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
Shaun's POV"I want you to fuck me" I heard her say. The water I had initially swallowed found its way to my throat and I almost choked.I didn't expect such a statement from her. I saw the determination in her eyes, but I also didn't fail to notice how drunk she was."You are drunk" I stated the obvious."Does that matter?" "Yes it does" I tried to brush past her, but she held my hand. I immediately felt heat course through my body. Looking at her with only that towel on her was a turn-on. Now she was touching my hand and I felt l was going to lose my mind. No woman had ever made me feel this way just by touching my hand. I wondered what kind of power she possessed."You are going to regret this" "I am the one going to regret it, not you. Why do you care?" She heaved herself closer to me and I stiffened. No matter how hard I tried to act like I wasn't affected, it didn't work. "You don't have anything to lose and I don't have anything to lose" She was very close and my body was slo
Lindsay's POV.I didn't feel the gravity of what I had done until I woke up the next morning. A wave of guilt washed through me immediately. I looked at my naked self covered with nothing but a duvet and I felt the need to cry. Something was missing, Shaun wasn't there.That was for the best because I couldn't imagine the amount of embarrassment I would have felt if he was by my side. Maybe I had had too much to drink.I got up from the bed and wore my clothes. Without even bothering to look in the mirror, I ran out of the room and the house, looking like a crazy person. Even the guards were stunned to see me, but I wasn't concerned about them. I was concerned about something greater; Asher.He was going to make my life a living hell if he found out I was with another man. Even though I didn't plan on telling him, there was a probability that he would find out because what else could be the reason I spent the night outside?When I got out of the cab, I swallowed hard. There was no way
