The Unknown Billionaire

Chapter 12

Days turn into months. The situation is getting better and there were no imminent threats from Mr. Perry. So, Vere and Mira began to feel a sense of relief. With the tension somewhat eased, Vere and Mira plan the trip and their decision to visit their parents.

On that day, the married couple was busy preparing for their departure from the mansion. And they decided to take four security personnel with them on their trip, including Detective Lee. Although the situation had calmed down, but still had to assure their safety.

"Mira, are you ready?" Vere inquired; his wife engrossed in her primping.

 "Yes, I'm done. Let's go," Mira replied, a sense of determination in her voice.

As Vere and Mira stepped out of the mansion, their waiting vehicle, a sleek black car, was parked right at the entrance. Their four bodyguards, including Detective Lee, were already on standby. The couple got into the car, ready for their journey to the airport.

Vere's private plane was waiting, and they boarded without delay. It took five hours of flight, after five hours in the air, finally they reached their destination and the plane touched down at Birmingham Airport.

They embarked on the plane and headed to their car that was waiting to pick them up, and Vere and Mira headed straight for Vere's mansion, where his mother resided. The mansion was just a thirty-minute drive from the airport. Finally, after the short journey, they arrived. As Vere stepped out of the car, they were warmly greeted by the household staff. They made their way to the living room where Vere's mother was engrossed in watching television.

 "Mom, surprise! We're home!" Vere exclaimed, a joyful smile on his face as he surprised his mother. Because of overwhelmed with emotion, she couldn't hold back her tears upon seeing Vere and Mira.

"Oh, my dear!" she exclaimed, and embraced her son and daughter-in-law tightly. "I really missed you both so much. It's such a pleasant surprise."

 Mira smiled warmly, feeling the love and warmth of Vere's family. "We've missed you too, Mom. It's good to be back miss this place too." Vere's mother wiped her tears away and invited them to sit.

"Tell me, how have you both been? And what brings you here it's been a while?" Vere settled into a comfortable chair, and Mira joined him.

"Well, Mom," Vere began, "it's been quite a rollercoaster lately because of my work and business trips that I am taking cared off, but we wanted to come and visit, spend some quality time with you, and make sure you're doing well and finally we made it and were here."

His mother nodded, appreciating the sentiment.

"I'm so glad you're both here. I could use some company and a good distraction from the news."

They spent the evening catching up on family stories and sharing anecdotes from their lives. Vere and Mira recounted their recent experiences and adventures, being careful not to delve into the lingering issues with Mr. Perry. And that night after they had their dinner cherishing this reunion that had been long overdue. The mansion, once filled with a sense of emptiness, was now alive with the warmth of family together.

 

As they continued their conversation, Vere's mother couldn't help but ask when they planned to have grandchildren with Mira. The couple exchanged glances and simultaneously replied to Vere's mother.

 "Mom, we will plan for that soon, maybe after a year. for now, me and Mira have decided we're enjoying our life as a couple, spending quality time together, just the two of us," Vere explained.

Vere's mother responded, "Oh, I get it, my child and I am happy to hear that," with a smile on her face. She said, her eyes gleaming, "I am excited, and I can't wait to see my grandchildren."

 “Yes, Mom, the moment will come when we'll have a child with us and you'll be delighted when we visit”, Vere reassured her.

 Mira sat there, listening with a smile as Vere and his mother shared this heartfelt conversation. After their pleasant and joyful talk, they bid farewell and made their way to their respective rooms to rest and prepare for the night.

The following morning, as the sun painted the sky with hues of gold, Vere and Mira sat together, enjoying a cheerful breakfast with Vere's mother. However, their morning tranquility was interrupted by a call from James, Vere's trusted colleague. As Vere continued to savor his meal, he couldn't ignore the urgency of the call and decided to answer.

"Hello, James," Vere greeted.

"Hello, Mr. Vere. Good morning," James responded. "Regarding Sir Jones's company, I've finally managed to settle everything. You now own that company," he added with a tone of accomplishment.

"Good job, well done, James," Vere praised him.

"Mr. Vere, you need to come to the office; it's urgent. We have some things you need to know, and to discuss I have some papers to show you," James explained.

"Okay, James, I'll be there after breakfast," Vere replied before ending the call.

"Is there anything wrong, son?" Vere's mother inquired; concern etched on her face.

"No, Mom, it's just some urgent matters at the company, as usual. Can handle it; I'm used to these kinds of situations it's not surprising me anymore," Vere reassured her with a smile.

"You're right, Mom," Mira chimed in. "Vere is excellent at handling company issues, and I'm so proud of him as his wife."

The conversation took on a lighter tone, and they continued their breakfast with warmth and laughter. Afterward, Vere prepared to head to the office.

"Honey, after you finish at the office, we'll visit my parents, as you suggested," Mira said to Vere.

 "Sure, my love," Vere replied, his eyes filled with affection.

They exchanged loving glances before Vere bid farewell to Mira and his mother, ready to tackle the challenges of the day.

As he left for the office, Vere looked forward to resolving the urgent matters at hand, knowing that he had both the support of his family and the skills to manage whatever came his way.

The service has stopped at the main entrance of the building that he owns. As Vere stepped out of the car, as he approached the entrance of the building, he was greeted with warm smiles and hellos from the employees. He made his way directly to his office.

"Good morning, James," Vere greeted him as he walked in. " Good Morning. Vere," James replied.

They exchanged pleasantries before getting down to business. One by one, James presented various documents, and they discussed the company's status.

Towards the end of their meeting, James shared some intriguing news he had uncovered about Mr. and Mrs. Fuentez, Mira's parents. It seemed that Mr. Perry was interested in acquiring something related to their company.

"This is a tangled mess, James. Mr. Perry's involvement is worrying, especially when it comes to Mira's parents. We need to ensure their safety” Vere said.

James nodded in agreement. "I'm one step ahead, sir. I've already increased security around their residence, and I'm in contact with local law enforcement. We won't let anything happen to them."

 And lastly, James broke the news about Mr. Jones, the wealthy benefactor of Vere's beloved girlfriend, Janet. He had been embroiled in a murder case related to Janet's former girlfriend. It was a shocking revelation that left Vere both surprised and concerned.

Vere sighed, running his hand through his hair. "You're right, James. We can't afford to underestimate any of this. We need to gather all the information we can and act swiftly."

As they continued their conversation, Vere's determination to protect his loved ones grew stronger. He knew he was facing a formidable challenge, but he was equally resolved to face it head-on. The web of mysteries had tightened around him, but Vere was ready to unravel it and bring those responsible to justice, no matter where the truth led.
