CHAPTER 9

SAGE'S POV

“Sit” Diego said. He was calm and being reserved and this greatly scared me.

His gentle and soft tone didn't make it any good, I was nervous a little bit but I had to maintain my composure hiding the fear evident in my eyes.

“Diego, what do you want from me now?” I said already sat. “Why did you bring these to my workplace, what are you trying to do now?” I added.

He smiled for a minute and offered a solution. “What solution?” I asked. “I thought you wanted a solution to all this” he smiled.

He smiled again! Diego was so corny and not knowing what he had on his sleeves made me more anxious. I wanted to rip and tear his lips all apart but he was willing to provide a solution, as he claimed.

“We just have to play our cards right Sage, this rumor and picture can not help us out of this dilemma we are in already” he said.

“What do you mean by playing along Diego, this already ruined part of my business and it's frustrating me” I responded. “Just calm

    Chapter 10 Sage's POV "You must be insane, Diego. I don't have time for whatever you intend to do. Get to the point and if you have nothing, leave!" I snapped at Diego who was now leaning too close for comfort. The air between us was dense and filled with the smell of his cologne tainted with a hint of his aftershave. I hated to admit it but he smelt divine. Yet, after all that, he chose to piss me off. He just asked me to marry him with a straight face. I scoffed, the man was fucking delusional. Just because he could call my pussy gold and get away with it didn't mean he could push his luck. "Whoever has spread these rumors must've found something amiss about you and your husband and chose to make this up even though it's not entirely made up. We were indeed together" He said with a hint of a smile on his lips and the way he stared at me suggested that he knew a lot about mine and Theodore's failed relationship. "I'm going to handle it on my own. You're only giving me a headach

    Chapter 11 Sage's POV 'Ask away Theodore, I also don't know when Diego and I tied the knot' I thought to myself yet clinging to Diego to put up an act seeing as Theodore looked drained of color. The pulse on his neck ticked as he tightened his jaw. He looked angry. Jealous even. What a loser, I thought. One question bugged me though, how on earth was he out of jail? I remembered tossing the evidence of his dirty deeds to the police and also had seen the police cars go into the house that day so how come he barged into my office with the guts to question my decisions? I glanced at Violet only to find her discretely squinting at me. She showed no signs of being in shock which was very much appreciated. It would have been a dead giveaway of the lie if she were. Her eyes, however, had lots of questions in them. I also had the same questions but I'd clear the air once this was over. "This can't be true right?" Theodore asked, his gruff voice slicing through the icy silence that had f

    Chapter 12Sage's POVViolet walked into my office with a file in her hand a few moments after Diego left. I had gotten myself together and was behind my desk."Mr. Ivanovna asked me to give this to you," She said with an accusing stare as she passed the file to me.I looked at the file with a frown then returned my gaze to her. She was still staring at me like she could see the image of my brain."What?" I asked"I didn't know you remarried," She remarked a hint of conviction in her voice."Diego and I are not married. At least not yet" I rolled my eyes, dropping the file on the desk tiredly, "This is our marriage contract"She smirked and pulled a seat across the desk, "So you're getting married to him?" "It's a contract. I'm getting more than he will so it's fair" On his end, he'd be tagged the unfilial grandson once the charade was over, in three months, at best."But you're getting married to him either way" A glare from me made her stifle a laugh. I hated it when she switched t

    Chapter 13Diego's POVI pulled over at a fancy restaurant in the heart of town. I alighted the car and straightened my suit jacket before heading toward the entrance which was covered in regal gold lighting.The restaurant was well-known for its exquisite cuisine and the presence of different celebrities. A casual walk-in could land one in the sight of over five movie stars. Because of this, paparazzi were always lurking around. Even now, I believe a few photos of me had been taken and a story was getting generated.A wave of nostalgia hit me as I neared the door. It had been over a year – two maybe – since I came here in person. My assistant usually got takeout from here for me since I loved the seafood."Mr. Klein is expecting you, sir" A maitre d' approached me as soon as I stepped in. Nodding to her, she turned and led the way further into the restaurant. She led me to the second floor which was mainly occupied by people of great wealth.She stopped when we got in front of a dini

He asked to speak with you," Violet informed, walking toward me where I stood before the vanity mirror in my room.I was getting ready to meet, Talia, Theodore's mother since I found it hard to turn down her request. Hopefully, she wouldn't bring her son along."I won't speak to them till they have better things to say about me" A day ago, after the contract with Diego was established, we had to give the media enough to talk about so we made a public appearance by being all cuddly as I left his office. My parents were beyond furious and said a lot of fucked up things. But I have thick skin, thicker than theirs and now, they desperately wanted to speak with me as I'd locked them out.They should've known better than calling me names and scolding me for being an adult."Sage, don't you think you've put them through enough? I know they said horrible things–" Called me a disgrace "But I believe they said that out of anger at the momen

    Chapter 15Sage's POV"Nervous?" Diego asked after a while on the road to his grandparents' estate. My gaze was outside the window and my expression neutral but for some reason, there was a flutter in my chest that wouldn't stop no matter how many deep breaths I took.This couldn't be considered nervousness, right? I didn't care about what his family thought of me but it mattered as it would directly affect our deal and my reputation. A good enough reason for the cause of my jitters.Looking away from the window, I gazed at him. "Do I look nervous to you?""You tell me," He said, raising an eyebrow as he brought the car to a halt before a red light."Well, I'm not. It just feels strange since I've never had to lie to people's faces before" I scoffed and quickly added, "Especially against my will"Diego glanced briefly at me, "You were ecstatic about the deal a few days ago, weren't you?"Yes, I was but just because of my gains. I hadn't thought of 'being' his wife."By the way you loo

    Chapter 16Sage's POVThe clinking of cutlery against the ceramics echoed through the room, marking the silence. Tension hung in the air like a thick, suffocating blanket. Fleeting glances darted between Diego and me. Though no one spoke, I felt the weight of their unspoken questions.When Diego made the announcement earlier, his grandfather chose to ease the shock by asking everyone to sit for dinner. Now, I couldn't help but wonder what he had on his mind. Aside from complimenting the seared Salmon, he hadn't spoken another word.He was too calm for comfort. Had he been expecting this from Diego?The Seared salmon I'd forced down stuck in my throat when another possibility crept into my mind. Had the man seen through our charade already?"Diego, make her eat more," Vivian's voice rang through the room cutting through the silence that hung in the air. A hum came from Diego as he packed my plate with more of the savory quinoa crisps."Eat up, sweetheart" Diego smiled and I almost snor

The smile on her face as she ogled over Sage was far from pretentious. She was truly awed by Sage. Had she questioned Sage on purpose?I knew we had to expect such things but not from Bella, grandfather was to do the picking apart. Whatever the case was, I was relieved on Bella's behalf because sure as hell, she had been on my bad side for five minutes and was going to lose a brother today."Jesus Christ, Bella. We don't need a twisted soap opera with you around" Nick commented, holding his chest, dramatically."What can I say, Nicolas, it's a specialty of mine to be my brot

    Chapter 119Sage's POVDiego carried me to the restroom attached to my ward, and the moment he set me down, his lips crashed on mine, capturing them in a slow, sensual kiss that set shivers running through my body. My breath hitched as the warmth of his touch spread through my body, igniting my entire system.I sighed into his mouth, moving my lips desperately to match his pace. It was a rough and passionate kiss, different from the one we shared moments ago. His hands moved to the small of my back, rubbing his thumb in circles, and slowly, he pulled the knot that held the dress as a piece. I melted against him, moaning in pleasure, everything forgotten as that moment, it was just him and I.We broke from the kiss, both breathless but our bodies were ignited with the primal desire for each other. Diego stared deeply at me, his eyes holding a glint of dark desire as he rid my body of the hospital gown. He dipped his head, and kissed my shoulder blade, trailing up to my neck and chin.

    Chapter 118Sage's POVWhen my eyes opened after what I believed to be an hour later, they fell on Kian's burly frame in the middle of the room, and before him was Diego, ruffling his hair.I blinked, my eyes taking in his angry expression as he ordered Kian to find someone. Who was he talking about that made him so angry? Kian looked equally agitated, I could see that with the way his shoulders tensed.What were they talking about?"Diego," I called out almost gagging as the scent of hospital seeped into my system, filling my lungs. Gosh! I can't stand the scent of the hospital anymore. I just want to go home.Diego turned to me and the angry expression on his face earlier wore off, replaced by that of worry as he covered the distance to me. My brows shut up, worry filling my system as I thought of what it could be that had been bothering him."Did we disturb your sleep?" He asked, gently as he took my hand. I motioned to my bed and he nodded in understanding, helping me sit up. I sm

    Chapter 117Diego's POVSage's lips were moving but my mind was focused on the way her face was scrunched up in faux annoyance. A small smile twisted my lips, when last had I seen her this close and freely? I'd fucking missed her and heaven knows, I would have lost my mind if she wouldn't have survived this.This time, I wasn't going to let her go no matter how much she objected. But I doubted she would, she had said nothing but smile when I told her that. That fucking smile! It had stirred something within me that I hadn't felt in days. God, whatever she had done to me, I liked it. No, I loved it."Diego!" She snapped, her voice cracked but enough to get me out of the trance she'd trapped me in. I blinked, shaking my head slightly and giving her an inquisitive lookThe frown on her face deepened. "Did you hear what I just said?""No, sweetheart. I heard nothing, can you say that again?" I smirked, raising my brows and she gave me an eye roll that made my heart jump."Stop flirting wi

    Chapter 116Sage's POVIt was all a daze.I thought I had heard Diego whispering to me but my brain couldn't process a thing. I only knew that somehow, I was safe and still breathing. Still alive.*****My eyelids felt heavy as I attempted to pull them apart. My whole body felt like I was being held down by weights that kept pulling me down no matter how much I tried breaking free. This left my system numb but for some reason, I kept pushing to open my eyes.And I did.I winced painfully as the bright light penetrated my sour and tired eyes. It was as if someone was pointing a flashlight directly at my face. I snapped my eyes shut, my entire system now adjusting to the environment and before I opened them again, my nose had picked up the strong smell of chlorine and bleach, a typical smell of the hospital.I almost gagged at how strongly it invaded my nose.My blurry gaze ran through the room and then to the IV drip inserted in my hand. My head felt heavy and from it came a pang of pa

    Chapter 115Diego's POVAs I sped through the highway, my heart pounded in my chest, and my entire system burned with rage. If anything happened to Sage, I would lose it. It felt as though the car chose to drive at its pace and it was getting on my nerves.It was barely two minutes after the call with Sage, but it felt like an eternity, and all I could do while cursing my luck for not being fast enough was hope. Hope that she had fought Theodore. I had heard it when she gasped out his name. How had he gotten inside? How did he breach all that security I placed around her house?I clenched my jaws and my grip tightened on the wheel as a thought hit me. Could one of my men have betrayed me? I cursed under my breath, punching the steering wheel like it were his face. If it turned out that one of the guards helped in, he would have a companion on his way to hell.My mind reeled as I finally got to the estate, Sage's apartment was located and in a minute, I was pulling over roughly before

    Chapter 114Sage's POVMy heart pounded in my chest, fear coursing through my being as I squinted in the direction of the figure to make out who it was. The statue looked like that of a man and, somehow, familiar, but I couldn't place out who it belonged to. However, knowing it was familiar, heightened my fear."W.. who are you?" I asked, taking a step back as I flickered my gaze to my phone on the floor. Diego was still on call and he could help me.The person chuckled and I froze on the spot, eyes widening as recognition flowed in. I opened my mouth to speak but he stepped forward, a predatory grin lingering on his lips as he stared at me.I scrunched my face in annoyance and disbelief, gasping. "Theodore!"He smirked, then picked up my phone, ending the call abruptly. My eyes widened as he tossed the phone across the room. Dread settled in the pit of my stomach when he looked back at me. He seemed different and it was terribly. There was an unhinged look in his eyes, like he could

    Chapter 113Diego's POVI watched with an intense stare as one of my men tortured the man who had harmed Violet. His face was bloodied and so was part of his body. My lips twitched, satisfied as his screams of agony cut through the air.Initially, he wanted to play it cool like the sadist he thought he was but he had underestimated my men and their methods. They could break the strongest of men with the cruel way they tortured. Most of them had served in the army while others were the finest retirees from the most dangerous mafia families I had connections with.Most people who knew the kind of men I had hired thought of me as some maniac, hence my widespread reputation of being spineless. It wasn't a lie, but only those who crossed me encountered my wrath. But these men were only part of my crew because of my grandfather's close relationship with the mafia and I'd only salvaged this relationship to my benefit.I narrowed my eyes when the man lost consciousness and hung his head. He h

    Chapter 112Sage's POVI spent the rest of the afternoon binging a series I found on TV. After the call with my father, I felt less suffocated and in need of alcohol, so the brandy had been set aside and replaced with four big bags of chips and yogurt.I meant to ditch the brandy after the second glass before the call anyway; that stuff was damn bitter. It made me wonder how Diego managed to drink it.‘Thinking about him again?’ The voice in my head treacherously snarked and I scrunched my face. The thought of him has been crossing my mind sparsely whenever a commercial came up and I was back to seriously feasting on my chips.I found it quite infuriating as I had decided to end things. Thinking about him – his hot and ripped body, lips, hands – everything, would just stick with me then. It was a great deal and it was fun while it lasted. However, despite my decision, I couldn't help the subtle tug in my chest that made me wince occasionally. Coming to that conclusion had been heart-w

    Chapter 111Sage's POVStepping into my apartment after a moment of internally moaning over my decision of almost having a man killed, I stopped dead in my tracks, a shudder ripping through me as I gazed around the room, which for some reason felt eerily silent. It was weird as I had left here earlier without a care. Other than that, I have been staying here alone for days, but now, it almost felt like someone was inside the room with me, watching my move, which was quite disturbing.I walked over to the window, and my brows creased when I saw the guards on duty; they all seemed watchful and on alert. I doubt someone could pass them without getting noticed. I was probably being paranoid.Sighing, I returned to the living room, dropped my bag on the chair I kicked off my flats, and padded across the room to the small cellar situated next to the kitchen area. My eyes scanned the scanty rack for the best drink to drown myself in. I usually never drink, the reason why the cellar containe
