Semua Bab Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO: Bab 71 - Bab 80

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

Vera's POV I was lying in bed the whole day. I was not feeling well upon thinking that tomorrow would be my first trial in court. Suddenly, I heard someone knocking at my door. "Darling, Attorney Joseph Williams is here, and also Dave", I heard nanny's voice at the doorstep. "Uhm okay, nanny, I'm coming!", I responded and hurriedly stood up. I got dressed and after fixing myself I went out of the room. My brother was sitting on the sofa bed while Dave and Attorney Joseph were sitting in the opposite side. As soon as they saw me approaching, Dave stood up and smiled at me. "Hi Vera!", he greeted me first. I responded to him and greeted his brother. "You sit here, sweetie", Harold told me and gave me space to sit beside him. "Uhm Vera, tomorrow is already your first trial in court. Are you ready?", the lawyer asked while intently looking at me. I just nodded and waited for him to say something more. "Do you know that they have a certain video of you, taking off the CEO's car bra

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

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

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
