Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 64-A Suspect
Royce's POV "You are a murderer, Vera!!! I swear, I'll let you pay for what you have done to my brother!", I snarled. I heard she was softly sobbing while saying she hadn't done anything wrong. She was playing innocent, and so she kept on denying things, even there were already shred of evidences. A total bitch! Suddenly, the door opened, and I saw mom hastily approaching towards Vera's direction and gave her a slap on the face. "You murderer!!! You will pay for this, Andrea!!! You're a shameless bitch!!!", mom lashed out and was about to unleash another slap, but the police stopped her. I stood up and comforted my mother since she was becoming hysterical. I supposed not to tell her what happened, but I guessed, my parents have the right to know, since it's related to my brother's car accident. But dad was still on a business trip, so mom came here all alone after I talked to her over the phone. Like me, she was burning in anger when she saw the woman who was behind Reid's sit
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 65- Arraignment Hearing
Vera's POV Everything seems falling apart, and I couldn't see anything but a total abyss. I kept on asking, what have I done wrong that I deserved to be treated like this. Royce and his mom, called me a murderer and it's so painful like I couldn't breathe anymore. I don't know what exactly they meant to say. But I swear to God, that I am not a murderer! Not even in my wildest dreams could I ever do that. My heart was getting heavier as I stepped inside the prison cell. Handcuffs were already removed, but my freedom was already taken away from me. I don't know how long would I stay behind bars. How I wished all of this was just a nightmare and so when I wake up, everything would go back the way it used to be. Tears were brimming again in my eyes, and in no time I found myself sobbing in the corner of the cell. I sat on the floor, covering my face with both my hands. After a while, I heard footsteps coming inside, but I did not bother to look around. "Sweetie!!! Oh God!!! I'm sorr
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 66- Margaret
Vera's POVMy heart and soul were so exhausted, and it seemed like all my energy were consumed after what happened in the arraignment hearing. I'm now at my room, lying down on the soft mattress.Everything that happened earlier in the court kept flashing back in my mind. The burning rage that I saw in Royce's eyes was still clear in my vision, as well as how his parents looked at me badly.I could feel the sticky liquid that started to brim at the corner of my eyes. I really could not help it because it's so hurting and no amount of words could ever define the pain that I'm feeling right now. I gently rubbed my tummy, because as of this moment, only this little angel I'm carrying inside my womb, is the only source of my strength.I was in the midst of deep thought when my phone rang. It was my best friend Alexa. I haven't told her what happened and I'm sure once she knows everything, she would become more worried of me."Hello gurl", I spoke softly."Hi gurl, are you okay? I can sens

Royce's POV I really had a bad time after the arraignment hearing, like I wanted to throw all my punches to the wall. And even I am now in the office still Vera’s face kept flashing back in my mind. I could not understand why I got pity on her when I looked at her eyes yesterday when we were facing each other in the court. But no! She was just playing innocent! She tried to kill my brother by taking off the car's brake, The reason why my brother met an accident that almost took his life. That bitch was the reason of Reid's comatose state, so she had to pay for everything she had done! For breaking Reid's heart and for trying to kill him. I leaned my back on the swivel chair and tried to close my eyes. I don't want to remember her anymore! I hate her so much, and I'll not gonna stop until she would put into prison. After a while, the door opened and I saw Margaret coming inside. "Good morning, my dear cousin!", Margaret smiled and approached me with a kiss on the cheek. I tried
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 68-Great news
Royce's POVAfter the dinner, I already had in mind that maybe Margaret doesn't really know who I am. She was just pretending that she knew my real identity to protect her father and brother. It's impossible that she doesn't remember that I have a shrimp allergy. She is my cousin and we grew up together. But what if she was just acting like she doesn't know my allergy because she was planning to do something? I mean, what if she ordered the shrimp intentionally, to confuse my mind, so I could come up with the idea that she doesn't really know who I am?I shook my head and laid my body on the soft mattress, I was in deep thought when my phone rang. It was my mom's call. She travelled to Canada after the arraignment yesterday, just to check on Reid's condition. I guess, dad was also there.The moment I accepted the call, I heard mom's quavering voice. "Mom, what is it? Is t-there s-something w-wrong?", I suddenly got panic."Royce son, your brother already regain his consciousness!", mo

Vera's POVThe files stored in the microsd card were already unprotected after I typed Margaret's name in capital letters. Alexa and I looked at each other in great shock as we were both very eager to find out all the files stored in it. Alexa clicked the picture folder and all we could say were pictures of Margaret, her dad and brother. Then, as my friend continued to scroll up, we saw photos of Vanessa and Charles together in a restaurant. I tried to zoom in the picture to find out if it was really Vanessa Taylor, META's Senior Accountant, who had quited the job a few weeks ago.It was really her! And it seemed Charles and her were doing good together. I paused for a while and looked at Alexa."You know gurl, this woman was the former Senior Accountant in META, but after I caught her intruding into the CEO's office, she resigned from work.", I spoke trying to analyze the things thoroughly in my mind."Oh I see... So--this microSd card, probably belongs to either Margaret or Charles
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 70- Andrea...Vera...
Royce's POVAfter I heard Reid mentioning the name of Andrea, an inexpilcable anger rose my heart. I wanted to hear more from him but he already closed his eyes and went back to sleep while I was not feeling comfortable because I know my brother wanted to tell me something very important. "Are you okay son?", mom asked anxiously. I know she did not hear what Reid said, because she was sitting a little bit far from us."Yes mom, I'm fine", I responded and sat near Reids' hospital bed.Then I heard the door opened and when I raised my head, I saw dad coming in.I stood up and hugged him slightly. "Dad, how are you?""I'm fine son, but facing so many pressures in the real estate company. How are you Royce?", dad spoke in a calm voice."Uhm, by the way, when will be the first trial of Vera?", he suddenly asked."It will be two weeks from now dad", I responded casually but I feel a pang of pain striking deep within my heart when I heard Vera's name.

Vera's POVFinally, Alexa and I were able to open the folder and all we could see were pictures of Roxette Jones. So it came up my mind that Roxette and Margaret knew each other or maybe they were really friends.I continued scrolling up until we saw the last ten pictures. But my eyes were dilated when I saw my photos taken at different angles but the one that captured my interest was one photo of mine that taken up close. Alexa and I looked at each other in confusion.We were more shocked when I happened to click a certain video at the last part. I saw Roxette and Margaret with a woman sitting on a hospital bed, together with a doctor. I think that woman was undergoing a surgery."Oh my God! Do you know what's in my mind now gurl?", Alexa spoke.I was in the midst of deep thought when suddenly, I feel the pain in my stomach. I laid down in bed while softly rubbing my tummy."Gurl, are you okay? Did you already have your prenatal checkup gurl?", she asked anxiously.I shook my head wh

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.

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.

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."

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
