All Chapters of Money and pride: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

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

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

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

I called each one of them and asked to meet at the bar we always go to. At first, they threw some excuses but when I told them that Shawn would like to get to know them, they became more curious. I was waiting for them to come not knowing what to talk about with Shawn.After we got married, the distance in our relationship grew wider, I still don't know why was he cold and suddenly he acted this kind. He keeps confusing me with his mood change."Hey Lily, how are you doing?" Carla showed up from behind me as she started speaking."I am fine, where the others?" I asked happy to see her."Diana is parking her car; they will come in a few minutes," "This is Shawn, Shawn this is..." "Carla, I heard a lot about you from Lily. I am glad that I finally get to meet you," Shawn stated interrupting me.Damn the fuckin background check, it is as if he knows every little detail of every individual in my life. "I am honore

I grabbed the envelope and started uncovering its content, there were a lot of images taken of me and Shawn sitting in the bar yesterday and talking in the car, the windows were foamed so there were no plus eighteen photos but the reason why we stopped for three hours and remained in the car was pretty evident."I expected that my son seeks pleasure from you but why did he waste his time and meet with your friends?" Gerald asked with contempt filling his voice.I seriously wish to hit him in the face right here and right now but miserably I can't."He wanted to meet with my friends..." I stated the obvious boldly."Lily, you must not understand what I am trying to imply here so let me speak more honestly. I was clear when I informed you that you would be disposable in no time, I don't want my son to get attached with these empty feelings that he has for you..."Did he think that our relationship would keep on deteriorating because I definitely thou
