"Kill him," he growled.
"Kill who? What are you saying?” I yelled as I grabbed his collar.
"Kill fuckin who?" I repeated.
"You don't need him anyway, let us start with the people that you don't need first.." he continued.
Did he mean my dad? Jack? Who the fuckin does he mean?
"No don't just don't please..." I begged.
"I have to prove to you that I am not just throwing empty threats..." he explained.
"I know so stop, I know..." I cried, he was getting on my nerves playing with my head.
I do not wish to be the reason for anyone's death, let me play along with him until I decide what I should do...
"The first on the list is Jack and your dad in case you were thinking about escaping, within 12 hours if you didn't come back, it

In the morning, Jessy was applying my makeup for me, I had to trick Shawn into thinking that everything is okay. I thought about telling him but I knew that Gerald would still do what he wants even if his son disapproved. I didn't want to bet on my friends' lives."Thanks, Jessy," I mumbled."No problem, I will pray for you, Lily,""Thanks, dear,"I got downstairs to eat breakfast with the man who ruined my life, it wasn't my biological dad nor 18 years old dad but this man particularly who fuckin ruined everything."Why didn't you tell me directly, Lily, You agreed to marry me?" Shawn asked."Yeah, I would love to, as you said I am attracted to you, also Gerald asked me to so I couldn't disagree," I mentioned."That is quite sudden, I am surprised..." Shawn continued."I am happy though," he added."You shall make sure that you take good care of her," Gerald instructed."No worries,"We finished our

Gerald stood in front of me, I can't believe that the one who will walk with me on the aisle is actually the most one I wish to kill right at this moment. We crossed arms and headed towards the groom. Shawn was looking gently at me, he was fabulous, he wore a grey suit that matched his eyes' color.His necktie was black and his hairstyle had changed a bit, he looked even more mature with this style. He gave me his hand which I grabbed helping me climb the stairs. I stood steadily facing him, we waited for the officiant to give his speech."Welcome family, friends, and loved ones. We are gathered today to celebrate the union of Lily Anderson and Shawn Gerald. We are all here to support this commitment of love and to share the joy of Lily and Shawn as they choose to spend their lives together... "I couldn't hear the rest of his statement since I was so busy trying to make sure that dad and Jack aren't within the audience, I was too busy to remember that Jac

Shawn's POV:She turned red as always, I didn't know whether she was just way too nervous or disappointed. I wanted to make her feel good though so I decided to make a move.Only thin air was separating between both our bodies, she was breathing heavily, her breast was rubbing against mine. She does not know that I am the one who chose her the dress; it does not show much of her skin, well, her skin is mine alone to touch and contemplate.I slid the straps of her dress exposing her white smooth skin, the dress fell to the floor, she was wearing a tight black top and shorts underneath. I lift her up bride-style and placed her body gently on the bed, I was too excited for this. I hopped on the bed as I took off my chemise and unzipped my pants. I glanced at her cute face and spotted her fidgeting her fingers nervously."Hey... Hey... Why are you so nervous?" I asked."I don't want to do this, I really don't...""Why?" I could feel my vo

Lily's POV:He did not come back the whole night, he slept in his old bedroom. I know that I rejected him but I did not expect him to act this way, I even tried to apologize but he strongly blocked me. My pride was hurt as I was waiting for him all night long but he did not come back.Gerald informed me during breakfast that we will meet with the CEO of ChemiPharma and the executives of the company. We will discuss with them some documents regarding my rights over the company. It seems that Gerald will use me to kick him out and take over or something."I will also attend this meeting," Shawn commented."We won't need you there though,""I would like to help, I think that Lily should be supervising the work since it is her company, after all, I will help her recognize her duties.""Did you forget that you have your own work to accomplish," Gerald clarified."I can always find time for my wife,"After br

Siergo took his leave and I was all alone with Shawn in Siergo’s office.“Don’t you think you were a little bit rude?” I asked.“I like to be rude, it is fun,” he stated in a childish tone.It is not as if I care anyway, I will ignore him just as he does to me. It seems that he was serious about teaching me though, he was reading the documents seriously and he kept explaining to me several business terms.I need to know what exactly Gerald told him.“What did you decide to help me?”“It is your company, Lily. You should manage it yourself,” he clarified.“It seems that you went against your father decision earlier though,”He converted his look from reading the papers and documents into glaring at me.“Why? Did you think I would listen to my father even if he was at fault?” he retorted.“I didn’t say that…”

I had to make some necessary preparations to guarantee my friends’ safety. I asked Jessy to leave a document that contains all the details of my state in a certain spot that does not have any CCTVs. Tony’s clients would use the same way to deliver him the case they wanted him to work on keeping their identity a secret and eliminating any trail of the process.I instructed Tony to tell Diana, John, Jack, and dad about this in private when the right time comes, he can’t send them any messages since their phones might be tracked. I also asked him to be careful at all times; he had to gather them in a safe place at the right time.I stressed most the fact that I do not want his interference in my business, Tony does not like trouble but I am worried that John might do something crazy. Tony would take the right measurements; I will trust him with this. Gerald’s men might be more professional but in the neighborhoods, I live in with my friends. Gangst

Lily’s POV:Siergo was sipping his tea, he is half-Italian and I could tell that he is so calm and cold by nature. Unlike most Italians, he does not get angry that quickly, on the opposite, his black curls sliding on his eyebrows gave him a gentle look.“You are here, Lily,” he started.“Yeah, we needed to talk,” I was speaking in a bit of an angry tone.“You sure hold grudges, Lily,”“You shouldn’t have talked this way yesterday, Shawn has nothing to do with his father's schemes, I don’t want to drag him into this,” I clarified.“Is that what you think?”“Yes, I am telling you this is between me, you, and Gerald alone,” I repeated.“Are you telling me you didn’t even mention what Gerald did to you to Shawn?”“No,”“Why?” he asked.“As I said I do not wish to troub

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.

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

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,
