Chapter 18 - Chapter 18 - Pride In The Pain

Savannah's House

I was returning home from my hectic day at the hospital. Yeah, I was told I should go to YouHeal Hospital today rather than Mansion.

Arthur texted me this morning saying "- Hi Ms. Miller, I am texting to inform you that you do not need to come to the mansion today; the director will inform you further. Have a great day."

As of around 9, I received a message from the hospital telling me to come there today and be present. All this seemed strange to me, but it isn't my business, mansion? Um I was against it from the start, not going there in that enclosed place just seemed too good to me.

Fortunately, this won't last long as the director of our hospital told me that it's only for today. I will be able to visit the mansion as usual starting tomorrow.

After pressing my floor in the elevator, I waited a few seconds until the elevator door opened. Once outside my apartment door, I noticed an envelope-looking piece of paper outside my door.

I bent down and took it, looked for a name or something, but nothing, all white piece of envelope. I put it in my purse, rang the doorbell, and it wide opened and I was attacked by my only son and my best friends, all of whom were gathered here and dragged me inside.

The inside of the apartment made me want to throw my hands at my best friends,

what they had done to my apartment. Everything was messed up, bottles? What kind of bottles are they? I looked at my best friend sharply and she turned the other way, cans of beer scattered all over, food strewn all over the floor, clothes, what are they doing here?

What's going on here?" They smiled innocently, yet cheekily, and then said, "We celebrated a little." I arched my brows at their reply. Araceli who had been looking at the other side all along now has come forward. "Sav, you know what?" she said, holding my hands in hers, and I glanced at them both one by one in order to inquire about what had happened. "Her date went well," she cheerfully said, while Emilia stood shyly beside her.

'They are official together?" shocked I glanced at Araceli who was still standing shy. "Is it true?" I asked her. She nodded happily. I went to her and congratulated her, "Okay, I understand, but that doesn't mean you guys can just barge in and mess up my entire place as if it had been hit by a tornado."

"I want this place cleaned before I wake up in the morning," they both looked at each other in confusion when I said that, but when they finally understood, they hugged each other enthusiastically, "that means you'll join them too mommy?" As the cutie Theo sat on the couch with his arms folded in front of his chest asked me, "Just a little, baby, as I'm exhausted as well." Walking up to him and sitting next to him, I said, he nodded and turned to me, "Times up for me, I'm gonna study now mommy, love you." He kissed my cheeks before going to his room, see, he has certain times for everything, "Aww cute little family, adorable," they said watching us, "I'll be back."

Baldwin's Mansion

Author's POV

In his hot bubble tub, Blaze relaxed with damp hair slicked back, eyes closed, both arms on either side of the tub edge, somewhat relaxed him and his mind. He had his chest filled with black ink half submerged in the water in the tub they came all over popping up his arms and necks, although ink filled them his veins were so see through to be seen and this made him look like a pure Greek god, as his phone rang, which was placed beside the tub. With his index finger, he answered.

"Hello Mr. Blaze" the speaker said, "Hm" Blaze hummed eyes still closed, "There's no information about Mr. Morales, and I'm a bit worried." He continued "We've been searching for him for a week, but haven't found him, and I believe we should alert the police." "Our business is at stake-" he continued.

"He died" out of nowhere Blaze said something that shocked the speaker "W-what Mr Baldwin?" he stammered "He was being nonchalant to me, so I sliced him into pieces" an evil smile appeared on Blaze's face.

"Mr Baldwin are you kidding-" he got interrupted again, "Did you want some of his meat" he added, "I would suggest, a thigh piece would be the best" the speaker was now out of words, terrified, now scared of Blaze. "M-m- mr" Blaze hung up. He got out of the tub and putted on his white robe and walked out to thr bedroom not forgetting to take his phone still placed on tub edge.

A glass of juice in his left hand and an Ipad in his right, he made his way down the stairs and sat on one of the couches placed in the living area, it was different today, his whole was in chaos, all of his men were going from here and there walking back and fourth in the mansion area, "Is everything done?" Blaze questioned Arthur who stood beside him eyes still on his Ipad, "Almost Boss, the study room is still a little mess but they're doing their best" Arthur informed his Boss who just engraved his eyes onto the screen, "And about Ms. Miller?" He again questioned something in a mysterious wat which was kind if hard to get a hold of, "Yess, Boss it's been done" this time Blaze nodded his head and looked through Savannah's Socialgram account, eyes scanning every picture that she had posted, all the information she had mentioned, Blaze got through this all, but why? Blaze's eye caught onr specific photo and he clicked, making it bigger on screen, it was a picture of Savannah and Theo, Savannah holding theo in her arm and Theo doing the same, they looked so happy in this picture that would make anyone melt but it wasn't the case for Blaze, he looked Annoyed? No, more like he looked pissed, there was something in his eyes, hatred, his eyes were envious this time and he clenched his fist onto the Ipad, almost breaking it and it broke, Arthur watched all these silently, eyes going back and fourth between his Boss and the Ipad.
