41 - What do you want from me?

April received a distressing call from her intel at the hospital and placed a call to her mother, asking to meet.Evelyn was in the Rivera headquarters, seated in her office when April came to her. “What is it? Why do you look so distraught?”“It’s sister. She’s looking for clues. She wants to send me to prison. We need to do something.” The words spewed out of her mouth, her fear clear as day.“Calm down and speak so I understand!” Evelyn said, trying to calm her daughter, who was panicking.“June was at the hospital. She went to see the medical director of South City Hospital.” April paced around the room. “I don’t feel comfortable with having her go around. What if she is planning something? What if she has something on me?”“She can’t,” her mother said. “I made sure that—”“In the same way you made sure that she was killed, and here she is, back from the grave! Can’t you see the more we plan for her, the more she seems to escape death and return to haunt us?”“What do you want to

42- Apologise to my mother this instant!

Lucy returned to the hospital with a nylon bag filled with provisions and a sneer on her face. Her anger increased as she reflected on the little meeting with April. She needed to inform her lady of the recent developments, but first, she had to see her father. When Lucy stepped into the hallway that led to her father’s ward, she noticed a little crowd at his door. Her eyes narrowed as she hastened her steps, wondering about the situation. As she came closer, she noticed the looks on people’s faces when they saw her, some nurses going as far as to give her a hug. “What is going on? Where is my father?” she asked when she found her father’s bed empty. “Miss Garfield,” the attending doctor stated with a somber look on his face. “No! Where is my papa?! Where have you taken him?” “I’m sorry. Your father fell while trying to use the bathroom. We found his dead body,” the doctor informed her. “I am sorry for your loss.” Lucy felt her world end as the bags of provisions fell fro

43 - Welcome back son

“In just one day, two of my enemies would be in tears while I enjoy the fruits of my labour,” April said in a sing-song voice as Ethan drove into the LT Constructions facility.Ethan's jaw flexed in anger as he notified her of the job given to him. “Joel Patel has refused to sell his company to us. He refused every offer given to him.”A sharp turn. “Then offer him more. I need that company to be absorbed into my company. Do whatever it takes! Don’t tell me you have become incompetent,” she said in a flippant tone.“I don’t think there is any amount of money we offer him that he would take,” Ethan said solemnly. “Besides, why do you care so much about them? They are not worth your time.”“This is why you will never amount to anything.” Her words were a slap to his face. “Don’t you know the first rule to world domination? Remove every threat on the way.”“JP Constructions is hardly a threat. They are on the verge of bankruptcy,” Ethan said through gritted teeth.Although he knew that J

44 - He didn't look pleased to see her

The house watched in shock as Mrs. Beatrice led June to the couch, excitement written on her face.“Oh, darling, please sit. Tell me, how did it happen? Did he drag you to the altar? How could you even have a secret wedding without me?”June suddenly felt overwhelmed, but her mother-in-law was not stepping on the brakes anytime soon.“Who are your parents? Oh, they must think my son kidnapped their daughter. This won’t do! We have to redo the wedding. This time, we do it the right way!”“Mother...”“You don’t have to worry, I will handle everything, you just need to show up. Everything will be—”Rafael stepped in when he noticed June’s state. “Mother. Enough,” he said in a firm voice. “There will be no wedding.”Mrs. Beatrice turned to her son. “And why is that? You already got married, son. I just need to make it official.”“The papers are sufficient proof of marriage. We don’t need to have another wedding,” he said, forcing his mother to turn to June.“Do not let him bully you into

45 - Drug?

“What do you want?” Rafael hissed, staying put at the door.June bit her lip in anger at his tone. Just when she wanted to put the man firmly in his place, she remembered her mother-in-law, who was standing a few feet from her with an expectant look on her face.Instead, she pushed up the tray into his eyesight without speaking a word.Rafael’s eyes narrowed. “What is this?”“If you could step aside and let me drop it.” She gritted, sending him a mean look that had him stepping aside.“I have a lot to do, and I don’t remember asking for anything,” he deadpanned. “If that is all, then you can leave.”“Drink it.” June took a seat on the couch after dropping the tray. “I will be out of your hair and back in my bed once you finish.”“Did my mother put you up to this?”June rolled her eyes. “Takes a genius to figure that out. Now drink the darned tea so I can get out of your hair and get my beauty sleep.”“I already told you she cannot make you do anything you don’t want to,” Rafael reiter

46 - Pretty

June didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Of course, she looked like the culprit! Or in this case, the accomplice. At that moment, she regretted listening to his mother and not putting on something decent. Something that would have hidden the painful erection of her nipples and the burning desire that plagued her. Nevertheless, she was determined to pull through this phase. “I need water...” She muttered and stepped away from his infatuating hold. “Hot...so hot.” June was close to removing the flimsy gown that clung to her skin while Rafael watched her like a hawk, jaws flexing and straining in restraint. He was the epitome of self-control! “There is a bottle of water in the fridge.” He said after what felt like hours.June looked around in search of the fridge. She opened it and her shoulders sagged, there was no water in sight. In fact, the only thing was a bottle of red wine. She took out the bottle with a frown on her face, “There is no water.” Rafael walked towards her, t

Why are you walking like that?

Knock! Knock! June and Rafael lay fast asleep on the bed until the sound of someone banging on the door awakened them. June sat up with the speed of light, covering herself with the sheets when she found she was naked underneath. Rafael couldn’t be bothered to get up. He took on a lot of work the night before and he required some more sleep for him to function properly. “Auntie! Are you in there?!” The small voice of Luis was all it took to get June up and running. Rafael sat up and watched her with an amused look as she viewed her torn clothes with horror. “Don’t just sit there, I need something to wear!” She whisper-yelled with a wild look on her face. Rafael finally stepped out of the bed in his full glory. June caught sight of his morning wood and she averted her eyes in shyness. Her actions were comic to Rafael who picked up a robe and became decent. “Don’t act all shy on me now, it’s nothing you haven’t seen or felt before.” These things he said with eye contact on June

48 - The enemy of my enemy is my friend

The day grew and June stepped out of the house with Thomas. She had been briefed on a meeting by Lucy, who was hell-bent on working despite the loss of her father. It was a difficult pill to swallow and June was stuck between ordering her to take some time off or honouring her request to work so she could take her mind off things. Nevertheless, they were meeting an important guest today and Lucy refused to disclose the identity until they got on site. As they breezed through the city, June read the news of the fall of Joel Patel Constructions. ‘One of the trending news in the building sector/industry.

Who says that's the only thing we could do?

With Joel Patel on the crew, things proceeded with JL Company, which brought a new phase of the business. June is busier as she takes on individual and corporate projects while Lucy is made vice president for the firm. Things are also chaotic at home, following Luis' drastic change of character. Ever since she was revealed as Rafael’s wife, Luis had yet to have a conversation with her. June decided to speak with her little prince in the room, hoping they could find a bridge and settle their differences. Although Luis was glad to see his auntie peek into his room, he remained seated and adamant as he watched some documentary that played on the TV.“Baby..” June entered the room and sat beside him, “I miss you.” Luis huffed, still upset. “I am not your husband.” June hid the smile that threatened to break out her lips. “But you are my baby, my favourite. Auntie’s heart is broken.” Luis spared her a glance but kept his mouth in a pout. “I was supposed to marry you. Not my father! He
