Chapter 33. The Orphanage
Ari continues questioning Leo.
When was the last time you called Savannah?
When she was in Brahma, I got her number from Sheila. Seen her at Stanford, attending a pediatrician conference. I was there because one of my tech guys' sons needed a blood transfusion; I donated blood. I called her, and she was excited to hear from me. She said to contact her anytime, but I was so busy building my business, I failed to do so.
How about when she left for California?
Yes, she called me to let me know that she was immigrating to California with her children. Sheila was under the care of her sister then. I learned that Sheila was able to

My Ruthless General Chapter 35. Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a mental state of highly focused concentration, awareness, and heightened suggestibility. There are numerous techniques that experts employ for inducing such a state. Hypnosis is often used to help people relax, to diminish the sensation of pain, or to facilitate some desired behavioral change.The more Ari read about hypnosis, the more he was convinced that Savannah needed hypnotherapy to relax her mind. Once relaxed, Sav's mind is more open to transforming formative messages.I need to talk to the therapist first, Dr. Steven, before I approve this process.That is the procedure. As her husband, you will approve the process before we can go to that length of treatment. Dr Steven r

My Ruthless General Chapter 37. Happy Times
Hello Mrs de la Lucca, I am Jean, a hypnotherapist. Do you know why you're here? Hi Dr. Jean, Yes, my husband told me about you, and this meeting. Call me Savannah, please! Good, I wanted us to be on the same page as you and your husband, Ari. Yes, of course. Ari explained to me the purpose of this treatment. What do you do? Savannah? I worked in the Finance Dept of Aztec Intl. as a bookkeeper and payroll assistant. I am a novelist and an aspiring photographer. My work was with National Geographic. I played violin for our town's symphony orchestra when we had a community concert 4 times a year. That is awesome! Now, please tell me something about the time you met your husband Ari. Let us start with that part of your life. Ari and I started on the wrong foot. I met him when I was walking on the beachfront one morning. His assistant invited me to join his boss, a military officer. I refused because I found it arrogant. Then his a
My Ruthless General Chapter 38. Heart to Heart Conversation
Ari knew that I loved walking on the beachfront; it calms me. He asked me to meet him at 6 am the next day to have a heart-to-heart conversation with him. I am a morning person; I guess he knew that already; otherwise, he would not have asked me to see him that early. I have a feeling that he checked my background, talked to my friends, and hovered on my F******k. Ari is a high-ranking military officer in CN county. That is how I see him, aside from the noise I've heard from the grapevine. Ari was widowed for many years, and had no woman by her side; maybe he was gay. I was laughing out loud in my mind. This arrogant and self-absorbed guy would like to meet with me. I wonder why? Okay, continue Sav. Can I call you Sav? Yes, of course. Everyone calls me Sav. It was a lovely sunrise at 6 am, a little chilly and breezy. I wore my greyish alpaca overblouse with a pale pink undershirt and white knee-length cargo shorts paired with cream knitted espadrille. Ari was
My Ruthless General Chapter 39. Coping with her pain
Does he know about your insecurities?I don't know. We don't talk about it.But, he always let me feel secure. He was very attentive to me and concerned about little things that bothered me. He talked to my family too and let them know how he felt about me. He was not shy, he was very confident and authoritative, maybe because he held the highest post in the military at CN country, Savannah chuckles.Can I ask you a very personal question?Sure, I will try to answer the best that I can.Do you love him as a person who loves you or as a general who commands authority in the country that you live in?I love him as Ari, not as General Ari.Thank you for being honest.As Ari was listening in the other room, his heart melted. He looked at Savannah passionately and whispered... "you're the love of my life, Sav. Thank you for loving me."Let's continue with our conversation about your parents.Okay! Sav, where are your p
My Ruthless General Chapter 40. I will help you Heal
Ari's POVI can not change the past, it was a huge mistake, but I can help my wife start a new chapter and I will make sure it will be a happy ending. It was scary to know that Savannah had slipped into a coma. It made me realize how important it was to tell her how much I adore and love her. I created an invisible scar on her heart and it will be there forever. That scar will make us stronger and will remind us that life is short and we should value each other more. I was reckless. I don't even know why I did what I did. I was given a second chance and I will make sure that I do not waste it. It was heaven last night. We fell asleep holding each other tight as if we were both scared we might lose each other. I lost you many many years ago, but this time I will not allow that to happen. I believe that people who are meant to be together find their way back, as I found you again. We experienced a lot of detours, but we were never lost. I promised to make it up to you.A
My Ruthless General Chapter 41. Camp Roberts Army Base
Alfred and Ben are having lunch with Lieutenant Coronel Roger Matthis at the cafeteria of the Army base in Monterey. Camp Roberts is a California National Guard post in central California, located in Monterey. This camp is a training center under the leadership of Lt Cor Matthis, who was a good friend and classmate of Ari at West Point Academy in Virginia.Ari was a soft-spoken man, a brilliant strategist, and a good friend. He was never interested in women when we were in the academy. I was really sad when he was forced into a loveless marriage after graduation. I admired him for continuing the relationship until his wife died of cancer. And now you're telling me that he found his first love and is married. Well...that's good news. Finally, I will be happy for him. I followed his career until he became a 5 star. I was so proud. He was so brave to smash the Hongkong triad. Good strategy and planning. It was in the military news since he came from West Point. Roger brag.
