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 stared at the shore. He was still there observing, he had gotten used to this.Mr Joe walked over to him with some of the documents he asked him to get from Miss Laura that stopped by, she had a family gathering along the Granville road, making it easily accessible.He gives his short brown hair a scratch, tucks one arm behind his head, and continues to smile like a looney at the scribbled text on his phone.He respects her, the marital boundaries and ruining it wouldn't be something he feels like doing. It could be bad knowing that he was her ex-husband and had to do all this. He needed to toss away his personal feelings; it would either complicate things for him. And pull the whole of Stark along.This was it. Just as it was business for Pamela when they were together, it is business for him too. They have to deal with it professionally.Ruining a committed relationship is not who Joshua was, not who he was raised to be. Taking someone from someone else simply sets you up
Mr Joe was still glancing at Joshua back as he pulled one of the files out slowly. He was lucky he didn't turn back until he was completely done.Joshua walking along the seaboard was busy making calls and he had his engagements for tomorrow planned. And he didn't expect he stayed out. Derek and Cassie walked to the other side and they were talking and giggling when they saw the reporter walking toward them. Their expressions quickly snapped."Mr Derek, it's a surprising thing having you here and talking to the man of the house girlfriend." The reporter piqued on the patriarch not allowing them to have the privacy they sought; he didn't say anything and covered Cassie. His back facing the reporter.The reporter with brown hair and dressed in a hoodie and sweat almost like a casual person was pulling out his jotting note along with the phone in his hand."Would you mind telling me anything possible, there was a woman Mr Stark was speaking to on the shore not too long."Their eyes were
Mr Mason moved from the stairs towards her."How do you see it? When I tell you to be patient you go about running your mouth, now what is your say on that?"Pamela sighed, she rushed to spread everything out on the black German table. One by one she scouts them. Her father waited on her and she continued. She raised her head to see the same smile on her father's face."Did you take your time to go through this?" "It wasn't necessary, I went through the first page and it sounds fine. You should enjoy your marriage with him, he has come to help you. Help us get better in society."Mr Mason promised he won't regard Joshua as anything prominent and he did just as he said with Mr Hudson he would be able to conquer the whole of Vancouver and beyond and competing with the Stark will mean a great revolution and he would turn into a founding father of another Fox company; a reborn revolt."Father, do you even know what these papers are!" She flung her two hands in the air and then retired t
" I was meeting with a client." He simply replied."A client? But the picture shows you went to a booth with her. Is she just a client?" She cocked her head at him with a devilish grin and Joshua lost for words looked at his wristwatch."Were you there?" He simply asked her and went into his car."No, but I…" she muffed air out of her mouthThat was the reply the girl didn't see coming. Before she could recover the car revved into the highway. 'That was pretty harsh.'"Joshua, that was quite a display there," Cassie says, drinking from the glass he handed over to her."That would make you your social media and your library popular, do you like it?" He replied to her. She marvelled at how accurate Joshua calculated things. From turning social scandal into an advantage. Not what she expected but she loved it.She kept talking but Joshua rested his head on the seat and closed his eyes pretending to be sleeping. His throat moved from base to head in a succession.When they arrived at t
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
