Chapter 52

Sage's POV

When I stepped out of the restroom, my eyes scanned the hallway but I caught no sign of the nameless woman who I had just spoken with. She left the restroom barely a minute ago and now, it was like she'd just vanished in thin air.

Something didn't add up but I couldn't place it.

I stood there for a while wondering who she was and why she was interested in my relationship with Diego. Initially, I placed her as a fling but it didn't seem like such a pass to me.

Taking a deep breath, I headed back downstairs to the living room where the auction had taken place. Diego was done with his speech and a few of the guests were leaving while others were having conversations over wine.

I stopped to speak with a few people as I returned to the room. Diego was on the other side and in a deep conversation with Baron Lockwood.

"Congratulations Mr Lockwood on your newest property," I said to Baron and he gave me a knowing smile raising his glass. According to our agreement

    Chapter 53 Diego's POV The evening had been going great from the moment Sage decided to break her plans to me about the property which was now within her grasp. But now, faced with the people who had betrayed me years ago, the galore of the night had been ruined. My eyes darted between my cousin and his fiancée, lingering longer on her. Hailey. She was the one. Now with brown hair, I remembered that she was a dye freak. I'd never gotten to see her authentic self, and I didn't care since she was happy doing whatever she wanted. I once loved her and would do anything for her. A brief, stabbing pain pierced my chest as memories of our past surfaced. But it was momentary, and I was surprised by how little I felt. The thought of her no longer had the power to cause me pain. Rather, a sense of disgust towards her was what reigned in my mind. She had been introduced by Dean as his fiancée, but since she had no dignity to save herself, she chose to openly leer at me. I smirked, recalling

    Chapter 54 Sage's POV I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that settled in the pit of my stomach as I thought about the way Diego had looked at Hailey. It was just a glance, barely thirty seconds, but it felt like an eternity. I was being ridiculous, I knew that. But I couldn't help the rage that coursed through my veins. Get yourself together, Sage... get it together. I chanted internally, trying to calm myself down but it wasn't working. I was furious, and I could feel my body shaking with anger. I was mad at myself, not Diego. But somehow, his presence seemed to fuel my emotions. Was this what insecurity felt like? I'd never experienced it before. There was never anything worth feeling this way for. But now, with Diego, I felt like I was losing myself. I glanced at Diego and he was staring at me with a mixture of frustration and the tenderness I'd grown fond of. That was it. The fondness. I shouldn't be growing fond of him. No, I needed to stop whatever was happening be

    Chapter 55 Sage's POV "Kian will drive you home, I need to check on some things at the office" Diego had said to me, holding the door to the car open with his head slightly poking in. We just arrived from Berlin. The flight had lasted for roughly six hours. It was the longest six hours of my life. I'd stayed in my seat throughout the flight and fought the urge to even look at him even when I panicked. He watched me and only offered his hand. I felt a mix of emotions as I wondered why he didn't hold me in his arms. This was the most words he'd spoken to me since our conversation last night. Was he avoiding me, now? "Okay" I nodded, not casting him a glance and he closed the door. He didn't look back as he walked to the other car behind. ..... When I woke up the next morning, I reached behind me out of instinct to check if Diego was there. My heart dropped when I realized that he was wasn't and I begrudgingly sat up and ruffled my hair. I'm so stupid. Taking a deep breath, I

    Chapter 56 Sage's POV Theodore was seated on my chair with a laid-back expression when I walked into the conference room. I frowned immediately and shot him a warning glare and he chuckled standing up. I know he missed the power he once had but he could go relive the memories in someone else's office, not mine. He could use Alex's company as well. Violet had given me a rundown of a few things on our way here and I got to know that Alex had given him a manageable position at his company. It's probably the reason why he was confident enough to come here. "Sage..." He started coming towards me and I held out my hand to stop him "What are you doing here, Theodore?" I asked, my voice icy. He stopped walking and frowned. "Is that how to speak to your husband after so long?" I glared at him with so much hate and anger. How dare he come here and proclaim himself to be my husband? "Theodore, I don't want to remind you that we no longer have a relationship again the next time we meet"

He still is as dedicated as before, but now, his words are making my mood worse. I was furious and almost boiling over with rage. What had happened wasn't his or his team's fault and the sooner he left my sight, the better it was for him. "Mr. Batcher, you may leave" Mark stepped in quickly as though he could sense the turmoil in my mind. Troy turned and left immediately with my CFO, Raphael, trailing after him. He seemed to have a lot to say but he knew better. After a few minutes of sitting in silence with white noise humming in my mind, I rose from my chair and stormed out of the conference room.

    Chapter 58Diego's POVAs I stepped into the dimly lit bar, the smooth sounds of jazz enveloped me like a warm blanket. The air was thick with the scent of fine whiskey and the hum of hushed conversations. The decor was sleek and sophisticated, with polished wood and rich leather accents that seemed to glow in the soft light.This was one of Nick's bars, he'd purchased it a few months ago and had it redesigned to suit his taste which I'd say was impeccable. I'll give that to him.I made my way to the bar, my eyes scanning the room for a familiar face and when I finally spotted him, my lips twitched unpleasantly. He was seated in a booth in the corner of the room with a woman stuck to his side.He said something into her ear that made her giggle and place a kiss on his cheek. I'm sure he promised her a night with him. He'd never change. Suddenly, he raised his head and his eyes locked onto mine. He grinned and waved me over."You came!" He smirked, the fucker sounded surprised I made t

    Chapter 59Sage's POVI had been working for so long and trying to stay awake for no apparent reason at all. I could get these done at work tomorrow but I was still here. My eyes darted to the wall clock again for the umpteenth time and my chest stung when I saw how late it was.Diego wasn't home yet.I didn't want to admit but I was going through all this trouble because I was waiting for him to come home. However, it seemed like he wasn't going to and the realization hurt more than I imagined.Getting up from the couch, I cursed as I limped towards the kitchen to refill the empty jug. Goodness, my ankle hurt like hell. I don't remember the last time, I felt such crude pain. Internally, I hauled curses at Theodore as it was his fault that I was in this condition.Bastard!I refilled the jug and as I made my way out of the kitchen and dining area, I heard the door gently open and when I saw Diego's frame step in, my heart skipped a beat. I was pleased that he was back, however, wary o

His eyes, however, were glued to me searching deep into my soul.It kept me excited and nervous at the same time. What did this mean? What was he looking for?While I had lots of thrilling thoughts as to why he was taking his time, I couldn't help thinking negatively as well. What if he got up and walked away? Had he suddenly found me unattractive and was having a rethink?The last thought hit me hard and before I knew it, I began to recoil, fighting to break from his hold and there was a flash of hurt in his eyes that automatically made me still."Diego..." My voice cracked and his eyes narrowed slightly. I darted my gaze away from his, trying to hold back the tears that had started forming in my eyes, "Let me go""Why?" He questioned, his voice hoarse and annoyingly seductive. It awakened ever

    EPILOGUE( Two Years Later... )Sage stretched out in exhaustion after she had finished cleaning up Zara's mess. Zara was the last of hers and Diego's triplets, and recently, she wasn't feeling too well."You feel better, now don't you?" She asked, smiling at her daughter who smiled back as though agreeing to her words. The triplets – two girls and a boy – were turning two years old in three months, but they could understand and even say a few words, well, except for Zara, who seemingly wasn't that fast to catch up, but she was smart in her way.Casting them one last glance to be sure they were all set, Sage headed to her closet to put on the evening gown she had picked out earlier. Her parents had called, insisting that she come to dinner, leaving no room for argument. They'd even asked her to dress up but she wasn't going to put much effort. It was just dinner, and she couldn't afford to stay out with Zara for long.Normally, she would if Diego was around, but he wasn't, as he trave

    Chapter 144Sage's POV( Two months later... )I stood before the mirror rubbing my small baby bump tenderly with a pout on my lips. I'd just finished eating a carrot cake but I was still craving more. I wished Diego were here to sneak some food for me.But that wasn't possible because he was with the guys getting ready for our wedding. Yes, today was the day of the wedding and I was dressed in my stunning wedding dress that was specially designed for me. Vivian had set an appointment with one of the best designers in the world just to get this dress made."You look gorgeous, bestie," Violet said as she walked into the room with Bella by her side. Bella had been busy running around to get everything done properly so I hadn't seen her a lot in the past days."She's right. You look super hot, and this dress is fucking stunning," Bella complimented, and my cheeks flushed as I muttered a thank you to both of them. What would I do without them? Violet especially.She was working with Dad a

    Chapter 143Author's POVIt was around eight in the evening when Theodore stormed into Emily's apartment. He was seething with fury after learning of the preparations being made for Sage and Diego's wedding. He found it hard to believe that in the end, he didn't get Sage back. Instead, he was left prowling in the dark out of fear.Diego's men were still out there haunting him. He knew because he hung around bars where a lot of information was shared.He wasn't happy about this arrangement but what could he do? He had no plans and he was out of cash.The only reason he was back here was to sweet-talk Emily into giving him some money like he had done the last time.He walked into the living room, quietly putting an ear out in case someone else was present since sometimes, her cousins would drop by out of courtesy.He relaxed, however, when he saw her in the kitchen, chopping some vegetables. He took her in, frowning when he recalled the first time they met. She looked prettier then, and

    Chapter 142Sage's POVI coughed as the cloth that was shoved into my mouth was pulled out. My eyes were open but I couldn't see anything. It was dark due to the blindfold covering my eyes.My breathing was labored and when I calmed down, I spoke. "Who are you? Why have you kidnapped me?!" I could feel someone's presence but couldn't tell where he was standing exactly. And now, that all my senses came back to track, my nose scrunched up. This place stinks. I tried to move my arms, but they were tied to the back of the chair, and so were my legs."What do you want from me?!" I called out again, breathing heavily as I thought of the only person psychotic enough to do such a thing. Theodore!My stomach sank and I swallowed hard."I'm talking to you, answer me!!" I yelled, "What do you want from me? Money? I have money, I can give it to you. Let me go!!" I heard someone snicker, and I bit my lips tightly, almost drawing blood. What had I gotten myself into? I should have stayed in the su

    Chapter 141Diego's POVMy brows furrowed when the call ended abruptly. I took the device away from my ears and stared at the dark screen.I tried calling her again but this time, there was no response. The call didn't even go through. Something was off. I was standing in our bedroom and had been there for half an hour. Initially, I felt she went for a walk down the beach but after checking security, I was told that she left the hotel in a taxi.Anxious, I called her. She couldn't be out there on her own. Not when Dean had suddenly flown out of New York, last night. His destination had been Vegas but I still didn't want to trust that he'd let things slide without a fight.I took off my jacket and plopped on the couch, dialing her number again but it was still the same response. It was switched off.Something was wrong but then I hoped my hunch was inaccurate. I hoped that I was just overreacting and she was safe.Getting up, I grabbed my jacket and headed out of the house while asking

    Chapter 140Sage's POV"I wish we could stay here forever. It's so comforting over here" I said with a sigh as we ate. Diego had placed the orders for our meals to match my food preferences lately.I had no idea he had been watching my dietary habits closely and knowing he had made my heart swell with many emotions."We can always come back if you want." He said in response, staring at me and I smiled."This definitely tops the list of my favorite places for vacation. I thought Berlin would remain special but I guess not." I muttered mostly to myself but I knew he heard me.The rest of dinner continued with us having light conversations about the food and place. He promised to take me to Italy just to taste a special wine because I'd complimented the one he ordered.I'd always wanted to visit Italy so I bought that idea. Besides, my flying anxiety reduced drastically when he was with me."When did you realize that you were in love with me?" I asked after a while, breaking the silence

I snapped at Diego who was chuckling as I angrily rummaged through my bag for my credit card."I didn't come because I know what you sound like when you scream," He said, and my face flushed. I turned to look around the room, checking if anyone heard us; thankfully, there was no one around except a few ladies standing at the end of the hall, staring at Diego like he was some kind of snack.The stares were what caused this argument in the first place. A few ladies I'd met in the closet while checking out the dresses seemed confident about Diego checking them out and running to the closet when he heard a scream, but that didn't happen.And he wasn't wrong, I hadn't screamed.Clearing my throat, shoved my bag aside and placed my hands on my waist. "Where's my credit card?""You're not paying for your dresses while I'm here, sweetheart. Come here." He pulled me against h

It was going to be awkward in many ways," Violet explained. I sighed, staring out of the window and watching as the houses and trees moved.I was on my way to my parent's place. They were back from their vacation a few days ago, and Mom insisted that I come to visit soon."Well, I don't think you have to worry about that anymore. He left, and I'm sure that's the last interaction we'll ever have," I said, shaking my head, and she just scoffed."Nah, he'll get over it. He did this to himself" She said dismissively."You sound like Diego right now." I pouted and she chuckled."That just shows you how amazing I am." She praised herself, and I rolled my eyes. After we bade our goodbyes, I hung up, counting seconds in my head as the car neared my parent's estate.Mom sounded so excited to learn that I was on my

The food Diego had ordered was here and I couldn't contain my excitement as I bit into every meal present.Diego was watching me, fascinated and ready with a glass of water in hand in case I choked on something. How considerate of him.Suddenly, I turned to him and caught him staring, seemingly intrigued and awestruck."What?" I asked, swallowing hard"You look so cute that I can't help but stare" He smirked and handed me the glass of water he was holding.My face flushed and I rolled my eyes as I took the glass to my lips. After drinking, I continued eating till I was done with everything that had been ordered and damn, that was satisfying.I rested back on the couch, throwing my head back as I let the feeling of satisfaction wash over me. A while back, I felt like I would die from hunger which was weird considering the huge breakfast I had in the morning.Diego quietly cleared the plates from the
