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 bow his head in respect immediately he was down and quietly trail behind him.
"Boss." Vincent called out to him, and he halt, then he continued. " Should I block the news from the chairman?" Vincent asked.
"That won't be necessary, I want you to check Sharon's profile and see the kind of man she likes, make sure you get back to me within twenty-four hours." John ordered in an authoritative tone.
"Yes boss." He nodded and continue trailing behind John.
They stride into the mansion to find Mr GU in the living room engrossed in a live news he was watching.
"Hello father, Good day." John greeted with a tight-lipped smile and stride towards him.
Mr GU turned to look at him with a warm smile on his face, and pulled him into a fatherly hug, before he sat down next to him.
"Son, how are you today?" He asked.
"I'm fine, father, I came regarding those clients you told me about, I was going to wait until tomorrow, but I decided to come over." John breath out and relaxed his back on the couch, both his legs crossed.
Mr GU raised his brows trying to remember what they talked about. "Oh yes, the client's from Italy…." He was cut off.
The sound of a breaking news got his attention, and he quickly diverted his gaze from his son to the screen.
Sharon's interview from earlier was a trending news, the headline for today's news in the entire City.
He watched the interview attentively, amazement wash through him, he has never seen someone defend his son whenever he is being ridiculed, talk more of a lady.
Because of his illness and disfigurement, most ladies look at him with disdain, but not that he ever cared.
His son is someone who's ruthless and horrible even with his disfigurement, he never cared about anyone or anything.
He turned to his son with a smile, and at that moment he liked Sharon instantly.
"Where is she? Why didn't you tell me about this?" He asked his son and turn to the bodyguards in the house. "All of you, quickly go get her and take her back to the villa." His authoritative tone echoed in the room.
All the guards in the living room scamper out of the mansion and head out, then he turned back to his son.
"You should head back home now, you have to be there when she returns." Mr GU said to his son, with a smile etched on his face.
He has found a daughter-in-law, and he would do anything to keep her, he thought.
"Okay father." John responded without protesting and exited the mansion.
An hour later, Sharon was taken back to the villa by Ann, the housekeeper.
Ann is John's housekeeper, she has been working for him since before he had an accident and got disfigured, she's not scared of him.
Ann led Sharon to the villa, even though Sharon was terrified. With slow steady stride, Sharon trails behind Ann while they stride into the villa, her fear was seeing johns, disfigured face.
They stride into the living room, and Ann offered Sharon a seat.
"Wait here, let me go and prepare you a tea and snacks." Ann said and set to march on her heels, but Sharon stopped her.
She held her hands in hers and gulped, then mustered the courage to speak. "Did you say Mr GU, I mean the chairman asked to bring me back to the villa?" She asked with a clench toe.
Ann flash her a small smile and nod her head.
"Yes, the chairman asks to bring you back to the villa, now wait here I will quickly get you a tea, I will be right back."
Before Sharon could utter another word, Ann was already out of sight.
Sharon was scared of meeting the chairman, she thought she was going to have dinner with him, that was why he asked to bring her back to the villa.
And the thought of it made her want to cry in her heart. She has also heard rumor about him, how cold-hearted and powerful he is.
She snuggled her small self close to the couch and waited for Ann to return.
Minutes later, Ann came back with some snacks and a cup of tea and place it on a stool beside her.
"Here, have these while you wait for the boss, I'm sure the boss is on his way back home." Ann informed her, and blink her eyes.
She shuddered at the mention of his name, but quickly calmed her nerves. Ann excused herself and exited the villa.
A few minutes later, she heard footsteps, and fixated her gaze on the door. She came into view with Ann striding into the living room.
"The Boss is back." Ann said in excitement.
Sharon quickly stood up and hit her leg on the table, which made her stumble to the ground.
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
Jessie is skeptical about marrying David, due to the rank in status. The last thing she wants to happen, is seing Sharon superior to her.Jessie like leaving an extravagant life full of nothing but lies, and pretence.

Sharon stood by the road side waiting to hail a cab. She felt depressed and lonely. 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. But for Sharon the story has been different, she doesn't even have the right to feel bad, she can't even blame anyone for what has been happening to her.'I always did as instructed, i even sacrifice my happiness for them to be happy, but that wasn't enough. What else could i have done to be loved?' Sharon thought inwardly.She forced herself to pushed the thought aside. She hailed a cab to a dessert shop
John watch her in amazement, his attention wasn't with the audience, but with the tiny seventeen year's old figure in front of him, standing confidently facing the audience. Ever since he met her, she has done nothing than to protect his image, and slowly, gradually, he is falling in love with her.Something he had never thought would ever happen, an unexpected love he had never imagined with a seventeen year's old girl. He never thought he would find love, not after being ugly, he had always thought he will remain single because of his appearance. But unbeknownst to the public there is something he is hiding.Everything was supposed to be an arranged marriage with her family, but slowly thing's are changing between the both of them, which wasn't as planned.At that moment he felt they were the only ones standing there, everyone is invisible. He look at the warmth in her heart, and how boldly she stood up to defend him.No one has ever stood up for him, not even his brother, it has alw
John held Sharon's hand, and led her to his car, without taking a glance at the child's mother. The apology was enough, there was no point wasting his precious time at the dessert shop, when he had other imperative work that needed his attention.He followed Sharon because of how he saw her leaving her house, and now that she's cheered up, he's leaving.He acted like a gentleman, and opened the door for her to get into the car.Vincent had told him this was also one of the attributes Sharon likes in a man, and for him to win her heart, he needed to act like one.John had no problem with doing such things to please her, he is willing to make her his wife, for that reason, he has no problem doing all that. But will Sharon accept him if she finds out he's not the good man she has always dreamt to have? The rumor of him being cruel turns out to be true, will she be willing to stay with him?Sharon was overwhelmed with happiness, seeing him open the car door for her. "Thank you." She mumble
