Chapter 30: Forced marriage
In the morning, Jessy was applying my makeup for me, I had to trick Shawn into thinking that everything is okay. I thought about telling him but I knew that Gerald would still do what he wants even if his son disapproved. I didn't want to bet on my friends' lives.
"Thanks, Jessy," I mumbled.
"No problem, I will pray for you, Lily,"
"Thanks, dear,"
I got downstairs to eat breakfast with the man who ruined my life, it wasn't my biological dad nor 18 years old dad but this man particularly who fuckin ruined everything.
"Why didn't you tell me directly, Lily, You agreed to marry me?" Shawn asked.
"Yeah, I would love to, as you said I am attracted to you, also Gerald asked me to so I couldn't disagree," I mentioned.
"That is quite sudden, I am surprised..." Shawn continued.
"I am happy though," he added.
"You shall make sure that you take good care of her," Gerald instructed.
"No worries,"
We finished our

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
Money and pride Chapter 32: Not now
Shawn's POV:She turned red as always, I didn't know whether she was just way too nervous or disappointed. I wanted to make her feel good though so I decided to make a move.Only thin air was separating between both our bodies, she was breathing heavily, her breast was rubbing against mine. She does not know that I am the one who chose her the dress; it does not show much of her skin, well, her skin is mine alone to touch and contemplate.I slid the straps of her dress exposing her white smooth skin, the dress fell to the floor, she was wearing a tight black top and shorts underneath. I lift her up bride-style and placed her body gently on the bed, I was too excited for this. I hopped on the bed as I took off my chemise and unzipped my pants. I glanced at her cute face and spotted her fidgeting her fingers nervously."Hey... Hey... Why are you so nervous?" I asked."I don't want to do this, I really don't...""Why?" I could feel my vo
Money and pride Chapter 33: What's wrong with him?
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
Money and pride Chapter 34: Act of Jealousy
Siergo took his leave and I was all alone with Shawn in Siergo’s office.“Don’t you think you were a little bit rude?” I asked.“I like to be rude, it is fun,” he stated in a childish tone.It is not as if I care anyway, I will ignore him just as he does to me. It seems that he was serious about teaching me though, he was reading the documents seriously and he kept explaining to me several business terms.I need to know what exactly Gerald told him.“What did you decide to help me?”“It is your company, Lily. You should manage it yourself,” he clarified.“It seems that you went against your father decision earlier though,”He converted his look from reading the papers and documents into glaring at me.“Why? Did you think I would listen to my father even if he was at fault?” he retorted.“I didn’t say that…”
Money and pride Chapter 35: Planning
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
Money and pride Chapter 36: His decision
Lily’s POV:Siergo was sipping his tea, he is half-Italian and I could tell that he is so calm and cold by nature. Unlike most Italians, he does not get angry that quickly, on the opposite, his black curls sliding on his eyebrows gave him a gentle look.“You are here, Lily,” he started.“Yeah, we needed to talk,” I was speaking in a bit of an angry tone.“You sure hold grudges, Lily,”“You shouldn’t have talked this way yesterday, Shawn has nothing to do with his father's schemes, I don’t want to drag him into this,” I clarified.“Is that what you think?”“Yes, I am telling you this is between me, you, and Gerald alone,” I repeated.“Are you telling me you didn’t even mention what Gerald did to you to Shawn?”“No,”“Why?” he asked.“As I said I do not wish to troub
Money and pride Chapter 37: Funny time
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
Money and pride Chapter 38: Our night
"I thought that you didn't like me anymore so why are you doing this?" I asked."Who said that I didn't like you?""You were acting cold towards me..." I pointed out."I wouldn't marry someone that easily if I didn't love him very much, silly.""What?""I am saying that I love you, Lily," he confessed.My first reflex was to cover my face with my arms; my heart would not bear anything more.He distanced my arms as he hugged me tightly patting on my back gently."I know you love me back judging from how I can hear your heartbeats this strongly but I need to hear you say it," he purred in my ears."I love you too, I am just afraid that bad things will result from this," I explained."Don't worry about your friends; I have assigned my men to watch over Gerald's men, they will make sure that no harm hit them. Also, I will take care of my dad myself," Shawn clarified in a firm tone that lacked any doubt."Now ca
