"I thought whatever we discussed in the scrap yard remained discreet Mr Hudson." Mr Bennet muttered to him as they hung opposite each other.He threw away the cigarette and stamped his feet on it matching the red-head to the ground.He would have lit another one but there was no lighter in his pocket."Are you sorry for me or not sir, you framed me?""I only have you a warning of what I'm capable of Mr Bennet and how I should not hesitate, without pity." Mr Hudson's words had created a certain impression, there was a moment of silence."Joshua." He heard a voice from behind him making him swivel back. Brandon told me you would be here." She said handing him bindings of some documents and he obliged gawking at her surprised."I don't know Joshua but that was stupid, I don't know when you've gotten so stupid.""You're pushing on with the divorce, right? You believed I stole Trishas' pendant?" Joshua was angry and not happy they were influencing them, he balled his fist by his side."It'

" I'm telling you, Pamela, he has already proved himself useless, it's time to move on. Accept your father's suggestion." Mrs Mason said as she paced closer to her daughter. Mrs Mason stared hard at her as she considered her facial expressions."I don't think there's any need for haste, Joshua is trying. He even resumed back to work today, after cleaning the house." She said reaching out for the jar.Mrs Mason stared at her frustrated daughter. She paced closer to her. "You can always choose whom you want but Joshua had failed the family and worst of all the public disgrace, he's labelled us enough, the internet didn't hide today's event." "I know but Mother you're supporting father and I can't marry Mr Hudson."She hates the thought of it, the man's gloomy appearance shows he has personal motives."You don't think you have any other choice, Mr Hudson won't wait forever and the company needs to expand.""But I want to give Joshua a chance, he begged for it." She shrugs her hand wish

"Did you mean to tell me that you're the one that wired me such a huge amount? you're joking right…" She couldn't believe it, not Joshua, no one could have told her about this and she would ever believe that. "Yes and that is for you to be clear, Cassie, you're good-hearted, that's just for the few roles you're supposed to be playing and I trust you would. I supposed I would pay you well that you don't have to worry", Joshua warned and he steps closer to her throwing away the stick in his hand. "You are…rich and you hide it, Joshua, why?" She stuttered. The words were stiff and also she was overfilled with joy, who thought she would have such a huge amount when her rent was on her neck and has a lot of deadlines to meet? "What do you mean?" Joshua questioned. "Ah... So it is Joshua Stark? not in my wildest dream And the alert belief. What Im I suppose to do?" "Cassie, I have already told you, you're sure not to betray me? I would want you to deliver the jade to the Mason, no one

Chapter twenty-four
It's been two days since Joshua had refrained from his job. He just wanted to go out today and maybe get something for himself while he meets with contractors regarding his company, the Stark and other people."I don't think I would be able to stand you if they allow you to stay in this house, Joshua." Mrs Bridget Mason said as Joshua walked out of the room and her eyes scrutinizing him.He looked to his left and saw the plates and the mopping sticks stacked up waiting for him."I overheard your conversation with Pamela, I think you're back to your routine of keeping the house in the best of shape. You ain't working anymore.""You should at least be keeping the house neat while your time slowly approaches.""I thought as much, he has nothing to offer, why would father give him three days? It's too long by the way when there is no hope.""I thought since I'm leaving the house you would no longer need my assistance, besides the maids are there rather Trisha can do it." Their face switch

"Let me see what you've got there, woman." Mr Mason requested the package. Pamela was stunned, everyone was, "it couldn't be Joshua right." Bernice muttered to Trisha who had her hands balled into a fist by her sides. "Of course, it can't be him, not on this earth." Mrs Mason didn't say anything except for the only thing she anticipated, the annulment. Right now Joshua walked towards the door, they didn't even notice, if they had, he wouldn't have had the chance to pace out. "What have you done?!" He paced towards Joshua forcing him by his collar. "You screwed me, I promise I will get back at you!" Mr Hudson pointed his index finger at Joshua and brought out the pack of cigarettes and lit it annoyed. He picked up his phone to call Noura as he dialled the number, Joshua collected the phone from his hand glaring at the failed number. The breeze from the rain had a sudden effect on him. His body and heart were in a terrible situation. "Joshua, you have—" He was brought to a halt.

Mr Mason glared around, he even sent David to look around for signs of him, which they couldn't get, unfortunately."He might have walked his way out sir.""It's too soon! Everything!" Mr Mason shouted. Pamela couldn't say anything.Cassie looked around and Mr Mason, having forbidden them to give Joshua a lift, bent their head and entered their car and they eased out of the compound."Father calm down!" Trisha suggested.Right at this moment, Mr Hudson had been washed ashore, the one person he relied on, he called Mr Hudson but like walking on fire, the man had no time for them anymore. His line rang and no one picked up."Mr Hudson's company is in major catalepsy, and now this! The Stark had made an announcement too."Joshua didn't say a thing. Mr Mason looked up to him. But he just went out."Father I should be —" Joshua wanted to say."Just get out!" Mr Mason shut him up."No way, you're still the useless son-in-law, get those laundry taken care of." Mrs Mason admits even with the

Mr Joshua, I'm sorry I had to call you or here knowing you want your identity discreet. Joshua cocked his head to look closely at the man. "Don't worry, Mr Stark told me everything and you don't need to be in such a mood man, alright." The man blinked and drank from his cup, Joshua didn't overreact. He stared at him in scrutiny. "What did he tell you, Mr Hunter?" This question came from Joshua after several hours of consuming what the man was saying and figuring out how to reply to him. "Well, Mr Joshua, he only demanded it should be kept discreet." "Discreet, well you said you know about me why don't you spill it out." "Haha, that would be a spoiler." The man said bluntly. "Not to me." Joshua sounded the term daring into the man's eyes. His eyes fell on the chap standing by the left. A sorry sight of a frail man that thought of ending up like the latter but was not sorry for himself. "You can't possibly hurt me, I'm only saying I know the truth that you were only claiming to

Chapter twenty-eight
The whole mansion of Mr Hunter was in chaos, after the decorative event planners had left, the patriarchs were flooding in, and it was already night. Mr Hunter wished he could just kill himself for rushing ahead and acting stupid. He doesn't want to be on the bad side of the Starks. 'I just hope he forgives me.' He muttered like a form of prayer."You've been like this sir, are you sure everything is alright?" The PA came walking in towards his side."Of course everything is alright. Where are Jerome and Kira?" Mr Hunter questioned as he pulled out of his trance and walked over to the cell phone."They should be here in the next thirty mins sir." Jerome and Kira were his children, they have been in the state for the past ten years only to come back on this day. He had not just called them home but dragged them instead.Mr Hunter was not in the best mood but he tried to be on his best behaviour at best.He cleared the air and got himself into his suit. "Let me know once they're here a

Mr Hunter directed his gaze to Joshua and like flies, every one of the patriarch's gazes too followed him."And my son." Mr Hunter concluded. They still anticipated that Jerome was known to always turn down his father, they couldn't be expecting him. But what was with the son? The latter and last sentence caught them thinking a lot.''He is not referring to that loser is he?'' Brandon said.''What is wrong with you, how could you have thoughts that are that ridiculous,'' Sylvester said to his friend.There is no one there, Mr Mason shouted from his end.''Were here as guests, and how can we groof this good for nothing son in law of mine would be of any assistance to you? Son? There might be some mistake here, Mr Hunter, are you tricking us or seeing us as short-sighted? " "That's not possible, is it? " Mr Benedict chimed in.Mr Hunter had thought about it on several occasions, but exposing Joshua wouldn't be of any assistance either; it's better he just shrugs it off and keeps th

"What is going on here? " Mr Hunter questioned. "Yes that is true this man here had another son, I have been having my suspicions for a very long time now," Jerome said walking closer towards them, "Jerome stop!" His father shouted in a command that echoed through the walls of the room. They went out of the crowd into their chamber. It was there Mr Hunter slapped his son again for the false claims. "There just be some misunderstanding here," 'Hunter my father? This was unbelievable, I couldn't picture myself in yet another scandal.' Joshua thought. "Jerome, apologize." Mr Hunter demanded and everyone gapped. "I can't figure out myself doing that." Joshua looking down blinked and raised his head. Mr Hunter could not afford to lose his beautiful Stark connection for his son's negligence and nonchalance. "Idiot he is the head of the Stark and you will apologise the whole night, please Mr Joshua forgives us." "I thought Mr Stark doesn't have an heir?" "Well, you can ask the heir
