Joshua thought the woman would punish them for their crime. So he smiled and trudged their shoulders making the vile situation seem light. Obviously, she didn't react out of control.

"You should not redress them, they were only doing their job I believe."

Joshua was sure it was a law set by those that own the major part of the city, but they had a few reserve places where those that were regarded as lower members could stay and fine, it wouldn't have been any of the floors but the ground floor and it was in the lobby not hidden from the sight of the public.

The guards exchanged nervous glances and they were shocked just like Joshua. He looked through the window and sighed while trying to point out Raphael.

The woman's gaze waned as she looked at Joshua who placed his hand on one of the guards' shoulders and her expression changed but not without a warning she knew why he was doing that. Trying to secure their source of income.

They were uneased, but even with the shabby old clothin

    They barely said a thing or two and it was already ten minutes to eleven, Raphael was and had been patient enough.The man beside them chuckled loudly and was mocking Joshua and kicking him with his tongue."I told you he has nothing to offer, why bring him to such a beautiful place believing him when ye had painted black into a beautiful bright colour?"I have overstayed." The man let out grabbing his coat from the seat. And stood to bow his head even with the disappointment he felt towards Joshua."I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." Mr Bentley said as he hurried towards them.Raphael couldn't believe his eyes, so the famous Samuel L. Smith was standing before them, his hand held right onto his portfolio bag. He had never seen him before and as the most popular lawyer in the state with barely zero loss cases, he was hence regarded as top-notch. No one dares approach him except the extremely rich; the executive and the Stark as their attorney and those that we're super in need of his

    Unfortunately, Joshua did not say anything. It proved that in his case time did not change anything. He's been a loser all his life and people mocked him, a situation that seems to have bolstered over the last five years.The woman couldn't tell hence she increased her cockiness and said. " I don't blame you, you're already used to keeping up with insults, ain't you?"The man sitting at the far table chuckled at the meanness of the woman. Her voice was loud enough that it sent the few people there going."I heard you saved her from the fire, it was quite unbelievable, but here you are unacknowledged." Joshua had creases formed on his forehead. Endurance was a virtue he possessed but stupid people like this woman standing before him who was always pushing him to the cliff couldn't stop at anything good. Silly how with a snap of his finger she would change course and then become more terrible than those on the street. She was unexpectedly digging her own grave.Joshua now pulled his ph

    He wouldn't bear grudges against her for mockery right? She couldn't bear to think about it and Joshua didn't find her amazing either."I'm sorry Mr Stark it was my mistake, what do you plan on doing?" Priscilla chimed in trying to ease the situation, what makes her think that his one-day cousin sister with no bond would change anything? That would be hard.Trixie put on a coy smile and paced closer to Joshua. "I mean you can stay here throughout if you wish, I didn't know you were a prominent person funding the Crawford."She thought that her flattery smile and wish could change everything and make Joshua forget her mean and rude attitude towards him. She could fake it but he has seen her true devilish and judgemental colour.Unfortunately, she awoke the sleeping lion from its dean and allowed it to calculate its tactics."Oh Mr Joshua we have met at the patriarchal gathering before and you've been a good friend of mine in the past," Trixie quickly said, hulking on her saliva real ha

    Miss Pricilla walked up to Miss Trixie, she knelt her head bent over and she refused to follow them out."I tried as your superior I'm sorry to say this but I know how desperately you want to stay here. You will be transmitted to the branch in the rural, they haven't decided which one yet."She stayed in her trance, just how she could have done something this stupid without having a second thought. Priscilla trudged her should lightly and left the room.After he had made Priscilla disclose the information to Miss Trixie, they were at Mr Frankfurt's office.His office was on the last floor and had few people trolling the area, it was strictly restricted to customers and had its office for workers and those that have something prominent to discuss with the head. "Mr Joshua Stark, I never thought you would be met with such an eyesore as Miss Trixie. My apologies once again. And I believe you won't find it offensive and stop visiting us," the man said, he was scared of a poor rating, i

    Mr Mason stared at Joshua with a death glare, what was Joshua thinking by bringing that up?Mr Mason's stern, the shocked expression changed into more laughter as he thought of what Joshua had just said. "What have you to offer?" Mr Mason asked. "Absolutely nothing! You can't just be thinking I would fall for your trick again and again.""Mr Hudson will not have what he wants, please allow me to help.""Help? I wouldn't ask for help from a filthy good-for-nothing man like you." Mr Mason snorted at Joshua's flat excuses. "Because you have nothing to offer!"This useless man can't support his family how dare he tries to shit talk the impossible here!Joshua purses his lips and doesn't talk. He was totally clueless, it was true that Mr Mason doesn't like him and that he was indebted to Mr Hudson but that wasn't all it takes. The loud stern voice the man was using was too loud and if anyone was around aside from the three of them in the house it would have turned into a mockery marketpla

    Joshua cocked his head and glanced at the door real hard, his gaze lingering all over the man, from head to the last toe on his leg like a piece of hot bread."That is Mr Bennet. He works in the department as the head of human resources management. I thought I told you about him. He is dedicated and hardworking.""Oh, that too, he is mostly like to get into the description I gave you the other time right." His brow furrowed and his eyes darkened. "That is quite spicy… I doubt it could be him, he had spent his life working here." She rubbed her lips tight. "You should start coming to the company more often sir, The investors will soon start piling in considering it's summer, everyone wants to get themselves settled before winter.'' Joshua nodded at the man, to his right was a space, he escorted Miss Laura." Don't worry Miss Laura, I will see to that." He chuckled back, well he would have to meet Mr Bennet later on, get some information out of him if he had served the company that lo

    "We're very sure he is not an intruder." They muttered slowly. The pace at which he approached the man, Mr Bennet and the man's silence shocked everyone."We should talk over a drink," Joshua demanded his arm resting on the man's shoulder and the man instantly alerted himself. He couldn't believe the rumours he heard were true. "Mr Stark… I'm sorry if we're negligent of your presence please give us!" He brushed his hand along with his face glued at the workers. He instantly went lulled and void of speech.Joshua didn't say anything about what he was putting out. The workers gasped, they were surprised, and some were stunned till their stomachs almost started to be famished.The one that stepped up got wet all over and ran towards Joshua. "Please let it slide sir, I was trying to protect my job. It's the only means of livelihood I have." Joshua removed his hand. "Stop wasting time and go to your posts." He muttered to all of them without giving an individual reply to the man. "How di

    Pamela had her eyes to the little she could see, with her head scattered with thoughts about Joshua who was much at stake here. Her career. She could hear every noise they made.The carefree Joshua was not hanging around nor did he bother to glint a gaze at his father-in-law or the guests he had himself surrounded with.He turned to walk when he felt a man trudge his shoulder."I like it now that you know your position in the family. You've got no position, I will make sure your light won't blink in the whole of Vancouver Joshua." He neglected the man and strolled ahead. He kept following him, but Joshua paid him no heed or respect."Joshua, you could have been on my good side and none of this could have happened had you given me the heirloom I seek." Mr Clark said as he dumped the epithet in his hand on the table near Joshua."I can't keep reminding you of all these things. I have known it since the first day you came to seek alliance and side with me. You are just trying to use me to

    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
