Chapter 46: Trump card
Shawn's POV:
I asked the same prosecutors I threatened to get my dad in prison to release him, I felt humiliated when I did so. I was so angry that I kept imagining killing my dad; I wanted to practice the scene in my head. I waited for him to get out of prison; he eventually appeared from behind the gate.
"I can tell from your face that you can't even wait to go elsewhere, you can shoot me here if you want," he ridiculed.
"Get in the car," I ordered.
I was taking him to the nearest excluded place which was the warehouse across the prison, we accessed it and I parked my car. Just when I was ready to shoot him, a lot of bodyguards came in running towards me, I didn't give a shit about it and still aimed at my father. To my surprise, he was carrying a gun himself.
How did he get a gun? How did he even contact his men in prison when he can only contact one person a day and that was me, I wondered.
"You must be perplexed by now, I was rel

He ordered his men to bring Siergo to his feet so he would be punished respectively.Shawn waited in the hall for us after he ordered Jack to go back home, I informed my brother about how dad was pressured and that the only reason he treated us badly was because; I am illegitimate and Kenny always took his mother's side even though she betrayed him.I kept convincing him that we have to be by his side on his death bed. Eventually, he gave in to my exasperation and agreed to check up on him with me. We both entered his room, dad was arguing with the doctor to let him leave but the doctor refused."I am telling you, I do not care whether I live or die just let me go," he yelled."Why don't you care?" Shawn replied, he o
Money and pride Chapter 48: The end
After half a year.The rain was pouring heavily; I was standing between Kenny and Shawn holding a sad expression on our faces. The weather was sharing my sorrow and my heart was heavier than ever. I was trying to not cry but as usual, I ended up wetting the ground beneath me. I never thought that I would be this distressed over my father's death since I always wished for it.In the last six months, Kenny and I invested a lot of time for dad, we were spending most of our time together as if we were compensating for our previous years. We wanted to relive an experience that we wished for when we were kids. The German doctor could not realize the impossible, it was already known that dad would die and that is exactly what happened.After the funeral, Shawn asked all the attendants who were all from my side to come and spend the night in the mansion.

Let me speak with you for a little bit about my life. I am Lily Anderson, daughter of the neighborhood gambler. I came from a poor family and I have a single older brother, my mom breaks my heart whenever I am reminded of her. She died from hunger; dad preferred to sleep with a prostitute instead of feeding her.I was 13 years old when I witnessed my mom's death, she refused to eat the food I brought her and insisted that dying would just be better, I begged her to reconsider as I didn't want to lose the only reason why I continue living. She did not listen to me nor care about me at all but I do not blame her for leaving me behind, after all, no human would want to live this way.
Money and pride Chapter 2: Meeting him
I was sitting in the man's office, he ordered the maid to bring me a minted tea and I drank it slowly waiting for him to start speaking. A man entered the room and handed a document over to my kidnapper." Take this contract and read it carefully." he started.I took the file from his hand and started reading. My eyes grew wider by every written word, what is this bullshit? He wanted me to monitor his son while going to the same college as his and also push him to focus more
Money and pride Chapter 3: Weird attitude
I was starting to lose my breath and I needed oxygen more than anything now. I gathered all my power and kicked his chest with my leg, which pushed him to take a step back. I was breathing heavily sitting on the ground with my hands placed on my neck glaring at him.He was fascinated but also irritated by my vicious attitude, which caught his attention. He glared at me from above and walked away as if he found satisfaction from looking down on me while I was trying hard to regain my breath. Fuck him, who does he think he is?
Money and pride Chapter 4: An opportunity
I got down but found out that they had already finished eating; the cook gave me a toast to eat in the car since I would be late if I sat down and ate in the kitchen. I was sitting in the car, it is the first time that someone ever drives me somewhere and I have to say that it was a nice experience.The driver opened the car's door and I stepped out, the college was huge, I heard about its name before but it is my first time seeing it. My friends from my old college called me when I was passing the college's gate." Hey, Lily. Where are you, it is already past 7, the first section will start soon." Diana, my childhood friend stated." I won’t go for a while. I will meet with ya soon, we will talk then."" Okay."I doubted for some reason that my mobile could be hacked, I had that feeling and I did not want to risk saying something I should not have that would reach Gerald's ears. It seems that he hit the maid just to force me into
Money and pride Chapter 5: His touch
There was a gap before the next prof enters so we took the chance and started choosing our topic for the debate. We gathered all 10 to choose a suitable one." What do you think of animal testing? It suits our field and it is a major topic." Alicia stated."No, I would hate the opposite group if they chose to be with animal testing," Penny said." Who told you that your own group would even be against it?" George joked." No, just choose something else for god's sake, I will cry a river if you chose that one," Penny argued." What about; gambling should be illegal." Shawn proposed. The word 'gambling' rang through my ear, which could not be a mere chance. I bet his dad already told him about how I got here. What a fuckin asshole!" I agree, I agree," Molly said and it was obvious that she only agreed because it was Shawn's idea." I don't mind." George and Alicia replied and we ended up choosing that topic." Our group wo
Money and pride Chapter 6: Ugly memory
As soon as his head got too close to mine, I head-butted the bridge of his nose which caused him to raise his head placing his hands on his nose as it probably stings by now, I quickly passed by him and got out of the room. " You know this is your room, right? You will eventually come back." He shouted. I decided to go speak with Gerald to see for myself what is he talking about. I headed to his office and knocked on his door, he granted me permission to go in and I stepped into the office then sat on the armchair facing Gerald who was immersed in some papers. " What do you need?" He asked coldly as he pushed the papers aside to focus on our conversation. I had a lot to ask but facing him like that made me forgot what I wanted to say, his aura is so dominating. I have to be careful from now on when dealing with him and choose my words carefully. " I heard that you might want to marry me off to your son," I stated honestly. " So?"
