Joshua’s POVI straightened the edges of the suit while I stared at the mirror, I kept my eyes fixed on the man I saw standing before me.“Is this…” I paused at the sound of the door cracking open.I turned my gaze to the woman at the door which I found peeping in as though she was scared to walk in.I sigh escaped my lips in frustration, I straightened my back and spoke in a subtle manner in order not to frighten the young lady. “How may I help you?.” I asked her.I saw her shiver from her head to toe visibly. “I…” she stuttered to form a single sentence.My eyes brows rose in confusion as to what she may have to say. “I was sent by your Godmother to deliver you this note.” She bowed to me.I pinched the bridge of my nose in anger. “How many times would I correct and plead to be called by my legal name!.” I scolded in anger.It indeed felt strange to be addressed with so much respect and value, I remained the old Joshua whose wife had abandoned for a man of higher status or at least
Before the clock struck midnight, troops of guests, well wishers and distant relatives flooded into the main hall in the palace-like-duplex. It was an extravagant setting and interior design befitting a king. The liveliness in the air was similar to a mall on Christmas Eve. The occasional alone was worthy of such liveliness, everyone came in high expectations to see with their own eyes who will be celebrated as the heir. The celebration of the heir was going to last all throughout the night meanwhile Joshua knowing it was only a matter of time before the main event started decided not to be absent and approached the main hall.Joshua's PovEntering the main hall only to see the decor of the duplex walls was enchanting. “All this for an heir" I thought as I slowly approached my area of position for when the night officially began.To be honest, I felt a bit nervous, “haven't seen so many people in one place at once, maximum of what I've seen is within fifty to seventy...this– this is
Joshua speed off from the hospital premises. looking confused and as random thoughts ran through his mind."What do I do now? I can't just let her die like that, there has to be a means to save her." He whispered to himself like a man stripped off of his life without a course of direction.His foster mother who had taken care of him right from the point that he lost his parents, laid on his deathbed and the doctor was requesting for the sum of one hundred thousand dollars before he was going to raise his fingers on her case."Even though I am to save for five straight years, it would be most likely impossible for him to raise such an amount of money."But again, he thought about the one person that could help him now and that was his dare wife, Evelyn.He had established a really large business for her through a loan that he got from his bank and it was doing well lately. This was his best bet now.He drew a really deep breath and got into his scooter riding as fast as he could.Imm
Chapter 2"How dare you call me Evelyn, aren't you even ashamed of cheating on your husband ?" His voice was mixed with anger and tears as he tried as much as he could to push it back.Right before him, his whole world was crumbling and the only person that he thought had ever Loved stood before him to call him a low life."And what have you done to give you that right to call me your wife?" Her words were firm."Don't you think that question should be the other way around? After all I have done for you? Putting off with this broke ass of yours?" The anger on her face now was wide and vivid."This is my way of telling you that I am tired of putting up with a scumbag like you. Right now, what my business needs is a real man.And I have got one right here with me, Henry. In simple terms, I want a divorce already?" She walked towards her newly found lover and kissed him right on the lips shamelesslyHe turned towards the man that was beside her and held tightly to his shirt ready to beat
Chapter 3 "There is certainly no mistake here young Master, it's just me.""Was it a prank or simply a joke because it certainly wasn't funny." He thought.First, it was betrayal and then all of this. And to think that it was all happening within such a short space of time made his thoughts scattered all over the place.The man standing before him could see the reluctance in his eyes and he stretched his hands towards him once again."I know it's going to be very difficult for you to process this bit, don't worry, I am going to explain every single detail of it to you. Just come with me." His hands were still stretched out towards him.Joshua's eyes caught a glimpse of his hands and back at it first and finally, I decided that I was going to join himBesides, there was absolutely nothing worth losing there.They got into the car and it too off off slowly and the music flooded into my ears Certain thoughts clouded my mind at the moment as the driver continued to drive. Finally, they
Chapter 4Immediately he spat out the words from his mouth everyone in the room fell on their knees chatting the same words that the man just spat out from his mouth.His feet spanned around as his eyes caught a glimpse of every single person in the room.He waited for a few moments for them to rise from their bowing position but they didn't seem like anyone was ready to rise anytime soon."Can we rise, master?" He heard the voice of the man and for the first time, he realized that they were waiting for him to tell them to rise."Sure, please." He replied... His voice was slow since he was not familiar being put in such a position."I know that this is very strange to you but I am sure that you are going to get a hold of it soon. In the meantime, I am going to introduce you to someone who is going to make things easier for you." He heard the man saying.After waiting for a few moments, the sound of the thinking clock seemed to go even ten times faster than it was already.Soon, Mr. Ma
Chapter 5He got a suit from one of the best designers but they weren't so popular since it was made especially for him with just his name inscribed on it.When he was done dressing, Helena came again."Your car is prepared already sir." She noted bit he didn't want to use a car for such an event.A cab was going to be more than okay for him since he was not that used to all the luxury that he Found gathered all around him already."I don't think that I will need one." He replied to her.Immediately he spat out the words from her mouth, the expression that was hanging on her face went off and he could not he but notice the swift change."Is there anything wrong?" His eyebrows were furrowed towards her."If Sir. Maxwell finds out about that, I am going to get into big trouble." The expression on her face was worrying."Okay, just this time." He replied.He got into the car and he was driven slowly to the place, his eyes pairing halfway through the window to catch a glimpse of the city.
Chapter 6 Immediately he spat out the words from his mouth, Evelyn and Henry burst out into laughter trying not to believe what they just heard him saying."You have an invitation card?" They laughed harder, thinking that there was no way that he could be able to get that because it costs more than a fortune.He brought out his invitation card from his pocket and pushed it towards his face.At first their face Brightened but even with the evidence right before them, they refused to believe that he could have such a valuable material in his hands."Do you really think that we are going to fall for that?" Evelyn shot."Even without looking at it, I can tell already that it's totally fake." She hissed.Henry brought out his card from his pocket and Joshua's which was the master's card was way different from his."You are such are terrible forger aren't you." He laughed out loud."Do not know how long it took me to get one and do you even realize how expensive it was? All to see the heir
