Veronica CEO's Underworld Queen novel Chapter 15

  "You see Fire!? I was right, righ?!" Fair's bubbly and happy voice is ironically the exact opposite of her sinister and evil eyes. Contrary to everyone's knowledge, Fair has another hidden genius character in her, her "two-facedness".

  And with her being a blabbermouth and bubbly character would make it hard for anyone to believe that deeply hidden , she's a scheming young girl, except to Baelfire as they are twins and are very close.

  "Thanks. Now instead of reprimanding me for hacking our suspected father's company system, Mom instead spent time consoling us. I felt guilty though." Fire replied in monotone.

  "Hmm, Fair felt guilty too! But I don't like that man. He's hideous and I know very well that his intention with mother was never pure. Unfortunately for him, he's just scheming, while Fair's a genius." Baelfair said in a straight manner. She will only show her mature side to her twin brother but not to her grandparents and especially to her mother as she feared that she might stop 'babying' her if she finds out that she's equally genius with her brother, but in a different way.

  Fire rolled his eyes at her sister. "Right, it takes one to know one."

  "Of course not, I'm a genius. I repeat, I'm a genius!" Fair insisted haughtily. "Whatever."

  Both looked into each other's eyes as the door of their room opened and appeared their very beautiful and devoted mother.

  "Oh my sweeties. Mother brought you snacks and toys from Country P!"

  Both children, despite being self-proclaimed but somehow truthful geniuses, were joyful hearing their mother's words. Their eyes lit up. After all, they were still kids. Just advanced. Very advanced for that matter. Veronica came to Fire's bed where both children were sitting and they looked like they were talking about a very serious matter. "Oh how cute."

  Veronica gushed about them. Wait... she's missing something. "Oh yes, the hacking." Veronica looked at the excited Fire in front of her and couldn't bear to reprimand him about it as he and her sister just experienced being terrorized by an irrelevant person. Maybe she'll talk to him tonight during their bedtime stories.

  A week quickly passed by and Veronica started to relax since her force in Country P so far has become stable.

  She considered not to return anymore and let her subordinates handle the force until Zero just contacted her last night that another problem was being faced by them. And once again, she's inside her private jet together with her hand picked 'bodyguard', Nieve.

  Within her one week stay in Country R, she settled her little feud with her mother Celerina making the latter also realized to no longer intervene with her romance aspect. Aside from that, the pest Victor was punished by her Uncle Bien after he heard that he dared reprimand his beloved grandchildren. "How dare he!". She could still recall her Uncle Bien's very angry voice that roared inside his office after she told him what happened. That pest Victor aside from the punishment her Uncle Bien had given him was also 'grounded' by his father for a month. "Hm, I just hope that that pest is the only one scheming to chase me. The consequence will be worse if the right hand, Victorino, was the mastermind of it all." Veronica thought. An evil glint appeared on Veronica's eyes.

  At the same time, she had spent time with her father, who, despite his own slight disability , had looked much more youthful than just his actual age of sixty-three. Maybe because he, for the past four years, finally had time to relax and wasn't anymore stressed over politics just like when he was still the vice-governor in Province I.

  Veronica also got the chance to talk with Fire being out of control with his hacking playtime. He promised her that he wouldn't do it once again but with her guilt, she gave them no explanation about their suspected father. She knows that she's being unfair to them but after all, there's no need to explain about it.

  She and their father had no relationship with each other when they were conceived. It's a sad reality that her twins were born not out of love but of just casual sex.

  Veronica shook her head thinking about the man whom, after years, she still felt great attraction to. She rationalized it with the fact that maybe because he was the one who took her virginity and was so far the first and the only man who she had sex with. With her very busy time with her twins and her training, she never got the chance to find a good man to romance.

  "Can he still at least remember me?" Veronica murmured as she fell asleep.
