Grayham’s POV

“What are you doing here?” My eyes burned with rage when I got closer to Miles.

He immediately turned around to face me. “Visiting my late parents for their memorial.” He casually responded.

In a flash, I dashed toward him in a fit of rage. I grabbed Miles by the collar. “Is this a joke to you?”

How dare he make fun of this day?

“You want to fight on a day like this?” He asked.

My heart softened and my grip on Miles immediately loosened. I retreated from him and turned around to face their tombs. Miles remained beside him.

“Your Grandfather gave a hint and I figured the rest myself.”

I said nothing. I was still staring, roving my eyes from one tomb to the other. Bitter memories began to flutter in my mind.

“What hint did my grandpa give you?”

Miles cleared his throat loudly. “It didn’t take me long to realize that your grandpa was in a bad mood this morning. I paid attention to his countenance at breakfast and before he left, he asked whether I’d go to the cemetery this

  • THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    BUILDING TRUST

    Mile’s POVI left my room and headed straight to the dining. The table was set but Grayham’s Grandpa was not at the table. I turned to the chef.“Have you informed my Grandpa that breakfast is set?”“Yes sir.” The chef replied with a nod. “He mentioned that he was tired so you should carry on without him.”It was another day to play the businessman. I was about to pull out a chair and sit when the phone in my breast pocket started vibrating. I pulled the phone out and sat.My eyebrows went up when I looked at the screen and realized that Grayham was the person calling me. I thought he was mad at me.I responded and immediately sat.“So you’re a firefighter now?” Grayham blew hot. “Or should I say a superhero?”I sighed.Looks like he had just heard about the fire incident at the office yesterday.“You want to be famous so badly right? Well, congratulations! Everyone is talking about your heroic deed on TV.” Grayham went on. I imagined the look on his face. He sounded pissed and I’m su

  • THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    WORLDS APART

    Mile’s POVI was carefully placed on a stretcher and then led out of the building alongside Wendy.The firefighters swung into action. The fire was extinguished before it could reach other rooms.When I was wheeled out, I inhaled the fresh air and immediately sat up. My lungs came back to life and my breathing was back to normal.Wendy had lost consciousness so she was wheeled into the ambulance and taken away.“Are you sure you’re okay?” One of the mobile-first aiders demanded after I turned down the offer of being taken to the hospital.“I’m good.” I maintained and stepped down from the stretcher.I looked up and saw smoke and white gas from the extinguisher rising from the top floor of the building. Henry stood beside me and a few moments later, the leader of the firefighter’s squad joined us.Meanwhile, all the employees made it out safely.“We were able to put the fire out. Thank goodness it didn’t escalate from the store room to other buildings.” The leader of the firefighters r

  • THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    A FIRE!

    Mile’s POVI watched Lily grab her bag and then she stepped out of the art theater fuming. I ran after her.“Wait, up”She stopped, took a deep breath, and then turned around to face me with her arms folded across her chest. “Now you’re stalking me?”I chuckled. “You seem to be enjoying the attention I’m giving you lately. Don’t you?”She rolled her eyes after a sigh.“I want us to talk.” I cleared my throat loudly.Lily palmed her forehead dramatically. “Oh, please Grayham. I’m not stupid. I’m very sure there’s a reason why you’re bothering me lately.”I wasn’t sure if I was crossing the line but I think everyone deserves a second chance, especially after the conversation I had with Graham’s Granpa. None of this was Lily’s fault. She didn’t wish to be birthed by a mistress. I’ve been thinking about her situation lately and I don’t mind helping them to patch things up since Grayham was too angry and arrogant to do it.I looked into Lily’s eyes and far from the hostile look she was fi

  • THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    CHASING CLUES

    Mile’s POVWhen I stepped out of Sabrina’s house, I marched straight to the spot where the car was parked. Nathan followed immediately. When I got into the car, I sat in the back seat, threw my hands around my head, and fixed my gaze on the open window.Nathan joined me in the back seat. “Where to?” The driver asked.“Just wait a second,” Nathan responded to him and turned to me. “I’m sorry we didn’t get much information.”I sighed and didn’t take my eyes off the window.When Sabrina spoke about the curse in its exact form, I thought the next thing she would talk about was the solution. I was hopeful and I thought she was going to recommend a portion to be consumed, some spell to cast, or certain people to visit so that I could be free from this body but all she did was leave me with some dumb riddle.‘Until both parties wholeheartedly accept their fate and stay in each other’s world, the curse can’t be broken.’What does that even mean for God’s sake?Am I supposed to accept this s

  • THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    SETTLING THE DISPUTE

    Grayham’s POVThe moment I got to the café, I saw Max rushing toward me.“Hey, there’s a small conflict brewing outside. You might want to check it out before it escalates.” Max reported and immediately turned around. He was waiting for me to follow him.I remained transfixed to my spot.What role will I be playing today? A tribal chief that resolves conflict?Gosh!It was barely 8 am and the last thing I wanted to do was get involved in the lives of everyone here.“Hurry up!” Max couldn’t wait any longer. He dashed out.I sighed and then felt a hand resting on my left shoulder. When I turned around, I saw Alex standing behind me.“Miles used to settle most of the disputes around here.”I jerked away and curled my lips in irritation. “I’m not Miles.”There was no point hiding it anymore since Alex was aware and lately, I noticed that he uses every small chance to tell me what Miles does and doesn’t. Had he ever stopped to ask me what I wanted and the pressure that comes with being som

  • THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    THE CURSE

    Mile’s POVSince Grayham is still mad at me, I didn’t think there was any reason to involve him in today’s quest. I called him so many times but he wouldn't respond.If he was waiting for an apology, then he won’t get any. 20 million dollars isn’t a lot of money judging by his net worth. It’s just like taking a drop out of an ocean and besides thousands will benefit from it so if you look at it, the people won’t have much but enough to compensate for their losses.I kind of feel good though.If he was sensitive and kind, he would be glad I made the move because right now, all news outlets and bloggers are talking about him. Henry also mentioned that certain investors want to partner with the company.Maybe I’m a good businessman after all.Right now, I was seated in the back seat of a cab and was headed towards Nathan’s residence. I’ve been communicating with him in the past few days and he asked me to pick him up in front of his house this morning. I decided to book a ride instead
