Chapter 198 - Blackmailed him with the shares... (2/2)

”How could be my father so cruel? He can't be. I can't believe it..” Myra sobbed.

”If this is the truth then why didn't you protect Alex from your father?” Veronica suddenly asked looking at Alonzo.

Alonzo tilted up his face and described, ”I was very small then. If I would say anything then Dad would threat me with Alex's life. So I decided that I have to become big and powerful to protect him. That's why, I started to study very attentively.

Finally I had turned 20, when I found Alex after one year of hard searching. I put him out of the cage and settled him in one of the house I bought before hiring few bodyguards for him. I went to visit him every evening and came to know that he was interested in gaming..

Dad found out about him going missing and confronted me but I blackmailed him with the shares of the company that he had given me when I turned 18 so he stopped for the meantime.

One year later, Dad forced me to go abroad for my higher education but I didn't want to leave Alex alone there because I was sure that after I leave, dad would definitely find about his address..”

As Alonzo stopped again, Reuben continued, ”That's why you faked a boarding pass to country M and opted to stay with your brother for those two years while enrolling your name in city B's best Business University. You took a disguise and started living it off very well.”

Alonzo knew that there was no way of him escaping the topic. So he just closed his eyes to calm his mind of the frustrating yet saddening emotions that he was graving in his heart now..

Veronica who heard everything from both Reuben and Alonzo silently, thought over all the previous occurances in city B.

She became more puzzled ruminating the past as she couldn't able to suppress her queries and asked, ”Then which one of the brothers I had met in city B? Alex or Alonzo?”

Then remembering something, Veronica said, ”It must be Alex because according to your description, Alex fixed in the image perfectly. He was a little abnormal and also loved gaming. It's Alex.. Isn't it?”

Veronica kept looking at Reuben expectantly for the answer, whereas he just sighed deeply and hugged her more tightly to his chest but what he said the next, made everyone specially Veronica more conflicted..

”No Ica.. It's not only Alex whom you had met in city B, because Alonzo also met with you for many times. Am I not right Alonzo?”
