Chapter 36 Sage's POV Diego led me towards the mansion with his hand on the small of my back. His body hovered behind me as we maneuvered through the media. I noticed a few of his men pushing them back and wondered when they got here. He never went anywhere with them so it was surprising to see. "Are you okay?" He asked once we were out of sight of the crazy reporters. I nodded and looked at him, blushing when I met his intense gaze. "Cute" He complimented and my face dropped, I was about to snap at him when Greg Dickens, an associate of my father's approached us. We've met a couple of times. "Sage" He exclaimed and I smiled, he then turned to Diego, "Son, it's good to see the both of you. I heard about your marriage but doubted it, I can see for myself today that it is true. You see, no one knew about it, it was quite sudden" "It was kept between the families, of course, no one else would know," I said with a small smile. Dickens laughed, "You've always pointed out my ignoran
Chapter 37 Sage's POV "What's going on here?" Just as Emily's voice reached a fever pitch, a smooth, familiar voice cut through the chaos. I turned to see Alex standing by the side, his calm demeanor commanding attention. His eyes scanned the scene, taking in Emily's disheveled state and my nonchalant stance. A mix of surprise and guilt crossed his features as he stared at me. He took a step forward toward me ignoring Emily who was watching him, red from anger. "Sage–" Before he could finish, Emily's voice shrilled, "Cousin, help me!" Cousin? My eyebrows shot up. I'd guessed it would be such a relationship but hearing her say it confidently now, took me by surprise. She was Alex's cousin? Undoubtedly, a Walter. Alex's eyes drifted from me to her, his brows furrowed in annoyance, "Emily, what nonsense is this?" He thundered and she whimpered, staring at him in disbelief. I smirked. It didn't seem like she'd expected that from her beloved cousin "She attacked me!" Her voice wa
Chapter 38 Sage's POV "Since when has Emily been your cousin?" I asked Alex out of curiosity. Theodore had taken Emily to the hospital even though everyone knew that was not needed. The situation had been diffused and everyone was back in groups and having hushed discussions about what had happened as they didn't want to get on Diego's bad side. Not even the Walters'. I found the power he commanded sexy as fuck and blushed when I recalled a few times, he'd put me down with that side of his. Diego was by my side, our arms linked as Alex led us to the middle of the room. Alex turned and stared at me, "Recently, we found out about my uncle's illegitimate daughter. We tracked her down to reunite the family. Emily is the child" I nodded thoughtfully, recalling this uncle of his. I wasn't surprised he had an illegitimate child, he had a reputation for groping women back in the day. He'd passed away in a bar a few years back but no one knew the cause. It was concluded that he slumped.
Chapter One Sage's POV “You have to believe me, Sage. It all was a mistake. It was my fault he cheated on you. I am totally to blame for it all,” my husband's mistress sobbed as she sat before me, wiping her crocodile tears for the tenth time since she sat before me. She does not know how much I wanted to smile with joy and pour myself a glass of alcohol to celebrate the appearance of a tangible reason to divorce my husband. “I do not mind being his mistress,” she suddenly said, kneeling in front of me to reach out to grab my hands. “I promise, I'll make sure to stay out of your way, and if my child is born, I can leave if you want. But you would not want me away from my child, would you? I'll have to stay with him for a while.” I wasn't a fool; I understood what she was trying to do perfectly, and I wasn't complaining. It was going better than I had anticipated. “Please, say something, Sage.” As I was about to open my mouth to voice out something, the door was suddenly fl
Chapter Two Sage's POV “Aaahhh, so life is this perfect,” I exhaled, sinking deeper into the warm, fragrant bath, a smile of satisfaction spreading across my face as I looked down at the glowing city from my penthouse. I have not been this free and satisfied since before I met Theodore. I didn't care what he was doing right now, but I knew he should be welcomed by his cellmates by now, and whoever that Emily bitch was can drop dead. “Boss, you have a lot of paperwork to attend to.” I heard Violet's voice from the other side of the door. “Do you ever talk about anything but work, Violet?” I pouted, shaking the glass wine in my hand gently, not peeling my gaze from the dark city filled with dots of lights beneath me. “No, I don't, Boss.” She replied bluntly, and I just wanted to stuff her with alcohol, but I knew I was going to regret it. She was a very light drinker, and her drunken state wasn't the one I could deal with on a daily basis. “I am going down to the club to t
Chapter ThreeSage's POV Without his approval, I walked over to him, and in no time I was standing in front of him. From that, I could measure out our height difference nicely, as he was much taller than my petite self, reaching just his chest. His cologne was a mixture of ocean scent and rain scent, and I just wanted to drown in it as I sat on the sink, looking up at his flustered face while pulling off my shoes. “I didn't expect you to be the shy type, but now you're totally even more of my type.” I said, grabbing his rock-hard cock with my legs, making him throw his head back, trying to stiffle a moan. He was trying hard to keep in, but as my feet moved up and down, rubbing him together, he let out a groan. “Fuck… I want your mouth,” his deep baritone made my stomach tingle, and a smirk appeared on my face as I got off, kneeling before him while looking up at him. His face immediately flushed as I stared up at him naughtily, grabbing his cock, and a soft gasp escaped his lips.
Chapter FourDiego's POVMy heart thumped in my chest as I saw the woman I was seated before was the same one from the club last night. I couldn't sleep all night because she was on my mind, and right now, looking at her, my body was acting instinctively. Unlike her wild look yesterday, she looked more professional, and it made me feel hot knowing she didn't have just one side to her. So she was the famous Sage Willows with the reputation of having the best work in town but could also be ruthless and sweet, which was a weird word to stand side by side. She didn't act like she knew me at all during the entire meeting, which made my heart drop and at the same time made me quite intrigued to play the game she was trying to. “Will you love to check out the estate with us now?” Her assistant asked, and my gaze finally shifted to her since she was directing her question to me. “No problem.” I gave a nod of approval, and we all left for the estate they had built just for me. I would be s
Chapter FiveSage's pov He gritted his teeth, and he let out a sigh as I positioned myself below him. His submissive side was in play as he watched me dominate him.I grabbed his button and unbuttoned it, but the familiar footsteps of our assistants held me back."I guess today isn't your lucky day, Papi," I said as I slid off his length."What?" He asked in a whisper, and I could tell that he was confused by my words."Our assistants are here," I informed and arranged my shirt while I spoke.I could hear him curse under his breath as he arranged his clothes, and I knew that he was disappointed by such wrong timing.I would have been too if I wasn't satisfied.I turned to him with a bright smile, one that could pierce through anything, and I saw the defeat in his eyes. He wanted me so badly.The door swung open, and the assistants walked in.The deal was concluded, and I was sure that Diego's mind was divided."It was a pleasure, Ms. Sage," Diego turned to me with a handshake and a s
