DIEGO'S POV I woke up to Savannah's warm embrace. I hadn't felt this good in a long time. This was what I wanted every day. "The nurse said James had woken up and I didn't want to disrupt your sleep," her soft voice rang in my ears. I sprang up immediately. I didn't want to waste another second. I needed to see James. I dragged my feet towards the ward with Savannah trailing behind me. James leaned on the bed, his eyes wide open and a smile tugged at his lips. "I told you, I can't die so easily," he muttered. I didn't even realize when my lips stretched into a smile. "I'm so sorry about last night but you shouldn't have taken the shot for me," I said as my face twisted into a frown. "I made a promise a long time ago, that I would protect you and I intend to keep that promise," he said, trying to sit up with a groan. He was still in pain and it made my heart ache. "What matters is that you're alive," I said, breathing out deeply. "What about the documents?" he asked,

SAVANNAH'S POV Since James called Diego out last night, I had not heard a word from either of them. Tara had tried calling James. I had called Diego but there was no response. My heard pounded. The thought of something bad happening to him frightened me. It was a weekend, no work so I had all the time to think about it. In fact, I couldn't even stay in one place. I had been pacing around the house. "Ma'am, you really should have breakfast. I'm sure they're both fine," Tara assured me but I could still see the worry in her eyes. Just then, Cassandra came running like she was being chased. "Ma'am, ma'am, something bad happened," Cassandra blurted out. Sweat rolled vigorously down her face.My chest thumped even faster. "What happened?!" I screeched. "They're—they're at the hospital. Sir Diego and James are at the hospital," she revealed. Hearing that, it was as if a sharp knife plunged through my chest. "Which hospital?" I managed to say. "St. Martin's" I strode my feet acros

DIEGO'S POV "James, what happened?" I asked as we approached the car. From the way his breathing was rough, I knew something terrible was happening. "It's Don Gustavo. I think you should prioritize your safety even more now," James said, opening the doors for me. "You need to see for yourself.""James, you haven't told me what's going on yet," I muttered, worried. "I have a plan. You said we couldn't reprimand him because we had no evidence right?" James started. "Well, we can get evidence now. I would have gone with someone else but I needed it to be between the both of us.""What kind of evidence?" I pushed further. "Drugs, fraud, guns," James spoke. My eyes widened as I stepped backwards. "He has a warehouse full of drugs, he is into fraud and he kills whoever poses as a business rival to him. Once we can gather all that, he'll be in police custody," James finally revealed. My jaw dropped. Deep down, my chest danced with happiness. On the other hand, I couldn't help but worr

SAVANNAH'S POV My stomach churned, and my jaw clenched. The audacity! "Be a good girl and think about my offer," Reynolds said, with an annoying smile. I squeezed my skirt, my fingers almost tearing into it. It was my way of holding myself from doing anything out of anger. I had to think of better ways to handle the situation. Probably to teach him a lesson. I feigned a smile. Then walked out of the office with my legs shaking. The rest of the day, I played it all in my head. Reynolds, the videos, Diego! "Sandy," I called. It was the new pet name I had given her. "What did you say about Reynolds hooking with ladies at the office?" "Shhh—come over here," she whispered, holding my arms, fear written on her face. "Have Reynolds tried anything with you?" I gulped, not knowing what to say. "That's a yes. Please, avoid him at costs!" she warned. "You should tell Diego." I paused. "Blood will flow, Sandy. I don't want that." "Who cares? At least Reynolds will fi

SAVANNAH'S POV "I can't do anything without your permission," he added. Not again! I wanted to scream the words. I wanted to say yes but something held me back. I wasn't sure he loved me. I always wanted my first sex to be with someone who really loved me. I pulled away with my head bowed. "I promised Sandy that I'll be back before 12pm." Checking my time, it was already 11:30am. Besides, there's so much for me to do at the office. We'll talk when we get home."He didn't argue. He created a space for me to pass through. "At least, let me drop you off," he muttered. "Diego, the situation is already as bad as it seems. Seeing us together might spark more controversies so I'll see you later okay? I said, reaching for the door. "At least, let James drive you," he added, making me stop again. I sighed. "Alright. I'll meet him outside." Walking out, my gaze landed on Laura throwing me a deadly glare. Somehow, it made me satisfied. James was already there waiting. "Ma'am Savannah, p

SAVANNAH'S POV I turned to see Molly and Benita. Molly's lips were wide with a satisfied smile. "Why did you do that, Molly?" I managed to speak, catching my breath. "I don't know. I just love seeing you in misery," Molly responded chuckling with her wrinkled hands folded. Benita scoffed. "What will you do about it? report us to your rich husband?" Both of them laughed. Their voices filled the air like banshees. My fists tightened, my chest closed with no space for air. I walked out in a flash not wanting to breathe the same air with them any second longer.Sandra stood in a corner like she had been waiting. "Sandy, please can you do my work for me? I really need to go somewhere right now," I told her, my eyes boring into her flesh. "But Savannah, don't tell me what you're going to do has something to do with the video," Sandra said, pulling me to the side.A big sigh escaped my lips. "That's a yes?" She asked again, impatiently. "Savannah!""Please Sandy," I muttered. She br
