SAVANNAHMy breath hitched as I gazed into his eyes. Those beautiful green orbs were fixated on me, so captivating, so intense.His eyes roam my face, and my heart pounded in my chest. Did he mean it?He groaned and nibbled on my earlobe. “Say something,” he whispered, his voice Husky; a whimper escapes me as I met his gaze. I was as scared as I was speechless. I cleared my throat and nodded slowly. His grip tightened around my waist. “Use your words,” he murmured, resting his head on my forehead. “I want to hear your words, baby girl.”I swallowed hard, my throat suddenly dry. Dominic's closeness, his touch, and the moment's intensity overwhelmed me. But I couldn't let fear hold me back.“I… I want that too, Dominic,” I finally managed to say, my voice trembling but determined. “Yes,” I replied, though all I wanted to tell him was, “I want us to be real. I don't want this to be just a contract. I want you, all of you.”Dominic's eyes lit up with relief and joy, and he kissed me deeply

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

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 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.

**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
