You know the truth

June and Liam were seated at the dining table, having dinner when June spoke up."Arnold deceived her," June said, pushing her food around the plate. Liam smirked. "And who are we talking about?""You know what I'm talking about." She deadpanned. "I don't believe it's fair for her sister to spend her life in prison for a crime she knows nothing about. I can't live with that.""And what am I supposed to do with that?"June cleared her throat. "I will be rounding up my project soon.""And?""I want to take her with me." Liam smiled at her words. "Was that a joke?"June pursed her lips. "You said I could get one wish." "Three." He corrected and June resisted the urge to roll her eyes."All the same. I want you to hand her over to me." June said."I'm afraid, that's not possible," Liam stated with a serious expression. "I'd think you were smarter than that.""Don't insult me." June dropped her fork. "I did my research.""Those are mere facts.""She spoke the truth.""I know people like

It's her, Isn't it?

The next day, June left North City in Liam's private jet. Lucy was informed about her return and excitedly waited for her at the airport. Sheila travelled with her, alongside some guards there to ensure she kept her end of the bargain. Although June trusted her, Liam wasn't convinced she wouldn't run away at the slightest discomfort. "Lady!" June heard the excited squeal from Lucy who attacked her with a hug. "Welcome back!" She looked her over. "I've missed you."June smiled. "It's been a while. How are you doing?" Lucy took her baggage. "This is Sheila." She introduced herself when Sheila stood still behind her. Lucy turned around, noticing Sheila's presence for the first time. "Hey!" She greeted excitedly and her brows narrowed. "Do I know you?" She asked Sheila who looked so familiar. June intervened in the situation. "How's your mother? I need to see her! I'm so hungry.""Forgive my manners! The car is out front. Let's go!"Lucy, June, and Sheila made their way out of the air

Leave me alone!

Evelyn retired to her room and June sought out Sheila who was seated in the living room. After the situation, June helped her mother retire and returned to the living room to meet Sheila. "I'm very sorry for everything." June apologised immediately. "I promise they are not usually like this. It's just-""I hurt them." Sheila finished for her. A wry smile appeared on her face. "You don't need to apologise, I had it all coming. I did all that knowing they would hurt someone. You don't need to spare my feelings." She wiped her eyes. "Not when I didn't spare the feelings of the many people I've hurt." June felt tongue-tied. "I do not judge you for your life choices, Sheila." She said after a while. "I do not support them, but I know you were pushed to a corner."Sheila shook her head. "You don't know that." She muttered. "My twin sister is in jail. I put her there. That was all my doing.""No. That was my sister's doing." June corrected. "April put her in prison knowing she was not the

Is she alive?

Clarence drove like a mad woman. Throughout her journey, she prayed that April hadn't done something stupid. She had a lot on her plate and with the court case against Rafael, she didn't need any mishaps. When she heard the smugness in April's voice, sleep was driven from her eyes. Clarence was deep in thought as she drove the streets of South City with her pregnancy in full view. Everything seemed perfect until she rammed into something. Shocked at the collision, she stepped on the pedal and the car came to a screeching halt. That was not all, with one look at the side mirror, she saw a bloodied version of a woman who lay on the floor, seeming lifeless. "No..no..no.." She muttered and switched gears. She couldn't handle it. She was close to winning against Rafael. She was close to sealing the deal and becoming his wife. She couldn't be charged for murder, she was pregnant and everything would go down the drain. Clarence only thought of the disaster it would bring to her life. No

Hidden in plain sight

June headed to the hospital with Lucy in search of Sheila. According to the nurses, she was undergoing surgery and couldn't be seen until further instruction. June felt a cold sweat run down her spine. It seemed like any time she was close to a breakthrough, something terrible happened. Not to mention that the supposed evidence she had to prove her sister's innocence and put April behind bars was still stored somewhere she didn't know. Everything was falling apart. Lucy and June spent the day in the hospital waiting for good news on the surgery. When the theatre doors opened, June leapt to her feet and attacked the doctors with questions. "How is she? Where is she? How did it go?" "Are you related to the patient?" The doctor asked and she nodded. "Please see me in my office." June followed him immediately with Lucy behind her. They sat in the office and she asked once again. "How is she? Please don't keep us in suspense,""The young lady was in bad condition." The doctor started.

She had an accident

"Who do we have here?" Rafael stepped into June's face, eyes searching. "I didn't think I'd see you so soon." June was in a poor mood. When she saw Rafael and the lawyer who submitted a petition for Clarence to be let go on bail, her anger shot up. "You did this?" The incredulousness in her tone could not be mistaken. Rafael held his tongue. "You want her to be set free after what she did? How cruel can you be?!" June took no prisoners as she washed him with her words. "Sheila is a human too! She is someone's loved one! Someone's child! How would you feel if someone you loved got into an accident and the culprit was set free?" Lucy held June's hand, hoping to calm her down but it didn't work. June stepped out of her reach and into Rafael's face. "I will not let this happen, Rafael. I suggest you sit this one out. It's not a good look at your already battered reputation." Rafael smirked. "Bold of you to speak about one's reputation." He said. "Clarence is pregnant." June felt lik

What do I have to do?

The young lady's facade broke at the mention of her sister's name. "What?" She tried to recover her facial expression. "Who are you talking about? I don't know what you are talking about."It was clear that she still tried to cover for her sister despite her situation. Sheila was wrong, the lady before her would do anything to protect her. She knew that bit from the little interaction she had with her. June drew closer and whispered. "I am here to help. Sheila told me everything and she wanted to set you free."Sharon had not heard from her sister in a long time and couldn't believe it. There was no way her twin sister was in contact with anyone from the Rivera family. They ruined their lives. "I don't know what you are talking about, Miss." She was steadfast in her words. The last thing she needed was to give away their plan to the enemy, or worse, get her sister into prison for her crimes. Sharon believed that Sheila would always have a better chance of getting out of prison wit

Leave and never come back

June worked with the detective overseeing April's case. They met at the house to discuss how to bring her sister to trial."Do you know of any secret fund or place she could be hiding?" The detective asked Evelyn who carefully answered after much thought. "April always had a mind of her own." She said, "No one could tell what ran through that mind or what assets she got while in power." "She kicked me to the curbs as soon as she became the CEO of Rivera and Lontoc companies. Prior to that, she only owned the properties assigned to her by me from the Rivera Shares."June shared a look with the detective. "If April is as smart as I imagined, she will have some secret stash and property somewhere," June explained. "Seeing she is on the run, it would be her first port of call."The detective agreed. "We will look into the properties acquired by her or the companies while she was CEO." He stood up, and June joined him on her feet. "I will reach out to you if we find anything more." June

Go! Go! Go!

June walked out of the salon with a confused look on her face. Unknown to her, she was being targeted by some gunmen who stood at a high range distance with their guns set and ready to fire. June cautiously headed to her car and got into the driving seat. She placed the bag in her camisole and started her journey.She made a U-turn, and in the next two seconds, sirens blared in the air. The sound of the sirens was so loud that she was forced to pull over. Suddenly, she felt her tyre deflate and before she could figure out the reason for the sudden flat tyre, a gunshot hit her window glass - Forcing it to explode into a million chards. June ducked as more shots fired in the air. The entire environment was noisy and people rushed into their homes, trying to take cover. June held on to the brown bag, refusing to let go no matter the cost. She felt a graze of pain in her head and her heartbeat increased to an all-time high. She remained in her car until the rain of bullets shattered

This is my promise

The next morning came and they all sat in a round table. June, Liam, Lucy and Mrs Evelyn. Everyone wore a sober expression as June spoke. "I need to know what's going on, Liam. What happened yesterday?""You need to be more careful. No more walking around carelessly, work from home if you must. My men will be around to guard the house until I sort out this mess." Liam fired off, and it only aggravated June's anger. "I didn't ask you to order me around." She gritted. "This is my home. You don't come in here and throw orders or get thrown out. Capiche?" Liam smirked, and Lucy swooned. June wore a blank look. "What the hell happened yesterday, Liam." June asked, "Who are those people? What do they want from me? Why did I get a bomb attached to my car?"Evelyn nearly had a heart attack. "B-Bomb?""Darn it," June swore under her breath. "Can you speak already?" Liam looked around the table with raised brows. As if to say - In front of them?"You better get talking mister," June answer
