CHAPTER 13
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
CHAPTER 12
A knock could be heard on Joshua's door, and without wasting time he reached for it.“From?” Joshua spoke first, barely opening the door. “Evermark constructors & Co,” a man who appeared to be in his late thirties replied to him almost immediately. “You contacted us yesterday.” Like he was struck by lightning, Joshua nodded, stepping out of the sitting room. “Sorry, I forgot to contact you, I offered to give fifty million dollars for the project.”“The CEO gave me a number.” “That's mine,” the man smirked. “I'm Mr. Brennan by the way.”“Joshua,” he accepted the handshake with a straight face, scanning the man from his jet black hair to his dark brown eyes before he returned the smile.Barely.“It’s a huge amount of money I must say,” the man only stated the obvious, with his eyes sweeping the compound.Apparently, Joshua had also contacted a construction company that was going to work hand in hand with the titan defense agency.Thirty million dollars project, that was all he needed
CHAPTER 11.
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
CHAPTER 10
Eleven days until the apocalypse and Joshua was seated in his apartment, scrolling through his contacts endlessly, and something seemed incomplete. Gina's number. That was the missing piece.She was the only one the system had talked about, and she did not fall below his expectations.“It should not be a problem anyway.” That was all he said before he got up from the bed for the first time since he got home the previous day. A day that would go down in his books as one of his best days.In an hour's time he was done with his morning routine, a thing that took him several hours when Elena's family was still ordering him around.For a moment, he looked around in his room with his hands placed on his waist, then shortly afterwards his gaze moved to the ceiling. The Titan defense agency was coming over to his place later that morning, but before that he needed to attend to something.Without wasting time he picked a black pants from his wardrobe, pairing it with a plain white top that
Chapter 9: One Million Worth of Food
The silence in the restaurant lasted exactly two seconds after Gina's words landed. Then Elena exploded."One million dollars?" Elena's voice came out as a raw, ragged scream that shattered whatever was left of the dining room's quiet atmosphere. Her face was so red it looked like someone had slapped her with a hot iron, and her eyes were bulging as she jabbed her finger toward Joshua's table. "That money should have been mine! That bastard Joshua is squandering my money! Every cent he has belongs to me!"The entire restaurant turned to stare at her. An older woman in pearls at the nearest table lowered her wine glass and looked at Elena the way someone looks at a pigeon that has just flown into a church. A man in a pinstripe suit three tables over whispered something to his wife, and they both shook their heads slowly. A young couple near the bar stopped eating entirely and just watched, their forks frozen halfway to their mouths.Nobody in the room understood what this screaming wom
Chapter 8: Kicked Out
Joshua and Gina talked easily for a few more minutes. She had a natural way of keeping conversation flowing without making it feel forced, and Joshua found himself genuinely enjoying the company. It had been years since someone had spoken to him like an equal instead of a servant.Eventually Gina steered the conversation back to business, leaning forward with her hands folded neatly on the table."So, Joshua, I mentioned our VIP membership earlier. If you're interested, we have three tiers. The first is our Gold level at one hundred thousand dollars. That gives you priority reservations and a dedicated server anytime you visit. The second is our Platinum level at five hundred thousand. That adds access to our private dining room, a personal sommelier, and invitations to exclusive tasting events."She paused and something playful crossed her face."And then there's our Supreme Membership at one million dollars. That's our highest tier. Unlimited access to every service we offer, a perm
