He had returned but he was with that woman instead?!"Miss Suki, is everything okay?"One of the businessmen noticed Suki stop in her tracks. So, he came up to her and checked if she was alright. Suki forced a smile and assured him that she was fine before catching up with the rest of the group. This time, however, she avoided looking at Seth.Among the group of men was a familiar face — Lionel, the CEO of Starship Entertainment and Suki was one of his artists.Since Lionel was on bad terms with Yuriel Group and Sage, he could only bring his business somewhere else. Hence, he had even brought along his most prized artist to the business gathering. With a wide grin plastered on his face, Lionel was buttering up some of the clients. Unfortunately, the moment he noticed Jace and Sage, his whole demeanor crumbled.Jace, on the other hand, was not paying attention to anyone else aside from Sage.Upon seeing that Sage was about to get onto Seth's back, Jace could not hold himself back
Not even trying to hold herself back, Sage threw up even more on Jace as if he was a dumpster.At that moment, Jace only had one thought, 'Why did I bring a drunkard with me?'Yet, he was the one who took her away and carried her into the car, who else could he blame?It was his decision so he had to put up with the consequences.However, this whole fiasco was too much for someone who was obsessed with cleanliness.Holding back the urge to kick her out of the car, Jace said to Zayne, "Find us a nearby hotel."Heeding his order, Zayne made a reservation at a five-star hotel and even booked them a room with a king-sized suite. Inwardly, Zayne was over the moon that things were about to get better for Jace and Sage.When he closed the door behind him — leaving Jace and Sage in the hotel suite — Zayne thought to himself, 'The day has finally come!'Compared to Zayne who was overjoyed, Jace, on the other hand, carried Sage into the bathroom, took off his dirty clothes, and quickly t
Sage knitted her brows into a frown. "And what have I done to you last night?"Jace furrowed his brow, and his expression looked as if his heart had been shattered into a million pieces. It was as though she was trying to deny what had happened last night.Sage was puzzled.Could it be that she really did something to him?What could she have done to a tall and strong-build man like him?Sage was doubting that Jace was making up things and bending the truth. She was trying to put the blame on her for something that he had done.After having a staring contest with each other for several seconds, and just when Sage was ready to launch her verbal attacks at Jace, Jace suddenly flipped the covers open, revealing his body to her. Sage was about to close her eyes, but she froze instead.Did she do these to him?Of course, Sage had seen his body before.When he was bedridden, Sage was his caretaker, and she was the one who helped clean his body. One might say that Sage was familiar w
As he had been asked, Jace stayed in bed. Unfazed by the gun that pointed at him, Jace simply lit a cigarette and then hissed coldly, "Get the fuck out if you wish to live."One was more rampant and arrogant than the other.Judging by the situation, Sage sensed that a fight was about to break out and started to get annoyed by the fact that it was happening again.She walked up to Kane and grabbed the gun in his hand, saying, "Kane, stop it."Kane almost exploded because of Jace's provocation. "He bullied you, didn't he? I'm going to teach him a lesson today!""He didn't."Sage took the gun away from Kane's hand forcefully as she spoke calmly, "We're adults, Kane. Sleeping with each other is no big deal. Plus, how is it considered as him bullying me? You're over-exaggerating."Narrowing his eyes, Kane asked, "He didn't force himself on you, did he?"Recalling the scars and bruises all over Jace's body, Sage started to have migraine again and she said helplessly, "No, I was the o
Sage and Jace walked out of the room both neatly dressed.There was a cafe on the first floor of the hotel, and Kane was waiting for them in the cafe. Kane crossed his leg over the other with his back leaned against the sofa. From afar, Kane looked like a gangster. His eyes narrowed at the sight of Sage and Jace when they arrived together.Some couples were match-made in heaven, but not for Sage and Jace. Kane once did think that they were perfect for each if it was not for Jace who had been cold and distant to Sage for the last three years.From Jace's looks to his family background, Kane thought that Jace was a rather good match for his precious sister."Kane," Sage walked over to him and greeted him.Acting like the older brother, Kane nodded and gestured for her to sit. Just when Jace was about to sit down too, Kane hissed coldly, "Did I say that you could sit?"Jace froze slightly but proceeded to sit down. Unfazed, he stared into Kane's eyes as if he was trying to taunt her
"Since the both of you have decided to start over, you should date each other properly and be good to each other. If you dare play with her feelings again, I swear that I'll tear you up into pieces."Kane's speech left Jace looking all serious and solemn, whereas Sage was left dumbfounded.What did he just say?Did Kane just randomly decide that she should date Jace?Who said that she was going to date him?“Kane, what in the world are you talking about…”Furrowing her brows, Sage was about to clarify herself, but Jace was a step ahead of her. Holding her hands tightly in his, Jace replied solemnly, "Don't worry, Kane. I'll treasure her and be good to her for the rest of forever."He said it for Kane and for Sage to hear as well.This was what Kane had wanted from Jace — his intentions and feelings for Sage.Since Jace had given his promise, Kane decided to trust him. However, if Jace ever broke his promise, Kane would make sure that he would pay for his words.Since Jace had
On the drive home, Jace held her hand tightly in hers, with no intention of letting go.No matter how hard Sage glared at him, he was not willing to let go of her hand.Jace had used a truckload of excuses to keep holding her hand.It was not until they finally arrived at Skye Hotel that Jace unwillingly let go of her hand. She realized that her hand was moist from the contact."See you later." Jace was still staring at her.Sage replied indifferently, "See you."Jace was still in the passenger seat, showing no signs of getting out of the car. Staring at her, he asked, "Aren't you forgetting something?"Furrowing her brows, Sage was puzzled. "What?"Jace pointed at his lips. "Don't normal couples kiss each other goodbye?"Who said they were dating?Narrowing her eyes, Sage seethed, "I don't mind giving you a lift to Hell."Jace got out of the car as he watched Sage's car disappear from his view. He felt lost and wistful.She sure was a ruthless and cold-hearted woman.The
"No."Shaking off his hand, she replied coldly, "I'll finally have some free time to myself once you're gone."In the past few weeks, Jace had been using every opportunity to pursue her to the point that her employees at work could tell that he was interested in her. Some of the employees at Rosa Garden even thought that he was her boyfriend. Sage had been trying hard to keep her frustration and rage in check.She did not realize that Jace could be this clingy. Could it be that he was this clingy with Sienna too and this was actually his true colors?Sage who had always thought that he knew Jace well suddenly did not think so anymore.At least in the past few weeks, he had completely disproved every single thing that she knew about him.Even though he knew that Sage might not miss him, hearing her say it out loud this bluntly broke his heart. He tightened his grip around her hand and furrowed his brows."I'll miss you." Jace smiled. Wanting to kiss Sage, he leaned into her.Sag
