Chapter 189 - Identity and Family Issues...

Secret 7..

The three friends were now sitting in the base of Secret 7, discussing about the upcoming meet up.

Reuben had told them about his own plan that he insisted Veronica for it, but he skipped the part regarding the truth he was trying to dig out about Alonzo Brown and his family..

"So we all have to come at Fusion for the meeting this weekend?" Henry asked.

"Yes.. You all have to as I'll not be there to take care of my Ica. And I know the things which are going to reveal, will not help Ica to be calm anymore." Reuben said.

"What exactly are you planning, Reuben? Why suddenly you had told Vero to call that idiot Alonzo to meet with us and that even in your absence?" Neil asked getting irritated even at the thought of meeting that Alonzo Brown.

"Uh huh.. Wrong words, my bro. I'll not be absent for the whole evening there but I'll come later after collecting the proofs which will differ the truth that my Ica had been know till now or the truth that we are expecting to be.

Till then, you both have to protect your sister Vero on the behalf of me.." Reuben told about one part of his plan to his two best friends.

"You don't have to worry about that in anyway. Because I'll not let anyone harm my sister.

Vero's safety will always be on the top most in our priority list.." Henry assured Reuben but still he gritted his teeth, thinking about Alonzo.

"I know that.. And I'm not tensed about Ica's physical safety or pain, because Alonzo would never harm her physically or should I say, he would rather dare not to do such a thing.

However I'm more frightened over the mental pain, he could give to Ica.."; Reuben said with a sigh.

Neil just played with a crystal ball before saying, "Reuben.. I'm sure if you are talking about mental harm then there must be something really big. So I want to know exactly what is it that is forcing you to protect Veronica so much?

And we all know that our Vero is both a strong hearted and willful minded woman and she never had succomed to such kind of issues which would affect her mentally."

Reuben looked at his childhood friend and pursed his lips before narrating the whole story to them, "Though I am not sure about it but I have a big hunch about it. So to get the proofs of my doubts, I'm going to meet someone who would tell me about the truth.. However, what I'm afraid about the most is that, Alonzo is…"

Few minutes later, Reuben had finished describing his all suspicions and sat there idle with a blank face, waiting for Neil and Henry's response..

Whereas both Neil and Henry had an indescribable expression on their faces. Both were completely shocked after hearing Reuben's assumptions because if it was really going to be true then it would be really a big deal which would not only devastate Veronica emotionally, but would make her belief that she lived those six months in City B under the manipulation of Brown Family's or rather specially Alonzo's lies..

They still couldn't believe that such a thing could even happen in this real world. If all this was gonna be the truth, then Veronica was living for all those years under the cover of the biggest deception...

Alex or Alonzo had just made their sister a puppet of complete lies which had no forgiveness..

Henry clenched his jaw and punched the chair in front of him before roaring out furiously, "That bastard..!! How could he? He just played with Vero's feelings. Veronica had thought him as a friend and he in return betrayed her about all his identity and family issues.."

Neil who was calm till now patted his shoulder before putting out his thoughts, "He not only lied about his own self but manipulated our Vero with his falsity.

Moreover now even he is blaming our sister as a betrayer. He really had gone overboard. I'm going to break his bones and feed him to the stray dogs.."

Reuben was no less anger than them. Even though he was boiling from inside his mind and heart, out of rage but he had to control himself for his Ica's sake...

He would not let any other people to decieve his beloved girlfriend like this anymore..

"Guys.. I know that you all are very much angry and furious.. and trust ne, I'm no lesser than you. But we have to also keep it in our mind that the sole decision of Alonzo's punishment would be in the hand of Ica. As she was the sole victim of all his lies and falsification. We can protect her but can't overrule her decisions regarding that bastard."

Both Neil and Henry nodded their heads as an affirmation to Reuben's statement..

Alonzo's Apartment…

Alonzo just came back from his office with a smile on his face which Myra thought of quite unexpected.

"Why are you so much happy today brother? Did something good happen?" Myra asked.

"Myra, you have to come with me at Fusion this Saturday night.." Alonzo informed his sister, keeping his office bag on the sofa and drinking water that his sister had fetched for him.

"Oh.!! That's why you are so happy because you could meet Vero.. However, I know about that bro." Myra replied without showing any oblivion towards the news.

"How did you know?" Alonzo asked, confusion written on his face clearly.

Face-palming herself, Myra sighed and said, "Uff Brother.. Did you forget that I'm friends with both Vero and Lucy and even with Willa? So Vero called me in the afternoon and informed me about the get together.

You know what I'm very much excited that I'll be going to meet more people and become friends with them."

Alonzo just nodded his head and said, "That's the thing. Fine then. You just serve the food. I'll be here in a minute after getting a little bit fresh.."

"Okay.." Myra replied before setting the table
