"Because Alex is no more. He had left the world five years ago…"
*gasp*
Loud gasps could be heard from each and every corner of the room as the girls stared at Reuben with widened eyes whereas the boys had a confused looks on their faces as they didn't know that a twist like this would be suddenly presented in front of them..
On the other hand, Alonzo was the most shocked person among everyone. He was unable to think how had Reuben come to know about this when he had personally hid this matter very securely..
The room was quite silent for almost five minutes as none could understand what was actually happening..
Veronica had also kept mum and her face was all scrunched up as if she still couldn't process the whole thing. When finally everything knocked into her mind, she decided to break the eerie silence..
