SAVANNAH'S POV

"You bought the company without telling me?" I asked in disbelief.

I wasn't mad that I found out about it but I was amused for what he has done to me and my family. No wonder they still kept the house, still have maids around here and have money to buy some things. Mom and dad were even surprised for what they found out. I couldn't believe it myself after all these years, he still helped us.

"I'm sorry Savannah." Nick tells me.

"I didn't tell nearly anyone about it because I don't want all of you to feel like you're all indebted to me. Because you're not." Nick adds.

God I love him too much.

"How did you know I bought your company back from Damon?" He asked Cameron.

"I asked and did some investigations. $50 million is such a huge amount Nick. I don't know how to thank you. You deserve to be the one ruling it. You bought it." Cameron says.

"No. I'm not suited for the position. You're more knowledgeable about your company because it's yours and always has been. I just had to take it back from him. I know how badly you want to be president too. Savannah told me before." Nick responded and it made me smile.

Cameron shyly smiles. "I don't know how to thank you. Despite what my father has done to you in the past."

"Let's all forget about it." Nick snaps.

I smile.

"All that matters to me now is to put Damon to jail. He deserves to be in there for what he has done to Savannah. It's unforgivable. The sooner the better. I don't want him to slip away." Nick says firmly.

"We are embarrassed. We don't know how to say how sorry and how thankful we are at the same time for sticking behind us after all that has been happening." Mom blurted.

"Mrs. Canterbury, please it's really nothing." Nick tells her.

"And I may have something else to say that I almost forgot." I blurted.

All of them looked at me. They were all very silent and looked at me like I did something wrong.

"Nick is Melissa's real father." I said proudly.

They all went shock.

"I wasn't able to tell anyone about it because Damon threatened me. He said if I won't tell anyone and I will stop seeing Nick, he will help the company. Later did I know that he bought it and kicked Ron and dad out." I added.

Mom holds me, "That sick and obsessed man has done so many things against us and we will get back at him for everything he did to you."

I nod.

"Son." Dad calls out.

My heart can't contain it. He just called Nick son. And that's not a tiny issue to me. My strict father just called Nick Wilde son. Kill me now.

"I may have done terrible things to you in the past but now that you've shown me you're more than worthy enough to be with Savannah, I wouldn't stop you from marrying her. Not because you're already rich and powerful and you've made a name for yourself, doesn't mean I want you now because of it. I guess I was totally wrong about you. I misjudged you cos of your past but now I know it wasn't who you are. I am embarrassed for what I did and I am sorry." Dad says.

I haven't seen dad becoming like this. He's always the one who's on top of everyone and ruling everyone around him. He's always strict and serious and he never says the words I am sorry for many times to one person. Only now. Only to Nick. I guess he realizes how big mess he has caused in my life and to Nick's. I smile as my tears rolled down my cheeks, my mom was crying as well and I know we were crying for the same reason. Goodness what a tearful way to start a weekend.

"Why is everyone crying?"

All of us moved our heads to Melissa who just entered the living room again. She looks at us so innocently and all of us began to laugh.

"I thought you were playing with your aunt Ingrid?" I asked, wiping my tears.

"I'm tired. And really hungry. Can we all eat now? Pretty please?" She begs and I just find Melissa too cute when her voice begins to become sweet.

All of us started laughing again.

We began to march our way to the dining table and started having dinner together. It was peaceful and fun and it wasn't like before when they tried to make Nick feel out of place. They didn't call him ex-convict nor looked at him like he was an ex-prisoner.

Mom and dad were talking about how Nick's life was while I was away from him and Cameron would tease him too. It was a marvelous sight to me because everything I wished for was happening. Nick was getting along with my parents, Cameron was starting to become friendly to him too and I have our little angel Lissa who's putting smiles on everyone's faces.

Later that night when some of the people in this household were already inside their room, I was inside the guest room all alone. Melissa was sleeping with mom and dad for tonight since they begged me to and I decided to transfer to the guest room.

I was done taking my hot shower while Nick was out with Cameron playing billiards downstairs. They're probably drinking right now and would be talking about business stuff. I stepped out of the bathroom with the towel wrapped around me and grabbed another towel for my hair. I jumped when I saw Nick on top of the bed, taking off his shirt sexily.

He smiles. "You look so hot right now."

"You too." I say. "And I didn't hear you coming in."

"You were busy singing your heart out in the shower." He chuckles.

"Well excuse me. I am a good singer."

He pulled both of his hands up as if he's accepting defeat. "I wasn't saying you weren't."

I faced the whole body mirror and began to rub my hair against the towel.

"Thought you were playing billiards with Cameron tonight?" I asked.

"We were about to but someone called him up and he needed to finish off something related to work. So he's in his room with his laptop."

I nod. "He is busy now, huh."

I faced Nick and smiled at him while he crossed his leg over the other and was sitting on top of the bed while looking right at me with that cheeky grin. He bites his lower lip suddenly and looks at me hungrily.

"You just had dinner." I snapped.

His brows furrowing.

"Don't look at me like I'm some kind of food." I add.

He licks his lip with a smile. "You're my favorite kind of taste."
