June was dropped off at JL Architectures headquarters. Lucy stood in front of the building with other employees who waited to welcome the CEO and boss they had expected for so long.

Lucy smiled as soon as she saw June highlight from the vehicle, "Quick! She's here! Greet her properly!"

June was stunned when a pop sound reached the air and diced sparkling papers rained upon her.

"Welcome back to JL, Miss!" They all chorused with stunning smiles that melted June's heart.

Standing between them were some employees she identified, Joel Patel and some other designers she hired during the start of the business. They were all so happy and showered her with flowers and gifts that brought tears to her eyes.

"Thank you so much," June said, moved by their bold display. "You are all so beautiful."

"You are welcome, ma'am!" Some said while others smiled warmly.

The entire office was decorated to suit the welcoming party atmosphere. The inscription, welcome back to your world, Miss Rivera, was

She had almost forgotten how cruel her husband could be with the presence of April who secretly warmed her bed since their arrival in North City. Andre returned in the early hours of the day, almost catching her in the act with her supposed cousin."Please! Please! Forgive me! I will never betray-""But you did," Andre said with an evil glint in his eyes. "And you know the rules." "Please! I can explain," The young man who had been beaten to a pulp tried to speak with his bloodied face.Andre chuckled, the sound was terrifying to the others who knew what followed.

    June sat in the waiting area of South City prison, waiting for Sharon's arrival. It's been two days since June met the president, and news of her recovery swept around town. Everyone discussed what her return to society meant for the international brand that JL has become. Looking from the outside, one would think that everything had fallen into place in her life but June was far from happy. It was her third day of seeking an audience with Sharon who refused to see her. Just when she was about to call it a day, the door opened and a beaten-down Sharon was escorted into the room by a police officer. June felt her breath hitch as she stared down at Sharon who looked pissed. "What do you want from me? My life is already ruined! Aren't you satisfied?" Sharon spoke with a raised voice and glowering eyes. The officer made to restrain her but June raised her hand. She could handle it. "Sharon...""Don't you dare...Don't mention my name. I don't want to have anything to do with you or yo

    "There you are!" Lucy said when she found June outside the party. "I've been searching for you all night. Are you alright?" She asked.June was sober with the papers in her hands, unable to believe it. Lucy stepped closer with a worried expression. "I just saw Liam leave. Did something happen?" She asked cautiously. June looked up and Lucy saw the tears in her eyes, causing her to be a lot more scared. "Talk to me, June. You're crying. What's wrong?"June handed over the papers to Lucy, who quickly went through the documents, her eyes bulged out of their sockets as she stared back at June. "Is...is this real?" Lucy stepped closer.

Having slept in from her busy night, she silenced the call and turned over, hoping to get some extra sleep before returning to Rafael's mansion. The phone started ringing again, disturbing not just her but Luis who turned in his sleep, disturbed by the noise. This time, June silenced the call, got up from bed, and headed out the balcony to answer the call. The phone stopped ringing before she could pick up and started ringing within a few seconds. It was Carson."You better have a good reason for calling me this early in the morning," June said once the call was connected, irritated from having her sleep disturbed. The line was flat. She could hear breathing but there was nothing. She removed the phone from her ears and checked if it was still active."Hello?" June said when she was certain the call was still connected. "Good morning, wifey." June stiffened upon hearing a gruff masculine

Everything felt surreal for the love birds who had been apart for so long. One day, the doctor came in with good news, stating that Rafael was ready to leave the hospital, and scheduling him on weekly appointments to monitor his progress. June could barely hide her happy tears. It felt like everything was falling right into place. Although Rafael's legs were not strong, they were on the right path and she believed that in due time, he would learn to use his legs again. "I want to be discharged today," Rafael told the doctor, interlacing his fingers with June who sat by his bed smiling happily. "I can't spend a day more in this hospital." June laughed at the desperation in Rafael's voice. It's been a few rough weeks since she moved into the hospital with Rafael constantly trying to make love to her. They h

    Liam returned to the Fernando estate and went to the dungeons where Lydia Cordel, the wife of the Late Andre Cordel was being held. "I was wondering when I'd finally see you," Lydia said as soon as she saw him at her gate. "I thought we were partners?""Do not forget your position, woman." Liam's voice was cold and aloof as he took on the aura of the cold mafia don he was. "Your life is a gift that could be taken at any time. You are advised to treasure it well." "If you wanted me dead I should be dead by now," Lydia said purposefully. "And I'm not dead.""Yet." Liam finished in a gritty tone. One of his men brought him a seat and he sat right in front of Lydia's cell, which was better than most since it had a bed and she received health care. "Tell me the truth and I might consider letting you keep your gift of life." He pulled off his black shades. "Did you or did you not kill your husband?""I did." She answered without skipping a beat. "And why would you do that?""Because he

    Lucy sat in the hotel room, dressed in her blue dress and texting Liam for an answer. When her phone finally rang and Liam displayed on the screen, she excused herself, and stepped out of the room. "I've been texting you for the past thirty minutes!" Lucy whisper-yelled as soon as the line connected. "What's going on? The mother's have been blowing my phone and I think June is already suspecting me.""You can leave the hotel. I arranged a car to take you both to the venue. It's a white limo." Liam said, expertly avoiding Lucy's question. "You still haven't told me what's going on! I deserve to-" Two beeps and the call disconnected. Liam hung up on her. Lucy gritted her teeth, trying to control her anger. She couldn't mess things up. Not today. She would handle him later. Summoning a smile, Lucy returned to the hotel room."We need to leave. Our ride is here." She said and June squinted, raising her head from the document she studied for the past several minutes.

The president is coming to visit the South City project site with some key investors.""The president has requested you to take them on a tour on site. We don't have much time." June got on her feet, gathering her phone and some other essentials, alongside the project blueprints. "How long do we have?" She asked. "Three hours." Lucy said, "According to the news, you are to get something with the investors before heading to the site.""The president has assigned our makeovers. We need to leave immediately." "Makeovers?" June asked with a frown. "Why would we need makeovers?""We don't have time. I'll explain on the way." Just like that Lucy dragged June out of the office for a makeover. They arrived at a hotel just close to the airport and while June tried to gather her thoughts, the hired team of pro

    June woke up to soft kisses from Rafael who lay beside her. She smiled in her sleep as she blinked awake."Rafe-" She swooned, palming his face with a Loving gaze. "Hey, Wifey." He mused, "Good morning."Rafael proceeded to lavish kisses on her face, going in for her lips but she tactically avoided him. "I need to brush my teeth!" She said when he continued trying to kiss her on the lips. "I don't care-" Rafael mused. "Now let me kiss you." He demanded softly and she shook her head. The next second, June slipped away from the bed, successfully evading his kisses and giggling when her husband wore a duped expression. "I promise you can kiss me for as long as you want," she said, "Right after I freshen up." June hopped into the shower after taking care of her business, and halfway through it, the door opened and Rafael joined her inside. "Rafe-" June's eyes widened when she saw him walk in naked with his hard member in full display. "I'm only trying to freshen up too," Rafael mu
