Shawn swiftly turned and crouched down to the little girl's level, his face stern. "Katherine Darling, how many times have I told you not to call me 'daddy' randomly?" He rubbed his cheek, his gaze fixed on her."But I..." Katherine began to protest."Katherine!" Another woman, who had been chasing after her, called out as she reached them."Oh, Shawn," the woman exclaimed upon seeing him.Katherine hurriedly made her way to the woman and hugged her tightly. "Mummy," she cried, holding onto her. The woman glanced at Shawn with a questioning look."Daddy Shawn got mad because I called him 'papa'," Katherine complained, while Amy looked down at Katherine with concern and then back at Shawn. "I'm so sorry, Shawn. She must have inconvenienced you," Amy said, her expression filled with worry.A smile curved on Shawn's lips. "No, not at all. Don't blame her, and it's fine," Shawn reassured, his previous anger dissipating. Cheryl had misunderstood the situation, thinking Katherine longed for

"Castle Corp?" Shawn raised an eyebrow, perplexed by Jeff's statement."That's Cheryl's company, right?" Shawn's secretary nodded in confirmation.Shawn leaned back in his chair, a sigh escaping his lips. It seemed like fate was toying with him."When is the shareholders' meeting scheduled?" he inquired, his mind racing with possibilities."It's on the 10th of next month," Jeff responded, his voice laced with concern.Shawn considered the timeline for a moment, weighing his options."That should give us enough time for..." he trailed off, his thoughts interrupted by a sudden voice at the door."What's enough time for what?" A vibrant brunette entered the room without bothering to knock, holding a file in her hands. It was Amy.Amy glanced between Shawn and Jeff, curiosity etched on her face as she settled into a chair opposite Shawn's desk."What's with the long faces?" she asked, placing the files on the desk and fixing her gaze on the two men.Shawn sighed heavily, feeling the weigh

"Hi!" Andrew's tiny voice cut into their little meeting, and Shawn instinctively turned, recognizing the voice. Slowly freeing Amy, a smile crossed his lips as he looked down to see the most important person in his life."Hi there," Shawn returned with a smile, squatting beside Andrew."We didn't get to talk before, back at school, but Mum said we could say hi," Andrew offered without being asked, while Shawn stared at him lovingly. This was his son. He couldn't believe it. The child he had wanted nothing to do with in the past. But now, as he watched him, he silently thanked Cheryl for keeping him."Shawn?" Amy called out, and Shawn turned to her, standing up. "Who is he?" Amy asked as she cleaned the tears from her face."Ah," Shawn chuckled nervously. "This is my son," he whispered to Amy, whose eyes widened."Your son?" Amy asked, her voice filled with surprise. Shawn turned back to Andrew."Where's your mommy?" he asked.Andrew turned, catching sight of Cheryl walking towards the

Shawn stood there, his mouth slightly agape, his gaze fixed on Amy's curious yet infuriated face. He struggled to find the right words to respond to her sudden outburst."What do you mean?" Shawn chuckled nervously, hoping to diffuse the tension that had enveloped them."Forget it," Amy snapped irritably, her patience wearing thin. "Katherine must be waiting for us."Unwilling to let her go without understanding her anger, Shawn reached out and gently held her hands, a desperate attempt to keep her from walking away. Amy turned to him, her eyes filled with frustration and a hint of betrayal, and Shawn could feel the weight of her gaze piercing through him.Staring back at her, Shawn felt a mix of confusion and concern. "I'm... I mean, I don't know, Amy," he stammered, desperately trying to gather his thoughts and make sense of the situation.Amy let out a curt sigh, her arms folding across her chest. "Okay," she said tersely, her voice laced with disappointment. She made another attem

Cheryl stood up as she paced around as if on a deep thought but she will well aware of two pair of eyes waiting for her answer. She stopped abruptly and turned to look at Helen who still had her boss under a gaze. “When did this proposal come in?” “Just this morning ma’am,” she replied. Cheryl face formed a frown. “Rejected,” she said out of the blue.“Ma’am?” Helen asked obviously confused at her remark.“The proposal,” She continued. “I don’t care how good it is, it is rejected. This company will have nothing to do with Antonio corp.”“Why?” Eric cut in saying his first word since Helen walked in. “From what I see here,” he continued as he flipped through the page of the file Helen came in with a while ago. “This is a good one, Cheryl,” Cheryl shifted her gaze to the file, trying to hide the urge to read it’s content but voted otherwise as she looked for a safer way to know what was inside. “Why?” She said almost without interest.“Castle corp might be having internal struggles ri

“What?” She gave him a piercing gaze. “Aren’t you leaving?” “Like I said Cheryl I don’t plan on leaving,” Shawn said with a note of finality which was to Cheryl’s distaste. She showed it as she let out a scoff.“Like before,” he added as Cheryl regarded him seriously this time.“Why are you doing this, Shawn?” Cheryl asked after a moment of silence almost in a pleading tone.“Because I want to make things right,” he said while Cheryl rolled her eyes to the ceiling.“We don’t need you,” she said with a stern look. “We are doing pretty well without you Shawn,” Shawn stood there as he digested her words. Cheryl thought for a moment that he would give in. But it was far from over.“Andrew’s grew fond of me you know,” Shawn had a pained look.“I caused it,” Cheryl shook her head like she realized the mess she caused. “You don’t deserve to breathe the same air as my son,” Shawn watched her for a moment then moved towards her. Cheryl stood there as she watched him moved closer. She was su

Cheryl gave Shawn a watchful gaze and turned to the phone that kept ringing and walked a considerable distance from both her son and Shawn.“Hey, Eric,” She said when she picked up.“Cheryl, there’s an emergency. We need to fly to Madrid in the next few minutes. One of the companies in the city is having a major issue with the launch. This needs your attention, Cheryl,” Eric spoke with a tone of urgency.Cheryl turned back to see her Son and Shawn back to eating, she sighed and replied, “Alright, I’ll meet you at the airport,” “Sure,” He replied. “About Andrew, who is going to watch him?” He added before hanging up.“Shoot!” Cheryl exclaimed. “I forgot you’d be tagging along,” she bit her lips.Eric’s hope was like a second home for Andrew.Cheryl heard him sigh from the other side, before he could say anything she spoke up first, “I’ll take care of it, Nevertheless,” “Alright see you at 9,” Eric said and hung up.Cheryl breathed deeply as she held her phone tight. She was about to

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?"

“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.

“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.

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.

“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.

"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
