Going back
Going back
I made my brother a cup of tea, even though it has been a long time since I have last seen him but
strangely enough after what he has told me. I felt really comfortable sitting by his side, he kept telling
me about how he spent those past years. As soon as he reached France, he worked as a waiter since
he did not have enough money to continue his education.
Gerald got him an apartment but did not give him any money; he started from zero until he bought a
house in a nice street after becoming the restaurant's manager. He mentioned that he was offered an
arranged marriage with a girl he liked but he refused since he did not want to be responsible for anyone
anymore.
He dated for fun and also presumed his karate training even in France. He taught kids how to fight in a
dojo he knows from time to time. I was proud that he managed to straighten his life even though it was
hard for him to do so.
I told him about how Gerald forced me to marry his son and took over my will after Indigo wrote
everything under my name. He was surprised to hear that Gerald's son loved me for real, he soon felt
sad because we were separated but still thanked God that I am fine.
"I am glad that Gerald sent me your address, I can take care of you here so you have nothing to worry
about anymore," my brother started.
"No, I left with a lot of regrets; I have to go back..."
"For your friends and life's love?" he asked.
"Yes, I shouldn't have run away. I need to avenge myself. Gerald's men are monitoring our moves now
though, I am also afraid my friends would be hurt," I explained. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
"Ask me properly then, I will help you,"
It was hard for me to say my brother's name; I may have called him by his name 4 times in my whole
life or something. I was getting familiar with him by the second now so I decided to act bolder.
"Help me then, I think I will need you... Kenny,"
"Awee, I am more than glad to be of any help to you, Lily," he giggled sweetly looking directly into my
eyes.
"I know exactly how to fly back without interruption, if you are here then I have nothing to worry about
from coming back; it’s time to try again. Try and punish this filthy man,"
I felt relieved that he shared the same desires with me, he encouraged me greatly and with him, I was
thinking more about Shawn and how we did that for each other when we were together. I bet he misses
me...
"Shall we leave?"
"Now?" I was surprised by his sudden claim.
"Yeah, contact your friends while I make some calls,"
"Okay,"
I called Tony.
"Hey, I am Lily," I began.
"Lily, I am trying to reach you, how have you been? I wanted to inform you that Shawn managed to get
us somewhere safe. It was easy for me and John but the girls were worried to leave their homes, he
managed to convince them though,"
"Really? Are you saying you are all together being protected by Shawn's men?"
"Yes, he is looking for you everywhere since the day you have left. Gerald has been arrested as well, a
lot of things have happened..."
"I will come back right away, pass him this message for me,"
"Okay then, take care and do not worry about us,"
I took my phone, wallet and left the apartment with Kenny. He called his friends to help him take down
Gerald's men who gathered in front of the airport's gate trying to prevent us from getting in.
"Are you okay, Lily?"
"Yeah, I am fine, Let's go," I replied.
We reserved a spontaneous flight; we waited two hours in the airport before finally getting on board. I
slept from exhaustion and Kenny waked me up when we reached our destination. He instructed us to
follow him carefully in order to sneak from the airport because Gerald's men must have heard about
what we did. They would want to stop us by any means.
I got a call from an unknown number and I answered right away feeling that it is Shawn.
"Shawn??"
"Lily, where are you?"
"In the airport, I came back,"
"Thank god, I am waiting for you outside, come out," he instructed.
"Bro, Shawn's out there," I mentioned.
We got out of the airport and I could see Shawn staring my way, the only emotion my mind could digest
as soon as I saw him was utter happiness and nothing else. I felt a big urge telling me to run to him. I
throw my bag and I dashed at full speed to jump on him when suddenly a black van stood between us
blocking my way.
"Lilyyyy..." Kenny shouted.
I was pulled inside the van roughly, the door closed and the van rushed at full speed.
"Fuck, get them," I could hear the faint scream of Shawn's before I was drugged. I fell unconscious as
a tear slid down my cheek, I prayed for a happy ending but what is this?
Shawn's POV:
The van was so quick, as soon as we reached the main road, we could spot several black vans.
"What the fuck, from where, did all those vans come from?" the mysterious man who I think might be
Lily's brother shouted angrily. He jumped into our car when we were about to move.
I came in only one car; we could not follow all those vans who took different roads so we remained
focus on one van though. After 20 minutes, we finally managed to follow it to a dead end.
I got out of the car, headed to the driver’s seat, and pulled out the man throwing him to the floor. Her
brother ran to the backseats and looked for Lily but judging from his reaction, she was not anywhere in
the van.
"Damn," I spat out.
Just when I hoped to hug her the most… I am fucking stupid for thinking that dad would let me have my
way.
