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,"

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…”

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

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

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 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

I grabbed the envelope and started uncovering its content, there were a lot of images taken of me and Shawn sitting in the bar yesterday and talking in the car, the windows were foamed so there were no plus eighteen photos but the reason why we stopped for three hours and remained in the car was pretty evident."I expected that my son seeks pleasure from you but why did he waste his time and meet with your friends?" Gerald asked with contempt filling his voice.I seriously wish to hit him in the face right here and right now but miserably I can't."He wanted to meet with my friends..." I stated the obvious boldly."Lily, you must not understand what I am trying to imply here so let me speak more honestly. I was clear when I informed you that you would be disposable in no time, I don't want my son to get attached with these empty feelings that he has for you..."Did he think that our relationship would keep on deteriorating because I definitely thou

I was in the airport waiting for my flight to arrive, it was 6 pm and I bet Shawn would be going back home by now. I wonder what would his reaction be when he reads my letter. An hour has passed; I got on board and leaned in my seat as I grabbed tightly my small backpack.I never had a lot of belongings and it seems that I will never have, I am going to a new country where I know no one there. All alone, I am supposed to cope with the environment and succeed in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I kept thinking of Shawn all the ride long, as I reached France, Paris; I checked my account to find a million in cash in my bank account.I guess Gerald wanted me to never come back for real, it is not like I thought he wouldn't but it just hurts me whenever I think of that old geezer and how he managed to ruin my life.I unpacked in an apartment that I have rented until I find a nicer permanent home. The room was clean and that all I needed, I was not picky,
