Chapter 174 - Smash Alonzo's big empire...

Love-Paradise...

Reuben and Veronica entered their home in silence but as soon as Veronica saw the comfy couch in the living room, she plopped herself on it and released a deep breath..

Reuben saw her tired face but later chuckled when he saw her already dozing off.

Walking towards her, he kissed her forehead and said, "Love, I know that you are tired but at least freshen up a little first. I'll make dinner for us and take it to our room. Then you can sleep as much as you want.."

Veronica opened her eyes lazily and smiled at Reuben before pouting, "I don't want to eat. I just wanna sleep."

Reuben knew that she was not gonna agree like this, so he just picked her up in his arms and walked towards their bedroom.

He took her to the washroom and opened the shower before adjusting its temperature as he said, "Now, take a quick bath. I'm going downstairs.."

Veronica nodded like a kid and started to unbutton her dress as Reuben smiled at her before leaving for the kitchen to cook something delicious while shaking his head..

Alonzo's Apartment…

Myra was cooking dinner in the kitchen while humming one of her favorite song as she was very much happy that she and Lucinda both had already talked about the investment thing for the restaurant and sorted it out without any problem..

They had met in the evening of the same day at a restaurant and also talked with a famous interior designer suggested by Veronica.

As Veronica could not meet them because she was busy with her meeting with few not so important people and Willa was also busy with her, Myra and Lucinda discussed all the matter with the interior designer alone..

Though they did not know that the meeting was not only attended by Veronica and Willa but also Neil, Reuben and Henry were also show their presence there but they still thought, it must be quite very important otherwise neither Veronica nor Willa would miss to help their friends... 

However what they were not certain about was, they were not in a meeting with some supreme clients but some idiot bastards who were the sole reason of Willa's heartbreak in secret 7..

Although they didn't mind when Veronica declined their offer to come, they still fixed everything with the interior designer according to their preferences..

Now Myra had just finished her cooking and decided to call her brother to have his dinner.

But now she was most worried about the matter related to Alonzo's behavior..

She was completely confused seeing Alonzo in the apartment for the whole day without talking anything. He hadn't gone to his office today and spent his while day in his study room alone..

Moreover he even had not talked with her from the last night after he came back home from a meeting with his client in Fusion..

He seemed to be very low in his mood so Myra thought that it must be the meeting did not go well to Alonzo's expectations and that's why her brother's mood was not so good.

So she left him at his own way because she knew her brother never got decieved in anything and always got what he wanted. And right now, he needed some privacy to calm his mind so that he could found a perfect solution of his all trouble..

She knocked on the study room of Alonzo where he had caged himself from this morning. But she didn't get any response from him even after few seconds so she knocked once more.

Again there was no response...

So she very slowly yet steadily opened the door and entered the study room while walking in her tip toes. There she found him sitting on his chair, looking outside the window emotionlessly without any concentration in his work or any worry about the world...

Walking towards her brother, she waved her hand in front of his eyes but still his focus did not get intervened from outside scenery. 

That's why she tried to shake him a little to make him come out of his daze and right to her expectations, Alonzo finally got broken from his trance and looked at her in a questioning gaze as if trying to ask, 'Why are you here?'

Myra understood his facial expression clearly as she was brought up with Alonzo as she told him, "Brother. The dinner is ready. Let's go to eat now, otherwise it will turn cold.."

"What? It's already dinner time?" Alonzo looked at the time in his phone and found out that, it was really too much late.

He was so much disturbed in his mind from last night, after knowing the truth about Veronica and Reuben that he didn't notice that the time had already passed so much and it was now already night time..

"Yes bro. Now freshen up a little bit and come  for dinner. Till then I'll serve the food." Myra said before walking out of the study room.

Alonzo nodded his head and went out to his room for a refreshing bath. The whole day he was busy thinking about Veronica and Reuben.

How Veronica kissed Reuben in front of him…

How they kept hugging each other, holding their hands tightly together without any worrirs...

Their sweet smile on their faces when they stared at each other..

Theleir gaze to each other was filled with so much love that he couldn't help but just envy Reuben..

It was paining him very much when he saw the love of his life in another man's arms. And that too Reuben Smith who could smash Alonzo's big empire in a blink or twitch of his eyes..

At first, Alonzo was very much confident about the fact that whoever the person would be Veronica's boyfriend, he would easily fight with him and let him leave from Veronica's life..

He was very much sure about the certainty that no man would be more powerful than him to snatch his Veronica from him…
