"Am I trying to seduce you? Yes I am" She shrugged it off.

"Can you stop that?" He has a disturbed frown on his face and that was not good, his lips were pressed in a thin line.

"Okay" Kathrine gave a simple answer but the smile on her face showed that she did not mean her words.

"You know what I am here for, I really need this Job. I truly need this Job, Kathrine you know I am very good at computer development" He locked eyes with her, showing all seriousness in her Eyes.

"I don't mind giving you this job, even a higher position because I know that you a Company Diamond, I won't want To waste Such talent but however... " She rolled her eyes and clicked her tongue.

"But I just can't, I know how good you are, I know your skills and I know that you are so Good at what you do but then to be really honest with you I can't give you this job" She stood up from the chair with a frown on her face.

"Why?" he questioned, As he narrowed his Eyes.

"Why? you asked huh? well, You see, You know how much I want you Josh, you know how much they want us together, If you need this Job then Be with me"

"I can't get with you, I am a married man for crying out loud and you have a finance"

Irritation Was obvious On his face.

"Oh please" she rolled her eyes as she folded her arms with one leg in front of her

"Married? spare me that bullshit, Josh! I know that your wife is a monster who would leave you for any Rich man who is ready to dive in. You know that, we all know that. I just need us to have a relationship! Fine if you don't want a relationship at Least lets just have sex, just a night with me, if you want this job just a one nightstand with me, have sex with me and it is yours, I would pay you one Millon dollars a month" he raised a brow "I know you want more than that so i will pay you Ten Millon dollars a month all you have to do is to have sex with Me. Trust me when I say that your wife won't care at all."

Josh stood up "Kathrine, I am a royal man and I can't cheat on my wife no matter what, no matter the amount of money you offer. If you truly call yourself a Friend of mine then you should help me out, without waiting for me to sleep with you"

He has known Kathrine for a very long time, She has always wanted him to be with her, have sex with her and love her but he just does not see her that way, she has tried almost everything to get him but Joshua was very loyal.

" Josh I have been there for you through thick and thin. You know I love you, Not because of Who you really are or anything but because of who you are, you mean Alot to me, and I want you to know that, that is why I am helping you out"

"This is not help, since this is all you have to offer to me, I will gladly take my leave now. Have a Nice day Katherine" he planned to walked out of the office but she immediately got to him and put her arms around him as she whispered in his ear

"Wait" Josh took a couple of deep breath

"What? " his voice sounded cold to her and it made her feel very much bad.

"For some reason I love it when you talk to me with that coldness, I pre..."

"Am I getting the job or not?" he cuts her off

"Take this" she gave him a business card

he took it "What is this about?"

"This is my other number , call me when you change your mind, it's just sex nothing more, just for one night"

Seeing that she would not change her mind he Mumbled "Unlock the door" he already felt irritated, how could she shamelessly throw herself at him multiple times.

"Have it your way" with a straight face she unwillingly unlocked the door, without a second thought He left without glancing back. She watched in the CCTV camera as he left the company, her Eyes darkened.

"You must be mine, Joshua miller, whether you want it or not, just a matter of time"

A sinister smile curved up her face.

After some minutes walk, He was home standing in the front porch, as he opened the door what he saw Made him raise a brow In worry and confusion.

Morgan was in a state of tears as she sobs heavily surrounded by her family.

"What's going on here? Morgan are you okay?" he moved closer to her with worry plastered all over his face.

"You are so pathetic, how dare you ask her that?" Jackson Morgan's Big brother Explodes before Josh could even react a Heavy punch landed on his face.

"What was that for?" His eyes was wide open in obvious shock.

"What have I done?" The pain sank deep in his Cheek.

"How dare you raise a hand on my daughter? how dare you Hit my daughter? what type of man are you? A wife beater and abuser?" Her words came as a wave of shock to him.

"Hit who? I did not lay a hand on her. I have never in my life laid a hand on your daughter, I would never hit a woman. I can never hit a woman.

"So you are Calling my daughter a lair Right? She is lying against you? I overhear you two arguing and immediately You left she came out of the room crying.” Michael was pissed off, Hot steam blowing off from his nose.

Joshua was taken aback, his face crumpled like that of a folded paper.

“I Never Ever did hit her, Yes we argued but I did not lay my finger on Morgan” He glanced at Morgan “Why are you lying? You know that I didn’t hit you so why are you lying Morgan?” He question as he was filled with anger and confusion.

Morgan avoided lookin at him as she didn’t answer him at all. “Please look at me and answer me”

.

Morgan was sobbing bitterly, She was about to cry a river for them. “Stop lying you did! Wife beater! I told you to Stop but you went ahead to lay those poor filthy stupid hands of yours” she sobbed pointing at him angrily. “I only tried to stop him from leaving after we argued but he pushed me aside roughly and slapped me” Her eyes were all red and puffy

“what?…”

Joshua’s Lips Were opened in shock. “I hate you so much! I wish I never knew you. He was very cruel with me father!” Her Hands were shaking like she has been deeply traumatized. At that moment Josh Realized that he married an actress, She was putting on a Good show, he was deeply shocked.

"You stupid man, why don't you pick on someone your own size, huh? Why don't you pick on Someone your own size?" Jackson was in the mood to become a wrestler, Ready to throw punches.

“Look at you, Poor Bastard! You have nothing to your name. I Warned my daughter not to get married to a fool like you, a good for nothing but she said you had something huge coming up for you but now look at Still in Square one always in Square one. Useless man , Eating under my roof with your Poverty stinking self”

“Useless nincompo, Seeing you just makes me want to Puke"

"I did not Hit Morgan, Please believe me"

"so are you trying to tell me that my daughter is a lair?" Maria questioned.

"At the moment she is lying, She is a very good actress and I know you won't believe me because all of you have a massive hate on me" He was used to the Hating, the berating, the humiliation.

"Lair! He Said that if I ever Tell you Guys he would do Worse to me" He was dumbfounded at that moment.

"You scum bag" Micheal eyes were all red as lunched Punches on Josh, He Pushed Josh and he stumbled, Josh didn't want to hit an Old man at all.

"Sir Please Hear me out I didn't do it"

"You Fool, How dare you? you think you can hit my daughter and go Scott free? come here let me deal with you" he Threw a Punch at Josh but Josh douched it and Michael ended up tripping, Falling on his face.

"Jackson call the Police, He wants to kill my husband. After Beating up my Daughter you want to kill My Husband too. Let me tell you, it will Never Work out" Maria yelled, veins almost popping out. Jackson immediately picked up the phone and called the Police.

"Oh, shit" Josh muttered out of frustration, for sure he knew one thing that these people would never leave him alone.

"I am so sorry sir" He tried to Help Micheal up.

"Don't you ever try to touch me, You will end behind bars tonight"

"The police should be here soon"Jackson announced.

"Much better, This Faliure in Form of a human Being needs to leave this house as soon as possible" The continued throwing more insults at him.

Soon the police Siren can be heard, And they all had smiles on their face. Josh who was fustrated was Quiet as a officer came in and handcuffed him.
