Savannah Arabella WilliamsonChapter 1"Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are..."Eight-year-old Savannah happily sings. She's in a room on the second floor of their mansion, waiting for her mother. Her mom said she would just finish cleaning the kitchen. Every night, her mom sings to her to help her sleep, but she hasn't come yet."Teddy bear bear, should I go to mom? She's not here yet."Savannah looks out the window, and it's raining heavily. She's scared of the thunder and lightning. She covers her ears when she hears a loud thunder.She sings her favorite nursery rhyme, the one her mom sings to comfort her from the fear of thunder and lightning."T-Twinkle, twinkle little star—She stops singing when she hears another loud thunder.

Chapter 2

"How was your sleep, Savannah?"After having breakfast, her grandfather invited her to the veranda to talk."It's good. Aren't you going to the company today?"She really wanted to ask about his company, to know if he had decided to give her work. She wasn't used to having nothing to do; it had been two weeks of being bored in the mansion. Surely, that wasn't her grandfather's plan for her?(I don't want to be confined here; if that's what he wants, I'll just go back to Hawaii and continue my work.)"I am on leave, Savannah. It seems you don't want to see or talk to me? Since you came back, I've been busy with the company. Today is the only day we have a chance to talk properly."Her grandfather's tone hinted at hurt from her previous words. But she knew he was just seeking sympathy."I haven't forgotten what you did to bring me home, grandpa. That's not nice; you know you're my only family. I panicked, thinking something had happened to you."Salvattier scowled at her, and she knew h

Chapter 3

Savannah leaned back in her swivel chair. It had been two months since the company was transferred to her name and it’s been three months since she arrived in the Philippines. Now, being the new CEO was exhausting. Aside from talking to the heads of each department, she also discovered something that greatly frustrated her."What do you mean, Savannah? Are you accusing me of stealing money?"That was her uncle's response when she asked him about the biggest problem recently. She wasn't accusing him. She just wanted to know if her uncle was aware of the significant amount of money disappearing from the company. But his immediate reaction made it seem like he was guilty.Savannah shook her head. There were so many irregularities happening in Williamson Company, so what was her uncle talking about, saying that he did everything for the sake of their company?Moreover, her grandfather knew that people were stealing money, yet he remained silent. When she mentioned the enormous amount of

Chapter 4

Savannah had no idea she was guarded because her grandfather hadn't mentioned anything. And now, she wanted to know more about her bodyguard! After all, who would have thought that the muscular man was actually a bodyguard when he looked like a famous model?(Ace, huh? that's his codename only.)"His eyes are so sharp, his jaw so firm that it makes me want to touch it. He's like the male lead described in famous novels."He drove her home to their mansion and had already called her grandfather. He didn't say anything else and just focused on the road. But Savannah could feel that the man knew she had been watching him since they left the company.That's right! She had already forgotten what happened at her company and who might be behind it because her handsome bodyguard had captured all her attention."If you have been guarding me since I arrived here in the Philippines, how come I didn't know about you and your team? Shouldn't I have been informed that a security team was assigned t

Chapter 5

"You are here."When Savannah heard her grandfather's voice, she quickly moved away from her bodyguard. She also fixed herself, but her rapidly beating heart still hadn't calmed down. She couldn't believe she would feel this attraction to a man she just met!She had seen many men who were better-looking than him. There were also men who tried to get her attention, business partners of her family, but despite their good looks, none of them caught her interest.(But this man is different. He hasn't done much, yet he can make my heartbeat this fast.)(Maybe because he's too close?)It's normal to get closer! Since he just wants to help!(Don't be so affected, Savannah! And you're being so obvious.)"Savannah? Are you okay?"She returned to reality when her grandfather came closer and touched her arm. She looked up and saw his worried face."I-I'm sorry, what is it, Grandpa?" she asked. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ace standing there. His hands were placed in front, and he stood

Chapter 6

Savannah gracefully walked down the stairs wearing a red spaghetti-strap floral fitted maxi dress paired with white satin kitten-heel pumps. She likes to dress up, even without any occasion, even if she's just at home. For her, dressing stylishly creates a fierce and intimidating vibe. Especially now, her visitor is no ordinary person."I heard what happened, Sav! Are you alright?"She could barely stop herself from rolling her eyes when she heard the words of her Uncle Marlon's wife, Mathilda. As usual, she was dressed in an extravagant outfit and adorned with jewelry. She arrived early at her Grandpa Salvattier's mansion upon hearing the news about the incident at the company. She's fast to heard it. But why am I surprised? she has eyes and ears in the company. My company."Good morning, Aunt Mathilda," she greeted the woman without a smile. Mathilda approached and kissed her on the cheek, even holding onto her elbows, while Savannah's hands remained at her sides."You are early. Th

Chapter 7

She almost gasped! Unlike yesterday, with all-black outfits, he was wearing a white fitted shirt and faded jeans. He looked very casual, not at all like a bodyguard on a secret mission!And he looked so good!"Yes? Do you need something from Grandpa?" she asked, trying not to show that she was mesmerized by his appearance again. But as she looked at her handsome bodyguard and waited for his response, she couldn't help but glance at his face.She noticed that his hair was down, and it looked soft. She felt the urge to comb it to see if it was silky. But of course, no! That couldn't happen, it was just a passing thought! (Your thoughts are unbelievable, Savannah!)"I'm waiting for you, Ma'am."Oh, it's her! That actually surprised her but before she could ask why, she glanced behind him, at one of the household staff—Helen. Savannah remembered her Aunt Mathilda, who was surely waiting in the garden. (I almost forgot.)"Did you come here to escort me downstairs?" she asked Ace. When he n

Chapter 8

After Mathilda's visit to Savannah's mansion, her grandfather spoke to her again in the study room to report the fire incident at her company. The work was clean, no traces left. That's what he said. He also showed her the CCTV footage. A dark-skinned man. Completely covered, hardly recognizable. Savannah wondered how he managed to enter her company. It's too suspicious.Savannah knew her grandfather wouldn't overlook this easily, especially since her life was in danger. She immediately thought of her Aunt Mathilda, but this time, her chances of being the culprit, or even her Uncle Marlon, were low. She had a few rival companies, and she had fired employees who did harm to her company.Many could be out to harm her now, and she didn't want to accuse anyone without enough evidence.(But Aunt Mathilda went here because she already knows she's on the list of suspects. There's no other reason. She showed up before being interrogated to avoid looking guilty.)She played with the pen in her

Chapter 9

Savannah is not the type of woman who would make a move just to get a man to notice her. She's not like those eager girls, and aside from that, in the past few years, she hasn't been interested in any man. No one caught her attention or even elicited a mere 'crush'. She was focused on herself, on how she would be strong to defend herself because of the threats to her family.Since her parents died, she trained herself to become mentally and physically strong, so romantic relationships never crossed her mind. Her grandfather never introduced any man to her either. He's strict when it comes to men; he once said he wouldn't just choose any man for her, and arranged marriage is not something he'd consider. He doesn't want to influence her in that way either.That's why she's thankful, but if ever he does introduce someone, she won't readily agree.Savannah sighed softly after she adjusted the curtain by the window of her room. She's looking down. She watched the workers in the Lanai. Her

Chapter 10

Every time Savannah attempts to expose herself to the crowd, or even just in the company lounge where the employees are, as per her psychiatrist's consent, she really can't handle it. Her whole body starts to shake, she doesn't even realize she's having difficulty breathing, and her vision starts to blur. All she can think about is that at any moment, someone will attack her.What happened in the past still haunts her. Sometimes, when she closes her eyes, she sees her parents' bloodied bodies."It takes time, Ma'am Savannah, your condition is not easy," her secretary said with concern. She nodded and took the spoon."Yeah, but I should try... I need to try harder," she replied.Savannah glanced at the spoon, her eyes fixed on the plastic utensil, and a memory suddenly flashed in her mind. The scene where Ace held her hand and fed her."M-Ma'am, why? Is the spoon dirty?" Marina asked, picking up the dropped spoon and promptly throwing it in the trash.Savannah took a deep breath, shoo
