Grayham’s POVTwo cars pulled up in front of the café. A Bentley and a Range Rover and guess what, both cars are mine.I clenched my jaw and watched two of my bodyguards in sleek suits step out of the Range Rover. Then, they rushed to the Bentley and opened the door to the back seat.Miles emerged from the Bentley in my customized Brioni suit.The anger inside me spread like a burning wildfire and I was already sweating profusely from the impact.Anger, jealousy, and Rage!I watched the live broadcast. All of us who were working at the café at that time saw it. Alex had a small old model television glued to the wall in the café so that was how we watched the news.Miles, fucking Miles donated twenty million dollars in the name of charity.My money!And now, he had the guts to drive down here in my cars, with my security team in the name of paying homage to the affected communities?Crappy insolence!He began taking steps towards us. There was a small crowd gathered in front of the caf
Mile’s POVWhen I entered the office and sat on Grayham’s comfy chair, an idea struck me like lightning. I immediately beamed and quickly placed a call to Henry via the telephone on the table.A few moments later, he came running through the door. I smiled and sat up with my hands positioned on the table.“You said something about getting the media team?” Henry asked, his tone was etched with confusion.I had told him to come to my office immediately. I had pointed out that I needed him to carry out a task with the media.“Yes. I’m talking about a press conference.” I replied and then raised a finger. “An emergency press conference in like an hour.” I glanced at my watch.Henry hummed. “Okay. I can arrange that. Do you have any media outlets in mind or you’d want us to stick to the ones we always host.”I stood up and immediately left the desk. “I’m not talking about the usual business conference so strike out any business channels.”Henry looked up.“I’d be needing reporters from mai
Grayham’s POVI looked at Alex in wonder, my jaw was almost dropping to the floor. He blinked and the look in his eyes proved that he was saying the truth.“My God!” I immediately turned away.I might have fooled the whole world but trying to fool a father who had been with his child all his life had proven to be an impossibility.I couldn’t help but wonder. Does my Granpa know that Miles wasn’t me or was Miles putting on such a good act that he couldn't detect?I have failed!I finally mustered the courage to turn to Alex and look him in the eyes. “For how long?” I asked him. “For how long have you known that I was another person in your son’s body?”He sighed. “For about a week now.” He replied. “You’ve been acting quite strange since you came out of that coma and I didn’t want to put unnecessary pressure on you because I felt the accident might have altered your routine so you needed time but when I started to pay more attention, I noticed that you were just…“Different!” I complet
Grayham’s POVGosh!The burning sensation I had experienced all over my body was back. My head was aching badly and I could barely keep my eyes open with the way my head was spinning in circles.My arm was wrapped around the man supporting me and we were heading back to the café. The rain had ceased. Liam who had stopped crying was now walking alongside the three of us.I fell from the tree and landed in a dirty puddle. I ended up twisting my left ankle and right now, I’m in so much pain. I could even pass out from the pain.The fever was still in my system and it appeared that the rain had intensified it. It shot up and now, I was back to square one, feeling like shit.One of the men was in front, leading us back home with his flashlight while the other was helping me to walk. Every step I took was painful and the man seemed to be in a hurry.We finally arrived at Kaden home and the first person I saw was Alex. He was standing by the door.“Give way!” He yelled when we approached the
Grayham’s POVI don’t know whether the band in my head had resumed their rehearsal or the bang was coming from the door because my head wanted to explode.“Open your eyes, son.” I heard Alex’s voice.For God’s sake, I’m sick. I barely slept the whole night after taking those drugs and now Alex is asking me to get up. Does he want me to work in my state? What happened to Mile’s loving father?“You need to wake up, son. The storm is pretty bad.”Storm?I opened my eyes and immediately jumped out of bed. I looked through the window and saw water flowing across the street. I glanced at the clock. It was 4 am.I turned to Alex. “What’s happening?”He put on his coat in a hurry. “There was a storm a couple of hours ago. A heavy rainfall followed and I think there’s a flood.” He rushed toward the staircase.A drop of water fell on my face and when I looked up, I caught the roof leaking.I rushed toward the window and saw a crowd from the street charging toward Kaden home with flashlights. So
Miles POVEven though I was seated in a cab and was heading to Kaden home, I didn’t stop calling Grayham yet he wasn’t responding.I knew he had asked me earlier to let him be when I called in the morning but the message from Nathan was a serious concern.Grayham claimed to be busy but I’ve worked in that café long enough to know that one can get some hours off to chit-chat or hang out.He was just avoiding me.I called him a dozen times when I left his company in the evening but he still wasn’t responding. I had no choice but to book a ride to the café that night.As the driver swerved toward the outskirts of the city, I began to ponder.What if Grayham was in some random club lavishing his money? He must have missed such a lifestyle.The last time we met, I handed over one of his credit cards to him because I felt he needed it to keep up and even though I warned him to keep it low, I’m sure that when it comes to rich people, they barely keep things low.I just hope he hasn’t done an
