"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

    As soon as Layla left for school, June left the house for Michael's house. Angel was about to leave the house when June got to the house. "Good morning John" June greeted with a smile "Good morning June, I can't chat much with you today because I have somewhere to be and it's urgent," John said June nodded"It will just take a moment," She said before looking at Angel."Hi baby, good morning, how did you sleep last night?" June asked Angel "I slept well June, but when I woke up this morning, I couldn't find you. Where did you go?" Angel asked "I'm sorry baby, Layla and I had to leave because she has to be at school today and so I couldn't stay. Are you mad at me?" June asked and Angel nodded in refusal."No, Layla has school and I have school too, I will see you later today June," Angel said "Yes baby, have a nice day at school. You should go now since we don't want to keep john waiting" June told Angel"Okay June, bye" Angel yelled and June smiled at her. "Drive safe John," Jun

    "Angel come on downstairs so you can have cake" June yelled from the staircase to call Angel."I'm coming June" Angel yelled back and June smiled at herself and left the staircase for the kitchen. As she got in, the kitchen door opened "You must have run down the stairs in a hurry to have cake," June said with a smile thinking it was Angel but when she turned back to see Michael instead of Angel, the smile wiped from her face."Good morning Mr. Stahom" June greeted him with a bow and tried to leave the kitchen but Michael held her arm and pulled her back so they could stand facing each other."Do you need anything Mr. Stahom?" June asked with a polite smile. "June, listen to me" The moment Michael said this, June pulled her hand from his and folded it across her chest "I have things to do Mr. Stahom, if you need something let me know so I can do what you paid me to do because I wouldn't want to waste your time," June said "June would you calm down and listen to me?" He asked and s

    "As we speak Michael is thinking of ways to get rid of you. Soon the contract will be over and his fake love for you will go down in the thrash""I don't understand what you mean by that, Michael would never think of doing something like that to me," June said. She couldn't believe that, yes she might have signed a contract with Michael but that was before they started getting close to each other, that was before they fell in love. Michael would never hurt her this way and certainly not with James. "Well I understand that it must be hard for you to process this news but it's the truth and you have to accept it," James said"Michael would never hurt me, you are a liar. Michael loves me so don't you try to turn us against each other" June yelled at him and James laughed. "Love, you think Michael loves you, well he doesn't because he doesn't love anyone other than his daughter and his late wife. You must be delusional if you think he will marry you just because he lied about loving yo

    "June, at least tell me why you are acting this way, give me a reason, an excuse. tell me something because you have been ignoring me for the past week now" Michael said"I don't know what you are talking about Mr. Stahom, I have to get back to work, please step out of the way," She said but Michael stood still in front of the door, blocking every door for her to get out of the kitchen. "June, I'm sorry if this is about what I said that day at the house. I'm sorry, I was under so much pressure, I didn't mean anything I said to you and I'm sorry" He begged. June knew it wasn't just about what he said that day, it was also about what James said to her days ago. "You are sorry Michael, that's what you say every time shit happens, I know you are going through so many things but it's the same for me. I'm going through deadly things, my mum might die anytime soon, I have a younger sister to take care of, and I'm taking care of you and Angel. I'm under so much pressure too Michael but you

    "Are you going to tell Layla what happened with you at the hospital?" Luna asked June as they brought out the groceries and arranged them in the cabinet above them. "I don't think I have to tell her, she already knows that mum doesn't have much time left to live. I don't think I can handle telling her that mum just had four weeks to live" June said "It's not four weeks, it's one month" Luna corrected as she moved past June toward the fridge. "Whether it's a month or it's four weeks, it's pretty much the same. It doesn't change the fact that soon she would no longer be here" June said and Luna turned to look at her. "Would you at least act more mature? You aren't the only one who feels bad, we all feel bad. I know she is your mum and not mine but I care too and June I have to tell you, this shitty attitude of yours won't get you anywhere" Luna said and June sighed"I know...I know and I'm sorry. It's just that it's too much for me to handle" June said and Luna walked back to her.

    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

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
