Rosetta Gussle stated, gazing at Joshua's back who was unwilling to look back, "I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long."The Gussle family had a lot of clout in the world of politics. They had the power to melt iron, but Joshua's might was greater.Joshua whirled around when she spoke this, his black eyes meeting hers. It was very apparent that her presence did not please Joshua much.“If you think you can keep me waiting, then you must be mistaken. Miss Gussle. Have a seat,” Joshua paused before continuing, “You've got to come to see me because I want you to,” Joshua stated monotonously. When Rosetta unexpectedly felt her leg fall into a puddle during a great conversation, she could not screech but smile as if nothing happened.Rosetta took a seat, crossed one leg over the other, and grinned sweetly before saying, "Thank you so much for the time." She would need to be meek and approach Joshua because being haughty would not be useful in this situation.“Did you come to my room at my grandfather's request when I was drugged?" Joshua took the seat in front of her and confronted her. Rosetta gulped a mouthful of air with her lips apart, her scared knees quivering as she tried to think of a flawless reason that would allow her to enter Joshua's life.“I- I was,” Rosetta dallied to provide a simple answer that might have been concluded in one word, but she didn't want him to swat her away if she spoke quickly.“Rosetta said, her eyes down to her feet, "I'm sorry, but when Grandpa reached out to me, I wasn't willing to do this with you. But then he requested, holding my hand, and I just couldn't turn him down.”Eyes never lied, and someone like Joshua could pluck the truth from between them, therefore there was no other way she could conceal them from him.“You mean to say that I spent the night with you? What made you run away the next morning?” Rosetta became perplexed as Joshua halted. She looked uneasy as she wondered if he was fooling her. Then she heard Joshua's voice once again, "Because I wanted to talk about marriage with the girl, I spent the night with," as he described his desire for Rosetta. For all this time, she had been gripped by an unsettling tightness in her chest, so when she heard him, she erupted in happiness. Although she was ecstatic and wanted to run after Joshua to give him a big hug, she restrained herself to portray her sadness."I was afraid you wouldn't accept this and would do something to me," Rosetta admitted, her tears streaming down her cheeks as she explained what had caused her to flee from there.“I had no idea," Joshua remarked as he rose from his seat, his knee touching the ground. He knelt before Rosetta, who seemed to be in a dream. She had Joshua under her grip just by speaking to him. She was curious if he was the same violent, avaricious mafia, Joshua.“I don’t want anything, Josh,” she continued her melodrama as her hands were grabbed by Joshua’s palms.Incredulous but overcome with excitement, she softly raised her head to see his kind eyes. The danger and allure of his greeting were present. But with all her heart, she desired it.Later, she noticed him slouching. “Is he trying to kiss me? Oh my God!"The thought of being welcomed this way by her desired lover made Rosetta's heart trill with joy as she closed her eyes. She didn't have any other requests. Rosetta allowed him to quickly kiss her by bending forward and letting him.Joshua had his eyes open, staring at Rosetta's face, and a faint rage flashed up in his eyes when he saw Rosetta was not that girl, a total fraud she was. She was full of deception schemes, and even though he knew she wasn't the same person, he couldn't stop himself from trying her. Though he hadn't seen the girl's face the night before, her taste and smell lingered in his mind.Rosetta was jerked away by Joshua in no time. She was in disbelief, wondering what had unexpectedly happened to him.“Josh,” She beckoned sweetly and got to her feet. She went right away to hold the man's hand when she noticed that he was departing without speaking to her.But what occurred to her after that, she had no concept of. Her hand was yanked away from Joshua, and she was flung to the ground viciously.“Ouch!!” she moaned as her knees hit the ground. Her stature had also fallen like a piece of trash.“Are you crazy?” In between her sobs, she screamed. It was not only painful, but it also harmed her self-esteem, which no one had ever done before.“Do you still have a mouth to shout with? Be grateful to God that I spared your life today! You're conceited if you think Joshua Daniel can be duped by tears alone. What a harlot!!" Joshua's clear voice echoed around the room. It was an example of her folly to enter the lion's den without protection.“It’s you who kissed me. I didn’t come to you,” Rosetta grunted angrily as she gazed into his eyes where it was obvious to her that he was repulsed by her.“You showed your intelligence by refusing to acknowledge that you weren't in my room. HAH!! You were rejoicing in your head that I was entranced by your words. Trust me, Even though I already knew everything, I still went to you to see whether even a small percentage of what you said was real. Unfortunately, you are far more filthy than I had anticipated.” Joshua concluded by expressing the brutality of his remarks, which knew no one if the rage rose in the head. "Save your tits for someone else, and get lost," he said.“I apologize, Joshua. I lied. But please, please. I like you. I want to be with you and will never tell you a lie. Give me a chance," Rosetta begged as she pushed herself up from the ground. She tried to reattach her shattered goal by standing beside him because names were so important to trample the world. Joshua Daniel was the god of might, the one who could both steal and give life.“Despite the fact that you tried to trick me, I have given you the greatest chance possible and am allowing you to leave safely. Now, if you say anything one more time, tomorrow I'll take away your family name from this planet,” Joshua commanded, his enraged eyes ready to swallow Rosetta, who tried to speak but could not find the words.Her eyes, which were streaming with tears, kept staring at Joshua for a long before she marched out of the room, her heart crashing to the floor. Joshua approached the window and pondered why he was so eager to meet the woman as he gazed at the pitch-black lake. Was he not angry with her? He asked himself.“Fuck this shit! I will not waste time tearing you apart for conspiring against me. Let me grab your neck first," Joshua muttered into the darkness. The rage grew into a disappointment that drove him insane. He couldn't bring himself to relax because his men were still unable to locate the girl.Five years later, ★★ “Don't let go of my hand, Julius. We won't be able to leave the airport until I check a few things. Can you lend a helping hand to your mother?” Julia was conversing with her four-year-old son. He will turn five in a few days. According to Julia, he was the naughtiest child in the world but would display his great heart if he ever heard her mother in difficulties. “Yes-ss, Mom. Look!! My feet are following yours," Julius said to her mother in a muddled manner, but Julia understood every word because she was the mother. “Thank you. Your aunt, Sussan will be there in a moment." Julia muttered to her son Julius, who was overjoyed when he heard Aunt Sussan's name as he was going to meet her for the first time. “Julia!” A woman shouted Julia's name from afar, holding a flower bouquet and a large toy car. “Sussan,” Julia murmured in between her smiles and waved her hand in delight. They hadn't seen one other in a long time. Julius, her son, began waving his hands w
★★ Julia entered her house with shaky legs and couldn't keep them strong from swaying. She had returned after five years with the same pain in her heart. Her gaze wandered to the decor, which had changed considerably from what her mother had done before she departed this world. She walked while exhaling sharp pains that wounded her spirit. She only needed to endure the pain because she came here to meet her father. She started to walk up the steps while shoving a lock of hair behind her ears, but a familiar voice stopped her. “My dear sister.” When Julia looked up, she saw her stepsister Stacy holding hands with her boyfriend Timothy. Her heart began to ache suddenly. She has been moving forward all these years with the attitude that she did not deserve him and will be content with whoever he picked for himself. In spite of this, she was there to experience the abandoned anguish that she had been avoiding for so long. Julia stood frozen, locking sight with Timothy, who was blazin
★★ Julia pushed the door to her father's room with a heavy heart, and a strong medicine stench hit her nose. “Dad!!” Julia called her father after noticing a figure on the bed with closed eyes, appearing frail and dehydrated. She walked to her father with a heavy heart. Her father's health suffered as a result of the pain she brought. How could she possibly forgive her? "How are you, Father?" Julia sobbed quietly. Countless tears fell from her eyes as she examined her father's condition. She was the only one to blame. Caressing her father’s head, she pulled out her phone to call the doctor. That was when her father opened his eyes and a ray of joy flashed in them. “Julia, my daughter,” he weakly said. “Yes, Father,” Julia replied, bringing her face close to her father. She said, “Dad, I am sorry. I am not a filial daughter, also created trouble for you but Dad, I was played. Your daughter didn’t want anything like that.” “I believe you,” her father’s weak voice said and instant
★★ “Julius!" Julia cried as she flung open the door to her friend's home. Her eyes yearned to see her child and feel the love. She really wanted to hold on to her son in order to feel less helpless and alone. “Hush! He has fallen asleep waiting for you all evening,” Sussan quickly informed her, then narrowed her eyes and inquired, “Have you cried?” “No!" Julia made an excuse, "No, just dust bothering my eyes," and stepped up to the couch to take a seat. She closed her eyes and collapsed into the couch. “Have you met your dad?" Sussan enquired because she was aware of the specific type of dust that Julia would find most irritating. Julia murmured, raking her fingers through her hair, "Yes, and I let him down as a daughter." “Possibly you did!!” Sussan comforted Julia by saying, "But I think you were obligated to do that.” Sussan coaxed Julia with comforting words. She knew Julia wouldn't have an easy life in another country."Life is a challenge. And time is a teacher who educates
★★★ ‘Why does this man resemble my son? Like a carbon replica of Julius. Please, Lord, don't tell me he's connected to my son.' Julia's stomach grumbled as her terrible thoughts scratched the surface of her heart. “Joshua,” the man introduced himself. Julia glanced at the man and his moving lips as he spoke something, but nothing reached her mind since Julia was drowning in her problem. “Sorry... I-I didn’t catch that,” She said while being cognizant of the situation. Her mind was a mess. On the other hand, if somebody did do that, it would be an insult to Joshua. However, he seemed to be extremely relaxed with Julia; someone he met in a unique circumstance. “Joshua is my name,” Joshua grinned as he introduced himself to the woman, who he could see didn't want to talk to him for very long. "Pardon me! I have arrived in the incorrect room. I'm leaving now," Julia hurriedly said, hoping that this wicked person wouldn't cause her any trouble. She had kicked him earlier because he h
★★★“How are things going?"As soon as they left the room, Zach queried. Julia placed her palm on her left chest and took a few breaths in and out before replying, "Thank you, Zach. If you didn't show up, I'm not sure what I'd do."“Exactly what's wrong?”Zach looked down at Julia and said, "Seems like you know my uncle."Although she smiled in response to his question, the concern was visible as sweat stains on her forehead.“I just had the worst talk with your uncle. I didn't want any problems to come my way,” Julia breathed a sigh, and continued, “Having no way out, I did this. I'm sorry!!” Julia murmured, concealing a vital point from him. Julia didn't mind if the guy revealed the truth to Zach after she was gone.But Julia would be relieved that there would be no squabbles between them from now on, and she would no longer be the center of attention.“He's aloof, quiet, and, well, difficult to govern. Nobody wants to misbehave around him. I recognize your discomfort, so don't be al
★★★ The following morning Julia left to meet the manager of the company where Sussan was employed, as per Sussan's request that if everything went well, she might end up working there. She wore a white top and a black skirt with her hair in a ponytail and aligned with flat shoes in order to prevent tripping. To get to the company, she traveled a short distance to the taxi stand. She had to leave Julius for several hours, which made her restless. He sobbed before listening to his mum. When he heard about his grandfather, who was injured and alone, his heart began to tremble. Julius discovered that in addition to caring for him, his mother also looked after his grandfather. Before pressing the phone number displayed on the screen, Julia pondered if she should call Julius. Sussan informed Julia that since her son was preoccupied with trains. As Julia hung up the phone, putting her anxieties aside, a faint smile spread across her lips. "What a lovely smile, sister! Have you found a
★★★ Julia leaned her head back on the seat and gave her a moment of peace to stabilize herself. If this was trust and love she had once cherished dearly, many thanks to fate, she could see how weak the support she would get if she married him. “Excuse me, your stop,” the driver informed Julia, who had forgotten that she was heading somewhere, and with closed eyes, she seemed to have fallen asleep, according to the driver. Julia awkwardly opened her eyes, gave him the cash with a pursed grin, and got out of the car. Since she didn't know anyone when she entered the company, she felt nervous, but there was nothing she could do about it. Nobody would help her if she didn't do something for herself. She moved to the reception area after letting her gaze stray. “Please excuse me; I have an appointment with Mr. Denver for the new editor position.” “We have to get going, Madam. A visitor is set to arrive at the company. Sorry to be rude, but I'm unable to call him. You can, however, us
