Hailey had received a call from her mother, Cami, and it seemed urgent. She picked up from her laptop and the video call connected through.

Her mother was a little bit skinny despite her two surgeries and millions of money spent on beauty tips. Her full lips was in a pause as the call went through.

She saw her daughter staring at her and her eyes widened. "Oh my goodness, Rosa, Justin! Come and look at your sister. See how thin and unkempt she is!"

Hailey frowned at how dramatic her mother could be. Her siblings had popped their heads through the screen too, observing her.

"Indeed she looks so thin." Rosa, Hailey's younger sister said.

Justin was the last born and only boy. He was always so reserved and hated interfering with his family in general. He popped his head to stare at Hailey but with no comment, he went back to his business, leaving just Rosa and her mother.

"Of course she is. Since she's been married to such a poor man, what else do you think!" Cami said.

"Yes mother. I hate that we've been too easy on her. Doesn't she know that we love her and that's why we're caring?!" Rosa said.

"Mother, sister, this isn't important right now. Just answer me, why have you called?" Hailey frowned.

"Well, it's simple you see. Your sister and I have been thinking, there's been a problem at home and we need all the financial help that we can get!" Rosa said.

"So why do you need my help?" Hailey asked.

It was her mother's turn to talk now. "Listen to me hon, we love you and care for you. I've catered for you since you were a baby, now it's your turn to repay me. We are in a mess right now, financially. And the only way you can help is if you get married to a rich man right now."

Hailey was angry now. "But I'm already married! Why can't Rosa get married to this rich man, huh?"

"Because you're the first born, and the growth and responsibilities of this family should lie on your shoulder!" Her mother replied bluntly.

"Also, because he doesn't want me. He wants you!" Rosa said, pouting.

"Thats absurd. I won't do it. I can't!" Hailey protested.

Cami's face was closer to the screen now. "You listen to me, you don't have a choice. There's no way you can help us unless you dump that foolish man!"

"Listen, it's not that hard." Her mother continued. "Just abort the baby and leave Jordan alone."

"Mom, it's Tobin." Rosa corrected.

"Whatever! I don't need to care about his name." Cami cut her daughter off. "All I just need from you right now is that you get us out of this mess! There's a rich man already, and he'll save us from this mess. Come on, if you're my daughter, you will listen to me. Help us, huh?"

Tobin stepped inside in that moment, and saw that his wife was more than happy to see him. She hung up and told her mother she would call later. It was the that Tobin told his wife about the good news of his work. He couldn't tell her the full detail but even that was enough to make her happy.

That evening, Hailey told Tobin her family wanted to see him. She had told them about her husband job and they were too inquisitive, wanting to find out more.

When they arrived at the entrance, Hailey told her husband that she had suggested that they met up. "They want me to marry some rich old dude, Tobin. I couldn't allow that."

"So you brought me here so they can mock me?" Tobin said a bit angry. But there was no turning back now. They were already at the entrance.

Rosa was the one that opened up. "Come in." She said to them, leaving the door open. She was tall with full brown hair and a pretty face that had been abused with too much makeup.

Cami was already waiting for them in the living room. "I hear that you've got a job." Was the first thing she said as soon as they had their seats.

Hailey stepped forward, "yes mother. It's at a motor company! Smiths Automobiles." She said excitedly, waiting for them to celebrate with her, but they only frowned.

"Good for him. But this doesn't change anything." Cami said.

Deep down, Tobin had already came up with a plan. He would make his wife win a bid at his firm without the awareness of anyone. He was quiet all this while thinking of strategies to promote his plan.

"Are you deaf?" He didn't know they were talking to him and he had to wait again until he saw that his mother in law had been talking to him. He stared at his wife and she repeated what they'd asked him.

"Did you know about the contract in the market? It was placed by a new CEO of the firm just today." Hailey asked as her mother had asked.

He shook his head. "No, I don't." Of course he lied. He was the CEO they were talking about!

"Well whatever, I have an announcement to make right now." Cami said. "Whoever can win this offer for the family will automatically become the family CEO. Not that any of you have a shot anyway..."

  • 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! You think this is embarrassment? You haven't seen anything! I will sue Smiths automobiles. And make
