Chapter 182 - Deep Turmoil...

Alonzo's apartment…

Alonzo was busy in his own thoughts or more like planning few things in his mind about Veronica and Reuben's matter when his phone suddenly rang. He checked it and saw that it was none other than his long time best friend, Cole Parker..

"Hey bro.. What's up?" Alonzo asked a little bit cheerfully than other time.

"Woah.!! Am I hearing Alonzo's voice? If I am really listening to my best buddy Alonzo, then what happened to the cold guy suddenly?" Cole asked from the other side.

A smile set on his face when Alonzo heard Cole and he replied, "Nothing much dude. It's just that I finally got the courage to get my love back to me."

"What do you mean? Who is your love? Hey.!! You are not talking about the girl from years ago.. right?" Cole asked.

As Cole was Alonzo's best friend so without his family members, he also knew about Veronica though none of them knew about her identity or never had seen her..

"Yes. I'm talking about her only. Do you want to know who is she?" Alonzo said.

Cole was now really agitated to know about the girl as he asked in excitement, "Yes.. Tell me who is the girl?"

"She is Veronica Lopez.. heiress of Lopez Industries.. And daughter of James and Jessica Lopez." Alonzo replied dreamily, thinking about her.

Cole sat rooted in his chair when he heard that the girl Alonzo had loved for years, was none other the one and only Goddess Veronica Lopez who was very much famous among the high society people, specially among boys for her natural beauty and aristocracy like aura.

Her nobility and beguiling beauty was something just to be praised by everyone..

Anyone could be tantalized in a second for this striking enchantress..

But then something clicked on his mind and enquired, "Wait.. If she was the Veronica Lopez you are taking about.. Then how can she be a gold digger who ran away from you for money? I mean she already has enough money to spend like water.."

"She is not a gold digger which we thought. The letter was all a misunderstanding between us." Alonzo gritted his teeth and then explained everything to him.

Cole was listening to him while surfing through the business news when his eyes caught something and he started to read the complete tabloids patiently..

"Now what is that? Veronica Lopez and Reuben Smith are in a relationship? What kind of joke is this? Aren't they always some enemies?" Cole asked thinking that the news was nothing but fake, created by some lousy people..

On the other hand, Alonzo sighed sadly and his fingers clenched into a tight fist as he said, "It's not a joke. It's all true, Cole. They are really dating for almost five years and I've seen that from my own eyes, how close they are to each other."

"What the hell do you mean? Then why are you not angry?" Cole asked getting perplexed about the whole situation.

Sighing deeply, Alonzo said, "Yes I was angry at first but now I have decided that I'll not back off anymore. I'll tell you everything when you'll come here."

Finally Cole remembered for what he had been called and said, "Alonzo actually there is a little change in my plans."

"What is it?" Alonzo asked with his arched eyebrows.

"Actually Regina would be also coming with me. I tried till my best level to stop her but dad ordered me to bring her and now I have no other choice.." Cole said with a sigh.

"Shit..!!" Alonzo was already in a deep turmoil to think over a plan about how to keep his love away from his love rival.

Now another twist entered in his life and that bitch was coming here to destroy everything by making him crazy with her nonsensical behavior..

Love-Paradise..

It was already next day when the couple had to meet their parents at Paradise Hotel. As today was Saturday so the couple woke up very late from their slumber and had a late brunch together..

Thereafter, they both went for an afternoon walk in their beautiful garden and spent some alone romantic time with each other by walking bare foot on the soft grasses with their hands intertwined together..

They would also not forget to give each other small feather like kisses in between of their lovely walk.

"The weather is so good nah, Bennie?" Veronica asked slightly hugging Reuben's arm sidewise.

Reuben stared at her with a smile on his face and muttered in a soft voice, "Everything is beautiful when you are with me, love.."

Immediately, Veronica turned her face towards her dear boyfriend and gave him a big smile with a sparkling eyes..

"You really know how to make my mood all good with yours sweet talks, nah?" Veronica asked as she hit his arm playfully.

Chuckling at her, Reuben kissed her over her hair and said, "I'm not sweet talking honey.. It's one of the biggest truth of my life.."

Veronica didn't reply anything to him, just gave him a peck on his cheek as they both continued their walking..

When they were finally done with their cute romance, they entered their room to get ready for today's dinner party which were more like a boosting party for their parents..

Veronica was already done with her hair, dress and makeup. The only thing that was remaining, was to just add some lipstick on her luscious lips and put the earrings and shoes..

While she was wearing her earrings, Reuben came out of the washroom with only a towel around his hip. His hairs were wet after the bath and water were dripping from his hot chiseled chest.

He was looking damn s.e.xy..

Veronica saw him and drooled over his muscular hot body which had been noticed by Reuben very well. So how could he miss such a good chance to tease her??

Reuben walked towards her and back hugged her from behind and whispered in her ears in a husky yet very much seductive voice, "Babe.. you know right that we have enough time for a quickie.. So if you want to drool over me then do it on my s.e.xy body, which you were ogling like a hawk from the time I had come outside after having a bath.."
