Chasing After My Wife Chapter 216
Advertisement
Savannah stayed with her and prepared her food while she took a shower. Hawk was also with them to stand guard even though there were several body guards outside.
She just finished her shower when a call came through Travis' phone. It was from the person who was guarding the secretary.
"Young madam, secretary Eva just woke up. The doctor said that she's fine." The man opened up to her immediately.
"Alright. I'll be there right away." Jillyanna stated before ending the call. She dried her hair with a towel and took her wallet. "Savy, can you come with me for a while?"
"Eat first before you go out. You missed your dinner time already." Savanna insisted so she sat on the chair and eat her food without any argument.
After eating, she stood up again to leave but Savannah told her to rest for another ten minutes. "Savy, are you making me angry?"
"Of course not. I won't dare to. However, I don't want you to get a stomachache." Savannah answered while throwing the disposable utensils inside the bin.
"How about we walk slowly towards secretary Eva's room? Very slow." she emphasized the slow word to convince him but Savannah didn't budge at all. "Fine. 10 minutes it is."
She waited for ten minutes while watching Travis. She was watching him if he would frown from pain or if he would move his fingers but there was none until ten minutes was over.
Hawk was left to watch over him as they went to visit the secretary. It was a good thing that she didn't die and that there wasn't any injury on her. However, she still looked pale.
"Hi Eva! How are you?" Savannah asked when she saw her the secretary.

"Were you hurt anywhere?" Jillyanna asked with concern knowing that this little woman was dragged into their matter.
"Not at all madam. I am glad you are doing fine. Where's sir Travis? It's rare of him to let you go alone here." Eva commented with a smile.
"They must have not spoken to you about it. Travis is currently in this hospital, too." Jillyanna sighed heavily and took a chair to sit beside her bed. "What were you calling him for? Before the accident, he noticed several missed calls from you. He was trying to reach you by phone but it won't go through."
"I am sorry I was too late. Mr. Guevarra asked someone to kill you in front of the Office of Marriage Affairs and to cripple sir Travis. I tried calling him to warn him but he wasn't picking up his phone. The next moment I know is that, I was already lying inside the storage room."
"I'm sorry for dragging you into this issue Eva. I am glad you are fine or Travis would feel guilty if something happens to you. In any case, take this opportunity to go on vacation. Savannah will be dealing with the company affairs with me." Jillyanna told her. Eva just nodded her head knowing that she caused trouble to her boss. "This will be a paid leave. Once everything is fine, Travis will contact you again to resume your job."
She said that Travis will contact her but she didn't even know when he will wake up or if he will really wake up.
Savannah reached out her hand and ruffled Eva's hair. "Don't worry too much. Everything will be fine. Your responsibility is to take care of your health and your family for now. Leave everything to me."

"Hn. I'll make sure to come back with full health and vigor." Eva promised to them.
Jillyanna didn't take so much of her time and left to go back to Travis. They all needed rest and she still have an oncoming battle the next day. She needed to prepare her mind and her strength.
The next day, Auntie Fei sent her another set of clothes for work and for hospital use when she gets back. There was also another batch of food for everyone to eat. Before leaving, Savannah took care of Eva's discharge procedure to make sure that she's doing fine.
"Are you ready?" Thomas asked her who came to pick her up.
"Hn. I am ready."
"Shall we go now?" Thomas asked her again since she wasn't showing any signs to leave the side of her husband.
Jillyanna leaned over and kissed his pale and parched lips. "Don't leave me. I'll be back as soon as possible." she whispered to him even though she wasn't sure if he could hear her or not.
Cielo and Sky arrived to keep watch of Travis while they're gone. Hawk was also staying over. Jenny couldn't come because of her studies.
With Savannah as her acting secretary she was determined to clean up his empire before he wakes up. Many people knew of her as an online singer but few people knew that she's a business woman, a smart one at that. Though she was lazy and let Cielo manage their business, all the ideas and strategies came from her.
"It's time to do the cleaning." Jillyanna commented while walking with confidence and air of aristocracy. She may not be born with golden spoon but she was raised by different people and learned different things - all to her advantage and knowledge.
Jillyanna didn't show her usual cheerful and lovely smile towards them. She walked in between Thomas and Savannah with cold and ruthless aura. Her eyes were the coldest eyes they've ever seen and they shivered from fear.
"Start the meeting in 10 minutes. I am introducing the new CEO who will take over this company." Thomas spoke to Diego's father who called them if they have arrived already.
"The new CEO?" Everyone had this question in mind but they didn't know who it would be.
The meeting room was fully packed and everyone was ready to see who their new CEO would be. Thomas came in with Jillyanna and Savannah. He sat on the side and Savannah sat at the back of the CEO's chair.
Under everyone's gaze, with her beautiful face and sexy body, Jillyanna sat down on the seat that held the highest status - their CEO. "Let's begin this meeting."

Campaign: A Project Starfarer Sidestory
This novel’s lore, story and characters are entirely fictitious. Certain long-standing countries, institutions, organizations, agencies, and public offices are mentioned, but their histories and the characters involved are wholly imaginary. "What will you do with your freedom?"Growing up in a meritocracy, infamous for being lawless, Jordan Astros had been repeatedly asked this question, since times unmemorable. In a society where one's accomplishments and skills were tallied and ranked in order to determine one's standard of living however, Jordan quickly grew to understand that 'freedom,' was a reward earned by accumulating Merit. And so, after his 17th birthday, Jordan departed his Clan's habitat in orbit of Europa to embark on his century-long journey to rise from E-Ranker to S-Rank. And spread his name throughout the Galilean Powers. *** Campaign is a sidestory within its NanoPunk parent series, Project Starfarer. (Yet to be published. Be on the lookout for it!) In which the first transhuman known to humanity, the Starfarer, invokes a plan to seed terrestrial life throughout the galaxy. Campaign takes place around the middle of that timeline and explores the life of a key figure in that universe, Jordan Astros. And explores one of four great nations thriving in the Solar System during that time. A Meritocracy that spans Jupiter and its 79 moons, The Galilean Powers. What you'll find in Campaign: Brutal melee combat in airless and pressurized low gravity environments. A technology based progression system influenced by merit and accomplishments; using tech that's theoretically possible to exist in the near-future. An exploratory perspective of the dozens of Galilean societies, or 'Powers,' from Jordans; and sometimes others', POV. What you wont find: Romance. Harems. An MC who receives shortcuts, handouts, learns things unnaturally fast or has OP plot armor. Jordan is not a special individual. Jordan is not OP and he likely never will be. He's no different than any other citizen in the Galilean Powers and will certainly face as many defeats as he does wins. He'll suffer losses and grow as an individual, while the Powers evolves around him as well. This is semi-hard sci-fi/NanoPunk and takes place in a fictional version of our future solar system. Centered around technology that's plausible in the near-centuries to come. Everything abides by the laws of physics/thermodynamics (As best that I understand them, at least. I'm no scientist.) No artificial gravity, inertial dampeners, teleportation, FTL, or hand-wavy materials will be found in the Project Starfarer universe. Just advanced automation, nanotechnology, cybernetics and AI. Set in the backdrop of space. *I do not own the photo used for the cover*

STAR WARS: Knights of the Old Republic
Four thousand years before Anakin Skywalker was born, the Jedi thrived as the guardians of peace in the galaxy. The Republic, weakened by a costly war with the Mandalorians, faces now another great threat. A false Sith Empire created by two fallen Jedi, Revan and Malak, has risen from the ashes of that war. Now the Republic is on the brink of defeat to their once great hero, now turned Darth Revan. Hoping to protect the Republic at all costs, the Jedi dispatch an elite strike force to capture the Dark Lord. To the dismay of the Jedi, Revan is betrayed and killed by his apprentice Darth Malak, who proclaims himself the new Dark Lord of the Sith. Now with the entire galaxy at stake, the Jedi and the Republic must go to extreme lengths if they are to survive the seemingly endless forces the new Sith ruler commands. Only by the will of the Force, will they survive... This is a novelization of the popular video game by Bioware. One of my favorite stories within the Star Wars universe, I am putting my own little twists and style on this story in a way I could see potentially fitting into the new canon by Disney. I will be releasing new chapters periodically with the goal of trimming the story down a little bit as well. Enjoy, and of course constructive criticism always welcome, and if you like what you're reading, consider voting for my story.
