SAGE

“Should we bring you to the hospital, Sage? I’m really worried about you,” Gertrude worried as she patted a wet towel over my forehead.

I’ve been grunting and screaming in pain since Titus and I ended our conversation. Despite that excruciating pain I’ve been feeling right now, I can’t take the risk of going back to Titus before I can find my children.

“No, I’m fine, Gertrude. The doctors can’t do anything about my situation,” I replied in between breaths.

“But you’re burning and in pain. There’s got to be something we can do to ease your pain,” Gertrude insisted.

I forced a smile on my face. “Honestly, the only thing that can stop this pain is if I go back,” I admitted.

“Go back? Go back where?” Robert asked, frowning as he stood behind Gertrude, who was sitting on the edge of my

bed.

“It’s for the best if I don’t involve you in this. You have more than enough help. It will be too much if you’re going to be involved in this mess.”

“Sage, we’re your family now. We’d like to help, Robert insisted.

I’m really moved by their concern, but I couldn’t take the risk of them facing Titus’s wrath. He’s mad at me, and he might use them to hurt me. I couldn’t afford to have them involved in this mess.

“I really appreciate everything you’ve done for me and my children. But please trust me when I say I can handle this,” I assured them.

They both turned to each other with worried look on their faces. When they leaving everything in my hands.

ertrude said.

“Thank you,” I replied before they left. As soon as they were gone I let out a grunt that I had been holding back for quite a while. I was in unbearable pain, but I couldn’t show it to them as it would only make them worried despite the pain seeping through my bones. “Fuck you, Titus!” I cursed out loud.

Speaking of the devil, I heard Titus’s voice over my head. “Why am I was

evident in his voice.

“I told you I’m not going back yet,” I replied.

“Fck!” he cursed, and I could practically feel his frustration through our bond. “You are so goddamn stubborn!”

Then–pain. Excruciating pain.

“Ahh!” I screamed as the leg bracelet constricted tighter, cutting off my circulation. The pressure was unbearable, sending white–hot agony searing through my nerves. I could already see my skin turning a sickening shade of purple.

“You’re going to lose your damn leg if you don’t come back!” Titus roared through our mind link, his fury vibrating through my skull

A bitter laugh bubbled in my throat despite the pain. “I guess you wouldn’t mind having a breeder with one leg, huh?” I shot back sarcastically, clinging desperately to the last thread of hope that maybe, just maybe, he still cared enough to let me go.

That he wouldn’t actually let me suffer like this. That he’d finally release me.
