"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 should take the rest of the day off today June, if you want to take tomorrow off too, I won't stop you. 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. She didn't wait for him to drive away before she walked away from the ca
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. Luna drove away and she went into the school, It was easy for her to spot Angel who was sitting on the sand playing with another girl."Angel" June called with a smile and at the sound of her name, June's head shot up and she wore the cutest grin. "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. "This is Hannah, she likes my hair," Angel said and June patted Hannah's head. "Are you
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. Mr. Benjamin is out of the country at the moment and won't be back till later this week but Mr. James's secretary doesn't know when he will come back" She said"Fuck fuck, get out. I sent someone to bring me my laptop, when she gets here, let her in" Michael said and she nodded and left the office. Michael picked up his phone and dialed his elder brother's number, Benjamin was the only one who was capable of causing any harm to him and the business but James wasn't that kind of man. "To what do I owe this heartwarming call brother," Benjamin said with a chuckle. Michael could tel
June stood up from the sofa when she heard Michael honk. She checked the time to see that it was almost 11 pm, She didn't know that she would stay that long but she couldn't leave Angel all alone at home when Michael wasn't home.Michael got into the house and he stared at June in shock, she gave a little smile and he smiled back. "You are still here," He asked but it was more like a statement."I'm here, you don't expect me to leave Angel all alone at home when you aren't here," June said and he nodded."Have you had dinner?" He asked "I should be asking you that considering the fact that you worked all day," June said "I didn't have dinner yet but the snacks you sent to me earlier worked just fine," Michael said and she nodded. He stared around the living room and she cleared her throat. "Are you looking for Angel, she is up in her room, I took her there after dinner" June said and he nodded. The air between them was so fucking awkward and June didn't know what to do. She had so
"Do you want me to pick you up when you are done?" June asked Layla as she packed her bags into the truck that came to pick her up. She was going on a field trip for that day and would be back by nighttime, just in time for dinner."We have gone over this a hundred times already, the bus will bring me home June, don't worry and have fun with mum today, "Layla said and June nodded "I know but if you need me to come to pick you up, just call me okay," June said and Luna rolled her eyes "Jeez let the little girl go already, it's just for a few hours and you are acting like an old grandma," Luna said and June shot her a hard glare"Bye June, bye Luna" Layla laughed and they hugged her before she left the house for the bus that was parked right outside the house. Luna turned to June with her hands on her waist "Okay something is up with you, what is it?" She asked"Nothing, I'm fine" June muttered not meeting Luna's eyes. "You should be going crazy right now because you are late for wo
"I got the call from the real estate investor a few hours ago Mr. Stahom" Michael's secretary said as she passed the files to Michael and Frank who was currently sitting in the office trying to come up with a strategy for the product. "And what did he say?" Frank asked as he opened the file "He told me to arrange a meeting with you two, he would love to see you by the end of the week, Friday actually," She said and Michael nodded."That's tomorrow evening, do you have anything planned for tomorrow frank?" Michael asked frank "I will check with my secretary first and then get back to you Michael," Frank said "Anything is fine with me, I want us to close this up and start the process immediately," Michael said and Frank nodded in agreement. "Can you get you coffee Mr. Stahom, Mr. Frank?" She asked"Yes you can, I don't drink black coffee like your boss here, I like a lot of cream in mine, thank you," Frank said "Okay sir, I will be back," She said, and then she left the office. Fr
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. "I can't find them, I thought I asked you to name the folder under Frank's name or didn't I?" Michael asked his secretary on call"I must have misplaced it with Mr. Collins's f
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
