"please Reynold! Spare his life! I don't know what to say but he never intended to kill Ashley, it was just an accident. Please don't take his life, he has a son who needs a father!" She tried all the weak points she knew to convince him. But she could feel when Reynold inhaled a sharp breath from the other side. "I'll see about it" he closed the conversation and cut the call, leaving her panicked on the other side. What does it mean to see about it? Maybe he's going to ponder on his decision? She tried to convince herself. She put the mobile down and got ready to leave for hospital with Wales. It was important to see it with her own eyes, if he's going to do anything to him. She won't let him, she'll stop him and Carter will be safe. She made up her mind and left for hospital. *Jason was outside the ward when a group of men broke in. The amount of men in hospital were less and they couldn't stop the Scorpions from entering. Any one of them who tried to fight against Scorpions
Jason went inside and examined the murder scene. He saw the gun in Carter's hand and his head blown. He got out of the room and shouted, "Get all the men! We're going to kill him today before we sleep!" He was literally growling as Wales obeyed and turned around to follow his order. Veronica was still leaning against a wall, when she heard his order, she got up and stood in front of him. "Don't do it, there's no use!" She said between her cries. "What do you mean? He killed Carter! He laid his filthy hands on our boss! I wil...." He was cut off in between. "He killed himself! Carter committed suicide!" She shouted in his face making his expressions and fury drop. "He can never do this to himself!" He whispered in bafflement."He did! I saw him killing himself with the gun he bought from you! Before you make any assumption, I called Reynold last night! I begged him for Carter's life and he was not here to kill him because he agreed. Carter shot himself!" She broke into a fit of c
They all went to the church where Carter's coffin was placed. The priest performed the last rituals and many people joined for the funeral, dressed in black. Many of them were his friends, acquaintances and employees including his rivals which hated him. But the news of his death shocked them and they all joined his funeral. The coffin was lifted up by bunch of men while all the women and men followed them to the graveyard. The coffin was buried and his name engraved on a plate was placed on the header. Veronica was worried that his family didn't join his funeral and if they were aware about his death? Because it was still a mystery who his family was and where they lived. He never mentioned about his parents to Veronica and that was the reason know one knew from where he belong. He made a completely new identity after becoming a part of the Italian mafia and mostly people knew him because of his boss and people considered Ashley as his family too. Veronica stayed behind at the gra
The very next day after everyone was stable from the emotional distress, Jason contacted the lawyer so they could make further decisions regarding the company as his business was facing loss after he couldn't pay his attention in the last week. The position needed to filled immediately so there could be an authority to control the system. The lawyer came at Carter's home where Veronica and Jason were both present and read out the will loud. Which made them understand that Company was now under Veronica and Alex. They would receive all the profit of his company while he appointed Jason as the new CEO of company which gave Jason a mini heart attack at the hearing because he couldn't believe his ears. How was this possible?Certainly shocking for him because it meant Carter believed in his capabilities. And that made him respect so much, more than before. Veronica was not happy with Carter giving all the shares to Veronica and Alex, she was capable of living her life alone and affordin
They reached the school which now turned into a fully designed furnished building and there were no old vibes to it. It was like a high class school for high profile children. She only hoped that her old teachers would be there. She got out of the car first while Sam joined her after parking the car. "You would be really lucky if you find any old fellas or teachers here" be commented as they walked inside and passed the security. "I hope so, I really need to meet them" she told him in her desperate voice. "I still don't get it, you want to revive your memories or what? It seems more than this" he stated, making her turn around and shut her eyes briefly. "Okay I'll admit I have a motive that's why I want to meet them" she admitted finally as they passed the classes and the headed to the principal office. They entered and found a old woman sitting on the chair across the table. Her glasses set on the peak of her nose and having rosy cheeks. "Yes? How may I help you?" She lifted h
She came back from his house and Sam was already waiting for her in the car. She sat inside silently and left with him. He didn't ask questions and she didn't owe him any explanation. They both went back home and everything was normal once again. Sam and Suzy had their flight for the coming day and she was all ready to leave too. She wanted to go back to her home where she was meant to stay for all her life. She packed her bags and left Alex with her parents for a while so they could spend some more time with their grandson. After dinner she came out in the backyard to breath the air. She saw Sam standing there, lighting a cigarette. She motioned him to pass her one too. He questioned her with his eyes, his eyebrows raised. "Give me one! I want it! Don't judge me" she glared back and took out a cigarette, she put it between her lips and he lit it with the lighter. She sucked in the smoke and felt at peace, her mind going into a haze. "I advise that you should marry someone, move
After their lunch, they both went to children's outlet as he wanted to shop for Alex too. He met him for the very first time and he wanted to gift him something. They both shopped for Alex and after that they parted their ways in the parking lot. "It was good to see you Veronica! You made my day with Alex. Hope we'll see each other again" he told her with the genuine smile and she returned the smile. No doubt she enjoyed his company except the new found awkwardness which bothered her really much. "It was good to see you too Reynold. You made Alex happy today. I think he likes you" she asked Alex to wave him a goodbye and he raised his small hand to wave the goodbye to Reynold. Reynold was touched by his gesture. He liked it so much, that he felt this affection towards him. "I hope so" she went back to her car after waving him a goodbye and Wales opened the door for her. She sat in and Wales drove them away until they disappeared from Reynolds sight. He liked Alex, this new child
She took out a black sleek dress which hugged her body perfectly from shoulders to toe. She paired it with a long coat which would help her from cold. Wearing wedges along with it, she was all set with her curves down. She made Alex wore some comfy thick clothes and went out with Wales. But this time he didn't wait outside. He dropped her home and came back, although told her so to call him whenever she'll be done. He will come to pick her up. She liked Wales, he was really a great man with some great manners. Now she know why Carter trusted him with her. Before she could knock on the door, the door was opened by Reynold and he welcomed her inside. He helped her take off her coat and then took Alex in his arms while she adjusted herself and took the place on couch. "I hope it had been convenient for you to be here" he said as he sat down across her, giving Alex back into her lap as he didn't stay with Reynold much. "Ofcourse not! I'm glad I joined you on this special occasion. A
Wearing a white dress which was adorned with pearls in it, long enough for the bridesmaids to carry and expensive enough to not touch the ground. Shaping her figure perfectly as its silk hugged all of her curves and kissed every inch of her body like no one could. A net veil hanging above her face as a diamond head piece on her head as if she was a queen walking towards her throne. Her fragile hands had a bouquet of white roses in between them which had also had pearl studded in it as they were held together with a ribbon. Her father on her side while Sam on her other side. Her mother was also beside her as she walked towards the aisle. People gasped watching the new bride coming in, her hair style looked so fine and natural as if made in heaven with perfection. Her face had the most nature makeup on as if angels did it with their own hands. Her Gucci heels made her stand tall and confident. The scent of flowery cologne was so strong that everyone close to her was enchanted with her
Reynold did exactly as he said. He called off the deal and abducted Gerard on his way to his home. Kept him in his warehouse and tortured him for days until he begged for his death. But he didn't allow it yet. He got his employee back and even apologized to her for such a harsh attitude she had to go through. Everyone was surprised but that's how he was. He always kept it equal. Either with his enemies or friends. He never liked anyone having an upper hand on him. He even rewarded his employee with a bonus as a compensation for her emotional loss. The footage also came out as evidence and he didn't need anymore proof to prove he was actually a bastard. The following day, Veronica asked him to join her as they had to get Alex admission in school. He was going to join the play group batch with all the other toddlers. Veronica already confirmed the spot and all the arrangements were done for the admission. They only had to go and get him enrolled. Veronica didn't want to make Alex f
"care to tell me why would you do that miss? Are you aware how much loss our company has to bear just because of your one stupid behaviour!" He shouted in her face as the poor woman trembled with fear. "I'm sorry sir" she apologized meekly, not lifting her gaze from the floor. "I have no space for sorrys! I am going to fire you!" He announced and she looked up at him, immediately. Losing her job meant that she would never get a job in such a prestigious firm. Most of the companies in interviews always question why they got fired from the previous one and then they don't even hire. "Please sir don't do that! I will try my best next time but your client molested me that's why I couldn't contain my anger and slapped him! I'm sorry, I will not treat anyone like that again!" She started crying as she continued to beg him. "What?" He couldn't believe what he just listened to. Did she really mean by word molested?"Gerard molested you? Miss you should watch your tongue before making suc
"I think I don't want to ruin the moment we're in, so let's leave it for tomorrow morning." She enclosed the topic without revealing anything. But that discomfort still laid deep in her heart and she couldn't wait to let it out.."As you say, but I want to hear it out tomorrow. I won't accept excuses then" he stated and she heaved a sigh as she nodded in response. The cake was set aside as he kissed her on lips and she needed that kiss as she indulged in more and let it continue to a full blown kiss as they made out on the table. He gripped her ass and made her sit on the table as he got in between her legs and grinded his groin against her womanhood while she moaned relentlessly on his mouth. "You're so gorgeous! I'll never get enough of you!" He whispered in her ear as she kissed his neck and down to his Adam's apple. She unbuttoned his shirt and raked a hand over his perfectly built chest and chiseled muscles. Feeling his abes beneath her skin made her arouse so much. "You're we
He was done with his lunch after a while as they both chatted along. He was happy that he finally got these moments of bliss to spend with her after such a hectic routine of the past week. After lunch wrapped up, his assistant knocked in and informed him that Mr Gerard was waiting for him. Veronica got up from her place and picked up her bag, ready to leave. "I should send a driver with you! You shouldn't go yourself" he said considerately as he picked up the receiver to make a call. "Uhh no! I came with my own driver. I'd love to see you tonight or the night after, if your work permits you, of course " she teased him as she headed towards the door. "I get what you mean! I'll see you for sure! Wait for me" he winked before he pecked her lips and she opened the door to leaveBut at the same time the door got opened from the other side as well and Gerard appeared. Both of their eyes met and there was some mockery dancing in his eyes as she looked at Veronica and then smiled at Reyn
They spent the remaining trip discovering different cities of Europe and then in the end they visited Istanbul, Maldives and Thailand. Their trip turned out to be amazing except the hustle of carrying Alex everywhere. Most of the time it became so inconvenient for Veronica to look after him that she regretted it but after all he was her son and she didn't give up on him. Their trip before marriage was the most thrilling experience they had in their lives as they did a lot of shopping and tried out many amazing foods from different cultures. As usual Veronica liked Paris very much due to their warm and welcoming weather and on top of that it had a romantic vibe to it. While Reynold liked all the cities and didn't pick out his favourite. On top of that Veronica got her dress made in Istanbul as she really liked their gowns and decided to go up for size measurements. They chose a beautiful elegant dress which looked gorgeous on Veronica's curves. Reynold was very much excited and he b
After she said yes to marriage, he planned a trip for both of them before marriage. He wanted to see the world with her before they could get married and it involved all their destination places they had been planning since their teenage years.They both were aware that it was going to a long trip and they decided that right after they'll come back home, they'll get married with some intimate family members around. Veronica was thrilled with just having to plan such an amazing trip. She lists down all the countries she wanted to ever since she was a child. Although that also included Italy but now that she was practically living in it, she didn't add that. Their first destination was London starting from Europe. They both packed their bags, stuffed in a lot of warm clothes that they were going to need and some shoes comfortable for travelling. As much as the idea of travelling around the world was intriguing, she was worried about leaving Alex alone with his Nanny. She was going to
"hey!" She chimed over the phone after Reynold picked it over the third ring. "Hi! You sound excited" he hinted at the enthusiasm in her voice. "Yeah I am! Let's have dinner together tonight" she proposed while biting her nails as she was nervous if he would accept it or deny her offer. "Uhh sure, I'll text you when I'm free. Pick you up from your place?" He agreed after a thoughtful observation at his schedule. "Yeah sure, but the place will be of my choice" she stated and he agreed. Soon right after they ended the call, she jumped excitedly on the bed. This was going to be an amazing night after she'll tell him about her feelings and will confess how much she loves him. Her decision is only going to enhance their status of relationship and they will get closer than ever. She made a call to Sam who was in his office and running everyday errands for his family. She told him about how she has fallen in love for the second time and she is going to marry him. "Send me his picture!
Chauffeur opened the door for her and her silver Gucci heel stepped down before she appeared in all her glory and praise. Her sparkling dress was going to be the hot gossip among women tonight and burning sensation in men's chest. But she knew who she belongs to as Reynold wrapped a hand around her waist, firmly and protectively. They were welcomed inside the ball and all the gazes slowly shifted towards the new couple. Her breath was erratic and get hands clammy. There was so much audience and cameras clicking everywhere that her eyes started to hurt from the flashes. When she looked down only then she realised that she was walking on the red carpet. "Don't be nervous! Hold your head high and walk like a queen you are" he whispered in her ear making the goosebumps skitter across her bare skin with his warm voice in that chilling cold. She offered him a smile in return but followed his advice. She held his hand tightly for support as they walked through people and everyone greeted
