Savanah turned her head to look at the hospital and the thought of seeing her brother when she was in so much pain hunted her. She hesitated as she took a step forward and turned back to face the road.
" I can't go in like this. I can't let the doctor or anyone inside the hospital see me this way. " She told herself and immediately stopped another taxi.
She wouldn't let anyone ask her any question that would increase her pain.
While inside the taxi, she thought of where to go. It would be a bad idea if she decided to go home when she was feeling so down and she did not want to risk the state of her mind.
" I should go to Lucy's side instead. " She mumbled and described the location to the driver.
On getting to Lucy's house, she was surprised to see Lucy waiting impatiently in front of her house and she immediately walked over to her.
" Lucy..." She called gently, attracting the attention of the bothered Lucy.
Lucy turned her head abruptly and her eyes lit up the moment she saw Savanah.
" Ah! Savanah, I've been very worried! Are you okay?" She asked with pure concern on her face as she placed her two hands on Savanah's shoulders.
Savanah's eyes twitched and she searched Lucy's eyes. " What are you on about? Did you hear anything or were you thinking I would kill myself?" She asked.
Lucy immediately shook her head and took a step back. " Actually, my friend that went for an interview at Andy's company told me she saw you walk out of the hospital with anger and sadness in your eyes. That scared me and I've been thinking of where to get you but I'm glad you are here right in front of me. " She replied.
" Shall we go in?" Savanah asked after sighing deeply. Hearing Andy's name brought back the sadness she had tried to hide behind her mind and she wanted nothing more than relaxing her head at the moment.
Lucy immediately nodded her head and took Savanah's hand. " Yes, let's go in." She replied and took Savanah's bag as they both entered her house.
She offered Savanah a glass of cold water before sitting down beside her. " Tell me, what did he say? Were you able to tell him about the baby?" She asked.
Lucy knew Savanah had no good news with the mood she saw her in and she was certain something bad had happened but her curiosity still took the best of her and she couldn't help but ask that question.
Savanah let out a sad deep breathe and relaxed her head. She raised her head and closed her eyes. " I told you I didn't want to go. I told you he's no good man and he is nothing but a common dirty piece of trash but you trusted him. " She said and paused.
" You told me to think about my condition and go to him but could you believe that the motherf*cker actually berated me and even called me a liar?!"
" What?!" Lucy exclaimed with her hands covering her mouth. If anyone had told her this, she wouldn't have believed it but the one saying it was her best friend and she knew Savanah would never tell a lie.
Savanah explained all that happened to her and Lucy was so shocked that her mouth opened wide!
" I never knew he is such a lowlife jerk! How could he?! How..." She started cussing but was cut off by the ringing of Savanah's phone.
Savanah checked the caller and her eyes darkened when she realized it was the doctor. " I guess he is calling to talk about money again." She mumbled sadly before answering the call.
" Hello, doctor Kyle..." She said gently.
" Miss Savanah, This is urgent, you have to..."
Savanah dropped her phone and let out a deep breathe. She need not listen to the content to know what the doctor wanted to say. She couldn't end the call but she did not want to talk either. So, the best action was to just drop the phone and let the doctor continue talking to space.
" That's the doctor again? " Lucy questioned no one in particular and her fingers ran through her hair.
She was just as frustrated as Savanah right now and she wished she was rich enough to help her out but unfortunately, she wasn't.
After thinking for a while, a thought came into her head and she smiled.
" I've got a solution..." she mumbled.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Savanah stopped in front of a very big restaurant and gasped. This was the first time she was seeing this restaurant live and she was impressed.
The emotion only lasted for a while before she cleared her throat and strode toward the restaurant while hoping and praying in her heart.
This kind of restaurant wouldn't allow just anyone to enter and that was why Lucy had made sure to dress her up nicely, even applying light make up on her already pretty face to enhance her beauty even more but she was still worried.
She stopped in front of the Securities but they all bowed to greet her before showing her the way which she immediately took after saying some words of gratitude toward the securities.
" The idiot is over there. " She mumbled to herself as her eyes captured the silhouette of Andy entering the restaurant and she immediately increased her pace in order to catch up to him.
" I don't know how Lucy knew he would be here but I'm glad I didn't have to come here for nothing. " She mumbled inwardly as she got closer and closer to Andy.
" Hey Scumbag!" She called irritatedly as soon as she got beside Andy.
" Huh?..." Like he already knew that was his name, Andy turned his head and was shocked to see Savanah trying to steady her breathing as she held on to his suit with sweat dripping down her flustered face.
She looked at his face and was pleased to see how shocked he was to see her there. She held onto his suit tightly, not letting it go at all. “What the hell are you doing? What is the meaning of this?” He asked with anger while staring daggers at her. “I won't let you go! You have to listen to what I want to tell you, if not I promise to create an embarrassing scene here” Savannah looked around her and observed that everyone was trying to mind their business by diverting their gaze to something else. “Are you perhaps insane?!” Andy was irked already, even though he didn't mean to yell, he couldn't help himself. “Okay, let's go upstairs and talk like two mature adults'' He squinted his eyebrows while staring at her. Savannah slowly released his suit and he sighed in relief, then shook his head slightly while climbing the stairs. He walked towards the elevator and waited for her to stand beside him, then pressed the button for the sixth floor, which is the VIP area of his restauran
Savannah did not see that coming, she looked at him intensely to see if he was perhaps joking, but it was useless looking at him because his expression was unfathomable.“What? Are… you serious?” She shuttered with bewilderment.“What else did you want, Huh?” Andy asked with an angry tone. Seriously, he was exhausted of this whole thing. If only if he foresaw having an encounter with her, he would never have made the mistake of coming there.He used his index finger and rubbed his temple because he was starting to feel a headache.“I just asked if you're serious and nothing more” Savannah retorted as she folded her two hands on her chest and stared at him.Andy looked at her before saying, “I am serious, move in with me so that I can watch you closely.If I find out that the child is mine, I will accept it, but otherwise, I will deal with you. “Andy spoke without breaking eye contact with her.“Are you sure about your decision? How am I certain that you won't change your mind tomorrow
Savannah didn't know what to do, she wasn't thinking straight as she ran out of the house. All attempts by her friend to call her back were abortive as she ran quickly. Reaching at the roadside, she stopped a taxi and entered inside it before telling the driver the location of the hospital.She didn't know that she was crying until she felt a salty taste in her lips but that was the least of her worries.Immediately the driver stopped at the hospital, she ran out after paying him and made her way into the hospital.She noticed that some people were staring at her but she didn't care as she ran quickly into the elevator that was crowded with people. She really wished to push the elevator faster so that it could be faster.She was so anxious, she bit her lower lip to stop more tears from flowing down but it was effortless as more tears slipped down her cheeks.Immediately, the elevator opened, she ran to her brother's ward and saw a doctor and nurses running inside it.Out of impulse, s
Lucy stared at Savannah, she wanted to say something when the waiter came and dropped their food on the table and left.“Let's eat.” Savannah said to Lucy with a smile before she picked up her cutleries and started eating.They both ate silently, in the middle of their food, they heard someone call out to Savannah, and they turned abruptly and saw a lady waving at them. She was in her hospital gown and looked very pale.“Hey.” She greeted with great enthusiasm when she reached where they were.“Hey.” Savannah greeted with an awkward smile because she couldn't quite recall where they met.“Don't you remember me? I am Sandra, your colleague at the restaurant.” She explained with a little disappointment in her voice as she sat down in one of the vacant seats beside Savannah.“Oh, Sandra, how have you been? I apologize for not remembering you earlier, I had a lot on my mind.”Savannah responded and took a sip of her juice before keeping it back on the table.“No problem, are you still work
She looked out of the car window and smiled at Lucy, who was still waving at her with a bitter smile. Even when the driver drove off, she kept turning her head to get a glimpse of her friend who was still waving at the moving car, after a while, she turned back to the road with teary eyes as Lucy was no longer in sight.The drive to his place was peaceful as it gave her the opportunity to think about her life, which was about to take a new turn for two possibilities;the better or the worst. She didn't even realize that they'd arrived until the driver came down from the car and opened the car door for her.“Oh! Thank you.”She said while walking out of the car.He brought out her belongings which were in the car truck and helped her carry it into the house. She followed him closely like a little puppy until she heard a feminine voice that startled her.“Good morning Miss, my name is Grace, nice to meet you.”The lady in her mid-forties said, with her hands stretched for a handshake.“Nic
Andy kept scrolling through his tablet as his driver drove the car, he was on the passenger's side of the car and his mind was solely on whatever he was reading.“Sir, we are here.” His driver said as he opened the car door for him to step out.He took his suitcase which was lying behind him and walked out of the car still holding his tablet in his hands, he made his way into his company, and his employees slightly bowed to him in greetings. When he entered into his private elevator, he began to scroll through his tablet again, going through his schedule for the day which his assistant sent to him.The elevator opened and he walked into his office. The minute he sat in his swivel chair, he heard a knock and sighed in annoyance as he knew that it must be his secretary.Nevertheless, he mumbled a come in and the door clicked open, revealing a young lady in her late twenties. She wore a pink suit which made it look very professional. She flashed him a beautiful smile, but he buried his
Andy didn't know the best way to react to what Harry told him. It all sounded like a joke to him, but then he knew that Harry wouldn't be joking about something like that. He cleared his throat, not knowing what to say.“How did it happen?” He managed to ask.“Mr. Jason emailed you through your official line, he said he couldn't get through to you.” Harry replied as he began to scroll through the tablet in his hands.Andy brought out his personal phone from his pants pocket and saw that it was still in an airplane mood, which he had set it last night to avoid being disturbed.“Here.” Harry said as he stretched his hands to show him the message on the screen of his tablet.“Harry, do you think whoever kidnapped her knows her status or is this just for money.” He asked Harry while ruffling his hair.“We aren't sure yet until we investigate properly.” He responded and began to go through his tablet again.Andy's phone rang, and he picked it up immediately, he saw it's Mr. Jason Cherry's
Andy stared at nothingness after the call was disconnected, he only continued with the discussion because he wanted Harry to find the exact location of the place. He observed that the people that kidnapped Cherry weren't professionals at all because Harry was able to track them down in not less than five minutes.That only implies that they might not have been sent by business rivals of Mr. Jason's, if that had been the case, they could have requested that he back off from a particular business deal or give them a certain document. He was glad that it was just for the money.He took his phone and dialed Jason's number, he knew how much the man loved his daughter and wishes to protect her. His wife died while giving birth to her, and he named her after her mother. She had an elder brother who died in an airplane crash ten years back, and since then, Andy took it upon himself to be her big brother.“Hello, they called and asked me to bring ten billion dollars, you know how…” He was stil
For a minute Savannah felt the ground quake and then she leaned on the door frame. Her vision became blurry as she stared at the empty bed in front of her. She badly wants to scream his name but it is as though she lost her voice all of a sudden.As she scoured around the ward with her eyes yet there was no sight of her brother, she felt the ground began to twirl and she closed her eyes tightly."This is indeed a bad dream,I want to wake up."She muttered to herself with her eyes closed."Hello there."A Female nurse said to Savannah who was leaning on the door frame.Savannah slowly opened her eyes and stared at the lady in front of her. She opened her mouth to ask of her brother but her words betrayed her."If the proper medication isn't given to him, he will die at any moment."The doctor's words rang in her head and she closed her eyes again, tears began to flow down her cheeks."What's the matter?" The nurse asked and when she didn't get a reply she helped Savannah to a nearby chair
Andy didn't know where to find Savannah,so he decided to go to the hospital where Lucy is admitted to since Max told him that she's awake already. If there's anyone that he had always prayed never to be on his list of enemies is Douglas.One thing is certain Douglas doesn't know blood relations when he's dealing with people. Andy knows the old man as being cunning and ruthless but still it's been five years now and Douglas has been nothing but a supportive grandfather but right now he isn't sure if he has gone back to being the ruthless man everyone knew him for.Douglas had many cases of kidnapping, murder, illegal sale of organs and women trafficking but yet he hadn't ever been detained instead of that out of the blue someone will confess to being the real culprit and just like that_case closed.Andy ruffled his hair as he kept driving, his mind running on the many things his grandfather might have done to Savannah. Andy hates it that he can't stand against his grandfather no matter
Max looked at Lucy with bewilderment, he couldn't fathom anything. He was muddled, Lucy stared at him without uttering any word at all. He came closer and studied her. Yes, it is obvious that her face doesn't look the same at all but that does not erase the familiarity."Sweetest, don't you remember me?" He asked Lucy who shook her head in response."I am Maximum Hank, don't this name ring a bell." Max asked and came closer and out of impulse, he gave her a tight hug."You don't know how happy I am to see you." Max said when he released her from the hug and he sat down on the chair opposite her."Okay, you have to get one thing straight here, first of all my name is not sweetest and secondly I am Lucy." Lucy said with a soft voice."I don't believe it." Max replied as he looked at her skeptically."That is your business but I am telling you that I haven't meant you before now so please stop fooling yourself. I am not who you think I am." Lucy said with a scowl obviously irritated by w
Andy turned to chase after her but on a second thought he decided against it and it turned to his grandfather who was now pacing around the room as sweat dripped down his forehead, he knew that his grandfather must have known her from somewhere but in that case why all the drama."Grandfather, what just happened? How did you know Savannah?"He yelled at the old man even before he realized he was.He didn't receive a reply from his grandfather who was pacing around the room while ruffling his hair with his right hand and his left hand held his walking staff."Mr Douglas, can you tell me what the hell just happened here! Your silence is making me lose it completely!"He said with annoyance.He was surprised when he saw his grandfather take a bottle of champagne from the table in front of him and throw it against the wall as it let out a shattering sound."What in God's name do you want to hear?!"He blared while hitting his walking staff on the table."And for your information you aren't g
Andy was surprised to see Isobel in his office"Isobel,What in heaven's name brought you here?" He inquired from her with anger.With his peripheral vision he saw Harry and his secretary slowly walk out of his office and closed the door behind them making sure it didn't make a sound.He robbed his temple in annoyance as he stared at the lady standing in front of him."I came to check on you?"She replied while taking a seat in front of him."Isobel,to be frank, I hate this sudden obsession of yours. It's over between us, you ended it yourself, so why are you coming back all of a sudden.''He glared at her with anger in his tone."Baby, I know I wronged you but to be frank, I'm really sorry, please find it in your heart to forgive me,I meant it when I said I love you more than anything and I want us to start all over again."She said in one breath then stood up and smiled at him coquettishly."I know you still love me like you used to."She said in a sexy manner while walking towards him."I
Cherry who has been looking out from her window and saw when Andy left and is now coming inside with a gloomy face was a little stupefied. She knew that he must have met someone that changed his mood.So she decided to go and see for herself the person that made him look so angry. She went towards her wardrobe and took a long jacket and put it on and left.When she went outside, she looked around and saw a car parked not far away from the gate but she didn't see anyone around. "Well, well, well. Are you looking for me?" Isobel asked with a smirk on her face as she stood behind Cherry with her two hands placed on her hips. "Wow, it is a pleasant surprise to see you." Cherry said when she turned around and saw Isobel. "Yeah, I know. The pleasure is all mine. I see that you are still trying to replace me after all this time, well I am not surprised at all " Isobel said as she scrutinized Cherry from head to toe in a very rude manner. "You must be dreaming to think that you ever have a p
Cherry ran towards Andy when she saw him walk out of the dinning area.She knew that she might not have the time to talk to him that night if she didn't do something about it."Andy,can you give me an audience for a few minutes?"She asked in a pleading tone."What do you want to say?"He inquired from her as he turned to face her."Can we go for a walk in the garden? I will talk more freely there." She requested and he fixed his eyes on her for a while before he began to strode out towards his garden and she followed behind him."Andy,do you remember how we used to play together? Right here."She pointed at a spot in the garden but Andy didn't even act interested at all so she had to go straight to the point."Andy,my dad came today." She started as her eyes clouded with tears."I've been a terrible daughter and all I can do is to cry,I left him all alone in the house despite knowing how lonely he feels when I ain't there." She spoke with a quaking voice and after her last word she broke
Savannah was bewildered by the way Cherry's father shouted at her, though she fully supports him for shouting at her after all she deserves even more. How can someone return from an attack according to him and run to a friend's house no matter how she sees that friend of hers, she still could have stayed with her dad for a while at least "What kind of attack could she have survived?"Savannah mumbled to herself and at that instant she wanted to hear more of what Cherry's dad would say."I feel more comfortable here, you know that." She replied and rolled her eyes.She didn't expect what happened next, it took her by surprise because she didn't even know when he raised his hand but then the sudden burning of her cheek made her realize that her dad just slapped her."How dare you say that right to my face that you feel more comfortable in another person's house than your house? Cherry, what have I not sacrificed for you? When you asked me not to marry another wife,I did just that and no
Savannah kept staring at the person that owns the voice but couldn't pinpoint where she met him. Though his face was a little familiar, it was hard to recognize."Don't you remember me?" The man asked her with a scowl."Ahm…" Savannah opened her mouth to talk but nothing came out. She looked around and moved out of his body, she looked at him again and then remembered where she met him."Oh, you are one of our customers, right?" Savannah asked and he only gave her a nod. Savannah looked at him and remembered that he was the customer that she broke his drink but he paid for it and defended her. She felt like slapping herself really hard, how can she forget him. She looked at him and saw him still staring at her without making an attempt to go inside the restaurant."I am sorry for breaking your drink the previous day and thanks for everything." Savannah said with a smile and the man smiled back at her." No problem, why are you leaving so early?" The man inquired with a smile on his li
