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
"Tim!" Sage barged into Tim's room like a tornado. She did not even bother to knock.Despite being awake, Tim got startled by Sage's action and furrowed. "Do you know it's late at night? What was the fuss about?"Sage could not bother being nagged by her brother. She rushed over and shoved the phone right to Tim's face."Look, Iceman sent me an email!"Tim switched on the bedside lamp and looked at a row of sentences on the phone with a frown. He squinted his blue eyes. They were short sentences, but they contained a huge amount of information. He lifted his head and made eye contact with Sage. "Yale sent you this?""Yes, I just received it!" Sage ran over to Tim's room. It was just a short distance, but she was already sweating because she was running at the speed of the wind, and she was still breathing heavily. Her eyes were sparkling because she saw hope."If it was really from him, then the credibility is quite high," Tim said as there was a hint of brightness in his eyes to
Sage was speechless.Tim answered, "No.""Oh, okay then." Seth was relieved to hear it. He quickly smiled as he saw Sage looking at him with angry eyes. He rubbed his head. "I'm scared that you think too outside of the box and try to trick me."Where was the trust between them? Normally, Sage would have argued with Seth, but she did not have the mood for it. All she could think about was going back to the country."If dad and mom are really coming back, then they would go back to the house first. I want to wait for them at home." Sage continued, "And I am worried about Jekyll. I must see that he gets on the prison van with my own eyes."Then she looked at Tim and said, "Tim, I want to go back with Seth."Seth looked at Tim too. It was not up to him to make the decision. Tim was the one to do it.After thinking for a while, Tim answered, "Alright. This time, I will go back with both of you."'Tim is going back!' Sage and Seth's eyes both sparkled up.When Senior Shelby knew tha
After Jace returned to his room, he felt something got stuck in his airway and it was neither going up nor down.Yale did not tell him the result of the interrogation. However, from his attitude, Jace could tell Yale managed to find out some information. He exhaled heavily and called Cole.At that time, Cole was still working overtime in the office. He was arranging and planning all the relevant matters with escorting Jekyll. His throat was on fire after talking for too long. He answered the call with a rough voice, "Hey, Jace."Jace was not in the mood for pleasantries, so he asked Cole directly, "Did Jekyll spill it?"Cole was smoking to refresh himself. "I guess so.""What do you mean you guess so?" Jace frowned.Cole pursed his lips and looked back. Then he went to the safe passage to continue talking on the phone while lowering his voice, "Yale went out by himself during the interrogation. We waited outside and could not hear a thing."Jace's brow almost tangled up as he fu
With that thought in his mind, he started to get nervous and panicked. He switched on the bedside lamp and took out the wooden hairpin from the wooden box. He touched the carved-out rose and Sage's name on the hairpin. It was then he felt more secure.It was definitely the right decision to exchange the hairpin Sage was wearing on her hair with the colorful enamel bowl. 'So worth it!'Since he could not see her in person, he felt closer to her after looking at the hairpin.In the past, he always felt that a man should not pay attention and prioritize his life with love. He disregarded those who actually cried and wanted to die because of a woman. However, the person who had loved him dearest and cared for him the most, the strong and gentle woman, had become like the sun. He could see her, but he could not reach out to her. Her existence became so far from him.Day after day, Sage suddenly became an obsession of his. He was like Icarus, chasing after the sun, so far and yet so near
Yale glanced in Luther's direction because Luther was talking too much.Luther ignored Yale's meaningful gaze. He only paid attention to Jace and saw his eyes narrowed. "Oh, so you didn't know."Luther went over and pressed the button for the elevator.Jace rushed forward. "Is Sage really coming back today?""Yeah. I'm on my way to pick her up."Luther glanced at his watch. "Oh, we've got to hurry. She'll be there in forty minutes. Sage wants to see Jekyll get on the plane."When the door to the elevator opened, Yale and Jace got in at the same time and almost bumped their shoulders. They looked at each other and apologized in a low voice.Luther glanced up at them, feeling strange. After getting out of the elevator, Yale got into Luther's car. Meanwhile, Jace got into his car. Zayne had brought a lot of people with him just in case. Soon, a convoy of cars headed for the airport.Sage was still flying in the sky. She would usually sleep on the flight, but not today. She c
