Shane’s POV

She gazed at me, her eyes shining, the present crushed close to her bosom, holding it like a precious doll.

She has no idea what her smile did to me. I wasn't supposed to feel this way for her, but I did.

The guards and maids left the room, giving us our moment. I hope she loved the present.

I put my hand out and drew her into a hug before I even had time to reconsider it. Her little gasp into my chest had my stomach flipping with butterflies. My hand rested on the back of her head, holding her close, not wanting to release her yet.

“You should go change,” I said, inhaling the subtle fragrance of her shampoo. “I’m taking you out on a date.”

She drew away, eyes wide. “Out? Like…out, out?”

A small laugh got out of me before I could help it. “Yes, out, out,” I teased, flicking a hair back from her face. “It’s your birthday. Let me spoil you today.”

  • The Billionaires Game    Chapter 48

    Shane's POVTwo Weeks Later:It was the weekend and we were having dinner. Meredith and Dwayne were seated and everything was going fine.I swallowed my food, eating my mashed potatoes while Meredith laughed. It annoyed the crap out of me. Dad acted like nothing was wrong and kept talking.They weren't even trying to hide it or show remorse since I caught them. I watched them talking and laughing like lovers while mom third wheeled.My blood boiled as I heard Dad crack stupid jokes and Dwayne responding to them with even more stupid jokes.I picked the chicken angrily and began slicing on my plate. It didn't cut, pushing me over the edge and I grabbed it and bit hard into it tearing the flesh.“Yo, man. Easy will ya? The chicken's not running,” Dwayne joked.Everyone laughed but I didn't find it funny. “I'm hungry,” I said with a full mouth.“Darling, don't talk with food in your mouth. You're going to choke,” Mom cautioned.I nodded. Dad noticed my gaze and he blinked, looking away t

    Shane's POV“Enough! Stop it! Goddamn it!” He yelled. He rubbed his hands on his face and breathed. “Look, I'm sorry alright. I didn't mean for this to happen.”“Yeah, right. You didn't,” I answered. “How long has this been going on?”“That's not really important,” he said.“How long? Or I swear to God I am calling Mom right now and telling her!”He breathed calmly and kept quiet. I nodded, understanding perfectly why he was speechless.He had been doing it for years. Right behind our backs.“Fuck you,” I said in the coldest tone and walked out.“Shane,” he called, walking after me. “Shane!”“Go to hell!” I retorted and kept walking, running out of the house and into the street.I didn't care, didn't stop and kept moving, holding back the tears as the anger swelled up inside me.My world was falling apart and I didn't know how to stop it. I got to school before the first bell rang, huffing and puffing.I ran to the restroom and washed my face. I practice my emotions trying not to let

    Shane's POVThe next morning, I was up and quiet. I didn't ask and knew there was a fight. I couldn't understand why Mom was still with him.I found out mom had been fined when I saw the tickets in the trash can while helping her take out the used vegetables.Breakfast was quiet as usual and we were back to acting normal in no time. Dad's business grew and he became busy. I couldn't have been happier but Mom also started to have less time in the house.My dinner went from a home cooked meal to pizza orders but I didn't complain. Meredith helped out, coming over to cook. Dad seemed to praise her more and smirks a lot when she was around.That was barely a luxury when he was with Mom. I felt suspicious at first, the jealousy eating me whole until I found it pointless and gave up.She had only treated me nicely and I was ashamed I had thought of her like that.Meredith also helped with the orders and Mom delivered them. Soon, the sleepovers were at my house while our parents worked.We w

I didn't know if they knew I could hear them.Then another, with mom screaming. “Matthew, stop it.”The crashing sound continued scaring me and for every second I felt myself jerk as something else hit the floor.“Do you think you can two time me, you bitch!” He yelled. “Who are you sleeping with?”“Matt. You're being unreasonable. I didn't sleep with anyone. I was over at the new neighbors house,” she answered.“Liar!” He shouted and next u heard her choking.“Matt…Matt, p..please, stop. You're…”I didn't hold back anymore. Something was wrong with Mom and I had to go help her. I opened the door, rushed out of my room, running through the stairs and almost falling. I did fall, rolling down the three last stairs and crashing to the floor.I groaned, slowly rising and mom's eyes bulged as she saw me. Dad's hands were on her neck and he was squeezing hard. Her face had turned red and he

    Shane's POVI didn't know if it was right telling her about it. But her eager eyes urged me on. Yet, it felt like I was sharing a bit too much.“What?” She asked, looking shocked. “Nah, that's not true.”I looked at her, dead in the eyes and answered. “Yes, it is.”“Oh, boy,” she muttered.My eyes narrowed as memories started to flood back in.She looked at me again and blinked, each second telling me that she wanted to know how.“It's a boring story, really,” I said.“I want to hear it,” she answered.“Okay,” I said and began rolling the curtains of my mind to some years back.To The Past:I was five watching cartoon on the television when the door slammed shut. It was Dad, he was back stumbling because he was drunk.This had become normal ever since he lost his job a week ago and I didn't understand why he was being silly.“Matthew!” Mom yelled calmly. “Why are you doing this to yourself?”He groaned, turning to his side avoiding her as if she were a leech.“You're hurting yourself

    Lucy’s POV“Jesus,” I gasped watching Dwayne's head snap back.“Ow,” he groaned, covering his nose. When he dropped his hands, I saw the blood flowing from his nose and dripping to his lip. Xandra's glass fell from her hand, shattering on the floor as she yelped and stepped back in fright. The restaurant became quiet so fast I could hear the devil coming. Dwayne threw a punch but missed, and Shane retaliated with another hit on his face sending him spinning. Some other men had stepped in to pull him away from Dwayne. “Stop it!” I screamed, and ran towards him, grabbing his arm before he could swing again.I had never seen him this angry before and it scared the shit out of me. His eyes showed every bit of rage and I looked around, noticing some people pull out their phones, recording and talking. Oh no. This was going to make it to the news. Shane tried to hit him again as Dwayne laughed, revealing his bloodied teeth and I stepped in front of him. He stopped, as he saw me. “Pl
