Chapter 373 - I was forced to do so...

Reuben then looked towards the door and called out for the person, "Please come inside, Lisa.."

Soon Lisa entered the room, holding her huge baby bump which made not only Veronica but everyone who were present in the room confused.

Reuben smiled at Lisa and made her sit on the couch comfortably.

Lisa too smiled back at him and greeted everyone, "Hi, guys.."

"Hey Lisa.. But may I know what are you doing here?" Willa asked hesitatingly.

Veronica too wanted to know about the reason of Lisa being here as she couldn't find any importance of her presence for now.

Reuben shared a glance with Lisa as they made a affirmative nod to each other.

While coming here, Reuben had already spoken with Andrew and Lisa that there was something big to reveal today which might concern Lisa indirectly.

He also asked them if it'd be comfortable for Lisa to face a big mystery reveal as she was in the last trimester of her pregnancy..

Andrew was thinking hard to come into a decision at first but Lisa immediately agreed that she could handle everything.

She also made sure that Andrew would agree with her decision too. And of course, Andrew got melted with her sweet talks instantly.

"So now that everyone is here, we should start describing everything to these two men in front of us." Reuben stated.

He then sat beside Veronica again and encircled his arm around her shoulder before saying, "My Ica was the one who had studied with Alex who was also Alonzo's brother and whom you had hidden from the world as if he was some criminal...

Ica had some of her personal issues, that's why she chose to behave like a normal girl. She met Alex and befriended him. Later Alonzo came into the picture and started liking her...

But you being a shitty businessman, thought that it'd be shame to your so called family name if Alonzo date a middle class girl and it would not bring any profit to your business too."

"What do you mean? Alex was friend with Veronica whereas my other son Alonzo was in love with her?" Mrs. Brown was beyond shock after hearing all of these new things.

Veronica who sitting idly in Reuben's embrace said, "Yes. Though I had no idea about Alex and Alonzo being two different person. They literally betrayed me by making me know that both brothers were the same person…

I never knew about Alonzo's existence till a month or two ago. But the biggest game plot was planned by your dear husband who created a big misunderstanding between all of us."

Thereafter, Veronica conveyed the whole story to Mrs. Brown with the help of Reuben and sometimes Alonzo too speaking with them, but they purposefully omitted the part of Alex's death as it was something trivial to discuss..

Mrs. Brown couldn't believe her ears as she looked at her husband with a shocked expression.

She didn't say anything but just kept quiet to register everything in her mind...

Meanwhile, Reuben took the chance to enquire Mike as he asked him, "So...Mike What is your relationship with Rachel?"

"What!! Mike has a relationship with Rachel?" Diana asked in bewilderment.

"Let Mike and Rachel say it on their own." Veronica said as she eyed Rachel who was literally shivering in fear.

Mike quickly shook his head in a form of denial and replied, "We are not in a relationship. We never were."

"Then how both of you are related?" Lucinda asked, glaring at him.

Mike gulped in fear before stuttering, "I met Rachel on behalf of Mr. Brown. He needed some work to be done with Rachel do I just helped him in it.."

"Here I'm going to stop you Mike. You've said enough though it was the truth. But before you disclose everything, we have one more important thing to notify Mrs. Brown." Reuben stopped Mike from talking more.

He then stared at Mrs. Brown who was now far better than before after Myra assuring her.

"Mrs. Brown, I know you're still in your shocking state. But we have something more important to tell you which might be a big bombshell for you.." Reuben said and Mrs. Brown nodded at him to let him continue.

Mr. Brown was already going through a storm but he had a strong instinct that they might not find about the actual truth..

But who he was joking to?

It was not someone else but the scary bosses of the biggest underworld group 'Secret 7'..

Nothing could stay hidden from their eyes..

"You may have thought that the death of your younger son Alex was just a suicide…right? But it's not. It was a well planned murdered and the murderer is your husband himself." Reuben said with anger building up in his eyes..

Mrs. Brown's eyes snapped towards him in a quick movement and she gave them an unbelievable expression as she said, "No… you guys are telling lie.. That can't ever happen. My husband can't kill his own son. Never!!"

"It's the truth Mom. Your husband really had killed my brother." Alonzo said with tears in his eyes.

"You are lying. All of you're lying. This can't be possible at all."

She then walked towards her husband and hold his hands before asking with tearful eyes, "Tell them that you've done nothing wrong. I know that you could not kill our son."

Mr. Brown had bowed his head in shame as an acceptance of his deeds while Mrs. Brown just steeled at the moment.

Then she suddenly started hitting him while shouting, "You bastard! How could you! How could you kill your own son!"

Mr. Brown too burst into his tears as he took all the beating of his raging wife and said while sobbing hard, "Trust me. I never wanted to kill him but I was forced to do so.."

"What do you mean? Who forced you to do so?" This time, Alonzo snapped his head towards his father.

"It was Frank Howard..."
