2021-06-14 16:07:55"Ra..Raymond? Is that you?" she stuttered her eyes blinking wildly and filling up the whole place.
"Yeah...are you okay?" asked Joshua still standing by the kitchen counter his stare never leaving her. He could not shake off the feeling he felt when she walked into the house. They had locked eyes, and for a moment he was sure she was staring at him"I'm fine...I will come to bed later i want to meditate for a bit.""That's okay...are you sure you are okay?" he asked Julia who was already walking away"I am fine. Go get some sleep okay?""Okay." he answered as his stare accompanied her till she disappeared into her study room. There was more than what met the eye for Joshua when it came to Julia and he had always brushed it off. He was a freelance assassin and it had made him highly observant of his surroundings and the people he associated with and that applied to Julia as well. She had never been to his house, yet sheRelated chapters

"What was that about?" asked Tim just as Helen tried walking away"Nothing. Just mind your own business!""I am sure your father would love to hear that the police are suddenly after his daughter." he said earning all her attention. She had promised never to tell anyone and that included her father"Timothy. What exactly is your problem why is it so difficult for you to understand that i don't want to be with you what?!""So you do know what happened to Darian don't you? So Dominic is innocent...where were you that day Helen? Even i found it odd that you came home quite late.""If you still love your job, and still want to work for my father stay out of my business. I am very sure my father would love hearing about what you have been doing with his

The long, boring and uncomfortable dinner eventually came to an end with Julia noticing stares being thrown her way by both men. She hardly had her dinner and faked smiles till the end as she tried to come up with an ultimate explanation. She knew Raymond would ask why she lied, and yet she still had not come up with a tangible lie."I guess i will see you around then." said Grace grinning widely at her."How innocent. " she thought to herself, "Poor girl doesn't know what she is getting herself into." she thought as her stare located another poor soul whose advances towards Joshua kept hitting rock bottom, Helen."Did you hear me? You look lost are you okay?""Yeah...yeah totally! Did you say something?"asked Julia, her fake grin looking as real as ever"I said i will see you around. Now that we will be wives to best friends i thought we would make great friends on our own. What do you think?""I would lo

Awkward. That was the exact word to describe the happenings in Joshua's house. After hearing from Raymond about what Julia had said to him, he had tried his best never to cross paths with her within the house. They were hardly in each other's company and Joshua had relocated into the spare room. Now that was the sudden definition of awkward"Avoiding me won't solve anything you know." her voice startled him just as he was about to walk out of the house. That was the first time they had spoken in almost a week thus ever since he found out"Why did you do it?""What?""Why did you lie about being blind since birth? You may have swayed Raymond off that topic but i am not Raymond so why did you lie?""Like you said you are not Raymond, so i am not answering any question coming from you.""Why do i get the vibe that you are hiding more than you have let out Julia? My gut feeling is never wrong." he asked making

Timothy stealthily walked into his boss' office after being summoned. His mind was still on suspicious Helen whom he had found pacing to and fro in the living room as soon as he walked in. She looked very troubled and concluded it must have been the police issue, making him want to know why she was hiding what had happened and what truly had happened that night. Surely she had not killed all those men and saved herself, there was someone else but who? "Sit Tim." he said to the lad whose concentration was quick to get back to him, the last thing he would want was Richard popping his nose into the matter, he may end up finding out more than he should "I did tell you about k53 right?" "Yes boss. Do you have new plans?" "Yes, and i think i may know how to neutralize the president. But the plan has holes in it." "How do you mean sir?" "I was planning of sending one of my own after the lad, then remove him permanently

After letting a grumpy Julia rest her arm on his, the "happy couple" walked into the club getting swallowed in the lingering darkness which was rather strange. Few moments ago the club was well lit and full life yet..."Surprise!!!" the sound of that scared the both of them as the room lit up. It was well decorated looking nothing like a club and a limited number of formally dressed men and women scattered all around. The duo was quick to scan the place both of them equally shocked, wasn't it supposed to be a brand launch of some sort? Or were they lost? A light applause slapped them back to reality as a short grumpy man of fair complexion surfaced from the crowd, he was of age probably in his fifties and on his face was a half smile filled with both fear and happiness. He wasn't sure on how to go about it and Julia on the other hand was sure she had seen him somewhere before"Ricky? I thought...""You will have to forgive us sire...well we tho

Joshua found himself drawing her closer and finding comfort in what he knew was wrong. It was as if nobody else was there, just two of them and their intense stares had him seeing his lost lover in Julia and that was not the first time it had happened. The day he had accompanied her shopping was another incident still fresh in his head, he had caught her when she was about to fall, and strangely it had reminded him of her, of Melissa. Just as he roamed his hands around her back as they kissed, she was immediately snatched away and before he knew it, a hard blow landed on his left cheek his lip cracking open. Silent murmurs followed and Joshua found himself staring back at his best friend while instinctively wiping off the blood oozing from the opening"Ray....""Shut up!" screamed Raymond making everyone go mute. Besides, it wasn't a shocker that Joshua was in trouble. He had been attacked at the club more times than they could remember mostly when a busine

The journey back home was spent in awkward silence. Julia sat all quiet right next to Joshua, her hands holding on tight to her walking stick and if it had a voice it would have screeched out in pain. The gate automatically opened as soon as they approached and Joshua was the first to get out of car. As he approached Julia's door he felt rather nervous. He had kissed women as a once off and walked off with no feelings attached, but the nerves this time were getting the better of him, especially having briefly mistaken her for Melissa at the club. He knew she died, but who was this woman making him see his lost love in her? He eventually opened the door and let her out as they walked straight into the house."I uhm...I'm sorry i didn't mean to kiss you its just that...""Its okay...didn't mean to kiss you either." he said walking up the stairs and straight into his study banging the door afterwards. Julia looked on for a while a lot of wild and weird thought

After a moment of silence, Joshua uncomfortably cleared his throat and turned to meet Julia's hopeful gaze. He wondered if she had by chance went through his private things but no, she was blind there was no way, so how did she know his name? Even Raymond didn't know it nobody did. Choosing to ignore how she had called him he opened his mouth to protest but she took a step closer, her eyes boring into his and that was it, his suspicions were confirmed. She wasn't blind at all"I uhm...i will clear this mess." he turned to leave but she beat him to it. She ran to block his way, staring intensely into his eyes"Its you right? You are Harris...its you right?""I don't know what you are talking about." he shoved her aside but she held on to his hand yet he wouldn't turn to look at her, his uncertainty getting the better of him. He knew Mel had died in that incident there was no way she would have survived, she was in the house when it exploded he h

Joshua made a slight knock before entering Raymond's house a whole three months later. It had been one hell of a task for all of them to live through the trauma, and even harder to tell Helen since she was pregnant but Raymond did still, she had to know. Non of them had healed since then but they were trying "Hey." he said walking over to the bed where he sat with a pile of papers work subsequently being the only thing keeping him sane. "Hey come on in." he smiled carefully placing the papers away before going to join him on the couch. Joshua helped himself to the wine on the little table before him, pouring another glass for Raymond. Nothing was the same anymore, and that was the first time they were seeing each other since that dreaded day "I just wanted to check on you." said Joshua with a sip. Raymond gulped the wine liquid at one go, then poured in more "How have you been? I'm sorry i couldn't reach out i just..." "Its okay. You don't hav

Julia felt like puking, and Raymond froze in place. As for Joshua, he was still trying to understand what in the world was happening at that point. Almost a whole minute passed with all four quiet, the revelations sinking in. It was then that the sent guard walked in with a singles mattress and a blanket. He went on to carefully place quivering Julia on it and covered her with the blanket, the four victims still wound up in their different thoughts"Whoaa wait wait what the hell did you just say to Julia?!" fumed Raymond forcing himself out of Joshua's grip and he similarly did not bother to shove him back. He was too baffled to"You were not going to shoot me were you?" mumbled Raymond"Of course not!" cursed Joshua his gaze finding his wife, "What do you mean bombed our farm what are you talking about?" he asked further confusing a confusion struck Raymond"You know what? How about we let father do all the talking and we do all t

Julia had subsequently grown numb from all the pain, her feet being something she wasn't sure she still had. She struggled to open her eyes, eyelids heavy and body threatening to pass out. She released a painful cough, her gaze sweeping around the area and she realize she could no longer see properly. Everything seemed blurry, and a voice had her turning to trace it"Boss, at this rate she might die. She is weak." one of the men said. Richard walked closer and examined her. Although her vision was blurred, she could see him looking closely into her scarred face, she wished he would kill her already, the pain being unbearable any longer. But before she died, she saw it as a chance to satisfy her curiosity. Why did this family possess a picture her mother possessed as well. Maybe she once worked for them they were a rich family, and her mother was a maid"The...that picture." she whispered just as she let out a dry cough, blood almost splattering on Richard

Ricky felt like he was in some car racing tournament moments after he told Joshua the truth. Joshua wanted to get home at that point, he couldn't just go to Richards house he was unarmed. All he wanted was to arm himself and then leave. But he still couldn't figure out why Julia would be in a dungeon in Richard's house."Did he find out about their relationship?" he asked himself but there was no true telling to that. Another possibility crept in, Julia was an assassin, so maybe Richard had been the target? But he immediately dismissed it, Julia wouldn't kill Raymond's father she loved him. Or so he thought. After struggling to come up with a possibility that makes sense Joshua and Ricky finally arrived home. He immediately got out of the car but was greeted by a sharp pain to his chest. He was still bandaged and his wound not fully recovered, but that was the least of his problems. He wanted Julia in the house, in his sight and safe! He didn't care what she trained in

Richard wore a black shirt, knee length pair of shorts and sandals walking into the room. Besides the three guards he walked in with, two more came in both carrying torches which immediately lit up the room. Julia looked at the six men staring her down and felt like she was going to collapse. She felt very hungry and was consequently losing her strength, but there was no way she was going down without a fight"Young lady, you came into the lion's den, all by yourself and now you are tied like a criminal in the dungeon awaiting your miserable death." he said stooping down to her level and staring at her cold eyes"Yes i did it. I bombed the place. But for me to kill a beautiful young woman like yourself will be completely uncalled for don't you think? But then again if i hadn't caught you who knows what you would have done?" Julia spit into his face further infuriating him. Out of nowhere a cold hard slap landed on her face while Richard stood to his feet cl

"So she is a thief too." scoffed Richard as the guards pulled her away. He picked up the broken frame and looked at it now left on his own. He closed the door and walked over to his seat, his eyes still set on the picture particularly at Helen. She was all he thought about, and she wasn't on her own in that cell but with his grandchild. And now Raymond on the other hand had witnessed a part of his brutality first hand after all the work he had put in to ensure his children never witness any of his dirty deeds. It had happened and there was no way to reverse it Raymond would have to get over it. But somehow it still got to him how he had failed his children. He felt like he had lost the bet his ego felt bruised. He was already getting sleepless nights because of Helen, the media creating all sorts of stories about his family and now Raymond was about to hate him for what he had witnessed. He felt as if his ex wife was right when she told him he can never be a good father to the child
A BLOOD STAINED 'I DO' CHAPTER 51
Raymond walked out of his room following the screaming and stood by the door stunned by the guards trying to kick the locked door open. Julia was the first person that came to his mind, and he immediately ran over just as the door was kicked to the floor. Raising his gaze, he met with an unfamiliar face, the clothing on her body being the only familiar thing to him. They were Julia's pyjamas. But why was she in Julia's pyjamas in fact, where was Julia?"******The rest of the girls ran into the house to witness whatever commotion was happening while Julia rolled the paper she had been reading and shoved it back into her skirts. She could feel the discomfort of having both the papers and the picture underneath her skirts but she wasn't letting any of them go, all she wanted was to get out of that place as soon as she can. She was beginning to realize the amount of danger she was slowly drowning into and to worsen the situation, she was completely unarmed. Ch

"This room is amazing! Look at this!" said the girl lifting up a flower vase as soon as Tinashe left"It is. Its amazing." she responded her eyes lingering anywhere and everywhere. It was a beautiful room, a medium sized book shelf stationed by one of the corners books neatly stacked. Her eyes found their way to his bedside where there was a picture of Helen then on the right side a picture of Raymond. His kids were indeed his life"Isn't sir Raymond so handsome? I wouldn't mind spending the rest of my life just looking at him." said the girl lifting up the picture, "I wouldn't mind sir Joshua either, he is so beautiful!" she said snapping Julia back to reality"You know Joshua?" she asked clearly aghast. The girl spared her a stunned look before placing back the picture"Don't be funny Thuba weren't we drooling over him was it last year lost your memory? And why does your voice sound different?" she said shocking Julia
