Veronica CEO's Underworld Queen

Chapter 131

Rawlf saw Veronica seated at the edge of the bed, obviously waiting for him. He smiled softly at

her when their eyes met.

"Stay still. I'll get you a glass of milk after I change clothes." "I'm not disabled."

"And?" Rawlf softly chuckled walking to the wardrobe. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"What I'm trying to say is… you're spoiling me like a disabled."

Rawlf paused and turned to face her, "Does that how it makes you feel?" "No but,"

"Then it shouldn't be an issue." Rawlf smirked and turned back to take his cloth, however, he

already saw a pair of white tee-shirt and a boxer shorts atop the table beside his wardrobe.

The man laughed softly and took to wear it. Veronica heard his laughing voice and watch him

dress up.

"Seen enough?"

"Does that make you feel uncomfortable?" "No," replied Rawlf. His eyes were dark.

"It's not an issue then." Veronica replied coquettishly, leaning on the bed like an empress watching

her concubine get dressed.

Rawlf just ignored the teasing woman and wore his clothes. After Rawlf finally wore his clothes, he

walked out of their room and sometime later, he brought with him a warm glass of milk.

"Drink this first. And after that, we could talk."

Veronica did so, finishing the milk, so as to reciprocate with his doting effort. Rawlf decided to

return the glass back to the kitchen leaving Veronica alone in the room once again.

"Here I am already agitated to tell him and here he was, acting as usual," she murmured.

After a while, Rawlf returned back to their room and lay on his side of the bed. He stared at

Veronica on the edge before pulling him to lie in his embrace.

"But we need to talk. I have something to tell you."

"I know. We can talk like this." Rawlf kissed the tip of her nose.

Veronica tightened her embrace around him, inhaled his fresh scent, heaved a sigh and started to

talk.

"I don't know if I told you this before but our children were two months premature."

Rawlf listened the entire time and not even let himself ask to break her momentum. He listened

intently and carefully so as not to miss anything.

Veronica's father already hinted to him something that happened when she was seven months

pregnant.

Eddie didn't elaborate much because he still respected and wanted his own daughter to personally

share that story to the man she chose to be with.

Rawlf accepted that decision and now, Veronica finally opened herself to him.

When Veronica was seven months pregnant, she was abducted by someone from the underworld.

That was a shock to Veronica's parents and Uncle Bien because the latter and also them were

tightly secured in the castle. However, one of the new workers at the castle in Country R was actually a

spy of an underworld force who was known to deal with inhumane and immoral things to satisfy their

blood-hungry audiences.

Uncle Bien didn't remember how that force was offended by him that they even abducted his

pregnant niece and if he and Country R's intelligence weren't fast enough, the act against Veronica

while being pregnant was watched by audiences who enjoyed all these kinds of immoral acts to

helpless people.

Intelligence confirmed that those kinds of people are the same people who take part with the

atrocities that could be seen in the Dark Web.

And the underworld force that abducted Veronica was the kind of organization that took this as an

opportunity to earn money by showing the same atrocities that could only be seen and found from the

Dark Web in return for a high sum of money before being confirmed as one of the live audiences.

This experience was quite traumatic for Veronica but for the sake of their children, she recovered

and trained herself under uncle Bien's guidance.

Who would have thought that this training made Veronica find her passion for martial arts and

weaponry. Her Uncle Bien saw her fast learning but didn't actually planned to take Veronica as

an assassin in his force, however, Veronica who was filled with rage and revenge wanted to have

something as an outlet for those negative emotion, at the same time, to show her gratitude with

Country R who help her Uncle Bien to find her.

Being in this circle for almost a year made Veronica connect with a lot of powerful and influential

people in the underworld that it was easy for her to establish her own force sometime later.

His woman, having to forcefully realize that the world is not only filled by colorful pastel but also by

stinking blood underneath, decided to color herself red because that's the basic instinct of a mother to

help and protect her own children.

Although her underworld force does not take part in the atrocities other forces partake in, still, she

is legally accountable because weaponry dealing is illegal.

To start with, being a person of the underworld is already illegal.

"Maybe to some, life is sunshine, rain and rainbows. As for mine, I'm not only painted with red. I'm

already tainted. I want to give our children a safe environment and maybe it was a wrong decision for

me to partake in this kind of environment because I, all the more, made their lives an easy target….if

I'm any weaker. But I'm not. I'm not weak and I don't want to be weak because being one and just a

wrong move from my side may cost their lives and safety. I've heard stories that there are people of the

underworld who decided to turn their backs on it to start a better life? But in the end, the better life they

hope for would end in a tragedy because once you're already tainted with the color of the underworld,

you are marked and there's no turning back. There's no better life. You just have to be stronger to

make sure that those you cared the most would be protected. So Rawlf, if you ask me to give it up, I'm

already telling you, I can't. I don't want to disappoint you but I also don't want to disappoint the people

who were with me when I was weaker."
