Sold to Mr. Arrogant

Potential threat



Potential threat

My friends were drunk and passed out on the counter; I was in the toilet making an important phone

call. I called Tony, someone whom I can't really describe our relationship as friends since it was a little

bit different. Tony was the one who passed me the dagger; he also helped me to deal with some

problems in the underground ring club.

He does not do anything for free though, it's not weird since it is his job.

" Lily, It's been a long time; I heard you were sold out by your father, is it true?"

" It's a long story, I would like you to tell me whether the whole thing was plotted or if it happened just

due to mere luck, the one he was indebted to is Gerald Finland, you must know who he is," I stated.

" Of course I do, I don't mess with big shark though. I will be fucked up if caught and with someone like

him, I would," he replied.

" I will guarantee that you won't get killed, he is an acquaintance of mine so if you told him my name, he

won't harm you. Also, all I need you to do is to check out whether dad asked him to give him money or

he offered it himself." I clarified.

" It's not my business to ask you about details but all I can say is take care, Lily. Those people are out

of our league, they are no joke," he said before I hanged up the phone.

If I confirm that he really planned all of this from the beginning then as Shawn said, his dad won't let go

of me anytime soon, I don't even know what he wants which freaks me out even more. I will have to

come up with an escape plan if my doubt was positively confirmed. I messaged the girls to deliver my

explanation to Jack somehow; I don't want him to create any trouble so I had to eliminate the problem

before it occurs.

I asked the driver to drive them to the nearest bus stop, I made sure they rode it then I went back to the

car, which drove me home. It was exactly 7:50 when I reached home, Gerald was strict about having at

least two meals together and I didn't want to anger him. Shawn was also sitting beside him as the maid

started serving our meals.

" How was your meeting with your friends?" Gerald asked.

" It's been a while since we last saw each other so it was a good chance for us to chat for a while."

" Good, you need to choose your friends carefully though, friends' betrayals are the deadliest." He

uttered as he looked into my eyes. His stare was long and creepy, I didn't know whether it held a

meaning behind it or not. I don't also know why does this family turn everything into a weapon, how did

they come to think this way.

I started getting curious bit by bit about Shawn; I wanted to know more about how he grew up and what

he went through so far, it was mere curiosity, nothing more and nothing less.

" I heard you got into a fight today," Gerald stated.

Is he watching me? I don't think that Shawn told him so how did he know?

" Yes, but nothing bad happened thankfully." I clarified.

" I sent the prime minister a small warning; I wouldn't like it if you were put in such a situation again."

Shawn did not comment on that, he was eating his meal peacefully as if he wasn't the cause for all of

this.

I finished my meal, excused myself, and went to my room, I spotted a lot of new stuff in my room, and I

guess that Gerald left them here. He even got me a laptop, how nice! Tomorrow is our meeting at

college to come up with the debate argument, this is the first step to realizing my goal, I knew I should

be ignoring Shawn for now but I can't help but want to regain my freedom.

Tomorrow, I will try to know him better and communicate with him a little bit.

The next day was quick to arrive; I ate breakfast alone with Gerald and headed to college. We finished

our sections and gathered in the cafeteria all five to plan our debate.

" Since we are with gambling being legal then we should describe it as magic. It could turn a dollar into

a thousand in a matter of few minutes." Nicolas who is our fifth one argued.

" It is also fun, it feels good when you play with money, it promotes positivity," Penny added.

" It is good for Skill enhancement. Gambling has also been shown to enhance a wide range of skill

sets." I lied.

Skills my ass, I can't see anything of what they said as an actual advantage, it should be only a hobby

of the rich. Poor people should be banned to gamble.

" It's also a good way to socialize; one can get many prostitutes and one-night stand girls from such an

activity," Shawn commented while looking into my eyes as he drank his juice.

" Ha-ha man, we can't write that though, the prof would give us an F." Penny laughed.

I tried to hide my anger but I guess he knew somehow that what he said hit me right where it hurts. It

enraged me more that I will have to act kind with him today, fuck this. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

It was 6 pm and I asked my driver to not come and get me so I would ride with Shawn.

" Can you give me a ride?" I requested.

" Nice plan," he said as he opened the passenger seat for me to hop in and headed to the driver's one.

" Thanks."

" I bet you want to talk to me about something like leaving my girlfriend if we do not care about each

other." He said as he started the engine and we got moving.

" You are a nice mind reader, why would you even keep dating if you don't care anymore?" I explained.

I noticed that he did not drive to where the mansion was.

" What are you going? This is the opposite direction."

" I will take you somewhere fun," he said stepping on the accelerator causing me to wear my seat

belt.
