Forcing her to the edge

★★

“How could you do such a thing to me? What have I done to you?" Julia sobbed as she realized it was her family who had mercilessly murdered her soul.

"Because you've been loved by everyone, and that's exactly what I deserve." But our father is indifferent to me. Timothy never glanced at me, even if I wear the crown in his honor,” Stacy spit viciously in Julia's face, exacerbating Julia’s misery.

As she wiped the tears from her cheeks, Julia whispered, "God will not spare you.

“There is no God. If there were, you would not have experienced this and you would not be sobbing in front of me right now. So… my dear sister! You only have two choices: listen to us or allow us to post your video online,” Stacy remarked as she sat down in front of Julia.

“After ruining me so much, what else do you want?” Julia yelled with red eyes. What miserable people they were, she could not believe. She had recently realized how her father and she had become victims of their trap.

"Well, not much, really. We will let you leave after you make a brief confession on camera. You won't, though, return to the city.” Stacy directed her camera at Julia as she turned it on.

“What confession?" Julia needed to know what else had left for her to do. How far would they go to destroy her?

"Tell this camera that you cheated on Timothy on your wedding day and that you no longer want to live with us. As a result, you have no alternative but to leave this city," Stacy stated, making her intentions apparent to Julia. This was her last shot to make the goal, which she had planned for a long time.

“I'm not going to do that. It’s you two!" Julia yelled while looking for the phone to call her father. However, a menacing remark made her tremble and her phone dropped to the floor.

"Before taking any dumb action, think it through. Are you sure you don't want your video to be leaked? Only harm will result from this. On one side, you will lose people's respect. Most importantly, if you embarrass this family, I seriously doubt my father will survive.” Stacy warned Julia ahead of time. She made some statements that broke Julia's spirit. The only person her mother had left for her, her father, was all she had. If Stacy did something, it would ruin everything.

Julia collapsed on the floor while sobbing into her hand. She had no idea how things had fallen apart so quickly. She was utterly shocked and baffled as to how her relatives could have robbed her. Though the world was terrible to her, she was unable to treat her father with cruelty. She came to her conclusion because of this.

She got to her feet and murmured, "Record me," wiping away her tears.

“Well done! You are wise,” Stacy made a sly remark and coerced Julia into saying what she really wanted. This was her last day in her house after that Julia permanently left her home... She swore she would never cast a negative light on her father.

“You should be aware that I want to hear "yes" before you speak, said the man in black to his subordinate while holding a glass of wine.

“Boss, we've tried, but the girl vanished with no trace left behind. I'm not sure if she's from this city or not," the subordinate said trembling, gazing at his feet. He had the impression that his body would catch fire and burn till it was reduced to ashes if he gazed into his boss's eyes.

“Your statement implies that I spent the night with a ghost. You've shown me that there are people who can hide from me in this world," the man screamed in rage. He would under no circumstances stand for failure.

“I-I am sorry, boss,” The subordinate pleaded, anticipating the harshest consequences. Unless they wanted to die sooner, they didn't want to witness their boss in the devil's body.

The atmosphere changed slightly as abrupt knocks on the door banged against it.

Everyone was happy, and they felt pity for that uninvited man. Whoever it was would, at least, now be the target of the fury.

“My grandson!! when did you come home and why is there so much lamentation in this room?” An old man in a wheelchair made his way into the room, pressing an automatic button on the handrest.

“Leave,” the man roared. It was for the scared subordinates standing behind who felt their tremble knees and ran away as soon as they heard this.

“They feared you, but Grandpa doesn't! Could you perhaps explain what is generating the storm in your eyes?" As he said this, the elderly grandfather grinned while addressing his irate grandson.

The guy turned away from his grandfather, drinking the wine that burned on his tongue and left a harsh taste, saying, "I have no time at all to watch an old man pretend."

"I agree that I have taken some such steps, but my plan as well did not succeed," he responded. “Believe me, Joshua, the girl I selected didn't show up. ”

As soon as the grandfather understood what had upset his grandson, he immediately confessed. No one had ever been able to handle Joshua when he was angry, and he was difficult to deal with when he was upset.

Joshua threatened his grandfather when he realized that his grandfather was still lying, despite knowing how much Joshua detested lies, "No matter how much you try to save that girl, I will definitely kill her after finding her."

“You don’t know what you are saying because you are mad. But trust me, whatever I had planned for you didn’t happen. The Gussle girl I had arranged for you, she is a good lady. Unfortunately, you went to another room,” the old man tried to convince Joshua as much as possible but to no avail because Joshua shattered the glass in his hand and rushed out of the room.

“Joshua, listen!” Grandfather shouted.

“Bring Miss Gussle to my penthouse,” Joshua ordered on the phone as his car drove to his penthouse, which was located at the black lake in the woods.

It didn’t take long for Miss Gussle to get to the penthouse. She was a little scared, but more excited than that because her dream was finally going to come true. After a lot of struggles, she got such a good opportunity from Joshua’s grandfather, which she had destroyed, but now Joshua himself was calling her. How could she not be happy?

Before knocking at the door, she sprayed perfume all over herself to smell like heaven. It’s not every day you get the chance to spend the night with the billionaire and sexiest Mafia of this generation, Joshua.

Before her fingers touched the door, the butler came out. He said, “Master is waiting for you.”

Miss Gussle sucked a deep breath, filling her lungs as she needed it if Joshua tried to intimidate her. Today, she would have him forever at any cost.

As she entered, a wide back profile greeted her that took her breath away. She could not have known how a cold room would tempt her if she had not met Joshua.
