The next day, Shawn was discharged from the hospital and brought home, Sofia and Troy were surprised by what happened to him, their faces shocked and worried.
Shawn was taken to his room and lay down on the bed properly, his face pale and weak. Troy’s face was concerned, his eyes filled with worry. “What happened to you?” he asked.
Sofia sat next to Shawn, her face worried, her eyes filled with anxiety. Shawn’s face was calm, his eyes serene. “I was attacked last night,” he said.
Troy’s face was shocked, his eyes wide with surprise. Sofia’s face was horrified, her eyes filled with fear. “What? By who?” Sofia asked, her voice trembling.
Shawn’s face was reassuring, his eyes calm. “I don’t know, but I am fine now,” he said.
Troy’s face was exasperated, his eyes rolling in frustration. “Oh no, Shawn, for goodness sake, how many enemies do you have?” he asked.
Sofia’s face was curious, her eyes filled with inquiry. “Why did you decide not to tell us last night?” she asked.
Shawn’s face was gentle, his eyes smiling. “Because I don’t want you guys to get worried,” he said.
Troy and Sofia sighed tiredly, their faces relieved but still worried.
Some minutes later, Sofia came to Shawn’s room with some fruits salad, her face smiling, her eyes warm. She sat next to him, and Shawn smiled after her, his face grateful.
“Why aren’t you in school today?” he asked, his voice weak but curious.
Her face was happy, her eyes sparkling. “I got no class today, so I’m free,” she said. “Here, have some,” he said, as Sofia handed him the fruits salad.
“Thank you,” he said, taking the fruits salad from her and starting to eat.
Her face was concerned, her eyes filled with worry. “Does it hurt?” she asked, seeing the bandage wrapped around his tummy.
“A little,” he said reassuring.
“Is someone after your life? Did Sly return to hunt you because of me?” she asked, her voice trembling.
He looked at her with a reassuring smile. “No, I don’t know who they are, but my men are working on it,” he said.
She frowned, her eyes filled with worry. “This is bad, what if it was more than this, what if the bullet aimed through your head?” she asked, her voice trembling.
He chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. “You worry too much,” he said, smiling. “I can’t die now when I have too many enemies to take care of. If it was my fate to die, I would have died thirty years ago when I was found unconscious by my foster dad.”
She looked at him with tears in her eyes. “But I am scared,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
He leaned in and kissed her forehead, his lips warm and gentle. “Don’t be,” he said. “I will be here.”
They hugged each other warmly, holding each other tightly.
“You promise me that you will never get hurt again,” she said, her voice muffled against his chest.
He pulled back and looked at her, his eyes serious. “I can’t promise you that, but I promise to stay alive for you, and you have to promise me you will stay by my side.”
She nodded, her eyes shining with tears. “I promise,” she said.
They pulled away from each other and locked eyes, their faces inches apart. They leaned in closer and kissed, their lips meeting in a soft, gentle touch. They returned to cuddling each other, holding each other tightly.

Later that same day, Sofia came to visit her family after they called her, she took permission from Shawn and he assigned a guard to go with her. When they drove into the compound, she came down to see a huge man with a pot belly (Smith) stumbling out of the house with his men behind him. Then he stopped to lock eyes with her, and Sofia could see his piercing gaze on her. He let out a smirk and entered the car and drove off with his men.
Sofia’s face was confused, her eyes furrowed in inquiry. She wondered who he was, and she ran inside while her assigned guard waited behind by the car, safeguarding the area.
She rushed inside to see the trauma her family was in, and immediately they met eyes with her, they hugged her quickly. Sofia’s face was worried, her eyes filled with concern.
“What is going on?” she asked, her voice urgent.
They pulled away from her, their faces serious. Lucas’s face was grave, his eyes somber. “Listen to me, Violet, I think you have to come with us and let’s leave this country,” he said.
Sofia’s face was confused, her eyes wide with surprise. “Leave? Why? What trouble are you guys in again, and who was that man I saw leaving the house?” she asked, her voice filled with curiosity.
Diana’s face was curious, her eyes sparkling with interest. “You saw him?” she asked.
Sofia’s face was serious, her eyes stern. “Yes, I just met him, and he looked at me with a mischievous look,” she said.
Her family’s faces were panicked, their eyes wide with fear. “Oh no, this is not happening, we got no time to remain here, we have to leave,” Grandma said, her face worried.
Sofia’s face was angry, her eyes blazing with fury. “What have you guys done this time? Did you steal money from him, and now he is after your lives?” she asked, her voice accusatory.
Lucas’s face was nervous, his eyes darting back and forth. “No, we didn’t do that,” he said.
She could see the lies in their eyes. “You guys are lying, I thought you guys had changed, but I guess I was wrong,” she said, her voice disappointed.
She tried to leave, but they held her back. Grandma’s face was pleading, her eyes filled with tears. “Please, don’t go, hear us out,” she said.
Sofia’s face was frustrated, her eyes narrowed in annoyance. “Hear, what’s out? What trouble are you guys in this time?” she asked, her voice firm.
Diana’s face was serious, her eyes filled with worry. “You have to come with us, we are no longer safe here, and you too,” she said, her voice trembling. “The man you are living with, will end our lives once he knows the truth.”
“What are you talking about, Mom?” she asked, her voice laced with confusion. Her family’s faces were avoiding her gaze, their eyes darting around the room. Her face was suspicious, her eyes narrowing. “What are you guys hiding?” she asked, her voice firm.
Grandma’s face was calm, her eyes soothing. “Nothing, dear, just calm down,” she said, trying to reassure Sofia.
“Don’t tell me to calm down, Grandma!” she snapped, her voice loud.
Her family’s faces were taken aback, their eyes wide with surprise. Sofia’s face was determined, her eyes staring hard at them. “Tell me what you guys have done, and why will Shawn want to kill us if he finds out the truth?” she asked, “What truth, Mom?”
Her family’s faces were nervous, their eyes gulping anxiously, knowing this was the time to spill out the truth to her.
Shawn was taking a nap at the garden, sipping from his juice, his face relaxed, his eyes closed. Troy came over, dressed up to leave, a smile on his face.
“There you are,” Troy said, his eyes sparkling with amusement.
Shawn stared at him, his eyes opening lazily, a hint of a smile on his face. “You look good today, are you going out?” he asked, his voice laced with amusement.
Troy’s face was confident, his eyes shining with excitement. “Yes, I am hanging out with Mabel,” he said, his voice filled with pride.
Shawn’s face was teasing, his eyes crinkling at the corners. “Wow, nice, did she agree to go with you or you forced her,” he teased, a smirk on his face.
Troy rolled his eyes at him, his face exasperated. “Don’t get it wrong, bro, I am serious with her, and I want to make the best out of it,” he said, his voice sincere.
“Well, I wish you luck with that,” he said, his voice laced with sarcasm.
“I am not going to allow you to ruin my chances today, I will be needing one of your cars,” he said, his voice firm.
His look was generous, his eyes smiling. “Sure, go ahead,” he said, waving his hand in permission.
“You are the best, don’t miss me too much, okay?” he said, his voice teasing.
He scoffed,”Don’t bother,” he said, his voice laced with sarcasm.
“Alright, buddy, see you later, and don’t forget to take your medication,” he said, his voice teasing.
Shawn’s face was playful, his eyes sparkling with amusement. “I heard you, Dad,” he teased, his voice laced with sarcasm.
They smiled at each other, their faces filled with warmth and affection, before Troy left.
