Chapter 365 - Internal battle...

Reuben and Tom entered inside the house while Reuben scrutinizing every bit of the architectural design but he didn't miss to see the anxiousness of Lisa...

"Lisa, who was there at the door?" A strong manly voice reached both Reuben and Lisa's ears and both of their expressions changed.

Lisa's nervousness grew ten time bigger whereas Reuben had an ambiguous expression on his face which was really heard to decipher.

When Andrew came down the stairs and entered the living hall where both Reuben was facing his back towards him and Lisa was looking at him with a horrified expression.

Andrew noticed Lisa's unusual behavior and thought that it must be because of the pain that she was suffering from their baby's kick.

"Love, what happened? Are you feeling pain anywhere?" Andrew ran towards his wife and scrutinized him from top to bottom.

He was so busy in confirming that Lisa was okay or not that he completely ignored Reuben who was standing there with a helpless attitude as his eyes were forming tiny teardrops.

Lisa who was trying to calm down an agitated Andrew, huffed angrily and shouted, "Drew, I'm completely fine."

"Then what happened? Why are you looking like this?" Andrew asked as he relaxed.

"My visit has happened.!!!" Reuben muttered in a low voice but not too faint so that Andrew can hear him clearly.

Andrew whose focus was completely on Lisa till then became completely shocked as he heard the familiar voice.

Although the tone of the voice had changed a lot from past few years as it became more heavier and huskier with a s.e.xy manly touch, he still could decipher it..

Andrew looked at Lisa shockingly as if asking if the person he was thinking about, was really there or not.

When Lisa didn't say anything but just kept on looking at him with incredulity in her eyes, Andrew shifted his body a little backside and turned his body slowly after inhaling a deep breath...

Reuben was looking at him hypothetically as he was having a mixed feeling after seeing the person who was dead to all of their family members and friends, was standing there in one piece without any harm or cut on his body…completely undamaged and most of all….ALIVE..

Andrew too was momentarily stupefied as he also didn't expect Reuben to be present there. He had thought of Reuben finding him after a few weeks when he will himself start to give hints and about his existence.

But his younger brother had really grown up to be really exceptional and powerful..!!

Andrew had hidden his information about coming back to city S very well with complete security or at least he tried his best to do so..

However he had miserably failed as twenty two years old Reuben had changed drastically in his twenty eight years self in these past six years of his big brother's disappearance.

He not only became the top business of the world but also ruled the whole underworld with his amazing leadership on the people of Secret 7.

So how could Andrew escape from the clutch of Reuben when this one armed man was determined to find out about his brother!!

"Reu…Reuben!!" Andrew whispered almost in an inaudible voice but enough to reach Reuben's ears.

Tom who was watching the silent emotional transaction between the brother thought to leave his boss there to give the family some privacy and waited outside of the house.

"Yes, brother! It's me your brother Reuben whom you've forgotten in all this years along with your family and other friends." Reuben said through gritted teeth.

A whirlpool of emotions started rolling in his heart and his head started to throb with all the emotional exhaustion that he was experiencing right now.

Andrew was shattered when he heard the distant voice of his brother. It was first time in his life to experience his brother's rude comment.

But he couldn't also blame him after all, what he had done with them was completely wrong and hurtful.

"No Reuben! Don't say like that.. I can't never forget you and others. You guys are my life and always will be. You don't know how much I missed you all. Each and everyday I had thought of you guys crazily..", Andrew said in a shaky voice as he took few step towards Reuben.

Reuben threw him an angry glare and moved back far from him so that Andrew wasn't able to touch him.

He was beyond angry, shocked, happy but mostly disheartened..!!!

Happy because he finally found his brother and disheartened because Andrew hid himself from them intentionally for all these years.

Reuben mockingly laughed at him and stated sarcastically, "Really? Good excuse, Mr. Andrew Jones. However I'm not here to listen to your stupid excuses. I didn't come here to befriend you again. I'm here because of my love.."

Andrew was really hurt with Reuben's words. He never had thought in his life that the brother who would always tag behind him wherever he'd have gone, would behave show distant towards him..

And now the same brother wasn't even ready to look at him in eyes. He hated him so much..

"You haven't come here for me? Then what's the reason for your arrival here?" Andrew asked trying very hard to not break down.

Reuben too was denying his internal battle to not let his tears out of his eyes as he said, "As I told you, I've come here for my love. I want to give my Ica the best present for the engagement which is obviously you…"

Andrew gulped hard and asked, "Reuben, can't you at least talk to me properly like a normal person?"

"The only reason of my visit here is Ica. And I have long forgotten that I had a brother named Andrew in my life so there would be no chance of us being normal like before." Reuben curtly replied which panged Andrew's heart like a gunshot while Lisa just rubbed his arm to console him.

"What do you want me to do then?"
