That love and pleasure her as if she’s his. She has to get her emotions under control, and fast too she and Bruno only had a one night stand that’s it. She shouldn’t act the way she is now, she’d known this would happen eventually they are worlds a part and can never be. Sage is glad he wants to be in Liam and Logan’s lives it’s his right as their father and she won’t stand in their way, the boys need their father. Bruno helped with bathing and putting the twins to bed, she’d thought he would be completely useless taking care of a child but he’s surprised her the way he’s acting with the twins it’s as if he’s been looking after them since birth, they’ve also taken quickly to Bruno’s presence here not even caring if she was present or not. Sage hopes she won’t lose her boys Bruno has promised he wouldn’t take them away, Sage prays she can trust him.
“Bruno.”His brother said days later coming to join him outside on the patio of his home.”I spoke to Camilla. Is it true?”Hugo asked. He still hasn’t told any of his family members yet only Camilla knows the truth about Liam and Logan. It’s only a matter of time then he’ll set the ball in motion, Logan was recovering well the doctors are impressed with his process and of how well he is doing. He’s a fighter, after all he is a Romero and the Romero’s fight no matter how tough things are they don’t quit. Whatever a Romero wants, a Romero gets. And his sons beautiful mother is one woman he wants badly, he can’t sleep at night anymore whenever he’s in her presence he has to control himself, pretend all is well. Sage is under the impression he will get engage to another woman, she doesn’t know that woman is her, he can already see her breathing fire on him demanding he should leave her alone and that she wants nothing to do with him. He’s a Romero he won’t give up that’s why he has taken care of every detail so that Sage won’t have to say no, he wants her to be his, he wants her all to himself he knows it sounds selfish but he doesn’t care, he’ll do whatever he has to do to make sure she becomes his wife, even if it means using her own brother.
“Yes.”He said, gazing out at the ocean. It’s so beautiful here the second he’d seen this property he had fallen in love with it, one can see the ocean from any angle a beautiful place to raise Liam and Logan, and having Sage as his wife he can already picture making love to her out there on the beach at night when no one would be watching her hair glowing against her fair skin. His hands caressing every inch of her, kissing her until she begs him to make her his having her scream out-…
“Bruno!”Hugo said loudly, he met his eyes.”What’s wrong with you? I’m talking to you.”
“I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you.”
“I can tell. What’s going on. Is it Sage.”
“What does she have to do with this.”
“Come on Bruno.”Hugo said.”I saw how you looked at her. You even told Lana where to get off after Sage had left because of the things she said. You feel something for her. Don’t you. I take it she’s the mother of your twin boys.”
He only nodded.”Why didn’t you tell us when you brought her for dinner. Why keep it a secret.”
“I also found out recently by mistake actually.”He doesn’t think Sage would’ve ever told him the truth if he hadn’t come by that morning. Him forgetting his cell at her apartment and Logan becoming sick while he’d been there was faith right time and place.
“What does that mean?”
“Should I ask Margarita to bring you something.”
“A soda.”Hugo said, a few minutes later she brought it.”Thank you Margarita. Are you ready to talk.”He asked Bruno. He told Hugo everything that’s been going on including about when he’d met Sage for the first time. He never does like to discuss his private life but he trusts Hugo, they are brothers after all.”So what are you planning on doing next. Get half custody.”
“I won’t allow Liam and Logan to grow up in separate homes.”
“Then what are you gonna do. Marry her.”
“I don’t know. Even if I want to marry her, I don’t think she’ll agree so easily.”
“A woman who can resist your charms.”Hugo smiled.”I’m surprised.”
“She’s a cleaner.”He told his brother.
“Does it bother you?”
He shook his head.”No. What she does for a living doesn’t bother me. The fact that I’m wealthy does bother her, she thinks our worlds aren’t meant to collide.”
“Then show her differently.”Hugo said.
“Sage is one stubborn woman, I’ve never met any woman who puts up so much resistance as her. Doesn’t matter what I do she won’t listen to reason.”
“Then you’ll have your work cut out for you.”He knows that but his next plan will work, he knows it will. He’ll wait and bide his time for a while longer. For her he can wait. She’s one woman he’s prepared to go any extend for and he has no idea why, it’s more than just taking her to bed.
Kim looked at her friend, she hates what she’s about to do to Sage especially since Sage has always been here when she needed a friend. She hopes
Bruno knows what he’s doing.”Good you came Kim.”Sage said.”I wanted to talk to you.”So do I Kim thought.
“About what?”
“Your wedding. I don’t think I’ll be able to make it, I wanna be here for Logan I don’t want to leave him alone. I hope you don’t mind.”
“Of course I don’t.”Kim said.”I understand Sage he had surgery and you still a bit worried about him. Any way Bruno already spoke to me and Luca a few days ago he said you and him won’t be able to come, Hugo and Maya will take your place. Don’t worry Sage.”
Bruno spoke to them. When? And why didn’t he tell her.”So you really don’t mind.”
“No. Stop worrying. It’s okay.”
“I’m sorry I kn-….”
“Sage. I said it’s okay. There’s nothing to feel guilty about.”Although I have Kim thought as she stared at her.”I have some bad news Sage and I’m sorry I have to tell you this.”
“Bad news. What are you talking about.”
“I got a call from Bruno’s HR department, they won’t be giving us the contract as I first thought. They found another cleaning company that will take over from us at the end of next month.”
“Oh Kim I’m sorry.”Sage touched her hands.”But why. Did they give you a reason.”Kim hated lying to Sage, there’s nothing as such but Bruno had asked her to trust him whatever he’s doing is for Sage and the boys.
“Not really and I didn’t ask, I was too shocked to think that far.”
“So what now.”Sage asked.”Are you moving back home.”
“I don’t know, I’ll see if I can’t find something else. I have more news I’m gonna have to let some of you go I can’t afford to keep everyone and still pay everyone their normal salary.”
“You don’t have to explain Kim, I understand.”
“I’m sorry Sage I know how tough things has been for you.”
“I’ll be fine Kim. At least you’re honest and I appreciate that. I should thank you for giving me a chance when no one else did.”
“You the best employee I ever had, I only hope I’ll find someone like you again. Will you be okay.”
“I will. I’ll find something.”Or so she hopes if she doesn’t find work then she and the boys will have to move back home. She doesn’t even want to imagine how Bruno will react to the news.
“I’m still gonna need you to work out this month.”Kim said.”And I’ll also pay you for the time you took off.”
“You don’t have to Kim.”
“I want to. Consider it a gift for all your hard work.”
“I’ll think about it.”Sage said.”Can I get you anything else.”
“No I’m fine. How are things between you and Bruno.”
