Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

It was not a simple chat-up.

What they meant was obviously dirty.

One Italian man fixed his eyes on Savannah's breasts and licked his lips indecently. And she actually caught him doing that indecent act.

"That's enough. Get out before I call the police!" Savannah frowned.

The two men seemed to be shocked by her words, but just after a moment, they laughed wickedly.

"The police won't be concerned about such things. We just want to make friends..." They moved closer and closer to her.

Savannah backed away in alarm as she took out the mobile phone, ready to call the police.

Suddenly a figure appeared before her, and with two blows, he knocked the two Italian men down!

She was startled. The man who helped her out looked like a professional bodyguard. He was the figure she had seen at the gate of the school!

Had the man been watching her, protecting her?

The two Italian men scrambled up from the ground.

"Who are you?"

"Go away! Mind your own business!" They positioned themselves to attack as they cried threateningly.

"You got three seconds. Stay the hell away from this lady, or I'll teach you a lesson!" The bodyguard approached them, his lips compressing into a contemptuous line.

The two Italian men had just been knocked down, and they were more or less aware of the man's skill. But maybe it was because they were not prepared just now, and they thought two-on-one should be easier.

They exchanged a look and then made contact with the bodyguard. The bodyguard dodged, and once again, the two fell to the ground!

At the same time, several men in the same black suits appeared from all directions, surrounding the two Italian men.

"What should we do with them?"

"Take them to the police station first." The head of them waved his hand.

The two Italian men stared at those burly men, and then at Savannah, who was protected by them closely, wondering who the young schoolgirl was and why there were so many escorts.

Was she a princess? Why did she get a lot of men protecting her during their sudden attack?

Before they could figure it out, they had been tied up and dragged away.

Savannah looked at the first bodyguard and asked in wonder, "Who are you? Why are you following me? Who sent you?"

In fact, she had guessed who sent them, but not sure.

The man hesitated as if he had been warned not to say something.

"It's Mr. Sterling, right?" Savannah asked tentatively.

Since she had guessed, the man nodded and replied respectfully,

"Yes, Miss Schultz. Mr. Sterling told us to protect you at any time while you're in Italy."

Savannah gasped, not expecting the man to send so many people to protect her. She thought Dylan doesn't care about her, why all of a sudden, he sent people to protect her?

"Savannah --" Elisa drove the beetle back, got out of the car, and trotted over.

"Miss Schultz, I have to go." The man left quickly.

"Savannah, what's the matter? Who's that man?" Elisa ran up to Savannah just as the man disappeared into the night.

Savannah took a breath and told her about the drunk men.

"So, those bodyguards helped you out? Who are they?" Elisa wondered.

Savannah didn't want to say too much about her and Dylan, so she just replied simply, "I... don't know."

"How can that be? The man looked very respectful of you as if you're his master. Oh, I seemed to hear you talk about a name… Mr. Sterling?" Elisa looked at her good friend curiously.

Seeing that Savannah was silent, she continued, "Did you really have an affair in LA with somebody? Did he send those people to protect you? God, he must be very charming and very fond of you! Am I right?"

Savannah was speechless, a faint bitter smile playing on her lips.

He had been really fond of her, but now he didn't even remember her.

Maybe it was just for Kaiden's sake that he sent someone to protect her.

After all, she was the woman who had borne his child.

Elisa knew by her expression that her guess was probably right. She took a deep breath and patted Savannah on the shoulder.

"Tell me now, who is he?" Her big brown eyes glistened with delight and curiosity.

Girls were born to gossip.

Elisa only knew Savannah had a brother when she studied in Italy, and she had never seen another man at her side. Of course, she was curious about this, Mr. Sterling.

Savannah smiled helplessly, knowing that Elisa wouldn't stop questioning if she didn't tell her the story.

"Fine, let's talk about it later."

***

The first day back to Italy passed dramatically.

On the second day, Savannah noticed that the bodyguards still secretly watched around her to protect her.

Elisa heard about Savannah and Dylan and marveled for days.

It was unbelievable that her friend had had a romantic relationship with the most powerful man in LA and even had a son for him before she came to Italy three years ago.

What shocked her more than the relationship was Dylan's family background.

The Sterling family was powerful in the local business circle, and they were well connected with the political arena because Dylan's mother was from the Cavendish family, a famous ancient family in England.

She had only read such a love story in novels.

But their story really had too many twists. It seemed that there was something wrong with the relationship between Savannah and that man. She didn't even take the initiative to call back after so many days.

***

Savannah had been away for nearly a week.

The Sterling's house became much quieter than usual.

The servants noticed that their young master had been down in the mouth since his mother left, and Mr. Sterling was noticeably less talkative.

They wondered when Miss Schultz become so important for the whole family.

Without her, their young and old masters were all in low spirits.
