Sage's suite also had a top-quality audio system. She squinted as soon as she heard the voice, "Was that Sienna's voice?"Sienna's dulcet voice was highly recognizable.Luther replied calmly, "Keep watching."Trying to regain her composure, Sienna walked toward Jace in a hurry and whispered, "Jace, I'm a bit terrified. Is someone trying to pull a joke on us?""Don't worry," said Jace. "I'm here."Sienna nodded weakly. Taking the microphone from the emcee, she announced, "Today is the best day of my life. There is nothing better in life than the person you love reciprocating your love, and we are each other's first loves. We have had several passers-by in our lives, but we still returned to each other. Some things are just meant to be."Crushing the chips in her hand, Sage was annoyed that Sienna still thought of her as a mere passer-by in Jace's life."So Jace, I've prepared a surprise for you," continued Sienna.Flashing a playful wink at Jace, Sienna went on, "Please have a l
"Turn it off! Turn it off right now!"Screaming at the top of her lungs, Sienna had finally lost her calm. Her bridesmaids stood by, playing the role of a bystander. They were secretly happy that Sienna had tripped over her own arrogance.The projector was turned off. The emcee was filled with panic by the number of unexpected interruptions. "Jace, those photos are clearly edited. It's not me in the photos! Someone must be jealous that I'm marrying you, and they must have set me up!"Sienna looked terrified as she clutched Jace's arm. The crown sat askew on her head, and several strands of hair floated loosely around her. Her face, caked in heavy makeup, had turned as white as a sheet of paper. Jace could tell if the photos had been edited. Even though he had a thousand questions, and his head was filled with doubt, he was still concerned over Sienna's health. "There now, you're already weak, and you should not let this worry you. Let's talk about this after the ceremony."As
The crowd was further baffled by the "arrival" of the pile of paper that was flung in their faces. Some of them picked up the paper to find a list of Sienna's offenses.The list included promiscuity, liar, being extravagant, vanity, hypocrisy, pretentious, deceiving, a homewrecker. As a woman herself, she even belittled other women. "Heh, and the Zeldas pride themselves in being honorable! Aren't they terrible?"Sienna's parents could not take the humiliation anymore. As they could no longer care about how others perceived them, they rushed to the stage and began interrogating their daughter. "Sienna, what is all this? What is going on?"Looking at the list of offenses, Sienna shook in anger. Pointing at the crowd of guests, she screamed, "Who is it? Who set me up on this? Show yourself right now, and we will deal with this head-on!""You want to talk about this in front of everyone? Are you sure you have the guts to do it?"Zachary, who had finally freed himself from the bodyg
After signing the divorce paper, Sage had disappeared without a trace from Nadeem City. No one expected her to show herself again in this manner.It was too… cool. Yoel was stunned by Sage. He smiled, and he could not take his eyes off her. How could a man deny a charismatic lady?Even Jace, who had always had a poker face even when faced with the collapse of the world, found his mask slipping. Jace was surprised to find that Sage knew how to fly a helicopter. Under the heated stare of the crowd, Sage walked straight toward Freya and crouched down by her side. Sage who gave off an imposing vibe suddenly softened."Mom, I was worried sick about you. Please don't do this again."Freya who was known for being stubborn and domineering had a sudden shift in attitude the moment she saw Sage. Holding Sage's hands in hers, she exclaimed in surprise, "Dearest, I was worried about you, too! How do you know how to fly such a dangerous thing?""A rooftop is an unsafe place for you to be
Seeing Sage about to leave with Freya, Sienna panicked. She pointed at Sage and yelled, "I know now! It must be you! You are the one who set me up!""Sienna Zelda," said Jace seriously. "Don't accuse someone based on groundless speculations."Hearing Jace address her in a formal manner and seeing him implicitly take Sage's side terrified Sienna. She felt like she was about to lose him for good.Sienna did not think that she had accused Sage without any evidence. It was obvious to her that she had been the target of some vicious plot, and it was the reason why her wedding had turned out the way it did. It had not been long since her return to Nadeem City, and she was unable to recall if she had made any enemies. The only feud she had was with Sage Luz. Plus, the garish manner in which Sage had arrived only furthered her suspicions that Sage was here to steal Jace. "Sage Luz, one should be responsible for their own doings. Do you not have the guts to admit them?" Pointing at Sag
A bolt of lightning split the dark blue sky. Almost as if the lightning had struck her, the crown resting atop her head fell to the ground.It started raining. The crowd had slowly dispersed and Sienna looked as if she had her soul sucked out of her body. Staring at Jace who was walking away from her without even a backward glance, Sienna felt despair.The man who had always shielded her from all danger had finally left her.Sienna had finally regretted her decision to break up with Jace. She had finally realized the price she had to pay for all her bad and impulsive decisions throughout the three years that she had spent abroad. …The chaotic wedding ceremony had finally come to an end in the heavy rain.Even though the guests did not get to witness the happy and perfect wedding that they had come to see, they managed to watch a good show and felt that the entire thing had been worth their time. The Yuriel family was not badly affected as they had desperately wished for the w
Since Sage had come to save Freya, she decided to help her till the end. Sage decided to send Freya home personally. Sitting in the car that belonged to the "newlyweds", Sage found the situation ludicrous.Sage mocked herself for going to such lengths as Jace's ex-wife.It was an extended Lincome with enough car seats to accommodate both Faye and Zachary. As soon as Zachary boarded the car, he started firing questions at Sage."Sage, where have you been? We've been looking for you everywhere, and Jace had gone through every CCTV recording that he could get his hands on. But he just couldn't find you.""Sage, did you really fly the helicopter by yourself? I didn't know you know how to fly one! When did you get the license? Why didn't you tell us? Can we have a ride, too?"Sage smiled gently and replied, "Of course, but it's raining today, and I don't think we should fly it. Next time perhaps?""Yay! You're the best, Sage!"Jace took a glance at Zachary who was acting all excite
The moment Sage mentioned Sawyer Norah's name, everyone in the family was stunned.One of Jace's uncles jolted to his feet and said, "What did you say? Sawyer Norah is your dad?"Jace had his brows furrowed tightly together.Although it had been almost three years since the passing of Sawyer Norah, his reputation still preceded him. His brilliant and unprecedented legacy survived his passing, staying alive till this very day. Sawyer was considered a genius in the business industry.Within only half a year, Sawyer had built up the Norah Group to be the most influential company in Salem City. A year after he founded Norah Jewel, the business was listed as one of the top companies in the jewel industry and had been in a fierce rivalry with Yuriel Jewel. Within the span of three years, Norah Jewel had triumphed over Yuriel Jewel and had secured an official partnership with DT, the diamond trading company. A year after that, Norah Jewel had been selected as the official supplier for t
