★★ Julia pushed the door to her father's room with a heavy heart, and a strong medicine stench hit her nose. “Dad!!” Julia called her father after noticing a figure on the bed with closed eyes, appearing frail and dehydrated. She walked to her father with a heavy heart. Her father's health suffered as a result of the pain she brought. How could she possibly forgive her? "How are you, Father?" Julia sobbed quietly. Countless tears fell from her eyes as she examined her father's condition. She was the only one to blame. Caressing her father’s head, she pulled out her phone to call the doctor. That was when her father opened his eyes and a ray of joy flashed in them. “Julia, my daughter,” he weakly said. “Yes, Father,” Julia replied, bringing her face close to her father. She said, “Dad, I am sorry. I am not a filial daughter, also created trouble for you but Dad, I was played. Your daughter didn’t want anything like that.” “I believe you,” her father’s weak voice said and instant
★★ “Julius!" Julia cried as she flung open the door to her friend's home. Her eyes yearned to see her child and feel the love. She really wanted to hold on to her son in order to feel less helpless and alone. “Hush! He has fallen asleep waiting for you all evening,” Sussan quickly informed her, then narrowed her eyes and inquired, “Have you cried?” “No!" Julia made an excuse, "No, just dust bothering my eyes," and stepped up to the couch to take a seat. She closed her eyes and collapsed into the couch. “Have you met your dad?" Sussan enquired because she was aware of the specific type of dust that Julia would find most irritating. Julia murmured, raking her fingers through her hair, "Yes, and I let him down as a daughter." “Possibly you did!!” Sussan comforted Julia by saying, "But I think you were obligated to do that.” Sussan coaxed Julia with comforting words. She knew Julia wouldn't have an easy life in another country."Life is a challenge. And time is a teacher who educates
★★★ ‘Why does this man resemble my son? Like a carbon replica of Julius. Please, Lord, don't tell me he's connected to my son.' Julia's stomach grumbled as her terrible thoughts scratched the surface of her heart. “Joshua,” the man introduced himself. Julia glanced at the man and his moving lips as he spoke something, but nothing reached her mind since Julia was drowning in her problem. “Sorry... I-I didn’t catch that,” She said while being cognizant of the situation. Her mind was a mess. On the other hand, if somebody did do that, it would be an insult to Joshua. However, he seemed to be extremely relaxed with Julia; someone he met in a unique circumstance. “Joshua is my name,” Joshua grinned as he introduced himself to the woman, who he could see didn't want to talk to him for very long. "Pardon me! I have arrived in the incorrect room. I'm leaving now," Julia hurriedly said, hoping that this wicked person wouldn't cause her any trouble. She had kicked him earlier because he h
★★★“How are things going?"As soon as they left the room, Zach queried. Julia placed her palm on her left chest and took a few breaths in and out before replying, "Thank you, Zach. If you didn't show up, I'm not sure what I'd do."“Exactly what's wrong?”Zach looked down at Julia and said, "Seems like you know my uncle."Although she smiled in response to his question, the concern was visible as sweat stains on her forehead.“I just had the worst talk with your uncle. I didn't want any problems to come my way,” Julia breathed a sigh, and continued, “Having no way out, I did this. I'm sorry!!” Julia murmured, concealing a vital point from him. Julia didn't mind if the guy revealed the truth to Zach after she was gone.But Julia would be relieved that there would be no squabbles between them from now on, and she would no longer be the center of attention.“He's aloof, quiet, and, well, difficult to govern. Nobody wants to misbehave around him. I recognize your discomfort, so don't be al
★★★ The following morning Julia left to meet the manager of the company where Sussan was employed, as per Sussan's request that if everything went well, she might end up working there. She wore a white top and a black skirt with her hair in a ponytail and aligned with flat shoes in order to prevent tripping. To get to the company, she traveled a short distance to the taxi stand. She had to leave Julius for several hours, which made her restless. He sobbed before listening to his mum. When he heard about his grandfather, who was injured and alone, his heart began to tremble. Julius discovered that in addition to caring for him, his mother also looked after his grandfather. Before pressing the phone number displayed on the screen, Julia pondered if she should call Julius. Sussan informed Julia that since her son was preoccupied with trains. As Julia hung up the phone, putting her anxieties aside, a faint smile spread across her lips. "What a lovely smile, sister! Have you found a
★★★ Julia leaned her head back on the seat and gave her a moment of peace to stabilize herself. If this was trust and love she had once cherished dearly, many thanks to fate, she could see how weak the support she would get if she married him. “Excuse me, your stop,” the driver informed Julia, who had forgotten that she was heading somewhere, and with closed eyes, she seemed to have fallen asleep, according to the driver. Julia awkwardly opened her eyes, gave him the cash with a pursed grin, and got out of the car. Since she didn't know anyone when she entered the company, she felt nervous, but there was nothing she could do about it. Nobody would help her if she didn't do something for herself. She moved to the reception area after letting her gaze stray. “Please excuse me; I have an appointment with Mr. Denver for the new editor position.” “We have to get going, Madam. A visitor is set to arrive at the company. Sorry to be rude, but I'm unable to call him. You can, however, us
★★★ “I will not be spared today if he sees me.” When the curses failed to explain her circumstance, Julia whispered under her breath, "What I fear the most will happen if this devil's eyes lie on me.” In order to avoid being seen by the man she detested, she lowered her down as low as her neck would allow. Literally!! “Sir, I’m the manager,” Denver introduced himself, putting his feet forward and separating himself from the crowd. He had sheer confidence on his face.Joshua cast a wary glance in the direction of the man who was actually on his wanted list since he had sent her to the hotel the night before to submit the file. The girl would have been dead by now if she wasn’t Zach’s girlfriend. Joshua roared inside. “What sort of job did you have going on last night that you needed a woman's aid with when your arms and legs are still there? What do you know about that woman?” Joshua thundered. The manager was caught off guard by Joshua and questioned whether it was a crime to s
★★ ‘Couple of knocks!! Heavy breathing!!' Julia was frightened.“You may enter.” When Julia heard his cruel voice, her rage increased. Additionally, she made a smiley face before going in because she did not want that the devil to point it out and put her into a tight situation. She entered by pushing open the door. With both hands in his pockets, Joshua was standing by the large glass window. He appeared serene and profound, as Julia could tell from the side of his face. If someone loved a silent storm, they could gaze at it for as long as it brought them serenity. “Fuck! Why am I thinking this?” If she was able to, Julia would spit. She just shook her head and dismissed her ideas for the moment. “I need a glass of lukewarm water,” Joshua ordered. When Julia wandered her eyes in the room, she discovered a kettle where she might make hot water. Julia did not answer. Instead, she went to the kettle, connected it to the board, and then paused for a moment before pouring the liquid
Six months later ★★★ Like a royal palace, the villa had been garlanded with blooms. An uproar could be heard everywhere. One after another, upscale cars could be seen pulling up. A wedding took place in the garden. People were seated in two rows that had been partitioned, and the bride and groom would stand on a stunningly garish stage. Gary and Artin accompanied Joshua to the stage while waiting for the bride. Joshua was anxious despite his best efforts to appear confident. Julia had stated that she would consider getting married after having their second kid, but after putting up with so much of his intransigence, she finally gave in. It didn't take long for Julia to show up at the location with her father, hooking her hand around his arm. She looked ethereal in a white gown, and her baby bulge could be seen peeking out. Not to be forgotten, Julius was chosen to carry the rings. The admiration in people's eyes for Julius was unavoidable. They were all cheering an
★★★Julia's eyes grew brighter as she exited the car and as the lights on the villa came on as if the festival were at the door.“Wow! What is this?” Asked Julia, turning her attention to Joshua who pushed her skirt's wrinkly corner downward.To ensure she wouldn't accidentally move it, her left hand was bound to her shoulder.“Humph! They decided to do something to make you feel welcome."Joshua told her, his gaze drawn to her stunned expression. He didn't imagine she would enjoy this juvenile nonsense. Otherwise, he would light up the building for the rest of their lives.“It is too much,” Julia mumbled and stepped up toward the vast entrance of the hall room. She heard no sound of her people, but she could definitely tell they were hiding to surprise her.As soon as she entered, she could hear shouting in all directions.“Welcome, Julia!!” Sussan shouted, followed by Julius, “Welcome, Mum!”Julia smiled brightly while revealing her teeth. After scanning everyone, she stopp
★★★Julia smiled as she waited for the door to close, then turned to face Joshua. “How can you deliberately hurt a child?” she questioned, her eyes shooting anger at Joshua, who sliced her words with an uncaring attitude.He leaned forward and placed a kiss on her lips.“ I suddenly feel like we haven’t enjoyed much time together,” Joshua whispered, then went up to her forehead and placed a loving kiss there.“I love you, Julia.”With an unexpected wind spin sensation entering her gut, Julia stiffened. On the surface of her heart, a tiny deer was prancing. Before today, she had no idea how enthralled by his revelation she would become; she was not only delighted but also over the moon.Joshua’s warm breath fell on Julia’s face as they both fixed their gaze on one other, their hearts were thumping in the protracted quiet.The powerful impulses in Julia’s heart caused her to blink more often than usual. Part of her wanted to fight until he confessed his love to her once more, but
★★★As soon as they arrived at the hospital, Julia was rushed straight to the surgery room. Julius had moved onto the specialty ward as well. Gary and Artin had been holding Joshua back, but they soon felt Joshua collapse to the seat.They experienced a day that let them understand what it was like to lose someone. The pain of compulsion was so hazardous!But God could not be cruel to them.★★★One Week LaterJulia was transported to a garden with a pleasant floral aroma. Her eyes were mesmerized by the beauty of the newly blooming flowers, and although she was unable to say their names, this did not detract from her enjoyment. She crossed her legs as she sat on a lovely cushion.With a deep inhale, Julia murmured,“ It's magnificent."The warm sun penetrated her flesh as it cut the cold from her soul, making Julia feel alive and refreshed.Suddenly a gentle voice flowed into her ears, “Mum.”"Mum!"Julia was compelled to listen for the gentle voice. She was familiar with th
★★★ Joshua was being closely followed by Artin and Gary in the back, but suddenly, they were being yanked back by ropes around their throats. As they battled to breathe, the rifles in their hands fell to the ground. Joshua, on the other hand, forced himself up off the ground and jerked his head. Although there was little light, he could feel a stinging pain in his browbone. He had a steady gaze, focused on that person. In contrast, a gaslight turned on and a familiar face emerged. The man said, “Remember me, boss.” “Snake!” Joshua exclaimed. “Nice to meet you. So, you are working for a woman now. Suits you,” Joshua mocked and launched forward with his tight fist that landed on that man’s nose. Prior to being kicked out of the organization for defrauding Joshua of his business, Snake had previously been working with them. “I’ve been itching to kill you for a while. The day finally came. Oh, yes, I need to tell you,” the man smirk with his bloody nose and continued, “I vented all
★★★Joshua entered the house through the door that was already open, but even if it hadn't been, it wouldn't have made much of a difference because he wouldn't have bothered if he had to smash it. But as he entered and bumped into the bleeding body, his feet shook. There was blood all over the floor; it was impossible to tell if it was this man’s or if something had occurred to Julia and his son.“Boss, this, Miss Julia’s jewelry, and her handbag were discovered outdoors. Someone might,” Artin said and entered, but he was not required to finish the rest. He could see that his presumption was accurate. They were clearly taken by someone.Gary proclaimed, “I told it, we ought to assassinate Benjamin.”For the first time, Gary spoke about a subject on his own initiative rather than following instructions because he was aware of the significance Miss Julia and her son had for Joshua.“No, the perpetrator of this action cannot be Benjamin. He wants the boss to be at his disposal, but
★★★ Joshua exhibited childlike excitement as though he was about to receive his preferred surprise. His eyes were fixating on the image of the mother and son in his hand. In the picture, their smiles were beaming like the brightest sunshine of his life. He was simply angry with Julia for not telling him once, and that was it. Because Joshua was longing to have a child with her, but in reality, they already had one and Julia hid it. “Oh, Julia!! I will kill you. You deserve the harshest punishment!” Joshua thought but could not able to remove the smile from his lips. He held the picture close to his chest and ordered, “Drive faster!” Gary and Artin both nodded in tandem before accelerating the car. ★★ After absorbing such news, people in the mansion had already left. But they could not able to digest the entire occurrence, which hadn't made it to their stomachs; instead, it had stuck to their throats. Joshua's grandfather could not help but yearn to see his great-grandson's face.
★★★ In his black outfit, Joshua resembled a magnificent angel. He could still kill thousands of women's hearts while maintaining a straight face, but within he was unhappy since the message came from her. It made him shatter. His heart felt as heavy as a stone that had been purposefully placed, and both hands clasped their fists in his pockets. He held onto the hope that Julia wouldn't buy all this, or at the very least, would wait for him to explain it to her. But when he read her icy text, he was speechless. Rosetta, dressed in a lovely pink gown, appeared at Joshua's side. Her friends and relatives were with her. There were a few people present, but no media. However, everybody who attended the party could sense that the atmosphere was somber rather than cheerful. It did not feel like a celebration. While pretending to be having fun and smiling at one other, sipping on their drink, some people were actually forcing their feet to stay put since they couldn't get away. Howev
★★★Julia and Julius went to an ice cream shop to have some ice cream. Sussan refused to accompany them, claiming she had urgent business to attend to. Sussan was upset, and it was due to Julia's statements.But Julia merely desired tranquility.As someone who had experienced grief and failed relationships, she was used to them, but at least Joshua did not express his love for her; this was sufficient for her to believe that Joshua had no feelings for her. She couldn't possibly cry over it, so she didn't.“My ice cream is delicious; let me try yours, Mum!" Julius chimed as they boarded a cab heading for the home Julia had chosen for her father and Old May. They could live there comfortably."Hand me yours as well," Julia remarked gently as they exchanged ice cream."Mum, I want to tell you something I've been keeping from you," Julius informed his mother, avoiding eye contact.“Hmm! Spill the beans,” Julia said, sticking out her tongue to lick the ice cream. She did not observe
