Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO ~Prologue~
“I don't love you, Reid! I am just playing around with you! And now it’s over. We are over!”, Andrea blurted out, giving emphasis to every word she utters. “No! please don't leave me, Andrea, I love you so much. I can't live without you!”, Reid pleaded and hugged her tightly. “Let go of me!”, Andrea pushed him away and left him out of the blue. He was crying like a child because God knows Andrea was his first love but she broke his heart. He went out of his condo and drove his car at a higher speed and velocity. The feeling of anguish was blocking out every logical reasoning he had in his mind. His heart was aching in so much pain. He felt like it was the end of the world for him. The end of everything. -Blaaaag!!! A loud colliding sound echoed the flat surface, and he could feel the sticky liquid dripping from his head. He closed his eyes as he cascaded into darkness.

Royce Miller's POV "I beg to disagree, dad! Why it's gonna be me? You know already that business is not in my vocabulary ever since!", I blurted out and thumped my forehead with my hand. I just arrived from a hang-out with my friends. I was a little bit drunk and my best friend Vince drove me home, leaving my car at the bar. But after hearing my dad's words, it seems all my senses were awakened. There was a silence. But after a while, I heard mom speak in a calm voice. She was also sitting there on the sofa bed beside my father."Royce son, it's only for the meantime. Your brother is still in the hospital"My mom started to get emotional."But mom, I can't do that", I gruffed. "How could someone like me take a big responsibility?" I'm asking it mentally. It's very hard on my part. I did not even finish my college degree due to negligence in my studies. I was even caught by my professors cheating during examinations, not only once but many times, the reason why I was transferred to

Royce Miller's POV It was already 10:00 0' clock in the morning when I woke up. My head was aching badly so, I took a pain reliever inside my medicine cabinet, then went back to bed. But I could not anymore get back to sleep. I am thinking again about what my parents asked me last night. They wanted me to take Reid's position, so that means they trust me and believe as well that I can do the responsibility. I smiled upon thinking about it because for the first time in my life, my parents have this confidence that I can do something in the company. I shook my head and closed my eyes for a while. Suddenly, I remembered my brother's phone. I need to bring it to the cell shop and have it repaired. I stood up because I feel like my headache has already subsided. I quickly grabbed my towel and went to the bathroom to take my shower. Afterwards, I got dressed in a checkered polo shirt paired with blue jeans and sneaker shoes. I put my brother's cellphone in my pants pocket. Then I went o

But when I saw Royce earlier, I feel like my heart seems to be racing again. It's been three years already since it happened, yet, I can't forget how those sultry lips of him touched mine. I closed my eyes as remnants of the past continuously muddled the tranquility of my mind.Alexa began counting."The kissing game begins in 3,2,1 go!"As soon as the lights turned off, I slowly made a few steps back to the dressing room to hide there for the meantime. But someone grabbed my waist and kissed me. I felt like millions of volts were running through my veins as the unknown lips touched mine, The kiss was warm and passionate which made me respond to it. Until the lights were back on and girls were screaming out loud when they realized whom I was kissing with. Oh my God! it was Royce! I felt so embarrassed when he looked at me intently.

He is my father's most trusted bodyguard who had been working with us for quite a long time and his loyalty to the family is already proven and tested. But this time, he is not around maybe, he was called by dad, I thought.Dad's men approached me and showed me some respect."Where have you been? I'm sure dad instructed you not to get out of your post. You are supposed to be watching my brother for 24 hours! ", I said roughly. The men lowered their gaze."We apologize, sir Royce. We are--", one of dad's men spoke but he was not able to finish what he wanted to say because Uncle Sam and the doctor went out of the room. Uncle Sam approached me and gave me a sligh

Royce Miller's POV My heart was filled with fidgets and apprehension as I boarded our private jet back to LA. With me, are my parents, Walter, and a few of my dad's men including Arthur. I feel uncomfortable wearing this charcoal gray suit jacket, with a pressed clean white collared shirt under it and a classic necktie, paired with dark trousers and well-polished leather shoes. This is my first time wearing business formal attire and I feel a little awkward. Walter who is sitting beside me tapped my shoulder as if to say I need not to worry because everything will go well.

No wonder, he is my brother's best friend because they have the same priorities.Walter was my brother's classmate in college and his executive assistant in META.

Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 106- A Proposal
Vera's POVOne week had passed after my last conversation with Royce yet the sting of our farewell was still present. I thought it would be easy for me but with each passing day, I felt an inexplicable sadness and emptiness deep within. I was supposed to be happy with my decision but it did not turn out as I expected to happen. Until I found myself aimlessly scrolling through my phone, ending up in the recycle bin. The photos of Royce and me, which I had previously removed, were still there. As I looked at them, my tears began to flow one by one, as I yearned for those times we spent together.Dave on the other hand was just waiting for me to say 'yes' to his marriage proposal. I was supposed to accept his offer a day after I said goodbye to Royce but suddenly I found myself in a state of confusion.

Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 105- Forgiveness
Vera's POVI was resting in my bed, yet sleep eluded me. I kept on thinking about Royce and how he took the bullets that were intended for me. I was just thankful that nothing bad happened to him, otherwise, I couldn't find peace of mind in my lifetime.Reid and Mrs. Miller asked me to stay in the hospital until Royce woke up. But I decided to leave since I did not want him to see me. I was eternally grateful to him for saving me and my baby, and for that, I had already forgiven him. That was all.Meanwhile, I was thinking about Margaret. Finally, we got justice for Andrea. Her life imprisonment would be enough to pay for all the things she did to me, to my sister, and Roxette. Suddenly, Harold was knocking at the door. I knew that it was him since he usually knocked three times."Yes boo, come in!", I said.Harold entered my room and sat on my bed. "How are you, sweetie?""I'm fine boo.""Uhm, what do you want to do now sweetie? Are you still planning to go to Canada and settle the
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 104- Interception
Vera's POV While the jury was still deliberating about Margaret's cases, we took first a break outside. Vince approached us while Royce remained seated on a couch a little distant from us. "Hi babe!", Vince greeted Alexa with a kiss, and then he turned to me. "Hi Vera", he said and hugged me. "Hello, Vince. It's good to see you here! Uhm, by the way, this is my Mom. I mean, my biological mother and my younger sister", I said. "Hmm. Yes. Alexa told me about it", Vince responded and greeted Mom. "Hi, Aunt Olivia. Hello, little girl!", he messed up my little sister's long hair. She was a shy-type girl but according to my mother, she was not like this before when Andrea was still alive. She was attached to my twin sister so until now, she still couldn't move on from what happened. "Uhm, Vince let me introduce to you my friend Dave." "Dave, this is Vince, Alexa's boyfriend." Vince smiled and greeted him with a handshake. "Hi, bro! Nice meeting you." Dave returned the smile, but s
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 103- Face Trial
Vera's POV It was my alarm clock that woke me up from sleep. Despite the early hour, I had to get up due to Margaret's impending trial, a day I had been eagerly anticipating. I was hopeful for a just verdict that would make Margaret accountable for her actions. After this, I would be staying in Canada for good. This had been my plan before but it did not realize because I still wanted Margaret to pay for Identity Theft and most importantly, for killing my sister. My mother and I had already concurred on this. I would be living with her and my younger sister to make up those times we were not together. And--- Dave unexpectedly crossed my mind. I pondered over the possibility of accepting his marriage proposal. After all, he was a decent man, and eventually, I would learn to love him. But what if I fail? Everyone advised me to accept Dave's proposal for my baby's sake. Yet, I harbored doubts, as I didn't want to take advantage of his kindness. It would be unfair to him. A phone ca
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 102- Behind the Hatred
Royce's POV For us to avoid the media men, Reid and I took the elevator going to the basement. "Bro, are you okay?", I asked and tapped his shoulder, Reid just let out a heavy sigh, instead of answering my question. "Are we going home now bro? I think you need to take some rest", I said as I started the engine. "Nope, bro. Let's drop by at the police station. I wanted to see that traitor friend of mine!", Reid gritted his teeth as he emphasized the word 'traitor'. I did as what I was told to do but I did not bother to talk to him while we were on our way. I knew he was not okay. The corners of his mouth turned down in a sad frown while his brows furrowed. His complexion paled as if the blood had drained from his face. His gaze was a mixture of pain and anger for being betrayed by his best friend. A few moments later, we arrived at the police station. Reid got out of the car first so I hurried to get out as well. We entered at the entrance door and the first thing that caught ou
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 101- Gradual Resolution
Royce's POV Finally, the stars were aligned with us. With the help of our competent detectives, the police were able to catch the other kidnappers involved in Reid's kidnapping incident. We also found out that one of them was the driver who bumped into Dad's car, so, that person was indicted in a murder case. The police asked him the reason for killing my father but he said he was just following an order from his 'boss'—something that was baffling in my mind. Moreover, Nicholas Monet, also known as 'Simon Morris' was caught by the authorities at the LA Cruise Terminal when he was about to board a cruise ship. This time, I would make sure that this fucking asshole would be put behind bars and pay for all the crimes he committed. However, the person who ordered him to illicitly withdraw funds from our account was not yet identified. Until now, I still couldn't figure out who was behind it. On the other hand, Uncle Sam and Charles were already convicted of embezzlement and attempted

Royce's POV As soon as mom saw us at the door, she felt a sense of relief that was like a soothing balm, easing the worry that gnawed her heart from the time Reid was kidnapped until I left to meet the kidnappers. She quickly ran towards us and opened her arms. "Reid! Oh! God Thank you so much!", mom exclaimed and hugged us while tears of joy rolled down her cheeks. "Are you okay son? Did they not hurt you?" "I'm fine, mom", Reid responded softly. "Royce! Thank you for fulfilling your promise to bring your brother back home. I'm glad you are both safe!", she said as she wiped her tears away. Her face lit up with a bright smile whispering words of love and joy as she embraced us warmly. But despite her smile, restlessness was evident in her eyes, indicating the need for her to get some rest. So Reid and I accompanied her to her room and waited until she had drifted off to sleep. Together we left mom's room, moving quietly so as not to disturb her. "Bro, I think you need to take

Royce's POV The ransom demanded for the release of my brother was already inside the money bag. Everything was set ready, but still waiting for the kidnappers' call to provide the precise location of our meetup. They insisted that I would come alone and I had to follow them for my brother's safety. However, the police had organized a backup team that would support me in carrying out my plan. Suddenly our residence telephone rang. I hurriedly picked it up for I thought it was coming from the kidnappers. "Good morning sir. This is from Ally Bank. We would like to inform you that your family savings account is temporarily frozen because we noticed suspicious activity", the bank personnel spoke intently. "What do you mean suspicious activity sir?", I asked in confusion. "After you had withdrawn the substantial sum of 100 million dollars, another transaction took place, depleting 500 million dollars from the account. It was only later when we discovered that Reid Miller's signature wa
