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.
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
I woke up, Jessy was by my side, she was opening the curtains and cleaning the room." Good morning, Jessy," I said and she flinched upon hearing my voice." Good morning, Lily." She replied shyly." Why are you up this early?" I asked." I wanted to choose your outfit for the day... "Jessy wanted to become a fashion designer, that was her dream so I let her choose my clothes when she had time. She also showed me her designs and I was fascinated by her work, she is an orphan and she can't afford to go to college though. She works here and here is also where she lives." Okay, what do you have for me today?"" How about this dress? You don't wear dresses at all, why?"" They don't suit me, also I needed to be ready for any emergency that requires me to run away, a dress is so unconventional," I explained." I didn't know that is how you lived your life,"" I didn't have it easy as well," I
" What are you doing? Hop in..." Shawn ordered.I opened the door's car and sat by his side still confused about the plate's number I saw." I bet dad will speak to you regarding the contract, Lily. I have already informed him that I will go back to work."" You did?" I answered him absent-mindedly." Yeah, I did. What are you thinking hard about?" he asked.I ignored his question, as I was so deep in thoughts, now that I came across a lead, I will have to check it for myself." Why do you have 4 cars in the garage though, aren't two enough?" I asked Shawn who was focused on driving now." One for me, one for dad, one extra and the fourth one is our uncle's." He started." I never saw your uncle in the mansion so why does he keep his car in your garage?"" He died, dad didn't want to sell his car or throw it away so we kept it in the garage."" When did he die?"" A month ago, why do I feel that
