Shay's POVFor the past few days as I continued to go to work, Jason and I have started to get a lot closer and act comfortable around each other more than I had thought we would be. It was one thing that I had noticed have changed recently including my mom's level of curiosity about my whereabouts. She even had me followed by her personal bodyguards one day and thank god I lost them on time to make it back to work without being late. Jason went on a business trip to Dubai three days ago and according to Sylvia, he's returning back today, those last three days have given me enough time to build up my courage and practice what I was gonna say to him.I've made up my mind, I am going to tell him how I really feel when he comes back. All this effort cannot lead straight into rejection, because I know he feels the same way as I do otherwise why would he even bother trying to get to know me and suddenly being nice to me?As I quietly work in my office, I couldn't help but glance at the tim
Shay's POVI softly knocked on the door and tried to balance the huge pizza box in my hand with the bottle of rosé on the other. Ever since that night during out company dinner, I've had developed a strange liking to rosé which is so not part of the list of wine that I usually like. A minute later, the door finally opens revealing Sylvia in her sweats with her hair in a messy bun on the top of her head. Plus, there were flour prints on her cheeks as well."I thought you went home already." I smiled and quickly nod my head happily."I was about to but then something amazing happened which is why I'm here to celebrate!" She eyed the things in my hands and then her mouth slowly curved into a smile."Well you're in luck, I just finished making some goodies."She stepped to the side for me to go in and I quickly did while making my way straight to her kitchen super curious to find out what she was making before I came. A loud gasp left my lips when I saw the delicious and warm chocolate cu
Shay's POVI waited for my ride to come pick me up at the airport and checked my phone for the time. It was already past 10am so Shawn must have left by now, I really wished I can go to Hawaii with him but unfortunately I cannot be at two places at once. I know he was going through a lot these days already because of the new problems arising in the company, cos I saw that it was all over the news about the prosecution office with a warrant to investigate Shelby. I have no idea what's going on at Falcon Group anymore but I know now that it's bad. Plus, dad pressuring Shawn everyday cos he's the current CEO is just too much for him so I really think that him going on this vacation was a good idea. He needed the break from it all and I swear that when he gets back I will surely make it up to him for not letting me go with him so I can spend some time with Jason.My phone buzzed in my back pocket and I quickly pulled it out and saw that it was a text from an unknown number. With just a qu
Shay's POVThe sunlight visible through the light satin curtains was what woke me up, I smiled while sitting up and then slowly dragged myself out of bed and did my usual morning routine but only this time, I was at Sylvia's place. I slept over yesterday, enlightening her with the main highlights of my day with Jason. I couldn't stop talking about him nor could I even stop myself from thinking about him every few minutes. I keep reminding myself that I'm getting a little carried away with my emotions but can you blame me? My whole life was strictly monitored by my parents that ever since the moment I hit puberty, I was not even allowed to talk to a guy unless they allowed me to. Let alone getting a boyfriend. I even tried the whole low-key relationship thing, and I almost kicked out of the house at 16.This whole relationship thing with Jason, it's both new and exciting to me. I like the feeling of being around him, he makes me feel at ease and also safe. Which is why I've been trying
Shay's POVMy hands continues to tremble by my side as I got out of the cab and made my way inside the house. I quickly wiped away the lone tear that rolled down my cheek and tried to stay calm by doing small breathing exercises. The minute I walked in, the atmosphere suddenly changes. There was a heavy bad tension in the room and the sound of glass shattering on the floor made me jump in surprise. I slowly walked towards the foyer and finally saw my mother standing in front of our butler screaming orders at him. Her appearance was a mess and just by seeing her reaction, I knew straight away that the situation was really bad than I had thought.She swiftly turned around and saw me and her eyes narrowed into slits. I braced myself as she started to walk towards me, and clenched my fists tightly by my side.
Shay's POVDays turned to weeks, and weeks slowly turned to months. No news or update from the people investigating Shawn's case that now, everyone that I know are almost sure that he's really dead. For the past two months, I stopped going to work and just remained in my big empty room and only coming out when it's time to eat or going outside for some fresh air. Dad kept himself busy at work every day trying to run the business on his own now that Shawn is not here anymore. He's also been contacting the detective leading Shawn's missing case and providing all the help that he can just to assist them with anything.Honestly, I think the only reason why he wants them to find Shawn alive so he can return home and handle the mess and chaos he had created ever since the news about him being missing was released o
Shay's POVAround noon, I was informed by one of the maids to meet my father in his study. My father and I have not really had a proper conversation before, so this was the first. I was a bit confused and tried to come up with a few reasons why he suddenly wanted to talk to me today, but most importantly, what does he want to discuss?I walked down the dim lit hallway towards his study and I stopped outside before gently knocking on the door. He called out for me to enter and I opened the door and walked in and saw him sitting in his big leather armchair with a drink in his hand. I sat down on the chair in front of his desk and stared at my entwined hands below me instead of looking at him. The look he always has on his face, intimidates me sometimes."Y
Shay's POVThe next Monday, I finally had the energy to go to work. I woke up early when my alarm started ringing around five thirty and then got ready. Ever since the day that dad and I had talked, I've been busy during the weekend figuring out what to do. If I keep ignoring what dad wanted me to do, then sooner or later he'll find out about my work at Cartwright & Evans and I can't risk that, which is why I have decided to go to work today and resign from there before it gets too complicated. Then, next I'll start packing my stuff in secret and go apartment hunting on Wednesday to get my own place ready when I move out of here.The plan is all set and I'm ready to get started but the only thing that's holding me back, is the thought of Jason. A part of me wants to still go out with him and maybe after I
