JUNEIt was amusing how society altered their judgments after the truth was disclosed, accompanied by the test I had with Henry, mind you. Kristen had to employ unconventional mediums to get the message across, generating an uproar in the netizens' world.It was a lively week, with us trying to escape the paparazzi who camped outside our building. Mark discovered an approach to help me out of the house. But it only took a day for those restless leeches to find out.Now, I'm locked inside the building with no means to leave if I treasure my life. It has been this way for close to two weeks. Kristen believes it won't be long until we lose the gimmick. But I doubt it's happening anytime soon.The way those gossip-hungry individuals besieged the neighbourhood made it more popular than it had ever been. It was as if we were hosting an event. Kristen has successfully gotten a fraction of his assets back. Most of those who withdrew their dividends when things were hot have been seeking to c
JUNEI played the record to Kristen, who handed it over to the police after listening to the threats. He tried to comfort me about it, but my thoughts kept on returning to the last words the caller uttered.My baby…Could it be that my premonition was correct? The one who is doing all this is the same?“We can't conclude anything without tangible evidence,” Mark stated as he sat next to me on the chair.Kristen left with the police officer and asked Mark to come over to keep me company. From my observation, the paparazzi outside have dwindled in number. Most of them have gotten bored of waiting outside to see me.It's absurd how they expected they could get any comment from me after dragging my name in the mud for something as frivolous as falling in love.“But it's too much of a coincidence, Mark. I feel like something bad is going to happen. And this time.....” I trailed off, shuddering a bit at the thoughts that went through my mind.“Nothing will happen.” He shifted closer to me an
KRISTEN"No, there won't be any need for that. I'm going to your place anyway."And just like that, Edith turned down my offer to drop her off, stating that she wanted to follow me home.Asking her what business she had at my place would have made me sound awkward, so I shrugged and slid behind the wheel, while she settled in the passenger.There wasn't anything of interest to talk about, so we dwelled in comfortable silence.The dinner with Henry had been postponed—because that was all we could do at that time when it seemed journalists and paparazzi were in charge of my entire property. If I had known it would turn out that way, I would have waited until the following day, after dinner with Henry, to post the news about me and June not having any blood relationship. Well, all we could was wait for a suitable time, and that time has been agreed on now that the media had found something else to busy themselves with."You are yet to see him, right?" Edith asked when we got close to th
KRISTEN"Are you still mad at me?""Leave me alone," she murmured. Her back was turned to me, the scent of her soap filling my nostrils and travelling into my head. "I need to sleep.""What can I do to appease you?" I grinned, stylishly scooting over to touch her."Go to Edith.""Will that appease you?" I teased."Kristen, are you serious right now?" she asked, feigned surprise creeping into her voice.I began to laugh. As much as she tried, she couldn't hold it. Seconds later, she started laughing too.I settled behind her like a wall, using her as my cute little spoon. Her body felt warm, more mature. She was growing, and not only mentally and emotionally. From what I could feel, her arse was getting more round and supple."I'm sorry okay? I never meant for you to see that. But I promise, it will be the last." I leaned down to kiss her exposed neck. "Kristen?""Hmm?" I murmured behind her ear. "What's wrong?""You are hard," she abruptly stated, completely off-topic, sending me int
JUNEIt has been a month since the first dinner with my father. That night was awkward. Had it not been for Favour, we would have sat there all night, gawking at each other. It wasn't until after I spoke with Henry that he voiced out how odd it was meeting Kristen. Not only was he my Guardian, but also my partner.But that was a month ago. After getting to know each other, they surprisingly became friends. Now, Favour spends most of her time with me.They were supposed to return to Oklahoma, but because of our contact, Henry asked for a transfer to Seattle. It was a hectic month for them, but things have quieted down.After my confrontation with Kristen, he hasn't brought Edith home. And she hasn't contacted me. Though she's still working in the company, Kristen promoted her. She's now a manager, while a recent employee replaced her as his secretary. All this he did was to placate me, knowing how much I loathed their intimacy.I can't let someone like her get close to my partner. As s
JUNE“June?” He sounded uncertain as he watched me.“Is this even a question, Kristen? Of course, I will marry you.” I drew my right hand out, and he slipped the ring on. It was as pretty as the first one he proposed with those nights ago, the only difference being the size. This one is smaller, but much more sophisticated.“Yes!” Favour squealed as Henry popped a bottle of champagne.“Thank you!” Kristen got up and hugged me, almost crushing my small frame with his large one. “You don't know how delighted I am about this, June. Thanks for always choosing me.” He placed both hands on the side of my face, and peered into my eyes, revealing so much with those green orbs of his.“Kiss, kiss! Kristen, kiss your fiancée. Come on, man!” Favour cheered. And like always, the others followed. But I didn't pay attention to them because my entire focus was on the man in front of me.He leaned down to kiss me, but I stopped him by placing my index on his lips.The chants ceased, and they all focu
KRISTENEvery day after the proposal was like a dream.I'd wake up with a feeling of ecstasy swarming every fibre of my being and an undeniable happiness that made me restless throughout the day. It was an acceptable kind of restlessness. One that made me itch to rush back home from work and cuddle with June. Just the thought of her made me eager, hard and fucking excited. For once in my life, I felt... complete. Henry and I were steadily warming to each other—Rephrase that: I was steadily embracing him and his love and acceptance of me and June.It felt like I was surrounded by immense love. Well, wasn't I?The issue of the settling scandal taught me a lot:One, you can only know your true friends and supporters when you have problems that need attention. Two, no matter the good you do, a little mistake could turn you into a monster before those who claim they love you. And lastly, loyalty should never be bought with kindness, it should grow naturally.Seeing June jovial and actual
JUNEFucking hell.How many times would I have to wake up with a pounding headache? Doesn't this get old? Like, I'm seriously tired of it and—My eyes snapped open when I recalled the incident of a few… whatever. I don't even know how long I have been out. Mark! Damn that guy. I opened my eyes and scanned around the place, knitting my eyebrows, puzzled when I saw where I was. I guessed I might either find myself at home or the hospital — like always — but I was dismayed to find myself in a vacant room. There was no furniture in sight aside from an armchair next to the door, and the only window in the room seemed farther than an ordinary window. The limited light coming from it was just sufficient to shed light on the apartment. Where the freaking hell am I?I tried to rise from the armchair I was sitting on, only to notice that they had shackled me to the said chair. What the hell??Did Mark tie me up here? Why? Is this a joke? Or a surprise? But that's not right. He drugged my
