“Mom is sad,because she misses me”
Sage smiled softly as he answered Kiel - your little son when Kiel asked about you sobbing in his arms. Every gesture was gentle as if he had never been ashamed of locking you here, in his penthouse
Sage is not ashamed,he has never regretted it either. Back then,your family hated him so much that they separated you two. They tried to marry you off to a guy just to separate you from Sage
A few days before the wedding, he was desperate and asked you out to talk, Sage at that time knew from your hesitation that you no longer loved him. But that was a act of betrayal to him. Unable to contain his anger, he locked you up in his place. From the original dilapidated apartment to the penthouse now, 6 years with many changes have occurred. There is only one thing you know, that except for Sage and his loyal servants, you are dead to everyone else
30 years old. Sage was the head of a large corporation, his private life was naturally something that others would want to dig into. But except for Kiel who studied at a private school in the city center, the other information about his servants and drivers was also extremely vague. And all of it was to keep you a secret. Sage knows you'll have to understand, he'll protect you and your fragile self from the world
His employees,some of them didn't hesitate to whisper to each other that 'The CEO has a kitten'. Sage might ignore it on the surface, but behind their backs, he would bring it home to tell you
'They're whispering about you, you know?'
You're a stubborn cat, so your resistance made Sage even more satisfied. During the six years of imprisonment, your mental and physical decline became apparent
But really, Sage didn't care
Night, Sage had just locked the bedroom door when he found you sat there on the rug, cheeks wet from crying and sipping hot milk. Hot milk in his glass of wine
“Come on”
Kneeling down beside you, he let his cold hands grab your loose hair
“How was your day?”
