Lindsay POVThe next morning I woke up sore, like the 'I couldn't feel my legs' type of sore. It was a good type of sore, especially when my mind kept replaying the wonderful sex I and Shaun had.“Where are you going?" Came the raspy voice of Shaun as he turned to look at me.“I have to get Leia ready for school," I replied and he groaned.“Let Lydia do it" he was talking about the help we hired not too long ago.“I gave her a day off" I pointed out something he already knew, but probably forgot.“Let me take her then" he offered, but I rolled my eyes.“I still have to go work" "You can take a day off. You don't answer to anybody remember?” He was right, I didn't answer to anybody because it was my clothes-store, but it wasn't the first time he was asking me to stay back and I knew the reason even though he tried multiple times to deny it. I sighed as I turned to look at him. “Shaun the reason I brought about the whole job idea is to actually leave the house and now you just employ
Lindsay's POV.Shaun got back from where he went after hours and with the way his eyes still looked the same way they looked in the morning, it was certain, he was still hurt or better still hated me. Could Shaun really hate me? My paranoid self askedI sat on the couch waiting for him to return for hours and the way he just walked past me hurt me a lot. Shaun in his nature would peck me on my cheeks or wrap his hand around my waist to acknowledge me, but this time he acted like I wasn't even there at all.“Is this how it's going to be now?" my voice was shaky due to how hard I was fighting the tears that threatened to fall. It was then I realized all the text I sent him didn't mean anything. Yeah, texts and calls weren't going to mend what I had done, but there was nothing more I could do.He flung his suitcase on the couch as he turned to look at me. “I am not ready for this Lindsay," he said calmly as he turned to continue walking, but there was no way I could let him leave me in t
The next day I allowed the guards to follow me to the mall. I figured Shaun still insisted on me not going out alone. After hours of stubbornly staying at home, I finally decided to go to the mall with the guards. On getting there, I got to realize, Shaun bought the mall for 3 hours so that I could shop alone. I didn't know if he did that for my protection or if he did that to show me he had the power to do something like that.“Can we get that Mum" Leia pointed at a doll in an aisle we passed. I had to stop to look at it. When I saw what she was pointing at, I got to realize why she wanted the doll so much. It was the same doll Asher had bought her when she was 5.I sighed as I looked at my daughter whose eyes beamed in excitement as she stared at the doll in adoration. “We can't get that," I said and immediately her face dropped. She looked at me in confusion.“But why mum?"Did I even have a reason? Oh yes, I did. I wanted to successfully wipe Asher's memory from her life, but that
Lindsay's POVShaun laid beside me, deep in sleep while I stayed awake deep in my thoughts. He had assured me that Asher couldn't get to me in the house because of how secure the place was, but I still saw Asher as the psycho that he was. He might not be able to get to me today, but he would eventually. Even though it would take him years.The scariest part was, a divorce wouldn't stop someone like Asher. Only death and he was more like a spirit_ hard to killShaun tossed to the other side and I thought he was going to continue sleeping, but he raised his head and looked at me.“You aren't sleeping?" He asked tiredly“Can't sleep" I confessed and Shaun sighed as he sat up.“I already told you Asher can't get to you"“You don't know him. If he can't get me now, he would get me eventually. Now my daughter wants him. That means if he is able to get to her, he would take her and she would show no resistance" I almost cried at the thought of that.“That's not going to happen" he assured me
Lindsay's POVThat moment when you realize you made a terrible mistake. When you feel stuck, suffocated, and lonely. That moment when you look into the eyes of the man who once loved you, but see nothing but hatred. I felt it when I looked into the eyes of my husband. "Let me go!!" I screamed at Asher as I tried to release my hand from his tight grip."Stay still" he struggled with me because I was relentless."Please. Asher. It's not what you think. He just wanted to...."He didn't let me finish before cutting me off. "You have sinned against God and me. I can't tolerate that" he said, gazing at me with his wrath-filled brown eyes. I felt cold instantly, but I still didn't give up."Let me go!" I screamed as loud as I could, but that only made the situation worse. He slapped me on my already bruised cheek. The impact made my face collide with the wall. My head stung so much that I knew for sure it was bleeding.He bent to my level, grabbed a fistful of my hair, and pulled it for me
Lindsay POV."Asher!" I screamed his name as I entered the sitting room. I didn't care about the consequences. The only thing I cared about was pouring out my anger on him. What he did was so uncalled for and inhumane."Asher!" I shouted, heading upstairs."Yes, darling" he had a smirk on his face as he walked down the stairs to meet me. He knew what he had done and he most definitely loved the pain I felt."How could you? It was the only job I had. How could you be so heartless!" I screamed at him, making sure I was far enough from him to avoid getting hit."The job has gotten to your head. You should stay home. That way, your sense will surely return"I resisted the urge to rush over to him and drag him down the stairs, but I knew that was impossible. He was stronger than me. If I tried that, I would be the one going down the stairs. "So what? I'm going to stay here and worship your feet for the rest of my life?""That doesn't sound like a bad idea""You are pathetic. A crazy perso
*Two hours before they met*Shaun Marco's POV.I was filled with rage when I heard Luca say the words. "The Alfonso's family has declared us an enemy""After all we have done for them?" I asked Anthonio who only shrugged."I bet it was Flavio who pressured his father""For all I know, that guy should be killed and thrown into a lake for him to rot""I agree""Don't say that" I snapped at him. "You were the one who said he was reliable""I didn't know....""Oh save it" I puffed out smoke from my mouth and proceeded to throw the stick of cigarette to the floor. I walked closer to him with a glare on my face. "Fix this. Make sure you get my money back. Or else it won't end well for you. My father didn't hand me this fraternity to ruin it"I could see the fear in his eyes even though he tried his best to hide it.I stormed out and walked to my car. I planned to go somewhere to clear my head and probably not commit murder.I started the engine and began to drive mindlessly."Shit!" I hit
Lindsay's POVI forgot how drunk I was, but I was reminded when I stepped out of the car. I almost tipped over but was saved by Shaun who grabbed my hand forcefully and dragged me toward himself.I giggled, placing my hand on his chest. "You are strong" I loved the way he smelled. His manly cologne unimaginably stimulated me. I had not felt this way for years now."Let go in," he instructed when he was sure I was standing upright now. He was at the front while I struggled to walk at the back.I took the first, second, and third steps, then I fell to the floor. I groaned in pain. My body still hurt. Being drunk didn't stop the pain."Are you okay?" he rushed toward me, but I waved him off with a smile as I tried to stand up.At that point, the alcohol seemed to have taken over me fully.He tried to hold my hand to aid me, but it was barely working. All I did was giggle, clapping my hands as I watched him try."Fuck this" he muttered under his breath and swept me off the ground, carryin
