However, Sage knew that if she did that, her brothers would be worried sick. Sage could only carefully hide her weariness behind a smile and enjoyed dinner with her brothers.No matter how hard Sage tried, her brothers could still see the lack of interest in her eyes. They stayed silent and did not say anything about it.They knew that time healed all wounds, but Sage still required some time before she could return to her former confident self.The topic of the conversation slowly shifted toward Yale's situation."He's still comatose, but there are instances where he'd wiggle his fingers. At least he won't be a vegetable, but we still won't know when he'll wake up," explained Nigel.Luther unconsciously said, "Who would've thought such misfortune would befall him? Even if he were to wake up, there would still probably be a lot of physical hurdles for him to pass before he could return to his normal life, just like how Jace was three years—"His words were cut short by a sudden
'To Sage:'I miss you.'Truth be told, there isn’t a moment since you left me that I haven’t missed you.'Every sleepless night, I would hold the only thing you left with me like I’m holding on to dear life. I would look at every nook and cranny of it and hope to see something new.'As of now, it's the dawn of a new day here in Saleem City. It should still be nighttime in Birmingham. Is it cold? Is it raining?'The only thing I can do is check the weather in Birmingham, but what I really want to know is your situation.'How are you? Who am I kidding? You'd be fine. After all, without me by your side and with your loving brothers around you, there’s no way you wouldn’t be fine.'Do you know how many times I've tried to go to Birmingham? I was under explicit orders from my doctor not to get on a plane after my surgery. If I took a ship, would you throw me into the sea?'I know how bad your temper can get; you're like a cat. You seem like a harmless little thing, but if something
'I jumped with joy when I saw that!'I've never been so happy, sending you messages and waiting for you to reply to me.'Every time I read your message, it would be like God had decided to bless me. Do you know how hard it is for me to contain myself, to not spam you with messages, to not annoy you with the endless questions I have?'There are endless things I want to ask and tell you, but I can't bring myself to send you any messages. I can only try and put pen to paper and hope that my feelings will be able to be conveyed through letters. Perhaps this is why we always have the notion that old letters are romantic.'My last letter should have reached your residence by now. You probably haven't read it since you're in Birmingham. That's fine. There's no rush.'My only worry is that you'd have torn it to shreds before even opening it up.'I have zero confidence in you reading that letter.'I'll assume that the last letter didn't reach you and that you haven't read it. That way, I
Sage gripped the table as hard as she could. She felt her temper almost boiling over.Sage lived a full life. She experienced things that most people would not even have thought were possible. The only thing she had no experience in was that.Before that night, Sage had never spent the night with any other man.Sage still remembered how she woke up clueless and saw Jace next to her. His body was covered in scratches, and he told her that she had forced herself onto him.How could Sage have known that it was all a lie?The walls of the Medina were relatively thin, and Sage's screams rang through the whole residence.The brothers came rushing in one after the other. "What happened? We heard you calling Jace a piece of sh*t!""What did Jace do again? How could he anger you even in death?" asked Luther.Nigel kicked the back of Luther's foot when he mentioned Jace's name.Luther protested, "She mentioned him first…"Seth walked to the table, saw the letters splayed open, and inst
No matter how much the brothers hated Jace, they could not help but be impressed by his calligraphy."Who would've thought that Jace's handwriting would be so pretty? If you were to compare his handwriting with mine, it would make mine look like some kid's illegible handwriting", said Luther."Shhh," shushed Seth.'Sage, I still miss you.'I went to the Skye Hotel and met Captain Yale, the captain of flight Y1106.'I don't know why, but I felt an odd sense of familiarity when I first saw him. It was almost as if I'd met him before.'Just as I was about to go and thank him for saving you, I suddenly felt anxious. I didn't understand why I felt anxious then, but after having an illuminating conversation with Captain Yale, I finally understood the root of my anxiousness. I was nervous because he reminded me of the competition I had faced.'When Yoel announced that he was pursuing you, I paid him no heed because I knew that he wasn't your type, but after I met Captain Yale, I knew h

They flocked to her Twidder and welcomed her.As everything unfolded on the internet, in the real world, Sage had just finished her daily sparring with her coach and used her teeth to get her gloves off her hand.Luther sat beneath the ring and passed a bottle of water to his sister."Congratulations!
