FAZER LOGINSavannah’s POV“I don’t think you would want to see this, leave me alone!” Julian snapped as he tried to move away.I stared at him, hardly believing that the same guy who’d been so bent on making things work between us, was now pushing me away, when something was clearly wrong. If it was a personal letter, I wouldn’t even bat an eyelash but this? I needed to know!“Excuse me?” I said, my voice dropping into a dangerous tone, my temper flaring to life. “Do not use that tone with me, Julian. You don’t get to yell at me on important matters like this. Let me see that phone.”“Savannah, please,” he muttered in a slightly trembling voice like he was trying to get hold of his bearings. “Just give me a second to think and like I said, you don’t need to see this. It’s just a bunch of trash media try
Julian’s POVAn unsettling feeling filled me. I reached for my coffee and took a nervous sip, watching Katherine walk away. The night was going perfectly and boom, it was ruined before I even realized it.I looked across the table at Savannah, panic rising. She was sitting perfectly still, her face blank and unreadable, her eyes fixed on her glass of tea.Realizing she might be mad at me, I became even more unsettled because I didn’t want to ruin the little connection we had managed to build. Damn, I never expected to see Katherine and although we had a past together, it meant nothing now because it was years ago.“Savannah,” I began hurriedly, as I leaned towards her. “Listen to me. I need to explain. Whatever Katherine said... whatever she was trying to imply b
Savannah’s POVThe ride back to the estate passed in silence, and the limited conversation once we got home went the same way, ignored by both of us.For the next two days, I tried hard to forget the kiss we had but my brain seemed to be stuck on it and the fact that Julian didn’t see it as a thing only made me think harder.By the third afternoon, Martha was back with another suggestion on where we needed to go as per our parents’ request, to show how happy and in love that we were.“The public expects to see the young newlyweds enjoying the local cuisine, Madam,” she had said with a knowing smile.So, there we were.The cafe was beautiful, perched on a cliffside, cozy in
Savannah’s POVFor a moment, I couldn’t breathe.The touch was electric, a jolt of heat shooting straight to my very core as his lips moved against mine, and slowly, I felt the world melt away.His lips moved against mine, my eyes fluttering shut again against my will, my fingers instinctively gripping his jacket as his tongue swept into my mouth. I didn’t know what I was doing but a whimper escaped me as his tongue met mine and began to explore every corner of my mouth, making me weak in the knees.While still in the trance, I heard a roaring cheer from the witnesses, followed by the multiple clicking of cameras, as they all hurriedly captured the moment.When Julian finally pulled back, my mind was spinning in a chaotic fog, an
Savannah’s POVThings went extremely well, which carried over to the next day where we sat on the balcony, eating some fruit and just enjoying each other’s company.“I am just saying, Montgomery, your form with the tennis racket yesterday was absolutely tragic,” I teased, leaning back in my chair to look at him. “You looked like you were fighting for your life.”Yesterday, we had gone to play some tennis and his moves made me burst into a fit of laughter. Even now, I was still cracking up by just remembering.Julian barked out a laugh as he shook his head.“I am an analyst, Savannah, not an athlete. Besides, I would love to see you try to navigate a whole day in a dress and some heels and only then, would you be in the right place to mock me.”“Fair enough,” I said, biting back a smile.By afternoon, Martha made mention of another event we were expected to attend and the fact that our parents weren’t addressing us by themselves was annoying but we couldn’t complain.I let out a sigh,
Julian’s POVWhen I woke up the next morning, I felt better than I have ever felt for the longest time.Not long after, while I was by the balcony and composing a text to Leon about our outstanding deal, Savannah came to join me. She looked beautiful, as always, in a sundress with her hair flowing down in waves after her.“Julian,” she said as she came to stand beside me. “Martha mentioned yesterday that the estate library down the corridor holds a good collection of books, and I want to go check it out. Would you come with me?”I blinked, slightly caught off guard by the invitation, but I quickly nodded. “Sure. Lead the way, wifey.”The estate library was magnificent, with massive shelves that were as hig
Julian’s POVI spent the next three hours doing all sorts of things to take my mind away from the altercation with Savannah, which for some reason, was messing with my head. I shoveled manure until my hands and shoulders were sore, but even
Julian’s POVFor the first time since my parents froze my bank accounts and shipped me off to Spokane, I didn't wake up feeling like a prisoner or like an unwanted child.While I dressed up
Savannah’s POVI didn’t know how, but we got along long enough to go out without snapping at each other. That night after the party, we remained on good terms, even when we drove back to the house.
Savannah’s POVWhen the men joined us, I was forced to keep everything I wanted to say to Julian to myself, at least until after they left.“We are enjoying it immensely, Gregory,” I replied smoothly, leaning into Julian's side with a smile. “The ambiance is just lovely, and my husband has been abs
