Chapter 20

Sage's POV

Thompson was rather calm and cooperative as the meeting continued. I'd felt he would have a lot of other shit to sprout about my sense of operation but he didn't.

As the meeting came to an end, the investors looked content and proud of the outcome of it. We had put out and rephrased the financial budget for the company's projects during the second half of the year.

Our market value at the moment was peak. The highest we've ever experienced. Thompson didn't seem happy to give me the credit but he had no choice.

I was happy to watch him reluctantly applaud for me along with the others. Too bad he didn't succeed in his aim of badmouthing me, however, he had a lot to tell Theodore the next time they met.

I exchanged handshakes with them before walking them out of the room.

Violet was outside and she collected the file from me, "They look pleased"

"They are. Ecstatic in fact." I felt a sense of pride as I spoke, "The Jersey project and its performance in the market is

She was seated on the couch watching a series."Yes, he came back some minutes ago" She replied getting to her feet. She picked up the tote bag which which had been sitting next to her making me stare at her in confusion."Oh okay. Are you going somewhere?""I am going home. I usually don't stay, dear. Last night was the exception since it was a special request" She gave me a knowing stare and I cleared my throat."Alright, see you tomorrow" "Sure. I made dinner for you two, don't forget to have it" Her voice was calm but I couldn't help but detect a hint of a tease in it.I turned and watched her as she left, fighting to keep my expression neutral. This woman was definitely teasing me and it was notable from the short laughter she gave when she turned to wave at me.Fuck, my face was flushed. She might be thinking of something else...I closed the door and sighed, squaring my shoulders as I headed to

    Chapter 22Sage's POV"This place is gorgeous," I gasped in awe as we entered a restaurant located around the outskirts of town.It took around forty-five minutes to get here."This way," Diego said as led me to an empty table by the window behind the room. The restaurant was small and warm. There was a homely touch to it that brought me comfort.The aroma of grilled chicken with garlic filled the room and it made my stomach grumble. I suddenly felt hungry to the point of feeling my guts twisting."How did you find this place?" I asked, scanning the room. Apart from both of us, there was another couple occupying the table in the middle of the room. They seemed to be fighting for the menu even though there was another one before them."During one of my random drives around town. I stopped by to get a treat and it has been one of my favorite dinner spots since then" He explained and I nodded thoughtfully.We picked the menu on the table and went through it. As we did, a man approached u

Her hands played with the hem of my shirt and slowly found their way inside, running up my abs.The night had ended with her getting drunk. I took note to myself, never let her drink alcoholic wine again. I closed the door behind me gently and headed toward the bedroom.She grumbled something about me wanting to fuck her and a small smile stalked across my face. I stared at her perfect figure in my arms, she was drunk yet seducing me as though she was in her right mind."I know what I want, sweetheart but I doubt you're ready for it" My voice was hoarse and low. If only she knew how much a single stare from her could set me off, she wouldn't bother trying.My breath caught when her hand moved from my abs to the waistband of my pants. This woman was playing a dangerous game and she knew the right moves to make."I

    Chapter 24Sage's POVFuck!My head hurt, I thought as I contemplated opening my heavy eyelids. My head was throbbing as though a bass drum had been stationed in my skull.My eyelids parted and instinctively, my hand went up my face palming it as I winced in pain. I squinted, a groan leaving my lips as I struggled to sit up on the bed. Damn! The last time I drank that much was when I was still a freshman at college. I might be a party freak but drinking is out is out of the books for me.My mouth was sour and dry. I needed water. Why did I drink so much last night?A wave of dizziness crashed over me as I tried to sit up, I clutched the bedside table, steadying myself and when I was up, I brought my knees to my chest. My hands went to my head, gently massaging my temples.I heaved a sigh, my eyes darting around the room to see if Diego was in. The faint scent of his cologne meant he had been in for a while but he didn't sleep here last night, the space next to me was cold and the she

Bella drove recklessly like she was in a video game with an unlimited supply of lives. I don't think she realized it though. When we arrived at the construction site, I met with the engineers present and had a few words with them then toured the place. The first place we went to was in the southern part of the city. The next site we visited, we watched the demolition of the buildings around. "I've always admired how you handled your business," Bella said as we returned to the car, "You're confident and graceful... Different" I smirked, "Don't flatter me, Bella" "I'm being serious" Of course you are, my lips curved upward as I got into the driver's seat. I couldn't risk my life again. "We should hang out again, next time," She said applying lipstick to her already plump red lips. I glanced at her, tempted to ask if she had

    Chapter 26. Sage's POV My stride across the hallway to the conference room was decisive and purposeful. I kept my shoulders squared and my head high as always. Violet was beside me stressing and struggling to match my pace for whatever reason. She didn't want me to meet Alex because she felt he couldn't be trusted. How could she be so sure? She was being dramatic. We hadn't met him in years – five maybe? And I wasn't as worked up as she was even though I had the biggest connection to him. Biggest? No. I wouldn't call it that. Alex and I attended the same college well at least till he left without a trace. And during those days, I had it hot for him. He knew. Everyone knew and I basked in the feel of being called his girl. We were not even dating. I was so dumb then for some reason. It's what feelings do to you. Makes you dumb. This is one of the reasons, I don't appreciate being tied down in marriage. "That's his assistant" Violet informed as we neared the conference. Before t

If you have any problems, you can get it settled with him" Franklin, my grandfather's assistant spoke smoothly, his eyes darting between Edgar and I. He stood beside my grandfather's lawyer who had just read out his will. The old lawyer had his glasses resting on the bridge of his nose and his eyes peaking at me at intervals. The day had been going great till the time I spoke with Sage over the phone. Franklin came over with Grandfather's lawyer, Morris, and distorted me with the ridiculous clauses in his will. I'd thought everything was settled the moment he asked me to sell off my mom's house but no... I would get the best part of it indeed, the control of everything was mine now that I was married but it was still in his hands till I provided an heir with my wife within the first year of marriage. How fucking absurd that was! Within a damn year. Sage and my agreement would last for only six months and even if I'd pro

    Chapter 28. Sage's POV My heart slammed against my chest as Diego's lips moved against mine with so much desire and vigor. His hands cradled my face, holding me in place as he deepened the kiss. A moan slipped out of me as he pressed me against him. Feeling his bulge against me made me feel hot all over along with the shivers traveling down my spine as his tongue danced with mine. I couldn't think, my mind was a haze of emotions. All I could do was feel – feel the pounding of my heart and the simmering desire that threatened to boil over. I felt his passion, his desire, and his possession. I had never been kissed this way before. With so much passion. Passion so consuming. If the kiss was this good, how would it feel when he fucked? Instinctively, I pressed my thighs together with hopes that my core would stop throbbing in need but that seemed to worsen the situation. I was so wet for him, so much that I didn't mind if he fucked me right there, on the kitchen floor. Suddenly, t

    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

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

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
