"Michael, I need to think about what is going on between us before I can give you a reply, can you please wait till then?" June asked him and the smile on his face widened.

"Of course June, that's all I want to hear. I'm heading to the office now. if you need anything let me know" He said and then got into the car.

She waved till his car left the compound before going into the house to continue with the chores that she couldn't finish yesterday due to the news with her sister.

June cleaned the house and even replaced the flowers in the vase in the living room. When she finished with the chores, she made lunch, and then she decided to nap till Angel will get from home from school.

"You are back," June said and Angel nodded with a huge grin.

    John rolled down the glass at the backseat for Angel who was wearing a sad look. June stood by Michael's side outside, she was hiding her face from Angel because she didn't want the little girl to know that she had cried or that something was wrong with her. "Daddy, can't you and June come home with me?" She asked with a pout and Michael nodded."We need to head somewhere Angel, John will take you home and we will be with you shortly," Michael said and Angel nodded "I will see you at home daddy, I will show john my collection" Angel grinned at her dad. "Bye June," She said and June waved at her. The glass went back up and John started the car before driving away with Angel. "Let's go" Michael turned to June and She nodded her head in agreement. He held her shoulder and then led her to the place he parked his car. He opened the door for June and helped her into the car.

    "Thank you for today and for bringing me here to see my mum Michael I appreciate it," June said as the car came to a stop in front of the hospital. Michael helped her with her bag and then he passed it to her. "I told you to stop thanking me," He said and she smiled at him and unbuckled her seatbelt.

You need to rest and take care of your mother" Michael said "I will be fine Michael, you don't have to give me the day off tomorrow and besides Angel would be disappointed if you come home without me today, I can't disappoint her tomorrow also," June said and Michael nodded to agree with her. June pulled Michael in for a hug and his large arms were closed around her waist. "Goodnight June, see you tomorrow" He whispered in her ear and she nodded."Goodnight," She said and immediately got down from his car.

    June got up from the porch and marched towards Luna's car with anger the minute she saw her drive into the premises. She pulled the car door open and then slammed it shut. "Go easy on my car June," Luna said and June rolled her eyes at her. "You never keep to time, we agree to this time and then you show up hours later" June scolded Luna immediately after she got into the car "I am only late for ten minutes why the hell are you being so dramatic? Besides I remember that the day you cried your eyes out on my clothes I was pretty early" Luna said with a smirk and June wanted nothing more but to smack the smirk off her lips with her hands."That's different, that was an emergency so don't bring that into the matter and use it as an excuse for your lateness," June said with her arms crossed over her chest."I would rather spend my day alone at home checking ripped guys online than deal with your temper," Luna said and that kept June's mouth shut. June didn't want to spend her day off a

    "This is going to be the third time that this is happening with my important files in this office, now tell me what your job is as my secretary, what the hell is wrong with you" Michael yelled at his secretary."Mr. Stahom I swear I left the files on your table last night, you were out all day when the mail came in from Mr. Frank and I dropped it on your table so you would easily find it when you get back to work," She said."If you say you dropped the file then where did they go? Did they suddenly grow legs and run off or did they suddenly grow wings and then fly away, let me know" Michael said angrily. "I don't know how they got missing Mr. Stahom I really don't know how," She said "You had better start searching for it this instant or you will be fired, This happened the first time I let you off the hook, it repeated itself the second time, I let you go because we found the backup, and now the third time, you don't expect me to go to Frank and ask for another copy of the proposal

    "Do you want me to wait up and drop you guys at Michael's house?" Luna asked June when they got to Angel's school."Why are you offering to drop us home?" June asked and Luna chuckled"No smoking weed, I will just drop you guys off and be on my way if it's fine with you," Luna said "Fine, let me bring Angel out, and in the meantime, why don't you park your car well," June said and Luna nodded "Aye, aye captain," She said and June rolled her eyes before she got down from the car.

"June" She yelled and ran up to her to hug her, her friend ran after her and hugged June too. "Now who do we have here Angel?" June asked Angel as she looked at her friend.

    As soon as Michael dropped the phone call, his secretary came back inside the office. "So what happened, were you able to get to the two of them?"Michael asked and she nodded "No sir, they are currently out of their offices on a business trip. They left earlier this morning" She said"And did you ask when they would be back?" He asked "Yes sir, their secretaries gave the same response sir, they don't know.

    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

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.
