Night at Sanandrian's mansion. In sat Mr and Mrs Sanandrian, laughing with Emily and Carlos.
Mildred stood by the center table, pouring out their drinks for them. She couldn't stand their roaring laughters while talking about Savador and calling him a fool. It made her feel uncomfortable."A toast to a new beginning!" Mrs Sanandrian raised in joy. Taking hold of her wine before Mildred could pour it to the brim.They all took their glasses as well and lifted it up to make a cheers. About clinging their glasses and cheering out, Jeremy stepped in with two big bottles of wine."Jeremy! You still went ahead to get the wine? " Emily gasped at her brother in amusement.Jeremy laughs and says, "It's a night of celebration dear sister. A day to celebrate your return from the poor man's den."They all laughed out loudly.Mildred stepped aside when Jeremy came near. She watched them all as they stood up with their glasses to make a toast."Cheers to a new beginning for my darling Emily and her wonderful, I mean, our amazing Carlos, " Mrs Sanandrian raised once again.They all clinged glasses and chorused out the word, 'Cheers', in delight. Laughing out in excitement before taking in their drink.Mildred swayed her head at their actions. She took her eyes away from them and remained at her stand.She has been told to stay there and serve them, while they celebrate their victory. It's not her first time standing aside like a statue, serving the family. She does it during other occasions, which appeared fine. But tonight's celebration turned out to be her least favorite."This is sweet, " Mr Sanandrian commented on the wine he sipped in, as they all sat down back to continue."Yes, it's sweet. But not as sweet as our daughter's return," Mrs Sanandrian said, smiling at Emily and Carlos.The two held each other's hands with pride."You are right my dear. Tell us again Emily. Tell us how that poor fool ran away like a baby," Mr Sanandrian mocked Savador."Let me say it this time. Can't let my sweetheart take all the credits, " Carlos said, kissing Emily on the cheek.The family are pleased with what they're seeing."Alright, you can say it," Emily allowed Carlos.Carlos narrates to them all over again, how Savador stood in sadness before running away at the sight of the divorve paper.To them, it's an hilarious tale, but to Mildred... It's totally the opposite.Where she stood, she felt her heart aching, as she wondered what state Savador might be in. Her heart broke more, just listening to the Sanandrian's and how they bemocked Savador."That's so hilarious. I wish I was there to witness his downfall. That bastard dared to give my father a paper as a gift. How I wish I smacked his face with my fist, " Jeremy said, demonstrating how he would have handled Savador.Emily laughs and asks him why he didn't do it. "Where you scared that he'd bite back? " She teased her brother."Haha, very funny. At least what I had in mind wasn't as diabolical as yours, " Jeremy said, smirking at Emily. Who found his words as a praise."Thank you, " She appreciated."I never knew you were acting. I thought you really married that beggar out of love. Never knew you and Carlos planned everything. You two are nasty, " Jeremy commented.Carlos proudly thanked Jeremy. Telling him that the idea was all his. "I challenged Emily to marry a poor man and spend a month with him.""Yes, and I stayed for two good months. Meaning you owe me double the price money, " Emily reminded Carlos. Kissing him on the lips."Consider it done. You won the game after all. You deserve triple my love, " Carlos promised Emily.This delights her more.Jeremy smiles and goes further to praise their intelligence. Insulting Savador and calling him names."I hope he rots wherever he is. Thinks he can come into our home and be a part of our family. The Sanandrian's don't take janitors as a son in law. We are of high class, " Jeremy bragged.The family backed him up."The bloody fool. ""Poor bastard. I hope to see him crying mop water."They all laughed out."ENOUGH! "The family are stunned from the sudden roar that came from no other person than Mildred.The furious maid stood at the corner, tightening her hand into a fist."That's enough! You people have gone way too far with your nonsense," She sparked out in anger."Excuse me? " Emily rose to her feet, on hearing Mildred speak against them."Who invited a maid into our conversation? Your duty is to serve us and not to blab where you don't belong, " Emily said, glaring at Mildred.Mildred sees the eyes of the family on her. She never expected to burst out that way. But their attitude and wickedness towards Savador, left her no choice."You all are cruel. You're heartless. How did that man offend you people for you all to treat him unfairly? He never did anything wrong. You all wronged him, " Mildred voiced out.Her words got everyone to their feet, fixing their raging eyes on her as she pointed out their doings.Mildred blames them all for their own situation. "Your daughter accepted to ruin an innocent man's life just for millions, and you're happy about it? Savador never wronged you all. You all are the ones who came into his life like the monsters you are. ""Shut up, Mildred, " Emily ordered, stepping closer to her.But Mildred refused. She faced Emily straight up and called her the ultimate monster. "You are the worst human being I have ever come across in my entire life. You are worst than the devil himself.""SHUT UP!" Emily roared at Mildred. Slapping her hard across the face.Mildred gasped when she felt the impact of Emily's slap. She held her face and looked at her.Her eyes all red, as she pointed at Mildred and said, " One more word from that filthy mouth of yours and I'll end you. "Touching her cheek, Mildred could feel her face shivering due to the slap from Emily. She lifted her eyes at the furious lady before her, as she threatened to deal with Mildred, if she spoke ill about them ever again. "Just listen to that gutter mouth of hers! A maid speaking back to the ones providing her food! What rubbish!" Mr Sanandrian sparked. Stamping his feet hard to the ground. "She has no shame talking about who's at fault and all that. I feel like smacking her across the head. Why is she here anyway? " Jeremy groaned. "Why hire such a disrespectful woman like her? Where did you find this fool? " Carlos asked, glaring at Mildred. "The slum of course. Just like all her dirty poor friends. She came begging at our doorstep for money. A foolish girl you are, " Mrs Sanandrian said, insulting Mildred. "Why won't she defend a fellow slum? She herself knows her place as a poor filth from the gutters. It's easy for her to identify her kind," Emily said, staring down at Mildred.
The days went fine like always, until it turned dark on a particular morning. Wednesday morning, at around seven forty five A. M, Don Pablo Montreal took his last breathe on earth. The news of his death went wild like a forest fire. Spreading far and near by the media, who took up the shocking news and shared to the world. "At around five zero four in the morning, Don Pablo Montreal fell into a terrible state and was rushed to the hospital for immediate help. The richest man took his last breathe after the doctors tried all their best to save his life from an illness he's been battling for some time. We pray for his gentle soul to find peace in the heavens, " The news announced. Tears filled the eyes of many. Don Pablo's mansion was filled up with wealthy friends of the old man. All in black to mourn the death of a great business man. Carlos, who sat there holding his grandfather's photo, couldn't help but stay frozen like a lost man. Emily sat next to him, pacifying his broken
Savador stepped into the living room, looking at the faces of the ones that ruined his life. "What are you doing in my mansion?!" Carlos roared, rising to his feet. Emily and her family joined Carlos too. They are stunned to see Savador in the mansion. "Who allowed this runt into my mansion? Who's in charge of the gates?!" Carlos roared out. Calling out to the securities and bodyguards in the mansion. "The audacity! He even came in with that dirty sandal of his. Goodness! This mansion is going to start smelling," Mrs Sanandrian complained. Holding her nose. "What are you looking for? Get out! " Jeremy roared at Savador. Savador stared at their faces, before dropping his eyes on Emily. When she saw him looking at her, she glared back at him. Pulling Carlos closer to herself. "Where are the guards for goodness sake! I want to know why this beggar is in my home! " Carlos roared. Seeing how he roared, Savador scoffed at Carlos. Stepping further into the mansion. When Carlos saw t
"This is Savador Rosario. His real name is Sebastian Montreal, the missing grandson of Don Pablo Montreal," The lawyer revealed. His words left both Emily and her family shocked. They wondered if the lawyer is pulling their legs. "That can't be possible. This is Savador the janitor. How is he related to Don Pablo? It's not possible! " Emily refused to believe it. "I smell a foul act here. This bastard is busy trying to prank us all. Carlos, get the police now! " Jeremy suggested. He too refused to accept what the lawyer had said. Even Mr and Mrs Sanandrian suggested that Carlos call the police to arrest Savador for thinking he can outsmart them. "He's not only a beggar, but a thief too. He wants to reap where he didn't sow, " Mrs Sanandrian sparked. "Is the truth that bitter to consume? " Savador questioned them. Proudly sliding his hands into his pocket. "If you don't want to believe it, then sulk on it. I am Don Pablo's missing grandson and Carlos missing cousin." "Shut up! "
"What are you saying, Savador? We can't be over. I'm your wife and you are my husband. Our marriage can't be over," Emily said, refusing to accept Savador's rejection. She felt her heart pounding just thinking of Savador leaving her alone and enjoying himself with his wealth. She didn't want to be left out. "Maybe you should have thought about that when you proudly slapped me, called me a poor bastard, and slammed the paper before me, " Savador said, reminding Emily of her doing. Emily sways her head, telling Savador that she was playing. "I was just joking then. Can't you take a joke, huh?" She asked, taking hold of Savador's hands. When he felt her grip, Savador pulled Emily's hand off his. "Don't touch me with that hand of yours or you'll regret it, " Savador warned Emily. Glowering at her. Emily sees the rage in his eyes. She feels her body shiver while staring right at him. "What are you saying Savador? You can't treat your wife like this. Have you forgotten how much she lov
"How dare these fools throw us out like beggars?" Jeremy sparked while dusting his cloth from dirts.Emily, who was in her mother's hold, kept her gaze right at the large mansion of the late Don Pablo, which now belongs to her ex husband, Savador.Her hand tightening into a fist. Recurring what Savador said to her right inside the mansion.She felt annoyed with the treatment she got from Savador. To her, it wasn't right."After everything I did for him. After all the support I gave to him in the past two months, he chose to treat his own wife like a stranger? " Emily sparked out. Moving her mother's arms off her body. Her mother, Mrs Sanandrian, moved closer to her daughter, despite the fact that Emily didn't want her patting or holding her. "Don't worry my girl. He can't stay angry with you forever. He will surely come back for you. Just have faith, " Mrs Sanandrian assured her daughter."Yes my girl. Have faith and see how that lovely man will return back into your arms. He's just
Savador watched how the bodyguards dragged Emily and her family, including Carlos, out of the mansion.Carlos roared at the body guards. Ordering them to let go off him, while the Sanandrian called out to him. Begging him to forgive them. The Sanandrian's plea, reminded Savador of the past, and how they treated him like an abomination.The torment he went through in their hands, all because he got married to their daughter, Emily."Savador, please! " Emily yelled while being dragged away. "I love you!" She shouted.With a groan of irritation, Savador turned his back, until the voice of both Sanandrian and Carlos faded away slowly."That serves them right, " He said, walking towards one of the couch. Only for him to step on the divorce paper Emily had brought to him. Staring at it, brought back sad memories into Savador's heart. Memories he wish he could wipe out from his head. It still felt like yesterday to him, when he first met Emily one fateful night. He was returning back fro
Staring out through the window, watching his cousin walking away slowly from the gate, Savador felt a hand touch him suddenly from behind.When he felt that, he immediately turned over to find his late grandfather's personal servant, Frank, standing right behind him. "My apologies Master Savador. Didn't mean to startle you in that manner, " Frank apologized to Savador. Bowing his head to show his respect towards his new Master. "It's fine, " Savador said to Frank. Still looking at the personal servant, who stood close to him. Savador had wanted to ask who he was at first. But when he looked clearly at the face of Frank, he remembered the fellow instantly. "I remember you. The time I went to see my grandfather, you where with him, " Savador pointed out. Recurring that day. Frank was the one who drove Don Pablo Montreal to the assigned place the late Don had wanted to see Savador then. His standing pose, face, and uniform, flashed in Savador's head. Bringing out the image Frank on
