Taming the Arrogant Billionaire

Savannah's povI smoothed down the skirt of my black dress for the hundredth time while keeping my posture perfectly rigid. I felt entirely out of my element in a gown and I would choose my pants and t-shirt over this any day, but for the sake of my parents, I had to attend this gala.We were in the corner of the ballroom, which was filled to the brim with billionaires of all walks of life, who were dressed elegantly in insanely expensive clothes, trying to look better than the other.To my left, my parents stood facing Richard and Eleanor Montgomery, and the two families looked totally different. My father was hard, his hands calloused and his face lined by decades of hard, honest work under the scorching sun, while Richard Montgomery, on the other hand, was sharp and possessed a cold aura that made me want to avoid him at all costs. His hands were smooth, a clear sign he had never had to experience hard labor.“The final deeds are officially locked in the escrow account,” Richard Mon

Savannah’s POV“Move!” I yelled, having little time to react as I quickly dived out of their way. I had barely taken a breath of relief when I turned to see Julian, who was still frozen on the spot and he stood directly in their path.He was completely still with a frightened expression on his face as he watched the cattle come closer and closer to where he was standing.“Julian! Move!”I yelled but seeing he wasn't reacting but remained standing still as if frozen in place, I didn’t think before I sprang into action. I threw my entire weight into him, grabbed his clothes and hurled him out of the way, just in time before the herd passed the spot where he had been standing.We slammed into the dirt together from the impact. Julian was panting beneath me with his chest heaving frantically. Julian's face was pale and at this close range, I could feel his heavy heartbeat.“Are you trying to get yourself killed?” I yelled over the noise of the herd, as I scrambled to my feet. “Get up! They

Julian’s POVMy muscles burned with a fierce agony that I had never experienced in my entire life as every single pull of those stubborn maize stalks sent a jolt of pain straight up my forearms and into my shoulders, making me feel like I was going to pass out at the slightest push.I was tempted to give up, a lot of times, but the thought that my funds were still in my parents' hold made me continue pushing forward.“Just snap it against the joint,” I muttered under my breath, mimicking her mocking tone while I forcefully yanked another corn and tossed it into the wooden bin. The bin was barely half full, despite the fact that I’ve been working for hours nonstop.After a while, I decided to take a break. I leaned against a fence and took a few deep breaths, looking over the field where the other workers were busy working, far away from me. I scanned the surroundings but Savannah was nowhere to be found. After she had walked away hours ago, I thought she would be back soon enough, but

Savannah’s POVI took one last look at the mirror as I marveled at my dress. It was a black dress that was simple and yet, absolutely stunning. It was an off shoulder dress that was fitted at my waist and then flowed down to the floor with a slit at the side.I let my hair down in waves, wild and untamed, letting it settle at the middle of my back. I applied just a touch of light makeup, to complete my look but keep it natural at the same time. I was out of my element here, playing dress-up, but even I knew I looked absolutely stunning.Satisfied, I took a deep breath, grabbed my purse and headed out of my room.Walking down the stairs, I saw that Julian was waiting at the bottom. He was dressed in a sleek, black tuxedo that hugged his broad shoulders perfectly. His dark and messy hair
