2021-06-19 17:59:59" Just where are you going?" I asked confused.
" You wanted to know more about me so I will realize that wish for you." He replied while speeding up with the car.
We reached our destination, it was a vast forest and we kept walking in it until we found a big rock that overlooks a beautiful lake. The scenery was gorgeous that I forgot all about going back to the mansion and how it's dangerous to remain alone with someone like Shawn.
" How do you like it?" he asked fixing his position on that rock.
" It is fabulous."
" Glad you like it."
I turned my head directing my gaze at him in surprise.
" How could you be so mean at college but turn this kind now?" I wondered.
"I can't treat you freely as I wish at college to not raise suspicions so I just tease you."
" Whoa, didn't expect such a reason."
" Why did you take me here?" I added.
" Since it is my birthday, I wanted to spend it outside

We skipped dinner that day and we came back together which sounded suspicious, to be honest. As I was resting in my room, I got a phone call from Tony.-" Hey, did you reach something?" I asked.-" It was calculated, the man approached him first according to my friend who works there, everyone noticed something was weird, you don't get to see a beggar like your father coming in and out of a high-class club that easily, he was obviously invited in by someone." Tony explained.-" I understand, I will give you 100 bucks instead of 80 so do me another favor."-" Hit me with the request then."-" Can you tell me what is Jack up to these days." I requested.-" Does that douchebag still stalks you?"-" I have a hunch that I wish to not be true; he is so quiet, unlike his natural self. Thanks in advance, Tony. I will wire you the money now." I stated before hanging up.I looked at my bank account that had only 100 bucks lef

" Care to explain," Shawn said as he walked up to me causing Jack to crawl behind me." Just give me a minute, okay." I requested waiting for him to back away but he didn't." Tell him whatever you want, I will keep standing here." he clarified in a dark tone that lacked patience.I sighed as I looked at Jack and whispered in his ear." If you mess with them, I won't be able to guarantee that would keep your life. I know you want me to listen to you, I will if you chose to keep silent about this. I will contact you after you get out of the hospital so don't say anything until then." I instructed lowering my voice as much as I can." You promised me, Lily." he barely stuttered." Yes, and you know that I keep my words. Don't forget to tell them that you fell from the motorcycle while riding in the forest by some branch or something, You asked me to bring the motorcycle to a repair shop." I continued." Okay, I will. Don't hang up with

Shawn was holding me, I tried to fix my position but he was not helpful. He kept staring into my eyes before he viciously attacked my mouth searching for a way in. I gave him permission, as I was feeling emotional at that time; he kept trailing his tongue throughout my mouth exploring every corner.His breath had a sweet taste of chocolate and his hands slid to my butt, he groped my butt pulling me closer to his chest. I felt my insides melting from his touch; his hands were roaming all over my body finding their way to my abdomen, thighs, back, and my nape. His thing was rubbing against my waist as he was holding me even stronger.I flinched when he suddenly fondled my breast, heading to my neckline placing kisses all over my upper body; he sat on his knees licking my abdomen in a very sexy way that dragged me insane. He pulled my thigh in a motion that caused me to fall on his lap, he placed his hand on my nape forcing his way into my mouth as he bit my lips li

I headed to Gerald's office as always, that man is an alcoholic. I bet that is a life that Shawn definitely does not want to have. His life was very boring for someone that can literally buy anything he wants or go everywhere he wishes. It made me realize that rich people's lives are not always that amusing." I heard that Shawn broke up with his girlfriend. You did a great job." he started while he got up from his desk chair to sit on the couch motioning for me to join him." I only did what I had to do, I want to speak with you regarding Shawn as well. Allow me to speak honestly, sir."" I am all ears, go ahead," he responded." Shawn had made it clear to me the other day that he holds you responsible for his mother's death, I know I am bringing up a sensitive topic here but it's all for a greater purpose. He also did not appreciate how he spent his life growing up and even though he does not find himself at college with younger students. He still

I reached the university, Penny met me at the college's entrance." Why do I keep seeing you without Alicia these days?" I asked." It is not like we are a couple or anything, but... we... can be if you want," he said pointing at both of us." Flirtatious men should all get buried somewhere far away from innocent girls such as me." I sighed." You know that Molly has been staring daggers at you, it has been a while now. Rumors have circulated the whole college stating that Shawn asked to break up with her but she is still not over him yet."" Why do people like to gossip?"" Because it is fun." Penny retorted shrugging his shoulders.I suddenly recalled what happened yesterday and the fact that I wanted to speak with Alicia about the reason why she was wearing sunglasses. Before I entered the class, I quickly turned around rushing to look for her all around the college.I brushed Shawn's shoulder while running in th

I walked steadily towards him as I grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back forcing him to kneel forwards as I hit him on the nape with the other free one. I did not only want to beat him to a pulp, I wanted to humiliate him just as he did to the poor Alicia.He forcefully slipped away from my grip pushing me away with his back. He was so angry; it felt as if he was keen to hurt me as much as I wanted to hurt him. He threw a punch that I dodged and counterattacked with an elbow to his jawline. My move was vicious and deadly, he had no choice but to cover his face backing away.I caused him to trip and kept stomping on his body repeatedly, he was cowering in pain and the madness inside me did not subside. I did not notice that the window behind me was broken as Shawn stepped in and pulled me away from the damaged boy. I tried to push him away but he forced me into a hug.After a few seconds, I gave in and inhaled his scent soothing my angry self. The

The next day soon arose; Shawn insisted that he rides with me so that we would reach college together." I do not understand why did you lie to Alicia regarding our relationship?" I asked as I fixed my position inside the car." The news would have spread sooner or later, we were seen together yesterday. Also, everyone would be wondering about how we were connected. I had to give them an explanation...,” he explained." Why didn't you provide a good explanation then? This one would create a lot of trouble. In addition, it is not true... You have said that you don't want us to be an issue. Why change your mind?"" Cuz it is fun,"This conversation was beginning to give me a headache. I stepped out of the car, today we had an exam and the English debate that we have prepared for this last week. Shawn was walking by my side adjusting his footsteps to my pace. He was even holding my backpack that he managed to steal from me earlier.
Last Updated : 2021-06-19Money and pride Chapter 20: Our meeting
I was thinking in my room about what Shawn has said, he seemed to be serious about this marriage and love thing. By saying that I am thinking, it means that I am actually not refusing this idea. My mind keeps changing and my mood is one of the factors that are making me feel uneasy.I decided to clear my mind with someone whom I trust would never spread my secret to anyone. I called no one other than Tony." Are you busy today?" I asked as soon as he picked up." I can always find time for my old client," he replied." Great, meet me at our old spot."I wore high waist jeans and a black tight top. I rolled my hair up in a bun and asked my driver to take me to our meeting location. I lied to Gerald telling him that I am meeting my friends. He did not suspect anything as I took my leave. I missed this neighborhood we are driving in, to be honest, it may be dirty and damp but it will always hold a part in my heart.I took my first p

Money and pride Chapter 48: The end
After half a year.The rain was pouring heavily; I was standing between Kenny and Shawn holding a sad expression on our faces. The weather was sharing my sorrow and my heart was heavier than ever. I was trying to not cry but as usual, I ended up wetting the ground beneath me. I never thought that I would be this distressed over my father's death since I always wished for it.In the last six months, Kenny and I invested a lot of time for dad, we were spending most of our time together as if we were compensating for our previous years. We wanted to relive an experience that we wished for when we were kids. The German doctor could not realize the impossible, it was already known that dad would die and that is exactly what happened.After the funeral, Shawn asked all the attendants who were all from my side to come and spend the night in the mansion. He knew that dad's death left an empty space in my heart and that I need to fill it with ot
Money and pride Chapter 47: Into place
Lily's POV:When I saw those eyes of my brother, I knew right away that he would not want to visit dad. I forced him to accompany me to the hospital as I told Shawn what happened exactly since I have been kidnapped. He ordered his men to bring Siergo to his feet so he would be punished respectively.Shawn waited in the hall for us after he ordered Jack to go back home, I informed my brother about how dad was pressured and that the only reason he treated us badly was because; I am illegitimate and Kenny always took his mother's side even though she betrayed him.I kept convincing him that we have to be by his side on his death bed. Eventually, he gave in to my exasperation and agreed to check up on him with me. We both entered his room, dad was arguing with the doctor to let him leave but the doctor refused."I am telling you, I do not care whether I live or die just let me go," he yelled."Why don't you care?" Shawn replied, he o
Money and pride Chapter 46: Trump card
Shawn's POV:I asked the same prosecutors I threatened to get my dad in prison to release him, I felt humiliated when I did so. I was so angry that I kept imagining killing my dad; I wanted to practice the scene in my head. I waited for him to get out of prison; he eventually appeared from behind the gate."I can tell from your face that you can't even wait to go elsewhere, you can shoot me here if you want," he ridiculed."Get in the car," I ordered.I was taking him to the nearest excluded place which was the warehouse across the prison, we accessed it and I parked my car. Just when I was ready to shoot him, a lot of bodyguards came in running towards me, I didn't give a shit about it and still aimed at my father. To my surprise, he was carrying a gun himself.How did he get a gun? How did he even contact his men in prison when he can only contact one person a day and that was me, I wondered."You must be perplexed by now, I was rel
Money and pride Chapter 45: A gunshot
I reached the hospital and the nurse led me to the ICU in order to see my father. I entered the room to spot him lying on his bed, he was still unconscious. The doctor told me that he has stage four liver cancer from all the alcohol he drank during his lifetime, he has only six months left to live at most and this stage can not be treated."How did he come here?" I asked."He lost his consciousness on the streets and someone brought him here,"I recalled that I have to call Shawn as soon as possible; I should not be the reason why Gerald get out of prison, that is not why I came back. I did not know Shawn's number though so I was in a tight spot.I checked up on dad one last time and asked the doctor to not let him out of the hospital until I come to get him myself. I gave them my account number and paid online for my father's hospital fees. I decided to quickly rush to the mansion and ask someone to contact Shawn for me. I did as planned and took one of
Money and pride Chapter 44: Bad news
Shawn's POV:I know that beating the man inside the van for facts was useless; I checked my phone waiting for a phone call. Her brother looked my way as if he understood why I stood in silence; he seemed to wait for the same phone call.My phone rang as expected, I had already sent my men to look up CCTVs and check all of the vans' locations but I knew better than anyone that this will not work because it will take us a lot of time that we do not have."Do you miss me?" Gerald asked from the other side of the line."Out of bail?""No, but you will get me out soon," as Gerald was saying that sentence, my assistant informed me that his case would go to court."I see that Siergo's betrayal didn't really get you anywhere," I ridiculed.Before Tony called me to inform me about Lily's coming back and her flight, I received a call from my men at Siergo's house. I was told that the doctor has been killed and that
Money and pride Chapter 43: Going back
I made my brother a cup of tea, even though it has been a long time since I have last seen him but strangely enough after what he has told me. I felt really comfortable sitting by his side, he kept telling me about how he spent those past years. As soon as he reached France, he worked as a waiter since he did not have enough money to continue his education.Gerald got him an apartment but did not give him any money; he started from zero until he bought a house in a nice street after becoming the restaurant's manager. He mentioned that he was offered an arranged marriage with a girl he liked but he refused since he did not want to be responsible for anyone anymore.He dated for fun and also presumed his karate training even in France. He taught kids how to fight in a dojo he knows from time to time. I was proud that he managed to straighten his life even though it was hard for him to do so.I told him about how Gerald forced me to marry his son and took ove
Money and pride Chapter 42: Reunion
The man was tall, thin, and black-haired with light grey eyes that matched mine. His look was hot-blooded and his face screamed no mercy. I recall these features very well; this man is no one else other than my brother."I am sure you know who I am, sis," he pronounced the word 'sis' as easy as drinking water, what gives him the right to call me that?"I am sorry, I think you got the wrong person," I retorted while passing by him unlocking my door.I closed the door behind me but before I knew it, he was already inside slipping swiftly with her thin figure."Are you deaf, get out," I spat out to his face."I did not expect this reaction, I thought you would show me tears of happiness if I showed up like that," he started."Do you think I am the same fragile little girl from before? Why would I even waste my time and talk to you,""So you know who I am," he smirked.Fuck him, he is really wishing for a beating."Wha
Money and pride Chapter 41: Threads
Shawn's POV:The police knocked on our door as predicted, it seems that dad could not prevent his arrest at least, he must have struck a deal somehow, I needed to know who are those persons if I wanted to get them on my side. I placed a wire in his office and I indeed knew whom exactly did he call.They took him away in their patrol car and I had twenty-four hours to work out on keeping him there. I called Siergo to make sure that the doctor is held safely at his place, I have instructed him yesterday that he must protect him at all cost, he is our sole witness after all.Gerald killed his brother and I sent the evidence to the prosecutors already, I have tortured the doctor to confess. I also threatened him with his family and promised him protection if he becomes our witness.The doctor mentioned that Gerald was having a dispute with his brother, Indigo was mad that Gerald hid his daughter from him all this time and told him that
Money and pride Chapter 40: Into action
I was in the airport waiting for my flight to arrive, it was 6 pm and I bet Shawn would be going back home by now. I wonder what would his reaction be when he reads my letter. An hour has passed; I got on board and leaned in my seat as I grabbed tightly my small backpack.I never had a lot of belongings and it seems that I will never have, I am going to a new country where I know no one there. All alone, I am supposed to cope with the environment and succeed in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I kept thinking of Shawn all the ride long, as I reached France, Paris; I checked my account to find a million in cash in my bank account.I guess Gerald wanted me to never come back for real, it is not like I thought he wouldn't but it just hurts me whenever I think of that old geezer and how he managed to ruin my life.I unpacked in an apartment that I have rented until I find a nicer permanent home. The room was clean and that all I needed, I was not picky,
