51 - Tell us Wifey

“Cara...Cara...” Rafael mumbled in his sleep, thrashing around the bed. June woke up to see him struggling and tried for some time to wake him up. “Rafael!” She shook him when he didn’t wake up, almost getting scared by his display. Rafael jolted from the bed, sweat dripping down his back and torso. The bed was soaked with the heat that emanated from him. His jaws flexed as he looked over at the time. It was just two am. “Are you okay? What is going on?” A worried look etched on June’s face. “Did you have a nightmare?” “Go to sleep.” Rafael stood up from the bed, put on his robe and made to leave. “Wait... where are you going?” The sound of the door closing was all she needed to know that he was gone. Rafael looked like he’d seen a ghost as he walked past his office and stopped in front of his room door. He couldn’t believe he’d forgotten. Without a word, Rafael opened the door to the place he only visited once a year. His room. The only day he allowed himself to feel and fal

52 - Great, it's showtime.

“You look so beautiful darling, the world will sing your name today,” Evelyn said to her daughter in the dressing room. April was dressed in a stunning wedding dress, makeup and hair done to perfection as they helped her to a stand where she looked at her reflection. “I can’t believe it’s finally come. Everything is working so perfectly.” She said with a smile, “I can’t wait for sister to show up and watch me get married to the man of her dreams.”At the mention of June, Evelyn’s face was marred with a frown. “I still don’t understand why you had to invite that wench. She is bad luck, I hope she doesn’t show up.” “Today is a happy occasion. I would not put it behind her to cause a ruckus and drag all the attention to herself!” April smiled, of course, she had thought things out carefully before taking the liberty to invite that wench to her wedding. In fact, she planned to end her life today. If everything went according to plan, then her life would be ruined. “Don’t worry mother

53 - I just did

The video cut off before they could find out what happened and June’s face appeared again. This time, it was a live feed. “Hello, Sister.” She said with a smile, “I hope you enjoyed my little gift.” “What is this? Are you trying to get back at me for having brother Ethan?” April spoke in hysterics. “I already apologized! He chose me! Why are you trying to ruin me?” “I am not trying to ruin you, my dear. I think you manage that properly on your own.” A small smirk. “I just need to know that nurse’s identity. I am sorry I had to take drastic measures, but I figured with such an important event being televised to all South City, you could help my vice president a bit in finding out who killed her father.” “Didn’t you say you would assist your former employee in any way you could at the burial? I think this the best way to frighten the culprit out of hiding, as this nurse is still unable to be found.” “And you use her wedding?!” Evelyn stepped into the conversation. “How wicked can y

54 - I didn't raise you to be a chicken. Be a man for once!

June, Lucy, Carson and Joel were seated in the office as they discussed their next step of action. “I don’t think it is enough. We need to close in on her, and put her behind bars! She should pay for her crimes.” Lucy lamented. Carson supported the notion, “I think we should press for charges. It cannot be a mere coincidence that the hospital footage of your father’s death was altered. We would never have made the connections if we had not involved the private investigator who dug out the real videos.” “Can’t we put that sister of yours behind bars with the evidence we have?” Joel Patel inquired. “Everything is aligned. The threats made, the sudden death on the day the threats were given. The gloating at the burial ceremony. Surely this should end that woman.” June remained silent as she thought on the topic. Last night, she had received a shocking revelation from the private investigator that she’d employed with Carson to look into her murder attempt. After meeting constant road

55 - I was hoping you'd say that

“Quick! Call nine one one! He needs to be rushed to the hospital!” Ethan cried, holding his father in place. April couldn’t pretend to care. Ethan’s father had shown how little he cared for her when she was declared Ethan’s prospective wife after June. Left to her, she hoped he died so she could finally be rid of him. “What are you waiting for, take the elder to the hospital!” April ordered when no one moved. They were all waiting for her orders. Soon enough, the ambulance came and Gary Lontoc was rushed to the hospital with a crying Olivia with him. The mood was sour and Ethan looked like his life had been snatched from him. “Put yourself together.” April snapped when they arrived at the company. “I don’t want my first meeting as CEO to be marred by your gloominess!” Ethan swallowed, trying to put up a smile that looked like a cringe. “And make sure that this news is contained. The only thing that needs to be on the news is my inauguration as the CEO and the merger. Do you unde

56 - Did you come here to threaten me?

April refused to say a word until her lawyer was available. Following her public arrest, viral wedding, and a new appointment as the CEO of Rivera Stores and LT Constructions, the scandal was a huge one that garnered a lot of attention. April was in her room when her mother came with the family lawyer. “You have ten minutes.” The police officer said before stepping out of the room. “What is going on? Why am I still here?” She asked her mother, barely managing to contain her anger. “We are working tirelessly to secure your bail. That wench June is responsible for this. She just wants you to suffer! I will make sure I deal with her.” Evelyn said to her daughter, battling her anger. “Your bail is in process. You will have to pay-”“I don’t care how much that needs to be paid!” April yelled at the lawyer. “Get me out of here and I will take care of things myself.” “Okay, Ma’am.” The lawyer stood up and left the room, deciding he would be more useful trying to secure his boss's rele

57 - Arrest him!

April was not granted bail. A fact that drove her nuts when the news was broken to her by her mother. “That husband of yours is on a warpath. He sent evidence of his father’s death and made it all seem like it was your work and the family was only a casualty.” April held her head in anger, her thoughts spiralling out of control. She needed to get out or everything she had worked for would come crashing down. She couldn’t lose. Not now, not ever. She had hoped things wouldn’t get to this point but there was nothing else she could do. She had to make a call and fast. April turned to her mother with desperation written on her face. “I need you to do something.”...On the other side of things, June got a front-row seat as the deaths of Lucy and Ethan’s father were roped on April’s neck. Making things even more complicated. Today was the first hearing of the case and if things went well, she hoped it would be the last. With double murder charges hanging in the balance and nothing t

58 - Take me to bed

June watched in shock as Ethan was taken out of the room with his mother hot on his trails and in tears. She couldn’t believe it. “We need to go,” Thomas said when she remained rooted to her seat. Lucy looked pale as she sat in the room while others made their way out of the place. “I don’t believe it.” She voiced June’s thoughts. “Ethan Lontoc? He...I don’t think he... He had no reason to... Why would he kill my father to frame his wife...how can-”“We will dissect this later.” June rose to her feet. “For now, we need to get out of here.”The trio soon made their way out of the court, everyone occupied with thoughts on the general situation. They got to the car park and met with April, her mother and the lawyer. April smiled as soon as she saw them. “Look who we have here, Mother.” She walked up to them. “How does it feel to be an epic failure?” June stepped forward, shielding Lucy. “For someone whose husband will spend the rest of his days locked in prison you sure look happy.”

59 - Don't say that!

Rafael woke with a light stomach ache. He turned his head and came face to face with a mop of black hair. His instinct moved him to touch it and June jolted awake. Hitting his nose in the process. “Ow!” He couldn’t help the sound that escaped his throat when her head crunched his nose. June was suddenly widely awake and remorseful when she saw blood dripping from his nose. “I am so sorry!” She stood up, looking around the room for some tissues. “Darn it!” She cussed when she couldn’t find anything in the drawers, “Give me a minute.”Rafael watched her with curiosity as she entered the bathroom and came out a minute later holding a box of tissues. She sat beside him, wiping his nose and burying the blood with tissues. Rafael watched her with fond looks, letting her do her thing. Soon enough, June disposed of the tissues and returned to the room. With one look around the place, June decided the room needed some deep cleaning. June began her job, picking up some discarded clothes f

60 - That wench wanted everything that belonged to her!

June and Rafael grew closer as time passed. So much so that he pushed for them to have a wedding as he was tired of being the closet husband. “You make me feel like there is another man out there.” Rafael joked as he kissed down her spine. “Why can’t we do the wedding? I want to publicly claim you as mine.” “I know, but JL is still in its early stages. I need to become a woman worthy of you before we go public. I don’t want people handing things over to me just to curry your favour.” “Why is that such a bad thing?” Rafael sounded like a child as he pouted. “I don’t mind being used if it means I get to have you anywhere and everywhere.” June chuckled and stepped away from him. “I have an important meeting with one of your shareholders today. Do me a favour and don’t interfere.” That caught Rafael’s attention. “Who is it?” “You don’t need to know. Unless I get the job of course. Wish me luck.” She got off the bed, standing with her hands on her waist. “You don’t need it.” Rafael
