SAVANNAH"Welcome to Rine's palace. My name is Savannah, and I will be your waitress for today. What would you like to order?" I smiled so brightly as I handed the two men, who had just walked into their respective menus."Oh Savannah, my name is Robert, and this is my friend Wayne." The man I was standing in front of introduced himself to me. Although it wasn't needed, some customers still did the unbelievable, and I couldn't be rude to them no matter what, so I smiled at him."Nice to meet you, sirs. Can I take your orders now?" I asked, and they nodded. The two of them ordered a steak, some salad, and some rice along with it. I wrote them down quickly and then smiled again. "Your food will be here in ten minutes," I announced."Thank you, Savannah. When did you start working here?" Another question was thrown my way, and I almost grumbled, couldn't a girl do her job in peace?"It's been close to a year, sir," I responded, and he nodded. "May I bring you two anything to drink, or th
SAVANNAHWhen I opened my eyes, I wanted everything that had happened some hours earlier to be a joke, but it wasn't. I was in the familiar setting, but just in a different room. This was the hospital, and I must have passed out earlier after hearing the most shocking news of my life."You are awake, oh, thank God." I turned to my side when I heard the voice. It was Roman, and he was wearing a frown as he held my hand."What are you doing here? How did you?" I began to ask as I tried to get up from the bed, but he shut me up immediately. "You shouldn't talk too much or try to get up; you passed out from shock." He explained and helped me get back in bed.I nodded because there was no use arguing with him; I would never win. "How did you know that I was here?" I asked him"I didn't see you at work, so I asked Joshua. He informed me that you were receiving constant calls from Cory. I suspected this could be related to Sarah, as she was scheduled to babysit her today." When I got to the
SAVANNAH"God, I knew that Levi deserved it, but Roman was so wrong," I ranted as I walked out of the hospital with anger. I had almost gotten to the garden at the back when I was pulled back and I turned to look at Roman.I instantly began to pull my hand away from his hand when I realized that he was the one. "Don't touch me" I yelled at him and pulled my hand away.He pulled me back again, "I'm sorry, Savannah, please," He muttered with his head bowed, and I stared at him. How could I even get mad at him when he was this cute while sorry?"I don't like what you did in there; you should have known better, Roman. How could you hit Levi in public?" I asked in angerHe moved closer to me, still holding my hand but I didn't move away from him again. "I know, Savannah, I was wrong, but I couldn't hold back. I had to hit him once, he touched you"I touched his face and smiled at him, "I know that you love me and can't bear to see me hurt, but next time, please control yourself. What if so
SAVANNAH "Levi, I know that you took our daughter. She's sick, so she has to be in the hospital," I begged later that day on the phone with Levi. "So now she's our daughter," he laughed. Roman frowned and stepped forward to take the phone, but I stopped him. I didn't want Levi to know we were together, or it would just make him even more angry. It was best if I handled everything by myself, so he had to let me do it and just trust me. "I'm sorry if I offended you, Levi, but Sarah might die if she isn't in the hospital," I began to sob."Do you think I will kill my daughter? I know that she will die if not properly attended to, and that's why I got her transferred to another hospital. She will be taken care of daily." As soon as he said that, I felt at ease a bit. At least now I knew that he wasn't keeping her in a dungeon just to spite me. "When can I see her? I need to see my daughter, please." I begged "I'm sorry, but you might never see her again, Savvy. I will be going to co
SAVANNAH'S POV"Let's end this relationship" Levi's words were like a sharp knife that pierced my soul from many angles causing me to feel pain all over my body"I...I don't understand, did I do something?" I managed to say as I tried to hold onto his hand, he pulled away from my touch as if I were a poisonous plant and stepped back."I don't have to explain myself to you, this is what I want," He said, not a hint of remorse or pity in his voice. Tears began to roll down my face as I began to understand the extent of the issue at hand.I struggled to find my voice as I asked him, "Is...Is there someone else?""No" His reply was quick and cold. I expected more but it never came. "Levi, please don't do this to me, don't do this to us" I pleaded as I fell to my knees in front of him."There is no us Savannah" My mouth dropped open at his choice of words. They were delivered with a harshness that shattered my heart into countless fragments, I could not bring myself to think that Levi, who
SAVANNAH'S POV"I'm afraid that your daughter has leukemia Mrs Andrews" As soon as the doctor relayed this shocking news, my mouth dropped and my eyes widened."My daughter has leu...leukemia?" I struggled to speak, it was as if the air had left my lungs. The doctor's words hit me like a force.My daughter, whom I had to struggle to birth and raise alone, had a terminal illness. It felt like the ground had been pulled from beneath me. This wasn't part of the plan I had made years ago when I decided to have her."Mrs Andrews"My precious baby, I remember the first day she came into this world, a tiny bundle of hope and dreams. I vividly recalled the long hours of labor, the excruciating pain, and the overwhelming relief when the midwife finally placed her delicate body in my arms."Mrs Andrews, can you hear me?"I fought so much and worked so hard to settle the mounting hospital bills, taking on extra jobs just to put food on the table for my daughter despite being postpartum. Every ou
SAVANNAH'S POV"Levi?"The shock of seeing him there was palpable, and the haunting memories flooded my mind the minute our eyes met. It was a sight that stirred up emotions I had desperately tried to bury.Levi suddenly cut in with a sly grin on his face, it was not the kind of emotion I had wanted on his face when we met again.I wanted revenge then and I still want it now. I wanted to have reached my dream and had enough money but look at me. I was the exact opposite of everything I wanted. I was a nobody, I didn't have any money and my daughter's health was on a shaky foundation.Even now, Levi still had enough and was living fine, if I even got this job, he would be my boss. "Fate brought us back together" Was the first thing he said Fate brought us together? I wanted to scoff and walk out because I would rather sell my soul to the devil than smile with this man. But I needed the job so I remained composed."We meet again" My response was short enough to make me keep my sanity
SAVANNAH'S POVI made my way into the doctor's office that morning for the results of Sarah's checkup the day before. "Miss Andrews" The doctor smiled when he saw me but honestly I couldn't smile because there was nothing to be happy about."Good morning, how's my daughter doing?" I got straight to the point."Have you come up with the money Miss Andrews?" He askedI nodded in refusal before letting out a sigh. "I couldn't raise the money yet but I will," I said"I'm sorry but you don't have much time again, the cancer has spread through her internal organs," He said"My precious daughter" I began to sob and he pulled out a tissue for me before continuing. "I'm afraid that if we don't operate on her soon, it might be too late to do anything in a few weeks," The doctor said"What do you mean doctor?" I asked him, he couldn't possibly mean what I thought he did."I'm saying that your daughter will have less than a month to live if the surgery isn't done in the next two weeks,""My God"
