"I will wait for you to get back Michael, I promise," June said and she stood on her toes to peck his lips.

"Thanks, June, I will just see what's going on and settle it. I will be back before you know it" Michael said and June nodded her head. He quickly put on his clothes and left for the office while June finished her breakfast alone on the bed.

When Michael got to his office, his secretary was still in there making a phone call. Michael got into the room and dropped his bag on the chair.

His secretary saw that he was around and then she ended the call before she walked up to Michael slowly, her eyes not leaving the ground. "What was so hard that you couldn't attend to without bringing me to the office on a day that I shouldn't be in the office," Michael asked

"I'm sorry for this Mr. Stahom but some money got missing last night," She said and Michael stared at her in shock. She must be playing silly pranks on him

    "Oh brother, you are going to scare all your staff away with that attitude," Benjamin said as he and James got into the office. Michael watched as the both of them sat on the sofa in the office."If I don't get to the root of this tonight, tell your staff to pack up their things because you all are fired" Michael yelled at the head of the accounting department. "But sir, we don't know how the money got missing," He said and Michael frowned."It's your job to keep the money secured so there won't be a problem like this so I don't want to hear any more of this being a setup or a mistake. leave my office and relay the messages to your staff. If I don't get that money by the end of today you all are fired" Michael repeated and the man nodded and left the office. Michael turned from the door to his secretary and she faced the ground, too afraid to meet his eyes. "You aren't free yet, it's your job to make sure things go out and come into the company smoothly when I'm not around and you h

    June wiped off the dirt from the counter and then dumped the dirt into the trash can before she cleaned the sink and made sure everywhere was sparkling clean. The microwave sounded with a ding telling her that the food was ready. She quickly put on the oven gloves and then she brought the plate out of the microwave. The smell of freshly made lasagna filled her nostrils and she smiled to herself in contentment. She checked the time on the wall to see that it was almost 5 pm, which meant that Angel would be back from school anytime soon so she began to set the table for her. She had left Michael's house earlier after she had breakfast to take care of herself and her sister but she just couldn't stay away, her thoughts kept going to Angel and what she would have for lunch since her father wasn't home and that was why June came back to his house. "Mr. Stahom, I brought Angel from school" June heard John's voice as he got into the living room. "Daddy!!" Angel yelled and June chuckled as

    "Angel come on, eat your food. John is outside waiting for you already" June said and Angel giggled. "If I eat my food then I'm going to go to school and I won't find you here when I get back so I'm not going to eat anything and then I don't have to go to school. I will stay with you all day" Angel said"Angel eat your food this instant or no princess movies for two months" June threatened Angel with her hands on her waist. "Really June?" Angel's eyes widened in shock as she asked and June wanted to laugh so hard because of her but she wanted to show Angel how serious she was so she didn't. "The only way I won't take your collection sway is if you eat your food now and then go to school. But when you get back, I promise you that I will still be here and we can watch the movie together" June said and as the words were out of her mouth, Angel's lips curved up into a toothy grin."Aye, aye captain" She yelled and began to eat her food. June let out a sigh of relief and then she patted

    "I won't be home when you get back," June told Angel as she helped her to arrange her school uniform. "Why?" Angel asked with a frown. "I'm going to see my mum today so I can't be here when you get back but I will be here tomorrow to see you, Angel," June said"Okay June, I love you," She said and June dropped a kiss on her forehead before she helped her into the car. Angel waved at June as the car moved. John drove out of the compound into the road to Angel's school. With a smile on her face, June began to walk back into the house when she heard Michael's father speak. "Everything that has happened has happened all because you are not responsible enough Michael, you go to work by 8 am when a responsible CEO is meant to be at work by 6 am," His father said and June stopped in her tracks with her hands on the door handle. She heard Michael burst into laughter and she knew that he must be irritated by his father's behavior, the man irritated the hell out of her too. "You are funny f

    "One Mr. Jacob is here to see you Mr. Stahom," Michael's secretary said as she got into his office. "He is here? Let him come in, I have been waiting for him" Michael said as he looked up from his laptop. "Okay sir, I will bring him in this instant," She said and Michael nodded. His secretary left the office and Michael got up from his table before he sat down on the sofa waiting for her to bring Jacob in. "Good morning boss" The door opened and Jacob came inside the office. "You are here," Michael said with a grin and Jacob walked up to Michael, The two of them shook hands before he sat down on the sofa in front of him."I had to take the first flight back to the city just like you instructed. Shawn told me yesterday" He said and Michael nodded "You haven't called me for a job since... it's been two years" He said referring to when Ana died. Michael knew because that was the last time he called him for any job."Yes I know, things have been going so well until two days ago, a hu

    Michael rushed into his car with his secretary running behind him. "Mr. Stahom, should I go with you, I should drive," She said "It's fine, take care of the things with the security, I will attend to this" Michael said but she nodded in refusal."I'm your secretary Mr. Stahom and I say you are in no condition to drive. I will drive you to any place you want to go" She said and Michael sighed. "Step on the breaks," Michael said and tossed her the keys before he got out of the car. She got into the driver's seat while Michael moved to the backseat."Drive to the state hospital," Michael said with his eyes closed. "Yes sir," She said and began to drive. Michael blamed himself as he was in the car. If only he had tried his best to get through to her this afternoon when he tried to call her and she didn't pick up, he would have known that something horrible happened to her. This was all his fault, he had hired Shawn to protect her and yet he couldn't even make sure she was fine. Those

    Michael left the room quietly so he wouldn't wake June and Angel up since they were sleeping peacefully side by side. He locked the door after him and then went into the kitchen. He picked up his phone and then decided to call his secretary to see how the work at his office was doing."Hello sir," His secretary said as he picked up the call. Michael paced around the kitchen first. "How did the two-step verification go, you should be done with it by now," Michael said"Yes sir, The New security system had been set up and the other passwords have been changed into a stronger ones," She said and Michael sighed in relief. At least now the company would be safe from other dangers in the future. The only thing Michael still concerned himself with was the huge money that got missing. "How about Jacob, did he meet with the bank as I told him?" Michael asked "Yes sir, he left for the bank an hour ago," She said"Any word from him?" Michael asked "No sir, he would be back with the feedback

    "I have been dying to have this moment with you June," Michael said and June smiled at him. Shawn poured them a glass of wine before leaving the study. "If this is your perfect idea of a romantic date" June started as she looked around the room."If this is it, then what? You don't like it?" He asked and she rolled her eyes at him. "I don't like it, I love it. We are alone and I can watch over my sister here, you can do the same for Angel too" June said Michael chuckled."I know right, Angel has been asking to see Layla since a while back now, it's a wonderful time for them to see each other and a wonderful time for us to be together," Michael said and June giggled. "So did you successfully file a lawsuit against more than thirty reporters and five media houses?" June asked and Michael was shocked by her question."How the hell did you find out the accurate number?" Michael asked in surprise and June shrugged"I made Shawn tell me, you aren't mad are you?" June asked and he nodded

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.

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.

    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
