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
Dylan walked into the prison gates his thoughts wrapped around the two mystery cases he was taking too long to solve. For the longest of times a part of him had told him he had convicted the wrong man, but the evidence was too strong to conflict that idea. Greeting the officer in charge, he was led straight to the man he had requested to see, finding him already awaiting him"Dominic...You don't look too good." he said taking the opposite seat"What do you want?" asked the poor fellow looking quite unpleasant, a bushy unkempt beard covering the most part of his face"I know non of us believed you when you said you did not murder that man, but I have been looking into you Dominic and a whole lot of things do not make sense to me at all.""I did not kill anyone. Darian approached me and offered me money in exchange for my boss' daughter Helen. The money was a lot i could not refuse so i agreed and that was the last time i saw the man
Richard was amongst the last people to enter the meeting room before being graced by the president's presence. The men, eight of them excluding the president sat staring back at the man in whose hands was the position every single one of them desired. Richard was quite confident it was him, and there was no way he was going to have spilled blood just so another man could harvest the fruits of his labor"Gentlemen...thank you for availing yourselves this afternoon. Well it is in my hands to appoint a new Vice president and i found one from amongst you." there was a little chattering and clearing of throats before the attention was thrown back to the president"I know all of you deserve this post, you all work hard but somebody has to be chosen right?""That's correct Mr President." the murmured in response"Now allow me to cut straight to the chase. I thought long and hard about this decision and i still feel its the best. Gentlemen
"You do drink don't you?" asked Helen as they entered club Midnight that late afternoon finding quite a number of people already chilled inside. It was fast approaching 6pm and that was the time when the club would begin to start getting packed."Yes i do but i won't drink much today. I don't wanna go home drunk.""Come let me help you." said Helen helping her sit by the usual spot near the bartender, "What will you have?""Let me have a mulled cider. It will do." she said"Well i hoped we would drink to get drunk today.""And who will drive us home?""I will call my driver. So can we do it?" asked Helen persuasively"That sounds tempting but nop." Julia responded with a laugh, "But you drink i will look out for you.""Haha i should be the one looking out for you here so promise we will come again and have fun.""I promise." she said as the bartender handed then two g
