★★★ Joshua felt his heart tug at her words. His intention to assist was not to get involved in her life, but a feeling affected him and he lost the warmth in his eyes. His hand went under the chair and grabbed the side seat rail before hauling it close with the woman on it. Two chairs collided as Julia’s flounder body failed to get balance. Hence, her hand went to his shoulder and her frantic face glared at him. “What are you trying to do?” She yelled, grinding her teeth against each other. Her besetting mind wanted to dig out his eyes off his sockets, using the fork in her hand. She had enough of his nonsense and moody nature. She took into account the space and interaction between two people, and she was not as brazen as he. Her eyes had seen two men in the distance who were turned their frame into robots, but had their eyes in them. Although they would not mind their boss, still she did not like it all. “You are never taught to impress a person with your words,” Joshua said wit
★★★ “Seems like your father has withdrawn his love from you. The dress, shoes, eh! Your total outfit looks very cheap. My servants won’t lay their eyes on such clothes. But don’t worry, sometimes people get to see the reality of where they stand,” Carol taunted with her pleased eyes at the sight of Julia, who looked really tired though had the charm. It would be gone soon. “Yea...” Julia softly smiled as her eyes looked down at her feet, then went back to Carol’s face and continued, “I failed my father. Hence, I have given what I deserve, and thank you for making me realize my situation that will not have been possible if you haven’t evinced me today. I appreciate it, Carol,” Julia said, offering a soft gesture that was very unexpected to Carol, who wanted some Chaos between her and Julia. so that she could beat her up in the middle of the road and they would be on the front page of the newspaper tomorrow. She pinched her own heart to imbibe the bitter juice and opened her mouth ag
★★★“Ooo... My heart. I love you to the moon and back.” Sussan threw her arms around Julius and hugged him close.“Julius, how about you draw something for aunt Sussan? She is yet to know how good you are at drawing,” Julia said with a pretty smile while admiring the beautiful bonding between her friend and her son.“I will be glad if my hero makes something for me,” Sussan chimed, encouraging Julius. She felt that Julia was about to say something to her and needed a place. But Sussan did not know Julius was really good at drawing.As soon as Julius dashed away, Sussan changed the place and sat next to Julia on the couch.“What is it?” Sussan asked, exhaling a sigh. Since yesterday, she left numerous calls on Julia’s phone, but only a single text Sussan received that Julia was okay.Fingers would be too short to count the number of times Susan woke up in the night to drink water in anxiety. At the moment, seeing her fit and fine, it felt as if a big stone had been removed from h
★★★“Stop, stop. We are okay. We should not go down that low. Don't you think I can hit them too? But I have a hunch they have set up media somewhere to tarnish my name. As far as my instinct says, they are stiff-necked to remove me forever from my family. If it happened, you can understand what they can do. Perhaps, my father and I will be dead by then,” Julia confessed to Sussan why she accepted their humiliation and pain, only because she had a long way to go about her future.Sussan, who was about to explode, with a fury that enveloped herself, suddenly Julia's words felt well grounded and considered that she somehow missed in rage.“Exhaled!” Julia said with a playful smirk as her hand stretched forward to stop Sussan from storming out of the house.“God will definitely make everything right for you,” Sussan said and hugged her friend, who was not a mother only but also a fighter and a wise woman.“That's what gives me the strength to go forward,” Julia mumbled and patted Su
★★★ “What worries you here, Mr. Bugler,” Joshua said, tilting his head to the side a little, with no expression whatsoever. “What so special in him, just a pretty boy,” Joshua inwardly commented at Timothy, who did not know how purposely he was brought here. “I don’t see why not? Small businessmen like us will not be needed, yet if we ever come in handy for your help, we will be delighted,” Timothy said as he praised the man who seemed off about something. Noticing the perplexed look on Timothy’s face, Joshua could not delay in pursuing the matter. “I hear you are about to get engaged,” Joshua asked and began his plot with stern eyes that showed neither the desire to talk nor Timothy would like to speak about his personal matter. Yet he had to open his mouth because it was he who came to Joshua on purpose. “Yes, just become official yesterday,” Timothy answered, sucking a deep breath. His heart wrung hard while dejection dug into his skin. Mentioning it, he felt only despair. The
★★ “Purpose? I don't understand what kind of purpose you are talking about. Julia is your friend as you said when I asked you. So, my request is simple. I'm looking forward to dating your friend and you can help me with it, Mr.Bugler,” Joshua said to Timothy, who currently didn't know what he should do with his anger. Why was everyone so bent on hurting him? Timothy's heart wept. He wanted to move on before he was reminded of the betrayal inflicted by Julia. It is not yet known why she left him, but he did not want to hurt Stacy. She did a lot for him. Although Timothy believed that he might not like her, he was still willing to give her his name. “I'm not friends with her anymore. Maybe I overreacted, but so far I know about her character. She may not like you. I am not saying that you should not go after her. It’s just I can't help you with it anyway,” Timothy said coldly. If it looked carefully, the pain was beneath it. “I like to take my leave. And congratulation on owning the
★★★ Joshua turned over page after page and signed as his long and rough fingers held the pen with more force than it should have allotted. He was a bit out of thought and his brain pressed itself more to think of her. After what had happened in the morning, Julia had not called him even once, nor had he followed Julia. With each passing time, Joshua felt the loneliness of not having something in his arms. He was affected as his body could feel it in every inch. He wanted to be around her because he was not satisfied with the time he had spent with her. Should I ask her to go with me everywhere instead of spending her time with her friend? Joshua pondered, stopping his pen on the last page with his name on it. He threw the paper to Artin’s chest, who caught it on time before it dropped down in the road. It was an important document he had told Joshua, but he cared none. Artin closed the door and went to deliver the paper for further processing. Joshua leaned forward as his hands on
★★★★ “A drama!!” Julius repeated as he looked with curved brows at aunt Sussan before continuing, “Is my mother doing a superhero movie?” He was baffled, and his eyes continued searching for an answer in Sussan’s eyes. If it was true, then he would stay angry forever with his mother for hiding such a thing. The tears disappeared from his beautiful oceanic eyes as his tiny lips pouted. “No superhero. It is just a small advertisement. We will get to see it on tv. Exciting isn’t it?” Sussan asked Julius, who was in her arms. His face blackened seemed like he did not like his mother doing some drama. “No, not exciting at all. Mom never said she like drama and is doing something like that. Many times I have told her that I want to meet spider-man but she said that it is very difficult to meet because we are not celebrities,” Julius innocently declared whose small face was serious but looked very cute, just a piece of the moon, bright and lovely. “Oops!!” Sussan exclaimed when she felt
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
