Sold to Mr. Arrogant

Into action

I was in the airport waiting for my flight to arrive, it was 6 pm and I bet Shawn would be going back

home by now. I wonder what would his reaction be when he reads my letter. An hour has passed; I got

on board and leaned in my seat as I grabbed tightly my small backpack.

I never had a lot of belongings and it seems that I will never have, I am going to a new country where I

know no one there. All alone, I am supposed to cope with the environment and succeed in maintaining

a healthy lifestyle. I kept thinking of Shawn all the ride long, as I reached France, Paris; I checked my

account to find a million in cash in my bank account.

I guess Gerald wanted me to never come back for real, it is not like I thought he wouldn't but it just

hurts me whenever I think of that old geezer and how he managed to ruin my life.

I unpacked in an apartment that I have rented until I find a nicer permanent home. The room was clean

and that was all I needed, I was not picky, to begin with. I went to the mall in order to buy the necessary

stuff for my apartment as well as a new phone. In a matter of twelve hours, I was fully settled in this

new home of mine.

Shawn's POV:

I came back home excited waiting to greet my angel, I headed to my room but could not find her. The

first thought that arose in my mind is that she was in her room doing some stuff so I decided to take a

shower before joining her. I got out of the bathtub and directed my gaze to a towel on the bed.

Next to the towel, there was a white envelope that attracted my attention. I opened it and read what

was written inside, I was getting more shocked with every line.

'Dear Shawn,

I know that this might be sudden but I have given our current lifestyle a thought, I was not pleased with

how things are. I feel like a bird without wings, a billionaire without legs, and most importantly an

intruder without rights.

I wish to live my own life away from any shackles; I want to be free just like I always wished. The

money that was transferred to me by your dad after I signed my debt contract was enough to make me

achieve my dreams; I decided to leave willing to never look back.

I believe that I gave you the price of your precious time; you can manage the company as you wish.

Please do not seek to find me, forget about me and consider me as a light breeze that passed

alongside the wind.

I hope you find happiness in your life and also respect my decision.

Yours, '

I stood frozen in my place not able to digest the length of the words, what went wrong? I thought that I

made her happy those last two days. I even moved a step closer to winning against my dad, so why did

this happen?

Also, does she think that I give a shit about her company and what she has inherited, how is that

considered as paying me back for the love and passion that I showed her. I had to check that this is not

my dad's plot so I paid him a visit in his office.

"What's wrong? You look angry," dad commented as soon as he glanced at me.

"I thought you were assigning guards to monitor Lily's every movement," I started.

"I did, but I believe that you have asked me not to so I stopped,"

"Do you want me to believe that?" I retorted.

"Did she go somewhere?"

"Fuck you, why did you do it?"

"I didn't do a thing Shawn so stop shouting, the guards informed me that she has left in the morning, I

was busy assigning someone to follow her, you can check the cameras for yourself and track her or

something. Just don't waste my time with this kind of issue,"

"Listen, dad," I growled as I closed the distance between us.

"I will not tolerate your behavior any longer, it was time you get dethroned of this title you are enjoying

anyway so let me fasten the process for you," I threatened.

"The prosecution will come looking for you tomorrow, I am telling you this as I still consider our blood

link but this is the last thing I am going to be considerate about," I continued after which I took my

leave.

War has started and I am willing to win it, unfortunately, Lily's escape was unexpected and totally not in

a nice time. I have to follow up with every step from now on if I want my father to rot in prison so I will

be busy for a while. I still asked my personal assistant to investigate her disappearance and report

back to me. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

I also called her friends to ask them about her but they informed me that she told them her goodbyes

and cut all contacts afterward. I feel discouraged, I was doing all of this mainly for her sake anyway but

now that she is not within my sights, I feel extremely in despair.

I gathered enough evidence to arrest my dad but I feel that this is still not enough, I have to cut his legs

and hands so he would not even be able to crawl, this is the only way I can surpass my dad and seek

the life I wanted as I love the person in my heart without interruptions.

Wait for me Lily; I will definitely get you back.
