Vera's POVIt's been a week already since that incident happened. I just stayed at home because my brother won't allow me to go out. I still feel the morning sickness due to my situation, and I couldn't help but to get pity for myself.If I could only turn back the times, when my life was still peaceful. I was contented then, but since I met Royce, everything turned upside down. I hate him! And I will continue to resent him for as long as I live!There was a sudden pulse in my stomach. "Baby, I know you are just listening. I'm sorry that I hate your dad, but it's not the way I feel for you, because you're the best gift, God has given to me. So please hold on, until I see you. I love you, my little angel."Tears started to form in my eyes. I tilted my head up slightly to prevent them from falling. I don't want to cry anymore because it may affect the baby inside my womb. But it's really hard and it's totally breaking my heart.Our flight to Canada with my brother was already scheduled
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
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
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
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
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. "So she is actually Andrea, whom your
