With the wedding over, Sage decided to head back to Salem City with her brothers.Tim was planning to go with them.He got into his private car."Tim, are you not planning to visit Yale at Nadeem City?"Sage was surprised."It's not like he's unable to move or there are not enough people taking care of him. It's good as long as he's alive."Tim added flatly, "I have other things to attend to."He did not elaborate and left, leaving his brothers and sisters puzzled.Neither of them dared to ask or say a word.On their ride back to Salem City, Luther was scrolling Sage's social media non-stop."Damn, Sage, you are really on a whole different level, aren't you? You already have over a thousand comments for the post of Nigel and Sean. They're all going nuts about how Sean and Nigel are good-looking and look good together…holy sh*t, there is even a fan that claimed to be their mother."Luther pressed into the comment and clicked his tongue. "Who is she to think that she can be th
Chitose majored in creative writing, and he was a night owl. He was usually the most active at night.Chitose was in the middle of sleeping when someone kept ringing his doorbell. His irritation flared."For God's sake, who is it?"With a head of bed hair, an irked Chitose answered the door to see two stunning ladies, Sage and Suki, standing right in front of him. Almost immediately, all his rage disappeared into thin air.He thought to himself that it was a blessing to be able to be woken up by such gorgeous ladies.The few of them gathered together to go over the script and made a rough plan to start filming.Lincoln looked at Sage and asked, "How much time can you give us?"Sage hesitated and replied, "More than two months.""It might work."With a cigarette in his mouth, Lincoln added, "We can shoot the fighting scenes right away as well. I don't think we need to send you for training with those skills of yours. We can start right away."Startled, Chitose glanced at Sage
In the first week of November, Sage officially joined the film crew for the movie 'The Double Life of Veronique'.As soon as the news got out, it received a lot of attention from the public and the media.The movie was directed by the well-known Lincoln John, and the script was written by the one and only Chitose. The Oscar-winning actress and actor, Suki West and Seth Hector, as well as Dean Sylas, would all be starring in the movie too.Director Lincoln and Chitose had been working with Suki and Seth on quite a few productions, and the public had already seen it coming.They, too, were not surprised to find Dean Sylas working on the movie as well.What surprised them the most was that Sage Norah would be starring in the movie too.Sage Norah was finally entering the entertainment industry.Not only was she starring in a documentary, but she was also starring in movies now. Even though Sage had got the looks to be an actress, the public was skeptical as to whether she would be
Even though she had a movie harness on, Seth and the rest were still feeling anxious.Sage's face was flushed red, and right when she felt her neck was about to break, Sage lifted her leg, landed a kick between the bodyguard's legs, reached for the knife that she hid in her boots, and aimed at the bodyguard's eyes and slashed it open. Her movements were smooth and swift, with no pauses or hesitation."Ah!"There was a loud gasp from the crowd of the crew that was supervising Sage's scenes. Even Dylan almost forgot how to breathe.Finally, the director shouted, "Cut! This is perfect!"There was a moment of silence on the set.Only Seth and Luther looked calm and unfazed.They had seen Sage this way before, and there was nothing worth fussing over.Even the stunt director almost forgot to put her down back to the ground. Sage, on the other hand, put away the swiss army knife. She then noticed the bodyguard that stood frozen in the same position."Hey dude, you okay? They got the
"How was it? Are you feeling tired?"Seth came over to check on Sage during the meal break.Earlier, Seth tried not to show his concern as many people were watching. However, he felt bad and worried when he saw Sage being thrown here and there on set.Seth was used to having bruises from shooting action movies, but because this was his job, a little cut and bruises meant nothing to him.However, it was different when it came to Sage."A little, but it's bearable."Sage drank water from the bottle Seth passed to her and chuckled. "It's been a while since I have moved my muscles. It's quite exhilarating."Lincoln was the type of director to discover the potential in his actor. Because of this, he encouraged his actors to go to their limits.Sage's action scene was getting harder, and there was a scene earlier in the evening where her opponent was a professional boxer. The scene was hair-gripping, and everyone on set was holding their breath.Even the professional boxer was amaze
Sawyer and Primrose nearly choked up by what he said.They, too, had wished the same for Sage.Sage was their daughter, their only child, and they were willing to do anything to make sure that Sage was the happiest and most loved person on earth.Of all the things that Primrose had taught her daughter, from protecting herself and working efficiently to making sharp and good decisions, Primrose left out one important thing: how not to lose oneself in a relationship.It was because Primrose had never learned that, either.With no one to love, a woman could be powerful when she was alone.No matter how strong-willed and determined a woman was, as soon as she loved someone, she would turn soft-hearted, impulsive, and reckless, and everything she did or said would be affected by her relationship.Primrose never stopped her daughter from loving or getting hurt in relationships because she knew that there were some things in life that she would never be able to teach Sage, and Sage wou
Time flew. It turned cold as winter approached.Sage finally completed filming The Double Life of Veronique. Without any delay, she quickly went back to the company to start on the second series of Forget Me Not.Under the utmost care from Melody and everyone else, Yale was on the road to recovery. He had started his rehab and attempted to walk.Sage was so busy that she did not have the time to visit him. "That's about it. Compile what I said and inform every department."Henry and Zachary closed their laptops and responded before leaving. It was another all-nighter for Sage. She was very sleepy and mentally tired. Looking at the pile of documents, she did not dare to sleep even though that was what she desired the most.She took a sip of coffee to pump herself up; then she decided to tie up her hair. After gathering her hair into a bun, she looked for something to hold it in place. As she opened her drawer, she saw that wooden hairpin. She paused while looking at it. That wooden
"What's wrong with girls nowadays? Their taste is so weird. Why would they like foreigners?" Yoel asked."Let me correct you." Sage glanced at Yoel and said, "Yale only has one-quarter Tovres blood in him. The rest of him is the same as you and me."Sage found out later that Yale's father was a mixed-blood, but his mother was born in Salem. No wonder Yale looked nothing like a foreigner except for his brown-colored pupils. From a fair distance, he looked like a native from Salem with a slight Western style.After being reprimanded, Yoel started to look for trouble. "Anyway, girls nowadays are too fickle. They just keep changing a new lover every day. Maybe they like this person today and another new person tomorrow.""Isn't it normal?" Sage tilted her head to look at Yoel disgustingly. "Are you sure you are eligible to be commenting on this?"As Yoel remembered all of his previous flings, he pouted and was out of words."I really don't want to comment on anything, but you should
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
In the words of the commentators, the basketball game was very smooth. The national team played well! At last, the national team defeated the opponent team by a score of 106-73.The crowd was thrilled that the national team had won the game. The internet was buzzing with excitement too. There were several hot searches about the national team's victory. The topic #RisingStarJim made the headlines too.Sage had lost her usual composure. She was following the fans and shouting wildly, cheering for the victory.Perhaps this was the power of sports. It made the audience exhilarated and trembling with excitement. Jace looked calm on the outside, but he was actually quite excited on the inside.Sage was cheering in excitement. She jumped up and down like a child while hugging Jace. Jace followed and laughed with her too.They were planning to leave after the game, but Sage was really happy and stayed for the team's celebration party. Sage even asked Jim for his teammates' shoe sizes and
"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.
The next morning, Sage, Jace, and Dean went to the basketball arena for the World Championships after breakfast.It was the men's basketball world championship, where their country's basketball team was up against another country. 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. They especially came over to get closer to him. Some were Jim's fans too. They knew Dean was Jim's brother, so they would greet him.After listening to Dean's explanation, Sage's businessman side as the owner of Norah Entertainment appeared again."If
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
