Chapter 448 - Peaceful life...

It's almost been two months since Reuben and Veronica had returned from their long twenty days of honeymoon..

In these twenty days, they had stayed in Maldives for seven days and then visited a completely different country, Switzerland which was Reuben's favourite to enjoy their second phase of honeymoon.

As Reuben had already promised Veronica, he hadn't left her from bed for even a single second until he was completely satisfied..

In fact, he didn't have any urge to leave their hotel room at all. But his wife's wish to do sight scenes, had made him oblige to her demands.

Without any care of the world, they had roamed around the country like free birds, did lots of shopping for themselves and their dear ones, tried different kinds of street foods and cuisines, involved themselves in different kind of adventures like scuba diving, para gliding and many more interesting things..

But what the couple loved the most was their love making session for those continuous twenty days, without missing even a single chance of having romance..

They would've stayed more days there if not Alonzo, Amelia and Jack, Myra's wedding would have not been at the corner..

After one week of their return, the two couples held a simple yet beautiful wedding in the presence of their family members and friends..

Right now, both Veronica and Reuben were sitting in the living room of Lopez Mansion as her father had urgently called for an important discussion.

Not only them but Andrew and Rose were also present there along with now almost five months old Olivia who was playing with the newly married couple while giggling cheerfully.

Mr. Lopez smiled at the scene and then looked at Rose before saying, "You might be thinking why I've called you at this moment without giving you any kind of specific details… right?

But there is something very important for me to discuss with you which needs both Vero and your presence."

Veronica had a calm face, already aware of her father's plan while Rose held a confused look as she couldn't able to detect anything by looking at her father like uncle's expressions..

"What do you want to discuss, uncle?" Andrew asked the most obvious question which was running in Rose's mind right now.

Mr. Lopez glanced at his daughter and son-in-law for once who gave them an assuring smile and then stared at his wife who too nodded her head in affirmation.

Inhaling a sharp breath, he averted his eyes towards Rose and Andrew and finally disclosed, "Rose.. You've always been a daughter to me. Not only that, you've even handled my company by staying as a shadow for the past few years along with Vero..

Now that, I'm growing old day by day, so I'm thinking of handing over my company to my children and spend some quality time with my beautiful wife just like others did. I've already talked about it Vero and she was the one to support me to the fullest on this wish of mine..

Coming to the point, I've decided to distribute twenty percent of my shares on your name, Rose. Like this, you'll be the third highest shareholders of our company after Vero and Reuben respectively.

Like this, you'd also be able to handle our company without any kind of prohibition from anyone. So I expect you to take the shares as a gift of a father to his daughter. Please accept it, Rose."

Rose was completely baffled for a moment as she kept looking at Mr. Lopez with her eyes wide opened. She couldn't believe that he was taking such a big drastic step..

"But uncle.. This will not be fair for Vero. She's your only daughter and she deserves to-----"

Before she could complete her sentence, Veronica interrupted her in the middle, "Yes, I know that I'm the only child of my parents. And being the only heiress of this big empire, I don't have any problems with my father's decision...

In fact, I'm more than happy that now you'll be managing our company not as a shadow, but as a legal shareholder. Moreover, what will I do with so much money?

I already have my Creation which is already one of the most successful companies of the world. So like dad said, don't deny it. You'll be making all of us happy my accepting this shares.."

Rose gazed at Veronica's smiling face for a while and then looked at her husband to know about his thoughts.

Andrew too stared back at her and nodded his head in assurance.

Exhaling a good amount of breath, Rose looked up and finally said, "Okay, Uncle.. I agree. But you've to promise me one thing that the CEO position will be handled by Vero only."

Mr. Lopez chuckled at her and said, "No problem.."

Reuben smiled, seeing the happy faces of everyone and thought to make the mood lighter by saying, "If all the serious conversations are done, then can we have my mother-in-law's tasty handmade food? I'm already very hungry. Look, even my stomach is growling in response."

Everyone laughed at his antics while Mrs. Lopez said, "Come, Reuben.. Today I've prepared all of your and Andrew's favourite food."

Both Andrew and Reuben squealed at this and the evening was spent with a happy atmosphere by them...

Love-Paradise…

Reuben and Veronica were lying on their bed, completely n.a.k.e.d after a hot love making session.

They were just covered by a single comforter and reminiscing about the past when Veronica suddenly said, "So many things have changed in the past few months…

Your hotel project with Alonzo was a very successful one. Myra and Lucy too opened their much waited restaurant which is running very successfully now...

Each and every friends of ours are now well settled with their respective life partners while Louis is making all the required arrangements to propose Diana. Life is very much peaceful for everyone of us… isn't it?"

Reuben just smiled at her and said, "Yes.. Finally, crossing so many hurdles in our life, we finally are living a peaceful life.."

Veronica turned her face towards Reuben and inched closer to give him a passionate kiss. Their lips were just few inches apart and about to brush with each other when suddenly something so uncertain had happened which none of them had ever expected..
