2024-10-29 19:42:56"Hello, June Skylar" Michael called out to the stripper as she walked into the parking lot. He took a deep breath as he looked at the woman that had given herself a place in his mind without his consent.
The first thing he noticed was how bright her eyes were, her hair color had been a marvel to him since he first time he saw her but it looked surreal as he took a good look at her. Michael concluded in his head, June Skylar was an extremely beautiful woman.
After Anita had given him the name of the masked redhead stripper, he had emailed it to his assistant to run a background check on her and it didn't take 20 minutes for the results to come back in. Michael had discovered more than he had initially intended on.
June Skylar, 25 years old, first an oldest child of Mrs Glory Skylar a widowed mother of two. She had lost her dad in her early teens and her mum had been diagnosed with Cancer not long after. She had dropped out of college and started running over two jobs to be able to afford her mum's hospital bills and to take care of her 10 year old sister.
Michael couldn't pry his eyes off her as she crossed the lot to where he was leaning on the bonnet of his car. Michael felt the mask she usually wore wasn't just to hide her identity but to block out whatever she was going through. At 25, she had already gone through a lot and he felt compelled to do something to ease off the burden she was obviously carrying on those fragile shoulders.
"May I help you?" She asked with a huge frown on her face as she approached him. Michael had a hint on why she was looking at him with so much disdain but he wasn't one to jump to conclusions without making sure it was the right thing.
June's friend had said something about the manager not being a fan of tardiness, so Michael felt he must have scolded her or given her a punishment or something but he couldn't read her even though she wasn't with her mask.
"I've been looking for you, Amber" Michael answered, ignoring her question. He was going to get to that, but for now, he wanted to know why she had kept her identity hidden for so long but wasn't wearing her mask at the moment.
"You're the one that has been looking for me?" June asked with her frown deepening.
Michael decided to play it her way for awhile, "Yes, I have another offer for you, June Skylar" It seemed she had finally realized he wasn't calling her Amber anymore cause her expression changed almost immediately.
"How do you know my name?" She asked and Michael smiled slightly, is she just realizing I know her real name? She must have a thousand things going on in her head.
"Let's say I have my ways" Michael smiled at the stripper who had on the biggest frown he had ever seen. "But that isn't what you should concern yourself with, June. I have an offer for you" Michael repeated ignoring her expressions.
June smiled but Michael could tell her patience was wearing off, "I don't care about any offer you want to make, Mr Stahom. I am not interested" She said matter of factly.
"You don't seem sure and besides, you know my offers are quite fair" Michael argued but it seemed like the stripper wasn't going to bulge and that worried him. June Skylar was the first woman to ever refuse him and made him persuade her, he had sworn to not see a repetition of that day happen but their conversation was headed in that direction and it was annoying him slightly.
"I really don't care about your offers and their fairness right now, Sir. You just cost me my job and I am in a horrible mood right now" June stated with daggers flying from her eyes as she stared squarely at Michael.
Michael blinked rapidly, "You were fired?" He couldn't believe the manager had fired her because she didn't come to work. It was just for one day or was there something else attached to it?
"That shouldn't be your concern, the deed is done besides, I have other things to focus my attention on" June responded as she adjusted her bag on her shoulder. "If you'll excuse me" she said as she turned around heading for the opposite direction.
"Wait, you haven't even listened to what I have to say" Michael protested but she kept on walking away. He swallowed his pride and raced after her, "Listen to my offer" he heard her hand.
Taking the first move, Michael blurted out, "I know you need help with your mum and your little sister, don't try to deny it, I know everything about you, June Skylar. That's why I have an offer for you" She stopped walking and turned to him
"Okay" she said in resignation, "What's your offer, Mr Stahom" her frown was bolder this time, she wasn't enjoying the conversation at all.
"I want you to come work for me" Michael started and he could see her frown deepening again, "It's like the same offer from the previous night but this time around you'd decide on the amount you want. I can help you and all I ask is for you to agree to be my sex mate and most importantly, a substitute mother for my child" There wasn't anything to lose at this point. Michael waited patiently for her response but none was coming, she was just staring at him.
"Did you hear what I said, Miss Skylar? I want you to come work for me and you'd be the.." Her hand connected with his right cheek before he could finish his statement.
"What the hell do you take me for?!" June screamed at him and he was taken aback by her response along with the slap. "Just because i agreed to sleep with you cause I needed the money you tagged me a sex work and came to me with a freaking sex contract?!" She was already crying at this point as she removed his hand from her grip and turned to leave for the second and last time.

"I didn't say black coffee, Miss. I said I wanted a macchiato" June apologized for the third time that moment as she started making another cup of coffee for the man that was already losing his patience. "You should be more focused on your work, Miss" the man advised as he collected his now correct order and walked out of the Cafe. It wasn't even 9 yet but June had mixed up over four orders and she still couldn't get her brain to correspond with her mind. The encounter with the strange billionaire the previous night had left her with tears rolling down her cheeks as she hailed a taxi without looking back if he had followed her or not. She couldn't possibly believe he had approached her with a more insane offer than the first one. A lot had happened in two days and it was overwhelming for her but the list kept on going up and up. After falling into an exhausted sleep after crying for hours after she got back home from the club, June had woken up to her sister still in bed wi

The sound of Michael's voice wasn't something June could easily forget after hearing it many times. It irritated her to the bones and seeing him also irritated her, the man just had a way of making her blood boil and rise. She wasn't going to let him get in the way of what she planned to do that day so she decided to walk away and act like she just didn't hear him call for her. No matter what she was going to get her job back. "June" Michael called and walked towards her from the other end of the parking lot. June stopped in her tracks and then turned to face his annoyingly handsome face. "How may I help you, sir?" June's voice came out more irritated than she planned. She wasn't in the mood for any of his nonsense this night. His silence aggravated her"I would be on my way if you have nothing to say then," June said before walking away from him. Michael stopped her from going any further by holding her hand. She dragged her hand from him with a frown"Don't tell me you are going

The whole day how to meet up with Michael kept crossing June's mind. She wanted to speak with him but she didn't know how to get to him because she didn't collect his number and she didn't give him the chance to speak with her. Since she didn't succeed in getting her job back, he was the only solution to her problems now even though she hates to admit it. She took her last order "I will be going to the back for my lunch break, I will hand it over to you" June said and left the post for her friend. "Of course go ahead" She went into the kitchen before she rummaged through her bag searching for a chew gum while she stumbled across a business card with a number on it and without thinking twice because she couldn't afford to think.She called the number and waited for the person to pick up the phone. After the third ring, the person finally picked up "Hello" June dropped the phone on the ground in shock at the voice she just heard. It was the man she had slapped angrily few days ago,

June agreed to his deal and it was only because she had to save her mother. She would have never agreed to do something as crazy as what he offered if it wasn't for her mother. June made her way into the restaurant that she and Michael had agreed to meet the day before when she spoke to him on the phone. They agreed to meet at a certain time and she was already late but she couldn't help it since she had to take the bus to the restaurant. Throughout yesterday she had thought about it through and then she read the contract again trying to find anything that would show her why it was a bad idea but she couldn't find anything. The contract was all normal and she couldn't say he made a mistake. So she had come up with terms that she expected him to follow also. She would be his sex slave and she knew that it involved having sex till he was contented and doing things to please him. It was like being his harlot. She was going to accept his terms today when they signed the contract so sh

Now it was official, after last night's sex adventure she was officially Michael Stahom's sex slave and he could call her out for sex anytime and anywhere he wanted to. It was all part of the contract and she had signed it. They woke up in each other's arms and it felt so weird for June but now she wasn't scared about him seeing her face and neither did she run away. She lay down beside him till he woke up. They freshened up and ended up having sex inside the bathroom before they left the hotel after Michael paid for it. He offered to take her to the hospital to see her mother and also to sign the papers for the surgery so they could begin the second surgery on her mother. Things were moving so fast for June that she almost couldn't believe what was happening."This feels like a dream June," Her sister said as the doctors swarmed inside the room to take her mother out. "I know right, I wouldn't believe it if I was told that mum would get someone who would pay her bills," June said t

Michael got into the office and sat down on the armchair, his other hand held a cup of black coffee and he used his free hand to undo his tie before tossing it on the table. He took a sip of the coffee and let out a sigh, just then the door to his office opened revealing his secretary. Michael watched her every move as she strolled down to his desk with a phone in her hands. "Did you forget to knock because I didn't hear you knock?" Michael said in anger "I'm sorry sir, it won't happen again. I was trying to connect to your phone in the office but it wasn't going through for a reason so I had to come and see you by myself" She said "What is it, I don't have all day to listen to you," Michael said and he nodded before handing him the cell phone she was holding."Your father Mr. Stahom wants to speak with you urgently sir," She said and Michael groaned. What did the old man want now? Anytime he called it was always one trouble or the other. Michael checked the phone and saw that she

Benjamin punched Michael in the face and then Michael had thrown a punch back at his brother and then the two men began to fight. "Enough!! I would no longer be disrespected anymore by the two of you" "Benjamin! Michael!!" At the sound of his name, Michael let the collar of Benjamin's shirt go and then he spat blood out of his mouth. "This is why meeting with you guys is always a mistake. you always find a way to make me so uncomfortable and then it ends with you two fighting every time" James said before getting up from his chair. "I'm sorry father but I will take my leave now," James said and then gave the three of them a final look before leaving the room. Michael stared into Benjamin's face in anger at himself that he fell for his stupid act once again."I have a woman in mind who will become a suitable mother for Angel so pick up the next time I call you Michael," Mr. Stahom said and Michael nodded"That won't be necessary father because I already have someone who takes care o

June was a bit nervous about starting work officially at Nicholas's house that morning but still, she wouldn't let it show so she wouldn't mess up her work for the day. The routine was to get to Michael's house by dawn before daybreak to prepare breakfast for him and his daughter and then by night time when she is asleep, She could go back home. She made a quick stop at the hospital to check on her mother before she headed to Michael's house. The surgery was over days ago and it was a success because it increased her lifespan by some months. Anytime she saw her mother on the oxygen tube she couldn't help but be thankful for what Michael was doing for her. "I am going to start work at the new place today mom. I miss you so much so please get back on your feet as soon as possible. I ignore the fact that Layla cries herself to sleep every night and I'm trying to be strong for all of us but I still can't help but miss you sometimes." She said to her mum while sitting down.

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
