CHAPTER 19

It was evening. I started walking from the cemetery by hiring a cab. When I reached home, there was a crowd of media, and the press was still waiting outside somehow. I sneaked in without getting noticed, and when I entered, both my parents were sitting in the hall, paranoid of the situation and gloomy in their eyes, and I joined them. There were so many things running through my mind, and I wanted to hear only 'No, I didn't do any such things' from my dad; somewhere already I had accepted that he had done it, but there was just a hope of hearing 'No'. "Where is your boyfriend, Joshua, bloody bastard? Where the hell is he hiding?" "Dad, he is 'Miller'". "What?" "His real name is Joshua Miller; does it ring a bell, Dad?" "What, is he the son of William Miller?" "You do know his dad; were you responsible for destroying his family to get where you are? Please, no more lies; you are not going to achieve any more. I want to hear only the truth. Were you?" "I didn't plan that way; destroying his family was never my intention. I wanted him to be hospitalized for a year or more, or at least for a coma, when he was going on a business trip. I didn't know he was taking his family along with him. When I came to know it was too late to stop anything, I had planned a minor accident that didn't go according to my plan. "Wow, you are a murderer. Just to be in this position, you destroyed a family." "Please don't say that he didn't intend to do that. Trust your dad's word. We just thought not to miss the opportunity." These words from my mom hit me like a 'wave' She knew this. "You knew about his plan." "We had discussed it; he didn't do anything without my notice." "What a couple, partners in crime; you didn't try to stop him." "As I said, we don't want to miss this opportunity; who doesn't want to lead this life?" "And yet we are going to end up on a street congratulation on that." "No, hell no, common, take responsibility; you introduced him to us in the first place", my dad literally shouted this sentence, which only led my blood to boil: "Well, if I remember correctly, I introduced him as my friend; I never implied to 'adopt him' next time I will be fucking loud and clear", "There is no need to be sarcastic", "Well, you asked for it". There was a silence. "Do something get us out from this situation, we can't end up on the street", "Like what dad re-creating your plan, like 'minor accident' where he should end up in coma or years hospitalized, right like accident completely going accidental if that fucking make sense", "As I said that was not my intention I wanted to grab the opportunity", "Can you hear yourself, you were bloody incompetent from the beginning you concluded me as also like you, without even fucking giving a chance to prove myself, what the hell were you thinking", "I couldn't win over William he was brilliant, genius had every features which required to run a Company and I was lacking everywhere I had earned my designation with the help of him and also by stealing his ideas, which I am really not proud of. When James announced my name, I was shocked, but when William's name was also on that list, I gave up. At that second, it started bugging me. It was like God had given me the opportunity that I needed to grab at any cost; it was a do-or-die situation, so I chose to get that position at any cost. Joshua was a version of William, the perfect one I had been searching for; he had talent, passion, and was full of ideas. I was impressed you were in a relationship with him; everything was perfect. I wanted to merge my company with his dad's; after a few years, for namesake, you would be sitting in that position, and Joshua would handle everything. I trusted him too much; I had given him legal authorization, 'POA'; he had the authority to do anything or take any decision without my consent, and that was a bad decision. I wanted to secure the future of our family, yours, and my company."

Wow is he a businessman like really who on the right fucking mind give legal authorization to anyone are we fucking married, he didn't even think of informing me about this before, and when he does everything went out of our hands, "Well, that went very well we are straight away thrown on the street", "How the hell we suppose to lead a low life do something, he was your boyfriend were physical for 4 years take advantage of that", "Oh, I am not fucking pregnant", "I didn't imply that", "What were you implying dad, you should accept the fact nothing can be done it's too late for everything", "Beg him, plead him, ask for his forgiveness get back what was ours for God sake you were in a relationship for 4 years he got some attachment on you", "When my face was a reminder of a murderer how can he get attached to me, this was his 7 years plan he took what was rightfully belong to his family rather than sending you to the jail he thought it was a good idea to throw on the street he knows which one hit you very hard and he was dam right", "We can't leave rest of our life on the street for God sake once in your life take responsibility and do something go after him", is he bloody serious, "Dad, he left the country and is never going to come back. If you are talking about responsibility, I took responsibility for your doing, and paying for your sins that was not enough." My mom started sobbing. I am pretty sure she had pictured her coming days on the street. "We should get moving from your mansion without carrying anything, as we already received legal notice." "How the hell are we supposed to live life on the street, Goddam it?" "Do you have any other plans, Dad? If you do, please take your 'Queen' along with you. I don't have any problems if you don't have any. Please be free to follow me, and we are moving at midnight, as it will be easy. We would not face any persons from the media or press." They were silent and could only take their consent as if they had any other fucking option in front of them.
