Episode 22 June povI sat on the stone, shambled on hearing dad's voice. Was he eavesdropping or what? My eyes boomed, drilling in different directions till it hit on Thompson's. He stood up from where we were sitting and started walking up to him, dragging me along. What is he trying to do?!Ok, right now,am just so ashamed of myself. But,wait a minute,did.. did he actually know that Thompson had a thing for me? Geeze, I don't know how I feel right now,as I tried yanking off my hand off him but he held it soo tight." Good evening dad". He said bowing a little, creating that shock on my face as he spoke." Am so sorry for how I showed up to your house". I never knew Thompson was this humble!! I don't know how to analyze this, right now. This young man is showing me another face of life." I see the way you have been looking at my daughter ". Dad said with a mean and serious face." Dad am sorry,I never knew it was that obvious". His voice, comin
Episode 23 June POVHe cupped me into his arm gently, cradling me to his car." Thompson, get me down!! Dad will still see us please!!!"" He's gone. He's only coming out again to shut the door!!" He hoarsely said as he carefully opened the car door and laid me in. He walked to the other side of the car,hopped in and ignited the car,while the car drives itself. Hmm, I have heard if computerized car. I mean, Thai is my first time of seeing that .I looked at the man sitting beside me,the whole place filled with darkness,I felt like whole."

I mean, I wasn't." I said closing my face." Common,you don't need to lie". His eyes sparkling." Ok, Thompson,can you stop a d drive"." Am not driving. The car drives itself, remember?"I exhaled, relaxing backwards.
June's POVThe ringing of the alarm at 5:00 a.m. jerked me awake. I quickly sat up in bed as hot tears streamed down my cheeks. My head couldn't help but ache. I have to act quickly to save her life. In less than an hour, I was done with my preparations. I quickly grabbed my bag and application letter."Hi, Mum," I said, trying to sound strong for her. Looking at her brought back painful memories. I had to hide my pain so she would stay too long for me."Where are you going?" Mum asked, trying to wake up."Mum, I can't leave you like this. I have to go find a solution to your problem. I don't want you and Dad to die now. You're all I have," I said impatiently, standing and looking at my watch, eager to leave."Okay, fine. But can you at least tell me where the hell you're going?" she pushed further."You wouldn't want to know, Mum. Can we not talk about this?""Not until you tell me, June.""To one of the 'Duke's Empire Company'." I said bluntly, not wanting her to stop me."Mum, don
June's POV"I am the owner of the company." I heard a thick baritone voice echoing at my back, making me shiver and sending waves through me. I froze. I couldn't turn to see the person. I tried cleaning my tears when I heard the same voice again, this time his voice raising up a bit."What do you want?"Okay, I have to say something; otherwise, I would be roasted here. I gently turned to look at the person talking to me.Uh!! What!! Is that not Empire's son I see on our old rickety TV? All I can see is a heartbreaking dude standing with his hands dipped inside his pocket, looking so hot. Okay, June, you have to calm down. I said to myself."Uhmm, I...I... am looking for a job, sir." I said, taking a breath as I stood bowing down like a clown.Seeing no reply coming, I had to look up, perhaps he had gone. I had to raise my eyebrows. Jeez, his eyes pierced immediately into mine. I forced my eyes down, cringing at my clothes and biting my lips, because that was the only comfort I had now
Thompson's POV"Bunch of losers!!! I don't even know why I have to accept this visit in the first place!!!."I stood walking frustratingly in the office when a beep from the door dropped. I cared less about whoever was at the door, because that was the least of my problems."Sir, the board meeting has arrived," the secretary said."Where is the P.A.?" I asked impatiently, because I really needed to get out of here. I'm losing it."Am here, sir. We have to get going, otherwise, we are getting late.""How many hours are we going to stay in the meeting?" I asked no one in particular."Not up to an hour. It's just to seal up a deal with the electronic company," the P.A. replied."Oh, that's good, because I don't know what's wrong with me right now."I quickly picked up my phone and walked out of the office."Ah, the son is here. I never thought so," the manager of the electronic company said as he saw me enter the boardroom."I have not less than thirty minutes to spend here, Mr. Dave.
Episode 4: June's POV"Can you come to the office tomorrow?" His voice came out thick, and my mouth stiffened. My jaw dropped, and my eyes widened. No, it's not true! This must be a dream. "Are you there, June?" Shit!,Why did his voice get that tone when calling my name? "Yeah." I tried mumbling but remembered I had no money on me. How do I tell him I won't make it? I won't let him mock me the second time. I've heard enough of his insults. "See you tomorrow, then." "I'm sorry, sir. I won't make it." I blurted out, my face sprinkled with surprise. I couldn't believe I uttered that! The silent moment created anxiety in me. Oh, I wouldn't have said that. Okay, I have to end this call right now! "Bye, sir." "I called you, right?" His voice depicted authority. "Sorry, sir." "Why won't you come?" His thick voice bored into my ears. "I'm sorry, sir. I don't have transport fare." "I will send a driver to come pick you up." "But sir..." He cut the
Episode 5 June POV "What kept you waiting, June?" His voice questioned authoritatively, as he dashed out of the car, dripping in aura, with his hands dipped into his Italian wear pockets.Him?!! My hand tighten as I frozed to the spot. It only remain for me to pee in my pants!!" Good morning sir". The greeting rolled out of my mouth defectively.Not answering,he kept on looking at me, wishing the ground could open to swallow me. I didn't know why he was looking until I looked at myself.What?!! A night gown with no inner wears. Not even a bra!!!I turned very quickly, opened the door knob like one been chansed back into the house. I entered ,jammed the door and stood backing the door, trying so hard to calm myself." Miss June, we are waiting for you". I heard one of the men say." Hei, it's ok. Just go freshen up and go get ready. Don't stand them too long ". Mum said as she lies on the couch making me to run to her." Mum,...."" We will talk about that.
Episode 6 Thompson's POV"I'll go pick June up." I voiced out, surprising myself. "Good boy. Go get her son. Maybe, you'll be the one to wake her up from sleep." Her quiet utterance and piercing gaze kept me in deep thought.The tension grew stronger, and I quickly dashed out of the house. The ride to her house felt like an endless journey. It seemed as if it was not going to end any time soon.The more I tried to grasp what was wrong with me, the blurrier my vision became."Can you increase the acceleration of this car!!? I let out my frustration, hitting the car door."Sorry, boss."We arrived, and I relaxed in the car, surveying the environment. This looks like a slum. The crowding is unhealthy.""Go knock on the door. Tell whoever answers that I'm looking for June." One of my men nodded and approached the door.I could see him standing at the door. Who was that? He looks unkept. I tried looking further but he jammed the door after him.Minutes passed, and I wond

My head going crazy,my head breaking into shambles as the phone started beeping.I turned to where I kept it and there he was " He".My eyes widened in shock.

I came to see your face,but here we are you keep on hurting me!!.. you keep on tormenting me!!!"Was this what they call love? Was that why my head kept thinking of him?
