Savannah

After the fight between Leo and Noah at campus became yet another viral topic, I knew it was only a matter of time before my father called me back home. Although he didn’t say why I was being needed at home, I could make a few guesses.

It was the weekend and the drive to the Ford estate felt longer than usual. Maybe it was because my head was still spinning from everything that happened on campus. Leo’s fight with Noah, the way everyone stared, it was all replaying in my mind like an ugly highlight reel I couldn’t turn off.

The drive back to the estate felt longer than it should have. I kept staring out the tinted window, trying not to let my nerves show to the driver who kept glancing at me in the rearview mirror like he was checking for cracks.

The moment the car rolled past the tall iron gates, I could feel it almost instantly, something was different. The air around the Ford estate always carried that sharp scent of manicured lawns and order, but today it felt… heavier.

    SavannahI didn’t even think as I made my way to the garage. There was no time to explain or wait for a cab. Luckily, my father always kept some keys in the garage. His voice was still ringing in my ears, but it was drowned out by the sound of my heartbeat. Noah’s voice from that call had frightened me. It was faint, broken, and had carved itself into my chest. ‘Help, Sav.’ And then nothing.The butler called after me, confused, but I was already halfway down the hall, my phone pressed hard against my ear as I called one of Dad’s IT guys.“I need you to track a phone. Now,” I said, my voice shaking but leaving no room for argument. “It’s urgent.”There was a pause, then a quick, “Send me the number.”I did as I jumped into the black Ferrari, barely able to keep my breathing steady. Every second felt like a year.“He’s in the East District,” the tech finally said as I sped off. “Looks like near the old warehouses by Bay Street.”The drive was a blur, and the whole time, my eyes stayed

  • Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife   Deal Gone Wrong

    NoahThe echo of Savannah’s voice wouldn’t leave my head. Maybe Leo was right. ‘I made a mistake thinking you were any different.’Those words stung more than any punch I’d taken in my life, and I decided it was time to end this, if not for me, at least for her. I had to make sure she didn’t become a victim of the dangerous choices I made for myself.I walked with my hands stuffed in my hoodie pocket, my hood up, and my head low, replaying the fight in my head, the look she gave me before she walked away. I could tell she was deeply disappointed, and I don’t know why, but that cut deeper than I could imagine. She wanted me to be something better. Someone better. But here I was, heading straight into the kind of mess she’d been begging me to leave behind.I told myself this wasn’t about me. This was about her. If I could get them to back off, maybe she’d see I was trying. Maybe I could still pull myself out of this before it was too late.My stomach was a knot as I continued walking, m

    NoahThe frat house was buzzing when I got back. The music was still blasting loudly from the living room speakers, and the air smelled like cheap beer and weed. A couple of the guys were sprawled on the couches, shouting over some video game.I’d barely stepped inside when Ryan smirked at me from across the room. “Yo, Noah,” he called out, his voice dripping with sarcasm, “what did that skank want?”The word hit me like a punch to the gut, and before I even thought about it, I crossed the room in three strides, grabbed him by the collar, and slammed him against the wall. The sound of his back hitting the plaster made the whole room go quiet and turn in our direction.My chest was heaving loudly, like any moment now, my heart could explode. I could feel the blood pounding in my ears as I shot him an intense gaze. “Say that again,” I growled, my voice low but sharp enough to cut.Ryan’s smirk suddenly vanished. His eyes went wide, darting to the guys around us. “Yo, chill, man.”“Chill

    SavannahThe air outside Noah’s frat house felt heavier than the fight itself. There were people everywhere, flashing their phones with their voices overlapping in a storm of whispers that followed. I could feel the heat on my face as I stood there, partly from embarrassment and partly from anger.The pictures were already spreading around. I could see the smirks, the curious glances, and didn’t need anyone to tell me that this was bad, really bad.I looked straight at Noah, and something shifted within me. He was standing there, chest rising and falling fast, his jaw tight from the fight. The mere sight of him right now was so disappointing, I couldn’t help but shake my head, slow and deliberate, letting him know exactly how much this disappointed me. I didn’t wait for him to speak. I just turned and started walking.My heels hit the pavement harder than I meant them to, but I wasn’t going to slow down. I needed space. I needed to breathe.“Savannah!”I heard him behind me, his voice

    Leo“You think you can walk in here, threaten me, and just leave?” Noah’s voice echoed loudly behind me as I made my way towards the door. His tone was sharp and cocky. “I’ll do whatever I feel like. And if you show up here again, it won’t end well for you.”I stopped and couldn’t help but chuckle softly. Then a slow smirk crept onto my face.Turning back, I walked toward him with steady steps, closing the space between us. His friends shifted in the background, all puffed up like they were ready for a show, but I kept my eyes locked on his.“I’m here now,” I said, my voice low but sharp. “So… what are you going to do?”Noah’s friends started clapping and egging him on. “Whoop his ass, Noah!” one shouted. Another laughed like they’d just been handed the best entertainment of the night.Noah hesitated, and I could see it. For all his talk, there was a flicker of doubt in his eyes.“Savannah wouldn’t want this,” he said finally.I scoffed and took a step back with a disappointed look. I
