“I’ll trust your judgment, Mr. Donnelly.” Sunny conceded. “However, I do not think she stops us from having our meeting. The walls of your mansion are soundproof. We can just discuss in your study.” If Sunny didn't have a lion tattooed on his entire left arm, Shawn would have had no problem with that. “It would be weird to see me with you. Don't get me wrong but you know you have that gangster look.” He said.Sunny chuckled, not picking an offense. “I do understand you, Mr. Donnelly. To beat your fears, I’ll dress up like an office man. That should help, right?”Shawn wanted to tell Sunny that his gangster appearance stretched beyond clothes. There just was this aura about him. His looks, nothing seemed reserved. However, “Good, Sunny. That's good. The day after tomorrow then. I am very eager about whatever your plan is. You coming in the morning or evening?”“Depends on the level of your curiosity.” Sunny threw the decision ball at him.“I can hold on just fine. Let's meet after wor
As Shawn stepped into his office at the company, a strange sense of calmness enveloped him. Everything appeared as it should—no signs of unexpected trouble or looming issues. His office was also intact. Phew!Surprisingly, this brought him an unexpected wave of relief. He hadn't realized how much the anticipation of facing more challenges had been weighing on him.When Gina welcomed him with a smile, he merely waved at her and just walked in. Sunny’s words had also been taking effect on him. He was this cold and distant towards Landers too.The thought that any of them could have been betraying him did not permit for him to be able to treat them as he used to. The moment he entered the office, he phoned Sunny.“Mr. Donnelly. I was also about to call you but it seems you always beat me to it.” Sunny remarked.It was funny how he had begun to talk to Sunny even more than the other close people in his life these days.“Have you begun to investigate the hotel?” Not in the mood for misce
CALISTA [SERENITY]~~When Shawn left after I sent him off to work, instinct told me to sneak after him. And thus, I slightly parted the door, watched out for him, and quietly snuck behind him until he disappeared behind a door.I stood behind it, hoping to eavesdrop on whatever it was he’d be doing or whoever he’d be speaking to but to hell with his walls. They were soundproof.I ended up hearing nothing. However, there was one thing I came to find out though; Shawn spends a lot of him behind that door. I wondered what was in that room.I’d check it out later.I moved away from the door and had barely taken five steps when I noticed a maid standing just outside the corridor, arranging some flowers in a vase. Her name tag read ‘Elena.’And Elena, she had a big fat frown on her face. Damn. I had been careless.“Excuse me, miss," Elena said softly, catching my attention. "I couldn't help but notice you were near Mr. Donnelly's study. Is there something I can assist you with?"Caught off
I raked my head for an excuse that wouldn't cause me to lie to Gabe. “Oh, you know Brielle. Probably busy with her school thingy. I too haven't spoken to her in two days but then again, I haven't exactly been glued to my phone.”Sorry, Gabe. I just couldn't tell you this. Brielle’s heart was burning for love with you. Although, avoiding them wasn't a way to accommodate a person you love, was it?BRIELLE!To my surprise, Gabe didn't press any further. “I’ll try to catch her myself then.”A wave of relief washed over me. I didn't want to be the collateral damage in this. Getting cut between Brielle and Gabe was the last thing I wanted.Instantly, I proceeded to fill him in on everything new that had happened even down to Shawn spending so much time in his study and his absence today.“Oh, is that it?” Gabe clicked his tongue. “I guess you have all the time to begin the search tonight then.” He said.“I know, Gabe. But I don't know when he’ll return and I can't risk getting caught.” I rea
SHAWN DONNELLY~~His jaw slacked at the sight in front of him. He should have known Sage. She’d always come with dramas.“What are you looking at? Come on in!” She waved the cocktail glass in her hand.Shawn exhaled visibly, bracing himself for whatever corny plans this woman had in store for him. “Stop being so dramatic!” She hissed, moving closer to the door.There was no way Shawn was going to let her come out looking like that. Nor was he going to allow her to hug him half-naked. He rushed into the room, shutting the door behind him.“I thought we were going to discuss business, Sage. What's this?” He asked, a frown creeping on his face.Sage placed her hands on her hips. “And who said we weren't? What are you thinking about, Shawn? Just come sit with me and let's negotiate.” She threw her hands in the air, swaying her hips left and right as she walked to the bed.Shawn groaned, watching the movements of her buttocks. She was deliberately doing it. He rolled his eyes and moved f
Sage raped him.Men could be raped too. Worse, she had it filmed. This felt like karma stabbing in straight in broad daylight. He’d done the same to Calista and now, it was his turn for nemesis.Whatever Sage would want to do with this clip though?His phone beeped as she rode on top of him, moaning like the bitch that she was. “Ahh…” She rasped like a dog. “That’s your man, isn't it?”He couldn't talk. No matter how much he tried, he could only move his eyelids and nothing more. Not even his tongue. His cell phone continued to buzz inside the pocket of his jacket that now lay on the floor. Reluctantly, Sage pulled herself out of him and went to get it.Shawn, who had been previously happy that Sunny would burst in after soon got the disappointment of his life. Sage pressed the green button and began to moan on the phone.“Oh, Shawn! Drop the phone. Damn — hit me harder!” She slapped her lap repeatedly, making sex sounds. “Yes, yes, harder!” She moaned relentlessly until the call en
Sunny arrived and Shawn got down to business. He omitted the part where Sage had raped him as that was probably the most embarrassing thing he’d been subjected to. How could he tell a fellow man that he was raped by a woman! “I had to leave since I called and saw that you were having fun with her.” Sunny, oblivious to Shawn’s plight said.Fun? Sunny had no idea.Shawn simply nodded, trying hard to mask his disgust at the mention of Sage. “She didn't tell me anything about Justin Xane but she did tell me that Gina is the mole.” He informed.“Gina?” Sunny raised a brow. “Who is that?”“My Secretary.” Sunny squinted his eyes, calculating. “And how would she have known this?”“That is the question I've also been asking myself. Sage is crazy and her words cannot be trusted.” He replied.“How did she know there is a spy anyway? If she hadn't been keeping tabs on you or working for those who sent the spy originally.” Sunny reasoned.That was correct. Why didn't he think of that? How had Sa
When Shawn got to the reception, he halted in front of Gina.“Good morning, sir!” She vibrantly greeted as always.Shawn smiled at her. “Morning, Gina.” He responded. He proceeded to pretend to be on a call. “Yes. The money is safe with me. The trailers are on their way….” He stole a glance at her and caught her watching him but the moment his eyes trailed at her, she withdrew her gaze.He smirked. It was typical of Gina to poke her nose though. It was when she didn't that’d be worse actually.“Bye. Nothing can happen to those trailers and nothing will. Thanks, bye.” He said into the phone and pretended to hang up.One last time, he glanced at Gina with a cheesy grin on his face. It sure did make her uncomfortable but Shawn didn't mind. He strode into his office, happy to find it intact.Instantly, he slipped into his chair. “Tomorrow will determine if I’ll meet my office as well in place as this.” He muttered to himself as he dived into the heap of paperwork in front of him.He had
