While Sharon was surrounded by the group of reporters, bombarding different question at her, John was across the road seated in his car watching the whole scene unfold.
He was raged seeing how they surrounded her, asking questions about him just to get a content to sell him out to the internet.
What surprise him most, was how they found out he was getting engaged to her, he never made mention of such, but who would have told them to come to his house.
He gritted his teeth, clench his fist, and turn to his PA, whose attention was on the road, watching the scene.
He was about to send his assistant to go rescue Sharon, and lure the reporters away, but then Sharon defend him.
When he heard her defend him in the presence of the reporters, he was a little surprised, he never expected it, especially not from her.
He slowly diverted his attention back to the scene, and to his surprise, for the first time he got disfigured, a woman was defending him, Sharon was defending him in front of the reporters.
"My man ugly? She asked, and huffed, then continue, "pweeh that's just a rumor to ruin his image, my man is the most handsome man in the City and we both had a harmonious nightlife together, he is such a sweet and lovely man." She confidently said, and the group of reporters wows to her statement, fascinated to know more.
Though some of them didn't believe her, because of how bad the rumor of him being disfigured was in the city.
"My man has no illness, he is perfectly okay, everything about him is just a rumor." She added, to convince them even more.
John was taken aback, at that instant, his heart that was like that of a stone melted, seeing her protect his name and image. That moment he became interested in her, he wanted to have her and make her his wife.
Sharon took a step back, and thought of a way to flew the scene, and luckily an idea pop into her head.
"My man is coming to pick me up for a late night snacks, I wouldn't want to keep my man waiting, please excuse me." She said, and tried to make her way out, but they didn't budge.
She furrowed her brows at their actions, seeing them not making way for her, she panicked even more, thinking they didn't believe everything she just told them.
She dug her nails in her palms, trying not to show them she was affected in any way, while she makes some little prayers.
"If your man is as handsome as you have said, and he's coming to pick you up for a late night snack, wait here, let's confirm he is just as you have described." A gray hair female reporter Said, with a sinister smile on her face.
Sharon's heart skip at her statement, she just told them lies to escape from the scene, and now they're trying to hold her back.
'Is she trying to play games with me, just to uncover the truth'
At that instant her legs felt lame, she thought of all possible idea to flew out from the scene, but nothing positive was coming into her head, which made her panic even more.
If all this was a nightmare, she wants to wake up, she thought.
And suddenly an idea flash into her head, and she smiles, gaining more confidence to stand up to the reporters.
"Fine, if you would like to wait for him, go ahead and do it, wait while he comes to pick me up. But before he comes, I need to quickly use the restroom, I will be back, so excuse me" She said confidently surprise at her outburst.
And just like excepted she was able to deceive them, they affirmed to her request.
"Okay, go ahead while we wait here." A pale tan skin man responded.
She quickly hurried back into the villa and made use of her phone.
She scrolls through her contact trembling and dialed her girlfriend's contact. Luckily, she picked up in one ring.
"Hello Cakey, you need to help me, you have to come help me now please." She breathe out at once in a confuse state.
"Okay, calm down, calm down and talk to me, where do you want me to come save you, what are you talking about?"
"I don't have much time to explain, I will tell you everything once we meet, but for now, you have to quickly come save me."
"Okay now, where are you? Where are my coming to save you?"
"I'm at the billionaire's villa, the one that's rumored to be disfigured." Sharon said, and cakey's phone almost fell to the floor.
Without waiting for her response, Sharon hung up, she had full certainty that her friend is going to show up, she wouldn't leave her here.
Sharon inhaled and exhaled thrice to calm her racing heart. Dhe shook off her fear and with a slow steady stride, she dashes outside towards the group of reporters.
Immediately she strode out of the gate, her gaze landed on an old man standing beside a Roy Royce with a tight-lipped smile on his face.
She was perplexed at first, seeing how he was looking at her, and smiling. This was her first time she had come across him, but the way he smiles at her, it was like he had known her for a long time.
"Sharon?" He asked and she bobbed her head in response.
"Please come into the car, I'm here to pick you for a night snack with your fiancé John."
The group of reporters were astound. Sharon didn't know what to do, but instead of staying in the group of reporters, it was better to go with him.
"You wouldn't want to keep him waiting, hurry, I have to drop you off." The old man added.
"Oh yes, thank you." She responded and leisurely stride to the entrance of the car.
She hopped into the car, and they flew out of the scene, leaving the reporters to their curiosity.
After witnessing the whole scene, and Sharon leaving in a Roy Royce with an old man, John thought she left with her father.He turned to his assistant, "Take me to the family house, I need to speak with father." His authoritative tone ordered.And without another a word from Vincent to question his boss, he put on the car engine and hit the road. His aura doesn't look friendly, and to avoid getting on his bad side, you have to do as instructed.John sat quietly in the car, with a murderous look in his eyes, thinking of an easy technique to catch the villain.After some minutes drive, they arrived at the GU family house. The GU family house is one of the biggest and tallest building in the entire city, it's building is different from others, always surrounded with thousands of bodyguards.The touch of complete white painted on the building complimented it, and made it more radiant and beautiful.Vincent quickly steps down from the car and opened the door for John to step down.Vincent b
Sharon trembled in fear when she heard he was back to the villa, she was scared to death to see his disfigured features. She had tried to avoid seeing his face earlier, that was why she didn't switch on the light in the room she was taken to, and now it seems she can't escape it which made her more frightened, and her heart thump faster. John march into the living room and witness Sharon falling to the ground. He hurried towards her to help her up on her feet. "Are you okay?" His manly voice asked and he quickly step forward to help her up on her feet. In the process of wanting to help her, Sharon saw half of his face was severely burnt with fire, and the sight of him is frightened, his burnt face was irritating. She got more scared and fell back to the ground, shivering in fear, her gaze on her toes, avoiding eye contact with him. John withdraws from helping her up after he noticed she was scared of his half burnt face. He thought she wasn't scared of him after defending him in
Ann took Sharon back into the villa with a severe cold and fever. After spending the whole night outside the house with no roof or duvet to comfort her, she got infected with a cold and fever.With slow steady stride, Ann helped Sharon to the guest room and gently place her on the bed to rest her head, and body."I will quickly go get you some drugs that will ease your pains." Ann said and Sharon just nod her head slightly while shivering.Ann hurried out of the guestroom, she went to her room and picked out some drugs from her bag.She dashed out and head to the kitchen, get a glass of water, and rush back to the guestroom.She pushed further into the room and place the drugs and water down. "Let's help you sit up, so you can take your drugs." Ann said, and helped her up.She peeled the drugs out and pass it to her. Sharon gulped down everything and handed Ann the glass of water, before laying back on the bed."Rest for a while, I will quickly get the house chores done and head back."
"Gu san." Sharon said again with a little chuckle, her gaze buried on her palms.John got amazed on how boldly she called his name, and yet she still look shy. He lean close to her and pulled her into his chest, stroking her hair gently with his right hands, while his other hand wrapped around her tiny self, bringing her close him."You should call me your husband from now onwards." He tease, waiting to hear her respond.Sharon forced herself to look up to his burnt face, their gaze locked together with their breath few inches away, still wrapped in his embrace.Even though she would want to call him husband just like he has requested, she couldn't because she's not yet to the age, she's yet to be in the position to do that, she's just seventeen and can't refer him as her husband."When i turn 18 years old and can get married and register, i will call you husband, I'm not close to the age." Sharon mumbled, hoping not to offend him, unbeknownst to her, he was only trying to tease her, n
The next day, Sharon woke up, and slowly adjusted her gaze to the light in the room. She spun to her right, and back to her left, but she did not find John in the room, so she assumed he didn't spend the night in his room.Last night, Ann directed her to his room to pass the night there. Sharon thought she had to sleep with john the whole night. But to her suprise, she spent the whole night alone in his room. John never showed up until she drifted off to sleep.Sharon heaved a sigh, slowly step down from the bed, and made her way into the washroom. Ann had helped her out yesterday, she knows her way round the house, to his washroom and wordrobe, where her clothes and bags was kept.John bought her outfits from one of the biggest mall in the city and he made sure she had enough of everything she needed.She stride into the washroom, pack her hair into a messy bun, strip off her clothes, before putting on the shower.She relaxed and allowed the warm water to cascade down her body, enjoyi

After hidden it from her for the past seventeen year's and today she had to find out like this.It was hard to believe she has been an illegitimate daughter for the past seventeen years, she has lived with them, not knowing the truth. But how they had maltreated her was enough reason for her to believe, she is an illegitimate daughter.The love they showed her, can't be compared to that of Jessie. Jessie is an angel to them, their favourite. She has always been treated with so much love and attention.
