Chapter 212 - Kill Two Birds With One Stone...

"This..This??" Alex looked up at his father and stuttered.

"Yes. This will be the outcome if you don't listen to me. The gun that the man was holding in his hand, will be shoot right at that moment you'll disagree with me and the bullet will directly pierce through that girl's brain, making her dead forever.." Mr. Brown said.

Alex broke in tears again and said in between his hiccups, "Fi.. Fine.. I'll do whatever you want me to do. I'll agree to your every commands.. But you have to promise me that you would not harm Vero.."

"Okay.. I promise that only if you execute the plan accordingly then I'll not even lift my finger on her." Alex's father promised before leaving with his men while the nurse stayed there...

----

After few hours, Alonzo also came back home and found Alex locked in his room.. So he called for him and when Alex opened the door and returned back to his room without greeting Alonzo... 

Feeling weird, Alonzo also followed him and sat beside him. Few minutes later Alex stopped crying and said about meeting Veronica as he also informed Alonzo that Veronica has said something to him..

"Vero.. she confessed her feelings to me or more like her feelings towards you. She told me that she loves you.. I mean she thought that you and me are same and confessed her love for you.." Alex lied with a fake smile on his face.

Alonzo was unsure about this but when Alex later explained everything to him, he became very happy about the fact that Veronica loved him back, forgetting to ask about the reason Alex was crying for...

Alex saw the elated expression on Alonzo's face and felt more guilty inside his heart for lying which was not less than committing a big crime according to him.. Then the twins had a peaceful dinner and both went to sleep...

The nurse saw that Alex had worked according to Mr. Brown's plan and called Bryce for further details.

But when she heard about the next step she had to take, she became horrified, "No sir.. I can't do that.. It's impossible."

"You have to do this. Otherwise I'll kill your daughter's family." Mr. Brown threatened through Bryce's phone.

Getting scared, the nurse agreed and when everyone had already slept, she slowly walked towards Alex's room and woke him up.

Alex was confused to see her in his room so late at night so he asked her, "What are you doing here?"

The nurse was shuddering in nervousness as she sat beside him and said, "I'm here with Mr. Brown's next order. He had told me to give this to you."

She then handed him a paper, a pen and a bottle full of sleeping pills..

Alex saw it and made a confused face when the nurse started to speak again, "Mr. Brown had told you to eat this sleeping pills all together and write a suicide note to your brother.."

"Sui.. suicide note?" Alex stammered again with a terrified expression..

The nurse nodded and said, "Yes.. You have to write whatever I'm going to say.."

"I.. I don't want to do this.. I'll not do it.." Alex denied shaking his head like a madman.

Seeing him like this, the nurse broke into tears because she never thought that she had to force someone to commit suicide...

She pleaded, "I know sir, what I'm doing is absolutely wrong. But I don't have any other escape route as your father had threatened me with my family...

Moreover he also told me to inform you that your father's men are still keeping an eye on that girl. If you don't digest the sleeping pills then he would kill her along with you and your brother Alonzo."

Alex's mind filled with horror and tears again formed in his already red puffy eyes. He looked at the paper and pen and became determined with his next and maybe the last decision of his life...

"Tell me what I have to write." Alex stated between sobs, trying to control the heartache he was feeling.

The nurse looked at him pitifully before reciting,

"Dear Alonzo,

I know that you love me very much and I love you too. Whatever I'm writing in this letter, will express my feelings to you…

I know that you love Veronica very much but truthfully I also started loving her from the day I met her first time, without my knowledge. But I suppressed my feelings because of you and tried to move over her... 

But yesterday when Vero told me about her love towards you, I couldn't take it more.. So I decided to end my life.

It's not anyone's fault.. Neither yours, nor mine.. It's the fault of just the time being.."

Alex wrote it and gulped down the sleeping pills at once with quivering hands. 

The nurse saw him doing so and left from there crying and informed Bryce hiccuping in between, "Sur.. He.. He.. had gulped those pills and.. and also wrote.. the let.. letter.."

"Okay.. Good..." Bryce said before telling the news to his Boss.

Mr. Porter Brown laughed maniacally and said, "Wow..!! I hit the nails.. It feels so good to 'Kill Two Birds With One Stone'.. Well done.. Hahahaha..."

----

On the other side after the nurse left, Alex locked the door and picked up the pen and paper again..

The pills already started to affect in his body. But still with the last strength which was left in his body, he added few things on the letter…

"Don't mourn over me because of my death and promise me one thing..

Promise me that you are going to win Vero's heart. I want both of you to live as a couple and stay happily for the rest of your life.. This will be my last wish to you..

With love,

Your twin Alex.."

As soon as he wrote his last wish on the letter, he fell on the bed while breathing heavily...

Slowly the swallow of the air in his lungs become smaller and few minutes later, he took his last breath before muttering only three words, "Stay well Alonzo.."

Finally, his eyes closed and the living soul inside him left his body for eternity and flew towards the door of heaven..
