Savanna Return

I GOT off the plane smiling, my flight from Europe was almost a few hours. And now my neck is still a bit sore from being so tired. I can't express my joy that after a period of time. I was once again able to set foot in my country of origin.

After taking a suitcase, I went out of the big terminal. From the opening of the door, I immediately saw a man wearing a white uniform. He came to me and took my suitcase.

"Welcome home Ma'am Savanna!" greeted me the driver whom I just hired online.

“Thank you! Your uniform looks good on you," I said while walking towards the car.

I didn't even wait for him to open the door for me because I'm used to being served myself. The young driver smiled before pulling the bag and placing it in the back of the car. After putting my stuff away, I got into the Aston Martin One car that my friend in Europe gave me as a gift.

He has a family in the Philippines, his daddy is rich and owns a car dealership.

"Ma'am, where are we?" asked the male driver.

"In Victoria De Makati," I replied which the driver immediately followed.

I will only live in the condo for the time being, because I want to surprise my return home to the mansion. I will wait to talk to my lawyer, to get the title of the house and land in my name. A few hours before we arrived at the condo, the place was big and comfortable. It is also owned by my friend in Europe, that's why everything I do here in the Philippines I can comfortably do because of my friend's help.

I made a lot of friends in Europe, and Harvey was one of them who gave me everything. I know Harvey likes me, but I try to put aside his feelings for me. Due to many reasons, one of which is that I don't want to get in the way of my plan. And if I love, maybe someone will stop what I do. Because of my friends why I became successful in life.

They will support me, so that I can finish my college. And because of my efforts, I got the diploma I wanted. I have a good job in Europe, I am an asset that business men are vying for. With my beauty, charm and melodious voice I get what I want immediately. That's why I earn a lot there. I took a temporary leave to deal with my past, and that's why I came home to the Philippines.

To finish the mission I promised my parents before. In the evening, I went to the lobby to confront the lawyer I hadn't seen in a long time. I remember when I was ten years old, I was crying while Atty was talking to me. Romero about my heirs. But because I wasn't naive then, I didn't understand the value of wealth. After a few minutes I saw the old lawyer. It looked around the door, as if it was looking for something to meet. So I smiled before waving at him. He glanced at me, but first he turned to his seat. Maybe it's finding out if it's really him I'm calling. He came up to me and frowned when he asked, he was wearing high grade glasses and his hair was almost white.

"Ms. Jamaica Hanson? Is that you?" I smiled before nodding. The old man didn't know that I changed my name and surname so that no one would recognize me.

"Yes Attorney. It's me," I replied with a smile, The old man looked at me from head to toe, the look of amazement obvious.

“Is this true? Wow, you're so beautiful, you look like a model. Do you participate in pageants?” I just laughed at this,

"You really are an attorney, you praise me too much. Let's sit down so we can talk properly." Atty and I both seat down.

There is still a trace of amazement on his face Atty. Romero.

"I came back here to the Philippines to regain my right to Don Roberto's wealth," I told Atty.

"Is that so? I don't know if we can go after everything. Because Cynthia is already in another country. Only her son managed the mansion and Don Roberto's remaining business," explained the Attorney.

"I don't care who else owns or manages them. I will do anything, to get the wealth that is rightfully mine. And I don't need the approval of any of their mothers!" I said sarcastically to the old man, the old man shook his head at what I said.

“Iha, if only you had done this before, we wouldn't have a hard time getting everything. We can't just take their mansion and business. Because at that time you did not have the ability to manage the business, that's why it was automatically transferred to the Don's son. Since Cynthia was in another country, she transferred all her property to her son. And you can't claim that because Cynthia's wealth is different from her son's wealth. Apparently, what his son inherited was his mother's property. And it won't be recognized in the court that you still belong to," Attorney's long story that raised my eyebrows.

"What? What do you mean, Atty. Romero? That I won't get even a squint?" I asked the old man, raising my voice a bit because I was feeling angry.

"That's not my point, what I mean is, the process of claiming wealth will not be easy... especially since it was 15 years ago."

“I don't agree! I will take all of them Attorney! And no one can stop me!” I said angrily to the Attorney.

She closed his mouth and could not speak. And because I lost my self control I raised my voice. That's why I was also a little shocked by what I said here. I shook my head at the old attorney.

Before speaking again, "Do what you can as an attorney, and I will also do what I can to recover everything from them," I said firmly, before deciding to stand up and leave it in the lobby.

I seat down on the long sofa. The annoyance still won't disappear from my face, because I know that it will be difficult to take everything back.

"I still thought that I would surprise Cynthia when I came back... no, but I will be the one who will be surprised because I can't get everything back that quickly. But I don't agree. I can't allow them to transfer what is right for me, you took life Cynthia! So I will take back my life!” I stood up and went to the fridge. But I shook my head because the fridge was empty.

“Damn! I didn't say I didn't have groceries here!” I closed it angrily ref before deciding to take my wallet. When I got off the building, I didn't remember to call my driver. And if I call that it might take a long time to arrive. So I just decided to call a taxi. Many taxis passed by there, so I didn't have any more trouble.

"Ma'am, where are we?" asked the driver,

"Mall," I replied sparingly, The man scratched at my response,

"Ma'am, there are many malls here, where exactly?" I was irritated by what the driver said, so I responded with a warning.

"My God! Probably at the nearest mall, why would we go further?” I will work here together,

The driver could not answer, he immediately started the car. I just looked out the closed window. I can see the huge buildings. I remember when I was a child, I was still very young when I traveled here to Manila. I will never forget how I looked when I was young, full of revenge and heartache.

A rich woman brought me to Europe, I thought she was going to study me abroad so she brought me there. No, because they made me a slave and soon they planned to sell me to another race. I ran away to save myself, lived on the streets like any other kid. At that time, I felt like it was the end of me and I only had time to die. But no, because a woman took pity on me. He adopted me and educated me, until I was young.

The woman who picked me up was also not kind, in fact I helped her sell vegetables while I was studying at school. Until I finish high school. But after that, he didn't study me anymore, he said that the tuition fee at the college school was too much to pay. So I stopped even against my will. But with the help of my friends, I was able to return to school. Until I met Harvey. He and his friends became my support while I was studying in college. I stopped thinking when the driver spoke to me.

"Ma'am, here we are." I immediately glanced out the other window and saw the big mall.

I immediately took money from my wallet and handed it to the driver. After that I went down, I will only buy one thing here. Whiskey and my favorite juices. I don't overeat, my passion is to maintain my body figure. That's one of the assets I need to get everything I want. I walked into the mall, right when the mall opened I was already getting the attention of people walking there. Their eyes followed my walk, especially when I was wearing a fitted dress that enhanced my beauty even more. I entered the liquor store itself. Even then, the salesmen were no longer able to assist me.

"Ma'am, what about you?" the salesman asked with a smile, Instead of answering.

I looked at the displayed wines on their shelf. I looked at the imported wines one by one. I've only tasted a few in Europe, so I'm excited to try the other drinks as well.

“Is this new outside?” I asked the salesman that I was referring to the wine that I couldn't understand what was written.

"Yes ma'am, there is a discount if you buy three," he said as he took the wine and showed it to me,

"Really? What if I don't like the taste? I won't be able to use it... the discount is a waste."

The salesman scratched his head, the other salesman there just followed me,

"Ma'am, I'll give you a discount even if you only buy one," replied a man behind me, I smiled at that point.

So I just nodded. Later, my purchase was brought to the counter, but a man caught my attention. He was wearing a blue long sleeve and black pants. I immediately guessed that this was a business man, because of the elegance of his appearance, he also looked like the owner of a large company. Smooth skin, handsome face, and good body.

"I'll take this Rum," he said in to a salesman,

"Okay sir," the salesman quickly responded. I raised my eyebrows a bit because it didn't seem like he was attracted to me like other men who see me.

So, I came here and pretended to be looking at another wine. Until I remembered the Wiskey that I was really I like. That's why I placed another order.

"Ahm... Whiskey too, please go with what I bought," I said softly.

"Okay ma'am," the man responded quickly, the man next to me looked at me for a moment. And my heart seemed to celebrate when I felt that I also got his attention.

I am Savanna, no man will deny my beauty. I'm still proud of myself.

"Miss," it called me, that's why I playfully turned around.

"Yes?"

"Don't drink too many different wines. That's bad for health," he said, frowning at me.

What does he care? I'm not stupid enough to drink two wines at the same time.

"Excu—" I stopped talking when the salesman came and gave the antipathetic man the wine he bought. It turned quickly and did not look back.

"That man's face is thick!" I exclaim irritated,

"Ma'am, are you all right?" asked the salesman,

"Yes, I'm okay. That man is just rude!” I said irritably,

"Sir Rick is really like that, he's already a regular customer here!" it said smiling,

Rick? His name is Rick? Too bad he's handsome. I'm still impressed with him, that's a scumbag!
