Grayham’s POV

I 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.

  • THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    COMMUNITY

    Grayham’s POVI got out of the police van when it pulled up in front of the station. I stepped out and followed the police chief inside the building.At the counter post, I stopped and while the police chief sauntered down the hallway, another officer behind the counter spoke to me.“Sit over there,” he pointed at the bench that was a few meters away from the counter.I nodded, went there, and sat.A few moments later, the officer came to me with a pen and a long sheet. “We need to take your statement.”“Of course.” I took the paper from him and placed it on my lap. I noticed that he was towering above me so I lifted my head. Our eyes met and he quickly moved away.I sighed and began to write down everything I knew about the incident. I didn’t leave out any details. I began with how the dog pulled me out of bed after picking up the scent, how I got out, opened the zipper, found the body, and then called 911.About ten minutes later, I was done so I stood up, presented the report to th

  • THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    A CRIME SCENE

    Grayham’s POVI was awakened by a cold sensation on my hand. At first, I had no idea what it was until I felt a cold tongue licking my hand repeatedly.“Go away!” I shooed the dog without opening my eyes and just when I thought he was gone, the licking resumed moments later.“Leave me, alone, Curse!” I dragged my blanket and curled up but my moment of peace didn’t last a second.The dog pounced on me and began to pull my blanket with its mouth. I groaned in frustration and sprang up. Maybe I have to call Shirley and tell her to come and pick him up.Why did she leave him behind anyway when I said she could keep him?“What?” I turned to the dog who was looking at me with bold eyes.Then he began to bark.I sighed and got out of bed. “Fine. I get it. You’re hungry.”I was about to slip my feet into my shoes when Curse ran toward me and began to drag my trousers with his teeth.“What’s the matter with you?” I tried to shoo him by kicking but he held on.He then let go after a moment and

  • THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    ALTERCATION

    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

    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.
