SAGE:

"Please, please don't-" I was begging and crying, but my cries and pleas fell on deaf ears.

I was starving and so hungry, yet I here I was trying to live just for another moment. Desperately begging him to stop.

I was chained finally, yes. My hands and legs were chained. Why? Because I tried to kill myself by cutting my wrist.

I feel those dirty filthy hands on me again. I try to move but I can't as my movements are restricted by the cuffs around my wrists and ankles and each time I move they dug deep into my skin.

My pant and underwear are harshly pulled down again for I don't know. I managed to count atleast 20 times he raped me.

I was tired and knocked out by the continuous orgasms and no rest at all. The pain that came due to constant rough fucking and why not?

Maybe I deserved this all. Maybe I was what he called me.

Slut.

Whore.

Freak.

Manwhore.

Fucktoy.

Slave.

A dog.

And many more names that I don't even remember.

I feel a sharp pain in my back as he thrusts roughly into my ass without any preparation.

"Stop this, please-" I sob but no use.

I feel the sting as my butt cheeks are spanked again and again with every thrust. When I was about to cum, I felt something on my dick and it led to more pain.

Yes, you guessed right, a cock ring to stop me from cumming. And that's what he did.

"Please, let me cum, please-"

*Slap*

I am slapped on my face very hard. Again and again and again.

I felt the metallic taste in my mouth, I had broken my lip again. I winced in pain.

"Now listen here, you slut. You are not to cum unless I say so. And if you do, you know what's in store for you next." The man said very harshly gripping my hairs and pulling me to face him.

"Words, you whore." He say and once again...

*Slap*

"Ye- Yes-"

*Slap*

"Yes what, you whore?" He grips my hairs tight again.

"Yes, sir." I reply but I wince, because my face and cheek hurt so much.

"Good." He says and then he opens the table drawer.

I try to open my eyes, but I can hardly see what he is doing, until I feel a sharp pain in my abdomen as if I am being cut open.

And guess what, I was being cut. That bastard really plunged a knife, deep, but not to cause any major damage, just to give cut and moved it across my abdomen.

"Arggghhhhhh, stoppp-" I scream and yell and thrash around but he keeps on laughing like a maniac.

"Well, since you have been a good boy, I will reward you." He say and takes off the damned cock ring and whispers in my ear, "Cum now, you slut", and I cum but that delayed orgasm, the hits and the pain from my abdomen being cut just hits home and I feel my vision going blurr until I hear some loud blarring.

I get up with a jolt. It was my alarm going off. I picked up the clock and thrashed it against the wall, making it stop.

I was covered with sweat dripping like I was just out of shower.

"Fuck," I swear closing my eyes tight and taking deep breaths.

Unconsciously, my hands trace the scars on my abdomen and open my eyes again.

I grabbed my phone and saw it was 5AM in the morning. I knew I won't be able to sleep now. It's always like that, I can't sleep at all after my nightmares. But thankfully it was in the morning and I had enough of rest and sleep.

I took a cold shower and brushed. Dropping my towel, I wore my track pants and a tank top and took out a small towel walked out.

I grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and drank half of it while wearing my running shoes. I took another bottle and then walked out of my apartment.

I usually take the stairs, but today I didn't want to, so I took the elevator as I am on the 15th floor. The building is of 40 floors with the top 5 floors being privately owned with a penthouse at the top. But who cares? Rich people and their money.

There is a very large area which was converted into a park not long after I had arrived here. It been like 6 months since I came here.

I start walking slowly first with music playing in my ears. There's a few people running and working out, but I keep my pace and distance.

My mother, before she passed away, had managed to set up an account for me in the bank with almost 2 million dollars in there, without the knowledge of my father. And I always find it crazy. Maybe she knew that I would need that money someday and I did. Which is how, I had managed to buy this apartment.

The apartment did cost me a lot. Since that was the last apartment and also the smallest with just one bedroom and kitchen, I got it for almost a 90 thousand dollars.

Yeah, I know, too cheap, I thought it to be a scam, but once I saw the apartment which was soon to be my home, I felt very warm. It was small, sure, but it was cozy, just like how I would like it to be. Besides the rest apartments were all more than million dollars each.

I realised it was time to actually run now, since I had warmed up. So I started running. I ran a whole of 5 and half laps around the whole football ground and then unable to breathe, I finally decided to stop.

I had a couple sips of water and then poured all the water over my hairs and face and shook my head. I did have a small towel around my neck which I used to wipe my face, while my hairs were still wet.

I walked one lap and finally decided to sit down on one of the benches. When I started walking, two people stopped me.

"Excuse me?" I asked surprised.

"Sorry, sir, the bosses are seating over there. Could you please find yourself another seat?" One of the men asked.

I tilted my head and saw two men seating side by side on a bench and one of them standing. So these two were bodyguards.

"Well, if you can find me another seat without making me walk that far again, sure." I said and walked ahead and took a seat on the bench next to the three leaving a bench in between us.

The guards didn't stop me and I didn't give a fuck of who the three were, though I could feel the stares burning into me.

My phone rang bringing me out of my thoughts. There was no ID. I panicked slightly.

I didn't recieve the call. It stopped. I breathed in relief again, but it started ringing again and I was scared shit that my phone slipped out of my hand and fell. It continued ringing though.

I finally answered the call.

"Yes, who's this?" I asked but there was no reply for a while, but then came the voice I dreaded.

"Hello, Son. Enjoying life?" He asked and I started trembling.

"D-Dad?" I said my whole body was shaking.

Why did he have to call now?? But most importantly, how did he get my number?

I frantically stood up and looked around the park, my eyes meeting the three men and the two guards for a second.

"Don't look around for me, son. If I was around, I'd be fucking you dead for pulling that little stunt of yours and running away, you little slut." He said and I closed my eyes tight.

I saw one of those men walking towards me. Why was coming here? Was he my...? No no no. He can't be..

I didn't dare take off my eyes off that man until he stood right in front of me. I could see he his face as it was a bit dark around still and right now we standing under the lamp post.

He was dead gorgeous. Sharp jawline, pointed nose and his eyes. I couldn't make out the color of eyes. But they were beautiful. Something about his was weird. I felt very safe which was very odd. And I let a sigh of relief while I closed my eyes for a moment.

But then again....

"Come home, son. Don't make me repeat myself. If you're not here by tomoro, I will find you. And when I find you, it won't be good at all." He started his talk again and I couldn't bring myself to talk.

And he hung up. I was scared no doubt, but there was also this sense of safety, relief that embraced me.

I looked up to the man who was still in front of me. There was literally no expression on his face.

"Um.. it's very odd. You're a stranger, fuck you could be some serial killer but I don't give a damn right now. I just..." I couldn't say thanks. But I had to.

I looked around and then brushed my hairs back. And then looked at him again.

"I just want to say thanks. You must have realised I panicked for a moment just now, but.. the moment you stopped in front of me, I.. anyways thank you. Your presence, it saved me from a panic attack just now. So just.. thanks again." I babbled and ran out of there.

(Here, Sage thinks that the man is his father. But he is not. He is a random stranger. The reason why he says his presence saved him from a panic attack is- because sometimes some people radiate the aura, the vibe or say an energy that just being in their vicinity is enough to calm you down instantly. It could be a person you know or it could be a complete stranger.  The second reason is because Sage thinks the man is his father but then he realises he's not when the man stops in front of him)

No I couldn't stay there even for a moment. I reminded myself that the first thing I would do is change my number. So while walking I took off the simcard and threw it in the pond. I did have like 10 or more simcards with me just in case.

It took me 5 more minutes to reach the building. I didn't bother the stairs, I went for the elevator straight.

I had a long day ahead. I was awaiting replied from the applications for the jobs that I found just yesterday.

After I was done with bath, I made myself some juice and pancakes and bacon and scrambled eggs. Once I was full. I made some coffee and stood at the balcony for a while.

I grabbed my laptop and immediately did what I was good at. I hacked into my father phone to see his location and he was right. He wasn't here.

YET.

I was a professional hacker and an IT specialist. I knew accounting and I was best at it. Anything with numbers and computers and I was the best. Yet, I didn't want to just drop onto some high post. So I applied for jobs like assistant, waiter, valet, bartender etc.

I had bought a car on loan. It was a black matted range rover, my favourite. I activated my new sim and then started scourging my mails for the replies and one of them definitely caught my eye. I opened the mail.

Hello and good evening,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been selected for the interview which will be held tomoro at the DAL enterprises at 4pm in the evening for the post of the assistant.

Please make sure to get all the documents and dress formally, preferably a suit and a tie. The interview will be conducted by the CEOs themselves. Please be on time.

Thank you and looking forward to see you,

Tina M.

Former assistant and manager.

I checked the clock it was 10AM right now, which meant I had enough time. I decided to gather all my documents first which I did. It took a while but I did finally.

I cooked some light lunch and had it. By the time I was done it was 2.30PM already. I didn't have a suit, so I decided to buy a couple as I still had some money left.

I dressed up and went out taking the elevator straight to the garage. I walked upto my while and got in. I turned on the car and started moving when I saw a two Black Hummers with a Rolls Royce Fantom in between leaving. I gave them a horn so that they know I was moving out.

I got in the front and they followed me from behind. After I got out I gave them a side changing signal and took off. I didn't bother checkinh who they were or if they were following me or not. I only had to reach the company on time. I couldn't be late.

I entered the TJ clothing store. It was the largest clothing store in the city. As soon as I went in, I was greeted by the girl who was very beautiful to be honest.

"Hello, my name is Gia, how may I help you?" She asked and I gave her a smile.

"Hello Gia, could you help me find a couple suits. I need them for a my new job. And more preferably under a fifty thousand dollars please?" She smiled and led me to the suits section.

"Here, these are the most affordable prices, starting from $200 to $800 off the rack suits. And $400 to $1500 made-to-measure (custom made). The cloth is good quality and its skin friendly, so if you directly wear it without washing, it won't be a problem." She explained and I nodded.

I picked out one grey, one navy blue and one black suit. I tried all of them while checking time. I decided to go with the grey and then I paid all for all them and changed in the changing room and kept the rest suits and my clothes carefully in my car.

I started driving and in next 20 minutes I was at the company. I went in and gave my name to the receptionist. She asked me to wait as someone would be coming down to take me.

"Hello, I am Tina. You must be Mr. Castilo?" She asked and I nodded.

"This way please." She guided and we went to the elevator which said private.

Sensing my confusion she smiled and explained.

"This is the private elevator. And it goes directly to the 49th and 50th floors. The bosses' office and your office will be on the 50th floor. The 49th floor is close to an penthouse. That's if the bosses have to stay back or if there's a lot of work. The two conference rooms are on the 48th floor. The HR is on the 40th floor. And then the rest departments are easy." She told me everything patiently.

"You mentioned former assistant, so are you leaving? Why?" I asked and she smiled again.

"I have been working for the bosses for past 6 years. I got married last year and I am pregnant now 20 weeks. Yes, I know I don't look like it but yes. And my husband wants me to stay home and rest. And my bosses were grateful, so as a last favour for them, they asked me find an assistant for them." She explained again.

"Is it just me or are there more people?" I asked and she laughed. I looked at her in confusion.

"Well, you're the only guy who has applied, but there are many girls or women, but honestly I already like you." She said further tapping mu shoulder.

Before I could ask anything, the elevator door opened and she took me to the waiting room. And I quickly realised why she said she liked me. I looked back to her to see her smiling. I smiled and shook my head showing her a thumbs up.

I took a seat and then opened up my laptop. Well, I had to do something. I needed this job someone. Tina liked me. Maybe the bosses will like me too. These women wore dresses which only went only upto their asses. If they had to bend down, you could easily see what color undies they were wearing, and their boobs almost popping out.

I decided to pull a trick. I adjusted my glasses and quickly hacked into the company's system. Nothing harmful. But if they tried to do anything, all their data would be transferred to me. Nothing would be lost. But what surprised me was how  easy it was to hack into the system.

What about the security? This big company and such a low quality system security? So many loopholes and no back up?

I counted 5 before Tina came rushing and the phones started going off. I heard the yelling from the bosses' office. I decided to stay calm and drank some water.

"Mr. Calisto, you said you were an expert in computers right?" Tina came running in and I nodded.

"Come in. HURRY." She yelled and I went behind her.

She led me into the office but I stopped when I saw him and for some reason, they all stopped as they saw me.

I felt like my world stopped and I couldn't take my eyes off. So he has ocean blue eyes. Nice.

"Mr. Calisto"

"Mr. Calisto?" I heard Tina's voice and I shook my head before looking at her.

"Yes, tell me, so what's the problem?" I asked and she told me. It was clear she was panicking.

I cleared my throat making all three of them look at me.

"First of all, don't worry. All your data is safe. Second, for a company as huge as this, I am still wondering if I should really work you. Third, if the company's data system is so easy to be hacked, it won't be long before you really get into trouble and go bankrupt or whatever. Now, as for how I know this? I did it. I hacked into your system. It was so easy and I bet you even have any backups." I explained while typing a few numbers in my laptop and then I stood up just in time for the phone to ring.

"Please, answer that call." I requested them and that one guy with ocean blue eyes did.

"Yes, tell me." He asked his eyes still on me.

Fuck his voice is so deep.

"Good. Thanks Mr. Hatcher." He said and hung up.

"You're hired. Tina send those sluts back. Fuck I am tired of them trying to pop their boobs out. Please. And please 3 strong coffees." He ordered.

Tina walked out and I was too. But he stopped me.

"Mr. Castilo, stay back." I turned around and looked at him.

He walked towards me and held his hand out.

"Damon. Damon King. It's nice to have you." He said and I shook his hand with a smile.

"Sage, Sage Castilo. Pleasure to work for you, sir." I replied and for a split second I saw him go stiff but he relaxed. I kept my smile.

"Good, this is the second eldest, Aiden King and that one is Lucien King, the eldest. I am the youngest of the triplets." He still didn't smile.

"Hello, pleasure working with you, sirs. And if you don't mind me asking..." I said and Damon nodded.

"Please, anything you want to ask." He said.

"Don't you smile? Even a bit? I mean no offense, but if I'm suppose to work as your assistant, I prefer working with humans rather than robots." I said and I felt the air change shift in the room.

"Now, if you excuse me, please." I said and Damon just nodded.

I turned around and started walking when Tina came in with coffee.

"Just a suggestion. A strong whiskey would do the work. You can take back the coffee. Have a great evening. I will see you tomoro." I told her with a smile and left.

Before I even reached my car, I got a mail approving that I was accepted for the job. I smiled and shook my head before getting into the car and driving off.

Third Pov:

"So? Whiskey huh?" Tina asks her three bosses with a smirk after she is  really back with three glasses and a bottle of whiskey.

Of course the triplets start laughing at her joke. Damien shook his head.

"This morning he was almost about to have a panic attack. And he looked like a harmless kitten. Who knew he was more of a tiger?" He scoffed, taking a sip of the whiskey.

"I need everything there is to know about him." Aiden said rubbing his eyes.

"Don't bother. There's nothing except  his name, age, birthdate and his qualifications. I couldn't find anything else. Not even where he lives." Tina told her bosses taking a seat on the couch across Lucien who was quiet all time.

Aiden looked up to him and then looked at Damon who was already looking at him. Aiden mouthed 'what' to him, but Damon just nodded.

"Luci, should we go home? I'm just not feeling well." Damon said with a groan and that caught Lucien's attention.

In a blink he was next to Damon.

"What's wrong? Do we need to see the doctor?" Lucien asked while looking worried at Damon, who instantly felt guilty.

"Nah, I am just feeling too tired out. You know with all that's going on for past few days. I haven't had a proper sleep." Damon explained himself and Aiden nodded feeling guilty as well.

Both knew our protective and emotional Lucien was over both of them and now Tina, as she was pregnant.

"Babe, is Marcel picking you up? Or should we drop you home first?" He asked turning around to look at Tina who was smiling.

"Why are you smiling?" He asked his eyebrows furrowed but she just shook her head while waving her hand.

"Nothing, honestly I don't feel good leaving you guys on your own. But I can understand Marcel, he is just as protective as you guys and wants to make sure I am well throughout. But don't worry, I will speak to Sage tomoro and make sure to tell him all the necessary things. Also it might be a good idea to clean the IT department if they're just going to sit there and let people hack and steal data. I am even beginning to doubt about the previous problems we had during most of our very important deals. Marcel is picking me up, but do think about my words. I am not very sure, but it's okay to doubt than to suffer later." Tina said and just then her phone rang.

"It's Marcel. See you boys." She said and they all hugged her making sure not to hug her too tight.

"Yeah, go home safe." Aiden said and she left.

Everybody was back to their seats when Lucien cleared his throat and the other two brothers looked up.

"What is it Luci?" Aiden asked and he just smiled shaking his head.

"Nothing, just wondering, how foolish I am at times." He replied while his eyes were on Damon, who immediately ran to his brother's " side.

"Hey, I'm sorry okay. You looked distracted. What was it?" Damon asked and Lucien sighed.

"Nothing, our assistant. I was thinking. He is weird?" He said more like a question.

"Yes, I think so too. He sat out, hack our data system and then solved the problem and had the audacity to talk so much. God the amount of disrespect! I just want to bend him on my lap and spank his ass." Aiden said loosening his tie and making the others groan at the idea.

"What am I wrong? But jokes apart. First, he is smart and intelligent. He knows his work. Second, he is brave enough to speak to us like that and we are his bosses imagine we could fire him then and there. Maybe send him away, he didn't care anything aside from work. Third, I can see him putting many of our employees and partners in their place. He is rude and arrogant as fuck." Aiden complained but in a good way.

"And the way he told Tina to get whiskey instead of coffee, he knew. He fucking knew we would be pissed and some drink would just help us calm down and fuck it worked." Damon replied.

"I think so too. He will prove to be an asset fot this company. But we need to keep our other jobs from him a secret. At least until a few days till he's settled down in his post. Also, he is innocent despite anything that has happened, so we definitely shouldn't drag him into our second business. We can't play with or risk his life or endanger his life. We have to be extra careful." Lucien added and the brothers agreed.

"Alright, let's go home. I just want to catch up on some sleep." Damon said and they all left.

Their car was already parked outside the gate ready for them to leave. The brothers nodded at their security and they left for home.

They parked their car and started walking towards the elevator. Just as the elevator was about to close somebody yelled.

"Hold up, please." And Damon immediately held the elevator.

"Um, thanks." The person said getting in, but then he looked up and turned around.

"Fuck!" He cursed and he heard a small giggle.

"Mr. Calisto? Nice meeting you here. Do you stay in this building?" Damon asked and Sage nodded.

"Guess so." He said not sparing them a look while pressing his floor number.

Sage was just back from his run. He was as usual in his tank top and trousers. His hairs wet and a few strands fell over his forehead.

The three bosses found it hard to breathe seeing the man in front of them. They all exchanged looks but none said anything.

"Hey, wana join us for drinks and maybe dinner?" Aiden asked Sage who jumped at the sudden voice.

"Geez, atleast make some noise. Almost scared me to death." Sage muttered.

"Um, okay. I don't mind. I need to shower first. I am literally stinking of sweat right now." He replied, scrunching his nose at the end.

*Ding*

"That's me. What time do you want me to be there?" He asked and the three exchanged looks before Damon replied with 8pm.

"Is it like a telepathy thing between you guys?" He asked curious.

"We are your bosses, you remember?" Lucien snapped.

"Well, bosses don't call their assistant who was just interviewed for a drink and dinner now, do they?" And he left with a smirk.

"Fuck, that hit hard now." Aiden said with a serious face.

"Sorry, my fault, I'm just..." he stopped and no one spoke after that.

Once they entered the house, each went to their own bedroom. All rooms had bathrooms and closets built in. Plus there were two guest rooms.

After all were done with bath and stuff, Damon said he would be sleeping for a while asking to call him for dinner. While the other two brothers started cooking.

The clock ticked 8 and Sage was still not there. Aiden woke up Damon and all three were in the living room waiting for their feisty assistant. It was 8:30 and still no sign.

"Do you think he is alright?" Lucien asked the other two. But before they could reply the door bell rang.

Damon opened the door and saw a bloodied Sage in front of him. Sage on the other hand seeing it was Damon immediately let himself lean against his body.

"Guys, come out quick." Damon yelled while still holding Sage.

Lucien picked up sage and they ran towards the guest room. He laid him on the bed carefully.

"D- Damon," Sage whispered and Damon was instantly by his side.

Sage held Damon's collar and pulled him close. Damon as well as the others were shocked.

"Please, save me." He whispered trying to breathe at the same time.

"Save you? From whom, da- Sage? We will save you, but from whom?" He asked but Sage didn't answer first.

"My, my dad. He- he is here. He- he found.. me.. please." Sage tried to speak again.

"Okay, I will. I promise, but you stay awake. Okay. Luci- Lucien will just do your first aid. I will get the doctor. Okay?" Damon asked his voice more gentle.

"No- no. You- you don't..." Sage stopped and took a breath again. He tightened his grip on Damon's shirt.

"Don't leave me, please." He said trying hard to speak and Damon felt a pang in his heart.

"Okay, I won't leave you. I promise. Aiden, can you get the doctor for us. Carry your gun with you." Damon told his brother.

"Yes, carry your... arrghh.. your gun. He- my dad is having one. You.." he started wincing.

"Please don't talk if it hurts, ba- Sage." Lucien spoke this time while cleaning the cut on his forehead.

"You, be safe, okay?" He asked and Aiden nodded.

"I will Sage. I promise." With that Aiden took his gun from the drawer and took the safety off. He first checked the security cameras for the public lift and as told there was a man there going down.

Aiden took the private lift and instantly smiled.

"This boy. He took the public lift not to let his father come up to us. Did he take stairs? That's fucking 5 floors!! God I love him already!" Aiden yelled looking at himself in the mirror.

The public lift went only upto the 40th floor and you could climb stairs later up. While the private lift went straight up and stopped only on the the floors from 41st to the 45th.

Meanwhile, at the penthouse, Sage was trying hard to keep awake.

"Damon," he called out in a whisper, but the older heard him.

"Yes, ba-Sage. I'm here. Do you need anything? Are you in pain? Please hold on for a while. Lucien check where Aiden is." Damon spoke and Sage nodded.

"I- I want to sleep. I am tired." He said once again wincing in pain as he spoke.

"Alright, sleep da- Sage. I will wake you up. I am right here besides you. Lucien is on the other side. No one is leaving. You are safe okay?" Damon spoke his voice more soft and Sage nodded.

Within next few minutes, his breaths evened out. He was asleep.

"I'm gona fucking give him a horrible death, I promise." Damon said running a hand over his hairs.

"Don't worry, little one. Horrible? He will beg for death but we won't give him, and that's a promise." He said his eyes on the sleeping beauty.

"You like him, don't you?" Lucien asked his brother who turned red instantly.

"Don't worry, I like him too. And I am sure Aiden does too. We've had so many people but no one felt right. But the moment I saw him at the park, I knew it was him." Lucien said turning to face his brother.

"I know right. He told me my presence made him feel safe and he felt calm. He was about to have a panic attack in the morning. I juwt had to stand in front of him and it helped, only he knows how. I have no idea. Though I accept I wanted to scare him a bit, but who are we kidding, he walked past our security and said he felt safe with him." Damon replied to his brother who was now admiring the boy in front of him.

"Aiden, wait." Lucien said and called his brother.

"Yes, all okay? On my way to the lift. With the doctor."

"Nothing, it took you a while. Come up soon." Lucien replied.

"See you." Aiden replied and hung up.

"Where is he? Is the doctor with him?" Damon asked and Lucien nodded.

"Good."

In next 10 minutes, the door opened and both of them were on alert.

"It's me guys." Aiden yelled from outside and the boys relaxed.

Soon the doctor was here. The doctor was a friend.

"Fuck what is this?" The doctor dropped his bag on the floor and rushed to the side where Sage was while pushing Lucien aside.

"Jasper, we don't know what happened. He came here all bloodied. We just gave him first aid and called you." Lucien explained.

"Okay, can you turn him around, I need to see the back of head." Jasper asked and Damon slowly lifted Sage head up.

"Fuck, Lucien call for ambulance and take him to hospital. He needs immediate surgery. I can almost see his brain." Jasper gasped and made a few calls.

Soon the ambulance was here and they all immediately rushed out.

"You guys go ahead. I will pack some food and put the rest in fridge. Will see you there." Aiden said and the other two nodded before leaving.

Sage winced and grunted a bit when he felt movement.

"Damon, whe-" he stopped and tried to move his hand around.

Right now it was Jasper who was close to him. Not Damon. Jasper didn't hear, but saw him move.

"Hi, I am Jasper, the doctor. We are taking you to the hospital. You need an immediate surgery. Please stay calm." Jasper tried to explain, but Sage panicked.

The monitor started beeping fast. This caught Damon's attention.

"What's happening?" He asked and Jasper said he was panicking.

Sage tried to get up.

"Da-Damon," he tried to say it out as loud as possible.

Jasper moved quickly. And Damon took his place immediately.

"Sage, calm down. Please. I am here. And you are safe. We are going to hospital. You need surgery, you have.. a big cut on the back of your head. Please don't stress ba- Sage. You're hurting. Stop." He tried to calm him down.

"You- stay, please." Were the last words he said before he slipped into sleep.

"What happened? He was talking just now. Tell me." Lucien asked this time.

"Don't worry. It's just a sedative. To keep him calm. It's bad if he put stresses too much. This will help him. Trust me." Jasper assured.

Soon they were at the hospital. Jasper stopped Damon and Lucien.

"I need to get ready for the surgery. But don't you worry. Okay? Eat something while you can. Leave this to me now. He will be fine." Jasper patted both their shoulders and left while noth the brothers stopped and saw their feisty little assistant being taken away.

Half and hour later, Aiden arrived with tiffin.

"Guys, come on. Let's first eat and then we can come back here. We have to be here once he is out." He told them and both brothers agreed.

After what seemed like forever, Jasper came out running. The triplet saw him and immediately jumped to their feet.

"How is he?" Damon was the first to ask.

"He is fine and out of danger. But.." Jasper stopped and looked at the three of them and then looked around.

Let's go to my office. Come on. NOW!!" He raised his voice a bit louder.

All four reached the office and Jasper lockes the door, and then closed the blinds. Then looked at the brothers looking at him confused.

"Okay, now, what I am about to tell you is very disgusting that it makes me want to kill. You know me, how much I despise you guys killing all the time. Hell, I almost divorced Nate because I found out he was involved in the killing with you guys." Jasper said pacing around his room.

"What are talking about. Be clear. What is it?" Lucien asked stopping him by holding his shoulders.

"Jas, what is it? I have never seen you like this in the 15 plus years that I have known you." Lucien said with worry lacing his every word.

"But promise me, as soon as you get your hands on this man or whoever it is, you will torture him. Don't give him an easy death. Hell this time I will help you to keep him alive. I will treat him and you will torture him and I will treat him again and repeat. Promise me." Jasper said his eyes bloodshot and his breathing ragged.

"I promise you, Jas. Now please tell us. We are really worried." Damon and Aiden came a bit closer.

"Okay, see these. Keep swiping until there is nothing to swipe." Jasper said and handed the iPad to Lucien.

All three started gasping. All were fuming with anger by the time they reached the last photo.

"Calm down for now. There's more. Don't let anger get the best of you. Right now, he needs you. So we will decide what to do once he is awake and stable. Till then don't even think of anything." Jasper warned them and they agreed.

"You said there is more?" Aiden spoke up. But before Jasper could answer there was a knock on the door.

"Wait." Jasper said and went to get the door.

"Dr. Gonsalves, the reports you asked for." The nurse handed the paper folder and left.

Jasper locked the door and came in again. He opened the reports and closed his eyes tight shut and took a few deep breaths.

"I had a doubt. But I wanted to make sure, more like I wanted to prove myself wrong. But I was right. Sage..." Jasper stoppe not knowing how to speak.

"What about Sage? Tell me please." Damon held Jasper's hands and asked almost like he was begging. Jasper felt bad, but he couldn't hold it back.

"He was raped." He said with his eyes closed and the room felt silent.

Jasper opened his eyes to see Damon kneeling on the floor while Lucien and Aiden sat on the chairs.

"And it was the not first time." Jasper said again and all three pairs of eyes shot to him.

"What do you mean?" Lucien asked his voice dangerously low that suddenly the temperature of the room fell low.

"The DNA matched. It was his father probably. Don't know why, but he was in this hospital for some treatment and it showed up. They looked ridiculously similar. He is old enough to be his dad. So yes. He was raped a multiple times, not now but previously. The images you saw on the pictures, those wounds, some are  from long time, but some are from say 5 to 6 months ago." Jasper told them and they gasped.

"God, that's..." Aiden trailed off rubbing his face.

"So that means he ran away from home. And this morning when he was on call, when he almost had a panic attack, that call which shook him that his body trembled, was from his dad. But how did he find out where he was staying and how did he manage to get inside his house?" Damon said looking at Lucien.

Lucien didn't waste time. He called somebody.

"Get me the CCTV of our building, the public elevator, and the 15th floor within 5 minutes. And take the guards on duty for interrogation." He hung up.

*Ding*

Lucien checked his phone and checkd the CCTV. And what he saw made him furious.

"They will regret even existing." Lucien said and the brothers agreed.

There was a knock again at the door. Jasper got the door.

"Patient is awke and he is looking for Damon." The nurse said and all heard.

"Fuck." Damon curse and ran out of the room.

Once he reached the room, he stopped in his tracks. And then walked slowly till was besides Sage.

"Ba- fuck. Sage, how are you feeling?" Damon asked and held Sage's hand.

But Sage's next words shocked not only Damon, but, also Lucien, Aiden and Jasper who entered the room later.

"I thought you left me, I missed you."  Sage replied his eyes closed and a small tear falling from one of his eyes.

"I'm sorry." Was all Damon could say
