Be my sugar daddy, Mr. Billionaire のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

Sage's POV I swung my head to the side and my eyes locked onto Diego's. The soft glow of the room's chandeliers cast a warm light on his face, accentuating his sharp features. I felt a flutter in my chest as our eyes held, the air thick with tension. I caught a hint of pride swirling in his gaze, mixed with surprise. A faint smile played on his lips. He didn't think I had only a single plan in mind, did he? I'd never laid my full trust in Freeman from the beginning. Before we left the house, the text I received from Violet was to confirm that he had never made it to the airport. Yes, I had been angry when we got here, but it was because he chose to betray me after everything my father had done for him. He was such an ungrateful man. Diego held my hand, taking it up to his lips and I felt a shiver run down my spine as he placed a firm, chaste kiss on my knuckles. My cheeks flushed, and I looked away, trying to compose myself. "Can I guess who you've laid your cards on?" He asked

Chapter 53 Diego's POV The evening had been going great from the moment Sage decided to break her plans to me about the property which was now within her grasp. But now, faced with the people who had betrayed me years ago, the galore of the night had been ruined. My eyes darted between my cousin and his fiancée, lingering longer on her. Hailey. She was the one. Now with brown hair, I remembered that she was a dye freak. I'd never gotten to see her authentic self, and I didn't care since she was happy doing whatever she wanted. I once loved her and would do anything for her. A brief, stabbing pain pierced my chest as memories of our past surfaced. But it was momentary, and I was surprised by how little I felt. The thought of her no longer had the power to cause me pain. Rather, a sense of disgust towards her was what reigned in my mind. She had been introduced by Dean as his fiancée, but since she had no dignity to save herself, she chose to openly leer at me. I smirked, recalling

Chapter 55 Sage's POV "Kian will drive you home, I need to check on some things at the office" Diego had said to me, holding the door to the car open with his head slightly poking in. We just arrived from Berlin. The flight had lasted for roughly six hours. It was the longest six hours of my life. I'd stayed in my seat throughout the flight and fought the urge to even look at him even when I panicked. He watched me and only offered his hand. I felt a mix of emotions as I wondered why he didn't hold me in his arms. This was the most words he'd spoken to me since our conversation last night. Was he avoiding me, now? "Okay" I nodded, not casting him a glance and he closed the door. He didn't look back as he walked to the other car behind. ..... When I woke up the next morning, I reached behind me out of instinct to check if Diego was there. My heart dropped when I realized that he was wasn't and I begrudgingly sat up and ruffled my hair. I'm so stupid. Taking a deep breath, I

Chapter 57 Diego's POV "Sir, we have been negligent and didn't see this coming" The head of HR, Troy muttered with his head bowed slightly as he spoke, "The team and I are willing to take any punishment" I've always known Troy to be a hardworking and dedicated man which was the reason why when I became the CEO, he was made the head of one of the most important departments. He still is as dedicated as before, but now, his words are making my mood worse. I was furious and almost boiling over with rage. What had happened wasn't his or his team's fault and the sooner he left my sight, the better it was for him. "Mr. Batcher, you may leave" Mark stepped in quickly as though he could sense the turmoil in my mind. Troy turned and left immediately with my CFO, Raphael, trailing after him. He seemed to have a lot to say but he knew better. After a few minutes of sitting in silence with white noise humming in my mind, I rose from my chair and stormed out of the conference room. Mark follow

Chapter 59Sage's POVI had been working for so long and trying to stay awake for no apparent reason at all. I could get these done at work tomorrow but I was still here. My eyes darted to the wall clock again for the umpteenth time and my chest stung when I saw how late it was.Diego wasn't home yet.I didn't want to admit but I was going through all this trouble because I was waiting for him to come home. However, it seemed like he wasn't going to and the realization hurt more than I imagined.Getting up from the couch, I cursed as I limped towards the kitchen to refill the empty jug. Goodness, my ankle hurt like hell. I don't remember the last time, I felt such crude pain. Internally, I hauled curses at Theodore as it was his fault that I was in this condition.Bastard!I refilled the jug and as I made my way out of the kitchen and dining area, I heard the door gently open and when I saw Diego's frame step in, my heart skipped a beat. I was pleased that he was back, however, wary o
