Chapter eleven
"I didn't know you would show up this early, Josh, not much to do at home?" Victoria said as she raised her head, dusting the table. "It would be unruly of me to not have shown up, have you been well, over the weekend?" He rested his elbow on the table staring into her eyes. She attempts not to make eye contact with him. "Stop it, you cracker, you should try those skills there by the desk, maybe you will lure in customers and increase our earnings." She glared at him. With an apologetic smile, he sauntered to the hanger and grabbed a towel and helped her in dusting off the table. Upon seeing Harley the mocking expression on Victoria's face hastened to a generous smile. Harley shot Joshua a smug glare with apparent disdain in her eyes. Her expression was deadly serious. "Have you cleared the cracked aquarium?" She asked. She released her grip from her bag and fixed her thumb on the glass possibly checking for specks of dirty, "Who cleaned this spot?" She questioned rubbing the fa

"It's so annoying and I want it all out, the voices in my head. It's either the hard truth or the denial." Joshua's eyes warped into a miserable black. Joshua lost every tiny hope of survival, and just as he was left alone sitting near the bronze statue. He recalled his aunt Savannah. "What is your decision now Mr Stark?" He was startled by Miss Laura's voice, who would know she was there, he just saw her leaving not too long. The pressure behind his eyes released and he relaxed. "You're there Miss Laura." She walked over and sat stretching her hands over the railing. "Here… I forgot this Mr Stark, sorry for intruding." She picked up her phone. " I feel helpless and I didn't like that because it reminds me of…" he held back the screams of frustration, "this was given to me by Aunt Savannah," he held an embroidered hankie in his hand. "And just like she always said, the best revenge is massive success. But in making that decision, I have become stiff and stuck, what of the afterm

Chapter thirteen
Firecrackers and emotions entail similar things if you pay closer attention. We are either in shock or introspection. Joshua stared at the woman and wondered if she was insane or had some disorder. "Don't worry, I told you to reach out to me, didn't I?" "I didn't need that from you, I could have sorted out the bill Miss Noura." "I know, but the reason you stayed like this… I'm still not over it." "What does that mean?" Joshua inquired. "You will get to know with time." She said, giving him a warm smile. He was still worried and concerned, he wasn't sure what she was after, or did she know he was a Stark? That is not possible, she couldn't, or she might be taking her chances, 'let's just wait and hear her reason why she's a good Samaritan.' Joshua stared at her intently. Like a thief in the night, that is how Joshua snuck inside the house. Yet again. "Working late again?" She questioned as the switch was turned on and his bent figure went to erect, he was caught. "Not actuall

"Can I have a moment with you, Miss Pamela?" Mr Hudson requested. "Mrs Pamela…" Joshua brewing with jealousy corrected and Miss Noura let out a chuckle. "Shut the fuck up Joshua, he can address her as he wishes." Mr Mason let out, his glass in his hands and he matched Joshua's leg hardly to the ground, he almost yelped but he kept his head low. "I don't want to hear anything from you, hope you understand me." He walked closer to Pamela and Mr Hudson and had Joshua alone with Miss Noura. "No one asked you to speak." His tone was stern. Joshua coloured. "For myself, I think that we could win against the whoresons face to face. However, I’ve got a far better idea than that." "Tell us," urged Brandon as he sauntered over. "Do you want to know?" "By the Gods I do." "While I was coming here, I was checking my way back, researching about Vancouver and the tycoons, businesses around here." Mr Hudson winked. "It's a little habit I couldn't get rid of." "What did you find?" Hudson ca

Not to flee the event with a handful of downgrades and mocking fellows, then stay there to live in cave-like skulking beasts. No, somehow he escaped the Levi bastards' attention. Noura flashed a practiced, false smile at Joshua, who responded similarly.Like the misery of autumn rain, both Joshua and Noura had to accept each other's presence. That didn’t mean they had to like each other but it was important to remain decorous, for Joshua. To appear friendly, even when the direct opposite was the truth, Miss Noura's agenda was quite unrelatable, her help was not interesting but they were controversial. Joshua had pissed her off earlier—her expedition razed to the ground."I never thought you could endure such, she was being brute, the likes of you end up as scumbags." She started a smirk on her lips."Yeah more like a pushover, I deserved it besides I did wrong." He said not looking at Noura."Your wife, she is supportive and also—"She wanted to add how decadent Joshua was, like a d

Mr Mason stepped over and squeezed Joshua's shoulder. "How long will it take you?" "What are you talking about?" His eyebrow flared in the air. He was surprised at the way Mr Mason tramped towards him and with nothing other than the question. "You dumb head, what you think you're doing here, get those groceries out of here unless you want your tiny penny on the root for them." He snarled, Joshua felt his bone chill in relief somehow the sudden outburst was better than the inertia. Maybe Noura had made them to laid their eyes on him as she did, not far from the truth, he was meant to be a suspect had he had any influence they're aware whatsoever. Except for the fact he is a mere penny candy man. "You should get home, pigs like you are always lucky, and luck doesn't happen every day." He said it like a friendly piece of advice, soon Mrs Levi will come out of her isolation and likely he sees Joshua, she might throw a fit. "Someone should throw this insane man out of our midst." "Sto

Chapter seventeen
"Money?" asked Brandon, grimacing demurely. "I know, I know. We don't have any. But once we've eliminated the dog out of the Mason, that will change." Sidney glared at the man talking, daring her to challenge his idea. "That is not possible." Sidney roared. "Good God don't tell me you're with him on this?" She turned to Brandon. She crossed her arms at Brandon, he plopped down on the sofa. Brandon pictured becoming the greatest and the next Blaze's heirs. "Well. Maybe Money." He murmured. "You're not fit for this, and neither is Nathan's childish desire," Sidney warned her glare stern. "Childish?" He smirked bitterly at Sidney. Things were getting sour. "Please will you both stop this, I'm not going to listen to any disparaging words. We're in the same phase here! I believe." Brandon shuts them out. Sidney has suggested that idea knowing it was completely fruitless. Besides It would force Brandon out of the idea and leave only the obsession that inflated Nathan to his ugly fate.

Chapter eighteen
"You might know something, I'm not so likeable to have come here without proper orientation." "I place the terms, if you're happy with it, fine."He took another sip of his red wine. "I've never had any great passion for history, Mr Joshua." "You're a socially inclined man, and believed to be cunning and impersonating. Mr Hunter, why don't you like history? Whereas all your shelves are filled with books." Joshua pondered that for a moment wondering if perhaps that was the reason Mr Stark had escalated more than him politically. "Don't know, don't suppose I guess." That was all he said. "Vancouver was originally a small sawmilling settlement—" "Called Granville in the 1870s. I want you to include me this time in the Renov project, Mr Joshua." Joshua blinked in surprise. "You killing my interest aren't you." "Too trivial for you to believe a lie Mr Joshua, you didn't receive much orientation." "I'm rather impressed by you revealing your true form before anything." The look he gave

Chapter nineteen
Joshua stared at Mr Hudson in disbelief. "This is not right and to think I would come low Mr Hudson." Joshua scoffs at him as he returns the check. He might look like he is not worth anything but he was worth more than his tabs, unlike in the past he was desperate. Even so, he wouldn't have percolated to these insults, unlike he is currently known as the heir to the Stark and to think that he owns the place they are flaunting their arse, he wouldn't accept the affront. "I think you're breaching your limits."You are throwing away a greater chance to have a better life, Joshua." Mr Hudson let out."I'm fully aware of that Mr Hudson." He clunked the glasses together with His, Joshua wasn't pleased, but he managed a smile, patting Hudson's shoulder. But he plunged himself back."I will make sure of it is Joshua, whether morally or unethical, I don't care, when my door of mercy was opened you threw it away." Mr Hudson's mug hit the table with a loud thunk."Nice night Mr Hudson, I will ma

Chapter twenty
"I'm sorry I can't help you, Joshua," Pamela said moving to one side, she wished she could but the throng and the fact that Joshua was caught in the act red-handed left her with no conviction. Aunt Savannah, she knew of her, Joshua had told her before but that was way way back. There is no way he would still be looking for her if she knows how is bereaved Joshua had been when he told her. "Or what, you're going to fight me?" Trisha retorted not minding Joshua's grapple to contain his uproar, she doesn't care besides he was good for nothing that they talked about to the whole crowd. "Are you accusing us? Admit your act, swindler!" Mrs Bridgest Mason said supporting Trisha. But despite this scornful reflection, he gazed round in a friendly way at the people within the premise. But even at that moment, he had a dim presage that this happier contour of mind was also not normal. There were a lot of people at the time surrounding him in the field, besides the Mason and the group of peopl
