Jace's plan was almost the same as Sage's.From what they knew, Sienna was seemingly 'sold' to Peter by Lucas in order to save Luna.However, these were all part of Jekyll's game.Lucas, Sienna, and Peter were all Jekyll's pawns.Lucas and Sienna were easily manipulated, but Peter, on the other hand, was not just any other pawn. He agreed to Jekyll's plan only because he had his own plan to execute.From what they had learned about Peter, he was a through and through opportunist. He did everything with benefits in mind. He was a scheming, ambitious man.From an outside perspective, it might seem like the reason he had a successful career was because of his wives, but his fathers-in-law always seemed to be more successful than his previous ones.Those wealthy and successful old men all wanted Peter as their son-in-law. They did not care about his background or his marital history because of his capabilities.With that, Jace and Sage knew not to do anything reckless before they t
He picked up the phone and heard Sienna saying, "Jace, it's me, Sienna!"Jace hung up the phone in an instant.The phone rang again and again. Jace knew that she would just keep calling, so he eventually caved and picked it up with a cold gaze."Jace, please don't hang up the phone! Someone's trying to kill me. Please help me!"Sienna was begging for help from the other side of the phone. Her voice was shaky as she told him what had happened.Jace heard the name 'Shanie Hill' and knew instantly that she was Peter's current wife.Jace could not be bothered and said calmly to Sienna, "This is your own doing. It has nothing to do with me. My only suggestion is to call the police."He then hung up the phone and blocked the number.Sienna attempted to call again but failed.She was on the verge of crying.She tried calling Peter, but he refused to pick up the phone. She had thought of calling the police as well, but she was afraid. With Shanice's title, there was no use in calling
By the time Tim returned back to Meadow Castle, it was already evening."Tim…" Sage went running downstairs to welcome him. Other than feeling a coldness from her brother's body, she also smelled some bloody odor. She looked at Tim's eyes and saw his blue pupils glowing with coldness, as cold as the ice cone formed on the winter day, so sharp that it could pierce into a person's heart. The corners of his eyes were full of blood veins that stained them red.At that time, her throat felt stuck, and all those questions she wanted to ask vanished into thin air. She could only embrace him into her arms silently. No matter the outcome, the interrogating process with Madam Meyer was torturing Tim like a knife slicing off the old wound on his body until the bone was seen."I'm fine." With a hoarse voice, Tim let go of his sister and said, "Let's go up."Sage nodded lightly. Tim went to take a shower in the bathroom after entering his room. Sage went to the kitchen to make a cup of hot choc
That bullet took two lives in one shoot as neither of them survived.For the past few years after Cece passed away, Tim exterminated a family in the Yathein at all costs to avenge Cece, and no one else dared to mention that family anymore. However, they did not expect Shawn to take part in the murder."Tim, we can't just stand and do anything anymore." Sage said, "Shawn is a crazy man. We cannot expect or judge his action with our theory. He is not like us. Even if we don't do anything, he won't let us go anyway, so why don't we make the first move?"Tim was calm as the water in the lake. In fact, he had already thought about what Sage said. He was never a person to sit and wait. All these years, he had never stopped tracking Shawn. His men had already fought with Shawn countless times, and each time both parties suffered heavy casualties and none of them was the winner.It was never his intention to let his younger brothers and sister find out about it. As the eldest brother, he d
Sage left the room so that Tim could get some rest. When she was back in her room, she received a few photos and a video from Laura.The photos were of Sienna with a swollen face. Her elegant face was so swollen that it was hard to tell what she originally looked like. She was kneeling on the ground with her head looking down and her body swaying around.'What did she do to receive such retribution?' Sage thought. She played the video, and she saw Sienna get slapped in the face and the sound was as loud as fireworks.Although it was not a good time to gloat, Sage did not think so when it came to Sienna. She felt very happy instead.Later, Laura made a call. "How was it? Are you happy to see Sienna, the homewrecker, being slapped?""Thrilled." Sage smiled as she opened the door. She asked, "Who was the good samaritan who did this good deed?"Laura laughed out loud cheerfully and answered, "It is a good deed but not by a good samaritan."Then she told Sage that a childhood friend
Sage looked up into the sky from the window, feeling very lost. In fact, she did not know the answer to that question either.Relationships were never easy. The outsider could always see it very clearly and tackle the problem spot on, but it was the opposite when you were the one facing the problem. Most of the time, your head would always be a mess.At night, Jace had a hard time sleeping. To be more accurate, he had not slept soundly for a long time. He had been restless lately.Holding on to Sage's hairpin, he slowly rubbed along with the texture of it and vaguely felt like he was drifting to another dimension. In the dream, he saw two bodies leaning on each other at the staircase formed by clouds."Sage," he called out lightly. As Sage turned around to see him, he walked closer to her and thought Sage was leaning on him. Just then, the man beside Sage suddenly turned around, and that was when Jace got stunned and stopped walking.It was not him. The face belonged to another ma
"Knock, knock."Jace stood in front of the door at unit 88, raised his hand, and knocked on the door.The door opened, and Yale was standing there looking at Jace. He lifted his brows and slowly called out Jace's name, "Mister Yuriel." He did not ask the reason for Jace's visit and moved his body while raising his hand. "Please come in."Jace nodded and walked into the unit. Room 88 at Skye Hotel was prepared for Luther, Sage, and the other brothers. Of them all, Luther and Sage stayed here more frequently. When the other brothers were in Salem City, they mostly stayed at Rosa Garden and sometimes here in Skye Hotel.The huge unit had three bedrooms and one living room. The master bedroom was being occupied by Sage and it was full of her stuff. The other two bedrooms were clean and tidy. Yale slept in the bedroom nearer to the balcony.After having Jace in, Yale asked lightly, "What do you want to drink?""Anything," Jace answered."Beer?" Yale asked."Okay," replied Jace.As
Jace was never a person who liked to reminisce or dwell on the past. However, he hoped he could return the past once again to three and a half years ago, to start all over with Sage again.If he could do it once more, he would not be such a jerk. He could treat her wholeheartedly with love and tenderness, just like how Sage treated him with all of her love three years ago.After divorcing Sage, he had been trying hard to get her back for the past six months. They had told him that he would only know how it felt when he experienced it himself. Just like him switching positions with Sage, he understood how she felt."When you love someone, it is supposed to be the happiest thing on earth. But the premise of happiness depends on the person you love, loves you back." Jace's eyes sank. "Otherwise, it is just a one-way bitter relationship. When the person you love doesn't feel the same way as you, it becomes the most difficult and painful feeling in the world."A relationship was the onl
