Layla stared at Drew who lay on the floor as they pulled her out of the car. "Let me go you" She yelled and the two men pulled her till they got to a moving van. They tried to load her into the van but she held into the handle and kept kicking and tossing. "Can't the two of you handle that little girl?" The man who was driving the van asked in a deep voice. They were three in total, the man driving the van and the two men holding her. Layla couldn't see their faces because they were putting on a mask. "Sorry boss but the girl is so energetic," They said"Then use the cloth on her, we can't miss this or you know what the boss will do," The man said "Yes, boss" The two men chorused. When Layla heard them say cloth, she knew it couldn't be something good, she had seen this type of scene in a movie where they drugged someone so they could kidnap the person. Layla couldn't let them use the cloth on her, whatever it had inside couldn't be good. She watched as one of the men reached for

"I haven't seen Michael at all since I went downstairs with Eden. Have you seen him?" June asked Michael's secretary when she got back to the office. "If you didn't see him then it means that he isn't in his office" She replied harshly and June frowned at her. "Look I'm not in the mood for whatever Scheme you have planned in mind today, do you know where Michael went to or not?" June asked and his secretary rolled her eyes at her."I don't like you" She finally confessed and June burst into laughter. She placed her fists on the table "I knew since the day we locked eyes that you didn't like me but honestly I don't care" June said and his secretary's eyes widened in shock as she stared at her in anger. "Do you know where Michael is or not, that's the question" June asked again the woman considered telling June that Michael had gone to the hospital to make her go crazy with fear but she had promised Michael that she wouldn't tell June, Michael had warned her not to and even threatene

Michael's phone began to ring again and they ignored the call thinking it was the head of the IRS department that might be calling. But June couldn't focus on any other thing the way the phone was ringing so she picked up the call for Michael. "Good afternoon, Mr. Stahom isn't in a position to receive a call now, you can leave me a message to give to him or call him again in the next one hour," June said politely "I'm sorry ma'am but it's important, can you tell him that the chief of police would like to speak to him, concerning the case with the attempted kidnap from yesterday?" The man said and as June heard him mention attempted kidnap, her heart began to race and immediately she understood that it had to do with Layla. "Hello, are you still there ma'am?" The man asked disturbing her thoughts and she remembered she was on a call before. "I will tell him, please hold on," June said and then she placed the call on hold before turning to Michael."Michael" June called and he looke

That evening, Michael watched as June baked a cake with her sister and Angel in the kitchen. "Stop standing there, at least make yourself useful even if you can't bake Michael," June said and he frowned. "I'm fine with just watching you bake for the kids from this place June so ignore me and keep doing what you are doing," Michael said "I'm done, I just have to put the slices in a plate for the kids and then I will be with you," June said and Michael nodded. When Angel saw that June had finished baking, Layla was washing the pans in the sink while June cut the cake into big slices, Angel rushed over to where her dad was standing and then beckoned for him to bend down."You want to tell daddy something?" Michael asked and she nodded. He bent down and then she grabbed his hair "Daddy, I just want to tell you that June is a great mummy to me" Angel whispered in his ear and Michael beamed with joy. He was overwhelmed with so many emotions at that moment and was glad that Angel thinks

Michael bent down, his lips against her cheek, brushing it lightly, and still, that light touch sent shivers through her nerves, shivers that made her whole body tremble. He brushed his mouth against the hollow of her temple and then his lips were on hers again. June stood on her toes and reached up as she pulled him down to her, He kissed her gently, carefully, but it wasn’t the gentleness she wanted, not now, not after all this time, and she knotted her fists in his shirt, pulling him harder against her body. He groaned softly, low in his throat, and then his arms circled her waist, gathering her against him, still kissing. His lips tasted like honey. They stopped to catch their breath.He smashed his lips on hers again. she tasted so sweet and he could smell her perfume from how close they were. Slowly, he lifted her from the ground and carried her to the counter so she would sit before he spread her legs open. "Wait in the kitchen?" she asked with her eyes open wide. "I don't
