Chapter 212

"What do you want from me, Jace?” Sage got all the staff out from backstage and started leveragingwith Jace as soon as they got in. She took out her phone and showed him all the messages sent inby his family members and said, “Isn't it enough that you're here to keep me on my toes? Must youinvolve everyone else in your family?” Jace looked up at her and said calmly, “I have no means tokeep you on your toes, or to disturb you... I just want to help you...” “Help? So now you think I needhelp?” Sage scoffed and said, “Mr. Yuriel, maybe I wasn't clear earlier when I said it, and youmisunderstood.

My whole life has been smooth sailing with my parent's love andbrothers pampering me. They have never let me

down. I wasn't even too affected by my kidnapping and I almost died that time. The biggestwindstorm of my life was meeting you.” Jace walked out of Norah Jewelry with a heavy heart andeven heavier footsteps, frozen like a robot out of battery.

There were no stars in the skies tonight. The entire world darkened.

Zayne followed behind his boss, worrying about his mental state. He rarely saw Jace in such asorrowful mood. Jace was always full of confidence and optimism. He wasn't even this sad when hebroke up with Sienna at their wedding. Jace’s phone rang. It was from Yoel.
