Vera Anderson's POV I arrived at META at 6:30 in the morning. I only had a little sleep but I still wanted to report to the office. Royce is not yet around and I think he would be late in coming here. I cleaned the tables and chairs with a feather duster. Then I turned on the aircon. Afterwards, I opened the PC on my desk and started checking Royce's appointments. He has a business transaction with the Manager of the Rising Talent Agency. I looked at my watch and it's now seven. Royce is supposed to be here at this hour. I grabbed my phone and started dialing his number, but he was not picking up. I texted him, but he did not respond. I'm already worried about him, thinking that maybe he is not feeling well. But why did he not text me? I asked it mentally. I dialed his number again, hoping that he'll gonna answer this time until it turns to fifteen missed calls already. My heart beats fast because I feel like there's something wrong. I waited for another two hours but he is not comin
Royce Miller's POVAfter the Private Investigator sent me all the pieces of evidence, I was finally convinced that Andrea is no other than Vera. Everything went downhill. All I thought, Vera is the woman with whom I wanted to spend the rest of my life but I was totally wrong, She broke my brother's heart, and now, she's breaking mine too. I could hardly breathe because I was not able to get sleep. The painful reality struck my heart a thousand times like I feel there's no more reason for me to live.Suddenly my phone rang and it was Vera. I did not bother to answer it. What for? What I felt for her is anger!!! And all I want is to crush her down until she will get on her knees and ask forgiveness for what she had done to my brother. I promised Reid, to look for the woman who broke his heart, and I was so damn foolish to keep looking for her when she is with me all the time?My phone beeped and when I noticed it was still from Vera, I did not read it. I don't want to hear another lie.
Vera Anderson's POVI suddenly hit my car's brake, because I really could not continue driving. My tears seemed to be blocking my way and everything became blurry. I don't know where to go. I don't want to go home. I'm sure Nanny would be asking me what was going on if she sees me crying. After a while, I saw Vince's car pass the driveway. I don't know if he saw me. He doesn't even care!It was already twelve noon and I feel hungry but I don't want to eat anything. Royce's painful words kept on coming back to my mind and they struck my heart a thousand times. I want someone to talk to and the first person that came to my mind is my friend Alexa. I don't want to believe that it's really happening! Royce would never believe me. He thought of me as Andrea who broke his brother's heart. But how could that be possible? Why do I have those pictures naked in bed with different men? I didn't do anything to Reid and God knows! I was just wrongly accused."Hello gurl, wassup?", I heard Alexa's
Royce Miller's POVI woke up with a heavy heart and I don't know if I can still go on. My mind is filled with Vera's thoughts no matter how much I wanted to forget her. It's not so easy to just accept that everything is fine like there's nothing happened at all. I loved her without knowing that she was the woman who broke my brother's heart. I was such a damn fool, for believing that she really loved me. I hate her! And I hope our roads will not cross again because I don't know what I could possibly do to her. I got up from bed and grabbed my towel. I need to go to the office for a board meeting. But before I could get inside the bathroom, my phone rang. It was Alexa. I'm sure she was calling because of Vera."Royce, you're such unfair! You're nothing but a worthless person! You were supposed to believe Vera more than anybody else! More than those fake pictures!", Alexa lashed out in rage."Alexa, I understand that you're just trying to defend Vera because she is your best friend. Bu
Vera Anderson's POVMy heart kept on thudding inside my chest when Alexa told me that I have the possibility of getting pregnant since I am already two weeks delayed from my monthly period. I began to feel uneasy while waiting for her to come home. She was out for a while to go to the nearest pharmacy to buy a Pregnancy Test just to check my situation. She was supposed to bring me to a Gynecologist for a clinical urine test but I refused so she suggested buying a PT instead.After a while, she arrived home bringing a PT so I immediately walked into the restroom to take a urine sample. I was getting more and more uneasy while waiting for the result. I closed my eyes for a while silently hoping it would have a negative result. But as soon as I opened my eyes, I was dilated when I saw the two red lines, which means it's positive and I'm pregnant. I remembered we did not use any contraceptives the last time we had sex.Suddenly I heard a soft knock on the door "Girl, are you okay?", Alexa
Vera Anderson's POV I went out of Royce's office feeling devastated. Everything seems dark like I was inside a tunnel where I could see no light, even just a dim light. I hurriedly ran to the elevator with tears dripping from my eyes. Ah, this is going to be my last time here. From now on, I promise to forget Royce and start a new life. The story between Royce and me is now over. And I don't want to remember anything from him. And even though I am carrying his child, still I don't know him. He is nothing but a worthless coward! "I hate you, Royce...I promise, you will never see me again!", I said to myself while wiping my tears away. When I heard the ding sound of the elevator, I hurriedly got off. I met some employees on my way to the entrance door. They greeted me, but I just nodded without looking at them. I don't care anymore. I'm no longer part of META. I'm no longer part of Royce's life. I was heading to where Alexa parked her car. We were just using her car in coming here and
Royce Miller's POVI was busy with my online class, when I saw Walter coming to my office, I pressed the button and let him in."Hey dude, here's the report you were asking from me", he spoke and placed a folder on my desk."By the way, where's Vera dude? I haven't seen her for a few days. is she sick?", he asked.I was stunned for a while then, took a deep sigh. As much as possible, I don't want to remember that woman, not even her name. I could not forgive her for what she had done to my brother. "Dude?? Is there something wrong?", Walter asked again and looked at me intently."I already fired her dude. I recently found out, she was the woman who broke my brother's heart". I responded with a blank expression.Walter knitted his brows in confusion. He was staring at me like he wanted to ask what was going on. He was silent and waited until I opened up to him. I groped something inside my briefcase and showed it to him."I hired a Private Investigator to look for Andrea then just a f
Royce Miller's POVIt's been already a week since the last time I saw Vera. I haven't heard anything about her, but what if she is really pregnant, and I'm the child's father? Those questions were just at the back of my mind. But other parts of my brain insisted it was just a lie.While my eyes focused on the files placed on my table, I saw a woman figure coming into my office. I raised my head only to find out that it was my cousin Margaret. I did not have any idea that she's here in LA, after going to France to pursue her modeling career. She was smiling while glamorously walking on her black stiletto.After pressing the -in-button, she entered the office and approached me with a hug, "How are you my dear cousin, you seem so haggard? I think you did not get enough sleep.", she spoke as she clung her hand around my neck."I'm just busy Marga, you know there are a lot of things to do in the company.", I responded casually."Uhm, by the way, Charles told me, you already fired your EA.
