Grayham’s POVI made my way outside the café and immediately covered my head with the hat attached to the hoodie I was putting on. It was a cold morning.The sun was barely up and people were still asleep. I walked past closed doors, threading on dirt and sand. I sighed and kept walking down the street despite the discomfort it brought to me.One of the reasons why I barely left Kaden house and went outside was because the area stank. I don’t think I’ll be out again. Perhaps it was time to get one of my smartphones from Miles. I might also set up a computer in the bedroom before I die of boredom.I had walked just a few meters away from the house when I spotted Cain’s mom, sitting in her verandah. She was on her rocking chair and was going back and forth.“Good morning.” I greeted her and continued walking away. She was facing her lawn. She didn’t respond. I turned and from a distance, I noticed the look on her face. It was blank.Maybe I should just mind my business but then, this

Miles POV“I’ll take my leave now,” I said and was about to take a step toward the door when Grayham’s grandpa called my attention.“Breakfast? You’re not having breakfast?”I was fully dressed. I declined by simply shaking my head. “No. I’m good.” I then stole a glance at my wristwatch. “I’m running late anyway. I’ll have Henry fix me something at work.”I wasn’t a fan of French toast and that was the main dish for breakfast that morning. Since Grayham leaves for work by 8 am, I felt I could use lateness as an excuse to skip the French toast.When I stepped out of the house, Sam was already waiting for me beside the Bentley. He had pulled it out of the parking lot and parked it next to the water fountain in front of the house.He walked up to me, took my briefcase, and went back to the car. I went after him.Today, I was dressed in one of Grayham’s sleek suits and polished shoes. I feel some sort of confidence after putting on the clothes or maybe, it’s just my excuse to get over the

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

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

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
