Sitting before the designed table, Savador and Mildred thanked Gerald for his kindness, before he made his way to the stage to start the party.When he left, Mildred held Savador by the hand, facing him. Savador felt her grip. He turned to face Mildred and noticed the expression written all over her. "What happened?" He asked her.Mildred lingered her eyes towards Gerald on stage then back on Savador. "Savador, I know that you're the main guest here, but the way that man presented it before these people, sounded like they meant nothing," She said. Hearing her, Savador immediately understood Mildred's worry. It amused the young trillionaire, that he couldn't help but cross his arms and listen to her. "Really? ""Yes. I felt uncomfortable with how he made that statement to them. What if his words had gotten most of the guests angry? They'll feel like they're nothing indeed," She frowned her face."But they have something.""I'm not talking about their wealth. You... Hear me out. "
No doubt at all. Emily was sure that Savador saw her. And to prove that she wasn't seeing things, her mother held her by the arm in delight."Did you see that? Savador just looked at you, " Mrs Sanandrian said, grinning with delight. Shaking Emily's arm excitedly. Emily smiled proudly, as she watched Savador dance with Mildred. "So he knows I'm here. I've been trying to get to him, so he'll know that I'm here. But Savador already knows. I knew that he's trying to get my attention by carrying that filth around. He still loves me and is secretly showing it, " Emily believed, smirking while watching Savador."I know him pretty well. We've been together for two months. I can read him. I knew he couldn't stay angry with me forever. He still wants me, " She grinned in delight.After seeing that sign from Savador, Emily now has a full assurance that getting Savador would be nothing but a piece of cake to her. While the duo continued dancing, other wealthy guests joined them in. The once
The Rich's activities started at the party right after the nice cuisine served to the wealthy guests.The men and women all went to different part of the diamond way Hall to start this fun activities they always take part in every year. These activities weren't mere ones that one will just play and laugh off when loosing. These activities are considered 'Activities for the strong mind'.It deals with one's reputation, business and money. Their games are nothing but risky ones. This will explain Mr Sanandrian's desperation in winning this year's gambling game. He wants to be crown winner over and over, and to solve his hidden problem mWhen this started, Mildred stood close to Savador, watching all the business owners moving from one corner to another.She saw some ladies gathering around a table to gist and some taking part in card games. There were a lot of things there. "Everyone seems to be excited about this activity stuff. Which are you going for?" Mildred asked Savador, cling
Meanwhile, Mildred and her new friends_ which she didn't accept as friends_ took her to a table, surrounded by another group of wealthy ladies, and sat down with her. The ladies they joined, couldn't help but admire Mildred. Welcoming her to the team."It's so nice to have you with us Miss Hathaway.""Thank you, " Mildred appreciated with a smile. Trying her best not to explode out in fear. "You can do this Mildred. Just stay calm and be cool, " She encouraged herself within. Catching her breathe, even though she didn't run a marathon."Okay, so what's happening here? Something fun we presume?" One of the ladies with Mildred, asked the others. The host of that table, responded, " We were just deciding on a naughty game not too long. ""Yes, and we all decided to play a truth or dare game. It's going to be fun! " Another lady said. Hearing this, Mildred's heart skipped. "Truth or dare? Oh geez! " She panicked."What if one of them settle on me and ask me to choose between truth or
At the gambling table, Savador, who has now joined in the game, signalled one of his guards to place two million down for on the table. Mr Sanandrian's eyes widened at the sight of the money."It's my first time playing. I hope you all don't mind? " Savador smiled, showing his innocence. The others looked at him and smiled. Hearing that he's new to the game, they felt it'll be easy to take a lot from the Trillionaire. "Sure, we don't mind at all, " They all said.Mr Sanandrian looked at Savador, as he stayed focused on the game. Remembering how poor he used to be back then. "He couldn't even get himself a penny back then. But look at him now. He's holding millions like it's nothing but mere change to him, " Mr Sanandrian observed. "If I wasn't strict to my boy, he wouldn't have become the man he is today," Mr Sanandrian smirked. Feeling he's the reason behind Savador's new found life. The game started and
Meanwhile, at the table where Mildred sat with the group of wealthy ladies and her enemies, the host of the game placed a bowl with wrapped papers in it, right in the center and told everyone to pick."It has every position set for this game. From first player to the last. Pick yours and let the game begin, " She said, placing the diamond bottle on the table. Mildred glanced at the bottle, the bowl containing the positions, then at Emily. She met Emily and her mother glaring at her already.Mildred directed her eyes away from them and acted like she didn't see both mother and daughter. But deep within her, she was calming her worries and encouraging herself not to be weak. The bowl is passed round and everyone got to pick their paper. Opening it up next. "Yeah! I'm second!""I'm first! ""Awwn, I'm tenth, last position. Still fine though."The ladies called out their position.Mildred watched them all, as they opened their papers and rejoiced or complained about their position."Se
"How's that possible?""We didn't see when you spin the bottle."The ladies complained about the sudden surprise from Emily. They wondered when she spun the bottle and how it landed on Mildred suddenly. "There has to be a mistake. How come it's pointing at me? " Mildred asked, staring at Emily.She couldn't believe that Emily had spun that bottle till it stopped at her.Emily rolled her eyes at Mildred, crossing her arms with pride. "When you dimwits were busy with only God knows what...""Hey! We're not dimwits" One of the ladies roared at Emily.Emily showed no concern while talking. "I spun the bottle like everyone else and it landed right on her. So now what? You all want to say I cheated because you failed to pay close attention?" Emily questioned them. Acting like she has been wrongly accused. Mildred still believed that Emily purposely placed that bottle at her direction."She couldn't have spun it. She's lying," Mildred believed.But despite everything, the host accepted E
Mildred is still in shock on the dare given to her. She sees how all the ladies supported the tenth player in her decision, which only made Mildred worried. "No, no. I can't do that. Like I said, he's my friend," Mildred explained.But they wouldn't take her words. "We don't want to hear that sweetheart.""You have to do it. ""It's the same plan I had in mind if she had fallen into my trap. Thank God someone else had the same idea as me. "This left Mildred astonished. The one who was shocked the most was Emily. She found this dare as nothing but a problem for her. "Listen to them! They are pushing her to kiss your husband. Don't allow it my child, " Mrs Sanandrian advised her daughter. Not in support of their plan, Emily voiced out at once, "She said she doesn't want to do it. Why are you all forcing her to kiss him anyway? ""You aren't her mouth, please. ""You had your own fun when you questioned her to share the truth. So back off. "Their response left Emily annoyed. "I
This left Carlos, Emily and the Sanandrian family stunned. Indeed it's Savador and Mildred standing right in the party hall. "What is he doing here? " Carlos groaned at the sight of Savador."I thought I told those idiots to handle him? " He tightened his hand into a fist.Savador wore a nice back suit, with a gold wristwatch. His appearance gave that fancy and high class vibe.Mildred wore a beautiful dress of good taste, standing next to Savador with her eyes fixed on Emily and Carlos. Their presence made those guests that liked them, pleased at last. Ferman and Anna were glad to see both Savador and Mildred as well. Savador's presence made Emily and her family uncomfortable. They moved closer to Emily and Carlos, asking why Savador is here at the party. "I thought you said you took care of him? " Mr Sanandrian questioned Carlos."Yes, I did. I ordered those stupid guards to toss him far from this place where he can't return back.""Well it seems your men didn't hear you clearl
The D day finally came. The Montreal's mansion had lots of guests that came to attend the party Emily organized, to celebrate her family and Carlo's comeback. She also invited those that made fun of them, and gave them an uncomfortable spot at the party. When those that mocked them arrived at the party, the guards will check their name to see if they are under Emily's naughty list. Then he'll take them to a corner, which was a bit far from the party _but still in the party hall_ and leave them there to sit. Those that fell into such group were treated like a low class. Even the rich ladies that sided with Mildred and not Emily, were invited to the party. Emily also made them sit at the corner like they were poor."How insulting!""We shouldn't be here. ""I only came here to see our friend Mildred. We need to know what happened to her. "The ladies murmured where they sat, watching the lavish party taking place before them.The Sanandrian family wore expensive attires _ especially
Just then, Emily steps into the living room to meet Carlos. She just got back from her parents place and asked for Carlo's whereabout. In which a maid showed her. "My love," Emily called, cat walking to meet Carlos.Seeing her, Carlos sent the staff worker out of his home, dismissing him at once.The staff felt pleased when Carlos permitted him to leave. He couldn't stand his presence any more.He immediately left the mansion, leaving Emily and Carlos alone in the living room.With a smile, Emily walked up to Carlos, sat on his lap, and planted a kiss on his lips. "How was the visitation? " Carlos asked, caressing Emily's waist. "It was fine. My family sends their greetings to you," She said, holding Carlos, resting her head on him. "That's good. I'm glad that they are doing well, " Carlos said. Emily giggled and said, " I was thinking of something while coming here. "Emily lifted her head off Carlos to face him properly. "Thinking of what? " Carlos asked. Emily smirked and s
With Savador's wealth in their hold, both Carlos and the Sanandrian family were finally back on their feet. Mr Sanandrian and his son, Jeremy, got the company kicking again, with their old partners coming back to work with them. But filled with pride, they made it hard for those companies and their CEOs to return back. They showed off their new wealth and rejected those that left them when they needed their support. Mr Sanandrian's pride rose to the top."We don't need you or your company any more. The Sanandrian will only work with those who are worthy of our status, " Mr Sanandrian bragged. They only accepted those companies that always joined hands with them in doing illegal activities, which are wrong in the city. Mrs Sanandrian had the highest pride ever.She resumed with her habit of shopping and buying expensive, latest items for herself. Her old friends that left her, came gathering Mrs Sanandrian and treating her like a queen.She used her new found wealth and new high
Sitting in his new room, Carlos had a guard standing before him, reporting about his old room and the items that are no longer there."That room is empty like the desert itself. All my things... You allmoved them to a filthy store? " He questioned the guard.Bowing his head at Carlos, the guard explained, " It wasn't our doing sir, it was the Don's...""What? " Carlos glared at the guard on hearing him call Savador, Don."What did I hear you call that beggar? " Carlos asked the guard, lifting his brow at him."My apologies sir. I didn't... I forgot," He apologized to Carlos.But he wasn't satisfied. "You easily referred to that thief as your Don and me as Sir? Wawu," He chuckled, rising to his feet. The guard doesn't move but remained where he stood. "It was a mistake," The guard said. Carlos scoffed at his words. "A mistake huh? Alright then." He hovered his gaze around the room before dropping it back on the guard. Pointing at him, he said, "I haven't forgotten what you and the
Carlos stepped into the mansion gracefully, with both hands in his pocket, staring right at Savador. "Did you miss me? " He chuckled right at Savador."Carlos? What are you doing here? " Savador questioned him."How did you get in?" Savador stepped away from Jeremy's point, about approaching his cousin."My love! "Savador heard, before seeing Emily racing right into Carlo's arms, kissing him. "What?" Savador gazed in shock. Emily and Carlos drew their lips apart to face Savador."What happened? Cat got your tongue?" Carlos asked Savador, while Emily buried herself in his hold. "You two have been working together?" Savador pointed out, asking.Emily rolled her eyes at Savador's words, lifting her gaze at Carlos, saying, " We haven't been working together, but seeing each other."Carlos dropped his eyes on Emily, letting out a curve to the lips. "He's my sweetheart. Of course we'll still see each other ," Emily added, facing Savador back.Savador stared at them, remembering the ti
"Yes, they are leaving for good. Finally!" Emily rejoiced while watching Mildred and Frank exit the mansion together."Those two have been my problem for long now. With them gone, I can freely have my way, " She viewed, smirking out with delight.Lowering her gaze on the document in her hold, Emily couldn't wait to sign the papers and become a wealthy lady again. This time, she'll be a trillionaire. "I want to sign it now, but... I need to do something so Savador won't see me like someone who cares only about his wealth. What if he's testing me? Like... The way he just brought the papers before me... I need to be careful," Emily reasoned. She didn't think about this before because of excitement, but now she does and don't want to fall into a surprise trap. She lifted her gaze at Savador and met him staring at the door with his lawyer looking at him silently. She cleared her throat, gaining Savador's attention on her. "Savador, this is not right, " She said, staring at the documen
"She will do no such thing! " Mildred yelled out. She stepped away from Frank and moved closer to Savador and Emily, almost grabbing the papers from Emily's hands. But Savador blocked Mildred from coming nearer to Emily. Using his arm to block her path. "What do you think you're doing?" He questioned Mildred, pushing her back from Emily's point.Emily _who had the plan of hitting Mildred, if she had touched her_ stood behind Savador, acting like a saint.She held him from behind, staring at a furious Mildred from her point. The fire in her eyes got Emily shivering within. She could no longer recognize the weak Mildred she knows."You have to be joking, Savador. You are transferring your entire property to Emily? Have you lost your mind? " Mildred questioned, getting angry more. Savador hummed and asked her, " Why does it concern you?"Mildred stared harder at him. "It's my decision and not yours. I have chosen to will my property to Emily. She deserves it all. ""SHE DESERVES N
"If I see you anywhere in this mansion after twenty minutes, I will make you regret it, " Savador warned Frank.His decision over his P. S left everyone present, stunned. The only happy person there was Emily. She almost laughed out on hearing Savador's judgement over Frank. Best moment ever. "At last, Savador has done something right for once. He has shown this proud servant his place. Excellent," She smiled staring at Frank and Mildred. "I hope he sends her away too. She's an obstacle in my way, " Emily groaned. "Savador, you can't do this. You can't fire Frank, " Mildred voiced out, holding Frank's hand worrily. But Savador won't change his mind. He repeated his words to Frank and told him to get his things and leave the mansion. Without fighting over his position, Frank bowed at Savador and said, "As you wish, Master Savador. "He turned his back and exited the living room."Frank! Please wait! " Mildred called chasing after him. She also left the room. The frightened serva
