Please be informed we will enter hell week soon!:)🤍
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,
Sebastian KnightsI stand in front of the venue, feeling lost and uncertain about what to do next.I dial Savannah's number, but it rings for an eternity before going to voicemail. It seems she honestly believed I was aware of all this. I tuck my hands into my pants, deep in thought, as Mr. Marshall approaches me. I turn to face the street, and he sighs heavily. “We failed them.”I looked at him and then up at the sky. “I never imagined anything like this happening. The media will have a field day before the night is over.”He shakes his head. “I've taken care of it. My men are tracking down those who were here, and they've got things under control.”“All of them?” I glance at Becca and Sophia inside the venue, engaged in conversation. I don't want to deal with them right now.“Yeah, pretty much.” He scans the surroundings. “Sophia mentioned that you knew about her and Dominic's relationship?”I roll my eyes. “If I had known they were involved, do you think I would have had Savannah si
SAVANNAHI'm pregnant. Or, more like, I might be pregnant. I'm standing in this small hotel bathroom, my hands trembling as I stare at those pregnancy tests. I can't wrap my head around it, “This can't be true, or is it?” I say, my voice filled with uncertainty.“What does it say?” Janelle asks, her voice filled with concern. I shake my head, almost in denial.“I don’t want to believe this result; let’s do it again,” I say, opening another pack and placing the first three tests down.“You did three,” Janelle points out, and it's true. I've taken three tests, and they all show the same result. But I can't accept it. There's no way I can be pregnant, right?I close my eyes and exhale as I try to recall if Dominic and I ever used protection, and I keep coming up blank. We didn’t, and he never pulled out.Stupid.Stupid.After I vomited, and we had that thought, we rushed to the nearest drugstore in a panic. Now, here we are, in this hotel room, and I need to figure out what's happening
DOMINIC“We need to talk,” she says as she pushes me back slightly. I nod as I withdraw from her, my eyes meeting Janelle, who glares at me.I rake my hands through my hair. “Sure,” I whisper and look back at Chris, whose eyes are fixed on Janelle. I point upstairs. “Should we head upstairs?”She shakes her head. “No, we're going to talk down here.” I nod and look at Chris, who walks forward and grabs Janelle's hands.“We’re going to talk in the car outside,” he says calmly, but his face is anything but. “Call us back in if you need us.”Janelle looks at Savannah and tries to reach her when Chris pulls her to him. She glares at him and turns to Savannah. “I’m just outside. Yell if you need me,” she says as she throws me a stink eye and then walks out and slams the door.I cringe at the sound because I’m left alone with Savannah, who seems to be looking everywhere but at me. I rake my hands through my hair. “I know I hurt you,” I say slowly. “And I'm sorry I did that, Savannah. I never
SAVANNAH“I'm pregnant,” I say out loud, watching his facial expressions change. He scrunches his face up in confusion, and I see the realization dawning on him as his eyes land on my hands.I can tell the revelation hits him like a ton of bricks, and I watch as the weight of my words settles in, leaving him speechless. I imagine he reacted a different way, maybe getting angry or asking me to abort, but I didn't see this coming, and it added a whole new layer of complexity to our situation.“Pregnant?” he manages to say, his voice barely above a whisper.I nod as he looks down at my belly, where my hands rest protectively to shield my child from every negative word he might say. “I'm pregnant,” I repeat, saying the words out loud tells me how true it is, “and you're the father,” I say even though I know it's a stupid thing to say. Of course, he's the father; who else would I have gotten pregnant for?He takes a step in front tentatively, and I don't stop him. I'm curious about what he'
SAVANNAH It's the next day, and I'm lounging on the couch as I have yet to experience morning sickness.I look over into the Kitchen, where Dominic is busy preparing me breakfast. I offered to help, but he refused, saying this was his way of making me know I was a queen.Dominic's dad has been persistent in calling to ask how his grandchild is, and although I want to tell him it's nothing but blood yet, I don't have the heart to say to him. So I tell him his grandchild is kicking.And then he'll say he's a strong boy like his father and grandfather. I know damn well no blood is strong like Dominic, but hey, as long as he's happy.“So, you're going to take me after we eat?” I call out to Dominic, who looks like he is a first-class chef throwing things around in the kitchen.“Yeah, I am. We have to see the doctor to know how far along you are,” he yells back. “Have you told your parents yet?”“Not yet. I prefer to get the doctor's report, and then I will take it to them.” He hums as he
