Chapter 005

Dane:

It has been four years since Maggie reported to have found Savannah with another man and also at a hospital to get an abortion and I haven't seen Savannah since then.

After waiting for two weeks for her to come begging for me to take her back in, there was still no sign of her anywhere no matter how much I looked.

At one point, I believed she could have died during the abortion process so I went for a confirmation at the hospital where she was found. But when I got there, the doctors found no report of a woman who died through an abortion process or one who came for an abortion at all.

The last time they got an abortion patient was six months before my time of visit, so I grew even more confused and anxious.

I went back again to find out if there was a report of Savannah Walker coming for any treatment or checkup at all but I found nothing as well. The only answer was the fact that she could have checked in using the guy's name or she didn't check in at all. I was sure it was the former as I believe Maggie would never lie to me. Thus, for the past four years I did everything I could to find her but she was nowhere to be found.

"We're here, Dane!" Maggie's voice slipped into my train of thoughts and I looked out of the tinted glass of the car before getting off.

Maggie remained in the car, expecting me to be a gentleman and get the door for her but I was far lost in thought to remember the gentlemanly act. I simply strolled towards the entrance of the huge 5-star michelin as they were here to eat and nothing more.

After a few seconds, she was beside me, panting and glaring at me in frustration and disbelief.

"How could you leave me to myself in the car and proceed to go in like I'm not your bride. Like I'm invisible?" She whined and I sighed inwardly.

Here we go... Again.

"We're not even married yet, plus you have hands don't you? I do this for you everyday, you should know I'm not in the mood to have acted that way" I told her as I pushed the glass door open and stepped in with her following right behind me.

"Still! Dane. It was insulting" she insisted but I said nothing.

"It's only insulting when there are witnesses" I eventually added and a waiter ushered us to an empty table.

"I want steak, Dane. Their most expensive one. Would you get it for me?" Maggie suddenly demanded and I frowned, my eyes boiling with disbelief at how vulgar she sounded right now.

"Just a plate costs more than a thousand dollars and you want it? And you'll pair it with other meals?" I asked and she blinked in disappointment.

"So what? You're not gonna get it for me because it costs more than a thousand dollars? It's not like you can't afford it, so what's wrong with me eating something delicious?" She asked nonchalantly and I gaped at her.

"You understand the situation of the company right now, Maggie. You of all people should know how delicate money is right now" I tried convincing her but she just seemed to take offense in each word I said.

"I know that, Dane but do you have to reject a request of barely two thousand dollars in front of a lowly waiter? It's not as if the company would collapse if two thousand dollars is gone from your pocket!" She said and this time, there is tears in her eyes.

"Fine. You don't have to embarrass yourself and me any further than you've already done"

"Get us two plates of your most expensive steak and..."

"Your most expensive wine" Maggie chipped in and I glared hard at her.

"Just bring a middle class wine, please" I told the waiter and he bowed before leaving.

"What the hell, Dane? I don't know why you're being such an ass one moment and then a sweet boyfriend another minute, but this all has to stop, do you hear me?" She said angrily but I simply sighed, returning my attention to my phone.

After a few minutes, a waitress came to the table to deliver their orders but I didn't bother looking up until I caught the whiff of her scent.

"Your order..." The waitress trailed off as our eyes met and widened.

"Well, if it isn't the church rat, Savannah Harris" Maggie drawled mockingly and I watched Savannah's expression return to normal. And when I said normal, I meant sarcastic and scornful.

"Well, if it isn't the latest couple in town that can't afford the most expensive meals and wines of a church rat's working restaurant" she retorted, rolling her eyes nonchalantly and I felt my anger rise. My blood boiled against my veins, threatening to explode if she doesn't mind her running mouth but she was far from shutting it.

"How dare you, bitch? You're just a lowly worker at a restaurant. Have you no sense of shame?" Maggie said, her voice full of hatred and spite but I just sat there, wondering why Savannah chose to end up a lowly waitress when she could have been with me for the past four years.

Where had she been? How was her just meeting her after four solid years? Though she had no wolf, I was aware of that but she had the most appealing scent than other ladies I've had in the past. All including Maggie.

How could I even fantasize about how good she smelled when I had a lot of revenge plans to carry out?

"How dare I? Oh, please Maggie. You talk as if you're any more better than a lowlife" she retorted and turned to leave with the tray of food.

"You...!!"

"And where the hell are you going with our orders?" I asked, irritated by how she thinks she's high and mighty just because she works as a lowly waitress at a 5-star michelin.

"Well, I think I had the wrong table. This is a five-star restaurant, Mr. Walker. Everyone here knows that and tries to act within character but the behavior of this woman right here is of a lowlife. As she is your girlfriend? Wife? Maid? I don't care but I don't think this tray was meant for you in the first place. I'll go in to confirm again" Savannah said with a sarcastic smile on her face throughout and my frown deepened.

This isn't the Savannah I knew four years ago. How the hell did she become so bold? Whose bed is it that she climbed this time? I was still wondering when a smack echoed across the room.

I should be happy as I watched Maggie slap Savvy hard across the face but strangely, I felt more pissed.
