Our Marriage, Our Rules   Chapter 66- Brother in Need
**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

SAVANNAHWe looked in the mirror, smiling at each other, and I ran my hands down my dress. I couldn't help but admire myself. Who would've thought that the day would come when I'd be standing here, especially with someone as kind and pure as Janelle?My dress was a sleeveless, floor-length gown in a cream color made of flowing fabric. It was silky with a soft and shimmering quality, gracefully flowing over my body. A zigzag pattern adorned the waist, and it had a train that connected from the core, flowing effortlessly to the ground, giving it an elegant and graceful look.Bill chose earrings that were almost like cuffs, featuring a floral design that covered the entire ear length. The handpiece was a glove-like accessory that reached up to the whole hand, also with a floral design. My shoes were gold-colored stilettos with zip-up bands.I looked at my face, lightly made up with light cream eyeshadow and cream-colored glossy lips. My hair was pulled into a French twist, and I couldn't

SAVANNAHDominic and I stood still as several pictures were taken before he placed his hands on the small of my back and guided me inside.I turned around to see that Chris and Janelle hadn't arrived yet. I turned back, and Dominic led us.The open door to the ballroom revealed a warm glow from the chandeliers. It was a breathtaking sight, with elegantly dressed guests mingling with their masks on; my eyes widened as I entered the room. Marie had truly outdone herself.Soft music played in the background, and fresh flowers filled the air. I looked around in awe at the flowers lining the path leading to the main ballroom. I was in awe as Dominic's arm tightened around me.We strolled down the zigzag road with lights hanging over us, some in the shape of circles. “You guys did an amazing job,” I said, looking at Dominic, who wore an impressed expression.“I didn't do any of this; Marie did all the work,” I said, shaking my head. He nodded and pulled me close, his lips meeting mine. We ki

SAVANNAHI am about to stand up and walk over to them when Dominic grabs my hand, redirecting my attention to him. He shakes his head silently, his expression urging me to hold back. "Let them handle it," he whispers.I glance over his shoulder at my mom and Becca, feeling the tension in the room rise. "But they could—""Let them handle it," Dominic says firmly. "You are a part of the company, and the board is here. Whatever they are about to do, don't intervene." I am about to protest, but he cut me off. "I'm doing this for your good."Frustration wells up within me, and I ball my hands into fists. I look around as all eyes in the room remained fixed on the two women, who were glaring at each other with palpable hostility. The silence was so heavy that you could hear a pin drop."Long time no see, Elizabeth," Becca thunders, eyes scanning the ballroom. She smirked when she spotted me. "Who would've thought I'd see you here?"Mom raises an eyebrow, maintaining her composure. "I'd say t

SAVANNAHI'm frozen, unable to believe what I'm seeing. My eyes are locked on the screen, where Sophia and Dominic are locked in a passionate kiss. My gaze shifts to our seat, meeting the shocked stares of everyone at our table, and I'm left speechless.In disbelief, I step back, feeling hands wrapping around me, trying to comfort me. But my attention remains fixated on the looping video on the screen. Sophia's arms are wrapped around Dominic's neck, his hands hanging limply at his sides. My eyes travel down to their clothes, and it hits me that this was just last week; I picked out that outfit for him, and he wore it to my sister.A commotion erupts around me, and I turn to see Evan throwing a punch at Dominic. “How could you do this to my sister?” he yells, attempting another punch before Chris intervenes.Dominic wipes his mouth, his eyes filled regretfully as he turns to look at me, pleading with his gaze. He starts to move towards me, but Bill, whom I don't even know, arrives and

DOMINICI watch as the car drives away, carrying Savannah with it, and it feels like my heart is about to shatter into a million pieces. I'm about to run inside to find my keys when Bill and Evans block my path.I don't have time for this right now.“How could you?” Evans says, stepping closer to me. “You made her believe you loved her, only to be involved with her sister behind her back?”I sigh, trying to find the right words. “Look, I know right now, nothing I say will be believable to any of you,” I say, looking between them both. “The only person who matters right now is Savannah, and I am two seconds away from losing my patience.”Bill scoffs. “Is that meant to scare us?” He clenches his fists. “I would love nothing more than to beat you up right now.” He grits his teeth. “Go ahead and lose your patience; trust me, it will be in my favor.”I grit my teeth and look at them and the men standing behind them. They love Savannah and are protective of her, which is good. But right now,

Our Marriage, Our Rules   Chapter 106- Epilogue
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
Our Marriage, Our Rules   Chapter 105- Family
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
Our Marriage, Our Rules   Chapter 104-Still the Same
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

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
Our Marriage, Our Rules   Chapter 100-An Almost Verdict
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
