The Billionaires Big PHAT Secret

Chapter Thirty- nine

Last night was the first I'v ever done something so bold and exotic before. Joshua was as shocked as I was, but nevertheless it went ok. All the books I'v read and the movies I'v seen I think I did well. After all was done last night we layed in bed and talk, we talked about our childhood and growing up.

"Growing up I was never afforded the luxury that the other kids had. Having play dates, birthday parties with your close friends or going to a regular school and meeting regular kids. My teenage years weren't any better. I wasn't allowed to go to parties with friends and get drunk. Normal things that other teenagers that were my age got to do, I could."

I didn't know that he had it that rough.

"My father was all about business, I appreciated that but he robbed me of my childhood, at least a normal life. I was all study, work and more study for me cause I had to learn to be focused and equipped for and situations. He wanted us to be business minded, hard working and head strong."

When he spoke the hurt in his voice was vesble, he held nothing back and I didn't mind cause I secretly was admiring that side of him.

"But I had reach a point in my life where I wanted to take my life back. At the age of seventeen took control in leading my life the way I chose." A husky chuckle escaped his throat. "Father was not happy about that, he was use to everyone doing as he said so he was shocked to see me take a stand and he respected that. I think that is on of the reasons why he is allowing me to take full control of the company."

It is such a huge responsible for someone so young but knowing him nothing is hard or challenging. He made it through this far and I know he will make it even further. I turned under the covers to face him and he was still fast asleep. I didn't want to wake him because it's not often he takes time off from the office so I want him to get as much rest as possible.

I silently got up from the bed, trying as hard as possible not to wake him up. When I was finally off the bed I looked around the room. "Maybe he still as some dirty secret lying around here." I said with a sinister smile on my face.

I walked over to a little desk which had pictures of him, his brother and parents. One photo showed a partially toothless Josh, about five years old smiling wildly holding up a rock. "Awww, he was so cute" but I said the words mentally. I bet chicks were as crazy about him then as they are now. That last thought had me a little jealous.

The desk had two draws in it. The first one was filled with magazines and a few papers. When I opened the second on, it was so neatly fixed. Just like the other draw this one had papers and magazines. There was a book beneath a few of the magazine. "The lost ship" The title sounded promising, I could read it to keep me occupied until Joshua wakes up and if its good I'll take it home with me.

I took the book from the draw, closing very softly and took the book to the couch in the room. I read the bio on the back and it was ok. When open the book, something falling from it to the floor caught my eye. When I picked it up I was confused. Why would he have a picture if liz.

I turned to the page that the photo fell from and there was a little note.

'Hope you have a happy birthday love. See you soon.' -much love, liz

Millions and millions of questions where flying through my mind. Why would he have a photo of here, she never told me about knowing Joshua or even communicating with him.

My chest felt tight and I knew it was because I was over thinking the situation. I'm sure it was nothing, liz would never do anything to hurt me. I know thatfor sure.

I sat there with my elbows on my knees and my head hung low. I was deciding whether or not if I should just go and kick his ass from the bed or let him sleep. The million dollar question was, what was he doing with Liz's picture in his bed room?
