"Mum" June cried out as the door to the room opened, three nurses came rushing into the room as they helped her mum up from the floor and moved her back to the bed.

Layla sat in a corner of the room crying her eyes out. She watched as the nurses gathered around her mum in fear and June saw her sister looking so scared, she knew that she had to be strong. She couldn't bear to be sad and in tears along with her sister, she had to be the strong one as the older one.

"Can you please excuse us?" A man who came into the room with the nurses earlier asked June.

"Who are you? will she be okay? where is doctor Rachael?" June asked the man so many questions.

"I'm doctor Ryan, I'm the doctor on duty and I will take care of your mother and examine her before I confirm the situation" He explained and June nodded as she sniffed.

"Okay, doctor Ryan. will my mother be okay? what happened to her? why did she collapse when she was just fine some seconds ago?" June asked and the man put his two hands

    "How could you keep something like that to yourself June, if you had called me, I would have picked up the phone and dragged my ass back to the hospital for you," Luna said and June laughed as she changed the position of her phone on her ear. "What can I get you ma'am" The man finally got to their table and brought out his pen and book. Layla stared at June with a frown. "Hold on," June said to Luna before she turned to the man with a smile. "Can we get the strawberry shake and vanilla ice cream please?" June said to the man in front of her. "Okay, anything else?" The man asked them after he had written it down. Layla stared at the glasses in front of them with her hand on her chin. "Let's have cake too," Layla said "What kind of cake would you like to order?" He asked "Give us the best kind there is," June said and the man nodded before leaving their table for another. "I'm going to use the bathroom," Layla said as she excused herself from the table. June stared at her sister

    "I don't know why I feel like my brothers are behind this but I can't just jump to conclusions, first I have to make sure you and your sister are safe," Michael said and June nodded in agreement to what he said. She didn't even care about herself at this point but Layla because she couldn't bear what would happen if the reporters get her address and come to her house or worse what if they came to Layla's school to harass her? The feel of Michael's hand on her hand brought her back to reality as she stared at him. He gave her a reassuring smile and June couldn't help but smile back at him. "It's fine June, they won't go further than this, I will protect you and your sister's images with my life so you can calm down now," Michael said "I'm sorry, is it so obvious that I'm worried about it? I know that you won't let anything go wrong but Michael I'm not just scared for me or my sister, I'm scared for you too. I know that we are in a relationship but it's not an open one and only peopl

    "Daddy, when am I going to see June?" Angel asked her dad when he picked her up at school. Michael had also given John the day off since his wife gave birth two weeks ago. She got into the backseat of the car and Michael closed the door for her before he got into the driver's seat of the car. "Buckle your seatbelt baby," Michael said to Angel and she nodded before she buckled her belt. Michael buckled his belt and started the car. "Daddy, I said where is June, I miss her," Angel said again as she called Michael's attention by kicking his seat. "June is busy baby, but you will see her soon," Michael said before he started the car. "When is it going to be daddy, I have something to tell her," She asked "I will let you talk to her on the phone when we get home okay, spend more time with daddy," Michael said and Angel let out a sigh before she frowned. "Okay daddy" Angel muttered and Michael stared at her from his rear mirror before he focused on the road. "Daddy" She called"Yes,

    "I just told the principal that you are sick and so you won't be in school today," June told Layla as soon as she dropped the call with the principal at Layla's school. She had gone inside Layla's room to check on her earlier that morning when she found her still laying on the bed even though she was already late for school only to find out that Layla had menstrual cramps and couldn't get out of bed. "Thank you June" Layla whispered from the sofa. June joined her on the chair and carried the bowl of popcorn on her lap as they continued to watch the movie "Next time you should tell me when you get unbearable cramps instead of staying indoors crying" June warned and Layla nodded"You know how disgusting I find it disgusting those topics with you and mum," Layla said "Well I find it disgusting too but what can I do, it's normal and we can't keep it to ourselves," June said "Did you usually get bad cramps too during high school?" Layla asked June and the question caught her off guard

    "Shawn your job starts now. They are in your hands, keep them safe" Michael said "Yes boss," Shawn said and Michael held his shoulder and gave him a head nod. Shawn left the living room for the compound and Michael turned to June who was staring at the house. "Is it really okay for us to stay here? Michael, we can stay at your house with you and Angel" June said and Michael smiled at her. "Yes June it's really okay for you to stay here, I remember that you disagreed with me when I asked you to stay with Angel and me earlier," Michael said "But that was before we fell in love Michael," June said. "June it's fine, you can stay here, I promise to keep you safe. if you need anything tell Shawn, and he would get it for you. I have to get back to the office now because I need to do some paperwork" Michael said"Okay, I trust you, Michael. I will stay here and wait for you.

    Michael came to visit June the next day. Shawn had taken Layla to school because it felt like the best thing to do, if she had taken Layla to school, the reporters might have shown up and this environment was new to them so she couldn't ask Layla to go to her school by herself and so Shawn offered to take Layla to school since he said that was what Michael was paying him for. Moreover, June saw that Layla felt comfortable around Shawn even though they just met and that's why she didn't see a problem in letting Shawn take her. June let Michael into the house and he kissed her on the lips. "Baby" Michael said and June chuckled before they sat on the sofa. "I have missed you," June said and he nodded before he placed a kiss on her lips. "I have missed you too," Michael said and kissed her lips"So that's why you skipped work to be with me?" June asked "I would skip anything to be with you June. I worked overnight yesterday and I made sure to sign all the papers and that's why I'm her

    June gasped as she hung up on doctor Rachael. She dropped the phone on the table in a hurry and turned to Michael in panic. "I just got a call from doctor Rachael, I think they have news on my mother" She stammered and began to pace around the living room in fear."Hey...hey" Michael called out as he pulled her closer to his side so they were staring directly into each other's eyes. Her chest went up and down and her lips quivered, fear was evident in her eyes. "Calm down June," He said and she nodded"What's the news, what did they say about your mom?"Michael asked "I don't know Michael, I don't know what she is going to tell me but she asked me to come to the hospital now. I have to find out what happened" June said and he nodded"Look at me, look at me, your mum is fine and she is going to give you good news so just calm down. we will find out why she called you soon" Michael said."Okay" That was all June could say. After all, she didn't trust herself to say more because she mig

    Michael sat down in his office tapping the table with his hands for more than thirty minutes, he didn't know what he could do for June in that state that she was in. He didn't like how she was no longer her bubbly self but was in pain. If only he could help her mother but he couldn't. It was going to be futile, he had spoken to Doctor Rachael outside the room while June was inside with her mother to ask if there was anything they could do that her mother would not die but doctor Rachael made him know that there was nothing more that could be done. Her body would just keep rejecting the treatment and she wouldn't get better. Michael took June home a few minutes later before he finally came to the office. He didn't want to leave her all alone at home but he couldn't stay with her because his attention was needed at work, he had to finish the work on his desk today and also visit Frank at his company to go through some documents and apply his signature where it was needed. "Mr. Stahom

    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
