Groaning in frustration, Joshua pulled himself to his feet and looked at the dead man before him. He had him, he was moments away from getting his answer but no, one small mistake had cost him and he was back to square one. A gunshot then sounded making him remember what he had left behind. He then ran back to the ship and upon arriving the ship had been driven back to the shore and the door flung open revealing a number of young women flocking out one after the other. He walked over to help them out of the ship and that was when it dawned on him that they were the cargo, Kenneth was trafficking them away
"Come on let me help you." he said to one who seemed hesitant to take his hand, "Its okay i wont harm you, you are safe now." the girl stretched out her shaky hand and Joshua helped her out. It took him a while to get the girls out of the ship before the real hero appeared and like him the person's face was half covered
"You must be A.S.1. It was nice working wi
Tapping her way into the house Amanda enveloped her in a hug both of them almost taking to the floor"You are hurting me!" said Julia in between giggles but Amanda would not let go till a moment later"Do you know how worried i was? Why were you not picking my calls Raymond just left he was worried too!""Relax okay?" she said locking the door and walking in, "The bus died down and it took over three hours for them to fix it i am so hungry what are we eating?""Food? You better call Raymond right now poor guy is worried sick..! Wait is that blood on your dress?" said Amanda looking closer"I happened to nose bleed because of the heat its nothing worrisome. You shouldn't worry so much i can take care of myself more than you know Mandy. Now can i get something to eat?""Not before you call Raymond. Call him and i will get you your food." she said heading into the kitchen leaving Julia dialing Raymond's number. She looked over at worried Amanda
Days flew by fast with the police trying to dig in more into the Kenneth issue, Helen trying to figure out her master plan and the two friends figuring out how to keep the marriage as private as they could. The plan was to make Joshua pretend to be Raymond for as long as he can but that had Joshua laughing loud and asking the ultimate question"What happens on the wedding night?" he asked at some point when they were out for a drink at the club"I will kill you if you touch her." he snapped making Joshua laugh again."You do know that this plan is lame right?""I know, more please." he said to the bartender already looking drunk. It was final Joshua was driving them home that night. In two nights he was getting married all thanks to friendship and there was nothing he was going to do about it.****"You are quite generous Julia. If i were you i would never have agreed to a court wedding, not when i am marrying a loaded man like Raymond
Helen woke up the next morning head pounding and unable to remember most of the happenings of the previous night. As she tried to recall more the contents of her stomach flew right back threatening to spill out and it was then that she ran into the bathroom to vomit. Spitting out the venom she recalled pacing upstairs and entering the study finding Joshua cozily sitted by his study table scrolling down his phone. She did remember giving him the spiked juice but how come she was the one who passed out? Dragging herself out of the bathroom she walked in on her ringing phone but ignored it seeing that it was Timothy. She was beyond frustrated, how could such a brilliant plan fail? Dragging herself back into the bathroom she took a quick bath then paced out to go look for Joshua******All alone, Julia woke up the earliest feeling both nervous and excited, although she was getting married in secret atleast she was marrying the love of her life and the fact that it was sudd
A number of shiny black cars pulled over by the police station before a number of men in similarly black suits walked out to open the door for a smiling Richard. He walked out of the car and was embraced by numerous clicking sounds of cameras and journalists trying to get an insight for their stories. Squeezing his way past them his guards helped get him into the police station smoothly to meet anxious prosecutor Dylan Shumba"Minister sir...thank you for availing yourself. To my office please." he said leading a reluctant Richard to the office by the corner where he settled down at the back of his mind calculating his answers"I heard you were looking for me at the office prosecutor. Ensure that never happens again you caused a scene.""Well i am sorry sir, i can say i was just doing my job.""Just ensure it never happens again." he said firmly, tone full of threat"I would like to ask you a few questions sir in regards to the death of Kenneth Khe
Helen and Raymond quietly walked into the court attracting Joshua's attention. He looked at Helen who winked at him then at expressionless Raymond but that was an explanation for later"You may proceed and sign the papers." said the judge making Joshua hold Julia's hand as they moved forward. Julia tensed at his touch but Joshua ignored it, trying by all means not to mess it all up"Your touch, its different." she whispered once Joshua let go as he signed the papers"What do you mean by different?" he asked simply, as if he had no idea what she meant"I don't know. But maybe i am just nervous." she said as Joshua helped her sign the paper as well, "We are married now!" she squealed in excitement as she hugged him, "I love you.""Hmm...i uhm...yeah me too." he reluctantly hugged her back and the crowd cheered for the newly weds as they walked over to congratulate them. Raymond looked at poor happy Julia feeling guilty a
Joshua woke up quite late which was rather unusual for him. Turning to the other side of the bed he found nobody, she wasn't there. He made his way to the bathroom took a quick bath before heading out reality sinking in. He was a married man now and should act as one. He was now partly Raymond and had to act like him"Morning babe." a voice called out once he walked out of his room. Unsure of what to do he walked down the stairs gave her a light forehead kiss before looking into the pots"You are quite amusing. How did you gather all these?" he asked picking a slice from one of the two plates"Well i woke up quite early in order to familiarize myself with the place. I had to feel my way around. Are you impressed?""I am. Its rather surprising but i am. Now go sit down i will serve you.""No you sit i will do it.""I insist, please." Unable to argue any longer Julia slow paced her way into the dining room h
It was now night-time and all Raymond wanted was to finish up the whole bottle of whiskey and then slip into dreamland but his father would not have any of it. Dragging himself out of his room heeding his father's call he walked into his study, knowing fully well what they wanted to discuss "You look like a mess." he said but got no response. Brushing it off, he sipped the last bit of the blood red liquid then placed the glass away, ready to talk business "I hear Joshua got married. How come i know nothing about it?" Raymond took a moment to craft his response, trying hard not to show his frustration "It was a private wedding. You know Joshua does his own things." "I see. I never thought he would settle for a blind girl but i'm just glad it is not you. You have Grace to please so no funny business." he said voice firm and commanding making Raymond nod with hesitance. All his life he had always done what his father had asked and there w
Slowly opening the door and closing it after herself, Helen was oblivious of her old man sitting on the couch as she treaded past him on her way to her room. Richard knowing her fully well chose to give her some space to cool down before talking to her, not knowing the dilemma she had placed herself into. He then turned his attention back to the soccer match while Helen dragged herself into her room which she locked before treading into the bathroom for a quick shower all sorts of thoughts running in and out of her head. Never in her life did she ever think she will find herself in such an unforgiving situation."How could i have been so stupid!" she cursed as the cold water flowed from head to toe. It was a soothing feeling considering the blazing sun outside but not soothing enough to save her from herself. She was not willing to risk losing her womb and neither was she willing to have Timothy father the child. It was Joshua she wanted and if she was ever going to hav
