An hour later, everyone else arrived. I immediately approached and slapped Sylvester as soon as he entered the mansion.“You traitor! How can you just steal every credit like that?! You worked hard for it alone? I didn’t ask you for too much but you promised me!”“Savannah that’s enough!” dad loudly yelled. “This is an important day for us and the company! Stop acting like this!” I faced and glared him.“Right, you won’t care on whatever mistake Vester did tonight because you’re also like him, likes to steal other’s ideas and hard work.” I didn’t expect it but dad slapped me. I saw mom gasped in shock.“How dare you say that! You don’t have respect to your own father!” I turned back to him and smirked.“Why? Is it not true? You’ve been stealing mom’s hard work for years, haven’t you? That’s why it’s easy for you to tolerate your sons to do the same.” I walked closer to him and made sure to stare at him with full of anger. “If mom just let you go on your way, then know that I’m differe
I woke up in a hospital room. I repeatedly blinked and rub my eyes to clear my vision. I looked around the room and saw my mom sleeping on a chair beside my hospital bed.“M-Mom...Mom,” I called her. She woke up and immediately approached me worriedly.“Savannah! Are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere?” I realized what happened to me so I suddenly panicked.“M-My baby! My baby! What happened to my baby?!” I worriedly asked as I hold onto my belly.“Relax, your baby is safe. Your child is strong so don’t worry.” I felt relieved after hearing that. “Why didn’t you tell me that you’re pregnant? I could have helped you.”“I’m sorry mom. But... what happened to me?”“You passed out and had a bleeding because of stress. You were so emotional earlier so it affected your baby and then bleed and passed out. The doctor said that you and your baby will be fine. You just have to rest and stay away from stress.” It became silent for a few minutes. I can’t believe this is how I decided to tell them ab
It’s been two days and I’m preparing to leave for Australia. I thought that it’s better for my child to stay away from this toxic family. I can’t let him or her grow up with evil people around her.I haven’t talked with Cameron yet. He got fired after trying to restrict dad and grandfather’s entry in the hospital. We will meet later up on the hill and I’m planning to tell and convince him about my decision. I’m leaving tomorrow, hopefully with Cameron, for Australia.I’m currently busy packing my things when Skyler knocked and entered my room. He sat beside me on the bedroom floor and hugged me.“Stop acting like a little kid, Sky.”“Are you really leaving? Can’t you just stay?”“You’ve asked that to me five-hundred times by now. My answer will not change.” He lets go of me and leans on the bed.“All of this is happening because of Sylvester! How can he still have the guts to live here after what he did?! I never liked him, anyway.”“You always follow him around ever since you were yo
I am now at the airport and currently waiting for my flight to start boarding. Mom and Skyler are with me, Stefano didn’t come because of a meeting but he said his goodbyes.I am sitting and anxiously looking around trying to find Cameron. I don’t know what he meant last night, but I hope he’ll come today.“What did he say to you?” mom asked which made me turn to her.“Who?”“Cameron.”“He asked me to trust him. He didn’t say if he’ll come with me.”“Am I the only one having a bad feeling about this? What if you just cancel your flight?” Skyler asked.“I won’t. I will leave with or without him.”“Don’t be so anxious and just relax. There could be a traffic, I’m sure he’ll come for you.” Mom tried her best to calm me down but I just can’t. I’m starting to panic and overthink on what could be happening to him.Suddenly, an announcement was made that my flight will start boarding. I still can’t find Cameron and I’m about to cry, stupid hormones!“Savannah, you’ll be late if you don’t boa
Cameron brought me to another room in the building. We left my family with Cassandra, who will fully explain them what is happening. I am still in shock and speechless after Cameron’s revelations.“Do you want anything? Tea? Juice? Water?” I didn’t answer him and just stared. I think he got the cue just from my eyes. He sat down beside me and held my hand. “Savannah, nothing changes between us even if—”“What do you mean nothing changes?” I interrupted him. I pulled my hands and took a deep breath. “These changes everything! I don’t know if I should celebrate knowing my boyfriend is not a bodyguard, but a CEO of goddamn largest company in Casterdale or be worried and frightened. I was fully ready to accept on who you really are, as a bodyguard, but then everything suddenly changed overnight!”“You should be glad. You being my wife will make you untouchable even to your own family.”“That’s not the point! Why didn’t you tell me sooner?! Do you know how much overthinking, anxiety and pa
It’s been a week, and today is an important day. Z&H empire will hold an event to formally introduce Cameron to the public. He will also announce our engagement, well this event is also our engagement party since I suggested to just do it all at once. I am so nervous, like I am shaking. I am already expecting a wide range of reactions from everyone in the party. Brian will be there with his family. I don’t want to but that’s just how it is.I am in a waiting room near the event hall. I am anxiously sitting while waiting for Cameron. He went to get some things done. The door opened and Stefano entered.“Why are you here?” He looks like he’s in a hurry.“Savannah, Sylvester is missing.”“What? How? I just saw him earlier.”“Me too, but he’s missing. I don’t know what happened, I can’t contact him.”“Are they searching for him now?”“They are. Our men are all searching. What’s with that guy?”“After what he did to me, he won’t show up tonight. Casterdale isn’t that big, you’ll find him s
“Sylvester! Stop right there! Let’s talk!” I shouted while following him. We are now on the parking lot and he is just walking and ignoring me. “Just go back the party. How could the soon-to-be-bride be absent on her own engagement party?” “I don’t care! Stop walking and let’s talk!” He still ignored me so I thought of something to make him stop walking. “Ah! Ouch, my tummy!” I exclaimed pretending to have cramps. Vester immediately turned around and went towards me but even before he could completely assist me, I almost vomited because of his scent. “Yuck! You reek of alcohol! Oh my gosh, I think I’m going to puke.” “I told you, you should go back inside.” He was about to walk away but I grabbed him. “You’re not going anywhere! Don’t test my patience Sylvester Harris, stay here because we are going to talk.” I held his wrist and drag him to the hotel’s garden. I made him sit on the bench and I sit on the other one, since I can’t stand the smell of alcohol on him. “Where did you g
Weeks passed and I am now five months pregnant. We are starting to prepare for a gender reveal party. We also decided to have a wedding after I give birth, because I don’t want to walk down the aisle with a baby bump. I mean, I want to be at my best gorgeous self when I get married, although I’m still a gorgeous pregnant lady. I will have my ultrasound tomorrow for the gender.I just arrived at my family’s mansion. I already moved in with Cameron in our own house, but since he went out for a meeting, I decided to annoy my beloved brothers today. As I was walking, I noticed that the house is quiet. I quietly went to Stefano’s study room, hoping to see him there, and coincidentally found all of them there. Stefano is sitting on his chair, while Sky and Vester are beside him and all of them are looking through a laptop.“Are you guys watching porn?” They look so startled and started to panic. Stefano immediately closed his laptop; Vester dropped the papers he was holding and Sky immediat
