Chapter 47Shawn's POVJust when I heard that the tyres had been shot by Erica, I felt like I was going to explode. She was going to get me now. For sure no one was going to save me.After a lot of struggling with the car steering, the car came to a sudden halt in the middle of no way. It was getting cold and dark was covering quickly. . . "Ohhh fuck!! I just hope I don't regret doing this," I muttered to myself, recalling I was the one who had decided to stay back and not leave.I could feel my instincts tell me to not be afraid but go out there and confront her."She won't dare harm you, she knows she is going to regret it in an instant!" Was all I could hear from the voice in my head. In my mind, I had wanted to make the move but my body was not responding."We need to move out now sir!" The driver opted."Okay. . .! But to where?" I asked, not forgetting that I had no idea where I was and how I was going to get in contact with anyone. . . My phone's battery was dead and all it lo
Chapter 48>Pedro had promised Shawn's father that he was going to find his son by all means, no matter what it took him. And when once he makes a promise, he never breaks it. It was one of the reasons Shawn's parents were always fond of him. . . He never failed them when they had high hopes for them. So this time around, Pedro made sure to promise them Shawn was going to come back without a scratch on his body.He had ordered his guys to get ready that the mission was going to be simple but they had to be serious. He never considered any mission tough because he knew the kind of people he had beside him.Pedro knew Shawn's father needed to know how he was going to know where they had been. Pedro knew exactly how he was going to get that done.He had gotten one of the best hackers and computer operators he could find in the country. He needed to find out where they were through their phones, or where they had been last before they moved. Shawn always carried his phone
Chapter 49The car had finally arrived home and there, they stood watching, waiting in sight to see his foot step out of the car, with nothing but smiles on his face.The door was opened for Shawn to walk out, and when he did, he was about to be treated like the king of many nations and the godfather of all but Shawn immediately disagreed."No. . .!" Shawn said to the guard that was about to lay before him and the other who brought clothes for Shawn to make a quick change from the smelling and dirty clothes he had put on."This must be my father's work," Shawn uttered and immediately"Ohh Shawn. . . You're back and alive," Shawn's mother said as she grabbed him like she had not seen him in years. It seemed more like she had just found her precious diamond."I'm fine, mother. . . Nothing happened!" Shawn said with a fake smile.Pedro had been behind Shawn when he said this, and almost immediately, his parents raised their brows at Pedro. They quickly gave him a wink to confirm if all h
Chapter 50Pedro had gotten Shawn back to the car as soon as he could and had told Mike to get back at what he was doing.Pedro noticed Shawn had been constantly holding his stomach, at the same time trying to fold himself a bit to avoid the pain."What's going on with you?" Pedro asked him as he drove Shawn, heading back home."Nothing. . . I just need some sleep, that's all," Shawn responded, putting his gaze outside the window as he watched the cars drive past them each time they got stuck in the traffic."Take up your clothe!" Pedro said to Shawn."I'm okay. . . I just need to. . .""I just said something, and you have to listen to me whenever I speak. . . Raise your clothes right now!" Pedro yelled.Pedro quickly packed the car so he could focus on the matter at hand and see what the hell had been going on with Shawn because he was not looking good as he had said earlier.Shawn raised his shirt and Pedro glanced at the deep wounds he had seen. And as a matter of fact, the wound w
Chapter 51Shawn's POV.“Shawn” The shrill voice of my father reached my ears and I sighed but not loud enough to be heard. “What is this. . .? How did this happen to you?” My father asked.I had no idea I would begin this but I was literally afraid of the after-effects of the things I was going to say, knowing well that I would involve my friends in this wildfire. But I had to. . .“I got beaten by some group of boys from school,” I said to my father, but my head was down looking at the ground. I couldn't stand staring into his eyes, which would be flaring with fire at the moment."Are you that crazy to get into a fight in school? I mean, what were you there anywhere for. . .? Huh!” He said."Okay, what did you do... And by the way, were you in class when this happened?" He asked and all I could do was shake my head in response."Speak to me when I ask you a question boy!!" He yelled and I was shocked to the spine. My father was furious, and I had never seen him this angry. I knew I
Chapter 52The situation had become tense as all the students gathered around Mike. And just before Mike was Shawn's father, whose face had nothing but pain and anger written all over it."Just how am I going to get past this?" Mike muttered to himself, staring down at his feet."Dad! Please just let him go, everything that happened was not intentional and I swear he had nothing to do with it," Shawn said to his father but he turned dead ears to all he was saying like it meant absolutely nothing to him."How dare you do this to my son. . .? I thought you were his friend?" Shawn's father said, groaning angrily."I did nothing to Shawn, everything that happened back there was none of my fault Sir," Mike responded."Dad, please listen to me. . . He had nothing to do with the incident. He's my friend and I can swear that he could never think of hurting me." Shawn pleaded."Stop blabbing your mouth and get in the car now!" Shawn's father yelled at him, pointing to the car he referred to."
Chapter 53Shawn's father had some sort of blind faith in his son after Shawn has explained his plan clearly to him and told him all he needed to know about the VC. One of the hardest things there was to accomplish was to remove someone like the VC from that position notwithstanding the connection, with no valid reason.After the conversation Shawn had with his father, he had gone out of the car quickly to go look for his friends. After everything he told his father, Shawn's father was clear that Mike had nothing to do with anything that happened and was just trying to help out. . . And so for that, Shawn was allowed to go and see Mike.Shawn had picked up a hoodie he found at the back of the car when he got in. He wore it and stepped out. He needed to avoid the spotlights of cameras and people making videos. He needed to stay clear of the eyes of the people around him.Shawn had earlier tried to get in contact with Mike and Leah so he could know where they were but none of them was p
Chapter 54 It was a hot sunny afternoon, Shawn had been back home taking to take a nap from the heat of the sun, and he had decided to remain quiet about everything that happened during the attack. He begged Pedro too to not say anything about it to his father. Shawn knew what would come next if that happened. It was just exactly what he was trying to avoid. Pedro agreed to it but promised Shawn that he was definitely going to spill some blood the next time anyone attacked. Shawn did not want this, but it had to be. Pedro had made a decision and Shawn knew all he had to do was to be alert to any danger and call Pedro. "Umm! Uncle Pedro. . . I need to get some clothes myself at the mall," Shawn said to Pedro waiting for the final approval from him. "Can't you send the maids this one? I believe they will get whatever you want there for you," Pedro said as he looked away and tried to light up his cigar. "I know, I could, but you know they have no idea what size of clothes I wear and
