11 - Tomorrow it is!

“What do you mean she isn’t there? You were supposed to watch her!” Rafael barked into his phone, feeling a bout of headache hit him at the information passed to him.“I am sorry, sir! She outsmarted us and got away. We are scouring the area in search of her—”“You mean a young and hospitalized girl managed to outsmart two full-grown men?” he asked incredulously. “Don’t bother! Go to the head office and get compensation for your work so far! You are fired. Both of you!”Rafael dropped the call before they could say a word to him. He didn’t need to hear them yap about anything. Things had been hot in his home with his son’s refusal to eat or do anything since he denied him access to seeing June Rivera.The enigmatic woman had managed to occupy his mind and that of his son’s. When he received the files on June Rivera, one glance at them, and it was clear that she had led quite an interesting life.“What happened to Auntie?” The voice of his son made him turn around in mild surprise.“Wh

12 - I knew you could do it

Ethan and April were seated in his car, parked in front of the Lontoc home, as he tried to pacify her.“My father is throwing a fit. I just need you to stay in the penthouse for a bit while we sort things out.”April wasn’t having it. “You expect me to stay alone in the penthouse?” she fumed. “I think it’s best I get rid of this baby while it’s still at a tender age. If you are already ditching me so early in this pregnancy, then what’s to say that I won’t end up like my stupid sister?!”Ethan’s heart broke at her words. “Baby, please stop saying that. You know I love you. I can never do that to you. I just need you to exercise a bit of patience.”“Till when?! I have had enough of waiting for you, Ethan! Is it a crime for me to love you? Do you know the amount of hate and shame that I have faced because I chose to make you a father? When will you man up and take responsibility for me?”April’s voice broke as she cried, holding her stomach delicately. “I was willing to do anything to h

13 - Is there a problem?

June stepped out of the restaurant’s kitchen, balancing a tray of orders as she headed toward a table that held a group of men.“Here you go,” she said with a moderate smile, cheeks strained from the number of smiles she had to wear in order to appear friendly. “Please enjoy your meal.”She made to leave but was stopped by an older man’s hand placed on her wrist. “Don’t be so quick to leave, beautiful. Sit.”It wasn’t the first time such a thing was happening. Three days working here, and she somehow managed to meet one of these dirtbags every single day.The worst part of it was the fact she couldn’t do anything about it. They were all bloody rich, and the last thing she needed was to get fired from a job that both fed and housed her.“I apologize, sir, but I have to go,” she spoke with a strained smile, attempting to make her way out, but he held her tightly.“It wasn’t a request, girl.” He pulled her to his side, shamelessly staring at her form. “I want you for the night. How much

14 - Luis Jonathan Ambrose!

June was walking along the busy roads of South City, absolutely dejected and tired of life. She stood by the sidewalk, ready to cross, hail a cab, and return to her ex-husband’s home.There was no way she was going to continue living her life in such a manner, not when the cheating bastard owed her a lot of money. She needed to get on her feet, and with her inability to get another job, she could only rely on the money that she had worked for over the years without pay.Lost in thought, June stumbled into the road, forgetting the traffic lights as she walked into the street. The next moment, she heard horn blares and saw a black vehicle screech to a halt in front of her.Taken aback with shock, she felt her heart stop, and a migraine headache flogged her senses. Although she had not been hit, she fell to the ground and lost consciousness.A crowd had gathered at the near-accident, and just then, Rafael stepped out of his car with a swear on his lips. He rushed to the lady who was now

15 - Auntie! Open!

June felt her breath seize as the little one rushed towards her with a smile and hugged her leg tightly.“Auntie! I’m so sorry! I wanted to come see you, but my father stopped me! He locked me up and forbade me from seeing you!” Luis managed to say in one breath while the entire house watched with shocked expressions.Auntie? Who was this woman, and how did they relate?“My baby!” June soon recovered from her initial shock around him and reciprocated the hug, holding him tightly. “My sweet boy! I missed you so much! Have you been well?” she asked with a smile, gazing into his eyes.He shook his head, and her heart fell.“I’m hungry. Come eat with me,” he said in a childish tone, refusing to leave her side.June smiled, then looked around. Only then did she realize they were the center of attention. “What?” She didn’t know when the word fell from her lips.Rafael soon recovered from the drastic change in the little one’s actions, and a frown marred his face as he took in the damage cau

16 - Marry me

June remained frozen in her seat long after the story was aired and they moved on to other topics.She could feel Rafael’s gaze upon her, but she couldn’t bring herself to face him.“You are divorced,” he stated more than asked.“Thank you for your hospitality. I have to leave,” she said, getting up on her feet.She needed to get to the Lontoc household and find out what bullshit they were spewing, see if they could say it to her face.Rafael shook his head. “You are not to leave this house until you are well-rested.”“Well-rested?” June spoke in disbelief. “That cheating ex-husband of mine just slandered my name on national TV, and you expect me to rest? To act like he didn’t just destroy my image and flaunt his cheating partner to the world like some darned saint? I think not!”By now, she was on her feet, ready to leave when Rafael held her back.“So what if he is lying? What could you possibly do to show that you are innocent? As it is, you will only endanger yourself by going out

17 - Were you waiting for me?

“Marry you?” June repeated in an incredulous tone and picked up the documents.Rafael remained still, watching her go through the documents as her eyes widened with every page.The agreement was arranged like a business proposal. She was going to get married to him for a period of six months. She would get to be Luis’s nanny and live in their home with a generous pay of fifty million dollars.It all seemed too absurd and too fast.“What the hell?” She threw the document on the table. “What the hell is this?”“I know that you have been wronged by your ex-husband and betrayed by your family. You have nowhere to go, no money to your name, and are desperately in need of a job,” Rafael stated.“If you become my son’s nanny, you automatically have a job, which would also provide you with accommodation in my home. Killing two birds with one stone.”June looked at Rafael like he had grown a second head.“And the part about being my wife? It’s nothing serious. I just happen to need a wife to s

If Rafael was shocked, he didn’t show it.“May I ask why?” he said after some moments of silence.June cleared her throat, having expected this question.“I thought of the entire deal and figured if I was going to have a clear shot at clearing my name, I needed to become powerful. I need to become someone important enough that people care to hear my side of the story.”“And?”“I want to start a company of my own.” She bared it all, and that took him by surprise.“A company?” He relaxed on the chair. “What kind?”“That is for me to know.” She adjusted in her seat. “Finally, I want you to stay out of my business.”Rafael couldn’t help but feel attacked by the coldness in her tone.“We are about as close as the contract allows us, which means you are not to interfere in my matters or do anything that crosses the boundaries of our contractual relationship.”“Also, I will not be receiving any salary from you as Luis’s nanny.” An unconscious smile dropped by her lips. “I have no problems ke

19 - You are a genius

“We are going out,” Rafael said as soon as the contract was signed.June sported a confused look. “What? Where?”He gave a blank look. “You are my wife. The last thing I need is another woman dying on me because of my negligence. We are going to the hospital.”“Another woman?” she said, but he didn’t give her the time of day.“I reckon that you will need a lot more outfits in your closet, so we might as well tackle that in our outing today. Go get ready. We leave in five.”Rafael’s tone left no room for negotiations, but June wasn’t about to let him run her life.“I don’t need to visit the hospital, and I think I can handle my wardrobe well on my own,” she huffed. “When do I expect the down payment?” she asked without mincing words.“A card will be provided to you. But first, I need to ensure that you are in good health. You will be going for a body check-up. That is non-negotiable.“Afterward, your card will be handed over to you. The full money has been deposited, but you are only a

20 - Take me to Doctor Carson

June made her way around the doctor’s office with a formidable look on her face. Her mood was ruined by her run-in with her sister in the lobby.Thankfully, the tests didn’t take much time as she only needed to get some blood drawn and a few other things that were easily rectified.Ready to leave, June stepped out of the doctor’s office, a doctor she soon found to be the Ambrose Family 's personal doctor who had been briefed on exactly what he was to run on her.As though once wasn’t enough, April was seated right outside the door, waiting for her to come outside. Unable to stomach another outburst from her, June decided to make her way out of the place, only for her to be followed by April, who dragged her into a dark storage room by the hallway and shut the door.As soon as they were out of prying eyes, April’s countenance changed from the lovely younger sister act she had displayed in the lobby.“What did you come to do? To check if our claims were right? Are you looking for eviden
