After Josh saw he withdrew to his room, he hissed. 'Because of hunger, see how his mood changed the other time!'

Josh gave it some thought and wondered who exactly he was. It was just so annoying though. Without further ado, he drank some water and then walked out of the dining room.

Josh got to his room and closed the door behind him. Soon, he slept off.

Franklin got to his room, he thought about what he did to his son Which he knew wasn't a good thing.

Franklin remembered he shut him entirely up which was something bad from his side. He hoped his son could actually forgive him eventually. Although he would still have to ask for forgiveness anyway.

    Josh looked through the files he had on his table. 'There is still quite a lot of files here. How do I get to sign them all before evening!' Josh was in thought.He glanced at them again, he felt so lazy about it. 'Let me just analyse how this new project would go.'He picked a paper that was of no use on his table. The paper had been lying fallow for a long time. Now is the time to make the paper useful.He picked up the pen he had on the table and started drafting out the cost of his new plan, from the construction to many other things that are necessary for the ongoing plan to be a success.Many minutes later, he was done with his analyses. The estimate was a little bit huge but the money was actually nothing to Josh. It was a change and he would pay within a flinch of an eye.'Now, who is capable for this job to ensure perfect and on time delivery!' Josh thought about it for few minutes.There was no ideas forth coming. He knew he can't just give the contract to anybody. Anybody w

He was looking at every possible way to develop that office of his.'This place would be more perfect if it is more developed!' he retorted. Josh was considering to use a more advanced furniture and tools to make his office more l

    He read through it all without raising his head. Analysis without a calculator, he was trying to get through it all at once.Sure, it was a bit difficult but that was his job, so it was a must. He had to do what was necessary.Minutes later, after proper evaluations and scrutiny, he concluded on one incredible price."Okay this is good! For my price, I will charge eight hundred thousand dollars for this," he said to him.Josh sighed. That was a flinch to him and it was a good thing. "Okay! No problem..when will you get to finish it up if you start maybe by tomorrow?" He asked him."That's difficult to decide on. How fast do you want to get it done?" He asked him."Very fast, maybe within a month and even lesser if possible!" Josh said to him.He sighed. "That would be a bit difficult but it's not too difficult! You see, I will get more hands on this and we will be done in three weeks but you will need to pay more!' he said to Josh."I have heard you. I will get back to you if I will be

    She parted her lips, but no words came out. She was pale, and yet, her mother still waited for an answer. She had never expected her mother to ask such a question, especially now.She knew that her mother was there to ask questions, but this was too much for her to hear.

    Eva couldn't stop laughing at him. His hands were stiffened, and his eyes were closed as he tried to blow out some of the flour that entered his mouth."Hahaha. You look like Santa Clause, the white version. It even gave you a beard." She giggled some more, clenching onto her stomach to stop herself from laughing so hard.There were a lot of things she had seen, but seeing Adrian like this was full time hilarious. She couldn't stop laughing despite the fact that her cheek had turned red, and so did her eyes. She looked so happy to see him play this way, but the most important thing was that it made him recall his childhood.He recalled how they would run around all day, and he would try to chase her until she ran into their father's arms.They were so cute that time, and he never caught her. This was the time to replace that moment. He rushed towards, crouching down to pick up a handful of flour."No, don't ruin my dress, please…" It was too late. He didn't seem like he would liste

She was really glad that everything went according to how she envisioned it.She was carrying his child due to one mistake. She was angry about the mistake, but it favoured her now."I can't wait to crawl back into your life, I really can't wait.

    "Mom!" The realization hit them, as they stared at each other with worry on their faces. Never have they been in this kind of mess. Their mother was the main reason why they were into this kind of thing. She was opening up to the man she thought was her husband."I can't believe mom would do this to us. Why did she do that to us? It's like she doesn't care about us at all." Eva was fuming. Her eyes were red, and she glared at no one in particular as she stomped her feet. Her mother was definitely not stupid for trusting a man."What do we do now?" Eva asked with worry on her face, causing Adrian to go into thoughts. He seemed to be really worried about everything, and he stroked his chin while he paced around.Uncle Francis sat there also in thoughts. He seemed to be waiting for Adrian to come up with a plan which Eva didn't understand. It seemed like something was wrong.She ran her hands through her hair, and was unable to say anything.

    She squinted her eyes, and then rolled her eyes like never before because she didn't want to think about it."Tell me you're joking." "No Eva, I'm not fucking joking. I'm going to be a father, and as much as this is good news, I'm not excited." He began to pace around the house, while Eva watched him."You mean it's a mistake. Fill me in because I'm confused. What are you trying to say now?" Adrian blew air through his mouth, and his hands ran through his hair. "I don't know how it happened. This was pretty unexpected. It wasn't my fault, and I don't know what to do." He was freaking out, and didn't know what to do. His heart kept thudding in his chest before he turned to his sister who was looking so worried about him."Tell me what happened. Who is carrying your child? You haven't been with a woman since your appearance." "You're right. I've not been with anyone since I returned back, but that's the problem. The only woman I was with was the one who came to me. My ex wife." Ev

His heart was pounding in his chest, and he felt like he was about to die.He walked into his house with his head lowered, and he pressed his lips together because he couldn't understand the situation.He didn't know what was right or wrong anymore, and he felt like he really needed advice. This was the woman he no longer wanted anything with. Why did she come back to his life? Why was nature so wicked to him?"What happened? I saw you zoom off, and before I could reach out, you were already out of the building." He raised his head to catch sight of Francis who seemed really worried about him.He was descending from the stairs, his eyes were also fixed on hon with a worried expression on his face."What exactly did Megan tell you to make you look like a mess? Your hair is messy, you look all sweaty, I don't even know what to tell you." It was only a matter of time before he let himself sink i

She just wants to stay on her own and not get in anyone bad book but Morgan was just testing her patience."You know, seeing you here alone pisses me off the most" Morgan commented and Emily still ignored her. Morgan rolled her eyes as she threw her purse on the sofa, grabbed the Remote of
