A Relentless Pursuit for Love novel Chapter 8

Yeva,still clutching the mic in her hand, was drenched from her head to her toes.

Looking at the culprit standing in front of her, Yeva’s lips trembled and she gritted her teeth before yelling at the top of her lungs, “Sage Norah!”

“Are you awake now? If not, I don’t mind getting another bucket of water.”

The music, which was still blasting in the background, was loud enough to wake the entire town. Sage threw the bucket in her hand at the music player. With a loud bang, the music player fell off the desk, startling Yeva.

The deafening music finally came to a stop.

“What happened? What’s going on?”

Braxton, who had been woken by the loud commotion, came walking into the room. Catching sight of the drenched Yeva, he surmised that his precious daughter was being bullied. “Sage, what are you trying to do?”

“Daddy, she threw a bucket of cold water all over me. I’m freezing!”

Yeva was shivering in the cold as one of the maids hurriedly wrapped her in a blanket. With tears welling up in her eyes, Yeva looked at Braxton pitifully and said, “I couldn’t sleep so I wanted to listen to some music, but Sage didn’t allow me to do even that.”

With that pitiful look on her face, she transformed Sage into the perpetrator.

“There, there.” Like a loving father, Braxton comforted her daughter, “Sage has just returned, and you should let her be for now. Don’t let her get to you, alright?”

Yeva nodded her head obediently, but she still looked utterly wronged.

Sage was unfazed as she watched the “loving” display enacted by father and daughter. She crossed her arms and asked coldly, “Are you guys done with the act?”

Braxton and Yeva turned their heads at the same time. Both of them looked flustered.

Standing by the door, Sage glanced toward Yeva and said, “If you behave crazily in the middle of the night, I’ll assume that you are merely sleepwalking. If there is a next time, I’ll be sure to dunk you in a tub of ice water so that you’ll return to your senses.”

“And,” continued Sage as she looked at the father and daughter, “now that you’re staying in my house, you will play by my rules. I’m a light sleeper, and I don’t want to hear any sounds or noises at night. If you can’t follow my rules, then get the hell out of my house.”

After saying her piece, Sage left the guest room, leaving the dumbfounded father and daughter.

“Dad, she—”

Yeva sulked as she pointed at the exiting Sage. Yeva had the urge to grab Sage by the hair and fight it out, but Braxton held her back. “There my sweetheart, let’s calm down…”

After having all the maids leave the guest room, Yeva closed the door as she dried her hair and fumed. “Dad, are we supposed to let Sage push us around like a bunch of losers?”
