92: Complicated Things
"Here ..." Sage dropped my luggage on the sofa.
"Thanks." I stood up and opened it, first checking to see if the phone was there. I wasn't really expecting to find it, though. I 'm just hoping. When someone remembered I sighed. The cellphone fell on the floor of the van when it hit a tree.
"I'll just get dressed," I said after getting dressed.
Leaning on the sofa, he nodded.
Honestly, I'm not sure what to do to solve my problem. I want to solve this my way but it looks like Sage is determined to keep me safe here while letting his men investigate. From what he heard from Sandro earlier, I'm sure he's doing something to find out what's behind it all. As much as I want him to step aside and let me handle my problems alone, I know his words are unbreakable this time.
Though, at some part, I am thankful that he was there. Without him I would not have known what had happened. Maybe I was already killed. But I don’t regret what I told him earlier.

I slept for about three hours. When I came down, the men in black were already outside, watching. It seems that the security here is tighter than the resort's. I should be grateful for that. By the way, I was a little annoyed because even on the first floor of the mansion there were guards on each side."Uh, Sage?" I asked a man."In the kitchen, Ma'am," was her polite reply without even looking at me directly. I nodded and walked towards the kitchen.Like what the man said, Sage was there. I was momentarily stunned to see him wearing a black apron and in front of the frying pan. I was used at seeing him with those formal attires, but not this way. Only now have I seen him cook again. It’s been ages, so I can’t help but be amazed."You're awake ..."I straightened up when he suddenly spoke. He turned his back on me so I didn’t know how he knew I was coming. Or maybe he knew I was the only one going here because the staff wouldn't
The Demoness Alpha 94: Slowly Healing
I sighed and remained staring at the ceiling. No matter what I do, I can't sleep. If I only knew this was going to happen I would have been able to bring sleeping pills. I am alone in this huge, unfamiliar room and it's uncomfortable.The room is not scary at all. In fact, the interiors look medieval and it's actually nice. But when I innovate it's really like this. According to the Doctor, it's just like that when you experience trauma. She said it will change eventually, when I'm already fully recovered. But I no longer have hallucinations so why is it still here?I sighed and rose up. Maybe it's also a result of my sleep this afternoon so I'm not sleepy now. A glass of milk will help, perhaps? Right. I will drink milk to sleep. Maybe Sage is asleep now? Or maybe not. Maybe he's entertaining some calls ...I slowly opened the door and looked down the hallway. There was no sign of anyone there. I briefly looked at the other room, where Sage was. My lips protrud
The Demoness Alpha 95: I'll Be the One
"Are you sure about that?"I dropped the wineglass on the counter. I changed position and now addressed him properly. I'm still sitting on the high chair, but this time, my whole body is facing him. My legs are almost touching his. But I didn’t care about that. I want to test myself.I was just thinking to say that I was getting cold. But then, I should try this one. It's about time. So before I became discouraged I spoke again."Can I ask a favor?"His forehead furrowed. He looked through my eyes but I made sure he won't see my inner thoughts."What is it?" he asked gently, it seems like whatever I ask he will give. The wineglass landed as well and gave me full attention. I was even more nervous about what to say."Kiss me." I swallowed hard after I said that. I drained the wine from my glass, thinking that it would ease the embarrassment.His lips parted slightly. His hooded eyes grew darker by the second. When his lips met ag
The Demoness Alpha 96: More Than Satisfaction
Staring at the white ceiling, I couldn’t decide whether to get up or just stay in the room. I clearly remembered what happened last night. The way his lips touched mine ... The way he made me feel the warmth I was longing for many years. The way he controlled himself from going beyond his limits.I close my eyes and sigh.The same reactions. The same feelings. Everyone is coming back. Or maybe it's not right to say come back because it's not really gone. The truth is, it was only buried by pain, concealed by the time. It was caged in a frozen bastille, and now awakened, once again.Now I regret why I didn’t listen to him first. If I only let him speak first, he won't suffer from my wrath for years. I wish he was by my side when I needed a companion.Now, after all I’ve discovered, after all the things I realized, I realized the love I had before was too shallow. I was drowned in my
The Demoness Alpha 97: That Forgotten Gift
"I expected that.""Uh-huh," he drawled lazily like he found the topic very uninteresting."Won't you ask about me?"It was as if my heart was pounding at his weak question. For a moment, even how my heart beats wildly, I felt the urge to face him and watch his expression. I want to caress her face and say how much I want to ask, how much I want to say.But as always, I was driven by fear. Fear of making a mistake. Fear of being hurt again. Fear that the love I think is right will also lead to crying. The fear I don't know if I will ever overcome.But then, like people say, love is a risk. If you want what you've never had, you have to do what you've never done.Should I let the emotions rule me? Would it be worth risking for?"Why didn't you try to talk to me before?" I asked, finally had enough courage.He didn't mo
The Demoness Alpha 98: A Promise of Peace
The plan was very clear. I will be giving the tape on the night of Sage’s birthday celebration. I didn't have the money to buy an expensive gift so when Rose gave me the idea I did. She helped me in it, and I paid for the burning of the tape. The idea of giving it to him was so fulfilling, I still worry.They say, a hard -earned gift is worth more. I held onto that belief, so I was complacent that Sage would like that. I was so ready that night. I rehearsed how I will greet him, how I will greet his family. The idea made me nervous, and at the same time, it felt surreal."How ... how did you get it?" my voice was so weak that I could hardly hear it.He licked his lower lip. Slowly, he closed the distance. He stood in front of me and took the tape. He stared at it and gently traced his fingers to the initials I had written. And the way he held it with so much care, the way he looked at it with those dark eyes, it
The Demoness Alpha 99: Ready to Risk
After dinner, Sage took me to the room. I slept late because I was preoccupied of the things that will happen. I am glad that Lyka and Antonio will finally get caught. That would mean, I'd be safe, and so as Luke. But that would also mean I have to go back to Manila.I don’t know why the cold spread to my stomach at the thought of me going back there. It wasn't a bad idea. In fact, that was the plan, right? I was so anxious to go home then, wasn't I? But thinking of it now ... there'd be no more place as peaceful as El Fuego. No more Sage cooking for me. No more Sage sleeping in the room next to mine. No more him.It didn't feel right.The next morning I realized why that was the last thing Sandro said. The news of Lyka and Antonio's connection to Zeus' death spread like a wildfire. They were also arrested in Cavite. I was shocked after watching the news. I don’t know how to react if only a
The Demoness Alpha 100: Back to the City
We used the chopper to return to Manila. At the helipad of the MG building the chopper landed, and I didn’t expect who were waiting for me there. Luke, Rita and Rose were there. As well as Georgia and Zoren. But what surprised me was to see who was on the side of the five of them."Livius ..." I whispered under my breath."Put this on," Sage said and handed me his black coat.I nodded and put it above my sleeveless dress. She helped me fix my wind-blown hair before we approached the waiters."Kaia!" Luke's voice can surely break walls. He couldn't wait any longer. He met me halfway and hugged me tightly."I'm glad we met again! It's finally all over! I missed you so much, K! You worried me so much too!""You made us all worry, Kaia. I just found out everything that happened yesterday. Why didn't you tell us? Mommy and I could have helped you," Georgia s
