"Because of him, I had to torture my whole family. I even locked Alex up in one of my farm house. But one day, when they grew up, Alonzo found his brother and then…"
As Mr. Brown paused, Veronica asked, "Then what?"
Sarcastically chuckling at himself, he replied, "Truthfully, I was very much happy that my eldest son Alonzo could protect his twins now. But my happiness was short-lived as my only dream got broken too and it transformed into a nightmare...
Frank found out about it and he forced me to find Alex from anywhere possible. I was helpless with it but still tried my best to delay the search mission...
In the meantime, I came to know about Veronica. As a father and my past experience, I too didn't want Alonzo to be with a middle class girl. So I helped Frank in creating misunderstandings between the twins and her....
However, I never expected Frank to give me an ultimatum to kill my younger son Alex in the expense of saving my other family members. I had no other choice but forcing my son to intake those sleeping pills.."
At the end of it, he collapsed on the floor and started wailing like a mad man.
Mrs. Brown too broke into tears along with Myra and Alonzo..
It was not them only but each and every single person in the room had tears in their eyes.
The sudden turn of events had really shocked them to the core. The person whom they had blamed for their whole life was not the actual villain here.
The negative character had suddenly turned out to be partially positive!!
The main villain of the story was now a victim of a well planned strategy!!
"I...I can't believe it. It's beyond my imagination." Willa said.
"Me too.." Lucinda too whispered in a low voice.
Mrs. Brown collected herself properly and went towards her husband. She kneeled in front of him and cupped his face in her hands.
"I always knew that somewhere in your heart you love me and our children very much though you don't show it on your face directly...
But I never had guessed that you had to go through so much pain in the past few years. You had to take all the burden on your shoulders alone to protect us...
I really empathy you because of this. But the final result of your sacrifice was too much to take. I can't accept that. If you were in trouble, then you should have informed us. I know it's not that much easy but still it wouldn't have wasted so many lives together.." Mrs. Brown said looking at her husband with love filled eyes.
Then those loving eyes suddenly turned into fierce ones as she got up from there and walked towards the REUNIC couple..
Reuben and Veronica looked at her confusedly but it soon got cleared when they heard the next words from her which fell on Mr. Brown like a thunderbolt.
"Willingly or unwillingly, he killed my son. I don't care if it was forced or not. Even he was blackmailed to do so, he should have risk his own life to save Alex. But he didn't do that...
Instead he chose the latter option and murdered my son which was nothing less than courting a death warrant. As Veronica was also a victim of his plans, I want both of you to give him his required punishment...
It doesn't matter to me if he's dead or not. I just want my innocent son to get justice. From now on, I'm a widow of the Brown family. So he's all yours to punish and torture.." Mrs. Brown's chilled voice left everyone in shock.
But Mr. Brown didn't even feel a little bit of angry on her. He knew whatever he did was extremely wrong and he deserved to be hated by his family.
Reuben and Veronica shared a glance before looking at Myra and Alonzo to find any kind of hesitations and denial in their eyes but they found none..
So getting the positive response, Reuben said, "Don't worry. My men will take care of him. But now we have to focus on only one person and that is Frank.."
"Yes.. I request you to find out the details about the person who is the root of all of our miseries...
I want him to rot in hell. Will you please do this favour for me?" Mrs. Brown pleaded to Reuben and Veronica, holding their hands.
Veronica kept her palm on Mrs. Brown's hand and promised her, "We are taking an oath today to find out the real culprit Frank. He not only did wrong to you but Diana also. He deserved the worst punishment."
She then turned towards Mr. Brown and asked with a sharp glare, "Where is Frank? Tell us."
"I.. I don't know anything about him. He just ordered me via some private number which had no tresses to find him." Mr. Brown said while stuttering.
"Don't tell lie. How could it be possible that you were working for him for all these years but you don't have any clue about him! Isn't this surreal?" Veronica mocked him with arched eyebrows.
"He's right, Ica.. Frank hadn't left any tress about him." Reuben replied to her.
Veronica now became puzzled on this piece of news and she asked him quizzically, "Then how are we going to get him under our grasp? We need to track him first to give him the retribution of his ugly sins."
Reuben just smirked at her and exclaimed in a wicked voice, "Why don't we ask Lisa about him?"
"What!! Lisa!! But how would she know about him? I know that they belong from the same country but it'd be impossible for her to have any idea about Frank.." Veronica said exasperatedly.
Not wanting to beat around the bush, Reuben suggested Veronica, "Babe .. I think it'd be really best if Lisa would give you an answer about this."
Veronica was about to argue with Reuben again when Lisa's next words kept her rooted there..
"Frank Howard is my father.."
