Chapter 105Shawn's Pov“How did you do it?” I asked, sliding down the stairs carefully and silently. They had just closed the door, and surely it was not what I was expecting to hear after the officer had gotten a warrant to search the house. There must have been something the girls did to send off the officer and eventually stop his search. It was one of the things I needed to know. It just made them even more powerful."Ermmm, it's all Ava, she made it work so you need to thank her, and then she'll tell you her secret…" Amelia suggested with a bright smile.Now everyone was happy, no one was sitting scared, thinking of what was going to happen next. Amelia and Ava were relieved, but not as relieved as I was.Hiding back at one of the rooms I had found, filled with furniture of all kinds and some other tools that were not in use anymore, I sneaked into the dust and under all the pieces of furniture was where I lay, quietly as they raided the room and the room after that until they
Chapter 106>“... And the police have made an arrest of some students who have murdered a girl in school and a lot of names have been mentioned in the case but one name is profound and is yet to be caught. His name is Shawn, the last name not mentioned… more news coming!" The presenter announced with a poster of Shawn's face stamped all over with the saying 'Murder' in bold.Shawn's father was watching the news reports for the day when he heard this. And for a matter of minutes, he had not noticed that he did not blink his eyes, nor did he move or jerk his body. It seemed like he had gotten engulfed in the news of his son that he completely was unaware of Pedro's presence in the room, as he also watched in disappointment.Shawn's father moved his head down with his hands covering his face. Tears filled his eyes and he was lost for words. He knew he had lost him for good…"There's… there is no going back, is there?" He muttered, stuttering as he sniffed."Perhaps h
Chapter 107Shawn's father and mother were left alone in the room as Pedro walked out. It seemed like there was something they needed to discuss and he was the one standing in their way… it was supposed to be a secret.As he walked out, he closed the door tightly behind him, allowing them to believe that he was all gone from the area and they began to talk. Pedro was still at the door when they began to talk and he had been hearing all they said.It was not his intention to eavesdrop, but he knew he had to do it anyway when he knew we were talking about Shawn.From all they said, it seemed like they had made up their minds and had taken a decision to cut Shawn off from the family. They could not risk getting their images stained because of their son, and anyways quoted the part Shawn had always talked about living on his terms and wanting nothing to do with his father or mother."Is this the excuse they are bringing up to cover for their decisions? It's so pathetic! Uggs!” Pedro sighe
Chapter 108With the amount of confidence she had, Pedro knew that it wasn't going to be an easy feat to get her to talk. He had to cooperate with her and agree to most of what she said… which meant only one thing — his mission had been compromised.Pedro drew his gaze on her as he watched her move away from him to go about her normal business. She was not afraid of what was going to happen to her or the kind of person she was speaking to. It only meant one thing, and that was that she had some sort of connection which meant no one could touch her and go scot-free, or maybe she was not who she looked to be."I have to be careful here!" Pedro said to himself, thinking of what next he was going to say to her to convince her to tell him what she knew about Shawn's matter. Pedro needed information, and he had seen the one person that knew things he didn't, he was not ready to walk away from this now."Can I speak with you… at least give me time to talk before you leave me without saying a
Chapter 109Pedro was kept confused… there had never been a seer before. Never had he heard of a seer who had the powers to tell the future and this kept him confused and silenced till he got to his room. He talked to no one as he walked in and tried to be calm even when he was caught fidgeting."What the hell is happening? Who is she and where has she been this whole time?" Pedro whispered as he stepped away from his car and into his house. It made him weak as he couldn't find the answers to the questions he needed.He walked sluggishly through the door into his room and he quickly fell, face flat on the bed. They were stories he always heard of seers when he was little and he never believed such things existed until today. His eyes were heavy and at the time, all he needed to do was have calm in his mind.The stories he heard were from his parents who had told him that they had some sort of bad omen whenever they spoke to you could see the things you could not see.Pedro's mother wh
Chapter 110 Pedro had finally made a decision that made some sense to him. He had decided to go and meet the seer who certainly was the only one that could give him the answers that he needed, it was something he knew, even when he tried to let go of that idea. He was already close to the store where he had seen the woman the previous day, but he sat glued to his seat as if he could not move to go out on his own. He was tensed, and knew that she had the upper hand now, especially when he needed another favour from her… she always did. Pedro grabbed hold of the car steering, putting his head there and mumbling inaudibly some affirmations to help him get through everything until he was back to the car. Pedro suddenly cleaned his face as he quickly withdrew his car keys from the ignition box, putting the car to an end. He walked calmly towards the store as he slowly breathe in and out until his eyes caught up with the woman's, and there he saw a sudden smile on her face. "Why the he
Chapter 111( 5 Years Later: End of flashback )It had been days if not weeks. Shawn, Amelia and Ava had not returned to school. The incident left them struck into their beds at home and they felt like they never needed school anymore. They had found a way to be comfortable without school, as long as there was some income to sustain them.Shawn on the other hand, up until now, knew nothing of where the money came from. He only knew they had some stream of wealth and it never ended. One time, a few days back, the girls had ordered some buffet with a bottle of champagne, one that cost thousands, if not millions of dollars. When he had been told by the girls how much it costs he thought they were only joking and were not serious with the amount they mentioned, not until he was shown a tag that accompanied itShawn was speechless, he glared at the girls with mixed feelings, thinking if he was supposed to be happy that they were enjoying themselves. Or worried that he had no idea where al
Chapter 112Shawn's eyes lighted up as tears filled in. He felt his body freeze for a minute until he heard his voice mutter."Hello, young master!”It was really Pedro… and how he got to his house, Shawn had no idea but at that moment, there were mixed feelings."I am supposed to hug him? Or I'm just going to stand here and see what unfolds next?" Shawn whispered to himself as he let out a tear."What's going on?" Ava's voice asked just behind Shawn and she placed her hands on Shawn's shoulders."Who is there?" Amelia joined to ask as she walked towards the door where Shawn stood to check why Shawn stood still like a plank of wood."How are you doing, young master?" Pedro asked with a shaky voice and just then, Shawn lifted his face to meet his teary eyes of Pedro. This was a surprise and at the same time an emotional moment for Shawn and Pedro. The two couldn't even hug themselves with the level of emotions that flooded the air.“I… I… am okay!" Shawn responded with a stutter as h
