Grayham’s POV

I can’t believe I ransacked the whole city looking for Miles only to find him under this old train bridge looking at the fucking sky.

Now how did I get there?

There was a time when the café was packed with so many people and I was stressed. Alex had walked past me after spotting how exhausted I was, and he had placed a hand on my left shoulder.

“You could use some time off under the old train bridge.” He had told me.

It didn’t even make sense to me until today when I was exploring the possible places Miles could have gone to.

“And yet I thought you were kidnapped or in trouble,” I said.

Miles stood up and started walking away. “I needed some time off.” He replied.

Crappy insolence!

I turned around and hurried after him. “Get back here. How dare you walk out on me?”

He stopped and then turned to face me. “And who the hell do you think you are?”

“Your fucking savior!” I fired back. “I gave you my money, my house, my business, and my resources. All you had to was listen

  • THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    THE CLUB KING

    Mile’s POVI wanted to fall asleep bad but more than anything, sleep evaded me so I sat up and stared at the emptiness in front of me.A peek at the wall clock showed it was past 10pm. I sighed and was about to head out for a stroll in the yard when the iPad pinged.It was a reminder, obviously not set by me because I started using the device days ago. I checked the phone and noticed that the message ‘Club Day’ was flashing on the screen.Grayham was a party freak. I knew it but I didn’t know he kept tabs on it.An idea struck me so I left the bed, went to the closet, and got dressed. I booked a ride because I wouldn’t want to stress Sam tonight.By the time I reached the mansion’s gate, a black corolla was already waiting for me so I got into the back seat and sat.“Take me to VISTAS!” I told the driver.He nodded and started the car while I eased comfortably on the chair.As much as I wanted to play Grayham so well, I also needed some time out.A night at the club won’t be a bad ide

  • THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    FAM

    Grayham’s POVI have a confession!I bought a smartphone.I know I’m supposed to ease into this life and maybe cope with Mile’s tiny cellphone but then, Alex is no longer here so there’s nobody to bake.For the past two days, I’ve been serving just coffee and drinks. The cookies I delivered to Cain’s mom were from the grocery store downtown. I just repackaged them and took out the labels.Customers had been asking for cookies and cupcakes and I’ve given them a thousand and one excuses. I’ve seen Alex mix dough and I kind of grab the baking process but I don’t think I have the balls to try it yet.So I reached a resolve and ended up in a gadget store with my credit card.Right now, there are no customers in the café, and any moment from now I’ll be flipping the closed sign but before then, I’m settling for some tutorial baking videos on YouTube.I did buy the phone for a good cause.Now, I’ll master the art of baking, try my hands on something tomorrow like red velvet and if the taste

  • THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    SKYLINE

    Grayham’s POVThe long-awaited board meeting took place today and since it’s past closing hours, Miles should be back home now or at least be on his way.Throughout the day, I barely worked with a clear mind. My mind kept drifting to the outcome of the meeting. Miles seemed like a timid guy and I wasn’t sure if he was able to exude the confidence I always brought to the room.Bloody board members!I know for a fact that they were nothing without me. People like Bryan just wanted the title and he thought getting into the heads of the others at such a critical time was going to give him the leverage.They better not mess with me because if they tried, I’d strip them of their status, their connections, and the authority my company brought to them.With nothing but their shares, they’ll struggle and without a brand that is going to hold them up, they’ll be going for destruction.And that’s why I don’t trust people. One mistake and they were willing to stab me in the back.I checked my cel

  • THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    BINGO!

    Mile’s POVBryan cleared his throat loudly. “Well, I do believe I speak on behalf of the entire board when I say the decisions you’ve been taking lately don’t sit well with us. You ditch business meetings. You make pronouncements without consoling the board and lately, our rivals think we’re running a charity organization. I’m starting to fear for our profits.”“Are you done?” I raised my eyebrow.Bryan turned to the room. He got satisfactory nods then he darted his gaze back to me. “I believe so.”“Fine.” I withdrew my hands from the table. “I’ll respond to your concerns one after the other. You said I ditched business meetings but permit me to let you know that there’s this thing called post-recovery trauma. It’s common with accident victims so even if people get back on their feet, they still grapple with trauma that needs time to be dealt with.” Then I moved my eyes around the room. “None of you will know of this I suppose. I mean your lives are hitch-free so what relevance is the

  • THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    BACK IN BUSINESS.

    Grayham’s POVI flipped the open sign for the first time in a week and then watched it with a sigh. I have officially opened the doors to the café since Alex’s passing.Even though Miles had informed me to start running the place before our trip to New York City, I didn’t open the place until today.I stood still and kept watching the door. Opening the place meant I was ready to take on without Alex. It also means I had agreed to carry on with his son’s life. Maybe until I find a solution because trust me, my eyes are still out there.I walked back to the counter and continued mopping the top. I couldn’t sleep last night. I don’t know whether it was because I watched a boy die but I tossed from the edge of the bed to the other and finally gave up around 4 am.So I decided to clean the whole place and I think I did a good job because the floors were sparkling, the coffee trays and mugs were well arranged and there was water boiling in the kitchen while the snacks were ready to be ser
