When Verosha’s laughter finally died down, she get up from her seat and went closer to the frosted window of her office. She watched everyone move according to their chosen life before she turned to her men, particularly to Nicolite.
“Very well, I’m letting you go because of your Sir Lium’s command, and be prepared for how tight the security of all of my properties will be changed into now that he’s with us.” She meet their confused faces and pardon what Nicolite and the others did yesterday.
“What Sir Lium can do for us, Lady Vero?” Max still wondered and Verosha just smiled like a sly fox that she could be.
“I’m not sure but I’m loving about what he was busy plotting around my properties. I wanted to see how things will turn out.” she answered and looked outside the window again with a hopeful sm
“You know that he won’t be safe doing any transaction at the port without any protection from any powerful familia.” Verosha states her reason for her sighing to what she just heard from her husband but Lium seems not affected by it.“You also should know that some of familia around the areas also want to have their own cargo port as one of their assets. It's a big and dangerous business to make.” She added that every familia or mafia or even gang had a shipping boat for their smuggling transactions whether they were big or small. It would be a dangerous business from her point of view.Lium understood what and where his wife was coming from since Verosha was a leader of her own familia that she inherit from her mother. She knew how dirty, dangerous, and deadly to have a business
There was a chuckling drunken voice from a very familiar prey that was totally a sore in Verosha’s life. Barron Castle. ‘Well, hello my dear and lovely Verosha, how are you? I hope you’re doing great because soon or maybe later, everything you own will be gone in your hand.’ “Oh, don’t worry, I’m all good. And about the money that I own, every ounce of it will go to the charities that I am helping and the rest will be divided among every loyal worker in my company. It will be a very generous treat for them which you’re not going to receive anymore.” Verosha coldly answered as she heard a drunken voice from Barron. He was totally drunk early in the morning. ‘YOU’RE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT!’ “Pay? For what? You put yourself in that position so don’t blame me f
“I need to have a meeting with the entire design team department so this will be lessened and hoping for more proposals to be approved for their early release.” Lium explained to his wife that the design teams were having the same problems and he need for them to know it instead of talking with them one by one. “So to do that I need to have the list of those projects that you already approved so they’ll be exempted from the meeting and I might use their projects as their inspiration or reference.” he added as he was finishing his meal. “Hmm, if you’re going to show their projects, why not let them inspire them?” Verosha suggested and Lium’s eyes went wide from what he just heard from his wife. He grinned at the idea. “That’s a nice call. I’ll do that better since I don’t want to do all the talking there.” he kiss
Leaving the company first, Verosha went straight to her dinner meeting with investors and clients from international. Even though she doesn’t like the idea of attending the meeting alone, she has to do it for the sake of her employees in the company. She was not just working for herself or her family but for everyone who was loyally working with her. But there was something making Verosha a little bit agitated like as if something bad will happen later. She really hates that feeling but at the same time, the adrenaline of excitement will soon awaken her again. “Lady Vero, are you alright?” Max asked when he noticed some cold and foul mood written over Verosha’s face while they were on the way to the venue. “I am fine…I just got the feeling something will happen…I am not sure if it is a good thing o
But that was not the only thing that they did because Max, pulled out his gun and hit their tires. It was making the two cars in front of them stumbled on the road before slamming on the concrete barrier on both sides. “That’s a nice hit!” Max was indeed enjoying himself from the action on the road. Andy shook his head and looked over the rear mirror to check on their lady boss. “Are you okay, Lady Vero?” Andy asked as they passed the two cars with the almost wrecked and the last car tailed them. “I’m perfectly good. But I’m not sure about the next harsh impact.” Verosha was being honest about what she just felt there and protecting her abdomen after it happened. “Glad to hear about the concern. I’ll remember that just hold on.” Andy nodded and c
Verosha might be blushing but she just decided to ignore her cousin’s teasing grin and just gave her honest answer to her husband. “The dinner went well and I closed the deal with them. I already like their idea and the only thing I suggested to them was the features and luxury of the hotel. They love my suggestion and it will branch out soon. So, better prepare yourself because you’re going with me when we visit it one day.” she answered her husband’s question, and Lium liked the idea and kissed her cheek. “I’m cool with that.” he smiled at the thought of traveling outside of the country with his wife even though it will for some business purposes. “And you? How about the late work that you were doing before I left? How does it go?” Verosha asked in return about his work as soon as she left the co
Sensing something was up from her husband due to the tone that he used to them, Verosha took the liberty to sit up straight on the bed and called for her husband’s attention. “Where are you going?” Veosha asked directly her husband who was about to leave her at the hospital while he handle something on his own, again. “Back to the office, there was something I would like to check there first and I might not go home. But I’ll be back here tomorrow.” Lium assured his wife but Verosha was not buying it. She could tell that he was totally up to something. “Okay, be careful.” but those words escaped from her mouth, and let her husband deal with whatever he thought might be needed on doing. “Love you.” Lium professed and kissed Verosha’s lips lovingly.
Lium might be watching carefully every move that Barron and his men have been doing on their own while listening to Luisito. “No wonder her hands were shaking when she saw her vulnerability to me that time…” Lium thought to himself when he heard it. He knew that his wife was not born to kill but she was forced to do so. And even her hands were tainted by those blood, she still managed to crawl back to the light and help the innocent blood of those people who betrayed her parents. “Where are they?” he wondered about those innocent youngsters who have no connection to what happened to his wife’s parents. “The oldest ones were already married and settled down while the others were either traveling around the world, doing their business, and the youngest was in college with a double master's degree.” L
