"Come on let's go to the park" Layla begged for the tenth time that afternoon. "No," June said and turned to face the other angle of the sofa she was laying down, ignoring Layla's puppy dog eyes. "June, I'm bored and I haven't been to this park since we moved here, please let's go" She begged and June blocked her ear with her hands. "Don't be such a pest Layla. Go by yourself if you want to have fun. I want to be here in my house, on my comfortable sofa, and rest" June said and Layla hissed. "If I go myself, I hope I get kidnapped and then you will hear it on the news and wish you went with me," Layla said and June's eyes fluttered open and she sat up on the chair. "Do you think getting kidnapped is a good thing, just don't speak words so easily, as if they mean nothing" June scolded her sister. "Now you are awake June, please go with me to the park. We haven't had a sister's day bond since Luna left. I want to spend time with you too" Layla said and June smiled. "You should ha

"Why did you ask for a meeting so early, do you want people to see us together?" Benjamin asked as soon as he got into James' car. "That's not a way to greet your brother and I know that well but this June woman is such a handful" James yelled as he punched the car roof.Benjamin let out a loud chuckle as he watched James act like a child just because of the strange woman. "Seeing you this way makes me laugh," Benjamin said "You are really enjoying this aren't you," James said with a scowl. "I'm sorry, tell me what happened, what got you worked up?" Benjamin asked "June, I gave her a job, I give gifts to her every day and I even forgive her stupid flaws at work and then I asked her to go out with me, it wasn't even official. I just wanted her to know me more but she refused. Each time she would kick me out of her house with one excuse or the other and I hate it" James yelled"Calm down James or you might alert the attention of people towards the car. It might be black glasses but

June left his office and Michael's secretary stared at her and then at the shirt before giving her a look of disgust. She scoffed and began to type on her laptop with her neatly manicured hands. June sighed and left the floor because she wasn't even in the mood to make enemies or friends. Her heart was currently sinking and it was her fault. When she got out of the elevator and moved to the direction of her office, she met a woman drinking coffee while talking to Andrew, James's assistant. "June, where were you, I searched all over for you," The woman said and sat on June's desk"I will leave now" Andrew excused himself and left the office for them. June sighed and began to mark the list of things to do. "Why did you change your blouse to this? I really liked that one" The woman asked and June stared at Michael's shirt and then at the woman's face. "I spilled coffee on it so I had to remove it" June replied and the woman rolled her eyes before staring at the cloth closely. "I hav

June couldn't find a cab when she left the company in anger, she couldn't stop crying and didn't want James to give her a ride home. Not that he even tried to ask her but she didn't blame him, she didn't expect him to drive her home after she yelled at him earlier. If he even decided to fire her, it wouldn't be his fault. After standing in front of the company for hours, the clouds suddenly began to appear and the sky started getting darker, June could feel the air getting colder. Rain was coming. "This day couldn't get any worse right now," She said and then ran up to the glasshouse to stand there, rain began to pour down in a few minutes. How the hell was she going to get home in this kind of weather? The weatherman didn't talk about the weather turning to a shower so she didn't bother to take an umbrella. She just hoped that Layla had an umbrella with her so she wouldn't be drenched. The car honk brought her out of her thoughts as she stared at the car that was parked in front o

June locked herself in the office after the woman left and there was still no sign of James, she concluded that he didn't come to work that day, was she too harsh on him yesterday? He didn't look like a man that wouldn't be at work because he got rejected or was he that childish? Anyways, whether he was childish or not, she wasn't going to care about him. Instead, she was going to look into what Charlotte said two days ago, She decided to start investigating the finance book and then go through the accounts to know what happened to the missing money. When June scanned through the book she figured out that the money Michael lost months ago was never found and in the ledger, other amounts were removed from the company's account that wasn't accounted for in the finance book. Things were going on in this company, strange things because who the hell owned this unknown account that the money was going into it had been going on for two years now but they started with little amounts of mone

June stopped in front of the big door, she wondered if it was Benjamin's office, should she knock and get in the room to ask for James, was it appropriate to show James the ledger and the account book when he isn't in the office? What if James wasn't in this office and then Benjamin asked her to give him the list? So many possibilities ran through June's mind as she stood in front of the door. "It doesn't matter, it's important" She whispered under her breath and held the doorknob when she heard the voice inside the office. "If our plan goes as we wanted, then we would get Michael to go down on his knees to beg," A man said and then another man laughed. June knew that laughter, belonged to James so the other man had to be Benjamin. June didn't think she was supposed to be eavesdropping but they were talking about Michael, what did they mean by making him get down on his knees to beg?"Yes Benjamin, we have gone so far now and there is no way to be stagnant. June has been a wonderfu

Lauren held June as she cried. The other woman was so confused because June just came to the house, saying things that she didn't understand and crying. June's phone began to ring and Lauren stood up from her side before she picked June's bag up, she searched through the bag and then found the phone. She stared at the screen to see Michael's face written on it in italics. "June, I think Mr. Stahom is calling you," Lauren said "Michael?" June asked suddenly and Lauren nodded her head in affirmation. June wiped her eyes and took the phone from Lauren with shaky hands. "June" Michael called but June didn't reply, she was still overwhelmed by the fact that he was perfectly alright and wasn't hurt by his brothers. "June, are you there?" Michael asked again bringing her back to her senses. "Michael, where are you?" June asked answering his question with another question."I'm at the office, why?" He asked and anger filled June as she remembered when Michael's secretary had told her tha

"I'm looking out for you because I love you, Michael," The moment June said those words, both hers and Michael's eyes opened in shock. She loved him but she didn't expect that she would declare it and tell him so suddenly but his words made her confess how she felt. "What did you just say June?" Michael asked and June frowned. "What do you mean by that, I said that your brothers are trying to hurt you, they want to kill you Michael and it's my business because you are involved" She repeated and Michael pulled her hand and stared into her eyes. "Not that June, I don't care about that," He whispered. "Then what do you want to hear again?" She asked in anger. This was enough for him to know the kind of men his brothers were so why wasn't he believing her now? "The other thing June, you said you love me," Michael said and her eyes widened. "Yes Michael, I love you" June didn't know where the courage came from, whether it was the way his hand felt on her skin, or it was the way his e

Michael was with Frank when he got the call from his brothers, Frank tried to calm him down and tell him that he can figure a way out but Michael wasn't ready to listen to him. Immediately Michael called his lawyer. "Mr Stahom, I have prepared the papers for the lawsuit, I will be ready when you are ready" He said "That's not the issue, I need you to draft up all the documents of the entire company in thirty minutes and then send it to me, I will sign it" Michael said "What do you mean by that Mr Stahom, what do you need the entire papers of the company for?" The lawyer asked "I don't have the time to answer your questions so please just do as I say and let me have it. I will be with you in an hour to sign them" Michael said and hung up on him. "Michael, you can still think this through, this is your company we are talking about here, something that you spent all your years trying to build Michael, you can't give it all up in an hour. calm down Michael, we can still figure somet

The girls got ready for school the next day and Michael got down the stairs, they didn't know that he was around the day before. "Daddy" Angel yelled and she got down and ran to hug him, Michael hugged her back "Darling, how are you doing?" Michael asked "I'm fine daddy, when did you come home?" Angel asked"I arrived last night baby and you were sleeping then," Michael said and she nodded. "Mr. Stahom, how was your trip?" Layla asked "It was fine Layla, I did what I wanted to do thanks for asking. I hope you girls didn't disturb June too much while I was away?" Michael asked "Not at all, I made Angel behave too," Layla said and Michael grinned. "Daddy we baked, we watched movies, had ice creams, and slept with June in your bedroom every night, I love it but I just missed you so much daddy," Angel said "I know baby and I missed you so much, that's why I came back to see you. but you have to go to school now so I will see you when you get back" Michael said and she nodded"Okay,

Michael got into his hotel room after leaving the meeting and he laid down on his bed feeling extra tired from the days work, he spent the whole day talking to so many men because of the new business. He hadn't told anyone that he was opening up another branch, he didn't even tell June yet because he wanted it to be a surprise. But when he got home, since this trip was successful and the business would soon be set up, he would bring it up and tell her all about it. He had spoken to Angel because June said she missed him and he missed her a lot too, after tonight, he planned on taking the first flight home to surprise them. He was looking forward to their reactions when he would get home. He removed his next tie and stared at the ceiling when his phone began to ring again. It was June, he thought as he stared at the screen, he smiled to himself and picked up the phone ready to tease her. "I thought you didn't miss me, then why are you calling me June?" Michael asked with a smirk "Mi

June was in the kitchen making dinner while her sister and Angel are playing in the living room. She put the food in the oven when Angel ran into the kitchen and then walked her to her with a frown. "June" She called in a silent voice and it was at that moment that June knew that the little girl was feeling down. "What's wrong Angel, aren't you playing with Layla anymore? Or are you hungry because I'm making dessert right now and dinner is almost done" June said and she nodded in refusal? "Where is daddy June, when is he going to come back?" Angel asked with a frown. June dropped the spoon she was holding and then took off the apron around her waist and hugged Angel. "Do you miss your daddy?" June asked and Angel nodded her head in agreement. "I'm sorry honey, it's been days since you saw him. Michael must also miss you, he was in a meeting when I called him earlier this morning" June said "Can I call daddy now, I want to talk to him June, I miss him?" Angel said and June smiled

Michael bent down, his lips against her cheek, brushing it lightly, and still, that light touch sent shivers through her nerves, shivers that made her whole body tremble. He brushed his mouth against the hollow of her temple and then his lips were on hers again. June stood on her toes and reached up as she pulled him down to her, He kissed her gently, carefully, but it wasn’t the gentleness she wanted, not now, not after all this time, and she knotted her fists in his shirt, pulling him harder against her body. He groaned softly, low in his throat, and then his arms circled her waist, gathering her against him, still kissing. His lips tasted like honey. They stopped to catch their breath.He smashed his lips on hers again. she tasted so sweet and he could smell her perfume from how close they were. Slowly, he lifted her from the ground and carried her to the counter so she would sit before he spread her legs open. "Wait in the kitchen?" she asked with her eyes open wide. "I don't

Michael had finally calmed down from his paranoia so the girls are allowed back to school after two weeks, He found out about a last-minute trip to New Orleans so he was going to leave with his secretary. He couldn't ask June to go with him because he knew that she had to watch the kids. "I would have asked you to go with me but I know you wouldn't agree to go with me because of the kids," Michael said as he tossed his clothes on the bed. "I asked you to fold them" June complained and then folded them for him before she placed them into his box neatly. "I have you to do it for me," He said and she rolled her eyes at him. "I know, I want to follow you too, get time to ourselves, time away from the girls but I can't leave them at the same time because of how things are now, the cops haven't caught the other men who tried to kidnap Layla or the actual person who gave the orders so we have to be careful," June said and he nodded. "I know that baby, and if it weren't for the fact that

That evening, Michael watched as June baked a cake with her sister and Angel in the kitchen. "Stop standing there, at least make yourself useful even if you can't bake Michael," June said and he frowned. "I'm fine with just watching you bake for the kids from this place June so ignore me and keep doing what you are doing," Michael said "I'm done, I just have to put the slices in a plate for the kids and then I will be with you," June said and Michael nodded. When Angel saw that June had finished baking, Layla was washing the pans in the sink while June cut the cake into big slices, Angel rushed over to where her dad was standing and then beckoned for him to bend down."You want to tell daddy something?" Michael asked and she nodded. He bent down and then she grabbed his hair "Daddy, I just want to tell you that June is a great mummy to me" Angel whispered in his ear and Michael beamed with joy. He was overwhelmed with so many emotions at that moment and was glad that Angel thinks

For the next two days, Michael refused to let the kids go into the compound to play because he was scared that anything would happen to them. They went to work with the bodyguards, some guarded the house and the kids followed two other with Shawn as the driver since he was someone Michael trusted them with. He was worried that anyone might try to kidnap someone again, it might not be Layla this time but it might be Angel or even June and he couldn't take any risks, they were all important to him and they each had the roles to play in his life.Michael didn't go to work today, he wanted to work from home because he had some calls to answer and he wanted to do it at his study, the kids were currently back from school and were eating while June was upstairs in the bedroom doing her leftover work from the office.

Michael's phone began to ring again and they ignored the call thinking it was the head of the IRS department that might be calling. But June couldn't focus on any other thing the way the phone was ringing so she picked up the call for Michael. "Good afternoon, Mr. Stahom isn't in a position to receive a call now, you can leave me a message to give to him or call him again in the next one hour," June said politely "I'm sorry ma'am but it's important, can you tell him that the chief of police would like to speak to him, concerning the case with the attempted kidnap from yesterday?" The man said and as June heard him mention attempted kidnap, her heart began to race and immediately she understood that it had to do with Layla. "Hello, are you still there ma'am?" The man asked disturbing her thoughts and she remembered she was on a call before. "I will tell him, please hold on," June said and then she placed the call on hold before turning to Michael."Michael" June called and he looke
