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

"Will you stop that already! You have been on it for the past thirty minutes!" Joshua says to his friend.The guy had been roaming around the room non stop, only stopping to fill up his wine glass "I'm frustrated i am pissed i have never been this miserable in my entire life!Why did this have to happen why did i have to meet her i was just minding my own business bro and to top it up she is just some blind girl she is supposed to have eyes and not my heart!" "Julia?" "Yes i mean who else?!

After a long and exhausting flight Helen was just but glad to finally arrive home that late afternoon. She could not wait to meet her family but above all, her secret love. If her brother ever found out about that one he wouldn't hesitate to shove her into the next available flight and fly her back to Qatar. Laughing at that silly thought she got out of the plane and made her way to meet whoever was there to welcome her. She hoped her dad or even her annoying brother had come but like always non of them were there, only the guards. Sighing in disappointment, she handed over her bags and paced out of the airport to shove herself into the blue mercedes which immediately drove off."Where is my father?" she asked the driver who remained mute."Driver...?" she took off her shades and it was then that she realised she did not know the man driving her."Where is Dominic? Who are you?!" she asked but the man remained silent his dark shades not doing any jus
"Who was that?" Helen asked as soon as Darian got off the call"Your saviour. He is coming to save you, happy?""Raymond?""No. Joshua. He likes to play hero and parades himself like he is the king of the underworld. I will show him i play better than him when he gets here. He stepped on the wrong toes this time." Helen could not help but gawk at the monster standing before her. She was worried about Joshua the most now and hoped he brings someone along hopefully the police else Darian would hurt him"Why would you want Joshua here alone and what has it all got to do with me...with us? Who are you?""Well darling you will get to know soon. If he does not show up here by seven i will feast on you in a way that will haunt you for life. So pray he shows up!""But why do you have so many men to capture one person? Please, please dont hurt Joshua please i am begging you." she said struggling to control her tears. Scary looking Darian shot h
Helen was now shaking and crying while tied onto the uncomfortable wooden chair. Her eyes remained shut afraid to open and see what Darian had done to Joshua. It was then that a hand touched her and she cried louder eyes still shut"Helen its me dont cry i am here." the familiar voice had her open one eye before opening both and when she looked around she saw a struggling Darian lying on the floor blood oozing from his stomach. Joshua was quick to untie her and help her to her feet in a bid to leave the place as soon as possible"Josh..." he gasped struggling to even breath properly. Helen held on to Joshua for dear life and it was the first time she had seen anything of that sort, a man lying in a pool of blood struggling to utter a word and about to die. She had only seen it in the movies"Next time you want to kill someone, do a whole body search." with that he pulled Helen out with him leaving Darian hardly holding on to dear life. Upon stepping out Helen tr
"I cant remember the last time i bought a pair if sneakers i should get some." said Raymond hands on the steering as they drove into town."How is Helen?""She is coping. It will not be easy but she will surpass it.I know she will.""Thats good. I took care of Dominic so you should not worry.""If i meet that son of a b***h i will kill him myself.""He is going to jail. All the happenings of last night at the warehouse i ensured they connect him to the crime scene, he will be gone for a very long time.""He better." he said pulling over outside a fancy looking boutique, "Are you coming?""And be a third wheel?No thanks.""Please man you have better taste in shoes come choose for me come on." Joshua reluctantly opened the door and got out. The two gentlemen headed into the shop and were glad there were just a few customers loitering around"Be nice. Dont fight please.""Tell that to your girlfriend." sa
It was around eight when Raymond dropped Joshua home. He locked the door upon entering and helped himself to a bowel of noodles being the bachelor he was before settling on the couch and switching on the television. Tuning to the news channel the news of Dominic taking out seven men all at once and the date of his trial were making the headlines and he could only but smile within knowing fully well that it was all his doing. The head of police then gave a statement in regards to how Dominic still was not giving away the identity of the notorious masterjay who some refered to as the master of the guns because of his illegal weaponry operations."We do not have the identity of the mystery man yet but we are still pushing, if Dominic had a rivalry with Darian brutal enough to assassinate him then he has to know who masterjay is. He will crack soon.""You bet!" Joshua mumbled switching off the television and treading to his study where he spent most of his nigh
As soon as they got home, Julia managed to get Mandy to sleep. She had cried the entire journey and she was grateful for the next day being a Sunday meaning no work. Sitting next to a sleeping Amanda her phone rang followed by a wide grin upon seeing the caller's identity"Miss me?""A lot. How was your day?""Hectic hey it was a long one. Amanda left Steve.""It was about time. That pig did not deserve her. How is she though?""She is trying. She is asleep now she really needs it." she said sparing Amanda a glance, "And how was your day?""I wanted to come see you but got tied up at the office. A lot is happening these days i am sorry for my divided attention.""Its okay my love i understand.""Still grocery shopping tomorrow? I will come with you.""I will love that. I doubt Amanda would like to come with me she needs space.""See you tomorrow then. I love you.""And i you." she cut the call then go
