Chapter 1
Savannah remembers sitting on the same seashore every weekend looking at the sun setting down coloring the sky beautifully. She always loved sunsets, she loved watching the little stars pop up in the sky. Her eyes would sparkle just as the bright stars. It was also such beautiful dawn when he confessed his love for her. Savannah released a sigh. Again thinking about him. It's been three years but still, all those memories haunt her. 'How pathetic must I look' she wondered. She sighed again. "Sighing too much isn't good, Savvy," her best friend Mira said giving Savannah a disapproving look. "You shouldn't have let him go, Savvy" Mira commented after few minutes silence. "You know he didn't leave me an option," Savvy said placing her head on her best friends shoulder. "Savvy it's been what? Three years? I think it's high time you move on." Savvy stayed silent for few seconds, " Move on? From what? With what? He was my everything." "Savvy... Do not talk like that! He is gone Savvy. He is gone it's been three years, did you ever once receive a call, a message or even a letter from him?" Savannah stayed silent but that's true. There was never a message from him. Mira stayed silent she let Savvy be in her thoughts. After what seemed like ages Savvy sighed again. "God save you, Savannah Lane," Mira said annoyed. Savvy gave her a sheepish smile, "Enough about me... you tell me how are you feeling?" "Apart from being annoyed at you, I am pretty excited," Mira said suddenly blushing. "Well you must be, you are going to be a mother." "Oh Savvy... I'm scared. Will I be able to take care of the baby? Will I even be a good mom?" "Mira Denver! Listen you are going to be an amazing Mom... Tony would never ever let you be anything else. You both would be great at parenting." She said slightly scolding. "Savvy... what will I do without you?" "Same here." ****** Savannah Lane, freshly graduated from college was looking through her new studio Apartment. The cream walls, Marble flooring, granite kitchen top and a hall with Murphy bed. This is going to be her new place. She started unpacking all her boxes, placing the things where they belong. Taylor Swift's 'I knew you were trouble' was playing in the background. And he's long gone when he's next to me And I realize the blame is on me 'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in So shame on me now Flew me to places I'd never been 'Til you put me down, oh I knew you were trouble when you walked in So shame on me now Flew me to places I'd never been Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble. Huh! She looked through the last box, Where few of her things were there. It was a photo frame of her and him. It was a special frame she made learning all the polishing techniques from her cousin Sharon. 'Savannah & Damon' the frame said. She ran her fingers on the frame by his face. 'Where are you baby? You promised to come back to me. I'm still waiting." She thought. 'Damon Owell'' he came into her life from nowhere and he is out of her life to nowhere. Her eyes misted as she brought the frame close to her chest, Curling down like a baby she let her tears go down. Every night the same thing happens as she closes her eyes in the hope of dreaming about him. Tonight she dreamed of the night where it all started. 'You think all that matters?' Savannah asked Mira c*****g an eyebrow while taking a sip from her glass. "I don't care as long as Tony can deal with it" Savannah still had a grossed out expression from all that they have been talking about. Her eyes suddenly transfixed on someone behind Mira. He was sitting alone running a finger on the rim of his glass. His dark jet black hair was everywhere. He was wearing a black color shirt sleeves folded up and grey color dress up pants. Savannah looked around to notice most of the female population of the bar had their eyes on him. Before anyone could go up she should go' she thought. "I'll come in a minute," she told Mira and rushed towards the stranger. She took the seat next to the stranger, "one Martini please", she told the bartender. He looked up as their eyes met. Savannah took a deep breath as her brown orbs met the dark blue ones. It was as if a deep conflict is going inside him. They just looked like a Window to his soul. But suddenly it was all gone. He masked his face well this time turning back to his glass. Savannah let out some air tapping her fingers on the counter. She let her dark brown curls fall like a curtain between them. The bartender placed the glass before her. She looked through the corner of her eyes he was still staring at his drink. "Are you going to drink it or keep staring at it?" She asked boldly. He released a sigh and turned to look at her. This time his gaze was intense. She suddenly felt exposed as if he could see into her soul. Her heartbeat increased. She was scared of his answer, what if he says that it's none of her business. "I was just thinking," he said as if he is whispering into her ears. She almost didn't listen. Savannah moved close to him, all the alcohol she had been drinking was talking it's toll, "Don't think too much. Do what your heart says." She said. She was just a few inches away from him, her heart was thudding loudly. This was the first time it ever happened to her. She saw the corner of his lips twitch a little into a small smile. Savannah sat straight running a hand through her curls. "Wow," a part of her heart would say. "Woah, you are drunk..," Her brain said. "Do you think it is that easy?" He asked taking a sip from his glass. Savannah blinked. Wait. What?! "Excuse me?" "Following your heart... ?" He asked. "Oho... it is. It is." She said. "How often do you follow your heart?" "Very often," she said. "Even if it's Crazy?" He asked her. Savannah gave him a lopsided grin, "Especially if it is crazy." Her smile was infectious he started smiling too. "I am Savannah..... Savannah Lane." She said sticking out her hand. He looked at her and then her hand, "I am......'Damon Owell''. He said shaking her hand. ******* Savannah woke up with a jolt as her alarm went off. It took her a few seconds to realize where she is, she rushed to her washroom to get ready for the day. She picked up a Dark green color blouse and knee length black skirt and brushed her hair through the curls and left them free. She quickly applied some mascara and eyeliner highlighting her eyes. 'Perfect' she said after applying her lipstick. She wrapped her scarf around her neck and ran out of her house with her bag in one hand and Jacket in other. She promised Sharon to meet for breakfast before she goes to her office. Sharon was waiting for her at the breakfast place. "Good morning Sharon," Savvy chirped throwing her arms around her. "Morning Savvy, How are you?" Sharon asked. "I don't know.... nervous I think," she said looking through the menu. "Nervous is good," Sharon chuckled. "What do you want? I feel like having some pancakes... they have the best pancakes here." "Is it so? Okay then I don't mind pancakes" "How are my little soldiers?" Savvy asked Sharon after they placed their order. "Your little soldiers aren't little anymore." Savannah chuckled at her cousin."You dropped them at school?" "No.. Chris is going to drop them." Sharon replied sipping through her already ordered tea. Savvy let out a small chuckle. "Have you called Momo?" Sharon asked. "Oh.. yeah yesterday night. I am gonna call her after my first day." Savvy said staring at her pancake. Sharon chuckled when she saw Savvy devouring her plate with yes, "Food before anything" Savvy gave her a sheepish grin before jumping into her plate. Yummy was only the word running through her mind at that time. Once she finished her breakfast she wiped her lips and looked at her watch. Her eyes widened as soon as he saw the time. Shit. She is gonna be late. "Sharon I need to rush. I appreciate you coming all the way to support me. " Sharon waved her hand with a scowl, "It is the least I could do. Chris was very disappointed you didn't want to work with him. " She added with a chuckle. "You know I couldn't, This is for me," Savvy said her eyes shining with determination. Sharon nodded, "I understand and he does too, Don't worry." "Okay then... I really need to rush now." She said gathering her things. "All the best" Sharon hugged her goodbye as they parted their ways. *** Savannah breathed in and out. She tried to smell herself 'Do I smell okay?!' She did.... but running ain't a good idea. She threw a quick look at her watch. Nope, she didn't have time to rush to the washroom to give herself a mental talk. The lift ride had to do, However, she had 26 floors to pass. She got into the lift. She knew her legs started to shiver a little. 'Auh.. no.. not with this panicking again. It's okay.. you managed it on the day of the interview. You could manage it now. You should." Terrified by small closed spaces like lifts, Savvy often preferred stairs or escalators. She didn't necessarily get panic attacks but she didn't like lifts that much. She was counting one to god knows how many numbers when she saw a pair of shoes in front of her. She lifted her head slightly to be facing a blue tailored suit back. He was tall she immediately sighed when she realized where her thought process is rushing to Damon has the same height. She saw the jet black hair and sighed again. Savvy please stop. She begged herself to stop. "Nope. I'm already on my way" his rich deep voice startled her. She realized he was talking on the phone. His voice. Oh.. shut up Savvy... it's your mind playing games with you. "Don't worry. I'll ask her out for Dinner" He said. Savvy played with the strap of her coat. Resuming to start counting numbers again. Ting. She looked up to see she reached the 26th floor. She was far too willing to get out of the lift that she accidentally pushed the man standing in front of her. Embarrassed to the roots she frantically muttered a sorry her head held low. Before she could gather up courage and look up the doors of the lift shut close. Rubbing a hand through her face. She turned around taking a deep breath. She immediately straightened her spine. Walking through the busy office she stood in front of the P.A's desk. "Excuse me.. " she said when a petite blonde lifted her head, she handed her the Appointment letter. "Oh.. Ms.Lane. Ms.Ballinger have been waiting for you." She said. By the tone, she understood that her few minutes of tardiness didn't go unnoticed. "Ms.Ballinger. New Assistant Savannah Lane is here... Yes, Ma'am." She said cutting her call. "Please follow me," the woman said They stopped in front of a glass paneled cabin. Ava Ballinger C.F.O "I will not expect such tardiness in my office Ms.Lane," Ava Ballinger said reprimanding. Savannah flushed.."Sorry. Ms.Ballinger." Ava who looked every inch as if she belonged to the Paris fashion week ramp with her beautiful dark blonde hair and perfect body was the C.F.O of the Campbell Corp. Ava nodded. "I hope this won't repeat." She said. "I assure you, Ms.Ballinger," she said. "Amelia show her the way to Liam's office. Ask Belinda to brief her and monitor." Ava said dismissing them. "You are Lucky it's your first day." The blonde whose name Savvy gathered as Amelia said. "She isn't that gracious with people who aren't punctual." "Er.. well then let me thank my lucky stars," she said giving the woman a small smile. The woman smiled back at her walking towards the stairs, "Are we going upstairs?" She asked. Amelia nodded, "You are gonna work with Mr. Campbell," she said. Campbell..?! The owner of the company? Savannah had done her research... Campbell Corp. Was the most reputed company in the whole of the state.. ranking itself in the top 25 best turnover companies in the country. Charles Campbell established the company 1965 and his son Mr. Alex Campbell took over the company in mid-1980s. "Ms.Lane... Are you listening? It's your 1st day and you are already lost in some other world," Amelia said disapprovingly. "Sorry... " Savvy said running a hand through her hair. "You were saying..." "I was saying be careful with your heart around here." Savvy furrowed her eyebrows. "Why,..?" "Mr.Campbell, the junior, of course, is a quite Charmer. " Amelia said. Savvy understood where this conversation is going. She laughed out loud, "Oh... I can manage. If you must know I already have a boyfriend" she said. "Oh, I was just warning you," Now it was Amelia's turn to look flushed. Savvy shook her head smiling. "Oh.. Belinda. This is Ms.Lane, " she said introducing her to the woman in front of her. "Hello... Ms.Lane. " Belinda said smiling brightly. "Hello," Savvy said trying to return her smile. Amelia was telling Belinda something while Savannah looked around, this was a very quiet floor with only a few working tables and half the floor is occupied by the beautiful glass-walled office. She would love to look at the scene from those glass walls from the 27th floor one day. There were no people around. There were a few couches and a big television which was running on IFB News. There was a small corridor at the farther end and she was sure those lead to the board rooms. "All the best, Savannah Lane," Amelia said before walking away. As soon as Amelia was out of sight "Annoying vixen" Belinda muttered under her breath but Savvy caught the words understanding Belinda's feelings towards Amelia. Belinda turned to look at Savvy, "So, Savannah I prefer calling you that. You have no problem right?" Savvy shook her head. "Ok, Savannah the very task for you is... there are files on that desk and I want you to Arrange them in order. And I believe the papers are jumbled up." Savvy there itself knew it would take a lot of her time. "Get started on that and I'll be back. I have to get coffee for Mr.Campbell. He is inside and if he asks to tell him I went to get his coffee." Belinda explained and rushed towards the lift. Savannah looked around taking her coat off and placing her bag on the desk she thought she was assigned. She placed all the files in a neat pile... slowly going through the papers, they looked like some transaction papers with lots of numbers. She took a hair tie from her bag and tied her hair into a high pony. She started going through the dates on the paper and separating them into different months. About five minutes into her work, she heard the same rich baritone deep voice " Belinda... where in the world is my coffee...?" "Sir she went..." Savvy said standing up and looking at him. Her voice died in her throat. In front of her stood the man she has been waiting for three years. Damon.
