Our Marriage, Our Rules Chapter 52- Backstory
SAVANNAHI walk through the hotel and offer a small smile to the staff. Nobody stopped me or asked questions; they knew I was his daughter.I entered the elevator and took a deep breath. Here's to hoping that nobody disturbs us today. I press the P button and wring my hands together nervously.The elevator opens, and my dad's men nod at me as I stride past them. As I step into the penthouse, I'm greeted by a luxurious and spacious living area. Large windows offer breathtaking views of the city skyline, and the entire space is tastefully decorated with modern and elegant furnishings. It's entirely different from the rest of the hotel, exuding luxury and sophistication.I guess this is what having money feels like.Dad is sitting on a plush couch, his laptop in front of him, working on something. He looks up as I enter, a warm smile on his face.“Savannah,” he says, his voice filled with genuine happiness. “I didn't know you were coming.” I can't help but feel a rush of emotions at the s

MR SEBASTIANS KNIGHTSMy confession hangs heavy in the air as I watch the emotions play across Savannah's face. She listens intently to my words, her eyes filled with shock, sadness, and relief.“I did a DNA test,” she gasps. “But not while she was pregnant. Your mother wouldn't allow me to be near her, so I waited until she gave birth.” I can see the weight of my actions hitting her, and I continue, feeling a need to explain myself. “I know it wasn't the right thing to do, but I was desperate; I needed to know if you were mine, and when the DNA result came back positive, I found light in my dark life. I found you.”Her tears continue to flow, but she smiles through them. “Then why did you leave me?”I gently cup her face in her hands, my thumbs wiping away her tears. “I never wanted to. I wanted to fight for you, but your grandfather threatened me; he told me he’d give you to an orphanage, and I'd never find you if I decided to stick around.”Her voice trembles as she asks, “Did Mom k

**SAVANNAH**My heart races as I follow Evans halfway across the front lawn. “Evans!” I yell, and he looks back at me before gritting his teeth and walking away. “Wait up.” I increase my pace and catch up to him, then run in front and block his path. “What are you doing? Where are you going?”His jaw tightens as he tries to move left, but I block him again, and the same with the right. “Move,” he grits out. “Go back inside.”I shake my head. “No! What do you mean you're not my brother?”“What do you think it means, huh?” he takes a step closer to me. “It means I'm not your brother. It means you don't have any reason to stand up here and pretend you care for me when you don't.”“How can that be?” I ask, confused. “How can you not be my brother?”He laughs emotionlessly. “What do you think I mean, Savannah? How do you think I can't be your brother, huh?”“I just want to know, Evans,” I say softly. “You are my brother.” What is this talk about him not being my brother?He clenches his fis

SAVANNAHEvans and I have just arrived at one of Dad's hotels, and to be honest, I am feeling extremely exhausted. He's currently in the bathroom while I sit on the couch.Dad's explanations about Evans not being my brother are a lot to handle right now. I flip my phone on to see six missed calls from Dominic and numerous messages.Yeah, he's worried. I dial Dominic’s number, and he answers immediately. “I've been calling you.”I sigh. “I know, and I'm fine. Could you come and pick me up?”“At your mom's place?”“No, I'm at one of Dad’s hotels, The Palace.”“I'm on my way.” He hangs up, and I lift my head to see Evans walking out of the bathroom.“Is everything okay? Do you like the area?” He looks around the room, a mix of curiosity and uncertainty in his eyes. “I Can't afford this.”He looks around the room, prompting me to do the same. The room boasts warm, rich, deep red and gold decor adorned with pretty pictures and decorations of ancient art, creating a homely look.My eyes wan

SAVANNAHShe looks up, and her big brown eyes meet mine. "I'm Evans's mom."I'm caught off guard momentarily, not expecting to meet Evans's mother here. “Oh,” I say with a tight smile. “How did you know I was here?” I look around, hoping she didn't see me and Evans enter together.Dominic nudges me, and I glance at him, finding him looking at me curiously. I shake my head and smile tightly. “It's a pleasure to meet you, Savannah,” she says instead. “As for finding you, you aren't hard to find,” she continues, making me uneasy. “I wanted to talk to you about Evans.”I rub my chin and glance at Dominic, who wraps his arms around me protectively. “Why didn't you contact him?”She chuckles softly. “Of course, I would've done that if he allowed me to talk to him.”I feel relieved knowing Evans isn't open to communication with her yet. “Then what makes you think I'm the person to talk to?”She looks at me, her gaze calculating. “He listens to you.”I don't like her. Something about her gives

SOPHIAI'm sitting on my bed, holding my phone, contemplating whether to call Dad. Mom has forbidden me from having any contact with him, even though initially, I thought Dad would come home, but he hasn't.As I sit in my spacious room, I can't help but feel a sense of loneliness. The room is large, almost too big for one person, and the space is a glaring reminder that I'm not with whom I should be with Dominic.I sigh and glance around at the luxurious furnishings and high-end decor, which I handpicked because I didn't want anyone else designing my room or choosing stupid colors.My eyes drift to the window, and I see the cityscape outside, a sea of lights stretching out into the distance. It's a beautiful sight, but right now, it only serves to remind me that I'm in the wrong mansion.I bite my nails as I dial Dad's number and flop on the bed. My eyes catch the chandelier, and I count the crystals while waiting for him to answer.“Hello,” Dad's voice comes through as the line connec

SAVANNAH"Pissed” is an understatement for how I felt seeing Sophia standing there, looking smug. I purse my lips as her eyes roam the boardroom. “Hello, Big Sister,” she says, a little smirk on her face.“Hello, Sophia,” I reply calmly, trying not to show my irritation. “Could you wait outside? This is a board meeting.”She chuckles. “I know, and I'm here for the board meeting.” She scans the room and spots the only empty seat next to Dominic. She marches over to him and takes a seat. “Hey, Dom,” she says seductively, smirking when I frown. She then addresses the room. “I'm sorry for disrupting the meeting. Please, continue.”Mr. Brown, one of the board directors, looks at her. “I'm sorry, Miss Knights, but you aren't part of the board or a company member. Your father didn't inform us about you being here. I'm sorry, but you have to leave, ma'am.”A slight smirk crosses my lips, and she grits her teeth, glaring at me. “And she's part of the board?”“Mrs. Knight here is going to repres

DOMINICIt is a challenge to maintain my self-control as I resist the urge to snap at Sophia. How dare she talk to Savannah that way? The only reason I don't intervene is that I know Savannah wouldn't appreciate it.Sophia purses her lips and strides over to me, her head held high with confidence. “We should move to the boardroom.”“You have two minutes; use it wisely,” I reply coldly, my eyes darting to Savannah, standing and looking around. All I want is to hold her and get her away from here.I feel hands rubbing my chest, and my head snaps down to find Sophia pushing herself closer to me. My eyes widen when I hear footsteps stomping away, and I quickly open my eyes to see Savannah's retreating figure. I push Sophia away abruptly, glaring at her. “What the hell was that?” I snap, completely forgetting where we are. “Who gave you the right to touch me without my permission?”She stumbles but regains her balance. “Oh, so now I need permission from you?”I grit my teeth and advance tow

SAVANNAH“Come back here!” I yell as I chase after my three-year-old son, who seems to be in the mood for his mischief. “Zion! Get back here!”He runs up the stairs and behind his father. “C’mon baby, let me him go,” my husband says as he looks at me. “I'm sure he didn't mean to.”I glare at him. “Uh-huh, I'm sure he didn't mean to take the cookies I made personally for Thanksgiving.”Dominic's eyes widen as he turns to his son, who throws him a toothy grin. “See?” he says as he looks at his son. “He didn't mean it.” I glare at him; he is a sucker for Zion.I roll my eyes as I stretch out my arms to him. “Give me my daughter,” I say as I smirk at him. “Go downstairs and care for everything else since you want to defend your son. Go ahead and take on the responsibility of cleaning the mess he made.”He pouts. “But I am holding our baby,” he says as he kisses our princess. “C’mon.”I glare at him. “Give her to me. You and your son go and take care of everything else.” He pouts, but I rem

DOMINIC“It’s a boy!” I announce, pushing the door open. Excited squeals and gasps surround me as I look at our family. “I have to go back in!” I say, pulling the door close leaving the noise outside.My wife needs me.Re-entering, I see our baby boy lying on her chest as they clean her up. She looks up, eyes watering. “Our baby,” she says weakly, and I nod vehemently as I kneel before her bed, “He’s so beautiful,” she says as she looks down at him. I nod as tears trail down my cheeks. “Thank you,” I say, rubbing her head. “Thank you.”“Excuse me, sir, please wait outside.” the nurse asks. I nod. “We’ll call you back in a few minutes.”I place a gentle kiss on her forehead. “I'll be right outside.” Leaning down, I kiss the top of my son’s head and walk outside.I find myself turning and looking at the nurse, picking up the baby and going to clean him, I'm sure. Find everybody waiting eagerly. “How are they?”“They're fine. I think they are about to clean them up,” I say, closing the d

DOMINICThe atmosphere is charged with anticipation as I tap my feet, awaiting her. The space around me echoes the silent suspense. “Should we wait some more?” a voice asks, and I nod tightly, reassuring more myself than the speaker, “She’ll come. She’ll be here soon.”As I contemplate checking my phone, the door swings open, and my pulse goes haywire. She's here. She's adorned in a flowing white dress, eyes glistening as she approaches. I smile softly, and she reciprocates, causing my heart to pound. As she reaches me, she mouths, “I'm sorry.” I shake my head, pulling her into me. “I had cramps.”My concern shows with a frown. “Are you okay? Is it severe?” I hold her at arm’s length. “Is it okay?”She smiles brightly. “Yeah, I'm fine.” She exhales. “Let's do this.”I smile, kissing her forehead before taking my stance beside her. We're remarrying today, a private renewal of vows away from prying eyes. I wanted our loved ones present, but I asked her about the wedding she wanted, and s

SAVANNAH“Open your eyes,” Dominic says as he removes his hands from my eyes. I blink as my eyes adjust to the surroundings, and gasps escape my lips.This is a house in the middle of a field surrounded by flowers of all kinds, a two-story building painted black and white.My lips stretch into a wide grin as the scent of the field and flowers fills the air. “Do you like it?” Dominic asks as he stands behind me. “Is it to your taste?”I whirl around to face him. “Do I like it?!” I ask as I look around, and he nods. “No, I don't.” His face drops, and a broad smile spread across my face. “I freaking love it.”I see him breathe out a sigh of relief. “You had me scared for a second,” he says as he wraps his arms around me and pulls me to him. “This is ours.”My eyes widen as I look at him. “For us? You bought it?” He nods as he looks around. “Why?”He smiles. “I figure we have somewhere to escape and spend time together. We needed a getaway, and although I could've taken you anywhere worldw
Our Marriage, Our Rules Chapter 102-It will be okay
Elizabeth Miller.I'm struggling with my thousands of emotions, a turbulent whirlwind. I've always prided myself on maintaining my resolve to stay clear of Sebastian Knights, and I've succeeded.They say there's a thin line between love and hate, and I've found that true. To release the love I once had for him, I had to blur that line and harbor a deep resentment for him—the man who took everything from me.I shake my head, recalling our conversation the day Savannah shared the news of her pregnancy and the way he looked at me when I discovered he had given me his kidney.He saved my life, and why would he do such a thing? I cling to the notion that he did it for her, not me. Although I believe that, a small part of me questions: What if it was more than just for Savannah?What if he did it for me?I scoff at my thoughts as I step outside, my heart racing as I search for him. Sebastian Knights has always had a knack for breaking down every wall I built, and the hatred I clung to was a
Our Marriage, Our Rules Chapter 101-The Verdict
DOMINIC “And this decision today was taken based on all the evidence and testimonies that were given to us today," my hands find Dominic's legs as he pulls me closer to him, "and it reads as follows."Savannah’s hands tighten around mine, and I pull her closer. “The court has found the accused guilty as charged with every available evidence,” the judge continues. My hands tighten around Savannah, and I pull her closer to me. “There will be no bond for Becca Knights and the rest of the defendants.” I see Evans' jaw clench tight.Aisha turns to us and smiles tightly. I scowl at her, knowing that she might have helped to save Savannah, but she was the reason she was taken in the first place.“Becca Knights is sentenced to a hundred years with no parole and heavy duties.” Becca's eyes widen, and she gasps as she looks at him before her eyes turn to us. I subconsciously pull Savannah closer to me. “Sophia Knights is sentenced to fifteen years in prison with parole.” I see Sophia bow her he

SavannahI watch as Dad walks in with a woman whose eyes hold determination, and I hear Mom gasp beside me. I turn to her to find her watching the woman with wide eyes. Does Mom know who she is?The woman walks in, her shoulders high, and Becca's face pales when her eyes land on the woman. “It can't be,” she whispers. “You—It can't be—”I tilt my head, wondering what's going on. “Surprised to see me?” the woman asks as she looks at Becca, who is paling by the minute. “Has it been so long that you don't remember me?”Dad places his hands on the woman's shoulder, and she looks up at him and nods as she's led to the podium. They hand her the Bible as she swears and turns to face everyone.Her eyes land on Sophia, and her lips quiver before her eyes find me. She looks almost proud to see me. Her eyes then go to Mom, and I see her eyes widen slightly.So, they know each other.The judge commands the attention of everyone. “Please state your name and your relationship with the individuals in

SEBASTIAN KNIGHTS.FLASHBACK TO WHEN SEBASTIAN MET JJ WIFE!I drive endlessly around the streets, my heart in turmoil as I review everything that has happened in the last few days. I sigh, feeling a sharp headache, knowing I could've prevented everything.I park the car and rest my head on the steering wheel, the weight of it all pressing on my chest. I could have stopped this. I run my hand down my face and look outside. To my surprise, I'm at the graveyard. I haven't been here in years, but I don't understand why I stayed away. With nothing else to do, I push the car door open and step out.It's still the same as I remember it—quiet and calm. I look around at the graves, and my heart becomes heavy, realizing that these are the final resting places for people with dreams and accomplishments cut short by death. Why do people have to die? Wouldn't it be better if there were somewhere everyone goes after growing old instead of just disappearing?Pushing those thoughts aside, I walk throu
