Savannah, rush to the bathroom, take a long warm dip in the bathtub. She was so angry, sad and felt humiliated. Then she heard a knock on the door. Who is it? Mam Sav, it's me, Manang Lucy. Yes, Manang! What is it? Sir Ari called to please answer the phone. Savannah did not respond.
Manang Lucy, what is happening there? She responded to my call, but she didnt say that she was going to pick up her phone.
That's okay. Please keep an eye on her Manang Lucy.
I will, Sir Ari. Manang Lucy responded.
Ari called Gen Cruz, Torres and Ben. I wanted you guys to keep a surveilance on Matilda. She barged into my office when I was having lunch with my wife. Adela was on a break. She made a scene in front of us, and cried her heart out about my relationship with her.
Relationship? Ben asks.
Yes, I don't understand what she was talking about. Savannah was pissed off. She left in a hurry and went home. I did not have any relationships with any women even bef
Ari went home drunk. He decided to sleep on the couch in their bedroom so Savannah would not be disturbed by her peaceful slumber. He doesn't want Savannah to smell his breath reeking with alcohol. He woke up the following day with a headache. Sav had made up their bed already, and she was nowhere to be found. Manang Lucy, where's my wife? She left early with Edwin. Ari called Ben to text Edwin their location. On it, Sir. Edwin responded. Sir, I have been texting Edwin for half an hour, and he is not responding. This is not like him. I have a bad feeling about this. Locate the vehicle, Ari command Ben. Will do, Sir! Ben said. After half an hour... Sir, the vehicle is at the Butterfly Farm. I tried to call the owner but to no avail. It says on their website that the farm is closed for one week. Get some plain clothes officer on the site right away! Boss, you may not like this! What is it, Ge
Sir, Dr. Zola is waiting at the hospital. Good! Speed up Mark! Savannah is losing blood. Checking blood pressure and pulse. BP 140/80 Pulse 90 She is doing well in General Ari. Benjo announced. Thank God! Ari said. Per our GPS, ten more minutes to the ER. They are on standby General. Here we are... Savannah was brought at speed by Benjo and Majel, the paramedics, to the ER. Dr. Zola was waiting. Vitals, please! Everything is alright, Dr. Zola. Where is this blood coming from? She was stabbed in her thigh. Dr Zola said. After 30 minutes, Dr. Zola went out of the operating room. How's my wife, Dr. Zola? She's OK now. We put stitches on her right thigh. Her blood pressure is OK for now, but we need to monitor her for 24 hours. Was she shot or stabbed? Ari asks Dr. Zola. It's a knife, not a gun; she's out of danger. I think was traumatized. I gave her a sedative to keep her relaxed an

One Sunday morning, after church service, Mayor Santi and Ari met at the church entrance.Hey Ari, long time no see! Congratulations on a job well done. I am sad you're retiring, but happy because you found the one.Hello Savannah! Santi chuckles.Thank you, Mayor Santi. Ari responded.Hi Mayor Santi, it's been a while since we bumped into each other here in the church. Savannah said.Yes, we changed our time to attend mass because of our toddler. We had to wait for her nanny in the morning.By the way, Ari, I would like to host a dinner for you and Savannah a week before you leave. I will invite our friends to the community. Mayor Santi said.It is not necessary. I would like to downplay my retirement and personal life. I don't want a repeat of what happened to Sav. I would say a private dinner will do.If you wish, let me know your availability, so I can plan it. An exclusive dinner for close-knit friends. My wife and I are s
I heard their names in the past from my father, but I haven't met them. I remember my brother meeting them once at a family gathering. I was then away pursuing my college education in the city. How do they know me, Ari?I will ask them today, Sav. I didn't know that your name had been exposed already. Few people knew about our marriage unless one or two of our guests spread it out. I made an announcement then that your name should not be attached to mine for your protection. We discussed that, remember? I am so looking forward to leaving this country so we can go out freely. I don't mean to hide you, but this is the only way to protect you. You understand me, don't you?Yes, I do. Savannah said.
It's been nice to meet my extended military family. This was my first time attending such an occasion. I met my aunts, my uncle's sisters, and Uncle Tim and Uncle Rex's wives and children. They welcomed me with open arms. Aunt Eden is Uncle Tim's wife and a good cook. She told me to learn how to cook and be a gracious host. She never worked her entire life because she dedicated her life to being the wife of a military general. They hosted many parties in the past when Uncle Tim was still in the force. When he retires, they travel all over the globe but still host parties once or twice a year.Aunt Mimi is Uncle Rex's wife. She worked for a while, but she quit two years after marrying Uncle Rex. The demands of being a military wife overwhelmed her. She was able to adapt after a while. She also hosted parties, picnics, and office events. However, due to pressure, she developed an anxiety disorder. When Uncle Rex retired from the force, they started to farm grapes and other frui
After the early dinner, we had to keep going. Tomorrow will be another challenging day. The Medical Volunteer Initiative will have a meeting to discuss the logistics. Ari told me to attend. Edwin will pick me up at 2 pm. He had a lunch meeting with the bankers' association. I spent the whole morning draftingthe schedule for discussion at the meeting.Then, I received a call from Uncle Rex. He apologizes for Uncle Tim's behavior. Among us siblings, your Uncle Tim was the one in contact and had a complicated relationship with your father. Though there were difficulties in their professional lives, they still connected, talked, and yelled at each other. It's a case of love and hate. He always quarrels with your father and does want to give in, even if your father was right. He felt obligated to protect you because he failed to do that for your father. Both of them were stubborn and their pride was always getting in their way. He thought that by protecting you, he was conne
