SavannahThe surgery was successful! I squealed and hugged the doctor right after he delivered the good news. She's already been wheeled out of the operation room, and I'm so excited that I don't think about my actions before dialing Mr. Knight's number.“Hello,” he answers on the third ring.“It was successful! The doctors said everything is okay now." I blurted it out immediately.“That's good to know.” His words remain indifferent. “Did you check the time before calling me?”I pause. “Shit, I'm sorry.” It's ten here, so it's about four in the morning where he is.He grumbles, “Is she up yet?” he says, and then the sheets rustle.“No, not yet, but anyway, I have to go. I'm sorry again about the time.”“When are you coming back?”“We're flying back in four days. The doctor said she needs rest and observation.”“They can observe her in the hospital she was admitted to here. You asked for a week; it's been five days. Taking an extra four might seem like you're not serious about the con
DominicIt's the company's gathering, and everyone is here. Dad decided it should be held in our home.I can hear the faint sound of music from here. After tonight, my life will change.I shove my hands into my pants pocket and gaze into the quiet night. The distant lights of the city are so much more beautiful up here. I love the peace and quiet, whereas my dad loves the city.The door opens, and I turn to see Chris standing there. “It's your engagement night, man. Lighten up.”Chris is dressed in a sophisticated dark blue three-piece suit that shows the vibrant blue of his eyes, and a black tie complements his suit. His blond hair is slicked back, and his eyes seem to hold a perpetual sense of amusement. He completes the look with a pair of sleek black dress shoes. I swear, every time I see this dude, He has a ring on every finger but his marriage finger.Today, he’s wearing the ring on his pinkie finger, which, if I'm being honest, is his style.I scowl and say, “Of course you find
SAVANNAHThe centerpiece, a graceful chandelier, immediately catches my eye as it hangs from the ceiling. Its sparkling crystals catch the light, casting a soft, enchanting glow throughout the room.As we enter, all eyes turn to us, and the place falls momentarily silent before some return to their chattering while others look on with interest and some with disgust and jealousy.I tear my gaze from the people and take a moment to observe my surroundings. To my right, a curved staircase with sleek black railings beckons me to explore the upper levels. The railings are adorned with delicate crystals at the tips, creating a mesmerizing interplay of light and shadows as you walk further into the room.Almost every woman and man here is dressed to the nines. It's like a competition to impress in this place, with everyone fighting to stand out.On the opposite side, a fireplace crackles warmly, casting a gentle and cozy ambiance. The dancing flames provide a comforting focal point, and a fe
DominicNothing could have prepared me for this kiss ever since I saw her standing there looking like a goddamn siren.Just as I expected, her lips were soft. I caress her lips with mine, and she inhales sharply. I drag my tongue over her lips and place my fingers behind her hair as I deepen the kiss. She tastes exquisite, like chocolate and vanilla.She wraps her hands around my back and kisses me back with the same intensity.Fuck, this is so much better than I thought. I growl as she bites my lips. I drag my free hand down to her waist when the sound of a camera going off brings us back to the present.She jerks her head, and her cheek flushes as she takes in our surroundings. My father has a knowing glint in his eyes.I can't believe we just made it out in public. The women around us are glaring at her, and the men are giving me looks.Her cheeks are rosy red as she ducks her head and steps back from me. I smirk. “Babe,” I say loudly so everyone can hear. She snorts, “I'm so glad t
Savannah“Shit.”“What?”“Don't look now, but my father's wife is heading here now,” I say as I keep my eyes fixed on the woman whose eyes have an evil glint in them.I had told Janelle my father's name but didn't explain anything else. She puts the plate down. “How far is she?”“Bit far,” I reply casually, looking into the room and ignoring the scent of the food as it wafts into my nose.“Do you want us to bail?” she asks as she tries to act calm, “If you want to, she wants right now.”“Do you think I should bail?”She pauses. “No. Bailing gives her points. Remember what I said about being the predator?”“Yes,” I say as I puff my shoulders, “I do remember.”“Good. I'm here, so be the predator. Stick your chin up, don't stammer, be alert, and be ready. Stepmothers are mean bitches.”I grin. “Not all of them.”She turns to look at the stepmother, who is closer to us. “Yours doesn't look like she's here for a tea party.”“Whatever.”“Long time no see,” she stops and looks at me, her chin
SavannahUgh, twice in one night? What are the odds?“Look at you, stepsister,” she says with a smirk on her face as she licks her lips “Such a surprise”“I'm surprised you know who I am,” I answer as I watch her squarely.“Oh, I keep track of my family.” She watches me with a cruel smile on her lips.“Uh-huh.” I'm sure she does; she looks like she came here to scare me, which won't work.“Well, look at you, big sister,” she said, her tone mocking.“Beautiful, aren't I?” I say airily. I might as well go with the flow.She ignores it. “I didn't think I'd see you here.”“And why is that?” I ask as I lean back on the sink. “Why?”“You just didn't fit the description of people who should be here. Despite your, uh, not so fancy clothes,” She looks at me with disdain, “Did you borrow this?” She taps her chin. “Maybe there's a price tag at the back.”“You're running out of options, darling,” I taunt, “or perhaps it's not the clothes or shoes that fit the description.” Her blue eyes narrowed.
SavannahI stand in front of the house where I'll stay for the next year and a half. Mr. Knights drove me here. “Are you going to enter anytime soon?” he asks.I turn back to him. “Are you coming in?”He shakes his head. “No, I have work to handle.”I nod and say, “Okay, thank you.”“Call me if you need anything,” he tells me. I know I won't, but I answer with an okay anyway. He winds up his windshield, and they drive away. He called and offered to drop me off, and I agreed.Last night, when I got home, Mom was waiting for me on the couch. She wasn't happy, that's for sure. I tried to tell her I was doing this on my freeway, but she said she knew me well enough to know I was lying.Flashback:> “You're still up? I thought you should be resting.” I say as I place my bag down. “Why can't you at least rest?”“I am resting. Have you checked the internet?” she goes straight to the point.“No, I haven't,” I admit. “I don't plan to do so yet.”“Scared of what they might say about you?”I've h
Dominic:I can't remember the last time I had a home-cooked meal and enjoyed it as much as I do this one.“This is nice.?” Scratch that. This is delicious. I try to play it cool as she walks away.She might've told me to serve myself next time, but the fact that she said, “next time” makes me smile.I watch as her walk causes her ass to jiggle.I bite into my chicken and imagine it's her ass and that makes it taste even better.I wolf down the plate in a few minutes, clear the table, and head up the stairs. It's pretty quiet up here. No lights are on, so I don't know which room she chose.I walk to my room and nod in approval of its cleanliness. Maria sure did her work on time.I peel my clothes off and head towards the shower.The bathroom is practically a room by itself; it's large. A shower can fit four people, and a tub for two.I stand under the shower head, and the water helps relax my sore muscles. Today at the office was eventful. I asked the staff to send me a financial report
