“She once gave Cece a sapphire. Cece was of course overjoyed. However, unbeknownst to her, the sapphire was taken off of a dead body. Another time, Cece nearly fell down from a horse. Later we were told that the horseshoe was tampered with, and Madam Meyer was one of the people who were there that day,” explained Tim.Tim had a cigarette clamped between his teeth and said, “You might not know that Cece once had a kid. However, for some reason, she had a miscarriage.”Sage’s eyes went wide; she did not know that something like this happened.“Miscarriage? Are you saying that it had to do with Madam Meyer?” asked Sage.Tim took a puff of his cigarette and said, “I don’t know. There was nothing conclusive from my investigation. However, after that incident, Cece knew to stay far away from Madam Meyer.”“Cece should've never trusted her!” exclaimed Sage.Sage did not understand why Madam Meyer would try and destroy her brother’s family.“Not long after Cece’s death, the owner of Mea
Sage took the airplane model for a polish. After making sure that the airplane looked perfect, she got someone to deliver it to Yale.She attached a card. [Repaying you your kindness. From Sage.]'I hope he'll like it.Since I won't be able to leave Meadow Castle, I'll have to find something fun to do.'Tim also stayed back as he was worried that his sister would be bored to death.Sage went to the kitchen as she wanted to cook something for her brother.Meadow Castle kitchen was similar to a professional restaurant’s kitchen. Everything was designed to produce top-notch French cuisine.However, Sage felt a little bit homesick and decided that she would instead make some dumplings.After putting on an apron and a chef's hat, Sage added some water to the flour and started kneading the dough.Sage also decided to whip up a chicken stew on the side.All the ingredients that Sage used were curated specifically according to her instructions and were made so that her brother woul
"How's it possible?!"Sage was unhappy hearing that. "For example, Mother always found a hassle to peel off their skin, and she'd just cook tomatoes with the skin. At least I'm willing to peel off the skin."Tim pressed his lips together softly and replied, "Mm, it tastes better with the skin on."Sage was rendered speechless. Rolling her eyes at Tim, she sulked, "What do I even expect from someone loyal to Mother? How can I even compare myself to her, right?"Sage pursed her lips, looking all upset. On the other hand, Tim chuckled at the sight of her pitiful look.He took another look at Sage who looked similar to their mother, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared. After a pause, he suddenly said, "Perhaps, Mother's still out there, somewhere alive."With a soft thump, the spoon in Sage's hand dropped onto the ground.***Someone was swimming swiftly and elegantly in the pool.She swam several laps.Sage spent nearly her entire afternoon in the water, organizing her
As Luna was pregnant, the medical parole that she requested was approved and she was released on bail.Lucas Spencer sent his man to pick her up.As soon as she returned to the Looming District, Luna first took a shower. She scrubbed herself from head to toe again and again until her skin turned red.Since she was young, she was treated like a princess and lived comfortably and luxuriously.Everything was the best from what she ate to what she used.She never shared a small and dirty space with so many other ladies.Just the thought of their loud snores, stinky feet, and sweaty clothes, Luna felt disgusted and nauseous.She was always been at the top and she even managed to beat Freya, the madame of the Yuriel family. Never did she think that she would be defeated by a brat.It was Sage who put her in that dark and miserable situation.She swore to herself that she would make Sage pay for what she did.Plus, since she was released on bail, Luna was determined to get her reven
Freya felt that Lucas humiliated her. Hence, she did not care to explain herself but retorted instead, "Then are you saying that she didn't cause any harm to my child? She did, didn't she? So why should I not do the same to her child?"Lucas responded with a slap across her face.That was the first time that Lucas laid his hands on her.Freya also slapped him.Not only did she slap him, but she also broke everything in the house that she could lay her hands on. Like someone who lost her mind, she started yelling and screaming at Lucas.She could not understand why the man who promised to love her and take care of her forced her to become a crazy woman instead.Was this love that everyone referred to?Lucas was kicked out of the house by her. Before he left, he said to her with a regretful look on his face. "The doctor said that Luna will never be able to get pregnant anymore. This is what I owe her."He said that he was indebted to Luna.What about her then? Was she to be blam
Sage was in the kitchen learning to bake pastries with a pastry chef. In the middle of it, she received a call from Luther.Since she was out of the country, Sage had Luther keep an eye on things going on back in the country.Luther started rambling, "That minister is quite alert, I have to say. We nearly got caught a few times for following him."Holding the phone between her ears and her shoulders, Sage placed a tray of cookie dough into the oven."You followed him on your own?"Luther responded, "Do you think I'm that free?"He then snorted, "If I have the time to follow him around, isn't it easier for him to just hack into the CCTV systems? I've hired a private investigator and guess what? Seems like someone else is looking into him too.""Someone else?"Sage adjusted the temperature, removed her hand gloves, frowned, and asked, "Who?"Luther said, "Guess.""Jace Yuriel?""..."Luther responded, "Sh*t! How do you know it's him?"Sage replied flatly, "If it was someone
"Lucas? Lucas!"Lucas was jolted back to his senses as Luna called out to him. In a daze, he took a glimpse at the person in his arms to find that it was not the person in his mind.It was not the woman that he promised to take care of."What's wrong?"Luna sat up and held Lucas' face in her hands. For some reason, she felt anxious to see Lucas being so absent-minded. Even when they were having sex earlier, he did not seem to be in it.She leaned into him and kissed his cheeks and his lips, asking, "Let's do it once more, hmm?"Lucas, on the other hand, avoided her kiss and pushed her away gently. Getting off the bed, he said, "I got to go now."Luna felt like someone poured cold water on her passion.She suddenly went cold.Seeing Lucas putting on his clothes one by one, Luna also got off the bed, wrapped her arms around Lucas’ wait from the back, and sobbed, "Lucas, are you getting tired of me?""It's not that. You're overthinking."Lucas tried to remove her hands, but Lun
Sage asked Luther to keep an eye on Sienna."I have the feeling that Jekyll won't let his pawn go so easily. He must be keeping her for something else. He'll be sent to Tovres in a few days and I can't let anything happen."Luther responded, "Mm, don't worry. We're all keeping an eye on him."Sage responded with an okay and just when she was about to end the call, Luther called out to her, "Sage?""Yeah?"Taking out the tray of freshly baked cookies from the oven, she asked, "Anything else?"Luther hesitated before going on. "I think that it's best if you and Jace go over this matter together. I'm afraid that Peter would catch on easily with both parties aiming at him, and it will be a loss for both sides, don't you think? Besides, Jace's father, Lucas is involved in this, isn't he? Talk to him, will you? Plus, after that incident, you haven't been in contact with him, have you?"Sage gnawed on her lips. She wanted to tell Luther that there was nothing to talk about with Jace.
