Semua Bab A Farewell After Being Reborn: Bab 261 - Bab 270

"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

"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

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,

"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

"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
