SAGE'S pov

"Good day ma'am, the boss asks that you come with me immediately," Justin informed with a slight bow.

Justin was my father's butler, but he shouldered more than what a butler would do. He was the only one my parents could send for such a secretive and urgent matter.

I turned to Violet, and she gave me a courageous nod in response.

No words were needed. She knew that I was going in for questioning, and the nod was to encourage me to face them.

Justin stepped aside, still slightly bowed. He gestured towards the car parked right before the entrance, and I walked to it without arguments.

Maybe it was time to let the cat out of the bag once and for all. I sighed and fixed my gaze outside the window of the car.

"Would you like some music ma'am?" Justin asked with a light smile

"I'm good, Justin, thanks."

Justin had almost worked forever for my dad, and the family had grown fond of him. He knew when to speak and when to keep mute. When to smile an

    Chapter EightSAGE'S pov "Calm down Dad, what other lesson do you intend to teach him? Besides, he's already a sorry soul. " My smirk turned to a smile as I couldn't help but admire my father's aggression.I knew he could make life a living hell for Theodore, but I didn't want him to stress over someone as irrelevant as him. Besides, I wanted to handle him myself. Theodore was my catch, and I was going to roast him to my taste.My parents' faces suddenly held pity for me but I didn't want that, I was so happy Theodore messed up, he allowed me to get the divorce I'd always craved and I was grateful for everything that made it possible for him to cheat and steal from me.Including his mistress, who got pregnant for him and refused to abort it.'Okay! Now is the time to go.' My parent's pitiful faces made me conclude within myself. One more minute in the same space with them could lead to hours of words of encouragement.I didn't have such time, and I had more issues settling outside t

    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

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?

    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 133Sage's POV"Sage" Diego's soft voice whispering in my ear roused me from sleep. I heaved a sigh, begrudgingly pulling my eyelids apart to see him crouching beside me with a concerned look.However, my attention was somewhere else. It was on the tray of breakfast he had kept carefully beside me on the bed. The delicious aroma of freshly made waffles and maple syrup wafted into my nostrils, leaving me disoriented for a second."Hey, are you okay? You look sick." Diego's voice brought me out of my reverie, and I looked at him, running a hand through my hair."Did I pass out?""Maybe, I stepped out to get you breakfast. It's not even been up to thirty minutes, and you're already fast asleep," He explained, a breath of relief leaving his lips as he took me in with his eyes."Well, it's not my fault that I'm exhausted. Someone wouldn't let me catch a break," I teased, biting my lips as I looked away, and he chuckled, a deep rumble that sent heat to my core. God, I can't believe

    Chapter 132Sage's POVHis threat hit her like a storm, bringing her to a dramatic pause. I let out a breath, scoffing when I saw how heavily she was breathing. Was all this terrible energy good for the baby's growth? My eyes trailed to her baby bump and instantly, I felt a mix of pity and concern for the life forming inside of it.Both of its parents were unreliable; how would it turn out?Diego walked to us and stood between us. He cast her a long, brooding glance as if measuring his prey, and she trembled slightly, dropping her hand to her side. He then looked back at me, and I nodded, grinning back at him.His lips twitched but his expression remained unreadable as he turned back to a fuming Emily."For the first time, Ms. Emily, you made the right choice and you better stick with it because I don't make empty threats." He told her and chills traveled down my spine at how menacing he sounded."This isn't over yet" Emily spat, glaring at me. The sheer intensity of the rage in her e

    Chapter 131Sage's POVAugusto's revelation of Dean being adopted left me feeling torn between anger and pity. I was angry at him for letting the secret drag on to this point but then, if I were in his shoes, I wouldn't have had the guts to shatter the poor boy's heart either.I let out a sigh, staring out of the window as the car sped on the highway. Dean would be feeling devastated right now, anyone would. Imagine learning that your whole life was a lie and the people you cherish so much don't share a relationship with you. He was right to be angry, but aiming his anger at Diego was intolerable."Where are we going?" I asked when I noticed that Diego had taken another route from the one that led us home.He sighed before responding. "To the hospital. I want to visit my aunt""Okay," I nodded in understanding. "What do you think Dean has in mind?"His jaw tightened, and so did his grip on the wheel, but his eyes never left the road. "Whatever he does, I'd be a step ahead of him""I k

    Chapter 130Diego's POVAs my grandfather descends the stairs, a dreadful feeling settles on my chest. I don't know why but I feel like he's going to say something I'm not prepared to hear. When the call was made last night, he tagged our visit as urgent.With him, anything urgent is often bad news and I don't think I need any of that now that I'm getting my life together.Getting to the foot of the stairs, he whipped his head in our direction, and a smile appeared on his face. He looked paler and weaker than the last time I'd seen him. His condition was deteriorating fast, and everyone could tell, but he didn't want to receive the necessary treatment. I wondered why he would choose to do something like that."Diego, Sage, you're welcome. I'm glad the two of you could make it" He said as he walked toward us."How are you feeling today, Grandpa?" Sage asked him as he neared and he chuckled. "I feel much better but there's so much taking a rest can do"He glanced at me and offered a war

    Chapter 129Sage's POVMy mind was filled with questions and skepticism as I stepped out of the house, heading toward the car where Diego stood waiting for me. He was dressed in slacks and a causal black shirt. Though, not formal as always when he'd be in suits, he still looked breathtaking.Approaching the car, he smiled slightly at me as he opened the car door for me to get in. When I was settled, he got into the driver's side. It was something around past five in the evening and we were heading to Augusto's place for dinner.It had been an invite from the old man the previous night which was tagged as urgent. I thought it was weird but Diego was keeping his mind open for the possibilities of what was to come.I couldn't help the tension building in my chest, the last time we had dinner at Augusto's place, the old man had thrown Dean back into the company despite knowing how terrible Dean had been to Diego in particular. I wondered what it was going to be now."What do you think is

    Chapter 128Author's POVEmily stood at the bus stop, her face contorted to a frown as her eyes scanned the area for any sign of the man who had called her phone an hour ago.She had been in the backyard of her house, tanning under the sun, when she received a call that had her agitated. She didn't know who she'd spoken with but the man said he knew where Theodore was. That was enough to get her out of the house.Though standing here now, she couldn't help thinking if she had been lied to and if someone was trying to trap her. Her frown deepened when someone walked past her, bumping into her. She staggered, almost falling but she grabbed the pole for support and slowly lowered herself on the bench."Fucking bastard," She cussed under her breath, placing her hand on her protruding belly. She was six months gone, and now that she needed Theodore the most, he was nowhere to be found and, apparently, in Diego Ivanovna's bad books. Could she survive this?Her brothers didn't want anything

    Chapter 127Sage's POVDiego's words hung in the air, thick and heavy, as though the weight of them could pull me under. I love you. He said it so effortlessly, yet it felt as if the earth had shifted beneath my feet. My lips parted to speak, but no words came out. I couldn't breathe, couldn't think."I love you," He repeated, cupping my cheeks and placing his forehead on mine. My eyes remained glued to his face. I was stunned, and my heart was hammering in my chest so much that I feared he could hear it."W... what?" I finally found my voice but it came out in a whisper. All my anger had been forgotten in the heat of the moment, I just wanted to be sure I wasn't hearing things."Say something, Sage," Diego pleaded softly, his hands running down my cheeks. His voice was raw and filled with emotions."I…" My voice cracked, and I shook my head slightly, short of words. I mean, I'd been waiting to hear those words from him, and truly, when he said it, I felt the world spinning, but now,

    Chapter 126Sage's POV"I need to use the restroom," I'd whispered to Diego and then left the room. But stepping out there on my own turned out to be a mistake because I had no idea where the restroom was located. And everyone was too immersed in the party's buzz to hear me out.Luckily enough, I managed to ask one of the servers at the party where I could find the female restroom, and I was glad she'd helped. I found my way to the restroom, and after doing my business, I brought out my small purse of makeup to do a quick touch-up on my face. The night had been easy going so far, but I'd been sweating a lot, and my make-up was beginning to smother.I smiled at my reflection in the mirror after I was done re-applying my make-up. Just when I thought of leaving, my phone rang in my purse. Reaching out to it, I saw it was Violet calling."Sage, I've been calling you for ages." Violet's voice came from the other end, and my lips pursed. I had noticed my phone ringing earlier. "Anyway, wha

    Chapter 125Diego's POVAs expected, Nick had not thrown a simple party like he had made it out to be over the phone. The house, which was located in a private estate downtown, was filled up by the time Sage and I arrived, and it was already loud as the bass sounds filled the room.With each thump of the bass, the room would vibrate and fuck; for a moment, I thought my head explode. When was the last time I'd been to a club? Months ago. Five months and some weeks ago, precisely. I recall the day vividly like it was just yesterday. And the reason for my swift memory was right beside me, nodding her head to the music.Nick was lucky Sage was excited to be here, else, I'd have left the moment we arrived. Prowling through the sea of bodies, my hold on Sage remained firm as I led her to the room in the back hall, which I suspected would be quieter. Nick was such a fucker, that he didn't even bother coming down to welcome his guests."Where are we going to?" Sage asked, her voice loud over
