SHAWN'S POVHe stood in the garage staring after her as the cat drove out of sight. That kid had better not bashed his car. A smile tugged at his lips as he remembered her childish display. No matter how matured she tried to act, she still had that childish aspect to her.Realizing he was running late, he got into his Rolls Royce and drove off. As he drove to work, he turned on the car's radio.“Last week Saturday, the 25th of August, one of Vancouver's youngest Billionaires and finest bachelor, Shawn Gold proposed to his highschool and model girlfriend, Tiffany Dion…” He quickly changed the channel. The press and not minding their business.As he got closer to work, he couldn't help but fret as he didn't know how to face his workers and most especially, Rachel.

“This is not your business, Timothy.” Mary retorted.“It is not yours, either. Now run along with your minions.” Timothy ordered.“Nice car, Tiffany. I bet Shawn got it for you, because your broke father can't afford a car like that right now.” With that, Mary sashayed away.“Thank you, Timo…” Tiffany made to say, but Timothy cut her short.“You have a lot to explain.”“Timothy, wait up.” She made to run after him as he walked away, but thought against it. Students were still watching and she was late for class, so she turned in the direction of her class instead.She got to class and sat down beside Freya. “Hey, Freya.” Freya glanced at her before returning to the book she was reading.“Look, I know you are angry at me but I can explain.” She tried to explain but a teacher entered the class.“We will continue this conversation later. Can I borrow your blue ball pen?” She asked, trying to make Freya talk to her.Freya brought out the pen from her backpack and gave it to her without u
SHAWN'S POV He just got out of the elevator with Rachel and was met with the sight of Tiffany flirting with his new intern. For a moment he stood glaring at them. How dare she flirt with an intern in his company? She was his fiance and wife–to–be, and that means she was not supposed to talk and pay attention to another man like she was doing. He didn't know what to make of the feeling that was tugging at his chest, but one thing was sure, he doesn't like seeing her that way with another man. He didn't realize he was transfixed to the spot until Rachel pulled at his arms. “Come on. Let's go.” She said, nudging him forward. As they got close to Jimin Park and Tiffany he gave them both a dirty look before facing forward. TIFFANY'S POV Good riddance to bad rubbish! Did he really think he was the only one who could flirt? He better have a rethink, because she could play the game too. “So, I was wondering if you are hungry?” She asked Jimin returning her gaze to him. Jimin, who

But no! The witch had to ruin everything.At that moment, she regretted telling Shawn about Tiffany and Jimin's presence in the .She should have kept her mouth shut and enjoyed her time with him.Frustrated and angry, she pressed the button beneath the table, and a waiter rushed to her.“How much is the bill?” He answered her and she paid, leaving him a tip.As she walked out of the , her hatred for Tiffany Dion tripled.TIFFANY'S POVShe rushed back to the company, got into the car and drove out of the company in a haste.Shawn Gold was nothing but a jerk, and she felt sorry for Jimin for stringing him into her problem.

SHAWN'S POVHe scrolled through his phone searching for restaurants in Vancouver that sell the best seafood. When he found one, he placed an order.After that, he went up to his library. He took out one of his fancy jotters and got a pen. He tore a page from the jotter and inscribed “This jerk is sorry. Xoxo, S.G”Then he went downstairs to wait for his order to arrive. A few minutes later it arrived, and he carefully inserted the note into the well packed paper bag that contained the food.After that, he called his logistics driver and gave it to him to deliver to Tiffany at school.He was new to all of this, and he hoped it would work.TIFFANY'S POVThey had just had their last lesson for the first half of the day, when a student came to call her.“A delivery man is asking to see you, Tiffany.” The student said to her, as she walked out of the class with Freya.“Me?

It was closing time and she headed for the parking lot with Freya and Timothy. They were cracking jokes and laughing at it. “Oh my God, who saw what Mrs Williamsburg wore to class today?” Freya asked.“I couldn't stop laughing. It was hilarious.” Tiffany replied.“What did she wear?” Timothy asked, his interest piqued.“She wore a loose fitting knee–length gown, rainbow colorhose, a weird muffler and shoes with their tips pointing to the sky. Her makeup looked like one meant for a Halloween party.” Freya described. They all burst into laughter as students turned to look at them.Just then, Mary pushed past them with her minions. “I never knew you were blind, bird brain.” Freya called after her.“Shut up, Fred!” Mary hauled back.“You know what? You are just a product of an unfinished copulation.” Freya yelled.Mary stopped in her tracks, turned and began walking back towards them.“What did you call me, you dimwit?” She said, poking Freya's chest with her fingers.“Exactly what you
SHAWN'S POVHe got home from playing poker and found out that Tiffany was not yet home. He got worried because it was past closing time for highschools. Was she mad at him and had gone home, despite his apology offering? A lot of thoughts ran through his mind.He was still in deep thought when his phone rang. Looking at the caller's ID and realizing it was Mr. Dion got his heart skipping a beat. She must have gone home, because how else does he explain Mr Dion's sudden call?He hesitated before picking the call, but after the first ring, he summoned courage and picked the call.“Good day Mr Dion.” He greeted, bracing himself for some scolding. But the reverse was the case when Mr Dion told Him about Tiffany's detention in school.Without a second thought he agreed to go pick her up. Because, why not? It would serve as the avenue he needed to gain her forgiveness. Show up in school as the Messiah and save her. After the call with Mr Dion ended, he didn't bother Changing out of his
Tiffany choked on the pizza in her mouth, and began to cough.“Here, have some water.” Shawn said, offering her a glass of water.“What did you just say?” She asked, after the coughing stopped.“My Dad called earlier today to inform me. And of course, your father is aware.” Shawn explained.“So, how do we prepare?”“Honestly, I am clueless about how these things work. I will call my friend later.”“Okay. But I think our fathers are rushing things.” Tiffany muttered.“I second that.” Shawn replied.“I have never seen your mum before.” Tiffany suddenly said, and Shawn looked up at her in surprise. “She is on a vacation in Tanzania.” He finally replied.“Tanzania? That's East Africa!” Tiffany exclaimed.“Yes. You must be smart to know that.”“Ofcourse, I am. I learned about it in Geography. Mount Kilimanjaro is actually situated there.”“I'm somewhat impressed,I must say.” Shawn said, giving her a mock applause.“You should be.” SHAWN'S POVHe was impressed by her display of knowledge.
TIFFANY'S POV"This student has shown exceptional character, leadership, and kindness throughout the year. And the prom queen of the year and overall best Student is...TIFFANY Dion! Congratulations Tiffany, you deserve this honor."She felt her heart skip a beat as she heard her name being called out as prom queen. She couldn't believe it. Shawn looked at her with pride and joy in his eyes as he applauded along with the rest of the students."Go on," he said, nudging her slightly. That was when she realized she was still seated.She stood up and walked up to the podium, her baby bump leading the way. Principal Campbell placed a crown on her head and handed her a bouquet of flowers. She graciously accepted them and waved the bouquet to the cheering crowd. She then took the microphone and looked at her classmates with a smile. "Thank you all so much. I am so honored and grateful to be chosen as Prom Queen and overall best Student. This has been an incredible night, and I couldn't have

TIFFANY'S POVShe woke up to the bright lights of the morning, seeping through little spaces in the window. She turned to her side, and Shawn was not there. Has he gone home? Then she turned to see the paper on the table. She abruptly picked it up and read its content."Rise and shine! I didn't want to wake you up from your beauty sleep, hence this note.

Xoxo, Shawn.❤️"She smiled, as she got off the bed and walked into the bathroom. He never ceased to show her how much he loved and cared for her. Both in words, and in actions.

TIFFANY'S POV"Oh, my darling," Shawn's mother exclaimed as she rushed to her side. "Are you okay, my darling?" She asked, cupping her face.She nodded, tears welling in her eyes. Oh how much she had missed their presence. Her father had tears of joy in his eyes as he walked to her and placed a kiss on her forehead.At that point, she couldn't hold back the tears. She let it all out. It was a miracle and a blessing at the Same time to be able to see the people that had always been there for her.Shawn walked up next to her, and to get surprise and that of others, judging from their gasps of surprise, he took her lips in his, in a long, soothing kiss. When he pulled away, she realized how much she had missed the one man who had shown her love that was tantamount to her father's."Thank you for fighting.

SHAWN'S POVThe cars sped off as they headed in the direction of the outskirts of town. The more miles they closed, the more anxious he became. He prayed fervently that his wife and baby were okay. The journey was taking long as he kept looking at his wrist watch anxiously."Take it easy, we will arrive there soon." Bryan said, placing his hand on his shoulder.He nodded and looked out the window. The journey ended up taking three hours and they finally arrived at a street. The cars stopped at a distance and they all alighted, as the armed policemen took the lead, their guns set.Shawn and Bryan followed closely behind. They got to a spacious mass of land with an uncompleted duplex building in it. The policemen filed in, and they got to the entrance of the building.Two men were standing at the entrance and they made to shoot at the policeman when they saw them, but the policemen were faster and in a few seconds the two men lay on the floor in their pool of blood.The gunshot must ha
SHELLEY'S POVShe took determined strides into the precinct. She walked to the reception and the first thing her eyes caught was the picture of the girl with "missing" written boldly on it. Attached to it was a prize for whoever had information about her whereabouts.She sighed heavily as she finally approached the policeman on the counter."Good evening, sir," she greeted politely."Good evening, Ma'am. How do I help you?""I'm here in regards to the missing girl," she pointed at Tiffany's picture on the wall. " I know where she is being held and who is behind it," she said in a rush, afraid she would change her mind."Really? C'mon, I will lead you to the detective in charge of the case," the policeman said in disbelief.She followed meekly, and soon they were in front of an office door. The policeman knocked on the door and a voice from the inside asked them to come in.The policeman led her inside. "This lady claims to have information about the whereabouts of Mrs Tiffany Dion," t
SHELLEY'S POVShe snapped her eyes open and was met by pairs of worried eyes looking down at her."Are you okay?" An elderly woman asked."I don't think I am," she replied as she attempted to stand up but felt her head splitting into two."Easy, take it easy," the woman said, helping her up."Where am I?" She asked, finally taking in her surroundings."You are in our house," the woman replied."I mean, what is this place called?""Vancouver, but you are in Squamish." The woman replied."Squamish?" She gasped. That was like the outskirt of town. What had Rachel done?"You were found in a sleeping bag, almost dead."Rachel, that bitch! She had stuffed her in a common sleeping bag. She had obviously thought she was dead."Did you find my phone?""No, we didn't. You shouldn't be bothering about a phone. You narrowly escaped death." An old man, presumably the woman's husband, admonished."That's right, my dear." The woman concurred.Just then, a young teenage girl walked into the room with
RACHEL'S POVAfter the call with Shelley ended, she could not help but wonder what was wrong with her. She sounded perturbed and had an edge of urgency to her tone. Curious to know what was going on, she had set a meeting and asked that she meet her at her place.A few minutes later, her phone buzzed and it was her gateman informing her of the presence of a lady who called herself Shelley. She asked that he let her in and she walked downstairs to the sitting room to meet her."Welcome to my humble abode. What do I offer you?" She asked, trying to okay the role of a perfect host."That won't be necessary. I'm not here for that," Shelley said in what could pass for a harsh tone and Rachel was taken aback."Okay. What is it then?"" I was at the location where the girl is being held…"Rachel immediately cut her short, "What business do you have there?" You have done your job and therefore I expect to stop going there," her eyes were blazing hot with anger now."That's not the point, Rach
SHELLEY'S POVShe packed the last of the food in the lunch bag and slung it on her shoulder as she walked out of her tiny kitchen that could barely contain two people at the same time.Rachel would kill her if she found out about what she was trying to do, but she couldn't help it. This was not who she was, but her desperation to get money had changed her, and it was definitely not for good.Sighing, she locked the entrance door to her tiny apartment as she stood, waiting for a cab to flag down. She sighed in impatience as she looked forward to a cab. After a few minutes of waiting, a cab arrived and she got in and told him her location.She was lost in thought as the cab drove to the bus stop where she would take another cab going in her direction. She felt guilty about the things she had done in the last few months and hoped the almighty forgave her. "We are here, ma," the cab driver said, bringing her out of her reverie."I'm sorry I got carried away," she apologized and fished ou
