" What I mean is, this is all your faulty, and because of the mistake you made you've just woke up. It means that my plans are hindering ". Josh return to his usual temper.

" Am sorry for that,sir. But I couldn't let you hit an old man like that,you might end up in prison for that".

" I don't like your sympathy, I can manage everything on my own and am always ready to bare the consequences that comes along with my mistakes".

" Then why do you include me in your revenge ".

" What do you mean?"

" I know everything about you,you're Josh Anderson. Marcus Anderson is your father and Emmanuel Anderson is your half brother. I also know the reason why you're so eager to work with his company".

" See, I don't know what you're talking about".

" The day that you lost your mother, I was there in the hospital. It was the same day that I lost my parents.

On that day,I was thinking about killing myself and join my parents. But as I was going ,I found you and your aunt talking about Marcus Anderson,and Marcus Anderson was the one who caused my parents' death. He was demanding them money and he always kept on threatening them that he will take our jewelry company inorder to pay their debts. On the day that my parents died, your dad came to our home,there was no one at home except my mother. He took that advantage and raped my mother.

My mother may she could no longer stand the pain of harassment so she killed herself. When my father came back,he found her dead and he also decided to kill himself.

When I came back from school,I found my parents' bodies floating in air. So when I found out that you also wanted to make revenge on him,I started to follow you. I have been noticing every move that you always made.

But my I don't have the intention of using his son to get my revenge and you shouldn't.

Let's just let the law handle him".

" The law,do you really think that there is any law on this earth? We're the law and if we fail to work,then no law will work. And please don't come in my way of revenge,am setting you free today. You no longer work for me.
