A Relentless Pursuit for Love novel Chapter 5

The clear skies darkened, descending into gloom in the blink of an eye. A sudden strong breeze whipped Sage’s white blouse and her hair. From afar, she looked very much like a ghastly ghost.

“Aaargh!” Yeva let out a terrified scream as she covered her ears, turned around, and shoved past the others. In fright, she tried to scramble away.

Julian, on the other hand, was still startled, and he stared blankly at Sage before murmuring, “It’s not me, it’s not me who harmed you… leave me alone…”

In his panic, he grabbed a pebble lying nearby him and threw it at Sage. Sage, however, caught the pebble in her hand and aimed it at Julian’s head before launching the pebble at him.

“Aaargh!”

The two who stood by the door could hear the waves of shrieks. They were horrified to see dark blood streaming down Julian’s head. They felt their legs weaken as they instinctively inched backward.

Covering his head with his hands, Julian felt as if his head was about to explode, and then he realized that his hands were covered in blood. Meanwhile, the woman in black high heels closed in on him.

He frantically looked up and met Sage’s cold eyes. That was when he finally came back to his senses. “You… you’re not dead… you’re still alive…” he stuttered.

Towering over Julian, Sage looked down at him with disdain. She remembered the times when he used to relentlessly pursue her. However, his feelings soon turned to resentment, and in the end, he was even willing to destroy her for his own selfish gains. Sage looked at him indifferently.

“Julian Jefferson.” This was the first time in three years that she had said his name. “I’m sorry, but I’m here to tell you that the good times have officially come to an end,” she added, slowly.

It was Yeva and him who had schemed and plotted against her three years ago. They had tricked her into going for a hike in the mountains. They had wanted to make it look as if she had fallen off the cliff by accident. Of course, she had not died. This, however, did not render them innocent.

Karma always hits back harder.

Sage swore that she would make them pay for everything that they had done.

Today, chaos reigned in Rosa Garden.

Sage had not had any rest since her return home. She had hired a team of cleaners to clean out all of Brexton and Yeva’s belongings from the rooms that belonged to her parents and her.

“No! My jewelry, my dresses, and my bags! What do you think you’re doing?”
