Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 51-Blinded by Hatred
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
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 52-Rejection
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
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 53- Saddest Moment
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
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 54- Close-minded
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
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 55- Knowing the Truth
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.
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 56- A Threat
Vera's POV After I told my brother about my situation, he was very much furious as if he wanted to kill Royce. I can see the burning rage in his eyes as he was clenching his fist. I thought I could not be able to calm him down when he said he wanted to go to META and confront Royce. Well, it doesn't make any sense at all. It won't work out because Royce was already blinded by hatred. There's no way he would listen to anyone, because he believed those pictures more than me. My eyes were brimming again with tears, as I packed my things. I decided to live in Canada with mom and raise my child alone. "Are you sure, you're okay sweetie?", Harold looked at me anxiously. I just nodded and gave him a brittle smile. I need to accept everything, this painful reality, this cruel fate of mine. I am just glad my family still accepted me despite what happened. But I can't anymore stay here in LA. Maybe, someday, when I'll be fully healed. For now, I need to forget all the bad memories and live my
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 57- Blackmail
Royce's POVIt was almost eight in the evening when I arrived home. As I entered the sala, I saw dad and mom sitting on the sofa bed. I thought they were already sleeping because they were used to be in bed at eight."Hi dad, mom!", I approached and kissed mom's cheek, then turned to dad and gave him a slight hug."Hello son, how are you? You looked so haggard, is there something wrong?", mom asked curiously while intently looking at me. I set aside my briefcase and sat beside her on the sofa bed."Son, whatever it is, you need to tell us", dad spoke calmly."Hmm. Don't worry, our housemaids were already in their quarter, so it's safe for us to talk about private matters", he added."Royce, son, what is it?", mom asked again and held my hand.A loud sigh escaped from my mouth. I don't know if it's a good idea to tell them what happened recently at META. Dad is also facing a lot of pressure in the real estate company. And mom's emotional state is not yet stable because of Reid's situat
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 58- An Agitation
Royce's POVI was in deep thought when Margaret went out of my office. Still, I couldn't believe that she already knew my real identity. But what if she just made it to blackmail me, and she doesn't really know the truth?Margaret became desperate for what happened to her dad and brother, so, it's also possible that what she said to me earlier were just her drama. In META, only one person knew the real me and that's----I shook my head because it's so impossible. Walter is Reid's best friend, and there's no way he would betray his own friend. But who else have told Margaret about it?All of the sudden, I feel uneasy. I don't know what I supposed to do, since she threatened me to reveal my identity to everyone here, especially to the board of directors, if I will not withdraw the lawsuit against Uncle Sam and Charles. I'm sure that if the BOD finds out the truth, they would immediately call action to dislodge me from my position. And I won't let that to happen, not until Reid will reg

"Congratulations Mr. Miller, your wife has delivered a baby boy and a baby girl!", the doctor smiled. "Wow! You have twins!", Vince and Alexa spoke together. "Thank you doctor", Royce said in excitement. "Congratulations bro!", Vince tapped Royce's shoulder and shook his hand. "You are now a Daddy bro!", Alexa chuckled. Soon after, they went inside the private room to see Vera. Royce kissed his wife passionately and held her hand gently. "You delivered a twin babe! Thank God! You are safe." "Congratulations Vera!", Vince said. "Gurl, congratulations! You are now a certified Mommy!", Alexa uttered and kissed Vera's cheek. "Thank you. How about you? Are you not planning to get pregnant?", Vera asked. Vince and Alexa looked at each other as if there was something they wanted to tell. "Gurl, what is it?", Vera asked in confusion. "Uhm, the truth is---I am one-month pregnant gurl!" "Oh really?", Vera exclaimed in surprise. "Wow, bro congrats!", Royce hugged Vince and tapped
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

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
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 100- The Battle is Not Yet Over
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
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 99- Rescuing Reid
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
