Veronica CEO's Underworld Queen novel Chapter 109

　　"Five years ago, I thought I lost you."

　　"What do you mean?" Veronica asked him softly. Assumptions flooded in her but she forcefully stopped it. She needs to hear him first before making her assumptions.

　　"You just disappeared. Like thin air. You and your family." Veronica heard his regretful tone. He continued,

　　"I know that what we shared is not deep enough for me to claim right away that I have fallen for you after that. But I also couldn't say that I felt nothing. In fact, I was in a rage the morning I woke up and you weren't there. So I asked Secretary Ryan to look for your information and found you in your dorm."

　　Veronica made an "Oh" sound.

　　"Please don't be mad with what I'm about to say. Trust me, that was before I realized that I want you in my life."

　　"Go on." Veronica urged him to continue.

　　She leaned her head on his chest. Of all the confession and heart to heart talk between them, she never imagined it to be with both of them, slowly dancing under the night sky with a soft tune from the violin as the background.

　　"I planned to make you my woman. Veronica, before I met you, women came and went in my life. I know it's not the kind of lifestyle that I could let you or our kids know. But I have to be honest with you right at this moment."

　　"Maybe we should sit first and talk?" Rawlf kissed her on the forehead.

　　"No, I feel this is much better." "Okay then, go on."

　　"I came personally to your dorm that year because I myself could feel that you are different. You could say I was trying to understand why I felt so different with you compared to the women I had in the past. However, instead of talking, we end up doing another thing," Rawlf paused and smirked at her playfully.

　　Veronica rolled her eyes at him although her face and ears are a bit flush.

　　"You were sleeping when my secretary called to remind me of my meeting. That's why I left you alone thinking that I could still talk to you later that night. I seriously regretted that. Regretting

　　that I should have stayed with you until you woke up so we could talk." Rawlf once again paused to kiss the top of her head.

　　"Later that night after my meeting, Secretary Ryan just told me about the issue against your father. I don't know what happened, I just feel the need to help your father, regardless if it's true or not, because all I think about is you. You know what's my second regret? It's leaving you alone without leaving any bodyguards around you to keep you safe. If I only did so , maybe you weren't put in danger. I was scared when I heard you were in an accident. But my influence then wasn't as strong as it is today. So it took me to personally talk to other influential figures then to save your father. I wasn't telling this to you so that you'll be thankful to me. I'm only"

　　"I know. I didn't know then. But for that I am still very grateful." Veronica tightened her arms around the man's waist. She couldn't distinguish the various emotions within yet but she is sure of one thing, her love for the man just grew deeper.
