Chapter 208 - Using Alex as a bet...

But in spite of being confused, Alonzo was more shocked to see both of them here. His eyes widened in puro disbelief when his gaze fell on those two people whom Reuben declared as one of his biggest proofs..

Among one of them was, Alex's doctor who had treated him from his childhood and the other one was more shocking whom Alonzo couldn't believe to be present here ever..

Because he was the ex right hand man of Alonzo's father, Mr. Brown who had also suddenly disappeared after Alex's death five years ago..

"What are they doing here?" Alonzo asked Reuben.

Reuben looked at Alonzo before saying, "Don't you think there are many loopholes between what you and Ica said?? If you don't think so, at least I thought about that..

That's why, I had searched for every information which happened five years ago which resulted me to find these two persons who will be the bridge of every lies and truths.."

Both Alonzo and Veronica stared at Reuben when they also understood that there were really not one but many loopholes between the stories which both of them represented..

"He was your father's right hand man once, Bryce. But do you know why he had disappeared suddenly five years ago?" Reuben enquired Alonzo.

But Alonzo just shook his head in denial and replied, "No… I don't know. I used to see him always with my Dad wherever he went. But he suddenly just vanished like a thin air."

Chuckling at him, Reuben said, "Don't worry. He will explain you everything why he had disappeared from everyone's eyes."

Turning towards Bryce, Reuben ordered in a stiff voice, "Speak everything in details without missing a single thing.."

Bryce nodded and said, "I left your father's side because he had killed my wife and son without any mercy when they heard something which could ruin his reputation or sent him to jail.."

Alonzo was beyond shocked right at that moment. He knew his father was cruel but not so cruel to kill an innocent child along with his mother..

"What are you saying? Speak clearly." Alonzo said angrily.

Sighing Bryce said, "It all started after you had taken Alex out from his clutch. He started to find him crazily and got to know that you're the one who had let him out and helped him to hide. So he went to you for him but you declined him...

Even you had threatened your own father with the shares of your company that if he tried to find Alex anymore then you would sell those shares to his rival company. And the threat indeed worked.."

Everyone was quite and listening to Bryce while Reuben helped Veronica to sit on a chair with him and she placed her head on his shoulder while listening to Bryce's explanation..

"Then what happened?" Neil asked.

Looking at Neil, Bryce continued, "Then after almost one year of searching, he finally found out where Alex lived. But he was more shocked to find out that Alonzo didn't go abroad but stayed in disguise to protect his own twin brother...

So he waited for the perfect chance to come out and kept his eyes on everything which related to both of you brothers. Later he found out that both of the brothers had been playing a game of being the same person to befriend one girl who was Veronica Lopez."

Stopping to take a deep breath in middle and after looking at Alonzo, he continued, "Later he also came to know that you both fell in love with the same girl.. But he was not at all worried about your brother as he was more tensed about you because, you would be the future CEO of his company.

As Miss Veronica also hid her true identity and portrayed herself as a middle class woman, he thought that Ms. Veronica wasn't worthy of being with you. So he decided to make both of you split up, using Alex as a bet of his own plan.."

"Making Alex a bet? What do you mean by that?" Henry asked.

"This was where the story began which was unknown to everyone except me and Mr. Brown himself, as I was the one who had informed him everything about Alex, Alonzo and Miss Veronica. He only once saw Miss Veronica's picture for few seconds. Maybe that's why he was unable to recognise her in your company's party." 

Clearing one doubt on everyone's mind, Bryce finally came to the main story..

---

Five years ago..

The night before Alonzo had to go for his trekking, his father Mr. Brown had started to execute the first step of his plan.

After Alonzo left that day to buy something from the nearby shop for his trekking, Alex was all alone in the whole house...

So Mr. Brown took that exact chance and came to meet Alex at their home. He arrived there with Bryce and two of his other men and one of them knocked on the door.

After few minutes of knocking, Alex's voice got heard by them..

"Who is this?" Alex asked from inside his room.

Then Mr. Brown signed Bryce to say his line which was, "Sir, there is a delivery package on the name of Mr. Alonzo Brown."

"Delivery package?" Alex asked, still from inside, without opening the door.

"Yes, sir.." Bryce said from the other side of the door, faking his voice.

As Alex was not allowed to open the door to any strangers so he was complexed between the two facts that if he should open the door or not...

But what if it was an important delivery for his brother, Alonzo..!!

Yeah, he was about to go for a trekking the next day so he might have ordered something. So he should recieve the package from them..

Deciding it, he shouted back from his room, "Okay, wait for a minute. I'm coming."

A minute later, he finally walked towards the door and opened it wide only to get shocked by the people in front of him..

"Da… Dad??" Alex stuttered.
