Chapter 204 - Hungry Tigress...

Henry was breathing heavily in anger with his fist clenched in a tight ball as the aftermath of his hard punch to Alonzo...

Yes, Henry had punched Alonzo really hard when he finished explaining about the twins matter. He wanted to kill him from the first time when he came to know about the partial truth at Secret 7 by Reuben..

Reuben had informed him and Neil that he had a doubt that Alonzo and Alex would be different person or more like twins but he still wanted to confirm it before jumping into any kind of conclusion.

That's why, today he had gone to meet two person who could tell him all the truth about the Brown family.. And as expectantly, both of the person had revealed everything to him..

"You bastard! How could you play with our sister's feelings like that?" Henry shouted angrily.

Neil immediately ran to him and hold Henry's hand who was about to land another punch on Alonzo's face.

He then muttered to Henry, "Relax Henry, Don't get angry. Let us listen to him first. I know that it's not still the end of his story.."

Though Neil was more angrier than Henry but he stopped himself from beating him up when he saw Reuben was standing there silently without any expression on his face as he just kept holding Veronica who had a blank expression on her face.

Being friends with Reuben from childhood, he was very much certain that there must be something more there, for which Reuben was still keeping calm.

Otherwise, till then Alonzo would be beaten up to a pulp by Reuben and he would be lying on the floor covered with bruises and cuts all over his body..

So he just waited for Reuben to take action first then he would show what was the exact result of trying to hurt someone close to them specially when it was Veronica herself who was everyone's apple of the eyes..

"Bro.. How could you do that? Even you have never told me that I have another brother alongside you whose name is Alex. Why brother? Why? Why did you hid all these things from me? Not only you, but our whole family even Mom and grandma also kept all these a secret from me." Myra sobbed badly while hitting Alonzo on his back.

Alonzo was unable to say anything as he was reminiscing about his dear brother Alex. He still hadn't told them about him completely like what had happened after that.

He knew that he told them about the next part, then there would be another hysteric atmosphere here..

Reuben saw that everyone was blaming Alonzo right now but the person who had to be the first person to shout on him was completely silent...

He nudged to Veronica and muttered in her ear in a very low voice, "Ica.. Baby.. Please say something. You can't be silent all day."

Veronica tilted her face up to look at him and when Reuben finally nodded his head to assure her that she could say anything she wanted to, she meekly smiled at him with a glimpse of sadness in her eyes...

Turning her face towards Alonzo, Veronica asked, "Alonzo? I just want to ask one question to you.. Why did you play with me like some toys who can be easily thrown out of anyone's life after its usage is done?"

"I believed that Alex.. No Alonzo.. No shit.. I don't know whom to say friends when both of you brothers just treated me like a  chess piece of some games? You both brothers are really heartless who just play with a girl's emotions who treated them as a sincere friends. You guys are really horrible. More disgusting than Mike himself.." Veronica spat out angrily.

"No.. No.. My brother was innocent. No one could be as pure as him from the heart. Don't say bad things about him." Alonzo retorted back.

Veronica laughed out loud at this and mocked, "Yeah.. he was too much innocent that he could acted along with you of being the same guy.. Woah..!! I just had been fooled by both of you badly.. huh??

By the way if we're now talking about your so called twins Alex then where is he? I want to meet him now. I want to ask him a question that how could he betray me like this? I always helped him and protected him from the evils but what did he do in return? He also acted like a hypocrite who stab their own friends behind their backs.."

"Please Vero. Don't accuse Alex for what he hadn't done. He was obliged to the situation then. He just listened..." 

Before Alonzo could finish, Veronica cut him in mid sentence as she asked through her gritted teeth with anger painted in her eyes, "I said.. Where is Alex right now? Bring. Him. Here." 

Rage was clearly visible in Veronica's eyes and everyone shuddered seeing the anger which was illuminating from her..

Everyone knew that angry Veronica was nothing less than a hungry tigress..

Myra and Alonzo were both shocked as they never had imagined to witness this version of the always sweet girl, Veronica Lopez..

Few minutes later, everyone came out if shock when Reuben snapped, "Ica had asked you something, Alonzo... So answer her.."

"Yes bro. Where is Alex? I want to meet him too." Myra also asked, still crying while Lucinda patted her back.

Alonzo just stood there lifelessly before he bowed down his head and tears started to fall out from his eyes as he muttered in a very low voice, "He can't be here. Alex can't ever come in front of you anymore.."

"And why is this?" Veronica enquired, internally feeling that something was extremely wrong.

Even after few minutes of her queries, Alonzo didn't reply which mad Veronica more frustrated for not getting any answer back...

Noticing that Veronica was losing her patience and Alonzo was still not ready to spill out the truth, Reuben revealed in a steady voice...

"Because Alex is no more. He had left the world five years ago…"
