Chapter 25: The truth
It was 6 o'clock now and I rushed to Gerald's office after taking a shower and changing into casual clothes.
" May I come in?" I asked.
" Yes," he replied.
" How can I help you, Lily?"
" I need to meet with my dad," I started.
" I know I may sound weird but I kind of need to check upon him. I am afraid he might die alone somewhere dark and damp." I continued.
" What a good kid you are, Lily. You may go, my men would accompany you as always. God may bless you, take care."
I nodded in agreement, as I took my leave, stepping into the car I recalled the reason why I did not ask him to sign the contract of my freedom earlier. I was afraid that an issue would arise from my demand and he would lock me up, I guess I already lost my trust in him. I wanted to know some facts before I start taking action.
The driver announced that we have reached our destination; I stepped out of the car and made sure that I wasn't being follo

I watched Dad as he went to sleep and then I left myself. I should not be saying the word dad now but I still I am used to it, it is not worth it to try to change his title. I do not know why but for some reason, I felt bad about myself. I was a burden on dad's shoulders my whole life.I brushed this idea off as I stepped out of the car and went up to my room, now I know for sure that Shawn's uncle is somehow involved with my father, also, Gerald clearly has an ulterior motive." Jessy, is Gerald still awake?" I asked." Yes, miss," Jessy called me 'miss' since we were outside of my room and her words might be heard. Gerald is a fan of hierarchy which suits his status well." Did you finish your visit?" Gerald questioned as he saw me entering his office. He was typing on his laptop and immersed in his work." Yes thankfully, Should I come back later?"" No, I probably know what you want to talk about, I do not want to procrastinate this any
Money and pride Chapter 27: Mr. Siergo
After college and as planned, I headed to ChemiPharma, I asked the taxi driver to drive me through a lot of places making sure that no car is trailing me. I bet that Gerald was sincere when he said that he would not keep an eye on me which is good.I was standing in front of the company that overwhelmed the whole street, it was too large that it covered the buildings across from it from Sun rays. I was wearing a light brown wig, a black dress, and sunglasses. I can't say that it is quite a disguise but at least if I manage to avoid CCTVs then no one would tell it is me.I wanted to get some information; I headed to the staff room where cleaners gathered." I bet it was a tough day, guys," I initiated which attracted their attention, it was their meal break and I bet they will need the coffee I brought them.I started giving them their coffee." Who are you?" a male cleaner wondered." My mom work here, she cleans the last f

" You are aware that you are restricting my movement, right? If I screamed, everyone would point at you negatively so why don't you let me leave now while I am asking gently." I started." I can ask them all to leave right this moment, this restaurant is mine you see, also I would like to hear your screams," he smirked." I just want to know why were you asking around about the CEO, what is your goal?" he added.I have to come up with an excuse if I want to get out of this situation." I Love you," I shouted covering my face with both my hands acting shyly." I am sorry I acted this suspiciously causing you to misunderstand my pure-hearted intention. I can be stupid at times." I giggled still covering my face." Ha-Ha... You are so funny."He laughed for a while which made me feel at ease." Do you think, I would believe that?"This is not working... The waiter soon came back with a new dish also serving Sergio's meal an

"It is as you are speculating young one, I am the one who was meeting with your mom, Indigo never knew he had a daughter until recently," Gerald declared as he called one of his men."Kill him," he growled."Kill who? What are you saying?” I yelled as I grabbed his collar."Kill fuckin who?" I repeated."You don't need him anyway, let us start with the people that you don't need first.." he continued.Did he mean my dad? Jack? Who the fuckin does he mean?"No don't just don't please..." I begged."I have to prove to you that I am not just throwing empty threats..." he explained."I know so stop, I know..." I cried, he was getting on my nerves playing with my head.I do not wish to be the reason for anyone's death, let me play along with him until I decide what I should do..."The first on the list is Jack and your dad in case you were thinking about escaping, within 12 hours if you didn't come back, it
Money and pride 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
Money and pride Chapter 31: Confused
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
