before, getting his wife some new fancy attires too. He lied the company had provided a free bonus fee that allowed them to make quick shopping for a few expensive and quality outfits.

He was at work now and people still stared at him with a surprising look, probably wondering who he was. His secretary, Holly Reinfred, a young slender lady with hair wrapped into a neat ponytail walked forward to meet him just as he stepped inside.

She gave a slight bow. "Mr. Tobin, we've been waiting for you--"

Tobin saw that faces were turning to face him. He didn't want to create awareness just yet so he told her to pretend and not create awareness. She comported herself.

"I'll be the head of sales, I heard that position is blank for now. I don't what to announce I'm the CEO for a personal reason. I'm sure Federico must have explained that to you." He said to her and she nodded.

"I'm sorry, sir. My bad. Please come this way, I still need to introduce you to the staff members." She said to him.

He was introduced to the receptionist, dark skinned pretty lady, then the sales members consisting of a number of four, two ladies and two men. He was introduced to a few of the board members who were present at the moment, as well as other people.

It was then that he told his secretary, Holly to announce to the staff that they should take only his wife's bidding.

Meanwhile at home, Hailey and received a call from her mother.

"How dare you, moron! You were here yesterday and you never mentioned that you would be placing a bid with the family name!" Her mother yelled out via the phone.

Hailey frowned. How did they know..."listen mother, you don't need to be angry. You did say that you wanted one of us to win the offer for the family. If I win, I don't have to marry any old man. Why are you so angry?"

"Shut up your mouth! Tell your husband that we will be coming over now--"

"--he's at work, mother. He's busy. He has a job now, remember?" Hailey said. She could almost feel the anger that was on her mother's face.

"Well whenever he comes back, he'll have a lot of explaining to do then." She said and hung up.

Hailey quickly called her husband to explain what had happened. Evening came and her family had been invited over.

"How dare you do this, sister? It's an embarrassment and you can actually put our family in shame forever if you loose! We would become the laughing stock of the town!" Rosa said.

Her mother was telling something again but Tobin got up and shut them all up. They all looked shocked at him for being confident like that. How dare he?

"It was all my idea." He said calmly.

"How dare this filthy rag, huh?" Cami said and hissed. She looked at her son, Justin who had not even uttered a word since morning.

"Can you believe this, son?" she said again but got no reply from him. She ignored him with a heavy roll of her eyes. She always called him a bastard for his behavior sometimes.

Rosa on the other hand was just like her mother. "It is so rude of you, in case you don't know. Our family is very well known in town, and you risk putting out name out just like that? What support do you have? You just resumed today!"

"That's right. It's not even like you're the owner of the company or anything!" Cami said.

Tobin smiled at what she just said, but he quickly composed himself again. "If you will listen to me, Mrs. Blanco, Miss Rosa."

Cami's mouth flung wide open. He usually called her mother, and now he was calling her directly by her surname? Even Rosa was surprised. Tobin's wife only kept quiet, staring in shock too as her husband was always gentle.

He stood so tall that it was as if he was a president giving speech to the country. "I dare you to take a bet, if you're confident enough."

"Bet? What foolish bet is that?" Cami said.

"Good, listen clearly now." Tobin said. Surely enough, they were all too stunned to even distract him. "This bid, if Hailey wins it for the family, just as you've said, you will make her the family CEO. And you will never ever mention us divorcing again, or her aborting our baby."

"And if you loose? What do we get!" Rosa asked.

"If she loose the bid, then I will leave Hailey for good."

There was a loud gasp. Everyone including his wife was shocked he would say something like that, but she kept quiet because she trusted her husband.

"Ha! How can you live with such a weak man, sister? He's ready to ditch you now. He just doesn't wants to say it now. But I'm sure he's cheating on you already, ha! How can you win the bid when you don't have any power?" Rosa teased.

Hailey's face was hard as she would not give her family the pleasure of seeing her scared. Justin said nothing but he was surely enjoying the show.

"Think you all, do we have a deal or not? I promise to leave Hailey for good if she looses the bid." Tobin said again.

This time, Cami and her daughter bursted out into laughter. Both Tobin and his wife said nothing. After a while, Cami was the one to talk.

"Whatever then. Let's get this over with. We don't loose anyway. Once she looses the bid, Hailey will abort that baby and come back to marry the rich man I approve of." she said.

Deep down, Hailey couldn't help but be afraid of such a heavy bid. What if she doesn't win?

What if it was true that her husband was cheating on her and wanted a way to divorce her??

"Good then. We will meet here again next week after the news release."

  • Conspiracy

    What nobody knew was that Tobin had already made a little research on these men, and Giovanni was the main target. Whatever he said, his men will follow.The room was empty now with only Tobin and the old man."How did you know that name? Who else have you told, huh!" Giovanni demanded.Tobin remained in his relaxed position. "Does it matter? What you have done all these years ago, I can bring it back to light." He said.Giovanni was impatient. Being in the navy for long, he struck an attack by jumping forward to stab Tobin. But he was faster. Tobin easily managed to lean, evading the knife, and he regained balance and struck the knife away from Giovanni."Are you mad, old man! You attack me? Why would you do something so stupid! There's camera everywhere." Tobin yelled out.Giovanni crept to his knees. "I--I'm sorry. I'm Sorry! I...please don't tell anyone about me!" he cried out.This made Tobin even more shocked. "Well listen to me, and listen good. If you try any funny attacks,

  • Rumor.

    When they were already out in their car, Hailey stopped him from driving with an angry face."What was that all about? Why did you cut them off our business!"Tobin knew his wife didn't know what the Blancos have done to him. How they ruined his life. He could have been great in life since he was little. Who knows, maybe his parent would still be alive!"Hailey, I didn't do anything. They willingly accepted the terms, knowing that their plan to split us up would work." He said to her."What we should be focused on right now is to win this bet, so you won't have to abort our baby.""And how do you propose we do that, huh? We should have thought--no. You should have thought hard before making that stupid dare!" Hailey roared out. This was the first time Tobin was seeing her angry."Don't worry about that. I will make it up to us. You'll win, Hailey. You just have to trust me." Tobin promised. The drive home was silent. He went inside and called Holly."Hailey, my wife must win the bid

  • We Accept!

    "Mother, we can't let this position go to Hailey!" Rosa yelled again. She had been talking to her mother nonstop.Cami rolled her eyes. "Oh come on, child. You and your brother have been nothing but disappointed to me all this while! Thank goodness he's back at the navy. But you, you're still with me here!""Let me be the CEO. I know I can do a better work than Hailey.""Ha! You can go get yourself a husband first. Then resume work immediately. And come back to tell me all of this again." Cami said. "Let's just call uncle Tommy!" Rosa blurted out. The mention of this name again made Cami to shiver in fear. "Shut up your loose mouth or I'll shut it for you!" Cami threatened. Rosa is wondering why her mother is always so tensed whenever that name pops up. But she said nothing."Fine. Then let's call them and remake this bet. Hailey cannot be the family CEO. Never!" Rosa said finally."Alright then. What is your plan for this? Even if we remake the bet, she might just win." Cami aske

    Finally, they were inside when Sonia rushed forward to let them in."I am so sorry." she said, "I didn't know these arrogant fools were related to you!""How dare you!" Cami yelled out. This woman was not even up to her age!"Don't mind them." Tobin said. "They can be like this sometimes! And we're related only because they're my in laws."Sonia smiled, "Oh is that so?"Tobin heard Cami and her daughter muttering angrily behind as Tobin didn't take their side. But he said nothing and smiled again."Ms. Sonia, I'll leave you alone now." Tobin said and walked away from her.He had a reserved seat and Hailey was there already. Cami and her daughter saw that they've had their seat, so they hurried to join them."Well all this show offs can stop now." Cami said. "Let's get on with this, shall we?""Yes I couldn't agree more. You've promised that Hailey will take over the family business if I can manage to kick David out." Tobin began to say.The looks on his in laws faces were totally shoc

  • That Slap Hurts!

    The end of the day, Tobin invited his in laws as well as his wife to a very expensive restaurant."Wow, this isn't possible." Rosa said to her mother. She just received the message from Tobin."What is it?" Cami asked."Tobin invited us to Dinner House! It's this seven star rated restaurant and the biggest in town according to ratings." she exclaimed. Cami rolled her eyes. "Of course I know Dinner House." Cami said. "But is that even possible? How did he get a reservation?""Exactly! I'm as surprised as you, mom." Replied Rosa. "Well he said by 8pm. We better hurry up, it's past 6 now."Cami crunched her nose in detest. "Well we have to go late. Like thirty minutes late." this made her daughter to frown."But why?""Because dummy, we need to show him that we've still got some self respect! This is how we are. Just because he won doesn't mean we change our ways for him.""Yes you're right! Let's go, one hour late!"Cami hated how dumb her daughter can be. "No you moron. Thirty minutes

  • Loser Of The Game

    Tobin's brows furrowed as he frowned. "What are you talking about miss? Why did you hit me?""I'm going to hit you more! How can a low life like you embarrass my family this way?? Do you know who David is? And you think you can send him just like that!" the woman yelled out.Tobin's voice was still so calm it even surprised him. "Miss, calm down. We can discuss this like the mature people we are.""What nonsense! And you still have mouth to talk??" The woman grunted. "I've called my brother and he's coming right here! You'll sleep in jail. You and your faceless CEO!""You shouldn't talk to him like that. Watch your tongue, woman." Tobin was starting to get angry now."Or what will happen, huh?? This is absurd! This little act of yours will make you suffer! You'll pay for this!""Is this why you have decided to meet with me? To embarrass me?" Tobin asked.The woman rolled her eyes. "Ha!
