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

    As June got into the house after Michael dropped her off that day, she didn't even wait to check if Layla was home, all she wanted was to tell Luna about what happened at work that day, she was so excited that she finally had Michael all to herself once again. It was better than the first time they were in a relationship. June searched for her phone in her bag and when she finally found it, she dropped down on the sofa in a hurry and dialed Luna's number. "June, I'm sorry I haven't called you since the last time we talked, shopping with your in-laws has to be the most stressful thing on the bride's list," Luna said "I know and I feel stressed for you, but it's only till you finally get the wedding dress. I know I should be with you right now and I'm sorry I'm here" June apologized"There is nothing for you to feel sorry about, as much as I would love to have my best friend by my side while shopping for my wedding dress, I couldn't ask you to leave your life and come over here becau

    Layla rushed back into the living room with a baseball bat in her hands, she held it and stared at James holding and stroking June's hair, her hands trembled as she stared at the ground where the pieces of the vase broke. "June, what's going on?" Layla asked and June stood still, tears rolled down her face but she was thankful that Layla couldn't see her. "Go up to your room" June's voice trembled as she said those words and it only made Layla worry the more. "What's wrong June?" She asked again"Don't come any closer, Layla, I want you to go back to your room, lock your door and wait for me. I will be right there" June said as she pushed James off her. Layla was reluctant, she didn't want to go and just kept staring at James and then at June. "Go," June said and she rushed back upstairs to her room leaving June alone again. "Please leave my house," June said to James and he smiled at her and tried to hold her but she moved away before he could touch her. "Why are you being like

    The next day, June was at work early, she had a long thought on whether to go to work after what James did to her in her house, she didn't know if she could handle seeing his psychotic face without getting scared or breaking down but Michael dropped her off. He promised her that James wouldn't be able to harm her since he is alive and that assured June so much that she held her head high when she got to the office but to her surprise, James didn't come to work.Just as June settled down to start the day's work, Andrew walked into the office wearing a wide grin. "Good morning June, did you sleep well?" He asked and June smiled at him"Good morning Andrew, I slept well thank you for asking. You?" She asked politely"It was okay I guess, I had to wake up super early today to get my kids to school because my wife had to work the night shift," He said "Wow Andrew, you are married and with not just one kid?" June asked in amazement. "I get that a lot June so I'm not going to be offended,

June dished the food into four plates and then she carried two plates back to the living room. Layla and Angel had finished building the fort there were building and we're currently laying it while watching television."Dinner is ready girls," June said and the two of them ran up to her, June gave Angel her food and helped her sit in the fort so she wouldn't pour the food away. "Thank you June," Angel said and began to eat. "Let me talk to you for a sec," June said to Layla and they walked to the sofa. "Are you enjoyi

    James turned the car around as he headed for the bar where he was supposed to meet Benjamin that night, he had planned to follow Michael and June all night and he would try to wipe that stupid smile they had on their faces but he couldn't because of the emergency text message he got from Benjamin asking them to meet up. For the past three weeks, he had been monitoring and following June and Michael around town, he knew where they went for dinner and he knew that she was now living with him which only meant one thing, she was dating Michael once again and that must be the reason why she refused his advances and tried to play smart. He would have June pay for everything. James got out of his car and then the bouncer ran up to him with haste. "Park the car well" James instructed and tossed the car keys to the bouncer who caught it. "Yes sir," He said and then left for the car to park in the garage. James got into the club and women dancing around the pole stared at him seductively, if

    "So I want you to look into the account and those transactions," Michael said and the man in front of him nodded as he flipped through the pages of the finance book. "It's nice that you finally have the account book with you or we wouldn't have known the legal name of the account, I just need two weeks to go through this. Normally without the account book, it would take me a month but with this, it will come sooner" He explained"Yes, if you need anything feel free to let me..." Michael was saying this when his phone began to ring. "Excuse me," He said to the man and then he moved away to check who was calling him. It was an unknown number so it came as a surprise and Michael thought hard about whether to take the call or not. He finally decided to because it might be someone he knew. "Hello, Michael Stahom on the line, and who am I speaking with?" Michael asked but there was a sob on the other line"Michael" Michael recognized the voice immediately he heard it, it was Layla, June'

    Layla stared at Drew who lay on the floor as they pulled her out of the car. "Let me go you" She yelled and the two men pulled her till they got to a moving van. They tried to load her into the van but she held into the handle and kept kicking and tossing. "Can't the two of you handle that little girl?" The man who was driving the van asked in a deep voice. They were three in total, the man driving the van and the two men holding her. Layla couldn't see their faces because they were putting on a mask. "Sorry boss but the girl is so energetic," They said"Then use the cloth on her, we can't miss this or you know what the boss will do," The man said "Yes, boss" The two men chorused. When Layla heard them say cloth, she knew it couldn't be something good, she had seen this type of scene in a movie where they drugged someone so they could kidnap the person. Layla couldn't let them use the cloth on her, whatever it had inside couldn't be good. She watched as one of the men reached for

    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

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.

    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
