★★★“Boss, just punish us!” the two bodyguards with their knees on the floor asked Joshua to punish them for failing him with such a mere job. They couldn’t know where they had mistaken, but one thing was clear: they took Julia lightly. They did not assume she would show her boldness against Joshua.Whatever she did, she left the bitter fruits for them to eat.“Get off my face and I want peace,” Joshua said in a menacing voice, his fingers tapping on the table's surface. He was giving out a heavy aura that hadn’t been seen there in years. Gary and Artin chose not to confront him at the time as the uncertainty of their lifespans increased. The more they dawdle in this aura, the less their lifespans sank in.Artin looked at Gary, who pulled his lips into a pout and glared at Artin, who was dim-witted and ruined everything. Trying to be fucking Romeo and got shit on the face by a girl.Gary stood up and walked out of the room first. Artin wanted to cry, but no tears come out. Stagge
★★★ Joshua surveyed the girl for a moment as his pupils constricted. There was the serenity in between his attractive eyes, wanting to be scouted but one should have known it was calm before the storm. Joshua raised his hand in the air and his fingers moved as a gesture for the girl to come close. Though Martha was pretty confident about her charm, it had remained the possibility of how far this mafia would go if she provoked him. Her sedate steps were a little jejune, but Joshua wasn't in a hurry. He let her do what she had hidden in her sleeves. At least he wasn't bothering with his voice and body to get something like what he did for Julia and she got over the board. When the girl reached Joshua, she blushed but was way too obedient like a pet. She pushed up her courage and bent over him seductively as her fingers touched his cheek and trailed down on his lips. Suddenly, with a jerk on her waist, she fell on his lap. “Oops!” she teased. Her both legs were dangling to the side a
★★★ Immediately, she got to guess where she failed to impress him. And did not try to hold back her tongue from saying, “I know other ways to make you feel good. Let me have one more chance.” “I don’t like repeating. If I want your service, I will let you know, but for now, get your clothes and leave,” Joshua warned with his deep and powerful voice that should not be ignored if you were wise enough. But Martha showed her persistence with the belief that she did have aptness, only the time needed. “No, I want to try one more time, ” Martha was adamant while she felt a small hope to climb on the crown, quickly diminishing. The wrinkles appeared on his forehead as his eyes pulled unimpeded barbarity probed to send this woman to hell. He snarled, “My thing is royal. Compared to your fifth smell, that is why it didn’t act the way it should be.” He parted open the coiling snakes from him and then thrust the girl away on the floor. Crashing on the floor, Martha’s tears gushed out as her
★★★ “A long mocking sigh!” Benjamin continued, “Stop telling me everything is your possessions. Cars and properties can be owned because they don't escape, but women are different. Thus far, I believed Julia did like to be with me. Have you not glimpsed how calm she was and so kind sitting with me?” “You are a bollock!! Go on bastard, make yourself pleased by thinking anything because thinking knows no bounds, but fuck your courage that is quite daring to think about Joshua’s woman. She is mine and will be my until her death,” Joshua busted like crackers as he went to the door to go out because he needed to vent for his head to work straight with sanity. “Wow! You do sound like a lover boy. Have you fallen in love with her?” Benjamin asked with little interest. The way Joshua sounded to his ears was bewildering but also exciting at the same time. Joshua paused his steps and looked at his feet in silence. His eyes cast away the anger in submission when Benjamin's remark brought fre
★★★“Is he not engaged to her younger sister?” Joshua uttered with a hostile glare. Manically, those blue irises flashed with rage. He smoldered with resentment and fury flowed through him like lava, rolling out through his tongue. “I am slowly losing my patience.”The hairs on Artin’s neck stood on end as he glanced at Gary with his side eyes, who was driving with a straight face as if no words of their boss had him affected.“Yes, he is Miss Julia’s sister’s fiance,” Artin answered with a confined voice, taking care of his boss’s mood. He tried to camouflage the situation with some music as he extended his hand and turned on the poor music system, which might not want to be played in the deep atmosphere, as there was nothing to be adorned with some good music. Gary frowned, drawing his brows, and looked at Artin finally.His face was like, “What the fuck are you doing!!”Artin shook his head as silently showed Gary his teeth, knowing how foolish he acted. Gary pursed his lips a
★★★ “Boyfriend!” Sussan exclaimed with a surprised voice, closing her mouth that was dangled for quite a moment until she used it to speak. “Is there anything wrong with me being her boyfriend, or does she have someone else in her mind that you like to talk to?” Joshua was a little pleased, believing Julia might have talked with her friend about him. But then the girl squeeze out her dilemma to swallow that he could not be Julia's boyfriend was not something he would take with good eyes as they immediately narrowed with sheer anger. “Frankly, I am not bound to answer any of your ridiculous questions about my friend. Maybe she has or maybe not, but I have no idea if she has someone special. So my expression was genuine. By the way, may I know your name,” Sussan said as soon as she got to understand the man in front of her was The Mafia Julia had spoken to. From whom she chose to hide for a juncture. “Joshua Daniels! Now I believe that you can train your head to remember your friend
★★ As soon as they left, Sussan locked the door and went to her room, running. There was no mess as she anticipated, but she cared about her phone. Finding in the middle of the bed, she wiped the sweat on her forehead and the tip of her nose. That’s when she felt the air conditioner was not on. “What do I do? I can’t call her. Sending a text could also be a problem. What if they have done something with my phone?” Sussan muttered amidst crises where one foot was in the mud while the other foot was in molten lava. A corner of her mouth twisted acutely in distaste as she held her face between both palms, feeling tired, but then she thought of sending an email, the safest way to reach her. If luck remained faithful, then it would do some miracle for Julia. Sussan fell asleep sending an email, just as she decided. ★★★ Morning came faster than ever as night turned to day in seconds. And Susan was not at all ready to get up, but she was not destined to sleep. She rolled onto her bed, h
★★★ Sussan remained silent on the sofa, holding her forehead in her hand with patent bitterness at the people who were breathing, only to create trouble for Julia. Sussan was left with no choice but to tell Julia about her father and the situation before it was too late. Still, there was a slight doubt in her mind that she needed to confirm before calling Julia. Thus far, the conversation she made with the Mafia was enough to tell her why Julia needed to escape because, if by any chance, he got hold of Julia, she would not be able to leave the cage. The ominous visage of that man from last night was still fresh in her mind. The threat she was given had started to act as the sun rose in the sky. Sussan did not loiter with her thought and the consequence of Julia coming back here because her friend had no way but to take care of her father. It was just her awful faith that would not mind making her life impossible. Sussan grabbed a denim jacket with her purse, which contained money,
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
