A Relentless Pursuit for Love

Chapter 22

Sage was unfazed by Julian’s confession. Instead, when he grabbed her hands, she frowned and quickly pulled them back. Trying her best not to be overwhelmed by her disgust for Julian, Sage wiped her face clean of expression and said, “If you knew that Yeva had been up to no good, why had you not reported her to the police?”

Looking flustered, Julian quickly defended himself. “She tricked me with her acting. I had really thought that you had fallen off a cliff. You don’t know how devastated I was when I heard of your “death”. I had even been diagnosed with depression and had to go for therapy. It was then that Yeva had taken advantage of the situation. She had come to me when I was miserable and lonely. She had even tricked me into sleeping with her,”

Before he could finish his sentence, the timer rang, startling him.

Sage reached for her phone and tumed off the alarm before saying, “Time’s up, you can go now.”

Julian was stupefied.

He did not expect Sage to be unaffected by his explanation and confession that he had spent two nights coming up with. He had thought that Sage would have immediately forgiven him and that she would have gone running into his arms as she cried. She would have been touched. Julian had thought that he would be able to have Sage all to himself.

What was going on? Where had things gone wrong?

“Sage!” cried Julian as he grabbed her hands in panic. “Don’t you believe me? I swear I’m telling you the truth!”

Sage cold shook off his hands. His slightest touch was enough to make her skin crawl, and Sage had the urge to run him over with a truck.

She saved the recording on her phone, before tuming to him with a look of disdain and disgust.

“You’ve even slept with her. So, don’t show me your face. I don’t want an eyesore. But I must say, you and Yeva are a match made in heaven. I hope you two stay sweet and happy together.”
