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.

    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,

    Later when they got home, Michael went into the study because he had a video call to receive from an investor while Layla and Angel were in the living room building a fort worth the pillows, June was in the kitchen, making them dinner.She couldn't stop thinking of what had happened between them in the car, they would have fucked right there if not that someone reported Michael's car and then they got pulled over by a cop, they had to pay a fine before he let them go. 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

    Michael dropped the phone and turned to his secretary who was still standing in front of him. "Is anything the problem sir?" She asked when she saw the expression on his face. "It's nothing, I just have to step out of the office for a few minutes" He lied and began to pack his wallet and his phone. "Where are you going Mr. Stahom, do you need me to drive you three?" She asked and he groaned. "Where are my car keys?" He asked and she stared at him in confusion before staring at the car keys laying on the table in front of him. "Your car keys are right in front of you Mr. Stahom, are you sure you can even drive the car in this kind of condition?" She asked and Michael let his hand run through his hair as he picked up the car keys from the table. "Thank you, you don't have to go with me. I'm not a kid, stay in the office and monitor whatever goes out or comes in. If I don't give you the orders to do anything, don't do it" Michael gave out the detailed instructions even though he was

    "I haven't seen Michael at all since I went downstairs with Eden. Have you seen him?" June asked Michael's secretary when she got back to the office. "If you didn't see him then it means that he isn't in his office" She replied harshly and June frowned at her. "Look I'm not in the mood for whatever Scheme you have planned in mind today, do you know where Michael went to or not?" June asked and his secretary rolled her eyes at her."I don't like you" She finally confessed and June burst into laughter. She placed her fists on the table "I knew since the day we locked eyes that you didn't like me but honestly I don't care" June said and his secretary's eyes widened in shock as she stared at her in anger. "Do you know where Michael is or not, that's the question" June asked again the woman considered telling June that Michael had gone to the hospital to make her go crazy with fear but she had promised Michael that she wouldn't tell June, Michael had warned her not to and even threatene

    "Get your bags now or you will be late" June yelled and Angel ran upstairs to pick up her school bag. "Angel gets so forgetful these days," Layla said and June nodded. She wondered what was going on inside that little head of hers. "I'm here" Angel yelled and Layla held her hand as the two of them went outside, they got into the car with the driver and the two bodyguards that went with them to school. This has been going on for the past twelve hours and June was already getting sick of it. "I will see you guys at home when you get back. let's have ice cream" Michael said to the girls "Yes" They chorused before the guards drove them out of the compound to school, Layla was going to start her first day at the high school beside Angel's school because of what happened the day before and the two girls had bodyguards with them at all times. Which of course the girls found amusing but June couldn't quite get used to it yet. "Now it's our turn to leave for work. come on" Michael said an

    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.

    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.

    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
