Chapter 124 Secrets... That is unknown to all...
This chapter will be written on AUTHOR'S POV...
'He is not your brother at all!' Grandma cried out.
"What!?" Aless asked, shocked.
Grandma Nina nodded her head, looking elsewhere. "Yes, Aless. He is not your elder brother, he... He
is your uncle!" She closed her eyes in despair.
Grandma continued, "He is a sinner! A sin, that is not yet explained. A sin, I am holding in my chest for
the last thirty-two years."
She turned her head to see Dominic and disgust rolled off her. At this moment, all she wanted to do is
to kill this bustard for returning to her grandson's life.
Dominic watched her too. His face was expressionless but, the turmoil going on inside him is not so
easy to erase.
Grandma once again turned to Aless. She continued with her eyes closed, "He is the son of your
grandfather's affair with your mother!"
"They were in that disgusting relationship before your mother, Carmella was married to your father.
That wrench was your grandfather's assistant at first." She closed her eyes, recalling the disastrous RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
past she has suffered at a young age.
"That time Carmella drugged Arthur (Grandma's husband) and had a night of sin. Dominic came to her
womb. She started blackmailing him. To save his reputation, Arthur decided to tie my precious son with
that wrench!"
"My poor son..." She shook her head, feeling distraught at her husband's deed. "Then Dominic arrived.
And soon, you followed but from your father."
"Me and your father were unaware of this and things were going well, until one day, I..." Droplets of
tears rolled from her eyes as Victoria caressed her back in a comforting manner. "I caught my husband
and your mother... together... in my bed..."
She covered her mouth and shook her head, feeling so angry and sad at the same time. "I didn't let
them know my presence and investigated the matter. And soon, I find out what happened before."
"I was so shocked, Aless. I was broken, ripped apart. I loved that man with all my heart and what he did
do to me? He broke me. Shattered my all dream and destroyed my lovely home.." She sobbed but
continued to reveal the truth.
"I wanted to tell everything to your father. But, when I tried to tell him, your mother fall ill suddenly. At
that time, I saw my precious son being a madman for his wife. I..." She shook her head. "I could not tell
him, Aless. But, tried to keep them apart in my ways. Even though I have watched Dominic growing up
before my eyes, I couldn't hurt my son the way I was hurt. Because he moved Dominic just like he
loved you."
She sighed deeply... "But, destiny has some other plans for us. Nothing can indeed be kept hidden for
a long time. Soon, your father finds it out. He caught them red-handed."
"He used to love his father and wife a lot. Even at times, he would argue with me for his father. And my
son was devastated. He could not take the truth and... And he killed your mother. Then he suicide."
Grandma broke down in tears after revealing the years of suppressed sorrows. "They didn't die in a car
accident. I lied, Aless."
Aless stood benumbed. His breath stopped for a second and everything fall silent around him.
He could only stare at his grandmother because her words stopped processing in his head. Slowly, all
the images started turning black and white in him, not giving a way out of the mess.
'He is not your brother, he is your uncle. He is the child of your grandfather and mother. Your father
killed your mother and then himself.' These words were the only thing roaming in his head.
Aless saw Grandma crying. Her old age caught her good and she was about to fall when Victoria let go
of his hand and hold her, helping her to stand on her feet.
And him? He is Still in a daze. He felt like the ground under his feet was the wind and he is floating.
"Grandma... Are you alright?" Victoria asked.
Grandma stood straight, getting her support and her gaze fell on Alessandro. She slowly walked toward
him. "I am sorry my child. I never wanted to lie to you but, I had no choice. I was helpless."
"Baby, I..." She sighed. "I never wanted this truth to come out. But, I couldn't help it."
"When Victoria came to me and informed me about his evil deeds, I told her everything." She turned
around and hold Victoria's hand with grateful eyes. "She is the one who encouraged me to open up and
end this mess. She is the one who brought you out of the huge trouble."
"I... I always misunderstood this beautiful girl. When the news of drugs spread years ago, the scene of
your grandfather and mother came before my eyes. I couldn't help but feared the same destiny for you.
I thought she is doing everything just to get your properties. I was helpless and despised her. I wronged
her and I do apologise for that Victoria..."
"Please forgive me." She cried holding her hands.
Victoria shook her head and kissed Grandma's hands. "Honestly, I used to hate your ways and the way
you treated me. But now, I am aware of the reason behind it. Your fear and care for Aless made you
like that and I understand it completely. It was none of our faults completely. I am glad that everything
from the past we left in the past, Grandma."
"Is it true that you tried to kill him, Grandma?" Aless asked suddenly, taking both Nina and Victoria in
shock.
Both women paused and turned to face Aless. He is still staring at his grandmother blankly.
Victoria caressed her back and nodded in silence when Grandma closed her eyes and gave a slow but
firm nod.
"For years, I tolerated him in front of my eyes. After your father's death. A few days later, your
grandfather died too. I didn't want you to grow up with him, so I send him to Paris, in a boarding
school."
"I thought I can suppress the truth from you two. I thought Dominic was not at fault, but I forgot that a
betrayer's blood could only betray. He started growing up exactly like his father and started planning to
snatch your deserving position of Director..."
"I have had enough and couldn't see him destroying my only family. So I set up the fire to kill him and
erase him from your way permanently."
“But I didn't realise that Victoria was there too. I didn't know her before. Just heard it recently. She used
to believe that he died while saving her. In her eyes, he was a hero but that was not right. He might
save you, Victoria but he was not a hero at all! He has born as a sin. The sin I have endured for the
past thirty-two years."
"But, I wasn't succeeded at all. He was saved by that Vincent Warrior... Your grandfather's beloved
friend and my foe... The owner of Warrior Industries...
Grandma smiled bitterly. "That man was your grandfather's very close friend and a foe to me. He did
help your grandfather to hide his sins from me. In Arthur's every step, Vincent supported him other than
stopping him and being a good friend. But he chose not to. Even your mother's marriage with your
father was his idea!"
Suddenly, Dominic started laughing. All the attention turned to him and he hovered on the desk.
"Yeah, she is right. Vincent Warrior saved me, even though he gave me his name. He invested in me
and DW." A cold sneer formed at the corner of his lips, "The treatment I should get from my family, was
given by an outsider. What a life that is, isn't it, Miss Nina Devonte?"
"Shut up!" Grandma shouted at her. She felt a sharp pain on the left side of her chest, but she did not
stop her words to fall.
"I should have thought that before! Vincent and that old bastard were best friends. I should have known
that Dominic could be helped by him! It was all my fault! I should have been more careful! I should have
killed this bastard by my own hand and Buried the secrets deep down in the ground so that my Aless
never had to face such a terrible reality!"
Grandma cried. "But, I failed. I failed in the end. I couldn't save my grandchild from this cruel mess!"
"Yeah, of course, you failed old woman!" Dominic suddenly snapped at Nina.
"If it wasn't for you old bitch, how could I have been injured? How could I have lost Victoria, who was
supposed to be my wife? How could I miss the chance to have my own family with her!?" He yelled at
her and Victoria gasped.
"Shut up! Shut the fuck up, Dominic!" She yelled back at him. "What we had in the past, that is gone
years ago! Do you understand!? Never brought this up again! I may like you before but I never loved
you the way I Love Aless! He is my only love and the father of my child!"
"There was a time when I thought I would want to meet you in the afterlife. I thought you deserve to
live. But, what you did to Aless, now I don't think like that anymore. I think I was wrong to even think
good of you!"
Alessandro on the other hand, clenched his fists when he heard Dominic's words. He always knew that
Dominic did not only want Reywalt but something else. And that something is Victoria Edwards.
However, Victoria's words to Dominic eased him a little. His heart stopped being too uncomfortably and
a soft glint flashed across his eyes when they fell on Victoria.
Dominic started laughing. "Yeah, of course." He scoffed. "That only made me yearn for this old bitch's
death more and more. You should die!"
Grandma cried in silence. For years, she only did it. She has now mastered the knowledge of shedding
tears avoiding all attention on her."
"You're right, I should have died a long time ago. When I can not stop my husband's affair with his own
daughter-in-law. When I can't save my son and now, I even failed to protect my grandson. I should die
and go to hell!"
Nina cried and trembled. The pain in her chest grew more with time and soon, she started feeling too
weak to take a breath.
The throb in her chest fastened and the pain increased. Her hand clenched her chest, as her face
wrinkled up in pain.
"Grandma!" both Aless and Victoria gasped in unison and rushed beside her. Immediately, Aless hold
her in his arms and Victoria called for an ambulance.
Soon, the ambulance came and Aless picked up his grandmother and rushed downstairs with Victoria
following him behind. Calvin helped them too. All of them were worried.
But, in the midst of all, Dominic only stood in the Director's Office. If they turned around, they would
have noticed the evil smirk that formed at the corner of his lips.
Those blue eyes were sharp and had some more hidden secrets. That is still deep down in his heart
and unknown to all, forming a position to come out soon...
