DominicLife has been good. It's been a week since Savannah and I agreed to be officially husband and wife. The contract I gave her to sign was torn up, but my father's remains.That will go, too. Soon.My eyes drift to Savannah, sitting next to me, wearing a floral dress that stops mid-thigh, and her hair flows loosely around her neck. I want to run my hands through those curves of hers. I'm currently driving her to her mother's house.Noticing me staring, she looks at me with those beautiful eyes, and my breath hitches. She smiles at me with a blush creeping up her cheeks. “Why are you staring at me like that?”I can't help but chuckle softly at her question. “Because you're stunning, Savannah,” I reply, my gaze still fixed on her. “I can't get enough of looking at you.”She rolls her eyes playfully, her blush deepening. “You are too interesting, Dominic.” I chuckle as I stop the car on the highway. She looks at me with wide eyes. “Why are you stopping?”I look at her like she's grow
SAVANNAH“Okay, can you start with Evans?” I ask, leaning forward and giving her my full attention.She sighed. “I knew that was where you were going to start.” She wrenched her hands together. “Did you speak to him about it?”“I did,” I hesitate to tell her the truth. “He was angry and said some things,” she looks over at me, and I clarify, “Not bad stuff. He's just lost right now; knowing what he thought was true all these years can be tough.”She looks at the wall. "I understand. I never said he wasn't my son because I always thought he saw; I never saw him as different,” she looks at me. “Evan was the one that taught me love before I even got pregnant with you.”My heart squeezes in my chest. “Whose son is he?” I ask, leaning forward and giving her my full attention.“Albert. He was the man I met after your father. Evans was a kid when his mom had just walked away from him and his father. However, Albert wanted more. I could only offer him friendship, and he appreciated it,” she sm
DOMINIC My eyes drift down to Savannah sleeping on my lap. I had just picked her up from her mother's place, and she was still sleeping. I guess she's tired, especially with everything that has happened over the last few days.It's a good thing my driver joined me, so I'm in the back seat as I watch my wife sleep. She's beautiful.I put the privacy screen up and ran my finger through her hair slowly. She's breaking down every wall I had built around me, and that's terrifying.I bend down slightly and place a kiss on her forehead. She stirs in my arms. Yeah, I'm a goner for her. My phone pings, and I look down to see a message from Chris.Chris: Remember, there's someone whose name starts with a C and ends with an S that has been your friend for years.A chuckle escapes me. He can be so dramatic when he wants to be. I hit call since I'm enjoying the feel of Savannah's skin under my palms. He answers on the first ring. “What?”“Did you manage to have some fun yet?” I ask, knowing it wil
Sophia**I'm sitting in my Dad's office, anxiously waiting for him. He's refused to see me for the past few days, and it's painful that Mom isn't even aware of the situation.The door handle jiggles, and it swings open. Dad enters, his expression a mix of curiosity and concern as he locks eyes with me. He walks over to his desk and takes a seat. “What's going on here?”I muster a tight smile. “Dad.” He gazes at me, sits across from me, and places some files on the table. I reach out to hold his hand, but he withdraws it abruptly. “I'm sorry.”“You're sorry?” Dad questions, studying me closely. “Tell me, Sophia, what compelled you to do what you did?”I lower my head and clasp my hands together, feeling the weight of my actions bearing down on me. “I'm sorry. I admit that what I did was wrong. I wasn't thinking, and I just acted.”“You weren't thinking, Sophia?” Dad interlaces his fingers and leans forward. “Explain this to me. You left home after we spoke and confronted the board membe
Savannah**It's been three months since I started working at the Marshall's, and so far, everything has been good.They still haven't found out who hit my car, and honestly, it bothers me. But I don't let it show, not wanting to stress Dominic, who, by the way, still pays his regular visits to my office.We've gotten a lot closer, and each time that happens, I fall a little deeper. I know it's dangerous, but I can't seem to help myself.It's the little things he does - making breakfast for me, opening doors, taking me out for dinner, and holding my hand. Not to mention how close he and Mom have gotten since our last visit. She loves him.Although Evan and Mom haven't had the time to discuss what happened thoroughly, they are still working on the little conversations between them. His mom hasn't shown herself yet, making me even more suspicious of her.I'm flipping through the files when I hear noise outside my door. I tilt my head in confusion as to what the noise is about. I'm about t
**Savannah**It's been hectic because I decided to involve myself with the preparation of the Ball fully. Nobody told me these things are wild because the department wants everything to be perfect, which is undoubtedly what will happen.I'm flipping through my files when there's a gentle knock before Marie walks in, holding papers in her hands. “These are the receipts for everything bought, ma'am.” She places them on the table. “The things have started to arrive, and we are yet to find a venue.”“Did you check the Royal Hotel?” I ask as I pick up the receipts and go through them. Each total leaves a sharp pain in my chest.Marie nods. “Yes, ma'am. We've checked at the Royal Hotel, but unfortunately, they have already booked on the date of the Ball.”I sigh, feeling the weight of the preparations on my shoulders. “Alright, let's broaden our search. Check with other upscale hotels, event venues, and even historical estates if needed. We need to find a suitable venue soon.” I tap my chin.
DOMINICI haven't had the time to see Savannah and have alone time since she's been extremely busy with this whole ball thing, and I'm regretting why I agreed to the board selecting her department.Good thing the ball is tomorrow. I'm sitting in my office, going through some files, when there's a gentle knock, and I look up to see Savannah walking in.My eyes widen in surprise, and she smiles coyly as she sways her hips toward me. “Surprise to see me?” she asks as she perches on the edge of my desk.I nod. “I am. You've never come to my office -not that you aren't welcome or anything – but I'm just surprised.”She laughs. “I know you are.” I beckon her with my hands, and she walks around the desk. I spread my thighs, and she stands between them. “I thought I'd come and see you since I've been crazy busy.”I wrap my hands around her waist and pull her closer. I rest my head on her stomach, and she places her hands around my neck. I miss her. I look up to find her watching me. “I underst
**Savannah**The ball is in eight hours, and I'm sweating and extremely nervous, as I understand how important this event is for the company.We've invited all the investors, both international and national. Knowing that Mom and Evans—yes, she agreed to come this time—will be here tonight adds even more stress. I nervously rub my hands on the back of my jeans as I walk back into the room, my phone in my hand.“You're going to dig a hole in the ground if you keep on doing that,” I turned to see Janelle looking at me with an annoyed expression. “Come and have a seat,” she motions next to her. “Bill will be here soon.”I sigh heavily. “But what if things don't go as planned—”“Ah ah ah,” she cuts me off. “None of that. Trust that the department will take care of this. It's important to them, just as it is to you.” I go to speak, but she shakes her head. “No.”I sigh and slump on the bed. “Okay, fine, I should just make one call, and then I'll be done.”“Still no.” I scowl at her and try t
