CHAPTER 29
Joshua found himself drawing her closer and finding comfort in what he knew was wrong. It was as if nobody else was there, just two of them and their intense stares had him seeing his lost lover in Julia and that was not the first time it had happened. The day he had accompanied her shopping was another incident still fresh in his head, he had caught her when she was about to fall, and strangely it had reminded him of her, of Melissa. Just as he roamed his hands around her back as they kissed, she was immediately snatched away and before he knew it, a hard blow landed on his left cheek his lip cracking open. Silent murmurs followed and Joshua found himself staring back at his best friend while instinctively wiping off the blood oozing from the opening
"Ray....""Shut up!" screamed Raymond making everyone go mute. Besides, it wasn't a shocker that Joshua was in trouble. He had been attacked at the club more times than they could remember mostly when a busineRelated chapters

The journey back home was spent in awkward silence. Julia sat all quiet right next to Joshua, her hands holding on tight to her walking stick and if it had a voice it would have screeched out in pain. The gate automatically opened as soon as they approached and Joshua was the first to get out of car. As he approached Julia's door he felt rather nervous. He had kissed women as a once off and walked off with no feelings attached, but the nerves this time were getting the better of him, especially having briefly mistaken her for Melissa at the club. He knew she died, but who was this woman making him see his lost love in her? He eventually opened the door and let her out as they walked straight into the house."I uhm...I'm sorry i didn't mean to kiss you its just that...""Its okay...didn't mean to kiss you either." he said walking up the stairs and straight into his study banging the door afterwards. Julia looked on for a while a lot of wild and weird thought

After a moment of silence, Joshua uncomfortably cleared his throat and turned to meet Julia's hopeful gaze. He wondered if she had by chance went through his private things but no, she was blind there was no way, so how did she know his name? Even Raymond didn't know it nobody did. Choosing to ignore how she had called him he opened his mouth to protest but she took a step closer, her eyes boring into his and that was it, his suspicions were confirmed. She wasn't blind at all"I uhm...i will clear this mess." he turned to leave but she beat him to it. She ran to block his way, staring intensely into his eyes"Its you right? You are Harris...its you right?""I don't know what you are talking about." he shoved her aside but she held on to his hand yet he wouldn't turn to look at her, his uncertainty getting the better of him. He knew Mel had died in that incident there was no way she would have survived, she was in the house when it exploded he h

Silence hung around the room as the trio gawked at surprised Joshua. He stared at equally shocked Julia then back at the two siblings. Helen looked on eyes glowing hope then it dawned on him why Helen had been threatening to spill the beans to the police. What followed next was rather unexpected, a thunderous laughter erupted from his throat and tears streamed out shocking the three. He looked at Helen and laughed again as he wiped off the tears from the laughter yet somehow the sight of him laughing had Julia forgetting the situation they were in for a split second"So you wanted to trap me with a pregnancy?" he asked then laughed out loud again, "You know Helen, i never thought you could be this sly you know.""Wait what is going on here?" asked Raymond sounding very pissed"I neve

Upon being summoned by the man himself the following morning, Helen found herself staring back at the mirror rehearsing exactly what she was going to say to her father. Telling the truth was not an option and although she had grown to hate Timothy, she didn't hate him enough to send him to an early grave or rather that thought had not crossed her mind just yet. She stealthily walked out of her room straight into the old man's where she took a deep breath before entering, finding him staring out the window her eyes darting all over his back"Father, you called." she said just as he turned, and the look in his eyes scared the daylight out of her"Who is the father?" That was it. Exactly what she had expected, no beating around the bush"Father i can explain...""Who is the father of the child you are caring? Do not let me repeat myself." her mind raced debating on whether to tell it as it is or not. Her eyes trailed from him to the b

"Thank you for availing yourself. I will make it quick.""You better.""Miss Helen Mathe, where were you on the night Darian was killed?" Helen swallowed and shifted for comfort before finding Dylan's eyes. At that point she had mixed feelings, they had come too quick and she hadn't made up her mind as yet"Don't tell Helen. Don't say anything." she could still hear the last statement Raymond had said to her before the police had taken her. She had expected her father to appear at the scene but like always, he stayed huddled up in his soundproof study"I do not know what you are talking about." she found herself lying while staring back into his eyes. Although it was last minute, she just had to gear up her acting boots"Helen, you do know that if we found out you lied to cover a crime it will backfire right? Not even your father can save you.""I do not know what you are talking about detective. You have

"What the hell?!Get up from there?!" said an irritated Prim as she harshly grabbed Helen's wrist and pulled her out of the room throwing her over to Raymond who held her before falling"I have worked for your family almost all my life. And I will not have Richard all over my business when he hears i let you throw yourself into a prison cell! Do you even know what you have done!" she whispered yet her whispers came out sounding like muffed screams"What did she do?" asked Raymond looking over at a worried Joshua then back at Primrose"She just proved to them she knows something. And i am afraid she has given them enough reason to monitor her every move. She told them she knows.""What?!" exclaimed the two gentlemen all at once their gazes tearing from Prim to Helen"Do you want me to go to prison that bad?" asked Joshua his eyes full of contempt making Helen shudder"You know what, lets get out of here and

"What do you want?" Raymond hissed as soon as they got out"You are not taking my calls. Julia was complaining about the same you guys should talk.""Talk about what? She kissed my best friend and that best friend kissed her back! You know i feel like rushing back in there because i don't have anything to say to you i thought we were brothers!""Nothing is going on between Julia and i trust me please. It was one silly mistake it never happened ever again i swear!""Did you sleep with her?""What?! No! Raymond we have come a long way i am what i am partly because of you and i will never sleep with your woman." he said looking straight at him yet he avoided his gaze. He had meant to tell him that Julia was Melissa but at that point it was likely to ruin their friendship. He knew Raymond loved Julia and he too was trying so hard not to catch feelings, Raymond was more than a friend he had become his only family.

After a brief meeting with his boss, Timothy was glad to finally breath freely as he exited the room. The spared a few glances for the two guards by the door hoping they didn't notice his nervousness before disappearing down the corridor. Ever since he found out about the pregnancy he had been very uncomfortable with talking to Richard be it on call or even worse in person. He had worked for Richard for as long as he could remember, and the man never hesitated to kill whoever was in his way. He was even planning on assassinating the president so what more him! Knocking softly on Helen's door he got no response then proceeded to enter before an wandering eye caught up with him. The house was infested with over thirty guards, and he had made it a point to be on lookout whenever he entered Helen's room."What are you doing in my room!" she snapped the moment she got out of the bathroom in nothing but a white towel wrapped around her. Her pregnancy was beginning to show, an
