Chapter 61It had been morning, and the rays of the sun came screaming into Shawn's flickering eyes. Each time he tried to adjust himself to get some more sleep, he kept on hitting something that lay closer to him on his bed."What's this. . .?" Shawn with his eyes closed, kept on muttering.It felt like a body close to him, and in Shawn's mind, all he thought of was how someone else got into his bed without his consent, and how the person got into his room without some sort of permission."Please. . . Get off my bed!" Shawn muttered again."What the hell. . .? You are on mine!" A feminine voice uttered and Shawn quickly sat up like he had been electrocuted, wiping his eyes."What. . .?" Shawn mumbled as he looked around, and tried to recognize where he was."How did I get here?" Shawn asked after noticing he had been in someone else's room."Have you forgotten so fast?" She asked.Shawn could see clearly now and he saw that he had been sleeping with Leah on the same bed. He quickly c

Chapter 63Shawn had been sitting in a chair for over an hour, and there was no way for him to get a breath or a walk after the interrogation he had been getting minute after minute.Shawn knew he was saying the same thing over and over again but no one believed him. . . No one considered that he might be saying the truth, and this was the one thing that bothered Shawn. The man he had seen in the room when the fire had almost razed the building. . . It was now the words he spoke that gave meaning to Shawn's ears."If only I had listened to Mike and Leah. . . It wouldn't have gotten to this, I believe I would have been home right now, we would have been at home having some fun. . ." Shawm mumbled to himself as he shook his head.With mixed feelings in the air, Shawn got quiet almost immediately, trying too hard not to regret his actions after all he had been told, to be careful. . . He gave deaf ears.Shawn was pretty careful that he answered the men who asked him the questions. . . I

Chapter 65Shawn's POVI took in a deep breath, as I held on tight to Pedro's legs. I had no idea what would have happened to me if I had gone in earlier, but one thing I knew is that I would not have come out either.I was still on the ground, left in shock. . . I still wanted to go over there and see what must have caused the explosion, but then I considered the dangers I would be facing, another interrogation and another frightening experience. I wasn't just ready for that yet. I turned to look at Pedro and gave me a quick stare. I was okay, but I just needed him to ask how I was doing. I felt unhappy and afraid at some point because if he didn't come around, I wasn't sure if there was anyone else that could have stopped me or walked me to where I had been going."Are you okay. . .?" Pedro asked, with a clear indication on his face that he was really calm even after he heard the explosion.At that point, I felt a bit peaceful because he was calm. . . It meant there was nothing els

Chapter 67Pedro had received a call from Shawn. . . From the look of things, it sounded terrible and Pedro was not comfortable with it one bit. He had to find a way to either force it on Shawn's father or convince him of the plan he had come up with. Either way, Pedro knew Shawn's father had to agree to accept Shawn's return. There was never going to be another way about it.Pedro walked to the kitchen to put the plates in the kitchen sink when he saw Shawn's mom alongside the maid speaking to each other and tight after that, she was going to be out of the house. . . It was the right time and Pedro had those words stuck at the back of his mind.“Can I speak to you now. . .?" Pedro asked, giving the maid a stare to get the hell out and when she did, Pedro moved closer to her."What's the matter, Pedro. . .?" She asked."I need to speak to you about your son. . ." Pedro said."Shawn. . .?""Yes, Shawn. . .""What's wrong with him. . .? I thought I overheard you telling my husband that

Chapter 69It was a long drive but Pedro had arrived smoothly back home. The boys and Leah at the back had been asleep when he arrived home but were greeted by Shawn's mother who had been waiting for a long time to see his son come home to his arms.After everything Pedro had reported to Shawn's father on his way home, Pedro thought that he would be anxious about his son's life, but that was not the case. . . He left all the worry to his woman, Shawn's mother. That was exactly how Pedro pictured it.The guards were ordered to help Shawn and his friends out of the car to the rooms that were set and ready for them to use. They were not going to share the same bed with Shawn in his room, but they had renovated Shawn's room in a way that all three of them could stay together and have their own space to themselves. Leah, on the other hand, had been given a choice as a lady to sleep separately, but she took and chose to stay with her friends. She had been with them for a longer time than sh
