The Billionaire’s Secretary Chapter 17. Mixed Feelings.
Shawn quickly shifted his gaze back to a groaning Andrew. "Daddy!" he cried out, his voice filled with desperation, as Shawn stared at him, realizing the gravity of the situation. "Oh my God!" Amy gasped, her eyes widening in shock, as she squatted beside Andrew, as if just realizing what had happened. "Let's move him fast," she said urgently, her voice laced with concern. Shawn nodded, his mind racing, as he gave Andrew a piggyback ride and rushed to his car. ************ Shawn and Amy stood in the hospital hallway, anxiously waiting for the doctors in charge of Andrew's care. Shawn couldn't help but pace around, worry etched on his face. He was completely unaware of his companion until she spoke up. "Don't you have an explanation?" Amy asked, her expression a mix of sternness and exhaustion. Shawn stopped pacing and locked eyes with her for a moment. "That..." he began, his voice faltering. "That's not important right now." Amy scoffed, disbelief coloring her tone. "Really?"

“Go ahead Mommy,” Andrew’s probing eyes pierced into Cheryl’s. Her pale face turned from her son to Shawn, while giving him a pleading look to interfere. And of course,for her favor. It seemed Shawn understood, he turned briefly to Andrew. “Hey Son, if you force us like this, I won’t help but believe you don’t trust Daddy,” Andrew frowned and gave a knowing look. “What’s so hard about kissing each other, Daddy?” He asked not planning on giving up. “Perry’s parents do it a lot,” “Who’s Perry?” Cheryl's eyes widened. Shocked her son was acquainted with strangers.“My friend at school. She always brags about her parent being the sweetest,” Andrew offered without being specifically asked. Cheryl rolled her eyes. Some parents can be unbelievable. Doing stuff like that in front of their kids?“Come on Mommy, kiss daddy already!” Andrew squealed. “Or I won’t take my medications,” he folded his arms and gave a grumpy look. Cheryl knew that look. She was extremely stubborn but if Andrew de

Allen drew a deep breath as he relaxed on the round-back sofa he sat on, his eyes still fixed on the fireplace. What could he do? The man that had caused misery for his daughter all these years was back. And slowly Infiltrating her heart without her knowing just to deceive her again once again.“When is the shareholders meeting holding?” He asked instead.“Next month, Sir,” Allen entwined his fingers, once again he was at a crossroad. He needed to see Shawn pay for all he had done and at the same time keep him away from his daughter. He knew he had ulterior motives coming back to her again. He was very sure of it.“Go according to our plan, Simon. And make sure you report to me his every move,” Allen turned to him this time. “Yes, Sir,” he turned and exited the room.*************Cheryl walked down the hospital hallway silently with Eric by her side. She wanted to break the silence, but how? What should she start with? Who Shawn was? Why she was in his arms a while ago? “I…”“Y

Shawn watched as Cheryl moved back instinctively like she was caught doing something bad.“Ah,” she chuckled. Shawn had a bemused smile that wasn’t really visible. Cheryl fidgeted as she thought of the right words to say.“I was just…..” she gestured to Andrew, in a vain attempt to explain her actions.“I missed you Cheryl,” The word struck Cheryl as she watched him for a while. She stood still without moving. It felt as if she has been longing for those words. “I….” She tried to look for the right words to say but it seemed like she haven’t got one.Shawn stood up and approached her steadily they were just inches close. He raised his hand as he push back a strand of hair that slipped from the perfect ponytail she had.“I’m so sorry for all these years, I…..” Shawn’s words trailed off. Cheryl could only watch him.She hadn’t expect to meet Shawn again. Of course she had not. She knew their path would definitely cross. After she found out she was linked to the owner of Castle corp and

Katherine frowned as she turned her face to the obvious stranger. Silence ensued as the adults watched them, one word could lead to misunderstandings. “Hey Katherine, meet Andrew,” Amy spoke up. She looked up at Shawn before she continued. “Shawn’s son,” She added.Katherine turned from her mother to Shawn who had this helpless look. “Daddy?” Katherine called out as Andrew cut in again sharply. “Don’t call him Daddy!” Katherine turned sharply to him. “He’s my daddy! Why are you telling me not to call him!” She cried out. At this point, Shawn couldn’t watch them fight. He loved his son more than life itself but he couldn’t see Katherine cry. He quickly turned her face to look at him. “Hey Hey,” he coaxed. “Don’t cry princess, You can call me whatever you want, okay?” “Daddy!” Andrew’s angry voice cut in, in frustration. Cheryl who has be silent the whole time turned to him. “Andrew, don’t be rude,” she said almost in a whisper. It hurt to see her son in pain, but she knew better.

Eric cursed for the up-tenth time as he dragged his reluctant feet into to the hospital building. He would have come earlier, but his guilt didn’t let him. He slept with another woman when he claimed to love Cheryl. He felt like he betrayed her or something. So he was at home for almost the whole day reeling from his guilt. Until he found the courage to go, it was just a fling, a one-night stand with a stranger. It wasn’t that serious. As he made to pass through the door that led into the hospital building, someone held his arm from behind.“Hey handsome,” he could recognize that voice, the one he dreaded of hearing again. After their night of passion. When he work up the next day, she was nowhere to be found. And now she was here, again. To his discomfort.Eric turned to see her. She was dressed more provocatively that yesterday. This made him come to a conclusion. She was a playgirl.“I don’t have time for this…..”He stoped when he realized he didn’t know her name. “Isabelle,” s

“Cheryl,” Shawn called, his voice giving a hint of fear.“What are you doing out here?” She asked as Shawn realized she didn’t catch in on what he was saying earlier on the phone. He chuckled lightly and walked up to her. “Problem at work,”“Oh…” Cherly nodded lightly. “Come on in, it’s cold out here,” Shawn nodded as she opened the door and walked in. Shawn trailed after her. “The doctor said Andrew’s better now,” he said, his voice filled with relief."Yeah, thankfully," Cheryl replied, turning to look at him."About work..." she began, and Shawn felt a sudden chill in his hand. "Is everything okay?" She raised an eyebrow, concern etched on her face."Yeah," he replied almost immediately, shrugging it off. Cheryl paused and turned to walk away, but then swiftly turned back to face him. "Helen told me you sent a proposal to the company. And..." Cheryl paused, licking her lips. "I rejected it," she confessed, a tinge of guilt in her voice."It's fine," Shawn reassured her with a cool

“Congratulations boss, I can’t believe we did it,” Jeff grinned as he stood in front of Shawn in his office.“Yeah, I guess we did,” he affirmed. “How did you convince her,” Jeff held his chin thoughtfully.“Convince who?” They both turned to see a third party. They didn’t notice when Amy entered the room. She was looking smartly dressed as usual, her hair in a ponytail and her eyes glittering as always.“Hi, Amy,” Shawn said as she darted her eyes from Jeff to Shawn."Uh... I should get going, boss. I have something to finish," Jeff hastily excused himself, understanding the need for Shawn and Amy to have some privacy.Amy observed Jeff's swift exit and then focused her gaze on Shawn. "So..." she prompted, raising an eyebrow, eager to know what had transpired between him and Jeff."Castle Corp accepted our proposal," Shawn began as Amy took a seat across from him at his desk. "Now, the shareholders have no choice but to appoint me as their CEO.""Oh..." Amy nodded, processing the in

“I’m sorry for interrupting,” Cheryl said quickly and walked off.“Fuck.” Shawn cursed and made to run after her but Any blocked his path.“Amy,” he started with a pleading tone.“Her? Again?” She accused.“You shouldn’t have done that.” Shawn was accused immediately.Amy’s mouth dropped. “What?”Shane brushed his hand through his hair. “Why did you kiss me? What was that for?”“Are you dumb? Do you even need to ask,” Amy turned her back to him, angry? But she could hear her heartbeat now. She was losing and she hated it.She heard him draw a deep breath. “No matter what happens between me and Cheryl. I will always love her.” She heard him say.“Wow.” She turned to him with a bemused smile, laced with pain. “How sweet for you to tell me to my face.”“I wasn’t trying to…”“I don’t need your pity, Shawn. Just leave.” She snapped.“I don’t just pity you, Amy. You are my best friend. I care about you a lot.” “Well, I’m not too sure about that. Leave Shawn. Go meet her, but don’t come bac

“I won!” Andrew’s cry of delight cut into the night as Isabella fumbled with the cards and started reshuffling.“You were just lucky.” She said absentmindedly as Andrew chuckled.“You can hardly call winning three times in a roll a luck.” Andrew grinned as he shifted on the floor he sat.Isabella narrowed her eyes at him. “I will think whatever I want. You a just a kid.” Andrew made a mocking face at her when she wasn’t looking. “I saw that.” She turned to him with a stern gaze.“You’re just a sore loser.” Andrew mockingly retorted.“I’m not!”“You are!”“What?” Isabella chuckled incredulously.“You’re sulking because I beat you. You shouldn’t be. Eric and Mum are not a match for me.” He said, more interested in showing his prowess than comforting her.Isabella rolled her eyes. “Really?”“I wouldn’t lie if you could easily ask Eric.”“Who taught you then?” “No one. I played cards with myself most time. Because I don’t have friends. No one wanted to be friends with me because I didn

“You would agree with me that Shawn doesn’t deserve her. You do, Eric.” Allen gave him a weak encouraging smile.“All this while…” he took a deep breath. “Ivey has been watching Cheryl in the dark. And the one reason why I didn’t reveal myself quickly was partly because you were around….with her.” “That’s..” Eric chuckled nervously. “That’s great to hear, sir.”Allen nodded. “That’s why you should pursue her Eric. Please do.” He stood up and walked up to him. “I support you.” He tapped his shoulder and walked out of the room. Eric stood there transfixed for a while then found his way back to his office. He rested back on his chair as he reminisced over what Allen said. This was exactly the push he nodded. The support. But then, where was Cheryl?Maybe he was right. Shawn was bad. He affects her too much. Negatively. His phone dinged as he checked the notification. It was a voicemail from Cheryl.“Hey, Eric. Don’t freak out. I’m not dead. I just need some time alone. Could you help

“Shawn would do anything for you right now. Katherine’s life is at stake and he loves her so much. At least we are sure of that.” Clary started.“Specify. What should I do?” Amy said impatiently.Clary stared at a for a while then burst into mocking laughter as Amy stared at her with a frown.“What?”“Just shocked you’re suddenly interested.” Clary eyed him as Amy pressed her lips together. “I’ve given up everything for Shawn. It’s crazy to give up now. And Cheryl isn’t good for him. They separated then, now shouldn’t be any different.” Amy mused.“Ugh? Who are you saying that?” Clary gave her a quizzical look.“Shawn was genuinely happy before she came back to his life. She’s just a bitch.” Amy sighed.“What was that sweet gesture you showed her when she was here?”“I promised Shawn not to act weirdly because of the kids.” She drew in a deep breath. “She won’t get funny ideas. Cheryl is a smart woman. What plans were you talking about before.” Amy swiftly changed the subject as Clary

Amy drew a deep breath and bit her lower lips. “You were the sole cause of their fight. If the kids keep fighting over you, worse things could happen.” “What? What do you mean by sole…”Shawn paused as he sighed. “You can’t do this, Amy. I can’t just shut Katherine out of my Life.” “Oh…You already chose sides. It’s Andrew, ugh?” Amy gave him a painful smile.“Come on, Amy. Don’t do this.” Shawn begged desperately.“Okay.” Amy started after a moment of silence. “I allow you to be with Katherine. How would Andrew feel next time? This time, it was just a push. I saw how you defended them today. You still want her, right?”“I….”Shawn parted his lips to talk but closed it abruptly. “I needed to comfort both parties.”Amy stared at him for a while as if contemplating something. She moved close to him, closing the distance between them. Shawn stared at her, as he took note of the painful look she gave him. She moved her hand to his….and slipped the phone from his hand.“Don’t…”Amy looked u

He rushed towards her as Isabella raised her gaze to meet Eric’s. She smiled at him but Eric wasn’t looking welcoming. “What are you doing here?” He asked with a tone of urgency.“I am officially homeless.” She drawled sarcastically as Eric watched her in disbelief.“What?”“Dad asked me to leave. I don’t have anywhere to go.” She pouted as Eric cursed under his breath.“How is that my business?” “You are the cause.” She said curtly.“How? What the hell are you talking about?” He mused.“Dad asked me not to see you. But I’m too obsessed. I can’t seem to get over you.” Isabella said like it was normal.“Can you listen to yourself? Don’t you have an atom of shame?” Eric asked, utterly irritated.“Can we go inside?” Isabella said as if she hasn’t been listening to him.“I’m cold.” She added as Eric sighed in frustration.“Then you should go home and beg him. Or go to your friend’s. I don’t care.”“I don’t have any friends.” She said with no hint of emotion. Eric watched her, how could a

“Mr. Antonio here is Andrew’s Mum.” Ms. Lambert introduced herself as Shawn watched her.“I'll leave now. I have to go back to school.” The teacher excused herself and left almost immediately.Cheryl too was more stunned to speak. What was Shawn doing here? Why was he related to Katherine’s parents?“Daddy!” Andrew shouted as he rushed to Shawn. The older man opened his arm willingly as the boy walked into his embrace.“Hey….” Shawn bent down as Andrew pouted.“What are you doing here?” Cherly was the next to speak.Shawn looked up to her. As he could see a renewed hatred she had for him.“I…”“Shawn!” Another woman shouted from afar as they all turned to see Amy.She rushed towards him like a deranged woman. “My daughter…..” she said quickly. Then it dawned on Cheryl. Katherine was Amy’s Kat. That was why Shawn was here. He came as her father. What mess. She thought angrily.“She is fine. The doctor is monitoring her.” Shawn said quickly. “Ugh? Why did she get into an accident in th

“What are you….”“Don’t get me wrong,” Isabella interjected with a sarcastic look. “I came with my date. I wasn’t following you around.” Eric cursed under his breath as he took a quick glance at Cheryl who had a confused look.Isabella had a gaze turned to Cheryl. “Hi….I’m Izzy. And you must be….” She narrowed her eyes to Eric, she noted his discomfiture at her appearance. And to be honest, she was enjoying it. She planned to play with him till the end. “Eric’s girlfriend.” She said gleefully.Eric turned to Cheryl. “Give us a minute.” He said nervously and dragged Isabella away. “I didn’t get your name!” She shouted back as Eric dragged her away.“What game are you playing?” Eric asked in a low angry tone.Isabella blinked as if trying to understand what he was saying. “What do you mean?”“You know what I’m talking about!” Eric snapped. Isabella pouted as if hurt. Eric closed his eyes for a while as he tried to control the growling anger in him. This girl was driving him crazy.“Fuc

"What is this, Bane?" she asked, her voice dripping with anger."It's the boss's orders, miss," Bane replied apologetically."Screw you, Bane!" she fired back, her anger intensifying. She turned to face the group of men, determined to leave no matter what. However, their resolute expressions matched her determination, hindering her escape."You'll pay for this," she warned, directing her gaze back at Bane, who remained unfazed. Frustrated, she faced the men again, their stern looks discouraging her further. She unzipped her bag and pulled out a wad of cash. "Who wants this?" she taunted, searching for any signs of surrender, but they remained unyielding."Drop it, Miss. We've been ordered to keep you here," Bane spoke from behind. She turned and briskly walked towards him. "I have a damn party to attend," she feigned a smile."We both know you're lying, Miss," he responded, causing Isabella to furrow her brow in confusion."I'll make sure you lose your damn job," she threatened, pokin
