Later in the day, Joshua arrived at Renfrew. It was a long drive but had his newspaper glued to his face. As he read the slanderous words and writings about him and the whole patriarchs.And some good things too.The car was hauled at the front of the large building. It was a small one compared to his own. But within the area, it was the largest. Six-storey building and old structure.Well. He slowly removed the paper and put it down on the seat beside him."We're already here sir." The driver announced.Walking to the door, the company looked like a deserted place. The workers had their hands glued to their faces while they hung on to it for their dear life. It was extremely boring.He raised his head and was hearing a shout echo through the whole place. The boss. Looked down and saw that Joshua along with his secretary was watching him from the ground."Mr Stark." He was shocked at what called for the immediate visit.He skidded through the stairs towards Joshua."Mr Stark to what d
"You think I would be stupid to stand here and listen to all your lie." There was anticipation in the eyes of the worker.All of them were scared at the rate things are going they might lose their job. And their families too. Losing their job won't scare them but what the bratva would do to them.Feeling a hand on his shoulder he tears his gaze from the workers to his office and back at Joshua.Joshua's eyes flicked from the worker to Mr Fletcher. "Just say the word and I will listen.""There is no word, and I'm not playing games with you. Why would I play games with the greatest tycoon in the state? They've helped me."Joshua along with his secretary knows of the man's intent. To scam the Stark over and over while overworking his workers."Why would you do this? If you so much respect the Stark.''"I didn't do anything, you see that anything you might be thinking about in regards to me is untrue. I'm very charismatic. One of my workers got up today and told me. Not prior. That his mot
"Very well I didn't see that coming, it sounded strange and unexpected. It hadn't been weak.""Well everybody knows how that man is striving so hard to be expendable. The Fox companies are the ones that will suffer the throwback. Most specifically when there is no Pamela to manage the company."That meant Pamela would lose everything she had strived for like dust in the hands of Mr Hudson.James Young was now holding a secret meeting with his enemy behind his back that made Joshua angry.Joshua was too lenient with Mr Hudson. Taking his wife, he still relentless goes after him. So what remains for that scumbag to do?He started gambling."I see, I will reach out to him later but right now, I should be at Hastings sunrise.""Alright my break is over I will be in the office too."This wasn't about the executive entirely anymore but it was about his loath towards Hudson and Hudson's loathe to the Stark and Joshua right from the onset daring to breach his walls."Sir, you should answer th
Pamela set her eyes on Mr Hudson, she couldn't control the emotion that was surging inside of her."Dear wife, you didn't come inside on time. You kept me waiting." Mr Hudson said relaxing onto the seat and rolling it.Pamela dark inside didn't speak or do anything, astonished she plopped herself forward. Her hand was still balled into a fist.Mr Hudson called back on the intercom and called the secretary."What do you think you're doing?" Pamela finally opened up. "What does it seem like, I invited you here to seek your opinion as the head of the Fox company."He was being ridiculous right now. How could he have the guts to speak such vile words in her ear?"The heir? Leader? It's funny how you think of me as one. You know these things don't suit you. I want a report of all the things you've been carrying out within my company.""You're not serious. Your company? I have been lenient with you because you're my wife and that isn't enough for you ain't it." Mr Hudson takes out a pack o
She walked out of the Fox company and into her car."I'm sorry Ma but Mr Stark isn't on the seat yet. I will let him know when he is."It sound stupid and seemed ridiculous to her but she had no option but to try her luck. Soon the fox company will go bankrupt if she doesn't do anything. "Ah, thank you, I will call again to know when he will be."She gulped hard, her heart aching within the cage. She knew she wanted to ask Joshua for assistance but she is here struck in doing that. Whereas he didn't look at her path that day."I can help you in some way." The secretary didn't end the call.Pamela was high on adrenaline and hope. Her teeth bite her finger."I can only tell you where he is and you can meet him there.""That would be a huge favour." She breathed."He is at Grandville, but not in any business issue. He went to the beach."She could remember vividly how he neglected her that night of his fundraising and now. She will have to sulk it up. She had turned into a woman in need
Pamela couldn't remember when she last came to Granville beach. And everything has changed, that means the coast has gotten busier and more people, peasants roam around more than before.She looked around although she was shy that she had to meet her ex-husband. She can't change that. She is in need, her heart thumped maybe he would be angry seeing her. She recalled how he left without a second thought."I'm sorry ma how can I help you." The girl in a mini bikini and skimpy top approached her. She saw how formal Pamela happens to be dressed. "I'm a worker here and I'm sorry you can't go in with changing into something attractive. Are you on vacation? Meeting on a date?"She frowned her face and looked at her. Was she for real? "I'm sorry I just came to see Mr Stark and it won't be long so there is no need to change into something like this. Business it is." She forced a smile while her eyes rummage through her from head to toe."Okay. You go there by your left. He is quite popular.
"I can't help you, Pamela." He says.But she undeterred and continued. " This is the most crucial thing in my life and he is using it extravagantly. Father supports him. I wouldn't live if I hear that the company I have worked hard for has been liquidated."Joshua called his fist by his side and started at Pamela unwaveringly. "You must leave at once." He hissed."Help me, please. I don't know but you should for the sake of our friendship.""If you are desperate to save your company you should do that yourself." He said flatly and she clicked her tongue. He had gone cold. What was the kind gesture for then? She stood up leaving the sheet with Joshua. Stepping a mere five to ten feet away beside him she folded her hand.She has the courage of the desperate and it radiated through her. From her feverish gaze and pleading lips. Though the breeze of the shore that blew made her hair fly. Joshua didn't look into her eyes."You should please have a second thought. I will die of the fever
"What is with the look on your face? Is there something I'm supposed to know?" Mr Mason said, spurring them.Mr Mason looked stern and the expression on his face was unyielding and menacing. He wore a black cotton suit. It was thought he already knew. He didn't dress casually. He might have met with Mr Hudson.Pamela was dressed in deep black and that meant the same for her. She urged her mother to open up. "Come on Mother, we agreed on this before he came in. We need to get rid of him so that I can have access to the fund to send you for chemotherapy." Even with the state of her heart and the survival rate being slim she deserves to be treated and maybe miraculously heal.Mr Mason approached his wife and from her to Pamelas' gaze lingered. He laid his hand furiously on the table and there was a thud, the cup at the end rattling.She yelled, shrugging at her father. "Don't you know that mother will be shocked by such an act!" She regretted her impulsive display."Now what! You were fro
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
