"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.

She broke his heart and made him cry, and said mean words so why did she feel so broken by them? "Hey, are you okay?" June looked up to see Luna and Layla by the stairs"You were pretty loud so we heard it all, not like we were eavesdropping," Layla said and Luna covered her mouth. "It's fine I deserved it," June said and walked past them to her room, she slammed the door shut and sat on her bed. The Realization of what she did came crashing into her brain, she just left something that made her happy. She just left Michael alone and threw away the chance of ever seeing Angel again. "June, I'm coming in," Luna said and the door opened. June wiped her eyes and forced a smile and then Luna sat on the be

    June got into the hospital room. "If you need me I will be outside," The nurse said and she nodded before she walked slowly to her mum's bed. "I'm getting used to seeing you without the tubes" June managed to joke as she stared at her mum. "June, I thought I told you not to come again" Her mum whispered. "And you think I will listen, and you think that will stop me. It won't mum" June said and her mum frowned "I'm sorry, each time I see your face it makes me feel so sorry for you and your sister. I put you two through so much and in the end, I'm going to leave just like your father did" She said "It's not your fault, how many more times do I have to tell you that mistakes happen and this was just a mistake that just happened to you," June said "Saying it that way won't make me feel any less bad June because it's my fault and that's why I can't stop apologizing to you my daughter, for putting you through so much stress," Her mum said and June sniffed"I promised myself that I won

    "I told you I could pay for the moving truck, why did you have to pay from your wallet?" June asked Luna with a frown. "You can just pay for something else some other time why are you making this such a big deal?" Luna asked "I will take my leave now," The truck driver said and then leaves. "Okay let me at least pay you," June said and Luna rolled her eyes. "Why don't you use the money to treat us to dinner tonight instead, we are going to be eating out to celebrate your moving back home," Luna said and June was still frowning. "You guys can put the energy you are using to argue into taking the boxes back into the house" Layla screamed at them while carrying two boxes."I'm sorry, you are right," June said and Luna ran up to Layla "Let me help you with it, it must be so heavy" June laughed and Luna took the bags from Layla. "I will take this up first" Layla picked up the plate rack before running off into the house. "She is so energetic, I wonder where she gets the strength fr

    "I will see you on Monday then June," James said to June with a smile as he paid for their coffee. "Yes sir, Thank you so much Mr. Stahom, I promise to do a good job," June said with a head bow. James left the coffee shop after getting a call from his assistant. He would have loved to drop June off but he had all the time in the world to get close to her so he wouldn't rush.

"I have gotten the companies you asked me to research sir," He said and James smiled to himself"That's good then, tell the department to transfer money into all the company accounts," James asked "If I may ask, sir why are we doing this?" He asked"It's none of your business, do your job right or I will fire you Andrew" James raised his voice. "I'm sorry sir, I will transfer money into their accounts right away. If there is nothing else, I will hang up sir" He sa

That's why they were here, June stood up from the bed gently, because she didn't want to wake Layla up from her sleep. She entered the bathroom and saw new toothbrushes there, she thanked James in her mind and brushed her teeth before she freshened up. When she got out of the room, she decided to make James breakfast to thank him for what he did for them but when she finally found his kitchen, she met James there. "I didn't know you would be a man who cooks," June said and James turned to look at her with a smile. He removed the apron from his neck."Well I'm quite different from Michael, I used to pr

    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.

"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. "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
