Vera's POVI was resting in my bed, yet sleep eluded me. I kept on thinking about Royce and how he took the bullets that were intended for me. 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
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. "What's wrong sweetie?", Harold asked anxiously while we were having breakfast one morning."I noticed that you've been like that for a few days. Do you think your Mom would be happy to k
"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
“I don't love you, Reid! I am just playing around with you! And now it’s over. We are over!”, Andrea blurted out, giving emphasis to every word she utters. “No! please don't leave me, Andrea, I love you so much. I can't live without you!”, Reid pleaded and hugged her tightly. “Let go of me!”, Andrea pushed him away and left him out of the blue. He was crying like a child because God knows Andrea was his first love but she broke his heart. He went out of his condo and drove his car at a higher speed and velocity. The feeling of anguish was blocking out every logical reasoning he had in his mind. His heart was aching in so much pain. He felt like it was the end of the world for him. The end of everything. -Blaaaag!!! A loud colliding sound echoed the flat surface, and he could feel the sticky liquid dripping from his head. He closed his eyes as he cascaded into darkness.
Royce Miller's POV "I beg to disagree, dad! Why it's gonna be me? You know already that business is not in my vocabulary ever since!", I blurted out and thumped my forehead with my hand. I just arrived from a hang-out with my friends. I was a little bit drunk and my best friend Vince drove me home, leaving my car at the bar. But after hearing my dad's words, it seems all my senses were awakened. There was a silence. But after a while, I heard mom speak in a calm voice. She was also sitting there on the sofa bed beside my father."Royce son, it's only for the meantime. Your brother is still in the hospital"My mom started to get emotional."But mom, I can't do that", I gruffed. "How could someone like me take a big responsibility?" I'm asking it mentally. It's very hard on my part. I did not even finish my college degree due to negligence in my studies. I was even caught by my professors cheating during examinations, not only once but many times, the reason why I was transferred to
Royce Miller's POV It was already 10:00 0' clock in the morning when I woke up. My head was aching badly so, I took a pain reliever inside my medicine cabinet, then went back to bed. But I could not anymore get back to sleep. I am thinking again about what my parents asked me last night. They wanted me to take Reid's position, so that means they trust me and believe as well that I can do the responsibility. I smiled upon thinking about it because for the first time in my life, my parents have this confidence that I can do something in the company. I shook my head and closed my eyes for a while. Suddenly, I remembered my brother's phone. I need to bring it to the cell shop and have it repaired. I stood up because I feel like my headache has already subsided. I quickly grabbed my towel and went to the bathroom to take my shower. Afterwards, I got dressed in a checkered polo shirt paired with blue jeans and sneaker shoes. I put my brother's cellphone in my pants pocket. Then I went o
Vera Anderson's POV It was Monday in the morning when I decided to buy a new cellphone to replace the old one. I think I badly need it since I am now busy applying for a new job. Actually, I worked before in one of the Lending Institutions in Washington. After I took my master's degree, I was hired as Financial Officer with a much higher salary. But after two years of work, I got bored and decided to go back to LA since I wanted to stay with my brother. Besides, I wanted to fulfill my dream to work at the best talent agency in the entire city. I'm supposed to be applying at META, but because of the accident happened to Reid, I was taken aback. I shook my head when I remembered Reid. Still, I couldn't believe he is in coma for two weeks already. I hope he will get well very soon because he is very much needed in META. After 15 minutes of driving, I arrived at the Cellphone Care Center. I decided to bring with me my documents inside to have them photocopied. I placed them in a folde
Vera Anderson's POVI stopped for a while in recalling what happened in the past. As much as I could, I don't want to remember it anymore. But when I saw Royce earlier, I feel like my heart seems to be racing again. It's been three years already since it happened, yet, I can't forget how those sultry lips of him touched mine. I closed my eyes as remnants of the past continuously muddled the tranquility of my mind.Alexa began counting."The kissing game begins in 3,2,1 go!"As soon as the lights turned off, I slowly made a few steps back to the dressing room to hide there for the meantime. But someone grabbed my waist and kissed me. I felt like millions of volts were running through my veins as the unknown lips touched mine, The kiss was warm and passionate which made me respond to it. Until the lights were back on and girls were screaming out loud when they realized whom I was kissing with. Oh my God! it was Royce! I felt so embarrassed when he looked at me intently. I hurriedly ra
