Shaun's POVI sighed in frustration as I leaned back on the couch, staring at Luca like he was the cause of my problems when in real sense, he wasn't.“How does buying a school benefit me?"“To think of it, your father is right. It will get the police off your back. The Marco family has had a clean record with the police until the act you pulled off recently""So buying a damn school takes them off my back?““It gives them the impression that your motive is clean"“And buying a school doesn't mean you have to be the owner" I turned to look at my brother, Pablo as he walked down the stairs to the sitting room."I feel exhausted by even thinking about it”"see it as Dad's way of saving your ass,” he said, walking towards the wine stand to get a drink."I don't fucking need that” "You are so impossible”"For all I know, Francesco should be the one heading all this"“You want to quit?" “I didn't say that"“Anyway" Pablo filled his cup halfway with wine and turned to look at me. “Frances
Lindsay POV.“What were you doing at that school's meeting today?". Shaun asked the moment he opened the door for me to get in. He didn't even notice how much I dressed up for him. I even had to risk getting caught by Asher. If I hadn't been smart enough to slip away without him noticing, I would have been more than dead. “Well, it's nice to meet you too Shaun," I said in sarcasm as I walked inside the house fully. “I was dropping off my sister's child and I had to stay for the meeting"I had to lie. Saying the truth was not an option.“I was surprised when I saw you"“Don't you own jexs? What do you need the school for".“It's complicated" With the way, his face changed when he said those words, I could tell he was annoyed. He settled on one of the couches and I sat down next to him. “You look tired" “And frustrated" he sighed, leaning his head on the edge of the couch “I feel suffocated. It's as if everyone is looking up to me not to mess things up, but that's so hard”"It can't
LindsayThe way he slept peacefully warmed my heart. Staring at him was something I couldn't get tired of. His full lashes, his angelic face, and his full lips were all so inviting. I couldn't resist the urge. I ran my finger on his lips, biting my lips as I felt the softness of his.I wanted to take his lips in mine, but at the same time, I didn't want him to wake up. I just wanted to stay there and continue admiring such a fine work of perfection.“How long are you going to do that?" he flung his eyes and my soul leaped out of my body.I smacked him on the chest. “Don't do that" I scowled at him and he laughed. “How long have you been awake?"“When I felt you move"“Come on" I scoffed. “You can't be that observative"“Unfortunately for you, I am. And why were you staring at me?"He asked and I rolled my eyes as I turned my face to the other side. He knew why I was, he just wanted me to say it.“Lindsay" he called out and I looked at him once more, but he turned my face back to where
LindsayOne kiss on my neck and I was gone. I closed my eyes as I savored the moment. Shaun was at the back, planting kisses on my body while the water from the shower caressed both our skin.He whispered in my ears. “Are you sore?" He asked and I shook my head even though I was a little bit sore from the sex we had not too long ago.“good. Prepare yourself, you will get sore after this. I'll make sure of that” he said and I giggled."Is that a threat?”"No, just a good way of marking my own” as he said those words, his hand slipped into my cunt and I sucked in air.He turned me around to look at him as he fingered my cunt. He inserted the second finger and then the third, stretching out my hole real good."Look at me Lindsay” he ordered and I looked at him."I like honesty and transparency when I'm working with people,” he said those words while he fingered me silly. I was losing my mind at the same time, I tried to process what he meant."Wh.. what Is that supposed to mean?” I stutt
Shaun's POVThat didn't look like an injury someone would get from a fall. She just lied to me in my face. I had punched a lot of people and that looked like a really hard one.I felt a sting in my heart. I also felt furious that someone would dare lay their hands on her. I just needed the truth from her and the person was going to go down, but she didn't want to let it out.As I gazed at her, I realized, I didn't even know anything about her. She was like a mystery that came into my life out of nowhere. Her eyes held a lot of pain each time I looked at them, but she didn't want to spill them out.I didn't know where she lived. I noticed how much she panicked each time I brought up the idea of dropping her off. I realized the only thing I knew was where she was from. I wanted to know more about her. It was selfish to think that way because she also didn't know anything about me and I wasn't ready to let in on the dark details of my life.I wanted her to stay with me. If possible even
LINDSAY.“Asher?" I called out softly to Asher who lay next to me on the bed. It had been a long day and we ought to be sleeping but we weren't. Asher was awake which was so unlikely.He turned to look at me and I began. “Why do you hit me all the time?" I asked as my heartbeat quickened. I had never asked him a question like that before. All I wanted to know was why he repeatedly assaulted me, and always found a way of apologizing. To me, that was retarded.He peeled his eyes off me and landed them on the ceiling. He didn't say anything for almost a minute. I was pretty sure he was looking for what to say.“You make you do it" he finally spoke after some time.“Do you love me?" I asked, wanting to hear him say no. If he said it, that way, I would know he hated me and I wouldn't have to question his actions again.“Yes, I do. I love you, Lindsay." My heart sank when I heard him say those words. He sounded sure, so I couldn't decipher if he was lying or not. Was this his idea of love?
ASHER'S POV“The point of all this is to keep the police off our backs. Why are you doing the opposite!" I banged my fist on the table, staring at Dante who shivered in fear. I had that irresistible urge to gouge his eyes out of its socket and watch him scream in pain.“B... Bu... But it's risky to do that boss" he stuttered as sweat dripped from his face.“But nothing. Do what you are asked. Nothing more, nothing less. It can't be so hard shipping the drugs over"“Yes boss" he bowed his head as he shuddered in fear. I couldn't blame him for that. I did have a gun in my hands, pointed directly at him and he knew I was going to rain down bullets on him if he continued pissing me off.I raised my hand, gesturing to him to leave, but before he could get to the door, I stopped him.“One more thing, when the sales are over, you hand me 30%," I said and watched as his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.“What will I do with the remaining 70?"A satisfied smile appeared on my face as I leaned on
Asher's POV“How much for that?" I point at the red roses sitting on the counter at the checkout spot of the mall.“A customer left it there. The section is..."She pointed at an aisle. “Over there"“Well, I want this one" it was for Lindsay. Red was her favorite color, so she was most definitely going to love it.“Okay," she shrugged. “That's 7$ sir" she mumbled looking at the machine in front of her. “But Are you sure you want this one? there are tons to pick from" she asked and her nosiness pissed me off. When she realized I didn't find her questions amusing, she sighed and continued bagging all the things I bought.I left early from work that day. I wanted to make it special for Lindsay. I had realized I hadn't done anything spectacular for her for 7 years and I decided to make it up to her by surprising her. It was our Marriage anniversary today after allThere was a chance of her ruining it. It was so Lindsay to ruin things. She had a problem with her mouth and she also had a way
