Royce's POV I was feeling uneasy knowing that tomorrow would be Vera's trial in court. Yes, I wanted her to pay for the crime she committed but there's something I couldn't explain deep inside. Why I felt like I wanted to drop off the criminal charges. I couldn't help but think of Vera and I hate this feeling of pity towards her. She tried to kill my brother by taking off the car's brake. She broke my brother's heart, and she broke my heart as well. My tears started to brim at the corner of my eyes and all I could do was raising my head slightly and looked at the ceiling to prevent my tears from falling. Shit!!! I shouldn't supposed to feel this way. But why I couldn't totally take her off my mind? Why I'm so stupid enough to still think that she really loved me and all of this was just a mistake and misinterpreatation? Setting aside these stupid thoughts, I jumped out of bed and walked into the bathroom. I need to take a cold shower to refereshen myself. Later, I have to be at
Vera's POV I did not know I had fallen asleep when we got home from the trial court. I looked at my watch, and it was already twelve noon. After a while, the door opened, and I saw Alexa coming in. "Hi gurl! How's your sleep! It's already lunchtime. C'mon, Harold and Nanny are already waiting for us in the kitchen." "You know, we have some good news for you gurl!", Alexa exclaimed. I looked at her in confusion. "Uhm, what is it, gurl?" "Harold will be the one to tell you later, gurl. For now let's go out and take our lunch!", Alexa held my hand as we went out of the room "Hi sweetie, how's your sleep?", my brother greeted me when we reached at the dining table. Nanny was also smiling at me. Harold pulled a chair for me and I sat beside him, while Alexa and Nanny were sitting opposite to us. "Uhm, by the way boo, Alexa told me you have some good news for me. What is it boo?", I asked curiously while taking my food. "Later, sweetie, after we're done eating", Harold responded.
Royce's POVI went back to LA, with a heavy heart. The feeling of guilt engulfed my whole being after what my twin brother had told me. Although, the case I filed against Vera was already dismissed, but my conscience was still killing me deep inside. Vera was never Andrea. She was just a victim of false circumstances, and I felt bad about it. I accused her for so many things she has never done in her life. I heaved a deep sigh as I slumped down on the soft mattress in my room. I looked at my watch, and it was already eight in the evening. I tried to close my eyes hoping I could be able to sleep, but I could not.Vera's face with her teary eyes when she was trying to explain she had not done anything wrong kept on flashing back in my mind. Then suddenly, I felt like it's hard for me to breathe.Tears started to brim in my eyes and later I found myself sobbing like a child."Vera, I'm sorry...I'm really sorry.."Then suddenly I remembered something she told me the last time she went t
Vera's POVAfter the dismissal of the case, I decided to stay in Canada for good. My brother already booked our ticket and our flight was scheduled next week. I need to forget everything in this place and start a new life somewhere far from here. "Are you okay gurl?", Alexa asked while fixing herself in the mirror. She would be going back to Westwood now after staying one day with me."I'm fine gurl, don't worry about me", I smiled."Thank you so much for staying with me gurl, for not leaving my side during the saddest and lowest times of my life. You are really my best friend and I love you so much!", I was getting emotional while pulling Alexa in a hug."Don't mention it gurl. You know that I'm always here for you, no matter what. So just be fine and I'll be fine too, I want you to be happy and if leaving this place would be the only way to ease your mind, then go ahead gurl. I'll support all your decisions. Anyway, I'll visit you in Canada often, so no worries", Alexa was teary-e
Royce's POVMy head was aching when I woke up in the morning. I felt a little groggy for drinking last night at Vince's condo unit. I looked at my watch, and It was almost eight o'clock, so I hurriedly jumped out of my bed and took a quick shower.Afterwards, I got dressed, but suddenly my cellphone rang. The number was not registered, so it could either be from the private investigator or someone I hired to put a hidden camera inside Uncle Sam's office last time."Hello", I spoke."Mr. Miller, I did what you have told me. I closely monitored and checked my connections to the hidden camera placed inside your Uncle's office. I'll be sending to you the video file in your email", the man said, and then he ended the call.I sat on the couch for a while, as I opened my email. The file was already there in my inbox, so I hurriedly downloaded it.In the video, Uncle Sam and Charles were having a conversation when Margaret entered the office. She was bringing a piece of paper and handed it t
Vera's POVIt was almost ten o'clock in the evening, but I was still wide awake. I was still thinking a lot of things while lying on my bed.Suddenly, my cellphone rang. I took it from the bedside table, but the number flashed on the screen was not registered on my phone. I was in doubt whether to take the call or not. So far, only my brother, nanny, Alexa and Dave knew my new contact number.My heart was beating fast, feeling afraid that it might be coming again from another person who wanted to ruin my life. I tried to ignore the call, but my phone kept on ringing over and over again. So, I had no choice but to take it whatever it may be."Hello", I spoke.No one answered from the other line. There was a silence and it took five seconds of dead air."Hello. May I know who is this, please?", I spoke again."V-Vera...I'm s-sorry..."It was a man's quavering voice, and it sounded familiar to me. "Royce?", I uttered."Vera, I'm sorry.!!! I made mistakes!"I heard he was sobbing on the
Royce's POV It was already eleven in the evening yet, I was not able to sleep. I kept on walking to and fro inside my room, feeling anxious about what would gonna happen tomorrow in the BOD meeting. Uncle Sam had no idea that the person he hired to kill Reid was already in the custody of the Canadian police. He believed that Reid was already dead because I instructed the man to pretend that he was able to carry out the plan.On the other hand, it remained a puzzle to me, how did Uncle Sam find out that Reid was still in the hospital and in the process of recovery? Who told him? I was thinking of it deeply and took a deep sigh. Suddenly, a certain person was popping into my head. Walter? No, no, no!!! I shook my head. It could never be him! I set aside those thoughts because it's totally irrational. Walter is Reid's bestfriend and his most trusted employee in META. I took a deep sigh as I sat down on my bed. Suddenly, my phone rang. I hurriedly picked it up thinking that it was co
Vera's POV My decision was already fixed. I had to leave this place and start a new life in Canada. There's no reason for me to stay here, especially that my brother would be getting married to his long-time girlfriend a few months from now. I was busy packing up my things when my phone rang. I hurriedly took the call, as soon as Dave's number flashed on the screen. "Hi, Dave!" "Hello, Vera. I have a very important thing to tell you. I know you would also not believe this. But I hired a private investigator to look up for the real Andrea. Then, the PI called me a while ago and he told me that the real Andrea was not the one who had undergone plastic surgery copying your face", Dave spoke. "If she was not the one then, who could that be, Dave?", I asked curiously. "It's--Mar--It's Margaret Vera." "What??? M-Margaret? Royce's cousin?", I asked, in great shock. "Yes, Vera." "But why? I mean---what was her motive why she did that?" "I don't have any idea, Vera. I told the PI to
