Unsheathed Heir Chapter 141
The ginger feeling inside the pit of his mouth made Derek cringe. He couldn't believe what unfolded before his eyes, he thought he had seen a ghost."Mother." He muttered, his chest rising and falling.He squared himself to the side and looked for something to give him comfort.Aunt Miriam grabbed herself the cushion and relaxed herself into it, her hand on her knees with a glare that spoke more than her word."Didn't you hear me or do you want me to force you into the seat, Derek." She inquired.Derek's legs having an instinct of their own dragged themselves towards the woman sited right across from him. Her unbothered attitude made him flinch and then scowled."Not until you explain what you're doing here at these odd hours." He stated firmly.Aunt Miriam glanced at Mr Hudson, a look that somehow contemplated on who to give the gist of the situation to Derek."Well Derek, your mother here has been funding this group. With you, on our side, I could only imagine the length of our vict

Derek perked up, his mother hidden like a baby in a cradle scared of a new teddy, she glared up from behind."Who is that? Why are you trying to scare the crap out of us?" She calculated the word out of her mouth. She thought it was Becca but the figure didn't look anything feminine and she had at least stopped at whooping all this stunt only on her sister, Priscilla."The ones you call family are holding grudges against you, this is a bad sign that our relationship has failed," Joshua said as he walked inside.As if bathed in a bath of water, and still hot like Aunt Miriam had made a grand gesture folding her hand to her chest. She sighed deeply."You are unbearable, how would you do something reckless like that? Come have a seat." She made the request slightly hesitating.Joshua raised his right brow with a hard look on his face. Derek looked away shame all over him like a chameleon he glinted at the seat.Joshua was still at another intersection of accepting this attitude. The s

Miss Laura was seen early in the morning in the office. Joshua was able to catch sleep after all he was used to that kind of treatment. He dragged himself out of the chair and forced the tip of his finger to flip through the paper. Like a drugged-up besotted fool, his palm beat his forehead. Joshua then pulled his project out of the several others. He stared at it and his door banged from the knock. Miss Laura stepped inside, and Joshua gestured for her to have a seat. Miss Laura was so quick to catch a glance at the file that was resting on the table, her eyes glinted around and found that the place had been in the same old rack shape as before the chair moaned while dragging it out. "I thought you said you would take today off since you have more pressing matters to settle out on." Joshua chewing on the pen in his mouth dropped it and cleared his throat. "I saw how tight the schedule is and it would be stupid of me to not censor certain things before rushing over

"Wow, I can't believe they're actually fighting each other. Things are about to get messy." One of the shareholder's hands slowly moved up to curl at Derek's shirt telling him not to back off. Derek's hand balled into a fist and staring increasingly difficult at Joshua, he broke the look and his orbs flew looking down and his hand tapped the man's hand away. Everyone was not in support of the tension, this could result in scandal and the Stark will be skinning the trend for internal conflict for days on the paper. Miss Laura cleared her throat to interrupt. A hand flew across her sight and Joshua warned her, she stepped away. "Tell me something Derek, are you opposing me and shunning my idea in public." He heaved a heavy sigh. "Come on." He demanded forcefully. "Say it so that everyone here will hear." "Mr Stark, this is not necessary. What Derek is saying in short is that it's completely unstable for the company to expand." The brown-haired shareholder interrupted

Mr Suleiman kept his word short and the fact that it was clipped censured a lot of expectations that were in the gaze that stared at him. "Oh! I now see, but Mr Stark Isn't it obvious that your friend here isn't as shady as you?" Joshua kept his tongue clipped as much as he could to the wall of his mouth and didn't dare to smoke but he bit down on his teeth and his chiselled jawline became more predominantly outward. "Well. Tell them, Mr Stark. We entered the contract because you want to invest in our small sugarcane company even when we couldn't meet up with other brands. I told him the project will fail yet the man went on with it." Mr Sulieman scowled. "Stubborn businessman." Joshua's brow flew, Derek quickly looked to his side and gulped the sudden lump in his throat. "What are you saying?" Derek asked in a low sultry voice. The council became quiet and those pointing fingers at Joshua instantly kept their mouth; others were doing the gesture of hitting
Unsheathed Heir Chapter 146
Aunt Miriam looked into Derek's eyes and her hand scrambled the paper on the table beside him. "That is not acceptable! I can't believe you actually gave in to him." She hit her leg on the floor furiously. "You are so stupid!" Derek was too far annoyed and she gave him a hard stare at his silence, taking advantage of the situation. Aunt Miriam stood thickly on her legs, her hand doing the favour of going against her. "No. This is not the end, I won't let it." Starting at the light that was reflecting from the inner room Aunt Miriam's hand ran through her scuff and to her hair in a meditative way. "I will make sure we get the company, not using Mr Hudson to get to him." Derek chewed on the meat stopper chewing like the click had given against him and he threw a glare upward shooting her a questioning look. "Don't stare at me like a fool." She soars him Derek looked away but his gaze managed to fly to the files in her mother's hand. "What is it that I wil

It burned down his chest as he leaned over the counter propping forward on his weight and he smiled down at the woman before him. The silhouettes went into a bright beam as the light switch was turned on by the hand on it, Mr Sulieman turned to face her."Thought as much that you would be here. I want us to meet first-hand before anyone else.""I can't believe you asked to meet me in person like this, Hudson the mortal rival of the Stark, did you just say you work with him.""That should be set aside, Mr Suleiman. I don't know why you did that but siding with Joshua is the worst mistake you're yet to realize.""You're sure about this?" The man said half a question balanced on his lips."Yes, I know your loyalty can be bought. I want you to retract your word of Joshua Stark investing with you on personal reasons for the trend. You can do that, can't you? Make it relate to the winery and expose how he's planned everything."Joshua rushed on his toenail. The door banged into a loud qu

Joshua almost choking on blood, Hudson twisted the knife into his gut, he felt like he should have himself down on a cliff but on second thought he could not quite sketch out why Hudson was greedy for what was not his. "How are you going to get the Stark when it's not even yours, your identity?" Hudson curled his eyebrow right at him and then began to chuckle. "Then what? Do you think I will think of something that will just remain solely as an illusion?" He sauntered over to Joshua. , "I'm a man of my ambition." "Hudson this will be interesting as you have declared your intention." Joshua laughed, choking on blood. His heart was dark and bloody. Hudson stood there In his hand was the blood-stained dagger he raised it straight pointing at Joshua. "When you have lived your entire life claiming the identity you're not, Hudson it will be hard to live without purpose." He looked around and then back to Joshua. "That is extreme." "I know but once you're dead nothing is stopping me."

Swirling around them was a cloud of dust from the sawmill where Joshua was held hostage. When he went out to meet with Peter earlier, something came up. Peter after spending time with him induced his water with a powder, his head spun around like he'd gotten into an accident, his heart started to beat slowly like everything he had worked hard for had lost its base, and his hands wobbled his head. Banging loud like it was hit by the hardest metal. Everything was so surreal and yet so copper in his throat. What kind of liquid was he induced with? He didn't know but he knew one thing for sure, this was not a mistake or a coincidence. Peter sat at the opposite seat and watched him while everything happened unwavering, Joshua fighting for his breath was like him watching a drama, a scary one he has gotten used to at that. "I don't like to see you like this Joshua but I have no option, never trust an enemy to be your friend." Peter's voice was screechy, stretching no tension. All Joshua's

"I have an idea, Let's run the DNA test and confirm the truth about Hudson." Miss Laura contributed. "You scared the crap out of me, Miss Laura," Pamela concluded. Pamela got that served quite cold and slowly she tried to regain her strength in an oblivious way, she blinked at Miss Laura, the relationship she had with her, she was quite sure if things go out the wrong way with the DNA she will be more than screwed. Joshua with the most condescending look sipped on his drink and relaxed on the sofa. "That is brilliant, I think it will work that way." Joshua agreed. Miss Laura and Joshua almost in unison glided their sight to Pamela. "What?! You're not expecting me to get it are you?!'' She shrugged, choking on her saliva. Pamela turned to look at Miss Laura. After what happened last night she couldn't get any closer to Joshua without it being suspicious. She huffed and rested her hand to the side of her face, her head hung in a sluggish tired way on the desk and Josh

Joshua was still shocked by Miss Laura back slashing attitude toward him. "Let me see what you have there." He said and Miss Laure forwarded her iPad to him. He read through it carefully then sighed. As if knowing what was going on he stared straight at Miss Laura. "Don't be like that." "Don't be like how we have gone this far and to think that some bastard is sitting up there… if this had no impact on you. You do it does on me, I can't let Hudson take charge." She clenched her jaw and felt the electric shock rifle up her jaw. "I will see what I can do about it." "Coward." Miss Laura hissed behind his back and he left her alone in the office entry. —--- "I can't believe this,'' Hudson said and he clasped his hands together while getting closer to the lady in front of him. "What do you believe?" Pamela scoffed. "The fact that you want to have me ruined or the fact that you figure out your dream will come true." Pamela bit her bottom lips, the word hurting through her mo

Joshua flew his gaze right at the mirror where he was unbuttoning his shirt, "It has already begun." He clenched his hand around the curtain and turned to give a second glance at the west wing of the room he had allocated to Pamela while they were there together. He pulled his suitcase towards himself and then dropped it, what if there was no reason for him? Likely he won't want to go back just as he thought about it closely. Every muscle in his body throbbed. But something like a weave of the thread was dragging him back. He wouldn't be able to make it and if he turns back now it means that everything he had worked hard for during his period while staying right here in Sheffield was nothing but a wasted time. The nun Mary has to meet with her as soon as possible to figure out more in regards to his twin brother. Could Hudson be lying, his medical report didn't reveal that he had any genetic disorder. But there was a chance that he fabricated it. He had to meet the nun. And his fligh

"What is the name of the disease?" Joshua asked but the nun didn't reply to him. He put his hand against the counter with a vase and asked again. "What is the name?" His brow tint demandingly. "I'm sorry but that is all we could find, I can't pronounce it but I have everything emailed down to you. Got to take a look at it." The nun muttered. Joshua gulped, his eyes lingering relentlessly, If Joshua finds that what he thinks is true then it means. . . Well, he was too deep into his sleep with the call came in, his voice was trying to sound normal. Joshua couldn't quite think well enough. He let out a deep sigh and shifted to the side without letting the suspense die off, the nun vanished and killed the call. "Alright, Thank you, sister Mary. I quite think you have done enough." Joshua said over the phone and ended the call he dropped his phone by his side, in a toss that showed he wasn't sure what to do at the moment hen then let himself dribble his hand off his face as he fucking

Pamela swat her hand to her face, she thought they were way past that. This hurts more than she could figure, what in God's name! Even as she feels her heart slamming against her rib cage and sweat dribbling down her spine. She forced a smile on her face. "What?" "I'm reminding you, did you send the note I told you to?" Joshua showed no restraint, his voice was purely authoritative, Pamela's eyes met his folded gaze she broke before she ran her hand along her jaw scratching through it as if there was a complete cold she had met the harbinger of death. "Yes, yes of course I was just going from there. It slipped my mind that I didn't let you know." Joshua's brow rises and she takes a step back as he takes a step towards her. Joshua's hand dribbled from his side and raised to touch the lips of the Pamela jacket that she wore. "You should lay this properly." He said then turned his back. Pamela clicked her fingers to the heart of her hand. Joshua's gaze was on her

Pamela walked the entry street by the woods, she sighs as her eyes catch the bus stop not far from where she stood, her hand to her knees and her forehead dripping with sweat. She doesn't know whether to say summer in Vancouver was far better but here her whole body is soaked up. "Thank heaven there is a bus stop right there." She dug her hand into her pocket and pulled out the hole from her pocket. Her head shook, she had no single glimpse of what Joshua's intentions were when he asked her to deliver the letter and what was inside the letter might bother her to try to figure out more but she dug it deeper inside her coat. "I shouldn't look beside it's not intended for me." She shakes her head and drops her hand from her pocket. Her superficial attempt to hold everything under her baby was a kind that feels so hefty. She finds herself fitted on the bench, beside her stood men who were dressed heftily, their voices the dark chrome of their dressing. Pamela blinked up wit

"It feels like we need a safe word," Pamela said the lines around her eyes slowly fading. "I wouldn't allow it, neither of us is allowed to walk out and go the way we were before we boarded on this plane, we can't and you know how this trip is secret." "Okay pick it, what is our safe word?" Pamela anticipated tirelessly, she knew more than anyone that she got on this plane for her own reasons. Mind blown Joshua shrugs. "I'm as surprised as you are. I wouldn't know any, come on figure out one I will just have to live by the way." "What about blue for when it's right and red for when it's not," Joshua suggested, the scowl Pamela three his way we're oddly penetrative beyond his flesh. "Random as hell." "I like where this is headed already. Don't forget it's not a date." "We're going to Sheffield and they're known for their extra cautious lifestyle. It wouldn't help us last some days without getting discovered." She shrugs. Joshua grinned. "What is
