Delton stayed until the next morning. I couldn't use the cellphone even though he told me to call whoever I wanted to call. I am afraid that he will suddenly grab the cellphone and hide it again.I'm not used to being nervous about what Delton is going to do. I'm more used to him being nervous about me."I don't want to leave you here all alone, but I need to, Savvy. Just one thing I want you to do—call me from time to time."That's what he said while adjusting his necktie. I sat lazily on the edge of the bed and raised an eyebrow.That's what he said while adjusting his necktie. I sat lazily on the edge of the bed and raised an eyebrow."You're an attorney. You must be busy. Also, take care of Daddy's problems," I said sharply.His eyebrows met. He stopped what he was doing. He took a step closer to me and bent slightly to kiss my lips. I didn't move even when his lips touched mine. He lasted for ten seconds, and when he realized that I had no intention of kissing him back, he was th

Two red lines. Two fucking red lines.I closed my eyes again and thought I had just missed it, but I didn't. When I woke up, I could still see two red lines. Two red lines that I know will change my life.Tears began to well up in my eyes as I walked out of the bathroom with a heavy shoulder. My eyes immediately looked for the trash can on the side, and I immediately threw the kit there. I felt terrified that I could not be near it.The sound of the cellphone added to my headache. It never stops ringing. It will die for a while, but be alive again and echo around the house."Why is this happening? My parents' problem is not yet over, but then you added more, Sage," I talked to myself.I sniffed and almost hurt myself out if the cellphone didn't ring again. I marched to the bed and violently took it, but the call went to missed calls. My eyes almost widened after seeing that Delton and Nanny Nenita had a lot of missed calls. They've called me almost a hundred times, and that made me ne

There are no words to express my feelings. It seems like my whole world has stopped and my heart doesn't even want to process what I just heard, but it keeps trying to squeeze into my mind.Delton is Daxton?I was out of breath and my lips parted.How come my husband also wants to put my parents in jail?I gasped for breath and clutched my chest from the pain. The pain I feel from there is tripled."Miss Sage, are you all right?" Andres asked with concern.I couldn't speak and just felt the tear drop on my cheek.I smiled brightly. Maybe the saying "love your enemies" is true.Is that why he doesn't want to let me go? Is that why he was so strict and almost didn't want me to plead with my parents?I closed my eyes tightly because of the sudden headache. Weak and can't quite believe this is all happening.The pain in my heart hasn't gone away yet when I think about what happened to Dad."Miss Sage, if you can't live with your husband anymore.... I'm just right here," his voice weakened

I hurriedly went to the comfort room and temporarily hid there. I didn't know that Delton would be able to trace me as fast as lightning. Here's his sidekick, Ian, who is also here at the airport."What now, Sage?" I asked myself in confusion.I closed my eyes tightly, thinking of the right thing to do. It's impossible for Ian to not find me here. Maybe he even called some comrades.I licked my thumb and stared at the sink mirror. I stared at myself for a long time after coming up with an idea.I wasted no time and immediately turned my cellphone back on. I even booked a ticket to another airport in a hurry so that Delton would think that was where I was going and was about to leave. After that, I immediately turned off the cellphone again. It was impossible for him to ignore the bank's notification.Only two things can happen. Maybe Ian will move to another airport or maybe Delton will send someone else there. Anything else needs to be cautious. That's why I cautiously left the comfo

"The mansion was never theirs." That repeated itself several times in my mind, and I was really weak with that thought.All this time? The mansion is not ours. But how could that have happened?Does that mean the mansion belongs to Delton? He has not been satisfied with the company that he even took over the mansion!I feel betrayed. I've lived there since I grew up, so how come the mansion isn't ours?I closed my eyes in annoyance, and Delton's voice played in my mind again.His voice was different. There was a mixture of anger and longing. But do I really need to believe that? He's probably angry that I ran away, but he won't be sad. I wouldn't be surprised if he is now investigating Miss Nenita as well."Your father is such an asshole, Baby," I whispered softly while caressing my flat stomach.I shook my head after remembering what he said, "LIVE PEACEFULLY IN MY HOUSE."I wanted to answer this earlier and criticize it. I'm shocked that he can say that when all he gave me was trou
