“Now you know how I feel.”He spat at her.”It’s a bitter pill to swallow isn’t it.”
Sage wanted to hate him throw something at him but couldn’t whatever he says or whatever she does won’t change the truth, and even knowing he’s cheating on her it won’t make her love him less. How ironic life can be.”If leaving me is really what you want then fine I won’t stop you. I’ll raise my kids alone I survived without you before and I will again. Loving you won’t stop it will take me a lifetime to get over you and move on, having to live without you will be hard but for the sake of our unborn babies I must. Whether you believe me or not these two lives that are growing inside me are your seeds your blood and that of our sons as well as mine are running through their veins. There’s no need to leave your home the only intruder in here is me.”Sage fought hard not to cry in front of him what felt like an eternity he eventually took his jacket and left, he left the room, the house, her life and her heart too. After his departure she broke down and cried until she fell asleep.
The sound of Margarita’s voice woke her up the next day.”You have a visitor senora.”
“I wanna be alone. Please tell who ever it is I’m not feeling well.”She wants to lick her wounds and mourn the death of her and Bruno’s relationship, their marriage too.”I don’t want to see anyone.”
“Pity. Cause I’m not going anymore.”Sage heard Lana say at the door. What in the world was she doing here and why was she wearing the cross Bruno had given her.”Do you mind.”She told Margarita.”I wanna talk with her.”Margarita gave her a worried look.
“It’s okay.”Sage assured her.”Give us a few minutes. What do you want here.” Sage asked her when they were alone.”You not welcome here and where did you find my cross. Why are you wearing it.”
She gave Sage a very peculiar look.”More like you not welcomed here. You and Bruno will get a divorce soon then he’ll marry me.”
“Who told you we’re getting a divorce.”
“He did.”She said.”Don’t tell me you not aware of our reunion. We’re together again like we should’ve been before you showed up and ruined everything.”
“He lied to you. He loves me and our sons.”
“Oh Sage.”She muttered.”You so naive and ignorant. Bruno only married you for the sake of his sons, he never loved you he wanted what was best for his sons and he thought by marrying you he’d fulfill that but unfortunately he can’t anymore, he’s tired of pretending whenever he’s with you when all he wants is to be with me.”
“You lying I don’t believe you.”
“Where do you think I got this from.”She touched the cross around her neck. “He found it lying outside Hugo’s room after finding you in bed with him.”
“That isn’t true. Bruno would never give you that necklace.”Sage’s mind worked over time why did Bruno asked her where the cross is if he’d given it to Lana. It doesn’t make sense.”And how do you kn-..”
“We love pillow talk after making sweet passionate love. Where do you think he’s been spending his nights. I also know about your babies.”Sage eyes grew large.”Bruno doesn’t believe they are his but we both know the truth. Don’t we. How could you sleep with his brother Sage especially knowing about what happened in the past. Do you have any idea how hurt he is but don’t worry I’m here to comfort him.”She took out something in her bag and handed Sage a tiny box.
“What is this?”She asked.
“In there you’ll find the real answer as to why Bruno wants a divorce from you.”Don’t open it Sage she told herself over and over again yet she did. All the color left her face when she saw a pregnancy test staring back at her and it showed two lines.”Bruno and I are expecting our first baby together or should I say babies we both know twins runs in the family.”
Sage couldn’t browse one word she didn’t want to believe Lana but Bruno told her he wanted to leave her, is this the reason. Is Lana really expecting Bruno’s baby the shock is so much for Sage that she sank down on the bed. He had lied to her when he had said nothing was going on between them when in truth Lana is actually pregnant with his child, no wonder he’s leaving her it’s because of the baby he’s expecting with Lana.”I feel so bad for you. He was only using you Sage and now he’s done with you the rightful queen to this palace is me, the one his heart belongs to is me.”
“This isn’t true.”She whispered.”It can’t be.”
“Be in denial it won’t change the fact that he doesn’t want you anymore and that I’m carrying his baby. We’ll get married as soon as you get a divorce. This will be my home soon and this bed will be ours. Oh poor Sage did you really think a man like Bruno can love you, you nobody and you’ll go back to that dump you came from. I’ll make sure Bruno forgets you but it won’t be too hard so far I’m succeeding he’s leaving you for me.”
Sage should’ve known this evil witch would come here and rub it in her face. “Congratulations. I’m happy for you now if you done gloating. Get out. I wanna be alone.”Now more than ever she wants to be alone.
She flashed Sage an menacing evil look as she walked to the door.”Oh before I forget I’ve got something to tell you.”
“I don’t want to hear anything from you.”
“Either way I’ll tell you anyway. It was me.”
“What are you talking about.”Sage asked.
“I’m the one who drugged you and staged everything. I took of your necklace when you’d been unconscious. I knew the only way to separate you and
Bruno is if he catches you cheating, he hates betrayal and if you betray him he’ll never forgive you especially infidelity. My plan worked perfectly better than I anticipated. And don’t bother telling him I’ll deny everything besides he doesn’t trust a word that comes out of your mouth and if you still don’t believe me call him tonight you’ll hear who answers his phone. Me. He’ll be spending the night in my arms. Ciao darling.”She swung the door open.”When you leave make sure nothing gets left behind. I need quite alot of space for my clothing.”Sage wanted to slap that smug evil smile of her face but held herself back she cannot overexert herself it’s for the safety of her babies she won’t risk losing her babies for someone as worthless as Lana. She despises that woman and everything she stands for. How can anyone be so cruel, so evil and heartless as to see two people part ways only because of their own selfish reasons.
She’s never hated anyone before but she does Lana with every fiber of her being even though she doesn’t want to believe a word she has just told her deep down she’s afraid that Lana might be telling her the truth and she has no clue as to how she’ll handle the situation if Lana is correct. Bruno wanting to separate from her doesn’t help this whole situation either. Only way to find out if Lana spoke the truth is to call Bruno if they really are having an affair than he won’t come home tonight and if she answers his phone then there’s nothing more for her here. The rest of her day wasn’t so great all because of that evil woman was she really related to Maya, two sisters yet they are so different one is kind and loving, the other devious and evil. As the day progressed Sage dread night time she wasn’t even sure if she should call Bruno or not but if she doesn’t then she’ll never know the truth, Bruno had denied being involved with Lana so she can’t expect him to be honest with her because he believes she isn’t with him.
“Senora.”Margarita knocked on the door Sage told her to come in.”I brought you dinner.”
She’s not in the mood for food or anything but she can’t think for herself anymore.”Thank you. Has the senor come home yet Margarita.”
She shook her head.”He called and said not to expect him tonight.”Lana had been telling her the truth Sage kept on telling herself after Margarita left. He was gonna spend the night with her, in her arms, make love to her while she’s here pregnant with their babies and on bed rest she needs him here and he’s out there with his mistress. Sage’s throat clogged up with tears but she forced them down she won’t cry for a man who decided to throw away their love.
Yet later that night when she finally called Bruno and Lana answered his phone she knew all hope was lost there’s nothing here for her anymore. What she and Bruno had is over he had made that clear but the love she has for him prevented her from believing it, now she knows for certain he had told her the truth. Having to live without him won’t be living but for the sake of their children she has to no matter how hard it will be.
“Senora, please don’t go.”Margarita pleaded with her a few days later.”Wait for the senor to come back home.”
