Savannah gazed at her bodyguard for a few seconds, and just as she was about to pull away, Ace suddenly grasped her waist and drew her closer."W-What..." she exclaimed, taken aback as she found herself held firmly in his strong arms. His gaze had changed, the look of respect replaced by a smirk. Savannah felt his grip tighten around her waist."You are really stubborn. Aren't you afraid of your health? You're weak, aren't you?" he questioned her. As much as she enjoyed being this close to him, she felt a twinge of fear. What if he could hear the rapid beating of her heart?"I am not feeling weak. Do I look weak to you in this condition? This IV..." She raised her hand and forecfully removed while still held close by Ace. After she was done she brought it to her face."Fck, Savannah!" he scolded her, but she just smiled and gently caressed his cheek."I don't get sick easily. What happened is normal for me; I'll be fine after some rest. So, don't worry too much about me, bodyguard,"
Savannah thought it would end with just a few kisses from her handsome bodyguard, but it turned out differently. He then went back and kissed her lips. This time, it wasn't slow like before. She matched Ace's lip movements as they kissed."Open your mouth, baby..." he whispered after pulling away from their kiss for a moment, and Savannah, not following anyone's lead because she was actually giving the orders, parted her lips in response.She obeyed. She opened her mouth for him. And then Ace resumed kissing her, going for her tongue, invading her mouth."H-Hmmm..."And while he kissed her, his hands slipped inside her nightwear. Savannah gasped and pulled on the man's hair when she felt his palms on her thighs, moving upward.Everything was happening so fast while they kissed. She didn't even notice that she wasn't wearing her bra anymore. In an instant, Ace stripped her of all her garments."Fckng beautiful..." the man looked at her with desire. She was silent, unable to believe tha
Savannah was the only one who knows what happened—about her dream, yet she felt like many others knew about it. That's how she felt now, out of sheer embarrassment. She couldn't believe she had that kind of dream.She had never fantasized, not even about celebrities! And there were many handsome men who tried to get her attention and wanted to court her. She never ever had a dream like this before!(It was wild. And I can't believe I'm even saying what I wanted Ace to do!)Several minutes of silence passed. Savannah kept scolding herself in her mind because of that dream. She still couldn't believe it. She didn't even watch hot romance movies! or read steamy stories! and she also never had her first kiss.(Even in my dreams! I haven't!)Her attraction to the man was just too much.(But I am not that desperate!)In those last thoughts she had, Savannah wondered if she really wasn't. In the past few days, she had been sneaking glances at her bodyguard. Also, she got annoyed when she saw
Savannah Arabella WilliamsonChapter 1"Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are..."Eight-year-old Savannah happily sings. She's in a room on the second floor of their mansion, waiting for her mother. Her mom said she would just finish cleaning the kitchen. Every night, her mom sings to her to help her sleep, but she hasn't come yet."Teddy bear bear, should I go to mom? She's not here yet."Savannah looks out the window, and it's raining heavily. She's scared of the thunder and lightning. She covers her ears when she hears a loud thunder.She sings her favorite nursery rhyme, the one her mom sings to comfort her from the fear of thunder and lightning."T-Twinkle, twinkle little star—She stops singing when she hears another loud thunder. She can't handle her fear anymore. She stands up, takes her teddy bear, and decides to go to her mom herself because she's scared."Mama?"She's halfway down the stairs when she stops. She drops her teddy bear when she sees her parent
"How was your sleep, Savannah?"After having breakfast, her grandfather invited her to the veranda to talk."It's good. Aren't you going to the company today?"She really wanted to ask about his company, to know if he had decided to give her work. She wasn't used to having nothing to do; it had been two weeks of being bored in the mansion. Surely, that wasn't her grandfather's plan for her?(I don't want to be confined here; if that's what he wants, I'll just go back to Hawaii and continue my work.)"I am on leave, Savannah. It seems you don't want to see or talk to me? Since you came back, I've been busy with the company. Today is the only day we have a chance to talk properly."Her grandfather's tone hinted at hurt from her previous words. But she knew he was just seeking sympathy."I haven't forgotten what you did to bring me home, grandpa. That's not nice; you know you're my only family. I panicked, thinking something had happened to you."Salvattier scowled at her, and she knew h
Savannah leaned back in her swivel chair. It had been two months since the company was transferred to her name and it’s been three months since she arrived in the Philippines. Now, being the new CEO was exhausting. Aside from talking to the heads of each department, she also discovered something that greatly frustrated her."What do you mean, Savannah? Are you accusing me of stealing money?"That was her uncle's response when she asked him about the biggest problem recently. She wasn't accusing him. She just wanted to know if her uncle was aware of the significant amount of money disappearing from the company. But his immediate reaction made it seem like he was guilty.Savannah shook her head. There were so many irregularities happening in Williamson Company, so what was her uncle talking about, saying that he did everything for the sake of their company?Moreover, her grandfather knew that people were stealing money, yet he remained silent. When she mentioned the enormous amount of
Savannah had no idea she was guarded because her grandfather hadn't mentioned anything. And now, she wanted to know more about her bodyguard! After all, who would have thought that the muscular man was actually a bodyguard when he looked like a famous model?(Ace, huh? that's his codename only.)"His eyes are so sharp, his jaw so firm that it makes me want to touch it. He's like the male lead described in famous novels."He drove her home to their mansion and had already called her grandfather. He didn't say anything else and just focused on the road. But Savannah could feel that the man knew she had been watching him since they left the company.That's right! She had already forgotten what happened at her company and who might be behind it because her handsome bodyguard had captured all her attention."If you have been guarding me since I arrived here in the Philippines, how come I didn't know about you and your team? Shouldn't I have been informed that a security team was assigned t
"You are here."When Savannah heard her grandfather's voice, she quickly moved away from her bodyguard. She also fixed herself, but her rapidly beating heart still hadn't calmed down. She couldn't believe she would feel this attraction to a man she just met!She had seen many men who were better-looking than him. There were also men who tried to get her attention, business partners of her family, but despite their good looks, none of them caught her interest.(But this man is different. He hasn't done much, yet he can make my heartbeat this fast.)(Maybe because he's too close?)It's normal to get closer! Since he just wants to help!(Don't be so affected, Savannah! And you're being so obvious.)"Savannah? Are you okay?"She returned to reality when her grandfather came closer and touched her arm. She looked up and saw his worried face."I-I'm sorry, what is it, Grandpa?" she asked. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ace standing there. His hands were placed in front, and he stood
