Saga Hiatus Novels & Stories

After hearing my last sentence, Arturo sighed deeply. He said, "Selena, none of what you're saying is possible. Maybe you're just too worried. I've told you—Marinella is actually very safe." The surrounding nurses also covered their mouths and giggled. "Dr. Bianchi is still single. How could she possibly have a daughter? This family member must be suffering from hysteria. Maybe she should go to the psychiatric department." "Single? Impossible!"

ZEKE Stealth. Quiet. Calm. A clear mind and the power that clouds me when I am behind this beautiful piece of metal. Lying here like this on this roof on such a night is really what exhilarates me most. There are no distractions. The building is so high I can barely hear the sounds of the cars passing through in the bright city below. I feel on top of the world. My only concentration is my target three blocks from where I lay in wait. He has been out of the country on business for the past month and waiting for him to return has rendered me impatient for quite some time now.

He blinked, almost surprised I’d noticed. “Yeah.” I nodded. “Are you alright too?” He gave a quick, crooked smile. “Yeah, I am. But at the same time, I’m not.” “What?” I frowned, stepping closer without thinking. “Why?” Sage exhaled, the sound soft in the evening quiet. “You said you’d reach out when you had your response. But how would you respond when we don’t have each other’s active lines?” The words landed simply and painfully. I stared at him, realizing how many times he must have stared at his phone, at an old number that no longer worked.

But I didn't tempt him because he was always away. They canceled their practices and gigs for the past months because Sage is always away and goes to El Nido. They are the same as Luke. I don't know what's in there. My eyes narrowed as I watched his veins, even though I was here in my seat they were clear to me. It's like being soaked in hot water when his veins swell. I was so bitten on my other lower lip while watching that, you add that his fingers were moving. Damn I want to touch his arms.

I cried not accept. Saga laughed with amusement. “However, this isn't Vampire Diaries. How could you take someone else's work and then distribute it.” I looked at the boy confused. I do not feel plagiarized or anything. I shook my head, trying to drive out unimportant thoughts. I tried to be more realistic. “Are you a magician?” Saga laughter bursts out. His body bent as if someone was out of breath. “What are you thinking about?” Saga said, still amused. “You look like you've never see—”

The castle appeared to be quieter without Gideon around. I just found out that Sage is no longer available since he had been busy with tending to his sick mother. I was left with the three silent ones so here I am in my room, lying in bed. So much for not being dead yet. This feels like torture!

Hazel said it out loud catching the attention of Zayden and Ash. "Suga? Who suga?" Ashton asked blankly staring at Hazel. He doesn't know about Tristan being called suga. "Suga! Oh suga! He got a very important work to do, so he just left like that!" Zayden replied while laughing nervously without bothering to look at Ash's pain as he stepped on Ashton's foot to make him quite for a second not wanting to make Hazel to suspect.

River I’d just finished reviewing the last of Silas reports when my phone vibrated on the desk. A message from Amir. Sage is leaving the house. Dressed casually. Alone. I leaned back in my chair, phone still in hand, gaze narrowing as I read the message again. A part of me tensed instinctively. Sage wasn’t the type to wander aimlessly, especially not at night. But he was young. Still nursing the wound Kaiden had left behind. Perhaps he just needed to breathe, to shake off the weight pressing against his ribs.

Heat rushes through me, adrenaline sharp and sudden. “No,” I mutter. “No, no” I try once more, hands shaking now. Same result. Out of service. Something cold coils in my stomach. This isn’t normal. People don’t just disappear. They don’t cut off contact like this without a reason. And Sage, Sage wouldn’t do this unless something was wrong. Would she? My thoughts spiral fast and merciless. What if she is sick? What if something happened to her in that city? What if she needed help and I wasn’t there?

“What do you mean by hiatus?” Leah grabbed her phone and slid it across the table toward me. “Her agency released a statement this afternoon. Apparently, she’s stepping back from all public activities for a year. No performances. No appearances. Nothing.” I stared at the screen. The statement was about her taking time to focus on personal development. For some reason, they made it sound like she was trying to punish herself for the scandal that happened. The comments under the statement didn’t spare her. “She can go on a hiatus and never come back.”
