" What's wrong with her?" I sit on the bed, pulling Sage in my arms." I guess she's having a nightmare." Hades whispers, touching her cheek." Calm down, baby," I whisper, rocking her back and forth.Sage sobs uncontrollably, her eyes were still closed but her body was trembling." It will take a lot of time and patience to calm her down, it works best when you hold her gently and rock her. Don't hold her too tight, it triggers her more." I whispered looking up at Hades as he nods hurriedly as if taking mental notes." Ssshhhh, love. I'm here, no one is gonna hurt you." I whisper, looking down at her troubled face as she sobbed uncontrollably." Can I?" Hades sits on the bed, beside me." Okay, hold her gently. Don't put any pressure on her or she'll panic." I whisper, slowly placing Sage in his hold.Hades has troubles holding her at first but then he quickly copies what I was doing a minute ago and begins to rock her ba-SAGE-" So gorgeous. You look like an angel in this wedding dress, Sage." Elena giggles. With fear gripping my heart, I slowly pulled my eyes up to the mirror in front of me. My reflection dressed in a white beautiful, wedding gown stared back at me. She looked beautiful. I looked beautiful but I'm scared to admit it. I don't want to look pretty because ugly things never get stolen, it's always the pretty ones. " Sage, nothing wrong is going to happen," Josephine whispers, looking at me with sympathy. I hated it. Was I being that pathetic on my wedding day that everyone is being so sympathetic!? Why can't I just act normal? Why is there a thorn continuously piercing my heart!? " I know." A hoarse whisper escaped my throat as I looked back at the mirror. The door clicked open at the moment, Sabrina walked in with a jewelry box in her hand and a grim expression on her face. " Sabrina, don't say anything to her today." Jo
-SAGE-" I love you a lot, Sage but Hades is your future now. As much as I want to carry you down into the hall and make you my bride, I can't because you love him now. You love him, and he loves you. You're perfect in every way, Sage and so is he. And my happiness lies in yours, I guess that's what poets call love." He chuckles, cupping my face, caressing my cheeks with his thumb. " What about us?" I croak out. " Us? I don't know what we have but I'm damn sure, it's stronger than the bond you share with that mob boss." he giggles as I sob. " Now what?" I whisper, looking up at him. " Now, you'll marry the love of your life and begin a fresh new life. He'll stand by your side, through thick and thin, ups and downs and fulfill all his promises unlike me. You'll have two kids, two bratty kids just like you. A girl and a boy, who throw tantrums all day and never get tired of pranking everyone. And then, one day we'll meet again. Our eyes
" I'll miss you." Shawn plants a kiss on my forehead. " I'll miss you, too." I sob, hugging him more tightly. " Are they done? We're getting late." I heard Mrs.Romano groan for the hundredth time. " Take care," Shawn whispers. I nod, stepping back from him with tears pouring down my cheeks. " I love you. Take care." Elliot winks at me. " I love you too." I sob, looking at my best friend. I looked back at my family, Enrique was standing at the very back, looking at me sadly. He didn't hug me like the others, he didn't say goodbye to me like the others, he didn't even congratulate me like the others. I turned towards the black limo, waiting for us to leave. Before getting in the car I turned around and looked back at the house I've spent so many years in. The window of my room on which I sat on many sleepless nights. The garden where I planted flowers and had mini picnics. The playground where I used to play as a
Brother.His brother.Brother.I stumbled back. My sobs got so heavy that my body shook with each sob." Surprised?" Hades smiled, taking a step towards me." D-don't." I point at him." You're such a dumb bitch, Sage. But, you just made it so much easy for me. All I had to do was handle your childish tantrums, make some fake promises and you were already drooling over me." he scoffs, taking another step towards me." Hades." I whimpered.I tripped on my dress, falling on the floor with a thud. My body trembled as I curled against the wall, pe
-HADES-" SAGE." I roared, kicking open the door of my mansion.I got startled for a second, seeing my mother standing right in front of me with rage written across her face. Sofia and Giana were beside her, smiling at me.Leo was beside her, his arm was wrapped around Sage's waist keeping her in place as she kept thrashing in his hold." Mother," I muttered, silently sliding the pistol in my pocket." What did you do to her, Hades?" she glared at me, giving Sage a quick glance.My eyes roamed back to Sage, there was blood all over her tiny figure. Her dress was completely ruined and her hair looked like a nest. She screamed, hitting Leo's hand when she caught me staring at her.Cute little bitch." Let's go inside. Get her, Leo." Mother muttered as she walked inside.Leo pulled Sage up, carrying her inside as she kept screaming. I followed them, closing the door behind me.My eyes were fixed on Sage as I walked in
-HADES-"Are you sure letting her go is a good idea?"I gulped down my glass of champagne, looking up at Sofia." If she does what we tell her to, then it's fair to let her go." I shrug, leaning back on my seat." But what if she tells everyone about what we made her do?" Sofia mumbles, looking at me with wide eyes." She won't. By the time I'll be done with her, she won't even have the courage to speak to her own self properly." I smirk.Leo looks up at me with a frown on his face before he goes back to eating his pizza." What's wrong with you?" I chuckle, yanking a piece of pizza from his plate.
-ENRIQUE-I saw her in my dreams last night . . . again and for that moment, I felt alive which I barely feel these days. She's married! Trust me, I remind myself that fact every second now. It doesn't fucking work. I still love her. My heart beats for her, it always will. Hades probably loves her more than me. Of course he does! I chose Elliot's life over my baby's happiness. Was it a wrong choice? Was saving my brother from death a wrong choice? No, but in front of what my love has suffered, that seems so fucking wrong. But a part of me is glad that she is gone. . . just a tiny part. She is away from my hideous shadow, she'll be happy with Hades now away from all the pain and sufferings. I love her, I fucking do. I may not be your last love, baby, but trust me, you'll always be my first and last. Were we 'right person, wrong timing' or was I just the wrong person? I guess we'll never know. -EnriqueI slowly shu
-HADES-" Sage Martinez is a liar." My detective, Kyst said, looking down at his file." As if that's a secret." I roll my eyes, sipping on my lavender tea.Giana glares at me before she goes back to cutting the apples." What's wrong Giana, darling?" I smirk.My marks from last night were still visible on her cheeks. She needed a reminder." We know she's lying. We have proof that she's lying. Sean is in jail because of her stupid lies and all you do is lock her in the bathroom?" She raises her voice, glaring at me." So what do you want me to do? Rip her head off and ask her ghost to give the testimony?"
