Veronica CEO's Underworld Queen

Her phone's clock read 10:31 AM when Veronica checked it after waking up.

Confident and secured that Rawlf was just outside waiting for her and maybe doing his work there, Rawlf lazily stayed still in bed for a good two minutes before deciding to freshen up.

However, Veronica can't help but still be nervous of what she is to reveal to the man.

It's not just a what but the "who are" and Veronica still don't know where and how to start.

For a fact, she couldn't be blamed because who would have thought that the man she proved last night was so doting on her it's like he's madly in love with her!

Veronica blushed and felt mushy recalling Rawlf's gentle voice last night in her "sleep".

After freshening up, Veronica decided to call her mother first to inform her family, much like her father, about this development.

Yes, she's old enough to decide for herself but her family had always been there supporting her all the way through her pregnancy until now that the twins are older. Her siblings were very doting on her children and she couldn't be grateful enough.

"Vivi?", Celerina's concerned voice was heard from the other line. "Mom. It's me. I need to tell you something."

"What is it? Something happened to you there? Would you like me to send you more forces to help you establish there? Or is it about-"

"Mom,...listen first."

Celerina's worried tone and chain of questions made Veronica grinned. This side of her mother, she could really relate to. Indeed, mothers.

Celerina turned silent in understanding as she waited for Veronica to continue to talk.

"I have been with the twins' father now. And and, I'm about to reveal the twins' existence to

him, today."

Celerina, who was very shocked by the news, knew better than to gasp loudly or whatever the usual motherly dramatic reaction. Rather, she calmed herself in silence, making Veronica comfortable to

continue.

"He is Rawlf Sy. Sy International CEO."

After a long silence from the other line, Celerina replied that caught Veronica off guard. "You love the man?"

"Mom, I...-"

"You're not sure of it yet?"

"It's not about that mom, it's just that-"

"How about him? Are you sure that he really loves you? I won't judge him or jump to conclusions because our circumstances back then were indeed hard and we left suddenly, but, how are you sure about him?"

Veronica smiled and then told her mother the full story from her misunderstanding to her reconciliation with Rawl last night. Not forgetting to add the content of his talk while she was "sleeping" which made her trust the man even more and to put good words for him on her mother.

Celerina, on the other hand, believes in her daughter's words and already has a good impression about the man. After all, he couldn't be blamed for not knowing about his children with her daughter since their situation was complicated then.

"Do what you think is best not only for you but for the children Vivi. As long as you're not endangering yourself or the children and if it's for your family's happiness, Mom will support you." Veronica wiped the tears in her eyes. Family. Yes, her little family.

"Thank you mom."

After the talk with her mother, Veronica readied herself and went out of her bedroom door. About time for Rawlf to know what he is supposed to know.

Back in Country R, however, the atmosphere was tense.

Celerina, along with Veronica's siblings, were seated around the circular table. Beforehand, Celerina already told her husband, Eddie Wang about their daughter and the twin's father.

Eddie Wang didn't take it as accepting as she did as it was known then that Norverto Yan, the then Governor in City I, the one who was thought to have something to do with their family's destruction was under the said man's protection. However after explaining to her husband that the situation then is different, her husband was critical yet,...has to accept that fact. After all, he was his grandchildren's father and it's unfair for him to remain oblivious of them.

Now, it's up to the man whether to accept her daughter and his grandchildren because anyway, from the beginning, they have always helped and supported Veronica. "Hehe he he's a fool ififif he can't accept mamamy lovely gr gr grandchildrennn!' Eddie Wang said in a stuttering voice. Well, the proof of the gravity of his stroke from five years ago.

Celerina herself knew that despite her husband's strong facade, deep inside he was crumbling after realizing his stuttering speech after the stroke. But for the least, he can speak directly now and she hopes that one day, with advanced medicine and rehabilitation, her husband will regain what he lost.

Back in the tensed atmosphere, it was Edward, who speak first. "So he is that bastard huh, well, sister's standard is formidable."

Edward!" Celerina reprimanded.

"What?, I was just joking. After all, it's quite unbelievable that my sister had been acquainted with the most powerful and influential man in Country P. And even bore him children."

Celerina couldn't help herself but agreed on that though.

Her daughter's standard was indeed, quite...too high ah! She couldn't help but be proud of her own daughter in the process though.

After all, she deserves no one but the best species of man.

"No doubt that my very adorable nephew and niece were geniuses. They got it from their father! And, additional point, their father was the most influential and powerful man. We could use our future brother in law there!" It was Justine who didn't care about the tense atmosphere actually, being the youngest one, Justine still couldn't understand the situation in a broad sense although his scheming sense was showing.

"Justine!!" This time Celerina reprimanded her youngest scheming son.

"That's true", Edcel, the second eldest one, after Veronica finally said something. His voice was laced with great interest. This sister of his proved herself formidable to him once more ah. Imagine bagging the man who has control over the politics and economy of the whole Country P.

Very formidable!

Veronica's three younger brothers nodded in agreement among themselves.

Well, why would they even complicate things for their sister and nephew and niece right?! As long as the man will prove himself useful for them, who are they to say no to such luck?! Celerina's mouth twitched on the other hand. How come that the tensed atmosphere earlier was replaced by a scheming aura emitted from her three sons?

For sure, trouble will come in her future son-in-law's ways.

Looking at her own sons' eyes filled with mischief, Celerina could only hope that the man exceeded her expectations.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
