Ace and Diamond (ENGLISH) Chapter 1
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
Ace and Diamond (ENGLISH) Chapter 2
"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
Ace and Diamond (ENGLISH) Chapter 5
"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

Savannah gracefully walked down the stairs wearing a red spaghetti-strap floral fitted maxi dress paired with white satin kitten-heel pumps. She likes to dress up, even without any occasion, even if she's just at home. For her, dressing stylishly creates a fierce and intimidating vibe. Especially now, her visitor is no ordinary person."I heard what happened, Sav! Are you alright?"She could barely stop herself from rolling her eyes when she heard the words of her Uncle Marlon's wife, Mathilda. As usual, she was dressed in an extravagant outfit and adorned with jewelry. She arrived early at her Grandpa Salvattier's mansion upon hearing the news about the incident at the company. She's fast to heard it. But why am I surprised? she has eyes and ears in the company. My company."Good morning, Aunt Mathilda," she greeted the woman without a smile. Mathilda approached and kissed her on the cheek, even holding onto her elbows, while Savannah's hands remained at her sides."You are early. Th

She almost gasped! Unlike yesterday, with all-black outfits, he was wearing a white fitted shirt and faded jeans. He looked very casual, not at all like a bodyguard on a secret mission!And he looked so good!"Yes? Do you need something from Grandpa?" she asked, trying not to show that she was mesmerized by his appearance again. But as she looked at her handsome bodyguard and waited for his response, she couldn't help but glance at his face.She noticed that his hair was down, and it looked soft. She felt the urge to comb it to see if it was silky. But of course, no! That couldn't happen, it was just a passing thought! (Your thoughts are unbelievable, Savannah!)"I'm waiting for you, Ma'am."Oh, it's her! That actually surprised her but before she could ask why, she glanced behind him, at one of the household staff—Helen. Savannah remembered her Aunt Mathilda, who was surely waiting in the garden. (I almost forgot.)"Did you come here to escort me downstairs?" she asked Ace. When he n

After Mathilda's visit to Savannah's mansion, her grandfather spoke to her again in the study room to report the fire incident at her company. The work was clean, no traces left. That's what he said. He also showed her the CCTV footage. A dark-skinned man. Completely covered, hardly recognizable. Savannah wondered how he managed to enter her company. It's too suspicious.Savannah knew her grandfather wouldn't overlook this easily, especially since her life was in danger. She immediately thought of her Aunt Mathilda, but this time, her chances of being the culprit, or even her Uncle Marlon, were low. She had a few rival companies, and she had fired employees who did harm to her company.Many could be out to harm her now, and she didn't want to accuse anyone without enough evidence.(But Aunt Mathilda went here because she already knows she's on the list of suspects. There's no other reason. She showed up before being interrogated to avoid looking guilty.)She played with the pen in her

Savannah swallowed nervously because Ace didn't seem to be in a good mood. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly. But wait a minute! She's the boss here, right? Why does he seem to be acting like he's the boss with that question and his current attitude?Savannah straightened up and withdrew her hand, folding her arms in front of Ace."What do you mean, what am I still doing here? This is our mansion. I'm just getting some fresh air. I'm relaxing because that's what my doctor advised."He just returned now. And where did he come from? He didn't inform her. He didn't say he was going anywhere.(But does he need to inform me?)"Don't go out when I'm not around. Even though you're inside the mansion and there are guards, it's still not safe for you to be alone."(What?)She was alarmed by what she heard from Ace. She lowered her hands and approached him."What... what do you mean? Are there enemies here too? Did someone enter the mansion?" she asked rapidly. She also looked around, seeing no o

Ace didn't come back that whole day, and Savannah wanted to ask her grandfather about the man. She spent almost the entire day outside, waiting for Ace's return. She walked around the mansion with Marina following her. She's in the backyard. It was windy, and it made her feel better, so she kept walking.Her secretary never left her side, just as her grandfather had instructed. She didn't work today either because she was banned from her own office and her doctor had advised her to rest. The whole day she was just walking, watching the birds fly. She was holding her phone, but she didn't have anything to do with it.She's bored."Ma'am Savannah, it's almost five in the afternoon, would you like something to drink? Hot chocolate? Milk?"She just raised her hand to stop Marina. She also doesn't need someone who will take care of her. She's already feeling fine."Go back home, Marina. Tomorrow, come early to the company and tell the board members that I'll be back next week to talk to th
Ace and Diamond (ENGLISH) Chapter 16
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
Ace and Diamond (ENGLISH) Chapter 15
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 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,"
Ace and Diamond (ENGLISH) Chapter 13
Savannah woke up with a pounding headache. She slowly sat up, recalling what happened. She glanced at her right hand and noticed an IV attached to it. It seemed she had lost consciousness after the attack. This was one of her problems while living in Hawaii; whenever she experienced an anxiety attack, she sometimes lost consciousness. But her Nana Pransya was always by her side to take care of her, along with her butler. But this time... who was with her?She then looked around, immediately searching for her Nana Pransya. But her gaze stopped when she saw who was sitting and sleeping on the nearby sofa.It wasn't her Nana... but Ace, her personal bodyguard. He was sitting there, slouched over, while asleep. Savannah felt a pang in her heart as she looked at him. He hadn't even laid down on the long sofa. He was sitting as if waiting for her to wake up."Did he stay here? since... yesterday?"As she whispered to herself, she suddenly looked at her bedside table, at her clock, and saw t

The old Williamson's voice was full of sadness, he felt hopeless while looking at his granddaughter. There was pity in his eyes as he watched Savannah clenching her fists, tears welling up."Did you agree to let me come back because you've accepted that my parents' case is going to be closed? That's why you're not as afraid anymore to make me come back."He shook his repeatedly. But that's what came to Savannah's mind. Also, her grandfather made her the CEO, after the threats her late father received before. She smiled faintly and slightly bowed her head."You transferred the company in my name after I came back, grandpa. How can you make me believe that right now?""Savannah, you are the only person I trust! I need someone trustworthy to handle my wealth, and I believe you can manage it now. You've grown brave, smart, and not easily influenced by anyone. I trust you more than anyone else, even though your Uncle Marlon knows more about the company, I trust you.""And this is also my w

Savannah shut her laptop down after hearing her secretary's purpose for rushing to the mansion early in the morning. It was only 9:30 am when she arrived, and she appeared less troubled than before, but her face still showed irritation."If they want to see me, then they should set a meeting, Marina. One by one. I can't just go to the company and meet all of them. They knew my rules. I don't just face a crowd of people. What changed their decision now, and why do they want me to attend after the incident?" Savannah's patience was tested early in the day. The board of directors wanted to discuss the fire incident at the company, and of course, her grandfather was part of the discussion. But she knew he wasn't one of those who wanted her to go to the company.Her secretary even shared the desires of some other directors. While most of them were on her side, there were a few still siding with her Aunt Mathilda. It was baffling how they still believed Mathilda could manage the company be
Ace and Diamond (ENGLISH) Chapter 10
Every time Savannah attempts to expose herself to the crowd, or even just in the company lounge where the employees are, as per her psychiatrist's consent, she really can't handle it. Her whole body starts to shake, she doesn't even realize she's having difficulty breathing, and her vision starts to blur. All she can think about is that at any moment, someone will attack her.What happened in the past still haunts her. Sometimes, when she closes her eyes, she sees her parents' bloodied bodies."It takes time, Ma'am Savannah, your condition is not easy," her secretary said with concern. She nodded and took the spoon."Yeah, but I should try... I need to try harder," she replied.Savannah glanced at the spoon, her eyes fixed on the plastic utensil, and a memory suddenly flashed in her mind. The scene where Ace held her hand and fed her."M-Ma'am, why? Is the spoon dirty?" Marina asked, picking up the dropped spoon and promptly throwing it in the trash.Savannah took a deep breath, shoo
