Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 94- Deep Sorrow
Royce's POV*********WASHINGTON, DC.As soon as we arrived at the hospital, Reid and I hastened our steps towards the entrance of the building. We got from the Hospital Information Desk that Mom's condition was already stable so she was moved to a private room on the third floor. But Dad was still in the operating room, so we're not yet totally at ease.An extreme apprehension was running in my mind as we took the elevator going to the third floor. I knew, Reid felt the same. So I couldn't help but also feel worried about him since he had not yet fully recovered from the accident, then here comes another dreadful incident happened to our parents.The elevator dinged and we hurriedly went out, heading to Mom's private room. Just a few knocks on the door and then we entered. Aunt Sophie, Mom's only sister, was there sitting on a couch."Hi Royce, Reid!", she stood up and hugged us."Hello, Aunt Sophie. Thank you for taking care of Mom. How is she now?", I asked while my eyes were looki
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 95- Dreary Situation
Royce's POV It's been a week since Daddy passed away, but the agony of losing him has not alleviated, even just a little. His body was cremated and kept at the Columbarium in Forest Lawn Memorial Park. After his cremation, we went back to LA, and our residential house in Washington was taken care of, by our servants. It was really difficult for us to move on. Mom just stayed in her room crying all day long while looking at Dad's picture. So all I did was to be at her side and give her comfort. She didn't even take her meals when our housemaid brought her a food platter and even though I encouraged her to take her meals, she remained stunned. Reid on the other hand, was in the office, so I was the only one left at home. He went to work with drooping shoulders and a gloomy face but he had no other choice since META needs him. Even I, was also struggling but I had to be strong for my family. While watching Mom sleeping in her room, I was thinking about the accident. According to the
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 96- Olivia Martin
Vera's POV While waiting for the bodyguards to arrive, I thought of calling my best friend Alexa. So I took my cellphone and dialed her number. After a few rings, she was on the other line. "Hi gurl! How are you?", she spoke first. "I'm fine gurl. But I need to tell you something", I said then I started telling her that I was only born out of dad's infidelity. Alexa was shocked by what she heard but remained quiet waiting to hear more of it. But when I mentioned to her about my twin sister, Venice, she was a little bit more surprised. "You have a twin sister gurl?", she asked to confirm if she heard it right. "Yes gurl", I sighed. "Uhm, Andrea, you said she looks exactly like you? Could it be possible that she is your---" "Yes gurl, she is my twin sister. But---she is already d-dead", I choked up after saying the last word. "What? Dead?" "But why?", Alexa raised her voice. "That's what I wanted to find out gurl. In fact, I'll be going out now to meet my biological mother."
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 97- Kidnap for Ransom
Royce's POVMy plan to go to Skybar had slipped my mind when I saw Vera, riding in her car. She was not the one driving but a man, whom I wasn't sure if it was her brother or Dave. She was just sitting in the backseat while another man was sitting in the passenger seat. It was quite obscure who it was since I was a little distant from them.Out of curiosity, I moved behind them but not too close to her car so she would not notice that I was following them.And when the road they were taking became familiar to me, I became even more curious. If I was not mistaken, it was the road heading to the apartment where Andrea's family stayed. I continued driving and after several minutes, the car stopped.I was right!After a while, Vera got out of the car with a man whom I thought was her bodyguard, based on his appearance.Why did Vera come here? I was asking at the back of my mind.I was thinking about seconds before I remembered that Andrea looked the same as Vera, so was it possible that A
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 98- Overwhelming Joy
Vera's POV I finally had in front of me, the woman whom I wanted to see after long years of being separated. When I first glanced at her, she looked like an older version of me, but after a while, I could say that I only inherited half of her facial features while I got the other half from my father. No words were spoken. Our eyes were just laid on each other truly appalled by this surreal encounter. "Vera!" Her eyes widened in astonishment, her eyebrows arched and her lips parted slightly in a gasp. And when the moment of reality sank in, her mouth slowly stretched into a wide, tear-streaked smile, an expression of felicity and relief. An overwhelming bliss and tears of joy started to well up. "Vera! Oh, my God! It's you!!!" Her words were more of a confirmation rather than a doubt. Indeed, a mother would always recognize her child—the so-called maternal instinct. She quickly came closer to me and we hugged each other tightly while tears rolled down our cheeks, mirroring the
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 99- Rescuing Reid
Royce's POV The ransom demanded for the release of my brother was already inside the money bag. Everything was set ready, but still waiting for the kidnappers' call to provide the precise location of our meetup. They insisted that I would come alone and I had to follow them for my brother's safety. However, the police had organized a backup team that would support me in carrying out my plan. Suddenly our residence telephone rang. I hurriedly picked it up for I thought it was coming from the kidnappers. "Good morning sir. This is from Ally Bank. We would like to inform you that your family savings account is temporarily frozen because we noticed suspicious activity", the bank personnel spoke intently. "What do you mean suspicious activity sir?", I asked in confusion. "After you had withdrawn the substantial sum of 100 million dollars, another transaction took place, depleting 500 million dollars from the account. It was only later when we discovered that Reid Miller's signature wa
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 100- The Battle is Not Yet Over
Royce's POV As soon as mom saw us at the door, she felt a sense of relief that was like a soothing balm, easing the worry that gnawed her heart from the time Reid was kidnapped until I left to meet the kidnappers. She quickly ran towards us and opened her arms. "Reid! Oh! God Thank you so much!", mom exclaimed and hugged us while tears of joy rolled down her cheeks. "Are you okay son? Did they not hurt you?" "I'm fine, mom", Reid responded softly. "Royce! Thank you for fulfilling your promise to bring your brother back home. I'm glad you are both safe!", she said as she wiped her tears away. Her face lit up with a bright smile whispering words of love and joy as she embraced us warmly. But despite her smile, restlessness was evident in her eyes, indicating the need for her to get some rest. So Reid and I accompanied her to her room and waited until she had drifted off to sleep. Together we left mom's room, moving quietly so as not to disturb her. "Bro, I think you need to take
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 101- Gradual Resolution
Royce's POV Finally, the stars were aligned with us. With the help of our competent detectives, the police were able to catch the other kidnappers involved in Reid's kidnapping incident. We also found out that one of them was the driver who bumped into Dad's car, so, that person was indicted in a murder case. The police asked him the reason for killing my father but he said he was just following an order from his 'boss'—something that was baffling in my mind. Moreover, Nicholas Monet, also known as 'Simon Morris' was caught by the authorities at the LA Cruise Terminal when he was about to board a cruise ship. This time, I would make sure that this fucking asshole would be put behind bars and pay for all the crimes he committed. However, the person who ordered him to illicitly withdraw funds from our account was not yet identified. Until now, I still couldn't figure out who was behind it. On the other hand, Uncle Sam and Charles were already convicted of embezzlement and attempted
