Masuk“Kaid, isn’t this too much? I wasn’t planning on getting too many things.” I couldn’t help but complain for the umpteenth time. I had thought he was joking around when he suddenly said he was going to accompany me. And true to his words, he came back home to pick me up. It was meant to be a simple mall visit, since I had been cooped up in the house for too long, I wanted to do something refreshing and had decided on shopping on a whim. But here we were with shopping bags that might not even fit into the trunk of the car, and Kaid wasn’t done. He insisted on my modelling the outfit for him, and I couldn’t help but secretly enjoy it. “Nothing’s too much for you, Sage,” He murmured, his eyes trailing the emerald bandage short dress I was putting on. “You look hot in this,” He added, his voice dangerously low. A small smile tugged on my lips as I caught the gleam in his eye. “I think I like it too,” I turned around to have a look at my back view in the mirror, and noticed Kaid walk tow
The moment I got to the lobby, I felt all eyes on me. They looked judgemental and they all glared at me like a villain. The ground floor lobby was quite huge and it was quite a walk to the entrance. But the walk this time was longer, each step laced with pain as the employees and staff in Greyson looked at me with contempt. “The homewrecker is leaving,” One of them spoke. Their words cutting through me like knives. “Some women are so shameless. They would rather ruin another woman’s happiness than build theirs,” Another person cut in. Their whispers drifted over to me as I walked out. I refused to work hurriedly to avoid been subjected to more mockery. On a normal day, they couldn’t even speak to me. What gave them the right to talk to me this way? Did they know who the real homewrecker was? It was clearly Sage, not me, I huffed. She was the one who came between Kaid and me. “She must think she’s all that. Mr. Greyson is busy keeping his wife company these days and doesn’t have tim
The morning sickness hit harder than I expected. I was always too tired and preferred sleep to anything else. The doctor had told me it was like this for some, but after the first trimester, I would be fine. So, I decided to hold on before telling Kaid. Partly because he’s been unreachable, and I’ve seen Sage a few times in the blogs caught by some random paparazzi, and those times, she looked so peaceful and calm as if nothing happening could faze her.Sage was someone who couldn’t stand hurt or pain, and most especially, she had eyes that had her away every time, so seeing her look so calm, almost peaceful, sent a wave of jealousy and bitter resentment. But that was not all, I had decided then that she could enjoy a few weeks of peace until I showed up with my bomb.“I can't wait to see your face, Sage.” A slow smile crept on my lips. I was just chewing some grapes when the TV channel announced the comeback of Greyson Corp with pictures of Kaid looking so sharp and handsome, ev
“Are you serious? Let me see,” Sage’s excited gasp filled my ears, making me smile. I had just told her that we had successfully resumed operations and gotten our first contract since the storm. It’s been two months of consistency, of blood, late nights, calls, meetings, and I have traveled abroad at least thrice during the period to get in with big shots to invest in Greyson Corp. It was the only way to bring back the spark and start swaying minds about the company and the possibility of bouncing back.Sage and I had been growing strong, I think. She came to me for things without me asking. And I was still getting to know her better and understanding her thought process. Sage is a softie, and every time, she surprised me with the things she did, especially the little things. She had made it a habit to always bring me tea whenever I was in my study, and had replaced all my cigarettes with mint, so I was prohibited from smoking. She also placed a tracking app on our phones so we could
“You’re lost in thoughts again. What are you thinking of? Tell me,” Kaid’s fussy voice reached my ears. I cleared my throat, looking slightly embarrassed for drifting off again.“It’s nothing,” I responded in a small tone. His eyes narrows at me, telling me he can see through my lie but I don’t make any move to tell him what I’m really thinking. We were seated by the fire pit. He was with his laptop and I had held one of my books but I wasn’t paying attention. And it was obvious why. The sole cause of my thoughts was right in front of me.I mean, it was easier to deal with the cold ice Kaid, not this emotional available, in a sort of way guy. I didn’t know how to deal with the Kaid who insisted on rubbing my feet with the pain relief ointments day and night or the Kaid who ensured I used the gym facility in the penthouse to build up my strength. I couldn’t understand the Kaid who had become a personal trainer, a cook, he even took the role of Loren, bringing me my food and tea, and we
Excitement hummed in my veins as I watched the rest of the Greyson Corp shares get displayed on the exchange windows for sale. I didn’t take much to know that Vivia had sold them off. The next thing on the list was to build Greyson Corp back while monitoring Vivian.I couldn’t wait to tell Sage the good news.While driving past, I noticed a flower shop along the road and decided to get her some flowers, hoping she would love them. Soon, I arrived at my penthouse. As soon as I got to the front of the house, I jumped out of the car with the flower in hand and headed straight for the apartment with a smile on my face. Sage wasn’t in the living room, so I went straight to the room, but surprisingly, she wasn't there. This was unlike her. I still had the flower in my hand, so I decided to check the other rooms. That was when I saw Loren. Her face lit up the moment she saw me.“Welcome back, Mr. Greyson,” She beamed, clasping her hands in front of her white apron.“Where is my wife?”“Mrs G
