Veronica: CEO's Underworld Queen

Feeling light and content, that's how Veronica woke up. She took her moment to savor this sense of feeling blessed and heaved a deep sighed of relief.

After a while, she then opened her eyes as realization dawned on her that her little family, the cubs and Rawlf weren't on the bed with her.

Veronica furrowed. 'Where are they?' She asked in cofusion with a hoarse voice. Assuming that they might be downstairs, she languidly walked out of the bed to the bathroom and washed her face. After a while, Veronica walked and turn to take her robe hanging inside the walk in closet and cover herself with it then, she walked out of the room.

Veronica was descending the stair when she saw the butler passing below. 'Good morning Butler Ro, where's Rawlf and the cubs--- I mean the kids?'

Seeing the young mistress from the stairs,the good butler bowed his head. 'Good morning, young mistress. The young master and the kids were on the pond at the backyard. I can bring you there.'

'No, it's okey. I'll go.'

'If that's the case, I'll be leaving then to have the breakfast prepared.'

Veronica nodded her head as response. Bu once again called out the butler after remembering another thing.

'May I ask for a vegetable soup for breakfast. The kids love it.'

'The youngmaster already asked for it earlier, young mistresses. I am about to ask Chef Boris for it.'

'That's good. Thank you, good butler Ro.' Veronica offered a kind smile towards the butler which made the butler bowed his head even lower with deep piety. 'The future Sy Madame is the most gracious.' The butler thought, and the question to confirm the kids' identity was lifted off his mind for a second.

'You'll save me any way daddy.' These words from Baelfire Veronica managed to overheard stopped her from her track. 'No doubt.' And Rawlf's answer made her suddenly emotional and lost in her good feelings. Her family... Her man... Their cubs. Veronica closed her eyes tasting the delicious emotions surging through her at this exchange from her son and her man. Rawlf is a good father, no doubt. And now, she's feeling guilty that she even doubted the man with his capability of not just being a good man to her, but also with being a devoted father towards their cub.

An uncontrollable emotion for Rawlf rushed through Veronica's veins. She felt her longing for her. She felt wanting to be lost in his arms. And as if these foreign emotion seemed intolerable, Veronica turned to walk and improved her pace.

The sound of her quick walking alerted the three person in the pond. Seeing who was it, the twins sudeenly called their mother's name in joy and both, in their stubby feet ran directly to meet her.

However, for the second time, Rawlf was quick and managed to lift both the cubs in his arms and delivered them safely to their mother's embrace. Although, it's not really that way because the twins were still held by Rawlf and only their upper body and stubby arms were on their mother.

'Baelfire, Baelfair, I have told you not to slam on your mother directly, yesterday, remember?' Rawlf stern yet soft voice reprimanded the twins. Although he could understand the cubs action but their rushing, he's afraid, might be too much for Veronica's body to handle absolutely forgetting the fact he himself witnessed of how lethal she was the last time she was 'kidnapped'.

Baelfair giggled but wriggled her body trying to break away from his father's embrace. In a powdery voice she said, 'Daaaad, Beyfigh want mommeh!'

'It's okey, give her to me.' Veronica turned to looked at Rawlf, her burning passion for him was still there but for the moment, as a mother, she has to cater with their children.

Yes, she's a woman first before being a mother but after you became one, your priority tends to naturally course to, a mother first before being a woman. Veronica hoped that this also applies to all the mothers out there.

'But...Fair is quite....' Veronica heard Rawlf said carelessly yet stopped himself after realizing what he's about to say might offend their daughter. She chuckled.

Baelfair on the other hand pouted after understanding what their father was about to imply that even made Baelifire harrumph in amus.e.m.e.nt, to Baelfair's annoyance. 'Daddeh!! Ah u cawing Beyfey phatt?' The chubby little girl asked in a spoilt tone as she and her duck face turned to look at her father, eyebrows knitted.

'Ah?!' Rawlf was quick to act innocent.

'Daddeh??!' Baelfire insisted.

Veronica giggled. Baelfire, in contentment with their father's embrace let go of Veronica while watching his little twin sister with sparkling amus.e.m.e.nt in his eyes.

'Princess, daddy was just about to say that you, Baelfire is smelling so good and daddy for the meantime would want to have you all for himself.' Rawlf replied affectionately and ruffled his daughter's hair gently.

'Werlly?!' Baelfire confirmed and seeing their father nodded sincerely which also because what he said was undeniably another truth turned to looked at her twin brother smugly.

Baelfire on the other hand just shrugged it off, not wanting to engage himself with another rivaly with this scheming twin sister of his.

In the end, the twins just kissed their mother a goodmorning yet remained in their father's embrace.

'What were you doing?' Veronica asked her little family after a while.

'Feeding the koi fishes!!! Mammeh! They ah so cute! Beyfey wanted to take them outta watah and kisst them but Beyfigh said they'll die! Beyfey asked daddeh why and he said becoz......' Bailfair paused to catch her breath from her seemed to be although no longer surprising unceasing chatter then continued, 'becoz they evoved (evolved) bwidthing (breathing) swaktcheh (structure) code (called) gills instead of wungs (lungs)!!

A mixture of proud and fond expression danced through Rawlf's face after witnessing another moment that proved the innate genius in his children. He only said it once earlier without even paying much attention because as a genius himself, and without realizing it, his explanation were technical and too scienific for three years old children and yet, here is his daughter, making him realize how she absorbed information too quick like a sponge and despite of her still childlike pronouciation, was able to reexplain the knowledge completely.

Baelfair was still explaning while the rest, Rawlf, Veronica and Baelfire turned silent, listening to her. The couple decided to sit on the wooden pavilion which Veronica finds to comfortable and a perfect place to relax,to have tea or to read altogether.

After Baelfair had her fair share of early morning talk, she then went out of her father's embrace to jump around and play. Seeing his twin sister enjoying, Baelfire also followed suit.

When left alone, Veronica turned to Rawlf and cupped his face on her both arms. 'Goodmorning.' She greeted belatedly and kissed him on the lips with no reservation.

Rawlf caught off guard was suddenly lost after tasting his woman's soft lips and deepened the kiss for another minute before realizing that their children was just around them. Veronica who also realized this controlled her emotion and just savor their passion with each other snuggled her back on Rawlf's broad c.h.e.s.t.

'I think it will be perfect if we eat our breakfast here.' Veronica then said.

'I think so too. I'll call the butler.' Rawlf replied, extreme fondness laced his voice.

Good thing that the cubs were busy enjoying and playing with each other that they weren't able to witnessed their parents shared a steamy kissed together. Or so the couple thought.

Both the twins were able to catch a glimpse of their parents kissed but turned to look away instantly. After all, they are their parents and nothing will ever make the children happy more than seeing them in love with each other. It only means that now, they will have a complete family.

'I hope we'll have a little brother soon. I want it to look like mommy this time.' Baelfair suddenly said.

Baelfire once again was lost in thought before replying.

'A brother? Won't you want we'll have a little sister that looks like mommy?' Baelfire tested.

Baelfair's face turned ugly. 'No! I am already enough. A little brother that look exactly like mommy is perfect.'

'I guess I'll agree...., one you is already enough.' Baelfire replied with a certain agreement thinking that another chattery girl in the family would add to the noise and chaos his little twin sister is capable of making.
