31 - Auntie knows how to cook?

Things were coming along slowly with the JL Architectures launch.June and Lucy worked hand in hand as they slowly arranged the office while June sought out clients in need of her architectural skills, as well as properties she could develop and make into something profitable.A large chunk of the money she had received had gone down with making the office a homey place, and she didn’t for one moment regret making the place into what she envisioned.The only problem was the incessant lack of customers and clients. All efforts to secure paying customers in need of her services had proved futile, and she was on the verge of losing her mind.One of the days, after going through the series of rejections from prospective clients she pitched for, she was ready to call it a day and headed downstairs in search of Luis.Perhaps he could get her out of the mood she felt at the moment.Unfortunately, Luis was still busy with his classes, and the last thing she wanted was to be the reason he was

32 - Let the woman decide, man.

The weekend comes, and June is yet to receive the invite to the said party. It was one of the most anticipated engagements in the history of South City.A large number of important elites of the community had publicly declared their attendance at the event, congratulating the couple as soon as they received their invites.June decided to focus on her work and invest more in recruiting more members of the team ahead of the launch. Her goal was to have the first company project kick off before the official opening of JL Architectures, so she had a lot on her plate.That evening, June sat at her table in the room, typing away on her computer as she replied to some work emails from Lucy, who was doing the most in projecting the firm to prospective clients.These days, they had a trickle of prospective customers, which was a clear distance from the silence it used to be. However, they still had a long way to go.Three knocks came from the door and grabbed June’s attention from her work. Th

33 - Oh don't look too surprised

June noticed Lucy's unusual quietness as they approached the hotel where Ethan and April’s party would be held.“We will get down here, Thomas. You can park the car and come right in afterward,” she said to Thomas, who hummed in response, doing as he was told.Judging from the card she received, the party had started three hours ago, and they were extremely late. Good thing that she wasn’t aiming to make an impression. Seeing as she never thought she would be attending the party, she had come here with zero plans.This meant that other than the fact she was about to set eyes on the woman who ruined her life, she had no idea what to do or how to approach the matter. Thankfully, she had always known how to wing things.The duo soon got out of the car and trudged into the place, turning in their invites at the gate. The security was tight, as there were a lot of important people at the said event.“Name,” the security official asked, looking at June with curious eyes.Lucy was afraid, bu

34 - Who says I'm interested in this poor man?

Evelyn Rivera didn’t care. Instead, she lashed out at her daughter. “How dare you?” she fumed, stepping closer. “How dare you accuse me in this manner?”Her husband tried to hold her back. The last thing he wanted was for his wife to do something she would regret. It seemed like she was close to hitting their eldest daughter in public.“Accuse you?” June was perplexed.It seemed like her mother had bought into the business of acting.“Why would I accuse my mother?” She blinked. “Am I still permitted to call you that, seeing as you want me dead?”Evelyn stilled at her daughter’s words. She could feel the gazes of people on her, looking curiously and waiting for an answer. If she didn’t clear this up, there would be trouble.Immediately, she fell to the ground and forced tears out of her eyes. “How can you accuse me unjustly? Why would I want to kill my own child?”June wasn’t moved, but April came to the rescue, falling to the ground by her mother as she put up her best act yet.“Mothe

35 - I am not interested in women

June couldn’t help the irritation that stroked her heart at the tone of the woman in front of her. After the night she’d had, the last thing she needed was another woman trying to get on her nerves.“Who are you, and why are you here?!” the woman screeched when June didn’t spare her a word.“I should be asking you, seeing as you came to my home.”A scoff. “Your home? Where the hell is Rafael?!”“What are you doing here?” a cold voice said from behind June.Rafael and Luis had joined the party. June stepped away from the door, refusing to handle any unnecessary drama. The woman in front of her seemed to have no shortage of drama to unleash.“Rafe... Who is this woman, and why is she in your home this late at night?”June couldn’t help but notice the fondness in her tone as she spoke to her husband. What was their relationship?Rafael seemed to be running short of patience, and instead of answering, he moved to close the door, but the woman stuck a leg into his home.“Mother said I coul

36 - I am not my sister

The next morning, June took an early trip to the hospital to meet with Doctor Carson.If there was one thing that her last night’s rendezvous had done to her, it was awakening her insatiable thirst for vengeance on her family—especially April. She was going to make her pay for killing her and ruining her chances of having a baby.She would do it even if it was the last thing she did on earth.June arrived at the hospital with Thomas by her side. These days, he was like a shadow of her, towering over her and protecting her in the way he knew how.He barely spoke, but June knew he was efficient in his work, regardless of his absent social skills.“I want to see Doctor Carson,” June said to a nurse behind the city’s counter.The young lady, who looked like she wanted to be anywhere but there, shot her a bored look. “Do you have an appointment?”“I don’t. But if you can tell him that—”“Then you can return when you have one.” The woman cut her off in a flippant tone. “Anything else?”June

37 - Are you crazy?!

“That’s it! She can’t get married to you! Over my dead body!” Olivia rampaged into the Lontoc family home.Gary had summoned April and Ethan after Olivia returned with news of how she was walked out of the office by security at April’s words.“This wench will never be my daughter-in-law! Not while I am alive!”“Enough!” Gary Lontoc hit his walker on the floor with a frown on his face.“This wench—”“Sit down, Olivia!” Ethan’s father roared, barking into a fit of coughs afterward.April held a lasting bitch face as she watched their interaction, unbothered to a fault. When they all settled, Ethan’s father continued.“What exactly is going on in this family?” he said to his son. “What is this I am hearing?”“Father,” Ethan said with quivering lips. “It was all a misunderstanding. Mother came to the office, and things escalated. It won’t happen again.”“That does not answer my question, Ethan.” Gary took a seat on the chair, and his eyes focused on April, who was yet to say a word. “Why

38 - Get out and stay out

June was seated across from Carson in a restaurant.“I need everything you have on this case,” June said. “Every single footage from my stay at the hospital until the very moment I was out of there.”Carson shrugged. “So far, we don’t have the video from the day you were attacked, but I could arrange for a copy of your stay throughout the days you were unconscious.”“Thank you.” June wore a serious expression. “If my sister knew I was alive, she wouldn’t sit still. Judging from the shock on her face, it was clear she thought me dead, which begs the question—why?”“Why would my sister find it difficult to believe I survived, Doctor?” June’s tone was rhetorical. “Because she made sure I was dead. Or at least paid someone to finish the job.”“Which means in the time you were fighting for your life, she would have tried—” Carson’s eyes widened. “That is just wicked. I will definitely go through the videos and get them through to you when they are ready.”June nodded. “Thank you. I’d appre

39 - Do you want her to stay?

Marie stayed outside the house until Rafael returned. With all her things inside the house, including her phone, she had no other choice.All the while, she fussed and screamed at the top of her voice until she was sore. She then sat on the floor, brimming with anger. When she became Rafael’s wife, she would kick that little thing out and make him regret being mean to her!Watching him play with that maid while she stood outside in the cold made her feel a new wave of anger. No matter how much she ordered the slut to open the door, it fell on deaf ears.Meanwhile, June opened her room using the keys that were abandoned on the cushion following her baby’s little stunt. Luis could never do wrong in her eyes, and as she helped him put puzzle pieces together, her mind remained stuck on the video sent to her.She wanted to watch it in the comfort of her room, without any distractions and with a clear mind. That was the only way she could get the meat of the video and find things hidden in

40 - And if I refuse?

That night, June watched the clips sent to her by Carson. It was a struggle to keep herself from getting emotional as she watched Luis and Rafael stay by her side, watching her from the glass pane.Two men who knew almost nothing about her, and yet they took care of her so much that one would think she was a family member. She owed her life to them, that bit was certain.When she got to the footage from the day she first opened her eyes, she noticed something outside the ordinary. Compared to the other days, the nurse who came in on that day was different.How did she know? Because, unlike the other nurses, this one seemed hell-bent on avoiding the camera. It felt like the woman in question knew the position of every camera and purposefully walked in such a way that it would not get a clear and concise view of her face.June wondered if it was just her being paranoid and overthinking things, but these days, after everything that had happened to her, she reserved the right to suspect a
