Chapter- 17
Song~ I knew you were trouble by Taylor Swift
Today is the last day in the vacation, that we had got which means one month is over successfully and sadly. Again, there will be monotony and only meeting with our colleagues for work purpose. The days went so happily that I never wanted to it to end but there is a saying "when there is a beginning there is an end" that's the principle of life and its properties I believe. The most saddening thing is that I couldn't go back to Laura after hearing that incident of hers because of the vacation which couldn't be cut short, it was terrifying to say the least but I think we could have sped up the process of that rascal being caught easily. She also vehemently opposed the will of me coming back, but it would have been the best now, I hear she is doing well than before with still the guidance from Ryan and his girlfriend even my parents have joined them and they are staying together always so that nothing happens ever to her.
Shawn has been only busy in his phone from the very last week, when asked he says it is just his friends and no one and nothing else but clearly there is something going on which I am not aware of, probably he will tell me soon, I believe in him.

Shawn~
I am feeling so restless , as I know she will come for us soon and for the last few days I constantly have been engrossed in my phone and most likely Prati has got the wrong idea of what I have been doing behind her back but I need to keep her in the dark until everything gets solicited as quietly as possible, most likely Claire will make noise the moment she comes to our vicinity but what she did last time won't happen again at least till the last day I am alive. Laura has been a bit well, but that situation is eating my mind up as well, when will that bastard be caught and the investigation is still on, it is like just find them already else, I will take the help of my FBI friend and he will teach them how to catch a criminal. I just have this feeling that this is the calm before the storm and the consequences that will follow after this will only be unbearable.
My father did ring me up the day before yesterday which only added to the rage of mine, his mistress is asking for the shares of our company and most of it will be given to her as he said to me and as I don't have the least of interest in the company, he will give my shares as well and I don't even know whether my mother's shares will either be retained or not and so, I have decided to finally meet him for the first time in these six long years, actually he being alive disgusts me. Suddenly, I feel a hand on my shoulder and it is none other than Pratiksha's breaking my chain of thoughts. She asks me, "Thinking about what?"
"Nothing", I reply.
"Hmm, keeping secrets from me already Mr. Briney?"
"No cupcakes, don't get me wrong but I am disturbed due to some issues."
"Do I get to know that?"
"Yes, actually-"
"Yeah, tell me."
"I have to meet someone tomorrow."
"We are just returning tomorrow, who is that important? let me guess..."
"My father...."
"Oh, I am sorry but as you are sensitive about this topic, I didn't ask you anything about it."
" I am sorry, babe. I couldn't make myself come to the fact that one day I have to go and meet my father and also his "mistress". I have been refusing to meet him, but this shareholder juncture that says that most of the shares will be given to her and also I fear my late mother's ones will be given just like that, I won't tolerate that at all, so I have come to this conclusion to meet him."
