Chapter 210: Revenge For What?

Savannah

For the second time today, every pair of eyes in the room locked on me. But for the first time, I didn’t shrink back. I didn’t recoil like their stares were drawn swords pointed at my throat.

I stepped forward.

“Revenge for what?” My voice didn’t tremble. “And you said it was part of the plan. What plan?”

Paula’s eyes flicked up from beneath her lashes—calculating, hollow, terrified in a way she was trying very hard not to show. Her hands were shaking, but her tone was flat when she spoke.

“He said Chloe’s father hurt his daughter for years,” she said. “He wanted to get back at him. He always wanted revenge for his daughter. That was why he reached out to me.”

Her voice cracked on the last word, and she took a long breath before continuing. “He told me he had things planned. A lot of things. But the first step was Chloe.”

She dropped her head as she spoke the last part. “I don’t know all the details. He’s the only one who knows everything. But

  • From Best Friend To Fiancé    Favorite Sibling?

    Chapter 217: Favorite Sibling?RomanSavannah is lying flat on her stomach beside me, her legs kicked up behind her and crossed at the ankles. The black bikini she’s wearing is completely illegal—not because it’s revealing, but because I can’t look anywhere else when she’s in it. Her hair is tied in a messy bun, a few strands brushing her shoulders as the breeze picks them up.Her phone is balanced on her palms like she’s holding some sacred relic.“Favourite word?” she asks out of nowhere.I don’t think. I don’t need to. The answer is already carved into my bones. “Savannah.”She looks at me over her shoulder, lips twitching into a slow, satisfied smile. “That was smooth, Roman. Very smooth.”I shrug like it wasn’t intentional. “I’m being sincere, my love.”“Favourite color?” She asks again. Again. I don't think. “Yellow.” She rolls her eyes, but she can’t hide the smile. “Okay, Romeo. Next question.”After the morning we’d had—the kind that leaves your muscles sore and your heartb

  • From Best Friend To Fiancé    The World Could Wait

    Chapter 216: The World Could Wait Savannah I went to bed frustrated, embarrassed, and honestly a little pissed.Frustrated and pissed because my very sensible fiancé apparently had too much on his mind to entertain my very insensible fantasies.And embarrassed because, annoyingly, Roman had been right. Last night wasn’t the time. Too much had happened. Too much had been revealed. Anyone with half a brain could see he had a storm turning in his head.I should’ve been mature about it. Wise. Understanding. But I wasn’t.Last night, I couldn’t be. I’d wanted him shamelessly and desperately. I’d wanted him all day and a selfish part of me didn’t care that my father might be a murderous vigilante with a deranged sidekick.It still stung that this was the second time Roman had turned me down. Both times for good reasons.But both times still hurting anyway.I drifted somewhere between awake and asleep, lying on my side of the bed and staring at the curtains swaying in the sea breeze. Every

  • From Best Friend To Fiancé    I Don’t Need Love

    Chapter 215: I Don't Need LoveReese The sound of the slap reached me before the sting did. A clean, sharp crack that echoed off the wooden walls of the empty courtroom. I let my head turn with it, more out of politeness than pain. I just wanted her to have her moment. To make it seem like something… out of a movie. It wasn’t like I didn’t see it coming. Penelope was predictable that way—reactive, emotional, always performing even when her whole world was catching fire.I straightened slowly, rubbing my jaw with two fingers. “There it is,” I murmured. “I was wondering when you’d get around to that.”Her chest heaved. Her face was blotched red, her eyes wet and wild—equal parts shock and heartbreak. “How can you do this to me?” she whispered, her voice cracking. “Why would you do this to me, Reese? Why?”I exhaled softly. “Penny,” I said, lifting a brow, “you just asked me two questions at once. Which one am I supposed to answer first?”The shocked look she gave me almost made me lau

  • From Best Friend To Fiancé    You Know Why

    Chapter 214: You Know WhyReese Finally, I get to be done with Penelope. Since we’re moving on to more important things, it’s only right I let her know exactly who sends his regards.I set a timer and waited outside the courthouse. Penny was inside, handling another one of her high-profile cases. She’s hoping this one drags the public’s eyes away from the circus she made of the last trial. Fingers crossed she’s actually wearing those panties today. If not, well—there’s always next time. That’s why I brought flowers. If she’s got it on, I’ll give her the message. If she does not, I’ll pretend the bouquet was the whole point.I checked my reflection in the rearview mirror, running my hands through my hair. Probably time for a trim. Or maybe it’s finally time to let go of the dye altogether. I’ve been blond for so long I’m not even sure I’d recognize myself without it. It’s become a part of me.Funny thing is, it started as a rebellion. Everyone in our family has black hair—father, moth

  • From Best Friend To Fiancé    Sounds Beautiful

    Chapter 213: Sounds Beautiful Roman I took a deep breath as I stepped onto the cool, moon-washed sand. The waves crashed in slow, rhythmic pulses—beautiful, steady, calming. Or they should have been. But tonight the sound only sharpened the chaos in my head.I’d been strung tight all day. I thought that maybe walking out here, letting the water kiss my feet, letting the night swallow me whole, would help. But my chest still felt iron-clamped. My mind still churned. My stomach still twisted with something that felt halfway between rage and sickness. I felt… bad. Really bad.I sat down on the sand, dragging a hand down my face as Paula’s voice echoed in my mind, sharp as shrapnel even over the rolling of the waves. The ocean was peaceful. The world was peaceful. But inside me? It was war.God. How did everything get so twisted so fast?All I wanted was simple. A life with Savannah. A place no one could find us—no fathers, no enemies, no ghosts clawing at our backs. A home where our k

  • From Best Friend To Fiancé    Something… Fitting

    Chapter 212: Something… FittingRoman “Did Jace send you after my fiancé?” Savannah asked, her voice sharp enough to cut bone.Paula didn’t hesitate. “No. I doubt he’d want that, considering his daughter is in love with Blackwood’s son. He loves you too much to do anything that'd hurt you.”Savannah stepped forward, jaw set. “Well, newsflash, Paula. You’re not touching him. I won't let you.”Paula laughed. “And what are you going to do? If I decide to take my sweet revenge, Savannah, what can you do to me? I mean, besides your fiancé intervening?” “Don't mess with me. If you dare me, I'll make sure whatever plan my father made with you will never amount to anything. I'll take it as far as I can, Paula. Be warned.” Paula laughed—an ugly, scraped-out sound. “Does your father know about this? Your real father. Does he know that you plan to stand in his way of getting back at The General?” “Yes,” Savannah snapped. “Uncle Jace has met Roman. And he knows Roman is a good man. Whatever y
