Mile’s POVI can’t believe Grayham thinks I took the consultation offer just because I wanted to sideline him. I thought he’d be impressed by the fact that the initiative was going to put his name on the international board as a philanthropist.As he vanished from my presence, I clenched my fists and hurried after him.“Get back here!”He fastened his steps and wouldn’t stop or respond to me. I hurried after him and caught up with him on the second floor.“What are you doing here?” He turned to me with his brows furrowing with rage.“This is my house. I can stay here for as long as I want.” I fired back with my nostrils puffing hot air.“You’re claiming ownership now?” He came forward with an intimidating gaze. “How does it feel to have someone take your place?”I unclenched my fists.“Well, you should have thought about that before you took the offer without consulting me.”“Look.” I heaved a sigh and tried to keep my breathing in check. “I’m sorry if I didn’t reach out to you as soo
Grayham’s POVI stretched my hand to the table and turned off the alarm then I wrapped the blanket around me and remained in bed. I was supposed to get up, head downstairs, and bake a few cookies but I don’t think that will happen.To be honest, I was exhausted.I’m tired of this life, tired of running the café, tired of the curse, and tired of everything that was happening. Before going to bed last night, I wrote a press statement to debunk the rumor that suggests Grayham Wilson was involved in a body swap situation but before sending it, I stopped to ponder.Maybe Miles was right. Sometimes, you just have to let the rumor die naturally. You don’t have to feed it and that’s why I ended up erasing the statement from my phone’s notepad.And speaking of the phone, I turned it off last night. I couldn’t stop going to Twitter to check the video and the comments circulating placed me on edge. Maybe it’s best if the phone stays off while I just lie in bed.I want to do nothing.I have no mo
Mile’s POVGrayham almost dropped his phone when he finished watching the video. I had to rush and stretched my hand to prevent the phone from reaching the floor. It landed in my hand.I had asked him to go online and check the video trending on X and that was when he saw it.Before showing up that night, I waited for the café to close then I called him and told him that I was on my way.Grayham ran his hands through his hair and began to pace back and forth inside the cafe. “This is a serious issue, Miles. We’re screwed.”I sighed and then dropped the phone on the table. “Based on my orders, your media team at the office has sent a statement out there claiming that the video was misconstrued. I mean it’s a good thing there was no audio.”He stopped in his tracks and looked at me. “Is that supposed to make me feel better? We both know that the shit is true.”“Well, they don’t have to know,” I replied.He groaned and wiped the sweat that had suddenly formed on his forehead. “Did you se
Mile’s POVAbout an hour later, the cab pulled up in front of the café.About a dozen people were gathered in front of the building. When we stepped out of the car, I noticed that the community members gathered were surrounding the construction materials that had just been delivered.There were bright smiles plastered across their faces. Their voices rose in celebration as Kaden home was about to get a new look. The kids had formed a small group at the corner and even though they were playing, I’m sure they had an idea of the transformation that was about to occur.It was a celebratory mood over here and the scene brought a smile to my face. If my father were here, he’d be proud. There was nothing he wanted more than community members coming together for the good of all.Kaden home was for the good of all and this change Grayham had proposed was going to benefit all.I turned to the side and realized that Grayham was no longer beside me. He was already ahead, rushing to mingle with th
Mile’s POVGrayham and I alighted from the car at the same time. I had asked him to pick me up at a certain junction this morning after he boarded a cab.I turned to him and watched him heave several deep sighs. It’s no news that we both always feel anxious anytime we’re visiting anyone with information about the curse whether it was a formal visit or not.Well, you can’t blame us. If you’ve lived in another person’s body for a day, then trust me you’ll know that it takes a hell of an effort to reach the 50th day without losing your mind.“Are you ready?” Grayham turned to me shortly after he finished his little breathing exercise.I nodded and together, we charged towards Sabrina’s house while the car was parked a few meters away from the house. We got the door and just when I was about to knock, the door opened and Sabrina stuck her head out.I sighed and lowered my hand. She was expecting us after all.“Good morning.” I cleared my throat loudly.Grayham, who was standing next to me
Grayham’s POVMiles couldn’t believe his ears after I just told him what happened that morning.“You mean they want to have the house in exchange for clearing our so-called evaded task?” He asked in disbelief.I nodded. “That’s it but trust me, they are frauds and they thought they were going to succeed with those tax papers and talks about the government getting you sued.”Miles sighed.I phoned him immediately after they left but he didn’t respond so he texted and said he was in a meeting Then I told me to meet up with me in our usual spot tonight.“You don’t have to worry about anything. I’ve got this.” I assured him.He nodded but I could see the disbelief etched on his face. “Are you sure you can handle it?”“As much as Kaden home is yours, I have legal documents for the place and one thing about me is that no one messes with my property,” I told Miles.Miles took his head into his hands. “I hope we don’t end up in another realm this time,”I smiled. “No tractors or bulldozers so
