Semua Bab The Unwanted Bride: Claimed by the Billionaire: Bab 121 - Bab 130

Shawn’s Pov “My boys are actively searching. I’m sure we will get news soon.” “You all should please do your best. If in 12 hours, she’s nowhere to be found, then I might have to involve the police.” I mumbled, even though I wanted that to be my last option. My marriage was still young, and I didn't want this news to get out there. After what felt like forever, I pulled up in my mansion. The rain had ceased. I got out of the car and saw Doreen and Titus, the head of security, standing right by the door. “Don’t tell me that bitch is still in there?” I said, staring in between the duo.“No, sir. We chased her out.” Titus took his phone out of his pocket, unlocked the device, and passed it to me. “Here’s the text I received from you, Sir.” I scrolled through to confirm that it was my number despite my name displayed.“How is this even possible?” I handed back the phone to Titus and took mine out of my pocket. I scrolled through my message board. “The last time I sent you a message

Shawn’s POV “I was so tense that I couldn’t drive. I had to wait for Kelv to come pick me up. Any news?” Kay’s voice came through. She joined me at the bar counter as I poured some alcohol into the glass.“Hey!” Kelv said as he came to a halt by my left while Kay occupied the space by my right. I could feel both of their eyes on me as I brought the glass to my lips and gulped down the shot.“Are you sure you don’t want us to involve the police?” Kay asked. I could hear the worry in her voice. I helped myself with one more shot, slammed the glass against the counter, then turned around. I rested my back against the marble counter, facing my siblings, who were both now standing before me. “I want to, but there is no way the police would be involved without it becoming a public issue. Cassie is so special to me. She has already faced so much humiliation. The last thing I wanna do is to give people more reasons to talk about her.” “As much as I wouldn't want that, I do not know how l

Shawn’s POV My relief only lasted a second before my heart began to beat really fast against my chest, hearing Jace’s other statement.“You need me asap? Of course, there is nowhere else I would rather be. But is she okay?” I said into the phone, staring in return at my siblings’ worried eyes. “She is not in a good state. The ambulance should be here any moment now.” I felt a very deep ache in my chest. “Send me the address.” “Right away, Boss.” I heard, and almost immediately, the line went off.“How is she?” “What’s going on?” Kelvin and Kay asked respectively, as I stared at my phone in shock. “Jace is going to send the address. He said she’s not in a good state.” I felt a hand on my right shoulder, followed by a light squeeze. From the muscular feel of it, I could tell that it was my brother. “He didn’t say exactly what was going on,” I added absentmindedly. “Ca….can we come with you?” Kay said. I could hear the worry in her voice too. “Of course! We can’t leave him alon

Shawn’s pov The next morning.“You look like shit!” My father said with concern as he sat beside me on the couch that I literally spent the night on. “I know, but I would rather be here than anywhere else,” I mumbled, massaging my right shoulder, which hurt a bit, while taking a glance at the bag that was comfortably seated on the table beside the couch that we were seated on. “Doreen packed that. She said you and Cassie would need all of it, and she sent her greetings.” “That’s thoughtful of her. Thank you.”“And thank you for your efforts in helping us find Cassie.” I added.“You have nothing to thank me for. I’m glad you remained strong through it all.” “Marriage is beautiful, but it doesn’t come without its challenges.” “I almost went crazy, Dad,” I mumbled. “I know! And I’m glad they are both okay. Sorry you had to experience all of that. And I hope that such doesn’t repeat itself.” “I hope so.” “By the way, I wanted to ask how far you’ve gone with the restraining order

Cassie’s Pov I swallowed painfully the moment I felt a dip in the bed. I could feel the tiny hairs at the back of my neck stand to attention due to his closeness to me. I mentally facepalmed, wondering where my senses and dignity went. I’ve shed tears for most of my life, but the ones I shed last night were different. It was one of pain that came from the depths of my heart. The last time I felt that way was probably when Mom passed away. I cried so much that I thought that I was over Shawn and that even though we met in the future, nothing would ever make me attracted to him. But right now, I don't even understand myself anymore.I was almost drowning away in my thoughts when it hit me. “Wait!!!!! The baby!!!!! Is he aware??????. My heart raced at the thought of this. Doreen promised me she wasn’t going to say anything. And it didn’t cross my mind to ask the doctor about it when she was attending to me. Well, I don’t think that would be a big deal. He would probably recognize Bren
