Chapter 76

Diego's POV

"Mr. Ivanovna, we have reviewed every security footage around the company building and the results remain the same. The victim was involved in a hit-and-run accident that cost his life. It's quite unfortunate" Inspector Ross said, his eyes darting from me to Nick like he was searching for a reaction.

While there was none on my part, Nick snickered bitterly as he shook his head. "What have you found on the driver of that vehicle?"

Ross heaved a sigh that was filled with resignation before shaking his head. "We found nothing. However, my men are still on it. I've asked the IT unit to track the car's previous routes. Hopefully, if that is found out, we'll know who the driver was," He responded, but I had a feeling they – on their own – would never find out any more about the incident as it had been cleverly crafted. I had to put my men on this mission as well.

After a few words from Nick to the inspector asking him to keep up with the investigation, we walked

    Chapter 77 Sage's POV I sat in the living room, surrounded by the faint scent of roses that Tina had thoughtfully arranged in every corner. But the calming fragrance did little to soothe my frazzled nerves. My eyes scanned the company's performance reports, the numbers, and graphs blurring together as my anxiety spiked. The decline was worse than I'd expected. Stocks were plummeting, and our brand reputation was taking a hit. This was a result of Alex's ruined reputation. No one could trust and do business with a man who had his company in shambles already, and now due to that, my company was paying the price. Every downward trend reminded me of my father's decision to hand it out to Alex. I bet he was also viewing the stocks, maybe this would finally make him happy and content. I ground my teeth together as my grip on my tablet tightened. This was unbearable to look at, yet my eyes couldn't stare away. My phone buzzed, jolting me out of my thoughts. I glanced at the device on t

    Chapter 78Sage's POVAn hour had passed since the call with Violet and as I sat on the couch, I couldn't focus on the papers in front of me. My mind kept drifting to the clock, willing the hands to move faster. I was waiting for Diego, and I couldn't deny it. But why? When had I become so attached to him?Frustration flared inside me as I pushed the thoughts aside. I rose from the chair, intending to retreat to the bedroom. But just as I turned, the door creaked open. My breath hitched as Diego stepped into the room.He was on a call; his deep voice sounded low and controlled, and he was trying to keep it down. Very thoughtful. I looked him up, his hair was a ruffled mess, and the sleeves of the white shirt he wore were folded up to his elbows. His disheveled appearance, however, only added to his attractiveness, and I felt a pang of irritation. Why did he have to look like that? It wasn't fair, not when I was a mess inside.When our eyes met, time seemed to freeze. For a moment, it

    Chapter 79Diego's POVAs I closed the door behind me, I paused, gripping the doorknob. A heavy weight settled on my chest and I let out a measured breath.She didn't want my help. She didn't think she needed it. But I could see through her anger – she was scared and vulnerable, though she would never admit it. Sage was always trying to prove something and to stand on her own which she had succeeded in doing. It was one of the things I respected most about her. Hell, I admired it but it also infuriated me.How could someone so fiercely independent not see that leaning on someone wasn't a sign of weakness?Walking towards my car, I tried to push the doubt out of my mind. Filing those lawsuits was the right move. I didn't regret doing so. Alex deserved to pay. But maybe I should've told her first. Maybe she wouldn't have felt like I was trying to take over her fight. Then she wouldn't have looked at me like that—angry, betrayed. The look was now conveniently etched in my mind; it would

    Chapter 80Sage's POVDiego had kept to his words and returned later that night. He had met me asleep on the couch and taken me to the bedroom. The next day, I woke up feeling mortified but fell back when I saw him watching me from the door. When he was sure I was alright, he left me to Tina who took good care of me.She might have noticed a strain between us but she didn't ask questions about it. I'm better and more resolved at heart but Diego and I had not spoken a proper statement to each other since that night. As much as I loved the space, I was beginning to feel suffocated by the silence on my part. I wondered if he felt the same.But I couldn't guess as I barely saw him. He left early before I got up and returned when I was deeply asleep. He was avoiding me. The thought stung me the way I felt it would. The last time he did that was a month ago, and I couldn't keep my head leveled; this time around, it had been three days and seven hours already, and I had become very attached

    Chapter 81Sage's POVWhen I stepped into the familiar structure of my company's building, a small smile framed my face. I had missed this place. It had always been my haven. I wondered what I would have done if I had completely lost it. Go crazy? Whatever it could have been would have been terrible. This was the more reason I had to fight for it. I had to take back what was mine.Determination surged through me as I walked further into the building, the hum of the buzzing room settling around me. My employees were ecstatic to see me, and I noticed a few relieved faces amongst the crowd as I headed to the elevator. It must have felt like a nightmare for leadership to be changed overnight to them. I wasn't bragging, but I was a good boss– never difficult, just straightforward, and my employees were here because they shared the same values as me. However, if Alex had taken over, I had a feeling he would have made things difficult for them – some might've been sent off and replaced with

    Chapter 82Sage's POVMy heart skipped a beat as Violet's words hung in the air, their impact leaving me momentarily speechless. As I stared at her, my lips parted but my voice caught in my throat, unable to form a response."What?" I finally managed to choke out, my voice a little too high-pitched to be casual.Violet arched a brow, clearly amused but also serious. "You heard me"I swallowed hard, my eyes darting away from Violet's intense stare. Her blunt question had caught me off guard, leaving me feeling exposed and vulnerable, without a defense to hide behind."That's ridiculous," I muttered, forcing a laugh that didn't sound right even to my ears. "Why would I—""Sage." The way she said my name made me snap my mouth shut. I could tell she wasn't buying it. But what was there to buy, I wasn't lying.I pushed my hair back, fingers trembling slightly. "Violet, I don't know what you're talking about""Don't you?" Her voice was almost gentle now. "You've been different lately. The w

    Chapter 83Sage's POV"Sis!" I jumped, startled when Bella called out behind me.I had left the undies store and was standing in the waiting area, staring into space as my mind whirled with different thoughts about what I had felt earlier. After leaving there, I didn't feel watched. Now I couldn't help but wonder if one of those women in the store had been staring maliciously at me."I'm sorry I startled you, are you okay?" She asked, panicked when I turned to her."Um, Yeah," I forced a smile. "I was thinking about something relating to work, were you saying something?"Bella skeptically looked at me then she gazed around the room before returning her attention to me. Her brows furrowed, but thankfully, she didn't push it. "Yes, I said I'm done, we can leave now"My eyes dropped to the bags she was holding; some of them had been hung on her arm. God, she was such an extra person. I believe if it were left to her, she would buy the whole building. It's no wonder Diego had a very vague

    Chapter 84Sage's POVThe weight of the day pressed down on me like a heavy log. Violet had been brought to the hospital and she was inside the ward being attended to by the doctors. By the time we had arrived, she had fallen unconscious. The image of her pale face and bleeding head wouldn't leave my mind as I sat outside the ward, clutching my trembling hands together as silent tears rolled down my cheeks. Bella sat beside me, her arm wrapped around my shoulders as she whispered soothing words I couldn't process.All I could think of was who did this to her? And why? Kian stood a few feet away, speaking in hushed tones with his men. Their serious expressions only deepened my anxiety. I tried to think back to any activity lately that I thought was strange that could be related to this incident but I couldn't figure anything out. I was blank, scared, and lost. What would I do if I lost Violet? God!"Diego!" Bella's sudden exclamation startled me, and I snapped my head up.He was here

    Chapter 120Diego's POVSage kept stealing glances at me throughout the ride back home. Once, I'd caught her and noticed there was a subtle blush across her face as she did. I couldn't help but chuckle at her sudden change of attitude. Usually, she would be bolder after we had sex or made out, but today, she was acting shy. I didn't mind the change, though, but it was new, and she looked fucking cute.I don't think she knew how cute she looked acting all shy. Watching her ride my fingers to find her release was one of the prettiest things I'd ever seen. And I know this was part of the reason she kept stealing glances at me. Had she felt embarrassed? Or was it because she wanted more? It had been there in her eyes when she stared at me but I couldn't take her now. Not when she was still recovering.I turned to look at her as she stared outside the window, frowning at the bandage wrapped around her head that had been replaced by a nurse before we left the hospital.

    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

  • Be my sugar daddy, Mr. Billionaire   Chapter 113

    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
