Jace looked at Sage through the lens of his camera. She was ravishing. Although he could only see her side face, she possessed a soul-capturing aura.Hunter and Leah could not stand sitting in the car anymore. They had planned to assist her. To their surprise, she would be able to handle everything on her own. Leah's heart could not stop thudding from the excitement as she witnessed Sage handle the situation. 'That's my Sage,' she thought as she watched. Leah wondered when would the day that she was more like Sage come. "Are you done?" asked Sage as she turned to look at Jace."I'm all done here." Jace nodded.He could not understand why he was being so obedient, and Sage did not seem surprised by his sudden appearance at all. As he stored his phone, Jace had mixed feelings. He had come with the intention of saving Sage. He had imagined her to be like a timid and weak character in a soap opera. Upon finding herself to be in danger, she should be hopelessly yelling, "Save me,
Seeing their endless fight, Sage solemnly said, "Enough!"She wanted to go home. The night grew dark and cold. She had no interest in watching them fight anymore.Both men stopped the instant they heard Sage's voice. They stood firm and assessed each other from head to toe. Jace studied the man who had appeared out of nowhere. The man looked pretentious with his braided hair and tanned skin. The collar of his black shirt was flipped up, his chin was raised, and he looked arrogant and wild.Kane Hudson stood opposite Jace and looked down at him with cold eyes. Jace looked prim and proper in his suit. 'Wow, this guy has some moves, as expected from someone who had served in the special forces,' thought Kane. "You're Jace Yuriel?" Kane asked as he thought, "This is the jerk who made our girl's life miserable for three whole years."Jace was surprised that Kane knew who he was. His eyes narrowed, "Who are you?"Kane scoffed and replied, "I'm your grandfather."He walked toward Sa
'How could Sage tell me that this is none of my business?'Jace felt as if Sage had plunged a sword through his chest, piercing his heart, shattering it into a million pieces. He suppressed his anger, pretended to be calm, and asked her, "Who is this guy? Your old flame?"'Why are there so many men in her life? She just had dinner with Luther and took an intimate picture, while now, she is hugging another man…'Sage felt a prick on her temples.'Is Jace questioning me? On what terms?'Sage found Jace to be unreasonably ridiculous. He had never failed to anger her the moment she felt herself softening toward him. This was his strongest suit. "Not everyone has an old flame whom they can't get over like you, Jace," Sage said. "My love life is not as interesting as yours.""You don't need to know who he is. He's someone I know, and you don't need to know anything more." She grabbed Kane by the waist and said, "Let's go."Kane tried hard to contain his laughter. He was impresse
Sage brought Kane back to Rosa Garden.Kane stood in the front yard of Rosa Garden, admiring the roses under the night sky. He squatted down, and the scent of roses hit him. It reminded him of how his mother had smelled. The last time he had visited Rosa Garden was for his mother's wake. Three years had passed since then.Sage patted his shoulder lightly in comfort. Their staff was surprised when they saw that Sage had brought a man home. They did not know who he was. Zamora got excited when she saw Kane and said, "Young Master.""Long time no see, Madam Zamora," Kane said as he opened his arms to hug her. Leah stood behind Sage, looking confused when she saw the scene unfold.To be frank, Leah felt as though she had met Kane before this, but she could not recall where she had met him. Sage had referred to him as her brother, like how she called Luther, which did not seem like they were in a romantic relationship.Sage was the only daughter of her Uncle Sawyer and Aunt Primr
'Second Miss?' Yeva had always been THE Miss Norah. Minnie calling her the second Miss Norah had greatly annoyed her.Yeva loved hanging around these Internet influencers. They had been the ones flattering her and calling her their big sister. They even wished they could kiss her feet. When Sage returned, those so-called sisters instantly turned against Yeva.She could not be bothered about it for now. If she got rid of Sage, she would be the one and only Miss Norah again. Those bootlickers would flock back to lick her boots in no time. Yeva asked Minnie what had happened. Minnie explained how Sage had destroyed her career, and how that was the least of the issues. "That b*tch! The fact that she poured wine on me is not a big thing, the bigger thing is that she somehow hooked up with Jace Yuriel of Yuriel Group."Jace is an idiot, too. He ended the partnership with Starship Media because of a b*tch, and Brody has been beaten up by his dad because of it. Furthermore, they used me a
Sage's voice was crisp, but to Yeva, it sounded like a thunderclap. She was terrified. Yeva knew that Sage was never one to eat her own words. "No! No! You cannot hit me—" Yeva gasped as she shook her head vigorously. She fell from the bed and crawled toward the door. She needed to leave, immediately. Two bodyguards blocked her way as soon as she opened the door. Without having to use much strength, they pushed her back into the room. Yeva fell onto the carpet.The two bodyguards said with long faces, "Miss Sage, do we need to tie her up?"Sage sat by the bed. She held up a ferule that she had given to Yeva, poking her knee. "Do you want me to tie you up, or are you going to kneel and accept your punishment?" Simply put, Yeva had to do what was told and quit her antics.Yeva clenched her teeth. She knew she couldn’t get away with it this round. Regardless of her dignity, Yeva crawled toward Sage, "Sage, please have mercy on me. I confused for awhile and wrong. I promise I won'
"Their wounds…?" Yeva said. Her voice trembled. "I caused them," Sage confirmed.Sage lightly shook her head, "I never thought they with strong and tall bodies would be so easy to tackle. It didn't take long for them to get down on their knees and beg for mercy. I didn't even have to do much. Cowards, am I right?"Yeva stared at Sage as she was unable to read her expression. As if there were ticks crawling all over her, she felt a chill down her spine and her hair all over her body was standing on end while her body shuddered as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.Once again, Yeva had totally underestimated Sage. Sage was a fierce opponent. It was not that Brody's men were weak. Never had Yeva thought that it would end in this manner. Rather than Sage begging for mercy, the hijackers were the ones begging for their lives. Yeva was out of her mind!"Brody…" Yeva bit her lip and looked up at Sage. "How are you planning to deal with him?"Sage looked at her and answered, "Cop
Skye Hotel's first floor was a combination of a disco and a bar. Accompanied by electronic dance music, there were always people on the dance floor, dancing mindlessly.Many guests were drinking by the bar, and some of them were flirting with the ladies. If they thought they could click after chatting a little, they would be seen leaving the bar to get a room upstairs. It was an adult's world in a free county. Only one person in the bar behaved differently from the mass of bodies.Jace was drinking whiskey glass after glass, alone. He reeked of alcohol, despite not appearing to be drunk as the air pressure around him became extremely low. The bartender checked on him from time to time, and he soon realized that Jace had almost finished the entire bottle of whisky. Many people came to this bar to get drunk, but most of them came had ladies accompany them. Jace was all alone.This bartender thought that Jace was the most perfect man he had ever seen. He held his whiskey well, an
