Chapter 181

Ian, who had been busy in the study, walked in after she showered and finished her skincare routine. Sage didn't want to talk to him, so she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.The sound of running water could be heard from the bathroom. Shortly after, it stopped and Ian got into the bed.Sage lay perfectly still, attempting to make herself invisible. But the next thing she knew, the covers were being pulled off her. Before she could react, Ian got on top of her."What the hell are you doing?" she asked angrily, opening her eyes.His arms were propped up on either side of Sage, and his ink-black eyes were unreadable. "Didn't you resent me for not fulfilling my duties as a husband? I'm making it up to you now.""Ian Holcomb, are you out of your mind?" Sage pushed him, but he wouldn't budge.All of a sudden, she remembered the self-defense techniques Michael had taught her. When Ian showed no signs of backing away and looked like he was going to force himself on her, Sage r

Her brows knitted together when she noticed the way the sender had addressed her despite the unsaved number. Sage had a fairly good idea who the sender was."Sage, I'm at Above & Beyond. I ordered your favorite cocktail. I miss our nights out drinking together." Sure enough, it was Delilah. Sage assumed she would stop bothering her after their last gathering. Yet, here she was, reaching out to her again. There was no way she actually cared about their friendship.Above & Beyond was one of the most luxurious bars in Haldon. Delilah often held parties there to pretend that she was rolling in it. However, Sage was always the one who had to foot the bill. Could it be that she had one too many drinks and suddenly remembered her "ATM"? "Sage, you said you'd never be mad at me. You also said you'd give me a chance even if you were. Why did you go back on your word?" She did say that. Back then, she truly regarded Delilah as her best friend. She was naive to think that their friendship

Delilah kept apologizing to Sage and seeking reconciliation. She also promised to always consider her feelings and opinions in the future.Sage wasn't in the mood to deal with Delilah, so she made up a few excuses and hung up on her. Feeling uneasy, she sent a message to her grandfather, asking him to warn her uncle not to be overly ambitious.Exhaustion swept over her after she took care of these things. So, she laid back on her bed and soon drifted off to sleep on the newly changed bedding.Sage was fast asleep when she felt something heavy on her waist. She tried to shake it off, but it wouldn't budge. When she opened her eyes, she noticed that Ian had slipped back into the room. His arm was resting on her waist, and she was facing him with her head nestled against his shoulder. The first thing that came into view was his sharp jawline.Even though both of them were in their own blankets, she still felt uncomfortable being in such an intimate position. Hence, she abruptly push

"Sage Joyner, did you just call me stupid?" Ian couldn't help but lose his temper because of her constant nitpicking."Are you sure you're not stupid? After all, you can't even handle such a simple task," Sage said.It seemed like the old her had thought of Ian as overly perfect and capable. If she had discovered his clumsiness earlier, she might not have liked him as much.He snatched the rolling pin back from her when he noticed her shaking her head and sighing again. He ordered, "Stay out of it! I'll do it!"Sage rolled her eyes. Ian was still as competitive as ever. Ian was the kind of person who couldn't handle minor setbacks."Fine. I'll be waiting for your results then." Sage removed her apron. "Do you need me to tie it for you too?"Ian looked at him coldly to express his disdain. However, Sage didn't push it. Instead, she told him that since Wanda wasn't home, if he soiled his clothes he'd have to wash them himself. Then, she folded her hands, leaned back, and watched as

His hand roamed across her supple back. Her skin was smooth and delicate as it was the finest, most lustrous aventurine. Ian felt the flames of desire inside him grow stronger with each passing second. Initially, he wanted to punish her, but he couldn't restrain his desires any longer. His hand slid from her back to her chest.Sage squirmed and desperately tried to avoid his hand. However, Ian's strength was astonishing, and she couldn't use any of her boxing or kickboxing techniques in this position.Sage was no match for Ian, so she had no choice but to endure the discomfort and press her body against his chest. Even though this brought them closer together, she managed to avoid his wandering hands.His kiss softened just a touch, probably because he sensed her submission. Sage seized the opportunity and bit down hard on his lips. Ian let out a muffled groan in pain.She expected him to flip out and push her away. But to her surprise, he seemed aroused by the unexpected act. In

Sage wondered why Linda was in such a good mood despite the savory news. After hanging up the phone, she looked at the messy kitchen and immediately arranged for a cleaner to come and take care of it. It was such a shame that Wanda was off today.A woman who treated herself as a housekeeper as well would only end up with endless chores. Sage couldn't be bothered to be a virtuous wife who did all the work herself. She would rather take a nice bath and wash away the stench of that filthy man.…Meanwhile, Ian received a video call from his grandmother while he was in the study."Ian, what happened to your lips? It looks like it's bleeding," Linda asked, concerned.Ian wiped away the blood and replied perfunctorily, "It's nothing. I just accidentally bit it."However, Linda smiled knowingly when she heard that. "Sage bit you, didn't she?"Ian narrowed his eyes when he thought of what had happened earlier. Sage had bitten both his lips and his tongue. He had just checked. She had

Sage was perplexed. "What are you on about? I just sent you some rough information.""Cut the act," he teased. "Ian seems to be treating you well. He doesn't look like he's going to dump you.""Mr. Morrison, could you just get to the point?"Shane crossed his legs and said lazily, "I just got word that Professor Braun has decided that you'll be in charge of their drug promotion and distribution."Sage was stunned. "How's that possible? Are you sure?"She had just met with Collin yesterday, and he clearly wanted to work with Holcomb Corporation. Besides, Ivy also went to negotiate with them. How could he have decided to hand the project over to her after just one day?Shane snorted. "My sources are never wrong. Either Ian cares a lot about you, or he's giving you this as compensation because he's going to dump you."Sage couldn't be bothered to respond. Instead, she asked, "How's the thing I asked you to do?" She realized that they would need to expedite the matter if Collin real

He frowned when he heard that. Ivy was usually graceful and composed. Why was she so emotional today?"How should I know?" Ian retorted.Ivy was green with jealousy when she noticed his indifference and the wound on his lip. However, she simply started weeping."Ian, do you remember when my mother was seriously ill? I was a wreck, and I practically begged for someone to develop a drug to cure her illness. At the time, you consoled me and said if there were such a miracle drug, you'd definitely buy it for me." Her eyes dimmed. "Even though the drug developed by Professor Braun isn't the cure to my mother's illness, I still want to bring it to the market to fill the void in my heart."It dawned on Ian that Ivy's insistence on getting this project stemmed from her mother. Even though he couldn't remember much about what had happened when they were young, he did recall Ivy grieving for a long time after her mother passed away."Ian, Sage doesn't necessarily need this project. You co

"Forget it. Something came up," she said coolly."What the hell happened?" Henry fumed. "Didn't you say that he adored his granddaughter the most? He'd hand over the distribution rights without a fuss and agree to cancel the investment deal with Holcomb Corporation as long as we threatened him a little."Her expression darkened. "This matter is already set in stone. It can't be changed. If we make another move, we'll arouse suspicion from others. All we can do is switch to another project.""Well, you'd better hurry up and find one! I need to prove my worth with a successful career, or Layla won't give me the time of day!""Didn't you brag about how skilled you are with women? I thought you said no woman could resist your charm. It's been days, and you've made zero progress. Yet, here you are, making demands. Do you think I'm a fool?" she sneered as she listened to his demands."Of course not! I just need to work on a project to help you achieve your goals. Women these days have b

Sage couldn't help but remind him, "Mr. Morrison, I'm the one who's divorcing Ian, not the other way around.""Aren't you giving up on him because he doesn't love you back?" Shane asked mercilessly. "Sure, you might see yourself as ' moving on', but let's face it. It's no different from being dumped by him."Sage was rendered speechless. …In the evening, Tiana, the busy bee, finally had some time to spare. "Sage, I heard about this awesome new bar. Let's go get a drink, and you can perform your special drum solo for me!"Tiana added before Sage could respond, "You promised me, so you can't go back on your word now!"Sage agreed reluctantly. "Sure thing. It's just a drum solo."The girls met up at the bar. The first floor was a large open hall with some seating scattered around, while the second floor had private booths. There was a massive stage in front of the entrance on the first floor. When they entered, someone was performing on it, adding an electric air to the atmospher
