Our plane just landed. We are now back here at Casterdale. I feel refreshed after that trip to Las Vegas, and also after clearing things with Cameron.We are now exiting on the arrival area when suddenly, a bunch of reporters started to run towards me. Cameron immediately blocked me from them.“Miss Savannah Harris, is it true that you will be the new director of SH Holdings?”“Is it true that you will handle the project bidding for Z&H empire’s casino and hotel project?”“Are you really using drugs?”“Is it also true that you went to California and got married to a commoner?”What the hell is happening?! What happened while I was gone?“Wait, please calm down I just arrived. Let me just answer some of the questions I heard. First, I won’t be the new SH holdings director. Second, yes, I will handle the project bidding. Third, who the fuck accused me of using drugs?! I am not, note that in red ink and capital letters! Lastly, absolutely not! I Did not get married in California. I just
“I... I’ll hand over the bidding project to Sylvester,” I said during the family dinner.It’s been three days since me and Vester had that conversation. I weighed all the possible choices, possibilities and everything before making this decision. As much as I want to take the risk, I just can’t. I realized that if I fail, my status in the family would be worst; and it will not benefit my child.I saw their shock faces, including Cameron’s who’s standing meters away from the back of my father.“Why? You had that trip to Las Vegas! I expected so much from you! Did you just waste your time there and partied instead of working?!” Grandfather angrily said.“I’ll compensate you with the expenses, but I made up my mind. Vester will be handling the project from now on.”“You already started it, shouldn’t you at least finish it to save your pride, at least?” Stefano said. He didn’t even glance at me and just continued slicing his steak.“That’s what I’m doing, saving my pride. I don’t want to
Today, I’ll be attending a fashion brand event as a brand ambassador. Cameron is driving the car and I’m seating silently at the backseat. We haven’t talk for two days, since we had that argument about me handing over the project to Sylvester.I don’t know why he’s too affected. I hate doing that too but what choice do I have?I was going to speak but he spoke first.“We have arrived, miss.” Damn, he’s still upset. Is he disappointed that I won’t have a position in our company? I really don’t want to overthink but I’m getting suspicious on his real motive towards me.He opened the car door on my side and I glanced at him before stepping out. I entered the event hall and Cameron is just following me. I saw my distant cousin, or whatever she is in the family chart, Irene with her fiancé and Bria. They saw me and immediately approached me.“Well, looks who’s here. My dear cousin—”“Distant cousin,” I said even before Irene could finish her words. She just rolled her eyes on me.“Hi my br
We are now inside the venue and everyone is just busy interacting with each other. I really don’t know how everyone is not tired of seeing each other’s faces. I mean, Casterdale isn’t that big, and business events are frequent, so we get to see each other like three to fives times a year or even more. I really feel suffocated in this event so I decided to freshen up on the bathroom. I was doing my business inside the cubicle when I heard two women talking about me. “Did you hear the rumor about Savannah Harris?” “Which one?” “There are rumors saying that she got kidnapped in Las Vegas.” “Huh? I just saw her.” “Yeah, probably she’s saved or whatever. Anyway, the thing is, they say that the one who ordered her kidnapping is one of her brothers.” “What?! Really? Who told you that?” “Irene.” “Irene Morgan?” “Yeah, Irene is a distant cousin of the Harris siblings so it’s possible for her to know that kind of information.” “You know what, that family seems perfect but I keep hear
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
