PAST PAINS

Deysha got back to her luxury apartment looking defeated. Javyn Andrew was her last chance at freedom from her father.

She was the only one of his daughters yet to be married off to a wealthy businessman who would benefit her father.

Her brothers were put into business as soon as they turned eighteen, while her sisters were sent off to their husbands. Since she showed no interest in either and wanted to become a doctor, she became his worst nightmare.

Their mother was no use; she simply did what he instructed. The plan was so perfect in her head, she would tell him why she disappeared all those years ago, and he would save her from her father.

She took out a beer from under her bed and quickly gulped its contents. Three beers in, she could not contain herself anymore.

Tears were streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably, and the anger she had felt when he held the nurse’s hand all came back to her.

She smashed the empty beer cans on the glass table with her bare hands. The beer cans she had targeted only lost their shape, but the table smashed and was now shards of glass.

Her hand was bleeding, yet she felt no physical pain; the hurt she felt was from within. She had lost her one true love, not to death but to another woman.

Back at the mansion, everyone seemed to be easing up. Savannah left Zayn and Mr. Andrew at the table, and they were fully absorbed in their business talks.

She was exhausted from the day’s events and wasted no time falling asleep. It was a peaceful enough night.

Mr. Andrew made sure his investigator was looking into Deysha before he went to sleep that night. He was certain her return was not genuine.

Unlike Mr. Andrew, Zayn had other errands in mind. He was about to go to his room, but could not cure his curiosity about how she was doing.

They both knew how badly Deysha’s sudden disappearance had affected Javyn, something they had chosen to conceal from Celia.

Her room was just down the hallway, so he quietly walked there. He was quiet when opening the door to avoid any noise.

Just as he had thought, she was awake, probably worried about her brother. They shared two things in common: one was that they cared about billionaire Javyn Andrew.

Jada Rose was hoping he would visit her that night. She was just as shocked as she was hurt to see Deysha return as though nothing had happened.

“I’m here, Rosy, talk to me.” He was seated at the edge of her bed, looking at her.

She had no memory of the last time anyone called her that. She was no longer the baby everyone looked out for; she was now an arrogant teenager everyone avoided.

Seeing her reluctant to respond, he got into the bed right next to her. Zayn urged her to talk to him. The response he got was not at all what he had expected.

Jada slowly leaned in for a kiss, reaching for his jeans’ button. This caught Zayn by surprise as she had never been the one to make the first move.

She was already naked underneath her oversized T-shirt, making it easier for him. He slowly let to fingers inside her and could feel the juices she had inside.

Once both were undressed, he got on top and slowly let himself inside her, taking in her soft moans as she held on to the sheets.

The second thing they shared in common was that they love making love to each other. That was exactly what they did that night until they fell asleep in each other’s arms.

****

Javyn Andrew’s billion-dollar company was marking fifty years in business, and for weeks, that was all the Andrew family would talk about.

Celia and Jada had gone all out, planning a lavish party to celebrate. Savannah had a few days before her semester began. She was excited yet slightly apprehensive.

On this day, they had spent their time shopping for outfits as instructed by Mr. Andrew. He told Jada to make sure she got more than enough outfits for the semester, in addition to getting their outfits for the big day.

They had Zayn and a driver who helped them around throughout the day, whether it was carrying bags of shopping or helping them decide on an outfit.

So that evening, two exhausted men brought two excited women back to the mansion. Mr. Andrew was in the living room waiting for them.

Jada was quick to let her brother know what an amazing day it was. Even though he listened intently to her yapping, his eyes followed Savannah’s every move.

They kept looking over at her as she helped Mia carry some of the shopping bags to her room. It had been a while since they spent time together.

Mia was helping Savannah put everything in order when they heard a knock on the door. It was Mr. Andrew, so Mia excused herself.

“Thank you for today, Mr. Andrew.” Saying this, she pulled out his credit card from her purse and handed it to him.

“You are going to need it more than I do, keep it. I wanted to know how your day was.” He was holding onto her hands.

She told him all about her day, and soon they were talking about any and everything. He was telling her about how exhausting work was, about the excitement for the party.

She, in return, told him about how much reading she was doing to pass the time and how she was eager to start school again, but also scared.

They were laughing about how excited Celia was about the upcoming party when Mr. Andrew’s whole demeanor changed. Savannah was confused for a moment.

“She is excited to meet her future daughter-in-law.” He went silent for a moment.

“You do know you are the other person I told her about that day?” Savannah was at a loss for words.

She knew they shared something and could not try to deny it, but for him to admit he felt the same way changed a lot. They were in love and they knew it.

Savannah simply looked at him. Then she did what she had always wanted to do whenever she looked at his lips as he talked. She kissed him.

Javyn Andrew had not anticipated this from her, but he had wanted this just as much as she did; he did not hold back.

They seemed not to get enough of each other when Mr. Andrew’s phone began buzzing. He apologized to her and kissed her once more before he excused himself.

Savannah lay back on her bed with a smile on her face. She was on cloud nine. It was as though she could still taste his lips.

It was Javyn Andrew’s investigator calling with information on Deysha that he said was shocking to him. Her return was indeed not genuine.

All Mr. Andrew wanted in that moment was her address, which he was quickly given. He knew what he had to do.

She had once taken away his happiness by disappearing. He was not going to let her do it once more by reappearing in his life.

    A SURPRISE VISIT It felt like an eternity for Mr. Andrew as he waited out there. Eventually, Savannah came out smiling and excited to share the results.She had aced the interview, much to Mr. Andrew’s relief since he had already planned a celebratory treat.They went to a desert store where Savannah had enough donuts and cookies to get a sugar rush. Mr. Andrew simply handled the payment.They arrived back home to find a white jeep with a brown interior parked in the compound. Mr. Andrew seemed just as confused to see the car.It was only once they got to the living room that they got an idea of what was going on. A beautiful young woman with brown hair and blonde highlights was quick to walk towards Mr. Andrew.“Hey Javyn, you weren’t answering my calls, so I figured I’d just come to see you. We need to talk.” The lady was looking at him, desperate for any reaction.He simply held onto Savannah’s hand and told her she needed to leave. Just then, Mia walked in with the flowers the l

    RIDICULOUS ROMANCE Savannah could not help but wonder how she got there. From a nursing student to a passenger princess in a silver Benz next to a breathtakingly handsome man.This was so surreal. She could not help but steal some glances every once in a while. How on earth had he not passed down those genes yet?Even with a straight face, focused on driving, his features settled perfectly, his long dark lashes flattered slowly as his eyelids covered his sparkling blue eyes every once in a while.“So you’re just going to keep on sneakily looking at me?” Saying this, he turned and looked at her, a smirk on his face. “Wondering why I have no lady of mine yet, Nurse?” He now had that smile on his face, a smile she was convinced was reserved for her.“Make that ladies and babies, not that you have to have them, it’s just that…” He let out a chuckle that disrupted her.“I thought being attractive was not enough, and decided to first get the fortune that would keep the lady, then fell in

    THE ARRIVAL “So you’re seriously leaving?” Those were Gayle’s first words as she stumbled in on her roommate packing up.“Seriously, Gayle? For all you know, I could be clearing my wardrobe.” She said this while avoiding Gayle’s eyes, which did not help her case against her persistent roommate.“Words get around the hospital pretty fast, Grant.” Saying this, she sat on Savannah’s bed and started folding clothes too. “Who is this guy anyway? Why on earth do they have you and Dr. Colbert keeping his details such a secret?” Savannah could feel her scrutinizing eyes.“We’re not doing this, girl. He’s a human being like the rest of us, and that’s that.” She was hoping the response would discourage any further persistence from her part, and it did, but not without reminders of how she better be the maid of honor on their big day.As she zipped up her suitcase, she could not help but imagine how lucky she was. She was leaving a foreign enough place for her, yet again, for another. It was

    NEWER NEW BEGINNINGS Savannah was looking expectantly at Dr. Colbert.“Well, Miss Grant, that is our final decision. The hospital’s board had to take into consideration the power this family has over its existence.” Dr. Colbert said those words with undefined finality.Savannah’s eyes flickered between the document that had been pushed over to her and the thin lips of the man who sat before her, the lips that had just muttered the confusing words.The sensible man must have missed something since his words seemed to lack reason to her. Looking down at her hands, they were drenched in sweat, and for whatever reason, she could feel the droplets on her forehead as well.“I am sorry, Dr. Colbert, but does Mr. Andrew understand what this means for my remaining course as a nursing student at…” She had not noticed, but her voice now had a new high pitch to it, the kind that slipped when her mind was racing.“Everything was prepared before the young man even confided in me.
