Leaning against the wall outside the toilet, Sage wished she was nowhere near Yeva, who stank. Realizing that she was lying on the toilet bowl, Yeva frowned in disgust. Just when she tried to get up onto her feet, her legs gave way."Ah!" Yeva groaned in pain. Looking down, she noticed the bruises on her knees that were badly swollen.The pain knocked Yeva back to her senses.Scenes from last night flashed across her mind.She remembered how she had shouted at Sage. She remembered how Sage had leaned lazily on the door, looking at her. She remembered how Miss Zamora had the guards drag her to the toilet and proceeded to keep her there. She also remembered throwing up, the guards taking care of her, and proceeding to keep her in the toilet despite her begging and pleas. 'My God!' thought Yeva to herself.Yeva felt as if her world had come crashing down on her. ‘So, I really spent an entire night kneeling by the toilet bowl?'She looked at Sage with resentment and fear in

The book of house rules had stated clearly how Yeva should be punished."You're crazy!"Yeva could not imagine how painful it would be to be hit by the ferule. "My parents had never once hit me, so what makes you think that you can hit me? Who do you think you are?!"Unfazed, Sage replied, "I've made myself clear that if you wish to stay in my house, you will obey my rules. The Norah family has always instilled the value of respect for one's elders in their members. Have you forgotten that your dad and Uncle Zane were both disciplined by my dad? They never dared to go up against my dad. So, what makes you think it will be any different for you?"Sage had the servant place the rulebook by Yeva's bedside table. "I suppose two days would be enough for you to memorize all of it, right?""I will test you after two days. If you get any of it wrong, then you will be hit once, and if you dare scold anyone, you will be slapped. You can try your luck if you do not fear any pain or being h

"Hey."Yoel got to his feet. Hesitating, Jace stood up, too.Sage was dressed casually today. She wore a light blue blouse, and a pair of white trousers, and on her feet were a pair of high heels. She had a light gray sweater coat simply worn behind and tied in front of the body.Though her outfit was simple, she looked fashionable and attractive.Jace squinted slightly. Sage had never failed to surprise him with something new every time she showed up, but she had never once acted like the woman he had known. The Sage that he knew had always dressed in warm-toned casual outfits, and she always wore her hair down or tied up in a bun. She had always presented herself as a good wife.Jace had never had a problem with that, but it had always felt like she had been pretending to be someone she was not just so she could please him. That made him feel uncomfortable.The person standing in front of him was who she really was.Even though he felt as if there was a distance between th

Sage could not care for Yoel's remarks. Looking at Hunter who was starting to get annoyed at Yoel, Sage said, "Get the documents ready for the horse racing course. Schedule a meeting with them, and we'll leave at a quarter past nine sharp.""Yes, ma'am." Leaving the office, Hunter closed the door behind him.As soon as the door was closed, Hunter cheered silently under his breath.Hunter was pleased by how Sage had treated Jace earlier as he had always resented Jace treating Sage badly the night before. He thought that Jace had finally got a taste of his own medicine.The vice CEO, Finn Janssen, was making his way to the CEO's office when he spotted Hunter's strange behavior. "What are you doing?""Mr. Finn." Hunter quickly regained his composure and greeted Finn. At Finn's request, Hunter reported everything that had happened from last night to this morning.Finn simply furrowed his brows.'Jace Yuriel again?''What exactly happened at Nadeem City during the three years Sage w

Yoel made a spin on the turning chair as he checked out Sage's office."Say, the decoration of your office doesn't reflect your age. It looks like some old dude's office."Looking at the pieces of Victorian furniture and antiques in the room, Yoel added, "One of my ex-girlfriends is an interior designer. I can put you in contact with her. Do make some changes to this office of yours.""There's no need for that."Going through the documents that Hunter handed to her, Sage replied without even looking up, "Firstly, don't judge my taste; secondly, if I'm an old dude, you must be a grandpa; and thirdly, you're already annoying enough, please don't introduce me to your ex-girlfriend. I really don't have the time to deal with you guys."Stroking his lips, Yoel looked at Hunter and asked, "Is it a habit of hers to list things out?" Seeing Sage did not say anything, Hunter replied instead, "No. Miss Sage only does this to you.""Really? This must mean that I'm quite special, right?"I

Looking as if she was about to cry, Yuri apologized to Sage again, "I am so, so sorry, Miss Sage. I don't mean to cause you any inconveniences."Sage replied lightly, "You're still young and inexperienced. You should take this as a lesson. It's not wrong to admire good-looking guys, but you should know that not all good-looking guys are nice people, alright?""Yes, ma'am." At the thought that she was about to lose her job, tears welled in her eyes and then rolled down her cheeks. Just when she was about to leave with Cora, Jace stopped her. "Just a second."Looking at Sage, Jace said, "I was the one who asked her to bring me here. She's just doing what she was asked. There's no need to put her in this position. If there's anything that you're not happy with, you can talk to me instead."Yoel tried to catch Jace's eye, hinting that he should stop talking. Sage stared silently at Jace and sneered."Mr. Yuriel, do you have an obsession with being a hero, so you wish to save all t

If they would stay as friends merely because they had failed to stay married, then what would they be if they had failed to stay as lovers? Sage's question stumped Yoel.Yoel thought about it hard. Even though he was quite experienced in dating, he had yet to experience marriage, hence he did not know much about it. Yoel tossed the question to Jace instead. "What do you think?"Looking at Sage, Jace noticed the pain that lay hidden behind her smiling mask. He remembered the day when he had asked for a divorce, Sage had been heartbroken. He also remembered her plea, "Can we not get a divorce?"At that point, Jace had not felt any remorse about bringing up the divorce. He had simply wanted to end a loveless marriage so that he could provide a loving home for the one he loved, and he would be setting Sage free at the same time. However, he had felt a tug on his heartstrings, when he had heard her question. It was as if someone was clenching his heart tightly."Why did you choo

Sage retorted by countering Jace's questions. She added, "Jace Yuriel, haven’t you had enough of humiliating me during the past three years?"The light in Jace's eyes dimmed.While Jace was in a daze, Sage quickly removed her wrist from his grip. Perhaps Jace had gripped her too tightly, she felt a burning pain around her wrist.Stretching her wrist, Sage looked especially cold and distant."Jace Yuriel, it doesn't matter why I chose to marry you in the first place. In the past three years, I've done nothing wrong to you. It was you who did me wrong. It was you who took our marriage for granted, who neglected your wife, who cheated on me, and you were the one who asked for a divorce. So, tell me, what have I done wrong? Am I to blame for letting you get your way?"As if she was mocking herself, Sage scoffed, "Back then, you had loved Sienna, not me. But now that you know her true colors, you decided to stop loving her, but this has nothing to do with me since we're separated. Don'

Sage heard of the saying, 'Marriage is for happiness, and so does divorce.'Based on Wikipedia, the definition of marriage was, 'Marriage is a long-term contractual relationship between a man and a woman based on equal consent.'Someone once said, 'Marriage is like a siege. Those outside wanted to break in, while people inside wanted to break out of the siege.'Sage and Jace had been through marriage once. In their first marriage, they were both losers. This time, they were both determined to win. They wanted to live their lives well. Even if their passion were to fade in the future, they would never leave each other. There were eight couples in line ahead of them. Sage and Jace were the ninth.Jace was eager for their turn. He counted carefully and then said with a smile, "It's nine again. It's a good day for this number."Jace suddenly came up with a good idea, "Let's have a daughter and call her Little Nine, okay?"'Did he just come up with that? How brave,' Sage thought and

The ninth of September arrived quickly.Sage was worried that Jace would not be able to get up on time, but Sage turned out to be the one who overslept. Sage had not slept all night because of a certain someone. She was so sleepy, while Jace was full of energy.Jace carried Sage to the bathroom to wash up and brush her teeth. "Open your mouth. Ah…"Sage squinted as she saw the terrible dark circles under her eyes. She turned around in anger and bumped Jace's head.Jace was caught off guard and felt dizzy from the impact. He rubbed his head. "Dear, aren't you hurting yourself by doing this…""Look at my dark circles. They're so ugly. How am I supposed to take pictures? Sage complained in anger.Jace squinted and rubbed his eyes. "Let me see. What's ugly?"He held Sage's face and observed it. "What's ugly? It's not ugly. My wife is the prettiest in the world!"Jace did not care about the toothpaste foam all over Sage's mouth and kissed her anyway.Primrose opened the door and

Jace made Sage stay up all night. Sage was so sleepy that her eyes were closing."Sleep. I'll wake you up later."Jace leaned down and kissed her forehead. As he closed his eyes, he remembered something and sat up sharply."By the way, we have to wear white shirts for tomorrow's photo session. We haven't prepared the shirt…"Jace rolled over and jumped off the bed right after saying that. Sage could not stop him in time, so she turned on the lamp helplessly. She leaned over the bed and waited for Jace in silence.Shortly after, Jace came back with two shirts. His eyes were shining. "Dear, you've prepared for us?""Yeah." Sage nodded weakly. "I've got them ready. I've had Zamora iron them for me."Jace could finally put his mind at ease. "What about the documents and identifications…"Sage pulled open the drawer of the bedside table and took out the papers and documents she had prepared ahead. "It's all here."Sage looked at Jace. "Everything is ready. You've checked three time

Sage spread out the notebook and looked at the blurred handwriting. She slowly read it out loud, "Step one, conquer her with sweet talking. Use sweeter and flirtatious words that would make people blush. Forget about modesty and shame in bed. It's best to whisper them into her ears…"Sage read the notes with a straight face, making Jace so embarrassed that he could hardly keep his feet on the ground.Jace strode forward with a stiff face and tried to snatch the notebook away. Sage was quick to dodge and continued reading with her head down."Step two, be aggressive at your offense. Focus and remember this, being rough yet gentle. You can use props such as blindfolds, ties, handcuffs, and so on…"Sage's face turned red while reading it. As the images popped into her mind, she had to stop reading.Jace was about to go crazy. He buried his face in his hands, unable to look up at Sage."Where did you learn all these?" Sage threw the notebook at Jace. "Rough yet gentle? Are you seriou

'Electric drill? Seriously?!' Jace thought and got a headache.Seeing that Sage was about to open her mouth again, he panicked and kissed her directly to shut her up.Dean was stunned by Jace's quick action. When he saw the couple kissing in the light, he suddenly raised his hand and hit his head.'I must be on the set… Who else would be so shameless as to kiss in public like that?' Dean thought.Sage finally calmed down after a long kiss. Jace breathed a sigh of relief and picked her up. He told Logan, "I'll leave the other guy to you!""Oh," Logan responded. Then he picked Dean up like a kid and walked out the door.Jace was tired and sweaty by the time he arrived at the hotel. Sage was already soundly asleep. Jace put her to bed and took off her shoes, socks, pants, and clothes. He stripped her clean.Sage drank a lot and was reeking of alcohol. Jace did not want to wake her up, so he did not carry her to the bathroom and bathe her. Instead, he wet the towel with hot water to

"Is that so?" A trace of interest flashed in Jace's eyes.Sage did not understand, so she asked, "What does a small forward do?"Jace explained, "The small forwards are typically the tallest and most athletic of all players. They are responsible for scoring points and defending. The main goal of strong shooters is to score and create opportunities for teammates. In other cases, they would operate as off-ball specialists. They would wait for teammates to pass the ball, catch the ball, and shoot to score."Seeing Sage's confused look, Jace added, "James and Durant, for example, are playing as small forwards.""Oh!" Sage immediately understood after hearing the name of these famous basketball stars. Her eyes lit up. "Isn't that amazing?"Jace saw the sparkle in her eyes and found her really adorable. He said, smiling, "It is. Basketball is all about teamwork. Small forward is probably the most versatile of the five main basketball positions and carries multiple functions in the game.

By the time they got to the arena, many people were in the audience.The staff guided Sage and the group to their designated seat in the family section.As soon as Dean sat down, someone next to him called out his name. Dean seemed unsurprised by this. He even smiled and waved at them. After that, he gestured for them to be polite and silent. It was not Dean's first time watching his younger brother's basketball game live. Many of his fans knew that Dean's younger brother was playing on the national team.

Jace muffled his laughs and relaxed in the night light. He said, "I have to work harder, or someone will call me old.""Hey." Sage knew he would get back at her.She rolled over and lay on top of Jace. She played with his chest and said in a muffled voice, "I have a new nickname for you."Jace responded, "Hm?"Sage looked up at him. "Vengeance."Jace was stunned and soon broke into a peal of laughter. Sage leaned on him and felt the rise and fall of his breathing. As his chest resonated with his laughter, Sage followed along with his laughter. Both of them were laughing like fools. Sage and Jace lay flat on the bed after laughing nonstop. They opened up and improved their intimacy so much. As a result, their whole body and mind were very relaxed tonight. "Hey..." The two spoke in unison, exchanged a glance, and smiled again.Sage said, "Go ahead."Jace looked at Sage and muttered, "I'll say something, but don't get mad at it.""Just say it." Sage looked at him.Jace though
