"How does it taste?" Michael asked as he put the tray on the counter for Angel to taste. He blew out the cookie and gave it to her to taste."Daddy" Angel muttered as she stared at the cookie "I think I got it right this time, try it," He said and she closed her eyes and whispered words that he couldn't put his hands on to herself as if she said a silent prayer. She took a bite and spat it out immediately. "Daddy it's awful" She whined and ran to the sink before rinsing her mouth with water. Michael signed and picked up the half-eaten cookie and he took a bite from it, He spat it out and his features displayed a frown. This was the third time they were wasting ingredients to bake cookies, the first time the cookies didn't turn out well, the second time they ended up pouring the mixed flour on the floor and the third time, Michael couldn't even point out the taste the cookie had. It was just awful. "I don't know how to do this Angel, I give up," Michael said as he dropped the freshl

"Mum" June cried out as the door to the room opened, three nurses came rushing into the room as they helped her mum up from the floor and moved her back to the bed. Layla sat in a corner of the room crying her eyes out. She watched as the nurses gathered around her mum in fear and June saw her sister looking so scared, she knew that she had to be strong. She couldn't bear to be sad and in tears along with her sister, she had to be the strong one as the older one. "Can you please excuse us?" A man who came into the room with the nurses earlier asked June. "Who are you? will she be okay? where is doctor Rachael?" June asked the man so many questions."I'm doctor Ryan, I'm the doctor on duty and I will take care of your mother and examine her before I confirm the situation" He explained and June nodded as she sniffed."Okay, doctor Ryan. will my mother be okay? what happened to her? why did she collapse when she was just fine some seconds ago?" June asked and the man put his two hands

"I don't know why I feel like my brothers are behind this but I can't just jump to conclusions, first I have to make sure you and your sister are safe," Michael said and June nodded in agreement to what he said. She didn't even care about herself at this point but Layla because she couldn't bear what would happen if the reporters get her address and come to her house or worse what if they came to Layla's school to harass her? The feel of Michael's hand on her hand brought her back to reality as she stared at him. He gave her a reassuring smile and June couldn't help but smile back at him. "It's fine June, they won't go further than this, I will protect you and your sister's images with my life so you can calm down now," Michael said "I'm sorry, is it so obvious that I'm worried about it? I know that you won't let anything go wrong but Michael I'm not just scared for me or my sister, I'm scared for you too. I know that we are in a relationship but it's not an open one and only peopl

"I just told the principal that you are sick and so you won't be in school today," June told Layla as soon as she dropped the call with the principal at Layla's school. She had gone inside Layla's room to check on her earlier that morning when she found her still laying on the bed even though she was already late for school only to find out that Layla had menstrual cramps and couldn't get out of bed. "Thank you June" Layla whispered from the sofa. June joined her on the chair and carried the bowl of popcorn on her lap as they continued to watch the movie "Next time you should tell me when you get unbearable cramps instead of staying indoors crying" June warned and Layla nodded"You know how disgusting I find it disgusting those topics with you and mum," Layla said "Well I find it disgusting too but what can I do, it's normal and we can't keep it to ourselves," June said "Did you usually get bad cramps too during high school?" Layla asked June and the question caught her off guard

Michael came to visit June the next day. Shawn had taken Layla to school because it felt like the best thing to do, if she had taken Layla to school, the reporters might have shown up and this environment was new to them so she couldn't ask Layla to go to her school by herself and so Shawn offered to take Layla to school since he said that was what Michael was paying him for. Moreover, June saw that Layla felt comfortable around Shawn even though they just met and that's why she didn't see a problem in letting Shawn take her. June let Michael into the house and he kissed her on the lips. "Baby" Michael said and June chuckled before they sat on the sofa. "I have missed you," June said and he nodded before he placed a kiss on her lips. "I have missed you too," Michael said and kissed her lips"So that's why you skipped work to be with me?" June asked "I would skip anything to be with you June. I worked overnight yesterday and I made sure to sign all the papers and that's why I'm her
