“Are you so incompetent you decide to steal my design?” June said to April at the car park after their presentation. “I thought you were better than a common thief.”April held her head high, watching June with intent eyes. “What are you talking about? If you are insecure about your presentation, you should return to your benefactor. I know you slept your way into being considered for this deal.”She stepped in her face and whispered, “Between us girls, tell me, how did it feel to sleep with an old man for profits? We all know that’s the only way you could have gotten this far.” Although April wore a confident aura, she was broken inside. Everything had gone wrong with the world as she knew it and it was a matter of time before she drowned in the waves. “I don’t blame you.” June seethed. “For someone who had everything handed over to you, or stolen from someone, it’s hard to believe someone can build something meaningful from their sweat.”April was ticked. “Do not insult me, June.”

The next day, June felt better. Her mother visited the hospital with Luis and Lucy who felt terrible at the turn of events. She fell to the floor and apologised. “I am so sorry for what has happened, If I had been more prudent, this could have been averted,” Lucy said with a downcast look. “I’m so sorry.”June was quick to ease her worry. “How could you have known a reputable minister could be this terrible? I am just glad to be alive and unscathed. You shouldn’t take responsibility for others' wrongdoing.” Although Lucy understood her words, she couldn’t shake off the guilt that consumed her. With the newest scandal that rocked the media, young girls came up to share their morbid experiences with the predator who targeted women young enough to be his daughter and shut them up with money. It was a terrible day in the media sphere. The worst part was the bad press it gave to June and JL Architectures. Someone seemed to be pushing the narrative of June giving men sexual favours in ex

Clarence got to the club thirty minutes later. She was dressed in a short black corset dress that accentuated her curves and light make-up. She entered the club and headed straight for the VIP section. Right away, she spotted a man hunched over the bar and made her way towards him. As she got closer, she couldn’t help but admire Rafael’s good looks when he suddenly raised his head to drink some more. She walked up to him and sat beside him. “One glass of wine please.” She ordered and waited for him to recognise her but he didn’t. Rafael who was drunk and caught up with thoughts of June and his life moving forward could hardly care about his surroundings or the women that seemed to flock around him.He just wanted peace with his thoughts and it seemed everyone couldn’t understand. He took another big gulp from his cup and felt his guard go a couple notches down as he pondered if his security were around for the smallest seconds. Clarence watched Rafael mutter incoherent words as he

“Where did you go?” June asked when the silence became too much to bear. “I waited all night.”Rafael swallowed, unable to speak. “Did you sign the documents?” “Did you cheat on me?” She asked, cutting to the point. Rafael’s shocked eyes betrayed him. June felt a dagger stab into her heart and twist painfully. This man had done a number on her and here she was, hoping and waiting he would at least give an explanation. Something to justify what he had done or at least the thought process behind it. At this point, she just wanted something. She needed to know what went through his head. But he gave her nothing. No explanation. Just plain guilt written over his frosty face. When he gave her nothing, she pressed forward with a question. “Why?”Rafael stiffened, his hands shook as he took in the pure pain in her eyes. He had done the unthinkable. He had succeeded in doing the one thing he never wanted to do. He hurt her. He’s hurt her so badly and there was no excuse.“Where are the pa

It was time to announce the winner for South City’s Resort Project. June received her invitation to the event but didn’t feel like appearing in any public places. She was able to make do with her phone with the help of Lucy who handled work matters and only informed her when it was important. She was slowly adjusting to life without Rafael as her husband and although it hurt, she was learning to live through it. Today was her first public outing and she hoped she could pull it off. Lucy went above and beyond to prepare her glam team which handled her looks for the event and by the time they were done, everyone had nothing but praises to shower at her intense beauty. “Oh dear, I must have some good genes. You look so beautiful,” Evelyn playfully attributed herself as the source, bringing a smile to June’s face. “Anyone who doesn’t look at you must have a stiff neck!” Lucy joined with a smile. “You are the fairest of them all!” June smiled at the antics of the two most favourite h
