The party was going on perfectly. Josh was there, he had smiles on his face, because he was quite happy to be back.

Josh had been underestimated for a long time, he knew his coming back was somewhat something no one saw coming.

"Josh! Come here!" That was Josh's father. His voice penetrated Josh's ear that he had to pay attention.

Josh faced his father. "Dad! Where?" As he was still asking, his father dragged him alongside him.

"How good are you at drinking?" His father asked, being overly happy.

"Urrgh….!" Josh eyes widened. It was long he drank anything hot, his father asking was something that made him think a bit.

"Yes, son! We are going to celebrate with this perfect drink," He said and stopped right in front of the alcohols.

'Damn!' josh expressed his surprise. "Dad….! Actually, I don't," Josh's father cut in. He didn't let him finish what he wanted to say.

"I don't say I need your opinion, son! Common sit down… today! We merry," he said, taking his seat.

Josh shook his head. He was surprised at his father for his over excitement.

A party doesn't mean a death sentence. Josh was not certain if he would leave that party alive after taking all the alcohols he was seeing in front of him.

While he was still looking at them. Josh's father said, "son! We will drink this together! To make it fun, as I pour mine, you will also pour yours! So, let's go!"

He opened the first bottle he had with him and poured it in the small cup he had with him. The same thing applied to Josh.

Although he was reluctant, he had to play along.

Josh's father was laughing excessively after he drank the first.

Josh wasn't that excited, he just drank it to please his father.

He poured the second and they drank it together. When he wanted to pour the third, a force held the bottle tightly down.

Josh was surprised at the view of that strong muscles, he and his father raised their head. Josh's mouth dropped with huge surprise.

"Brother!" Josh called out as his eyes darkened.

Adrain's face filled with smile. He picked up the bottle at once, "you don't bother to invite me, do you?" He said, drinking all the alcohol at once.

Josh's father; Franklin stood to his feet, he was excited before, now he was overly happy.

"Adrain? Oh My Lord, today is just My lucky day, My two Sons are back"

"Son! Come here!" He said giving him a tight hug.

Adrain hugged his dad while he barged like an animal after he drank the whole alcohol.

Josh was surprised to see his father was very happy to have him back.

To Josh, it was no big deal, because the both of them were mortal enemies. So, having him around was like hell to him.

Adrain and Franklin released themselves from the embrace. He faced his brother and his smily face frowned.

Josh stood to his feet and looked at him in the eyes not terrified.

Andrain snuffed some air into his nostril, "having a grand party for your come back is great…..! Do you think you are going to last as the CEO?.... Nah, I don't think so, because I am going to be your end. So, it is better for you to back out now, because it won't be funny!" He said with a smile on his face.

"After all these years you are still the same brat" Josh mumbled.

Josh couldn't smile. He knew Adrain's threat, although it doesn't take a toll on him, but he knew he watch his back.

Franklin was watching the both of them. He was tired of this anarchy that was between them. "That's enough, Adrian! This party was meant to welcome Josh. Don't spoil it with your behaviour!" He said.

Adrian raised his eyebrows and looked at his father. He scoffed. "All of a sudden I become the bad person here, right? If it was me, would you …."

Franklin didn't let him conclude, "Enough! Sit your ass down or leave this place, you unfilial son!" He yelled at him. "All I have ever wanted was my two sons to get along and None of you is ruining this day for me"

Tired of what was going on, Josh stood to his feet. He walked out of the party.

"Adrain Please stay here, " Franklin begged.

'I don't see a need for what father is doing! Let him do his worse!' Adrain murmured.

Franklin went after Josh. He sighted Josh standing alone from distance. Franklin sighed, 'Josh doesn't have to do this,' he retorted.

In no time, he got to him and stood beside him. Josh knew father was there but focused on what he was looking at.

"Son! The party, you are mis..." Josh cut his father.

"Dad! I don't want to talk about this!" He said and walked out on him.

Franklin saw how angered he was. He understood his anger and sighed. He knew him and his brother had always been like that from time.

He walked back to the party.

Josh got into his car and drove home.

Josh walked to the mansion. He took a seat in his room and pounder on what he had decided on.

'I know this would be a very long battle! I am ready to fight till finish,' he concluded within him and stood to his feet.

Josh remembered something. So, he quickly exited the mansion and took a car.

He drove all the way to an hospital. Getting there, he stopped the car and stepped out of it. He snucked some air out of his nostril before he proceeded into the hospital.

Josh was there to meet Andrea. Getting into the hospital, he met Andrea seated.

"Man! Whats up?" They exchanged handshake.

Andrea didn't answer that, he only sighed. Josh knew he was still very much in thought about his little sister.

"How is your little sister doing?" He asked.

"little sister! I hope she survive this operation. I am scared, man!" He said, letting out his worries.

Josh's countenance fell. He understood what he was going through.

. "Don't worry! It is going to be fine!" he let out a word of hope.

Andrea nodded his head. He hopped everything would truly be fine. He had heard a lot of things about kidney transplant. Now that he little sister is passing through the process, it scared him.

"Have you eaten?" Josh intentionally asked. He looked at Josh in a way.

"Eaten!" He echoed without uttering further words.

Josh looked at him for a while. "I know you are passing through a difficult situation. At least, I believe you should take something," he murmured.

Instead of Andrea to talk on that, he said, "I hope my little sister would be okay. She is still in the surgery room!"

Josh nodded his head. He didn't bother to say a thing again.

After a while that they had been there. Andrea faced Josh, "thank you for coming!" He said, because he was delighted that Josh was with him.

"Don't mention!" Josh said, having a touch of smile on his face.

"At the same time, I want to also thank you for your help ever since you knew about all this," he thank him again.

Josh didn't respond to that, he just smiled to show his appreciation was accepted.

Andrea continued to hope and pray eveything went fine.

In that place Josh began to think about some things about his family. Before he left he knew he and his family were not in good terms.

Now that he was back, excitement filled the air, especially from his father.

'Has eveything being forgotten over time?' he thought to himself. Josh wasn't sure of what was goning on.

His father's over excitement was something else too. It was unexpected.

While he thought to himself, "I want to eat!" Andrea finally opened his mouth to request for food.

Getting hold of his attention, he faced Andrea.

"You want to eat?" Josh asked to be sure of what he said.

Andrea nodded his head. "Yeah! I am famished," he said.

Josh got his point. "Okay, I will be back, let me help you with what you need," he said.

"Thank you!" Andrea said.

Josh nodded his head and left the hospital premises at once. He got to his car and started its engine.

'I know what's he is farmished to an extent, he will demand for food!' he retorted and drove all the way to a big restaurant.

That restaurant was number one in town. They don't just allow anybody in, only the rich were allowed.

He stopped his car and highlighted from it, getting to the front of the restaurant, "good day!" He greeted and wanted to advance forward, he was stopped by a bounce.

"Identify yourself, man!" The bouncer said rudely.

"I should identify myself before going in? I don't understand," he said.

"You heard me right" The bouncer said.

"Joshua Miller," he said, looking at hin directly in the eyes.

Piercing the bouncers ear, he bowed immediately. "I am so sorry, sir! Please, go in!" He said.

"Seems like they have forgotten my face, it's just been few years" he mumbled.

When she pulled out of the car, she removed her sunglasses as she entered inside the house and who she saw made her frown immediately. "Oh you" she said as she was very bitter about that, Emily who was busy watching a movie on the screen tilted her head as she saw Morgan but she just ignored Morgan as she didn't want any trouble.Morgan was irritated that Emily didn't really acknowledge her presence, Emily just didn't want any issue that day. 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
