A minute later, he finally walked towards the door and opened it wide only to get shocked by the people in front of him..

"Da… Dad??" Alex stuttered.

"Hey son. Won't you welcome your father in your house?" Mr. Brown asked with a crook smile on his face, slightly peeking through the door..

Before Alex could answer anything, he was pushed aside by the men as they entered the house following Mr. Brown.

Alex got afraid after seeing his father at the doorstep of his house. He knew that if his father had come suddenly to his home in the absence of his brother Alonzo, then it was not any good omen...

He knew that something bad was going to happen soon and the cause would be none other than their own father.

Still getting scared, he entered the house and locked the door with his shaking hands. Beads of sweats started to produce on his forehead, making his nervousness get noticed by Mr. Brown..

Mr. Porter Brown sat on the chair with a smirk on his face and continued looking at his son Alex from head to toe, whom he had never loved. His eyes literally glaring at him with an evil glint which got missed by Alex as he was bowing down his head to play with his fingers out of fright..

"Son, why don't you sit here? Let's have some father son talk." Porter said.

Alex looked up from his fingers and sat on the chair opposite to his father silently as he asked, " Wha.. what do you want to talk about, Dad?"

Smirking at him, Mr. Brown leaned over a little before muttering, "I want you to be the scapegoat of my plan.."

Alex's eyes got widened when he heard his father to say that word as he shuddered in fear before asking again, "What do… you mean, Dad?"

"Well, I don't mean anything. As I'm your father and have raised you for so many years so I thought why don't I get my payback from you now?" Porter Brown said with an evil smile on his face.

"But da… Dad.. You never had cared for me in the past years and it was my brother who.. who had look after me from the moment, he got me out of your cage." Alex said stuttering.

Mr. Porter Brown smiled wickedly and said, "Yeah. You're right that your brother took care of you after threatening me with my company but what he didn't know was that I'm not any kind of simple person to just get threatened by a little boy like Alonzo who is supposedly my son also..

So I just came here to show what is my exact power in city B and what is the result of going against me.."

Alex gulped nervously when he heard his father spitting threatening words to him. So he just prayed to God inside his heart to keep him and his brother safe from this dangerous man's hand.

No one knew Mr. Porter Brown better than Alex because he was the one who had stayed as a prey of his father's fury, almost for his whole life. The amount of torture and beatings he had gone through, had still left a deep scar in his mind..

After getting a little bit of courage from his prayer, Alex asked, "How will you do that? I mean.. How will you show your power to everyone, specially Alonzo?"

"I'll not do that but you will. As you are your father's son, so you have to help your father in fulfilling his wishes.. Isn't it right my dear son?" Though Mr. Brown's voice was sugarcoated, still it was not oblivious to Alex that his father meant nothing but just harm to him..

"What kind of help are you talking about?" Alex tried to be confident though he miserably failed.

"Nothing much.. I jtst heard that your brother had fallen in love with a girl whose name is Veronica Lopez who is also a friend of yours... 

And I also came to know that you guys are acting to be the same person to meet that girl everytime and even I know that you're going to see her tomorrow after Alonzo leave for his trekking.." Mr. Brown said.

"So??" Alex asked nervously.

Again giving him a smirk, Alex's father Mr. Brown said, "So.. you just have to remove her from your brother's life. I don't want any poor girl to come into our household. We don't know if she is just some gold digging bitch or not.. So I can't risk either my son's life or my huge property.."

"Dad.. you can't do that. Alonzo loves her very much and she is also a very good girl." For the first time in his life, Alex had voiced out his opinion in front of his father to stand up for his brother and friend.

Furrowing his eyebrows at the sudden spirit of Alex, Mr. Brown said, "I don't care about that. I just want you to follow my command otherwise.."

"Oth.. otherwise?" Alex stuttered as his hands got wet by perspiration.

Wickedly smiling at him, Mr. Brown muttered threateningly, "Otherwise I'll kill both of you and that girl Veronica. Do you want that to happen?"

All the confidence Alex had built up from these past few months got scattered down in a minute and at this moment Alex didn't feel anything but despair..

"You.. you can't do that.." Alex mumbled with hit tear flowing from his eyes.

"Of course I can do that my dear son. And no one knows better than you about that. Or did you forget the beatings I gave you?" Porter Brown said it without any sympathy in his voice but just venom in his words.

Alex clearly remembered those days when he was detained under his father and got beaten brutally by him most of the time.

Whenever Mr. Porter Brown would need to vent out his anger, he would choose Alex as his prop and started to beat him mercilessly without catching any grief on his emotions.
