Chapter 82Shawn's POV.There came a knock on my door. This time I was not sure if it was Mike or Leah who was at the door. But the knock now was getting heavier and the only thing I could think of was knowing the person who stood at my door.I walked up closer, placing my ear to the door.“Shawn!! Are you in there, open the door!" Mike's voice echoed behind the door.I quickly turned the knob to open the door, and when I did, Mike rushed in like he had been running for a very long time.“Where have you guys been and what happened back there?" I asked curiously.“It's bad, man… really bad out there. We were chased by some guys, I think they are the police or some thug Erica must have sent to find us,” Mike said.“Speaking of us…? Where is Leah?" “She was just behind me.”The door swung open, making my heart leap in fear.“Leah!!! Where have you been!" I yelled in shock immediately as she saw her walk through the door.“Uhhh, I…” She stuttered, trying to catch her breath as much as sh

Chapter 84Shawn could feel his heart thump hard, he felt his breath get heavy every second, and he felt his knees shake, but he dared not look at the door...“What's happening Shawn?” They both chorused.“This is not good…!!” Shawn whispered…Leah glared at Shawn from where she had been the whole time, she wondered what must have gone wrong and why he had been acting that way over a simple knock on the door.“Come on, it should be Neal who had just come back from wherever he went to, it has to be!" leah Said with no form of doubt on her face.“By sunset, that was when he said he would be back. And I just had this same dream, it's something worse and I am sure it's not Neal at the door,” Shawn said, standing by his words.“Is this some kind of vision you saw? Or a prophecy of some sort? Because that for sure isn't true. I will open the door now," Mike said boldly, springing up from his place straight to the door.”“Hey! Hey!!! Mike, don't do that... Do not do that, I promise you, we a

Chapter 86 Shawn could not believe it... Even Leah could not stand it when she heard Erica was still alive. It felt like their whole life flashed in front of them and that they had been loving, in what looked like a lie. “How did she get to live? And how did she escape with a drug in her body?" The questions kept ringing in Shawn's mind. The guys knew there was definitely no way Erica could have woken up that fast to make these orders, except she had done it before the capture or she had someone she was working with. “Can you believe this? Cause I know he is lying... That's not possible!" Mike stated angrily as he moved closer to him for more clarification on what he said earlier. “Why are you lying? Erica was taken away, wasn't she?" Mike mumbled as his hands stuffed the collars of the driver. “Why are you not believing me? It's the truth and there is nothing else I have to tell you. That's it,” the man said but this time, with a reaction that told him that he was angry no one b

Chapter 88 It had been night and Mike, alongside Leah had just managed to take Shawn back to the house where they stayed. They were mesmerized by what had just happened even when Shawn was reluctant to speak to them about everything that went on with the police officer. It was clear that something happened, and they deserved to know. Leah sat close to Shawn and she had his head placed on her lap while he was quiet the whole time. Mike on the other hand did the job of transporting everything they had brought back, to the dining table where they were going to sort out all of their things before they went to bed. Shawn's POV. I sat there thinking about all of the things that could have gone wrong in a matter of seconds if I had made the wrong choice or the wrong move while the policeman watched my every move. I could feel my leg get stiff the moment I tried to stand there fighting the urge to run towards where Mike and Leah had been… And if the policeman had moved a bit, I would have

Chapter 90 5 Months Later It was the beginning of the end for Shawn. One of the things he could not get past, the memories kept on coming, time after time like he had been watching a whole review of his life with Leah and Mike. And each time the flashes of memories came, it came alongside a drop of tears. “Hey Shawn, breakfast is ready!” a voice called Shawn. He had been in the living room with his journal, writing down things, things those he lived with saw as creepy. He spent most of his time and days with his book like it was some company and once, he heard people mention that he was obsessed with some letter his lover had sent to him, maybe that was why he couldn't let go of the book, wherever he went. “I am coming, give me a minute!" Shawn replied, tidying up what he had been doing to go have his food. He had found a way to run away from the area he had been to somewhere where no one knew him. He knew there was no life for him back in his city. He needed to let go of his fam
