Veronica CEO's Underworld Queen

Chapter 41

Rawlf just entered Veronica's hotel suite when he heard a muffled cry from the said woman. Rawlf

was quick to move and entered the bedroom of the suite. There he saw Veronica whimpering and

crying in her sleep.

"Noooooo! Not my bab-"

"Veronica, hey! Veronica!" Rawlf straightly went to the bed and called to wake her up. Veronica

was still crying in her sleep and just as she was about to unconsciously protect her stomach, Rawlf also

moved to shake her gently. "Veronica, babe Veronica, wake up now! Veronica!"

A loud gasp was then heard coming from the woman. Sweat trickled from her forehead as she

wiped the tears streaming on her face.

"Babe, what hap-"

Rawlf did not manage to finish as Veronica suddenly cried in his chest. Although all these things

were new to him and he wasn't used to comforting women before actually he never has, but

out of his instinct, he gently pulled the crying woman in his embrace.

"Sshhh.. I'm here." He soothed her as he gently caressed her back while lightly kissing the top of

her head.

Veronica continued to cry as she tightened her embrace around Rawlf. Rawlf on the other hand

was still gently tapping and caressing her back while from time to time, would lightly kiss either her

forehead or the top of her head.

After a while, Veronica ceased from sobbing and just turned silent as she realized the mess she

created.

What the hell! Her remembering to the point of even having it as a bad dream of that incident from

that year made her lose herself the instant she woke up!

She was so good at maintaining her strong facade towards her family despite that that event was

something she will never ever forget but the unique scent of Rawlf the instant she woke up from that

bad dream made her emotionally unstable and all the pent emotions over the years just poured out of

her through crying.

That her, from five years ago, was just another helpless woman.

If not for her uncle Bien's strong connection with Country R's government, that made it easy for

them to locate her, until now, she was still afraid of the possibility of what could have happened to her

and her twins that time.

Her uncle Bien was another leader of an underworld force but was supported by Country R as the

force was the exclusive one to handle the underground business of the said government.

Country R is considered to be another world power and it's not surprising that the international

community and media would of course, watch for its every little movement. That's the reason why

starting from the first President of its current republic, her uncle Bien's force was solely the underworld

force tapped by Country R's government to do its of course, underworld deeds, say for example,

assasination of certain political or civil figures that the government considered as a hindrance on its

goals and this largely help with its own stability. After all, her uncle Bien's underworld force was

inherited through their long history of training martial artists to protect and preserve their own family of

royalty.

As the world modernized, eventually, when her uncle Bien took over, he established another group

division solely for the purpose of assasination and later, became in demand as the assassins were

highly skilled.

That group grew stronger over the years and became a feared underworld entity not only in

Country R but all over the world due to its lethal assassins.

That event from five years ago also was the trigger point why Veronica became determined to

learn how to fight and use guns to protect and defend herself and those she treasured in life.

Eventually that determination turned into some kind of addiction that Veronica became too

passionate about and within the span of just a year, she has quickly evolved from a naïve, innocent

woman into a deadly and highly skilled assassin herself.

Veronica's awareness was brought back by a damp towel on her arms.

She didn't realize that Rawlf had already moved and laid her back on the bed as he probably went

inside the bathroom.

He was gently wiping her body like the last time and due to emotional exhaustion, Veronica herself

has no energy left to move a muscle and just let the man be.

After he made sure he wiped her clean, he returned back to the bathroom and after a while, when

he went out, instead of going beside her, he went for her wardrobe.

Veronica leisurely looked at the man as he carefully went over her sleepwear! But panic came

through her when he moved to her undergarments just then she remembered that he had done this last

time as well!

Although blushing, Veronica braved her heart and pretended like it's also normal for her.

Both of them started to live together for just a few days and yet, here they are, acting like a couple

married for many years.

Rawlf returned with her clothes in his hand. "Let's get you to change", his voice was soft like water.

"I'll change in the bathroom," Veronica said, her cheeks tinged red.

I'll carry you there", understanding that Veronica was not in the right state to be teased, Rawlf

complied right away.

Veronica shakes her head after realizing how much of a dependent she had become around the

man and somehow, an indescribable kind of fear crept in her heart. "It's okay I can

manage."

Rawlf sensing the sudden distant voice from the woman was taken back. He has not reacted even

when Veronica already moved out of the bed. Rawlf recovered just when he heard the bathroom's door

closed.

After contemplating what to do next, he approached the bathroom and knocked on the door. "I

brought something for dinner.Head for the kitchenette after you finish."

"Sure", Veronica replied.

"I also brought spaghetti. Would like to see you eat it with rice."

He heard Veronica giggled. Just then, the dark clouds appearing on the man's head cleared up

right away. He was about to move but halted after hearing the woman's sweet voice.

"Okay Thank you Rawlf."

Without replying, he continued to walk out but with a happy and contented smile on his lips. After

he was out of the bedroom, that happy and contented smile vanished.

Veronica's bad dream is not simple. It doesn' t take anyone to be a genius to realize that an adult

woman crying and having a bad dream has no direct psychological reason.

Despite the promise he made to her, he can't be patient now if it concerns her health and safety. A

sharp look appeared in his eyes. About time to call his dormant forces.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
