Shawn's gaze was fixed on mine, his eyes showing a spark of vulnerability that I hadn't seen before. "Serenity, please listen to me," he began, his voice low and surprisingly soothing. "I know I screwed up. I shouldn't have let our past get in the way of our present. When I said I love you, I meant it. And I want to make things right. I want to spend the rest of my life with you Serenity." Suddenly, he knelt on one knee, opening the small velvet box in his hand, revealing a beautiful diamond ring inside. "I know this might seem crazy. After everything I put you through, both in the past and present, it's crazy of me to still come back asking for your forgiveness. But if being termed 'crazy' means I get to spend the rest of my life with you, then I'm willing to be called that and more."The meeting hall felt suffocating at that moment. I looked around, thanking the heavens that the hall was empty. Even my boss was nowhere to be seen. We were alone. My palms began to sweat as Shawn

Warning: Mature Content ahead!SHAWN DONNELLY~~He still couldn't believe Gina's simple idea worked. Soon, Serenity would be his wife! Calista... would be his wife.After proposing, five weeks after they were quite peaceful, and he easily took a leave from work for this week. There were only three days left for the wedding.Back from one of their usual outings, Serenity looked... breathtaking.She had her eyes on him as he locked the door. He knew that look all too well."We should get some rest." He chuckled, looking away from her eyes awkwardly.However, just as he was about to make his way to the bed, Serenity pranced slowly towards him, like a lioness stalking its prey. "Hmm...but it's still so early." She uttered with a low voice, her hands delicately landing on his chest. He gulped and his eyes landed on her boobs. They were peeking out of the V-neckline of her dress, basically begging him to release them from their prison. He stayed silent as Serenity's palms traced down hi

It all felt like a bad dream. Shawn watched as Sage got closer to the altar, a mocking look on her face. "So, this is Serenity Fairchild." She had her eyes on Serenity. "Or, should I say 'Calista Whitaker '?"Shawn clenched his fists, trying to quell the anger boiling inside him. He looked at Serenity, watching her eyebrows contort into a frown. She turned her gaze to him now, "Shawn, who's this?" Shawn felt his mouth quivering, as he struggled to come up with a perfect way to explain all this. However, Sage beat him to it."I must say, after spending that night with me, I was quite surprised that you didn't try to reach out." Sage feigned a dejected look. The woman deserved an Oscar.Shawn glanced to see Serenity's reaction and watched as her face turned pale. But then, she took in a deep breath, as she faced Sage with renewed confidence.“Excuse me, but who are you? And what do you mean you 'spent a night with Shawn'?” Her voice was oddly calm and calculative, but laced with an u

It has been exactly one week since the unexpected turn of events on what was supposed to be my wedding day. Everyone had been worried, but I wasn't in the mood to pick up any of their calls, only sending a few texts assuring Alice and my parents that I was okay. I felt awkward talking to Brielle now, especially after what Gabe tried to do a few days back. I didn't go to work, I rarely stepped outside except at night to get some basic needs... my daily routine had become a depressing bore of me spending long hours on the couch watching TV. My mind was slipping away, I could feel it. The feeling of hopelessness, the finding peace in solitude and isolation while also feeling like the world had turned its back on me. I felt alone.Today, I went through some of the stuff that I'd managed to smuggle out of Gran Gran's place. Most of it was stuff from my college days, but some was also stuff that reminded me of Shawn. Amongst those things, was a videotape, containing clips of special mo

The next day, I and Shawn set out to find Gabe. Reaching his house, it was obvious that he'd escaped, probably after hearing Brielle's announcement on the radio.I low-key felt bad that our trio had lost a friend, but it was for the best. Gabe needed to be stopped and held accountable.With help from a hesitant Sage, we were eventually able to find Gabe at an airport, about to book a flight. But we'd brought some police officers along and were ready for him."Gabe!" I called his name when I spotted him trying to enter a queue. He turned to find me, and when our eyes eventually met, I felt my heart stop. This man, someone I'd seen as one of my only friends, had tried to ruin my life... all because he wanted to get me for himself.While I was lost in my thoughts, Shawn pointed at Gabe, recognizing his face from some pictures I showed him."That's him, officers." His tone seemed to carry a mix of amusement and irritation, giving off a chilly vibe. He definitely wanted to get back at Gab
