Chapter 261

"Ouch!" The subordinate howled in pain as he held his head. Sage seized the chance to sprint out of the abandoned house."That filthy bitch! Catch her!" Benjamin, who had pulled himself together, yelled out in pain and resentment. His subordinate immediately ran after Sage.Sage dared not look back as footsteps closed in on her. She ran as fast as she could into a lonely and dark forest. There were no lights apart from the dim moonlight.Sage pushed through despite her fear and ran toward the mountain path. The winding path felt surreal under her feet as dizziness crept up on her. She didn't manage to make it far before Benjamin's subordinate grabbed her by her collar."Let's see what you can do now!" Panting hard, the man dragged her back to the abandoned house.Sage felt her senses dulling, perhaps due to the drug. Clinging onto the last shreds of rationality, she resolved not to be hauled back to the house where she'd be subjected to Benjamin's whims.She bit her tongue to kee

Chapter 262

Sage had clearly gone through a lot of suffering and ingested some illegal drugs.Ian suppressed the murderous feeling rising within him. He resisted the urge to harm Benjamin right there and then. The audacity of him to even lay a finger on Sage!"Mr. Holcomb, Benjamin Xenith has disappeared!" Terry reported.Ian hissed, "Send our men after him! We'll capture him no matter what it takes!" Sage, visibly shaken, sought solace in Ian's embrace."Mr. Holcomb, leave this to me. Please send Mrs. Holcomb to the hospital now," Terry suggested.Without wasting any time, Ian picked up a disoriented Sage and placed her in the car. He rushed her to the nearest hospital. Fortunately, the doctor's assessment revealed that she suffered no injuries except for the slap mark on her face and some rope abrasions on her wrists. However, she very likely ingested some kind of hallucinogen, judging from the state of her.The doctor stated, "It's not advisable to get her stomach pumped. That'll only m

"I don't want to get a divorce!" Tears streamed down her cheeks as she shook her head vigorously. "Ian, you know I didn't do it, so why do you want a divorce…"Ian fell silent. So, all she heard was the word "divorce". He thought about her determined demeanor and her excitement when she got her hands on the divorce papers in the office the other day, and he couldn't help but cup her face and silence her punitively. "You're the one who wants to get a divorce!"His words still didn't register with Sage as she touched her lips and gasped bashfully, "I- Ian, you kissed me! You actually kissed me! Do you not hate me anymore?""When did I ever say I hated you?""Yay!" Sage paid no heed to what he had said. Blushing, she mustered up her courage and kissed him back. "I'm so happy, Ian!"Sage wouldn't have done this if she was sober. After all, she always got angry when he kissed her in the past. She even slapped him in the face once. Yet, she was excited by his touch and even took the ini

Chapter 264

The unfamiliar yet fervent kiss made her shy and excited at the same time. Ian rubbed her skin gently, sending shivers down her spine. Sage arched her back in response, allowing him easier access.That night passed in a whirlwind of passion. Sage was a lovesick woman who was lost in her fantasies and convinced that she had finally won her lover's heart. In contrast, Ian, who used to be composed and restrained, was now tirelessly indulging himself in wild abandon. Neither understood why the other had changed all of a sudden, but neither cared to dwell on it. The couple clung to each other fervently, entwined passionately. It was as if they were determined to unleash all of their passion that night. Unlike the cool night air outside, the room was hot and stuffy. The passion was so intense that even the moon blushed and hid behind the clouds.…The next day, Sage woke up parched. Instinctively, she reached out to grab a glass of water from the bedside table but found nothing. She a

Sage was aware that the drug Benjamin had given her had a strong hallucinogenic effect. She heard from Tiana that the drug could cause hallucinations, especially if the person had a strong fixation.Even though she couldn't remember how she got from the hospital to the hotel, she was vaguely aware that she was dreaming. Sage dreamt that she was still in the psychiatric hospital, waiting for Ian to uncover the truth about the arson. In her dream, he found out the truth and came to see her. He held her and told her he would like her. Sage was so excited that she disregarded her inhibitions and kissed Ian. Then, she expressed her desire to take their relationship to the next step. In her previous life, she was obsessed with this, and with Ian. Hence, everything that happened last night was the result of her previous life's hopes and dreams.If it had been just a regular aphrodisiac, she might have desired him physically, but she would've rejected and resisted him mentally. However,

"Okay." Sage was relieved. Thank goodness she didn't make them worry. "Could you have someone bring me a change of clothes please? I'll take a quick shower before we head to the station to give our statements.""Don't you have anything else to say about what happened last night?" Ian couldn't help but ask when he noticed how calm and collected she was after her initial embarrassment. "What else am I supposed to say?" she asked. "Benjamin is behind bars, and Grandpa and Grandma are none the wiser. Isn't that good news?""So all this time you've been kicking up a fuss and insisting on divorce because I haven't consummated our marriage?" he asked lowly.Sage sneered as she realized that was what he wanted to talk about. "You're reading too much into it. Last night was just an accident. I won't hold you accountable for taking advantage of me either. After all, you saved me, so I suppose we're even now. "Let's go to the court tomorrow once Grandma's birthday celebration is over and g

"Get the hell out of here!" Sage snapped.Ian couldn't tear his gaze away from her flushed face and the tantalizingly pale skin beneath the towel. Her words didn't anger him. Instead, it made him think about what happened last night. Ian was consumed by desire when she wrapped her arms around him bashfully last night, her tender bosom swaying before his eyes. He relentlessly tormented her until she begged for mercy…Sage noticed his breathing getting heavier as he stared at her legs. Furious, she kicked him and yelled, "I told you to get out!"Her attempt to kick Ian fell short as he swiftly caught her leg. Her thighs were completely exposed as she was only wrapped in a towel, and her foot was being held by Ian. She was in an incredibly compromising position. Her face turned crimson as she yelled, "Let go of me!"He didn't want to let go, but there were more pressing matters to attend to that day, and Sage's body couldn't take any more "rough handling". Hence, he suppressed his d

There were red marks on her wrist from being tied up by ropes last night, although they had faded a lot overnight. Then, she suddenly remembered she had caught a whiff of this scent when she was taking a shower just now. Had Ian used the same ointment on her wrist last night?"The hospital's right next door. If you're feeling unwell or are in severe pain, we can head there and get you treated first," Ian offered. Sage felt her cheeks heat up again. Even though he wasn't specific, both of them understood what he meant.Frankly, she did feel a little swollen and uncomfortable, and it was a little painful to walk. But she didn't have the nerve to go to the hospital for something like that."I'm perfectly fine!" Sage exclaimed before swinging the door open and walking out. Ian reached out, wrapped his arm around her waist, and led her out of the hotel when he noticed her awkward gait. Terry was already waiting for them in the parking lot. He lowered his head when he noticed the hi

"Nothing's wrong. I just want to get some medicine.""What kind of medication do you need? Let Terry get it and deliver it to the estate."Her cheeks burned as she cleared her throat. "It's fine. I'll go get it myself."Ian could roughly guess what she wanted from her reaction. His gaze darkened as he said lowly, "There were condoms in the hotel room."Sage realized he had taken precautions and was relieved. She couldn't risk another accident after what happened the night before.His irritation returned as he noticed Sage visibly relaxed. "Didn't you hint to me before that you wanted to have children with me?""People's desires change over time. Let's not dwell on the past," she responded coolly. Ian was at a loss for words.Then, the couple arrived at Solaris Estate. Sage wanted to open the door and get out, but Ian insisted that she stay put. He then opened her door and carried her out of the car."What do you think you're doing?" Sage was surprised."You're too slow," he re

Chapter 270

Sage looked up and noticed Leo approaching them. Sage was aware that Leo wasn't fond of her, so she pushed Ian away, straightened up, and greeted him politely, "Good afternoon, Father."Leo didn't acknowledge her and scowled at Ian. "Ian, there are so many elders here. This is not the time or place for this.""Leo, this is just how young couples are. It's no big deal!" Ian's aunt spoke up before Ian could respond."Even so, that is so unruly of you! What happened to all those etiquette lessons you had?" Leo chided. Ian frowned. "There's no rule of etiquette that says you can't hug your wife.""Ian Holcomb!" Leo's face flushed with anger. "Oh, come on, Leo. It's supposed to be a joyous occasion. There's no need to get all worked up. Let's just talk this out calmly." She then smacked her head and said, "The maid brewed me some coffee. I'll go check if it's ready!"Sage also planned to excuse herself after Ian's aunt left. But before she could, a gentle voice came from behind. "M
