Veronica CEO's Underworld Queen novel Chapter 124

　　Country R.

　　Rawlf dropped the call from Ric and raised his head to look at his father sitting in front of him.

　　"She hurt one of my employees. Cursed my mother. And above all, was the mastermind of that ambush and if Veronica wasn't with mom that time, she must have already exploded in pieces. Now father, give me a good reason why I mustn't deal with that woman of yours?"

　　The old master Sy was silent for a while then said, "Deal with her. However you want it."

　　"That easy? After all, you have spent time and old feelings with that woman." Rawlf said in a mocking tone.

　　Robert Sy didn't reply and moved to walk away. Rawlf sighed lightly and turned his head to his father's back.

　　"What if I'll deal with her life. And that son of yours."

　　"You're my only son." Robert Sy said in a low voice and walked away without looking back.

　　After his father left, Rawlf dialed Dmitri's number. Cold and ruthless, that's his nature and this nature could only be blocked whenever he's with his beloved woman, their children and their family. But to those people who dare to hurt them, they'll soon know that being called cold and ruthless isn't just all for a show.

　　"Long overdue."

　　Rawlf said in a lower tone.

　　The week passed quickly for Rawlf and Veronica but within that week, the couple prepared a good arrangement to strengthen the security for the twins and their family before returning back to Country P.

　　The night before their departure, the couple decided to sleep with the twins in their room.

　　Veronica wasn't sure until when they would be able to settle old scores from the enemies lurking around but before she could fully investigate the matter, she must first secure the twins so she can rest easy.

　　As of currently, the family of four were laying on the King size bed, the cubs sandwiched in between their parents. Fire is beside Rawlf while Fair's beside Veronica.

　　"You and daddeh must come and get me and Fire as soon as possible mammeh, you pwomised (promised)!" Baelfair said while being inside her mother's embrace.

　　Veronica touched Baelfair's hair, moved her head to smell her powdery cheek and left a soft kiss on it.

　　"Mom and Dad will fetch you and Fire as soon as possible. Mom," she turned her gaze to Rawlf, "and Dad, promise."

　　"How long will you and daddy be gone, mom?" The usually silent Fire asked. Veronica looked at Rawlf, quietly telling him to explain.

　　Rawlf patted Fire's hair.

　　"This is just your first vacation here. When mom and dad settled everything in Country P, we will fetch you and we will soon settle there forever. No more separation."

　　Rawlf said dotingly. Despite that he acts to be more doting with Fair since she's a girl but Rawlf always believed that small boys also need to be cared for by a father.

　　He was separated from them since they were little and wasn't able to witness how they grew and Rawlf promised to himself that he would cherish them both, equally.

　　It's also true that boys need to be taught how to be strong and independent while they're young for them to grow stronger but Rawlf understood that young boys also need love and care from both parents growing up.

　　He is raising a son with his beloved woman, not just some heir to his throne in Sy International and his underworld force.

　　To raise a competitive son is good but he wouldn't make it to the point of him being a power hungry devil that could even exchange and trampled down his own family for it.

　　He wanted to instill this lesson to his children for it to be passed on to the next generation in order to protect and secure his and Veronica's bloodline.

　　Yes, he is a ruthless and cold-blooded man but those do not apply to his family, above all else, to his woman and their children.

　　"And we all shall live happily eveh(ever) afteh (after), wight (right) daddeh?!"

　　Baelfair giggled saying this

　　"Dad and Mom will work happily ever after, princess." Rawlf replied, stroking his little's princess' blondish soft hair.

　　"Alright children, mom and dad will be leaving tomorrow so we shall rest early now okay?" Veronica sat up to fix the duvet and covered the twins' bodies.

　　Afterwards, she kissed both children's forehead gently and lay down on her side facing them. Rawlf did the same and soon, the twins' breathing even out, signaling they're both fast asleep. After a while, Rawlf speak in a low voice,

　　"I don't want to force you but when we are back in Country P, I need to hear straight from you what happened years ago, to you, while being pregnant. Father didn't divulge it fully when we talked, he only gave me hints of it and left the rest for you to tell me yourself. I have respected your privacy and didn't investigate it because I don't want to come off as a control freak", Rawlf paused to caress her hair softly,

　　"Veronica, I know you have always been a free woman and I do not want you to feel any less of it just because you're bonded with me. In fact, I wanted you to fearlessly soar high, as high as you wanted to reach knowing that you have me watching you, protecting you. You don't have to worry about any other matters, I will always be there to catch you. I only want your trust and honesty."

　　Veronica reached to him and caressed his face. Rawlf let her do it for sometime before clasping her soft hand and directly gazed at her. Veronica gazed back conveying her thoughts. Finally, Veronica gave in and replied,

　　"Hmm."

　　"Thank you. I love you." "And I you."

　　That night, when the parents closed their eyes, the twins who were 'fast asleep', simultaneously opened their eyes and looked at each other.

　　Maybe if it's just ordinary four years old children, they wouldn't be able to understand the situation. But these children are true geniuses. And they were able to grasp the concept of what their parents were talking about.

　　Just simple,

　　"There were bad guys after their family and they, in their small ways, must also do something to help their parents fight with the bad guys.
