“What’s wrong with him?”He asked worriedly.
“Senora took him to the doctor this morning he has an ear infection, nothing serious some medication was prescribed for him, I thought she had went to buy it but she’s been gone for so long and it’s unlike the senora to leave the boys for so long. I hope nothing bad has happened to her.”He can hear Margarita’s concern and that worried him further, Sage won’t just leave for so long and leave their sons alone something must be wrong.”I’ll go see if she isn’t at her friend’s house. Call me if she comes home.”On his way over to Kim’s he called her but her phone rings until it takes him straight to voice mail. Kim told him she hasn’t seen or spoken to her since their yoga session last night and nothing was wrong with Sage. His concerns grew, he checked on the tracking device he’d had installed in her wrist watch it showed she was at Hugo’s place.
Sage woke to find herself in bed, slowly she sat upright her head was heavy and she was confused, dazed. She glanced around her and saw she was in a room who’s room she doesn’t know, she groaned her head was pounding. She swung her feet of the bed and saw she was naked, she was only wearing her bra and panty, how on earth did she get undressed and where are her clothes. How did she end up here the last thing she remembers was having tea and waiting for Carmen, then how… Her gaze landed on the picture above the wall that was behind her, it’s a photo of Maya and Hugo this couldn’t possibly be their room. Could it. Her head was throbbing like hell even processing one thought hurts she has to get dressed and get out of this room before the owners come home and find her here, how will she explain herself when she doesn’t even know how she got here. Her clothes are strewn all over the floor and there were men clothing too. What is going on here? She heard a shower running and at the same time her cell rang, who was in there she wondered answering Bruno’s call.”Sage. Thank god you answered.”She heard him say. “Are you okay?”
“Yes, I’m fine. What’s wrong you sound worried.”
“I got worried because you weren’t answering my calls. Where are you?”
“At.. at home.”She lied, she heard a door open and saw Hugo coming out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around his waist. He froze when he saw
her, the confusion clear in his eyes, he wasn’t the only one even she is confused as to how she got here. She quickly covered herself with the sheet on the bed, her clothes are still on the floor if anyone can walk in now they would look like two lovers who’d just had a fun time rolling around in bed.
“Sage..?”Bruno said snapping her back to the present.
“I’m still here.”She answered.
“Where are you?”He asked again.
“I told you Bruno I’m at home. Where else can I be.”I’m sorry for lying to you my love she thought.”Is something wrong?”
Why was Sage lying to him Bruno asked himself, she knows how he hates lies yet she’s lying to him now.”You’re lying to me. Why?”
“I’m not lying to you.”The line went quiet, Sage quickly wore her jean.”Bruno.?”
“I’ve gotta go.”He said, the line went dead.
“Sage. What are doing in my room?”Hugo asked.”And why are my clothes lying all over the floor.”
“Your guess is as good as mine. Last thing I remember was having tea downstairs and passing out when I woke again it was to find myself naked in your bed.”She searched for her top and shoes.”I need to get out of here before someone comes in here and come up their own wrong conclusion which will lead to unwanted trouble.”Her one shoe was by his feet she rushed over there to fetch it but lost her balance, luckily Hugo caught her and they both fell on the bed with Sage landing on top of him.”I’m sorry about that.”On cue the door flung open and they both saw Bruno standing in the doorway and he didn’t look happy. His gaze went back and forth between them she can only imagine what must be running through his head.
“What the hell is going on here!”He demanded angrily.
Sage climbed off Hugo.”Nothing.”She said.”It’s not what you think before you draw your own conclusions let me explain.”
“Explain what? I thought you were at home.”She could hear the accusation in his voice, his gaze fell on the rumpled sheets and clothing on the floor
before meeting her gaze again.”What happened cat got your tongue.”Sage could feel the anger coming off his body.
“Bruno…”She went to him but he moved away from her touch.”Your aunt called me yesterday and asked to see the boys, I agreed but this morning Logan woke up having another fever I rushed him to the hospital but he’s fine the doctor said it’s only an ear infection. I came here to tell your aunt why I couldn’t bring them today but she wasn’t here, Katherine said she wouldn’t be long so I waited she offered me tea and I accepted after a few sip I began feeling weak, dizzy my head was hurting. I set the tea down and got up after that everything went blank when I woke, I found myself naked in bed that’s when Hugo came out of bathroom and asked what I was doing in his room. I have no idea how I got here and why I was naked, Bruno please you have to believe me.”
His silence was nerve wrecking it killed her.”Why did you lie to me when I asked where you were.”
“I panicked because even I don’t know what happened, so what was I gonna tell you. I’d never lie to you, I love you.”
“Yet you did a moment ago.”He threw back at her.”How do you expect me to believe you now when you weren’t honest to begin with. How would you react if you can find me in bed half naked with your sister.”
“Nothing happened between me and Hugo, I promise you.”She wore her top.
“She’s right Bruno nothing happened.”He flashed Hugo a deadly look it even scared her, that look in his eyes was empty, cold devoid of any emotion.
“It’s hard for me to believe you.”He finally said.
“Bruno please..”She pleaded.”You have to.”She wanted to go to him but he lifted his hand to stop her.
“After everything I told you, how could you do this.”His cold tone made a shiver rush down her spine.”For how long has this been going on. How long have I been played for a fool. For the second time, first by my ex-fiancee and now my own wife.”
“Nothing is goi-…”
“Shut up!”Bruno growled over Hugo.”I want the truth.”
“There’s nothing going on between us Bruno, I swear to you.”Sage said.”No one is or has been playing you for a fool.”
“If there’s something I hate it’s lies.”He chuckled softly it made fear settle in Sage knows nothing she says will make a difference.”Do I look that stupid to you!”The harshness of his voice made her jump.”I must be if you expect me to believe all the crap you just told me.”The pressure with which he was crushing his phone told Sage the extend of his anger maybe now wouldn’t be a good idea to continue talking about this yet at the same time she wants him to know that she’ll never betray him in such a manner.
Hugo came over to them, he laid a hand on her shoulder.”Sage, let it go. We need to give him time to cool off then we’ll talk about this more calmly.”Hugo’s hand on her seem to trigger something in Bruno because his fist shot out and made impact with Hugo’s jaw, he fell to the ground Sage gasped.
“How dare you touch my wife! Who gave you the right.!”Sage watch shocked as the two brothers landed fist after fist at each other, a second later she went to them and grabbed Bruno’s arm.
“Bruno! Stop it!”She stood between them.”Enough. What’s wrong with you, I told you nothing happened between us. We can talk about this when you’ll be calm.”
“There’s nothing to talk about. It’s over.”With that he stormed out, Sage rushed after him but it was of no use he climb into his car and sped off, all she can think about is his words it’s over, it’s over, it’s over. No she won’t accept that he will listen to her because all of this a misunderstanding, she cannot think of betraying him in this way. She waited for him the whole day and night but he never came neither was he answering her hundred calls, she didn’t get much sleep last night because she had been up waiting for him. Wearing her robe she went to check on the boys it’s then she found him standing and gazing out the window still wearing yesterday’s clothing.
