Josalina POVI was flabbergasted. It was as if someone snatched my heart out of my chest. It was hurting as tears crawled down my cheeks. I was not able to breathe and speaking on the phone was not my piece of cake. I took a few heavy breaths and continued,"How... Who.... did..... this?", I stammered as I spokeI picked my nose several times and my chest started to hurt."We dont know yet. The murderer wanted to kill James, however he was unsuccessful. James is in the hospital now and we have arranged the security guards", The person answered.The moment I heard murderer, my eyes widened. My heart stopped and I heard three beep sound on the other hand. The phone was cut and it slipped through my hand crashing on the floor. I had a guess behind it. I don't want to take his name but he is the nly possibility.Ever since Stephan has stepped his leg in my life, I have lost everything and now James is another victim. I had warned Stephan but he still dare to commit this crime. I took a de
Josalina POVI ran towards the hospital where I saw James lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed. His heart rate was normal and there were several pipes connecting his various body parts. He was covered in white bed sheet and looked like a lifeless corpse. However the thing that hurts me the most was huge bump on his head.His head was tied in huge white bandages and blood stains were visible. His golden brown hairs that he loved so much were lying on the floor. I didn't realize when the tear left my eye. I quickly wiped it but it was difficult to control myself. I went towards him and sat beside him. I held his palm and said,"I am sorry... This is all because of me. I will make him pay for it. I promise"Till yesterday, Stephan was just another subject of sympathy for me because he was the victim of Noah's lies but today he proved me wrong. I will make him pay for every ounce of my wasted five years because of him.Just as I was leaving the hospital room, the police approach
David POV I was sleeping peacefully when I got a call from boss. I was stunned. At this time, I can only expect him to call and that too in a bad mood. I picked up the call and sit straight. I strengthened my back to get ready for what's coming next. I cannot even produce a lazy voice because Stephan doesn't endure it. He would definitely behead me for that. "Hello... good evening Mr Richards", I said. "Where the hell are you?", was the reply. His voice was rough and he was definitely angry. I could hear a girl almost dying of moans in the call. I need to hurry because something is terribly wrong. I rushed towards his room and saw the door half opened. The boss was standing naked fucking the woman Maria. This was too much for me. I quickly turned to look somehwere else when the woman thrashed on the ground and the bos wrapped himself in towel. He approached towards me with his hulk like harsh hit steps. I gulped my saliva out of fear and I could feel my heart rate pacing. "what t
The next morning, the sun was shining bright. The company's windows and curtains were drawn open and every room there didn't require any light. Evryone was at thei work and the buzz of yesterda's work reports were carrying many away. The five people from five different companies were holding huge files with ready designs creating the last moment effects. Evryone was working at a rapid pace. David's ass didn't get any rest either. He had all the work to do. He created the designs and and even investigated the matter the entire night.Still, this morning, David was clueless of who attempted the murder plus he was clueless of how Noah escaped and where is he now. He didn't tell about it to Stephan yet because that man is unpredicatable specially when it comes to Noah. David was suspicious that maybe Noah is behind the James case and it woukd be proven if anything ugly happens today.Stephan was sitting beside Maria who was working on her designs sniffing continuously. She was so embarra
Josalina POVThis woman is definitely insane. That man used her as a whore because of someone else and yet she wants to be with him."Have him babe", I murmured as she disappeared in thin air. II had a lot of work to do. There will be a new layer today replacing James for the work. I even have to go and check on James. The doctors said that he can be out of his coma anytime. I hope I am by his side when that time really comes.I completed my work and was opened the door to leave. Stephan was standing right in front of me. He had been waiting all the time."Don't you have work to do?", I asked him."Have you finished with the approval?", He questioned back.He is right. There is no work until the client is satisfied with the project ideas. I soghed and ignored him as I started moving."You haven't answered me yet", He screamed from behind."I have scheduled a meeting with the client for tomorrow", I answered and kept moving."That was not what I was talking about", He said. I broke m
Justin was wearing a white informal shirt and brown cargo pants. His hand had a black huge bracelet with a digital watch. He was holding his tablet and seems to be about thirty. He was muscular and his shirt was a perfect fit for his strengths. He had an ear ring in his right year and he looked quite amazing in his unique style."Hell Miss Green. I have heard a lot about you. I am Justin, the new lawyer", Justin introduced bringing his right hand forward.Josalina took it and shook hands with him. Justin flipped her hand and kissed it. Josalina gave him an awkward smile and then looked at the door. As expected Stephan was still standing at the door staring into the office. He was equally awkward and angry but the moment his eyes met that of Josalina's, he turned over and left."Hello Mr Justin, its nice to meet you", Joslaina replied."Please", she said and both of them entered her office. She brought the files of all the pending works that James was handling and showed it to Justin.
Stephan POV I stayed up here watching after her all the evening because I felt that this new man was definitely a man who can't be trusted. However, by his looks I got a strong feeling that he is a gay. I am not sure but I have been with these people, a lot closer actually so I can understand him. The night with Noah was a regret but I still made it forgetting everything that I had. "What do you think of yourself huh? Just stay away from me", Josalina roared. She was angry as she locked her arms and looked at me like her biggest mistake. This look hurts me the most. It makes me feel how disgusting I am. I am sympathetic as well as embarrasing. My lips opened because my nostrils were not enough to handle my huge breaths. "Will you leave now?", she roared again. "I am sorry", I said. This was the last thing I could say to her. I saw her stunned look. She seriously dudn't expect me to come up with that. I didn't expect that either but it was something very natural I cannot really tu
Stephan POV It was lunch time and I had my lunch early. I even had to look good. I was acting like a teenage girl and I felt like laughing over myself but Josalina is worth it. I wore a brown tuxedo suit with grey shade over a black shirt. This was the most exquisite piece I bought yesterday. It cost me fifty thousand dollars. I even bought the best perfume and brown laced shoes. My watch was old because it itself is worth millions. I styled my hairs after a nice shampoo and I hope its fragrance lasts longer. On my way to Josalina's place which was determined by David in seconds, I bought a bouquet of red roses. During high school, Josalina used to love the red roses that I usually used to bring her. I remember her cute smile whenever she does that. She then used to pint the rose in her smooth silk hairs and used to proudly tell everyone that it was given to her by her boyfriend. If Josalina wouldn't have called me after lunch then we would have had lunch together and I would have
Josalina POVI was devstated with Stephan hiding things from me and about the fact that I wasn't a part of Noah's revnge. However, it doesn't feel that bad. Infact, it is good to be back. I feel like going back and check my house. I remember it leaving in a shattered position with all my furniture lying in a closed room stuffed. I was a dependent back then but today, i will buy the place again and build a better house such that no one can destroy it in seconds.Tears roled dopwn my cheek as I thought about it. On the table near my bed was the contract of my employment at Stephan's workplace. I am given the position of the senior lead. At last, he finally understood that I am much more talented than he is. I smiled reading it and signed it. Somewhere in my heart, I am not interested in leaving this place either. When I was keeping the contract back in the envelope, I found another paper in it. I brought it out and it was basically a letter. It was from Stephan stating the reason of hi
Stephan POVHe crossed all the limits now and I couldn't even bother to look at his face. I wanted to punch it and spoo I threw the wine glass away and moved my fist to punch him hard but his reflexes worked quite well. He moved his head back and saved himself. I angrily held his shoulder and looked at his eyes. He was still smiling playfully and at the same moment, I suddenly remembered what Josalina had taught me.Throughout this revenge procedure, Josalina was consistent with the exact revenge procedure. In order to take revenge on Noah, I have to give him exactly what he did to me. I untied my belt and pushed him on the bed.His facial expression suddenly changed. He was here with a plan too. I know he would never hurt me turning me against Josalina was always his plan and ofcource, he couldn't let me hurt him too so he had gun around his waist with a pocket knife in his pocket. I felt them the moment I pushed him on the bed.To comfort him, I removed my shirt and he raised his ey
Stephan was sitting on the couch with a letter in his hand. It was the goodbye letter from Josalina. The shef kept a glass of juice in front of him and was about to leave when Stephan stopped him and gave him the hundred dollar note."Is there anything that you want sir?", the chef asked.Stephan's heart was burning and he bit his lips so he took a deep breath and then said,"Nothing, just give fifty dollar to the cleaner. This is the amount for keeping the guest happy", Stephan said.It pained him terribly when he called Josalina a guest. He wanted her to be the queen of the mansion but everything turned upside down with the revenge of breaking trusts. Stephan felt what he actually had lost.He remembered the last look on Josalina's face when she was taken to the prison for a crime she never committed. Stephan realized that he has come a far way and what Josalina did to him was something very minor. Choking himself down, he picked up his phone to check updates on Josalina but he got
Justin wasn't feeling special here. He was still not able to figure out what to say. The entire room was a reflection of Stephan. Justin was sure that a long time love cant be erased in just a few eetings. Also, he was still not happy with David's reaction before so he asked,"Are you sure you've stopped thinking about him?"David pulled Justin closer but Justin got out of his grip. Justin didn't wanted it to turn out into a romantic sweet talk but wanted serious answers. David realised this and sat on the sofa facing Justin,"Yes", he answered."I was thinking about removing these pictures but I wanted you to see them first", david answered."These pictures are not what I am talking about", Justin claimed.David wrinkled his forehead and gave a questionable look to David."Why did you pull me back when I was about to fight for Josalina?", Justin made himself clear.David sighed. he wasn't expecting Justin to come up with this."I care about Josalina more than you do. Trust me, my bos
The three flew back to where Stephan was. A driver was already there to pick them up. Josalina was resistant to go back but she was forced to do it, hence she took James along with her so that James can be safe in a different country too. James was carried on a stretcher to the main building and he was given a separate room with the doctors to take care of him.The moment the other three reached the living room, they saw Stephan sitting on the sofa. His legs one on top of the other, his face filled with agression and his veins bursting with the ultimate protein he got. David and Justin bowed in front of her but Josalina reflected his means. She sat in fron tof him without showing respect.However, there was something fishy today. There were a lot of people inside the licing room, many of them holding guns. It was as if most of them have took the rebelion in their hand. John was not around yet the bodyguards were there for nobody but Stephan. Josalina was stunned with the suudden chang
Its been two weeks already and suddenly there was a buzz in two different countries. The headlines were foced to change overnight.The headlines at Country A read, "Popular Interior architect and the lead was stabbed brutally!!!"while the headlines for country B read, "The criminal Noah who had fleed from the prison a few days ago was found in pieces at his residence".Josalina was admitted to the hospital in a very critical condition. She was stabbed in stomach, she was fully aware of what was happening arounf but she was in excruciating pain. She was being treated in the operating hall when the doctors suddenly refused to operate on her."the cut is so deep. A professional killer must have done it", one of the doctors said."We cannot operate her, the police needs to give us a permission first", the other doctor said."but she is dying", the third one came forward showing concern.However, the doctors didn't hear him and retreated their actions. The heartbeats were getting slower a
Josalina was back in the country and David was supposed to pick her up. David reached the airport fifteen minutes early. He decided to wait in his car with the music on. At a distance, a desperate man was staring at the car waiting for he owner to come out but even after five minutes, David didn't come out.Justin finally decided to walk to the car and he knocked the window. David was stunned watching Justin. he didn't expect him hear. He switched off the music even though he knew that he can't hear Justin. David has been avoiding Justin ever since Justin has expressed his desire to be with him. David bit his lips and rubbed his fingers trying to decide whether he should open up or not.Out off patience, Justin knowcked the window again. David realized that this is not going to end and that he have to face him. He lowered the wondow pane and said,"just take a step back.... I am coming out"Justin nodded and got back. David picked up his phone and tablet and walked out. However, the m
Josalina POVMy heart was wrenching with every word that Stephan was disclosing about his relationship with Noah. if I will take a closer look, then I had lost half of my childhood in immense betrayal and partial statements. I got up to get a glass of water while Stephan was still on bed staring at me with an odd but sympathetic face."Strip", i said after gulping the glass of water.I turned to look at Stephan and he was now staring me with wider eyes and confused expression. He frowned in excitement or anger, I am not able to understand."Are you serious?", he questioned.We recently had sex but he still doesn't trust me with him stripping. This is true, he do understand that we got no relationship between us and whatever happened was just a mistake. Also, with the tension that he was facing right now, I could feel that he vblames himself for breaking my trust or he is still in a bad position with whatever had happened between him and Noah."Do I look like joking?", I asked him.He
Stephan POV I woke up on my bed and my body was hurting like hell. My eyelids were too heavy and my head was cracking almost. I moved my hand to hold my hand but my muscles were like hurting me. "you should keep your calm. Its all right", I heard John said. He came and sat near me and helped me with my headache. He rubbed his fingers on my head massaging them in the perfect direction. Tears rolled down the edeges of my eyes. The calm breaths that he was helping me take was reviving my memory from last night. I realized that i couldn't control myself, I lost everything that I had because of my own foolishness. I remembered how I spent the night with Noah in his arms and how he arose me. I remember that there was time when I threw myself at him for pleasure. Josalina crossed my mind. Everything was over. Josalina would never trust me again. "How is he doing?", I heard a sweet voice and I remember this voice clearly. I opened my eyes in shock and got up to sit. I looked at her, the
