At that time, he only took it as a joke and smiled about it, and a short few years later, he heard that in the business world there was a new person called Joshua Caunter, and he was the leader who couldn’t be stopped. Then, he started being afraid that his own son might turn on him.
Since then, he has trained a lot of murderers, trying to get his son down, but every time he failed in doing so.
This son of his, was too strong.
He lowered his hand, suddenly, Albert aged another ten years. He was beaten by his own son, and he didn’t feel good about it in his heart.
“I know that you have been holding on to what happened to your mother and sister, but those already happened right? What you need to do is to let it go, and focus what is still to come. What we need to do is to cooperate, we are going to bring so much pride to the Caunter family!”
The put down all his arrogance and all his pride, hoping that he could convince his son. He wasn’t very sure about how far his son has already come. If he knew, that Joshua’s company was already the top few internationally, who knew what he would do.
Those years, when he was abroad, his company also moved abroad with him, and he didn’t pay much attention to what was going on back home, plus, Joshua was always very humble, the newspapers barely wrote about him.
Joshua laughed and nodded his head.
“Those things didn’t have to happen, did they? I am not interested in the cooperation with you, so…” He shook his head, deep in thoughts.
“You are asking me out!” Albert yelled, he didn’t expect his son to be so heartless to him.
“Of course, I don’t want to see you anymore, you have killed so many of my relatives, so, the next time I see you again, I am not going to be this nice to you again.” He stepped on the stairs, and left the startled Albert where he was.
Albert went back to America without a word, and Annie was alone, she thought she could depend on Albert, but she didn’t know how useless he was. Even though she was allowed to stay since Abigail allowed it, and she was still Joshua’s fiance, but, it was never sure when Joshua might change his mood again, asking her to leave again.
She couldn’t stand that, she couldn’t even imagine her life after leaving the Caunter house.
Right now, when she was walking down the street, people would look at her and be jeaouls, she would raise her chin up high. The was the little ugly duck that now was the pretty swan, and soon, she would be a phoenix as well. The best one in the world!
But, before that, she had another stone standing in her way, Abigail.
Not only that, the point was, that Joshua has never even looked at her righteous.
She had to get rid of Abigail, and at the same time she had to win over Joshua. Her fists clenched, she hit them on the table, the picture of her in the mirror equaled to a devil, but she didn’t care for it.
What should she do to get Joshua?
Her fingers ran over the little cosmetic box on her table, in there, a small paper wrap caught her attention.
Right, with pills!
She took out the wrap, last time she used it on him, and that’s the only reason why they were caught in bed and their engagement announcement went high and hot in the papers. Joshua didn’t know about it till today, and that was all her own work.
She put it back again, satisfied. Her face showed a dark smile. Joshua, don’t even think about getting away from me.
She clenched her fist again, as if she was holding Joshua in her hands.
Joshua had a lot of energy, Abigail’s body was already hurting but she was still held by him. The whole night, he was going wild on her, as if he would never get tired.
When the sun was rising from the horizon, he finally got off her and went to sleep, like a wild tired lion.
Abigail felt as if her body was about to fall apart, her stomach was hurting a little, and she immediately got worried.
These days, he was always like that, he couldn’t get enough of her every night, but he was only calling out Michelle’s name.
Whenever that happened, Abigail would wake up from the good times that he brought to her, it felt as if she was falling out of the sky. Shy would start to resist him, try to push him off, but her resistance only made him wilder, he did not only not stop, but he went even harder.
Abigail’s body was hot, but her heart was cold.
She had already accepted the name he gave her, she had accepted her fate, but why did she still care so much when he was calling out Michelle’s name?
When was she going to stand in front of him, and tell him, my name is Abigail?
Or when would he himself start to call her by her own name?
This was almost impossible. She shook her head, her soft black her was shaking with her, then stopped around her head beautifully.
Her skin was light as snow, her face was soft, and the hair on top of her head, this all made her look pretty and sexy, she looked enchanting and soft, the way she looked, she could draw the attention of men around the whole world.
She really was a beauty, but now, she was laying in the arms of this cold blooded business murderer.
She looked at Joshua who was fast asleep and closed her eyes, the tears running down on the pillow.
…
Joshua’s elegant handsome body was coming down the stairs, he was feeling different these days, and couldn’t help but to have sex with her a few more times. When he woke up in the morning, he saw the dried tears on her face, and was very unhappy about it.
Was she feeling bad being with a man like him? To punish her, he didn’t care if she was still sleeping, and had sex with her another time.
He licked his lips like a lion who just finished a big meal, and now, he had to rush to his office to take care of a few things.
Annie was waiting for him, she would look up the stairs once in a while, and when she saw Joshua’s handsome shadow, her face lit up with a smile.
“Joshua!” She said, as if she was the wife waiting for her husband to get up, “Have you slept well last night?”
Joshua didn’t answer her, and nodded. That woman gave him a really good feeling, he couldn’t deny that these nights were like a dream to him, he couldn’t get away from her anymore.
Even though he didn’t sleep enough, but he was more than satisfied, his mood was better than just good.
So, he didn’t care about this annoying fly in front of him.
“Joshua, can I come with you to the office?” Annie was saying the words she has been practicing the whole night. When she saw the questioning look on Joshua’s face, she quickly explained, “I know, before, Michelle would go to your office to bring you lunch, she even told me that you like fish soup. I know how to make that, can I bring it to you when it’s done?”
Unbelievable, Joshua sighed, and showed his annoyance, he raised his head, and he saw Abigail come into his sight, her face was pale and she had a glass of water in her hands.
He suddenly wanted to hurt her, so he said, “Sure, that’s best!”
“Joshua, you agreed!” Annie didn’t think that he would say yes so quickly, and was so happy about it. If Joshua wasn’t still standing there, she would jump up in happiness.
This time, she succeeded, and she decided to change the pills, she would use one that would allow her to successfully be his wife, one that would let him and her feast away.
Abigail had no water in her room, so she had no choice but to go downstairs to get some water. She didn’t know that so many people would be awake so early, she was only wearing her pyjamas, and ran into those two.
She backed away, afraid to get the attention of them, and stood there alone.
She didn’t want Joshua to see her, and until he left, she still didn’t know that what he said was to get back at her.
Annie has gained the attention of Joshua again, and now, he won’t go to her every night anymore, which was good, she didn’t think her child would stand the wild nights.
She would have some room to breath, and this was better for her baby, she was more than just happy about it.
Joshua thought he would see a disappointed face, but what he saw was happiness. And his mood was even worse now, he pushed Annie away, and smashed the door of the living room.
Annie was a little startled, but her happiness came back fast. She didn’t expect him to say yes to her request, she was even prepared to have to convince him more.
“This is great! I am going to by some pretty clothes.” She raised her leg, and grabbed the bag next to her, and got into her car to drive to the mall.
A busy day started in his office, he had meetings the whole forenoon with all kinds of leaders in his company, then he finally got back to his office, frowning.
“President.” His assistant said to him, dressed professionally, and came towards him. “There is a Miss Annie outside, she said she has a lunch appointment with you.”
She blinked her eyes, showing a sly smile.
During work hours, she was his assistant, but after work, she was not only his best friends fiance, but also one of his good friends.
Only then Joshua remembered the appointment he made in the morning, he actually wanted to decline, but then he knitted his eyebrows, and took out his phone.
“Lambert? Go and get Abigail to my office, now.”
“Did you hear? Later when Abigail arrives downstairs, ask her to come up here.” He hung up the phone and demanded.
Ashley smiled, and didn’t forget to neck him, “This doesn’t happen often, not only one woman having lunch with you, but two! Mr. Caunter, you really are something!”
“Why, you wanna join? I don’t mind.” Joshua said and saw Quinn coming closer.
“Don’t you dare!” Quinn has already heard their conversation from far away, now he was taking Ashley into his arms, warning Joshua.
Joshua humphed, and Ashley pulled Quinn out of the office.
Annie was wearing a purple short suit, sitting in front of Joshua’s office waiting. When she saw him, she waved her little hand to him, so happy that her red lips couldn’t close anymore.
“Joshua, are you tired?” She put the lunch box in her hand on his table, and sat down next to him, her legs touching his. This was the resting room of the president, no one was going to disturb them there.
Joshua leaned his tired body into the couch, the whole forenoon was very busy, and he felt that he needed some rest. He closed his eyes, and rubbed his brows, and answered Annie’s question in silence.
Annie looked at the soup on his table, she asked a five star chef to make it for her, and she had added what she needed in there. She took a look at Joshua, his handsome face didn’t even need any medication to make her blood rush, she wanted to throw herself on him, and take him all in.
She took out the spoon and put it in the bowl of soup, then she brought it to Joshua.
“Joshua, I made this especially for you, try some.”
Even though his eyes were closed, but he took in every move she was making. He reached for the soup annoyed, and took a sip.
It tasted wonderful, but he didn’t have any interest at all. He took a sip, and held it in his mouth, his brows knitted even deeper, and he asked, “Which chef made this?”
