Shane responded coldly, "Why else? You wanted to stand up for Giselle, so you did this to warn me!"Marcus chuckled. "What good would it do to me to spread rumors about you two? Elle wants to marry you. Don't you think my family would consider that?"Shane was stumped by what he had said. Unless he didn't want Giselle to marry him, he had little reason to do that. However, he didn't quite believe that Marcus had nothing to do with it. Marcus was a cunning man, and his way of doing things was enigmatic. He wouldn't go to the club for no apparent reason and get spotted by Sage. But if Marcus was telling the truth, who else could've planned Ron's retaliation and subsequent escape?"You don't seem surprised that I came to you, and you seem to know about what happened last night," Shane narrowed his eyes and said. Marcus responded calmly, "Because I read the news and figured you would get the wrong idea."I went to the club yesterday to meet a friend. He had to leave, so I followed

Was he here to settle the score? Sage was well aware that she couldn't take on Ian alone. Her drowsiness had almost completely disappeared then. Quietly, she stretched out her hand and intended to ring the bell to call a nurse to drive Ian away. But before she could fully extend her hand, Ian grabbed hold of it. Wasn't he drunk? Why were his movements so precise?"What do you think you're doing?" he asked with a sneer.Perhaps he was drunk. He was speaking slower than usual, and his gaze was more assertive than usual. He looked like someone who was not to be trifled with.Sage certainly wasn't foolish enough to confront him head-on. Hence, she came up with an excuse. "I'm thirsty. I need the nurse's help."Ian stretched out his long hand and brought the cup on the bedside table to her front. "Drink up."Sage didn't dare to struggle since her hand was still being held tightly by him. So, she said softly, "It's cold. I want something hot."A wicked grin crept onto his lips when

Sage panted heavily as she gazed at Ian coldly. "Tell me. Do you want to be on top of me or beneath me?" Ian swiftly stripped off her pants and pressed his hard member against her through his trousers.Sage was mortified by the humiliating position they were in and the lust on his face. She couldn't contain her anger any longer and shouted, "Ian Holcomb, stop pretending to be drunk! You know damn well you can hold your liquor!"He didn't even flinch when he drank with Shane the other night. How could he be this drunk tonight?"Since you won't tell me which position you want to be in, I'll decide for you!" Ian pinned her down mercilessly with one hand and unfastened his belt with the other. Sage noticed the madness and obsession in his eyes. "If you lay a finger on me tonight, I'll despise you for the rest of my life!""Then so be it. After all, you never planned to spend the rest of your life with me anyway!" His eyes glinted coldly as he discarded his belt and closed in on her

Sage and Tiana hadn't expected Ivy to come over. Sage frowned, adjusted her clothes, and said curtly, "No, you can't. You're not welcome here."Ivy didn't seem the least bit offended. She motioned for the caregiver to wheel her into the room anyway and smiled gently as she said, "Mrs. Holcomb, I've been suffering from severe back pain for the past few days, so I couldn't get out of bed to visit you. How're you feeling?"Tiana couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Wow, you've got some nerve. Sage clearly said you weren't welcome here.""Ms. Shekdotter, I heard you got injured because you tried to save Mrs. Holcomb." The caregiver beside Ivy asked softly, "So why aren't they grateful to you? Why are they treating you so poorly?"Ivy felt a little awkward about the caregiver's sudden interjection, but she graciously thanked her. "Could you please step out for a moment? I need to speak with Mrs. Holcomb.""Sage has nothing to say to you. Get out of our sights right this instant!" Tiana co

She had no idea if it was because he didn't sleep well last night or if he was worn out from too much work, but Ian was not as energetic as usual. The madness and passion in his eyes from the previous night had vanished. His gaze was calm and deep again. "Why are you here again? Haven't you done enough last night?" Her gaze remained cold as she stared at him warily. The events of the previous night resurfaced in his mind as he remained silent. Sage's body was supple, and her skin was fair. Under the warm yellow light, she looked like a delicate porcelain doll. He couldn't control his desire. He wanted to have her and mark every inch of her body as his own. Even though she was brought to tears by his advances, she refused to submit to him. Sage glared at him angrily, fueling his desire to dominate her and force her to surrender herself.Ian's Adam's apple unconsciously bobbed, and he said coldly, "You kept provoking me last night. You should've seen it coming, Sage."Sage was as
