The Unknown Billionaire

Chapter 13

That day, after Vere and James had their conversation at the office, he quickly headed home to the mansion where his wife, Mira, awaited his return. Upon arriving at the mansion, Vere made his way straight to the living room, where Mira and Vere's mother were engrossed in watching television.

"Are you ready, Mira?" Vere asked.

Mira looked up, a hint of surprise in her eyes, and responded,

"Oh, Vere, you're back so soon?" Vere nodded and smiled, keeping his tone casual.

He didn't want to let them know what was going on that James had shared some sensitive information with him, especially with his mother present.

"Yeah, James and I just had a quick conversation at the office," Vere replied, choosing his words carefully. Mira, sensing that something might be amiss, decided to play along.

 "Oh, alright then, wait and I have to prepare myself," she said, with her excited tone to see her parents. While Vere waited for Mira, he took the opportunity to speak with his mother.

"Mom, Mira, and I are going to visit her parents. We'll be back again soon," Vere informed his mother. His mother smiled warmly and replied, "Alright, son. Take care of yourselves. You two are always so busy, making the most of every second."

During the conversation between mother and son, Mira emerged, and was ready to go. "Darling, we're all set let's go," Mira said, giving Vere's mother a gentle kiss on the cheek.

Vere followed suit, kissing his mother on the cheek and sharing a warm hug.

“Take care, mom, and we are going to see you again in a couple of days”, Vere said with a smile on his face.

As they exchanged their goodbyes, the couple made their way to the waiting car. Accompanying them were their bodyguards, following them in another car. As they drove off, their journey to visit Mira's parents began.

Finally, they arrived at Mr. and Mrs. Fuentez's house Miras Parents was hours of journey were overjoyed to see their children once again, and they wasted no time in preparing a small dinner party to celebrate their reunion. Laughter and chatter filled the air as they gathered around the dinner table, relishing their time together.

As the evening unfolded and they got into discussions about the events of the past year, the conversation shifted to Mr. Perry, a topic Vere had been hesitant to broach. However, he knew it was vital to share what he had learned with Mira's family and that is for awareness.

"We all need to be cautious because Mr. Perry poses a potential threat," Vere finally revealed.

Mr. Fuentez furrowed his brow, puzzled.

"Why did you say that and are you sure about this?" he asked.

As Vere continued, " James told me everything about the investigations going on and we had a conversation about this, and he shared some information with me this morning at my office.”

 “There are rumors that Mr. Perry has intentions of taking over your company. It's what my investigation has been pointing toward as well. From now on we should all be on our guard." Vere said.

 At that moment the room fell into an uncomfortable silence as Vere's words hung in the air. Everyone was taken aback by this revelation.

Vere continued, "And I have good news I bought a company recently of Mr. Jones who is my former boss, who was now involved in a shocking incident. He's suspected of being responsible for the murder of my ex-girlfriend, Janet."

Gasps filled the room as the gravity of the situation sank in. The once joyous evening had taken a chilling turn, and they all realized that they were now entangled in a web of danger and intrigue.

The family exchanged worried glances, knowing that they needed to navigate these treacherous waters together. The dinner party had transformed into a meeting of survival, and their unity and determination would be their greatest assets in the days to come.

From that on the family starts to worry as they start to discuss their strategies for dealing with the impending threat posed by Mr. Perry, Vere's phone suddenly rings. Vere excused himself, rising from his seat and moving away from the living room to avoid interrupting the family's conversation.

Vere took his phone out of his pocket and answered saw a call from James and he answered.

"James, what's the news?" Vere inquired; his voice tinged with concern.

James hesitated before delivering the unsettling update. "Well, Mr. Vere, I have more news about Mr. Jones, that he has been released from prison, and it seems Mr. Perry played a role in securing his release."

A collective gasp of disbelief filled the living room as Vere relayed the shocking information to his family. The day had taken a dark turn, with one unsettling revelation after another regarding Mr. Perry's actions.

Mrs. Fuentez spoke up, her voice trembling with worry. "This is getting worse by the minute. What are we going to do now?

Vere clenched his jaw, his determination solidifying in the face of adversity. "We need to stay vigilant. We must do whatever we can as Mr. Perry is now like a monster because of his threats. It's clear that Mr. Perry is a formidable adversary, but we won't let him win. We'll find a way to protect our family and our company."

The room fell into a heavy silence as they absorbed the gravity of the situation. With Mr. Perry's influence extending even to the release of a dangerous individual like Mr. Jones, they understood that they were facing a cunning and powerful foe. Their resolve to overcome these challenges only grew stronger, setting the stage for a battle they were determined not to lose.

As the evening winding down, the other relatives of Mr. and Mrs. Fuentez bid their farewells and departed for their own homes. Vere and Mira went to their room, so Mr. Mrs. Fuentez, Vere and Mira lay side by side, the weight of the evening's revelations heavy on their minds. Vere turned to Mira; his expression resolute.

"Mira, I've been thinking to pursue justice for Janet's death." Mira nodded in agreement, her eyes reflecting a mix of determination and concern.

"I agree, Vere. Janet deserves justice, and her family deserves closure and she's been good for the last time when I'm the danger she saves me.” “I have forgiven her a long time ago,” Vere added. 

As they discussed their plan to seek justice for Janet, Vere couldn't help but reveal his concerns about Mr. Perry's involvement.

"But, Mira, here's the thing. Mr. Perry seems to have a hand in freeing Mr. Jones. It's as if they're joining forces, they are both the same evils." Mira's eyes widened with worry. "Joining forces? That makes my love even more complicated. What can we do against such powerful adversaries?"

 Vere squeezed Mira's hand reassuringly. " I don't care and I'm not afraid to face anything as long as I'm doing my best.” We may not have Mr. Perry's influence, but we have something they don't – the truth and the determination to see justice served. We'll work tirelessly to gather evidence and expose the truth about Janet's murder."

 Mira offered a determined smile. "You're right, Vere. We'll do whatever it takes to bring them to justice, for Janet and for all the innocent people who could be harmed by their actions."

With their resolve strengthened, Vere and Mira knew they were embarking on a challenging journey. The quest for justice would not be easy, but their commitment to the truth and their unwavering love for each other would serve as their guiding lights in the darkness that lay ahead.
