Pacing quickly towards his door, Joshua let out a sigh of relief. He got there before the workers from the Titan defense agency. But instead, he met Jessica and Elena.“To what do I owe this unexpected visit?” He demanded with his hands in his pockets. “Pretty sure you've gone to spend another million on one of those sluts.” Elena returned the answer in the same form. With a question of her own.A quick look at his wristwatch explained why the sun had begun to burn the back of his neck and without giving an answer to the question Elena asked earlier he walked past her, heading for his door.“As you know Joshua, I don't have anything against you, I'm only here for my client, and I'll demand complete cooperation from you.” Every word that made its way past Jessica's lips was coated in lies.Complete lies.He did not say anything, he just strided towards the living room without shutting the door.They needed no one to tell them that if he was going to have any conversation with them i

The workers had gotten to work, and that made it impossible for Joshua to stay there. He had packed everything he was going to need for the next seven days into a travelling bag. His clothes, comb, cologne, and other necessary items.Including the documents he was going to need in court the next day. He packed everything into the Nissan Navara parked in his compound before unlocking his phone. With the huge amount of money sitting comfortably in his account, he could get a new house at the speed of light like he had one of those infinity stones.But that did not make its way into his mind, given that it would also become useless. Still seated in his car, he looked up certain hotels in the city, coming across various five-star hotels, but one stayed at the top of his interest. The Grand Marivale.It was a two-hour drive from his home, but that was not going to stop him. He turned on the engine immediately, the low rumble of his black Nissan Navara adding to the noise that was produ

Joshua turned off the alarm in his hotel room. He was already awake, arranging the documents into a big brown envelope. It was 7:31 am.Victor Haines had texted him the previous night. The time and venue. Including everything he was going to need. It was not long before the sun came out completely, and Joshua was dressed already, putting on a white shirt with thin light blue vertical stripes left untucked over a beige khaki trouser.“Let's get this over with,” he muttered beneath his breath, before he picked up the file from the bed and walked out of the room.Fortunately for Joshua his trip was traffic free. “Look who's here,” it was Jessica Palmers, dressed in a well tailored dark suit with barely noticeable white stripes, a modest white blouse and a glossy loafer.“Dressed like he already knows what awaits him,” Gerald kept his distance, like every little detail of what Joshua did to him the previous day was still playing vividly in his head.The entire household of Elena was pr

A vibration, along with a notification, welcomed Joshua immediately he turned his phone on.[Nine days until the apocalypse].Finally, he was done with Elena's saga. The apocalypse was now the only thing that entered his field of concern.[THE MORE CAPABLE THE SURVIVORS, THE MORE POINTS ONE WOULD RECEIVE. POINTS IN WHICH CAN BE USED TO UPGRADE SHELTER, UNLOCK SUPPLIES AND WEAPONS].You don't have to wait for the system to tell you if they are the right choice or not. The system just handpicks certain people. Just like it did with Gina and Xavier. Joshua had checked the internet the previous night. Xavier was a father of two kids, both of whom were below the age of ten. It was most likely he won't receive any points for bringing the kids in. But nevertheless, if he was going to bring in Xavier, he had to do that.While he was lost in thoughts in the hotel room, his phone rang, pulling him back to reality, and upon seeing the caller ID, a positive smile made its way to his face.It wa

It was quite chaotic in Elena's family house. A place that was a complete contrast to the lifestyle she lived.“I did not give anyone false hope but still, you choose to blame me?” Lorry raised his eyes right in front of Gerald who had to move backwards. Both men were lean but anyone could tell who'd win if a fight broke out.“You think I'm at fault now, right?” He turned from Gerald to Patricia who took the knife off the onions she was slicing. “Patricia.”She let out a heavy sigh, moving her eyes from the pasta to Lorry. “Turning on one another is not going to solve the problem right now. Lorry, you're still in your prime, you can find a job with a decent pay, while Gerald can–”“What exactly can the old man do?” Lorry interrupted her, moving his hands from his pockets to his waist with his smug expression still evident.“You're thirty-three for crying out loud, don't tell me you are not going to go out there and do something Lorry,” Patricia threw the knife against the chopping bo
