Chapter 14: His anger
" Care to explain," Shawn said as he walked up to me causing Jack to crawl behind me.
" Just give me a minute, okay." I requested waiting for him to back away but he didn't.
" Tell him whatever you want, I will keep standing here." he clarified in a dark tone that lacked patience.
I sighed as I looked at Jack and whispered in his ear.
" If you mess with them, I won't be able to guarantee that would keep your life. I know you want me to listen to you, I will if you chose to keep silent about this. I will contact you after you get out of the hospital so don't say anything until then." I instructed lowering my voice as much as I can.
" You promised me, Lily." he barely stuttered.
" Yes, and you know that I keep my words. Don't forget to tell them that you fell from the motorcycle while riding in the forest by some branch or something, You asked me to bring the motorcycle to a repair shop." I continued.
" Okay, I will. Don't hang up with

Shawn was holding me, I tried to fix my position but he was not helpful. He kept staring into my eyes before he viciously attacked my mouth searching for a way in. I gave him permission, as I was feeling emotional at that time; he kept trailing his tongue throughout my mouth exploring every corner.His breath had a sweet taste of chocolate and his hands slid to my butt, he groped my butt pulling me closer to his chest. I felt my insides melting from his touch; his hands were roaming all over my body finding their way to my abdomen, thighs, back, and my nape. His thing was rubbing against my waist as he was holding me even stronger.I flinched when he suddenly fondled my breast, heading to my neckline placing kisses all over my upper body; he sat on his knees licking my abdomen in a very sexy way that dragged me insane. He pulled my thigh in a motion that caused me to fall on his lap, he placed his hand on my nape forcing his way into my mouth as he bit my lips li
Money and pride Chapter 16: Pity
I headed to Gerald's office as always, that man is an alcoholic. I bet that is a life that Shawn definitely does not want to have. His life was very boring for someone that can literally buy anything he wants or go everywhere he wishes. It made me realize that rich people's lives are not always that amusing." I heard that Shawn broke up with his girlfriend. You did a great job." he started while he got up from his desk chair to sit on the couch motioning for me to join him." I only did what I had to do, I want to speak with you regarding Shawn as well. Allow me to speak honestly, sir."" I am all ears, go ahead," he responded." Shawn had made it clear to me the other day that he holds you responsible for his mother's death, I know I am bringing up a sensitive topic here but it's all for a greater purpose. He also did not appreciate how he spent his life growing up and even though he does not find himself at college with younger students. He still

I reached the university, Penny met me at the college's entrance." Why do I keep seeing you without Alicia these days?" I asked." It is not like we are a couple or anything, but... we... can be if you want," he said pointing at both of us." Flirtatious men should all get buried somewhere far away from innocent girls such as me." I sighed." You know that Molly has been staring daggers at you, it has been a while now. Rumors have circulated the whole college stating that Shawn asked to break up with her but she is still not over him yet."" Why do people like to gossip?"" Because it is fun." Penny retorted shrugging his shoulders.I suddenly recalled what happened yesterday and the fact that I wanted to speak with Alicia about the reason why she was wearing sunglasses. Before I entered the class, I quickly turned around rushing to look for her all around the college.I brushed Shawn's shoulder while running in th

I walked steadily towards him as I grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back forcing him to kneel forwards as I hit him on the nape with the other free one. I did not only want to beat him to a pulp, I wanted to humiliate him just as he did to the poor Alicia.He forcefully slipped away from my grip pushing me away with his back. He was so angry; it felt as if he was keen to hurt me as much as I wanted to hurt him. He threw a punch that I dodged and counterattacked with an elbow to his jawline. My move was vicious and deadly, he had no choice but to cover his face backing away.I caused him to trip and kept stomping on his body repeatedly, he was cowering in pain and the madness inside me did not subside. I did not notice that the window behind me was broken as Shawn stepped in and pulled me away from the damaged boy. I tried to push him away but he forced me into a hug.After a few seconds, I gave in and inhaled his scent soothing my angry self. The

The next day soon arose; Shawn insisted that he rides with me so that we would reach college together." I do not understand why did you lie to Alicia regarding our relationship?" I asked as I fixed my position inside the car." The news would have spread sooner or later, we were seen together yesterday. Also, everyone would be wondering about how we were connected. I had to give them an explanation...,” he explained." Why didn't you provide a good explanation then? This one would create a lot of trouble. In addition, it is not true... You have said that you don't want us to be an issue. Why change your mind?"" Cuz it is fun,"This conversation was beginning to give me a headache. I stepped out of the car, today we had an exam and the English debate that we have prepared for this last week. Shawn was walking by my side adjusting his footsteps to my pace. He was even holding my backpack that he managed to steal from me earlier.
Money and pride Chapter 20: Our meeting
I was thinking in my room about what Shawn has said, he seemed to be serious about this marriage and love thing. By saying that I am thinking, it means that I am actually not refusing this idea. My mind keeps changing and my mood is one of the factors that are making me feel uneasy.I decided to clear my mind with someone whom I trust would never spread my secret to anyone. I called no one other than Tony." Are you busy today?" I asked as soon as he picked up." I can always find time for my old client," he replied." Great, meet me at our old spot."I wore high waist jeans and a black tight top. I rolled my hair up in a bun and asked my driver to take me to our meeting location. I lied to Gerald telling him that I am meeting my friends. He did not suspect anything as I took my leave. I missed this neighborhood we are driving in, to be honest, it may be dirty and damp but it will always hold a part in my heart.I took my first p

" Dare to say that again, kiddo?" John started; the only thing that separated between both of them was me who stood in between trying to prevent their clash as much as possible." Aren't I right though... Uhm, if I have to describe your life Johnnie, I would say that it is just miserable." Shawn retorted.It seems that Gerald did not only carry out a background check on me but on all those around me as well. Shawn was playing dirty when he mentioned John's weakness, he did not say it directly but he clearly was talking about his wife who left him taking his kids along with her as she prevented him from ever meeting with him again.John was so absorbed in fighting that he did not care much about his family, when he came to realize who is more important it was just too late. He lost his sole family because of his own mistakes. He had always regretted doing so." That is enough, Shawn. I said let’s go." I repeated in an angry tone now.

I called the paramedics who rushed to the ring, they started checking their conditions. They managed to stop the bleeding of John's mouth and took him out of the ring; they also gave him a light pain relief medication and asked him to rest until he becomes able to stand on his own.I was by Shawn's side, the female paramedic was checking his vital signs, his breathing was unsteady and rough, she started giving him CPR to stimulate his respiration. After a few mouth-to-mouth breathing, Shawn started breathing normally again. He coughed several times before finally getting up, he looked angry as he stared at my face." You deserve it." I started." Heartless..." he uttered.I helped him up leading him to the dressing room where John was also resting. John laughed as soon as he spotted Shawn; he stood up and grabbed Shawn by the collar." I did not know that fighting with you would be that much fun, you are a fine man, kid," he said.John's tru
