Towards the evening, Mildred, who has been walking around the mansion _ from one part of the mansion to another , like someone lost_ carefully made her way back to her room.Her mind so occupied with many things, that she couldn't concentrate on herself. All she's thinking about is how to remove Emily from Savador's life completely. "I need a way out, " She sighed, walking towards her room. That's when Mildred _ who had her eyes lowered down to the ground, coming_ noticed a figure ahead of her.She lifted her gaze and found Savador standing outside her room, waiting for her.Her heart gave a skit on seeing him. She almost placed a stop to her feet, but didn't. She continued to walk ahead."He's here, " She said within her heart.When she got closer to Savador, he cleared his throat and said, "I was looking for you. Was about knocking the door when I saw you coming. " He pointed at the direction she came from. "Oh, yeah, " She uttered, dropping her eyes off him.Looking at Mildred,
Mildred joins the party.Many that saw her, asked her questions on why she was absent."The unveiling was so beautiful, but incomplete without you.""Was there an important work that got you stuck? "They kept asking her questions, just to know exactly where she was.All Mildred could tell them was that an issue came up. "I had to attend to it quickly," She said."Oh, okay. It's fine.""But it would have been nice if you were present.""Such a beautiful opening."They kept talking about the opening, not knowing how hard it was affecting Mildred. Where she stood, she traced her eyes to Savador's point at the other side of the party.He stood with some rich men, talking.Mildred feels like meeting with him and explaining what had happened.She doesn't want him thinking that she intentionally decided to show up late for the opening. "I have to speak with him, " She decided. She excused herself from the guests and made her way to meet Savador. "Mildred! " Someone called out to her fro
After that day, things between Savador and Mildred changed.That beautiful bond and friendship was now gone. Savador and Mildred no longer talked to each other. Mostly, Savador no longer spoke or looked at Mildred like before. This brought delight to Emily. She found so much joy watching how Mildred and Savador would walk pass each other like strangers.She immediately seized this opportunity to get closer to Savador.When Savador is heading for work in the morning, Emily immediately rushed to attend to him with breakfast. "I know you haven't eaten anything yet and you might not accept mine as well. But please, just take this along with you in case you fall hungry. It's up to you to do whatever you want with it, " She had said, handing Savador a flask with the meal she prepared. Emily had thought he won't take it, but Savador surprisingly did. He took it and left the mansion for work.This brought happiness to Emily at once. She managed to hide it from Savador, by acting like a s
Everything has changed.Savador now sees Emily as a friend, instead of the woman who once married and divorced him for millions.He now moves around with her like she owns the mansion too.This changes slowly brought out Emily's true nature. She began showing her cruelty to the maids that used to play with her then. She no longer viewed them as people worthy to talk to her. This time, she insults them and reminds them of their position in the mansion. "Don't speak to me like we are mates. We are nothing like that, you poor maids from the slum, " She insulted them.Her behavior got the maids upset, that they stopped talking with her, but serving her like the servants they are.To prove her worth in Savador's life and mansion, Emily goes to meet Savador in his study room with Frank, and requested for a change of room. "I didn't tell you this then, but the servants always disturb me at night with their snores. You can easily hear it echoing through the walls right into my room. Please
Mildred got herself ready for the day.According to Frank, Savador won't be going to the office but heading out for a quick work towards the evening. Mildred decided to make things ready for his birthday, before he returns back to the mansion."I'll speak to him first before he leaves, so he'll know that I need him, " She said, stepping down the stairs, looking for Savador.She arrived at the bottom and saw the celebrant exiting the living room, heading towards the stairs where she stood, talking to someone on the phone."Yes, I know. I'll be there, " Savador said to the receiver.He ends the call and finally lifts his gaze to the stairs, to find Mildred there.She chose to wait for him there, since he was coming.When Savador drew near her, he took his eyes off Mildred and attempted to walk pass her. "Savador," Mildred called, taking hold of his arm. That got him facing her back.Their eyes came locking with each other, making Mildred feel emotional within."Yes? " He asked, retre
Her heart pounding at the sight of this. Mildred couldn't believe her eyes. The one she had invited over to Gallery Royale to surprise him for his birthday, is busy celebrating with Emily.Mildred watched how Savador laughed with Emily, when she placed the cake down and told him to blow the candles. "Hurry before the cake runs, " Emily joked, causing everyone to laugh, including Savador.This stung Mildred hard where she stood.She felt her heart pounding profusely, like it's going to pop out from her chest. "He's here? " She uttered, looking at a happy Savador.Frank stood at a corner watching the celebration. He had no interest in joining them, knowing that the set up was made by Emily. For him, it's like joining an initiation to Emily's kingdom. "This is so annoying, " He groaned, rolling his eyes away. Just for him to spot Mildred at the entrance, watching in shock. "Miss Hathaway," Frank mentioned, getting worried.He immediately left his spot and ran up to Mildred.A froze
Shocked, that's how Emily was on seeing the rage all over Savador.She couldn't tell if this is still the same Savador that was laughing with her at the party or not."No, he's just upset because of what that maid did. I need to show him my support. He needs to get over her once and for all, " She planned within.Putting on an innocent face, Emily drew closer to Savador and said, "Savador, I know you're angry. What Mildred did wasn't right. I... "She attempted to touch him on the shoulder, but... "GET OUT! " Savador roared at her. In fear, Emily exited the room without waiting for him to give another order. Once she came outside the room, Emily turned back to look at Savador again, but came face to face with a slammed door.She staggered back at once. "What was that?" She stared in astonishment. "The rage in his eyes were intense. I wasn't expecting this from him. I wasn't, " Emily said, trying to put herself together."I thought everything was falling into place. Why did he bur
"Are you mad?" Emily questioned Carlos."How many times will one have to tell you that Savador owns this empire? Where you deaf when the lawyer showed you the proof? " She questioned further, glowering at Carlos. Her sudden involvement surprised Savador and Frank. They weren't expecting her to come in. "Waw, waw, Waw! So the filthy Sanandrian daughter has returned back to her slum husband. How wonderful. The prodigal wife and thief husband," Carlos said, pointing at the both of them. "Mind how you speak Carlos? Remember this isn't your home anymore. This place belongs to Savador. You are speaking as if your life is better." She dimmed her eyes at him."Yeah, my life is better. At least my name isn't going around as a deceiver and crook. Emily Sanandrian, the deceiver of both rich and poor. I watch the news. So, I am way better than you, " Carlos scoffed at Emily.She tightened her fist in anger and sparked, "You are the reason why I'm in this situation and I regret every thing that
